Pet King

"Please go back and wait for the notice!" The assistant said.

Holding the Demu brought by him, the auditioner asked with expectation: "How is it? Pass? My dog ​​is OK, but I should be able to play a leading role in the photo shoot, isn't it? Ah! You need more than just a dog ... "

The assistant patiently repeated the words just now and asked him to go back and wait for the notice.

After persuading again and again, the auditioner took the dog out of the way, just walked to the door, but spread the traction rope and ran back like a mad man. He threw himself in front of Feng Xuan and begged cryingly, "Director! Director Feng I have grown up watching your movie since I was a kid, please give me this opportunity! I have just lost my job, there are old people, young people, and everyone is waiting for me to support me. My whole family ca n’t get this role. Hungry ... "

Feng Xuan was wearing a very high-end casual suit, except that the suit was covered with soot and dust everywhere, and the wrinkles were covered, which looked similar to spreading goods on the floor. He rubbed his temples tiredly, without even raising his head, let alone the person in front of him not to say extra words. This man's acting skills are pretty good, but unfortunately the audition is for dogs today.

"Don't do this, you will be very distressed. Please go home and wait for the notification. If the audition passes, we will call you." The assistant said, and winked at the security side.

The two security guards forced the audition off the ground, left and right.

The auditioner wiped the tears out and said impatiently, "What if I don't receive a call when I'm bathing or sleeping?"

"We will call you over and over until you answer. If you have not answered, we will come to you, haven't you left out various contact information including your address? Please be assured." The assistant bitterly Persuaded.

Things like this are too common in the audition process. The coquettish women and the miserable men sell, even the young assistants are not surprised, not to mention that Feng Xuan who has experienced many battles has already been immune.

Everyone in the entertainment industry is known for their high film rewards. Everyone wants to sharpen their heads and drill down, even if they want to get a supporting role, let alone their family members use their knees to sell and sell miserable things, let alone today. The main character is to be selected, although the main character is not a person.

The security guards are also unlucky. They dare to force the auditioner to stand, but they dare not pull his dog. Who knows if the dog will be pulled by strangers? Some dogs are trained too much, only recognize the owner, whoever bites whoever touches them except the owner ... In these days, two or three security guards have been bitten. Fortunately, the crew is generous, and compensation is provided for the loss. Otherwise, no one would have come.

"Take your dog away too," the assistant reminded.

"... Okay, remember to call me, don't forget ..." The auditioner Qian Dingyun asked and finally left the dog.

"Next!" The assistant followed him outside, shouted into the corridor, and then returned to the room.

"How many more?" Feng Xuan flipped through a stack of resumes with pictures of various dogs. These were all candidates selected from the auditions. Although none of them could only satisfy him completely, If that doesn't work, you can only pull the general inside the dwarf.

The assistant looked at the tablet in his hand and replied, "There is only one left for the appointment."

Feng Xuan's previous films were mostly anti-Japanese themes, and occasionally there were some urban police bandit dramas, which are considered to be old directors. Although there are no special blockbuster films, there is no particularly bad word of mouth. The connection principle is not unrelated. In the casting process, it can also withstand part of the pressure from the Cypriot side-no matter what, the main character and important supporting role must be selected by him himself. Even if your backstage relationship is iron, at most, only Can play the role of soy sauce.

This stubborn stance made him offend a lot of people, and he has not received a suitable film recently, until the script of "War Dog" was handed to him.

He repeatedly read the script several times, and found the script to be good, the plot is very inspirational and moving. Since one of the producers is the Iron Shield Film and Television Center, there is no problem in review, and there may be a fire after broadcast. Still, he wasn't going to pick this film for a simple reason, because the main character and many of the supporting characters in the film were dogs.

Feng Xuan has not filmed animal films. The only animal-related scene in his previous movies is the scene where the Toyo Devils lead a big yellow dog into the village to sweep ... How can animals understand and interpret the plot according to their own intentions? He had no idea and had no clue.

Part of the problem can be solved through camera skills and special effects, but in the end, it is not the cure, just like the idol small fresh meat actor can't perform the old drama bones anyway. The whole body of the old play is a play. Even a look or a small action can vaguely release a certain meaning and communicate with the audience across the screen.

Feng Xuan is over half a year old. He has two major regrets in his film career. One is that he has not made a big movie, and the other is that he has not cooperated with the many award-winning movie stars in the West. .

After watching the script, he just left it aside, because he was too busy to return it immediately, and forgot about it.

On the second day, the wife saw the script when she cleaned up the room. She wanted to give it to him only, but turned over and became fascinated. Even holding the script looked endless, she even forgot to do it for lunch. She loves animals such as kittens and puppies, but has never raised a labrador she had raised before. Before going to bed at night, she took the script to Feng Xuan and urged him to accept the film. Even if it was not hot, it didn't matter. It was a rare experience. It was better than being ruined by other directors.

Feng Xuan was a little tempted by his wife. Coupled with the fact that he has n’t picked up films recently, he always feels boring to spend time at home, so he promises, and then calls the producer the next day, agreeing to pick up the film.

Since he promised to make this film, he must do his best, and soon he began to contact the screenwriter to discuss some changes and adjustments to the script. As his loyal fan, his wife also gave him a lot of suggestions. After the script was finalized, the complicated work of pulling funds, selecting actors, and organizing a shooting team came in one after another, but he was used to it, mainly in his old team, plus some small fresh meat and other people who were forced into it by various relationships. Vase, personnel were in place soon.

He had a hard time choosing a dog. The protagonist and several important supporting characters in the play are all dogs. Where can I choose? At first he found the Binhai Police Dog Training Base and asked them to help. The training base is very cooperative, with the police dogs in the base almost coming out of the nest, but Feng Xuan always feels almost meaning, these police dogs may be trained a little too obedient, rigid and lacking in spirituality.

Therefore, he decided to conduct a general election for the society, and he couldn't handle the protagonist.

His wife not only likes kittens and puppies, but also likes watching foreign animal movies. It was under her suggestion that Feng Xuan made the decision to have the names of animal actors and trainers appear on the cast list together. She said that the master is in the folk, and this may attract real capable trainers and talented dogs.

Of course, because the film itself requires a police dog, the limitation is that the dogs participating in the election can only be the most representative German shepherd among the police dogs. This election doesn't matter. Under the reward, it's a group of devil dancing. People of all kinds lead the dog to participate in the election. For a few days, the courtyard rented by the crew heard dog barking everywhere. Due to the uneven quality of the dogs participating in the audition, they even made several biting messes ...

To this day, Feng Xuan really regrets the decision to make a sea election, and even regrets taking the film, but regrets are too late, and can only do it bit by bit.

Sitting next to Feng Xuan, and co-chairing the audition work with him, was Nie Yuan, the director of Tie Dun Film and Television Center, one of the producers.

Nie Yuan persuaded impatiently: "Lao Feng ~ www.readwn.com ~ Don't be embarrassed, it's almost enough. I think these dogs are similar, the difference is not so big, just choose one from here."

Feng Xuan knew that Nie Yuan said this to protect the interests of the producers. If she dragged on this way, not only might there be a gap in funds, but even people's hearts might fall apart. It wouldn't be surprising if the film died. If the producer's interests are greatly lost, Feng Xuan will be on the blacklist in the circle. In the future, he won't want to receive a large-scale theater movie. He can only go to the web as the new directors who just debuted. Drama or independent film ...

In the face of real pressure, he has only to choose to compromise.

Feng Xuan sighed helplessly and put down a stack of resumes in his hand. "It's really impossible.

As soon as Nie Yuan heard this old stubbornness, he finally let go. He would wear clothes when he stood up. "Guide Feng, let's go to lunch! Someone will make a meal!"

Feng Xuan looked at his watch and said, "It's only a few times, and it's not enough for dinner ... Who's the guests? Where to eat?"

Nie Yuan narrowed his eyes. "The person in the starry PR department is the best restaurant in Binhai."

Feng Xuan frowned immediately and waved, "Director Nie, how many times have I said, you can't make their dog a protagonist because they promised to sponsor it. I'm responsible for my movie. No, I won't go, you yourself Go. "

Nie Yuan anxiously said, "Director Feng, isn't this the end of the audition? You have to choose one as the main character, I think ..."

"Is there still one?" Feng Xuan asked, looking at his assistant again. "Why haven't you come in yet?"

"This ... I'll take a look." The assistant was also a little puzzled, and said that it would not be our pigeons?

As soon as the assistant opened the door, he nearly bumped into the two people who walked in from outside.

"Sorry, we're a little bit late." Sheng Ke laughed.
