Most of Feng Xuan's previous films were anti-Japanese war films - of course, there is no so-called anti-Japanese war drama, as well as a small number of urban police films, and he has never made a movie with animals as the protagonist.

Since he took over this film, he was going to shoot it well, so he sent an assistant to collect some animal movies and dramas that have a good reputation in recent years, and "Wolf Totem" is also among them, and it is an important reference object for him.

Wolves are untamable animals - the theme of this "wolf totem" itself is nonsense, wolves are the easiest animals to be tamed, as early as 15,000 years ago by different races around the world tamed by different races, otherwise how could there be so many kinds of dogs? Compared with the desert wildcats that were tamed by the Egyptians between 5,000 and 10,000 years ago, the difficulty of domestication of wolves is so simple that I don't know where else.

Dogs and wolves have a lot in common, such as living in groups, having a strict hierarchy within the group, having a high IQ, and so on. Living in groups means that they know how to cooperate and cooperate to hunt and defend against foreign enemies, that they know how to obey the strong in a hierarchical system, and that they can understand human orders due to their high IQ...... These are the basis for their ease of domestication.

Feng Xuan watched the film "Wolf Totem" several times, and found some behind-the-scenes footage at that time through friends in the film and television industry, and systematically analyzed the filming process of this film thoroughly.

During the dissection, he noticed a person. This man's name is Andrew Simpson, an Englishman, a professional wolf trainer who played an integral role in the filming of "Wolf Totem".

Feng Xuan checked Andrew Simpson's resume again, ho, it's really amazing!

This wolf trainer is not only a professional wolf trainer hired by the crew of "Wolf Totem", but also took his wolves to participate in the filming of "Game of Thrones" and "The Revenant", and even the police dog "Howling", which was in the limelight in "Operation Mekong", was also trained by him.

In the early stage of preparing for the filming of "War Dog", Feng Xuan also considered inviting this person to train police dogs for the crew, but two problems prevented him from doing so - first of all, the schedule problem, Andrew Simpson is currently in another crew, and there is no time to get out;

Feng Xuan looked at Feimas again, he had great expectations for this dog, because it was impeccable in terms of understanding, execution and acting skills, and it was natural to pretend to be dead, almost like a real death, and even Nie Yuan had nothing to say - because the better the dog's acting skills, the less money was spent on post-editing and special effects, and it could save money for the producer.

The only thing that worries Feng Xuan is, how dare this dog is? No matter how good his acting skills are, if he runs away when he sees the flames and hears the loud explosion, he will not be able to become the protagonist of this action movie, of course, it is no problem to act in some family dramas. If he had heard of a director friend who was planning to shoot a family drama involving dogs, he would have strongly recommended Pegas.

Feng Xuan's gaze fell on Zhang Zi'an again.

Compared with Feimas, he is actually more interested in Zhang Zi'an, who can train Feimas, after all, if he can train one Feimas, he can train more. He silently looked at the back of this young man, and an inexplicable thought rose in his heart - this young man can not only train dogs, but also cats, if he is willing to develop in the film and television industry for a long time, the future is simply limitless!

He sincerely hopes that Zhang Zian can become his Andrew Simpson, and he can become the Andrew Simpson of China.

"Director Feng, can you start?" the assistant walked up to him and reminded in a whisper.

Feng Xuan snorted and turned his head to look around, but he didn't find the person he was looking for.

"Where is Guan Biao?" he asked, frowning.

"Did you go to the toilet?" The assistant didn't see Guan Biao's figure, and hurriedly raised his throat and shouted, "Guan Biao! Master Guan, where are you?"

When the assistant shouted for the third time, he saw Guan Biao emerge from a sheltered corner of the courtyard.

"It's coming, it's coming!" Guan Biao ran over with a red face.

Guan Biao is nearly forty years old, with a beer belly, but his movements are quite flexible. He used to do mine blasting, because he met Feng Xuan by chance, he is one of Feng Xuan's old team, every time there is an explosion scene in a movie, Feng Xuan will always call him, and this time is no exception.

Having said that, Feng Xuan doesn't like Guan Biao very much, because he is lazy and lazy, and likes to take advantage of small advantages, especially occasionally greedy for cups - as a pyrotechnician, greedy cups are simply intolerable, but fortunately, Guan Biao didn't drink alcohol during the filming of the movie, so although Feng Xuan didn't like him, he still took him with him.

In fact, Feng Xuan didn't have a choice, pyrotechnics are high-risk professions, they don't earn much, but they are very dangerous, there are fewer and fewer young people in China who are willing to engage in this profession, and even many crews have to hire pyrotechnics from the United States with high salaries. It is much more reliable to let Guan Biao do it than to let those folk pyrotechnics do it.

"Master Guan, what are you doing? Let the auditioners wait here. Feng Xuan asked sternly, he was embarrassed to hear Sheng Ke's conversation with the two young police officers.

"Director Feng, don't blame me!" Guan Biao argued, "The film and television city stipulates that when you need to use props such as blasting, burning, and fire, you need to report to the film and television city three days in advance. I reported at 11 a.m., isn't it time yet? I just went to take shelter from the storm. ”

What Guan Biao said seemed to be reasonable, so Feng Xuan couldn't refute it, so he had to hold back the other reproachful words and ordered: "Then you hurry up and prepare, it's going to be 11 o'clock soon." This is the last batch of auditioners, and after that, you can rest for a few days. ”

"Okay!" Guan Biao shook his stomach and ran away, going to make the final preparations before the blasting.

At this time, Feng Xuan noticed that another person had come out of the corner where Guan Biao had just been. He knew this person, it was Yuan Fei, the chief dog trainer sent by the Star Group.

Yuan Fei held a cigarette between his fingers, walked slowly back to the No. 1 cage, glanced over to this side casually, and then turned his gaze away. In the No. 1 cage, there is the Demu "Neptune" sent by the Star Group. Neptune's appearance is tall and mighty, his bloodline is pure, and his comprehensive quality is extremely high, before the appearance of Feimas, Neptune was Feng Xuan and Nie Yuan's most optimistic choice for the protagonist.

Feng Xuan felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, what did Guan Biao and Yuan Fei say and do in that secluded corner?
