Zhang Zi'an received a notice from the crew that there was a scene of an adult dog appearing today, and he needed to go to the crew to guide the work.

To be reasonable, he was quite excited the moment he received the notice, after all, this was his first official appearance in the crew, although it was a pure male crew, there was no encounter to look forward to.

Early in the morning, he told Lu Yiyun a few words, asking her to call him if she had a customer in trouble, and then led Feimas out of the store.

took a taxi to Binhai Film and Television City, Zhang Zi'an went straight to the gray-white courtyard last time, which was rented by the crew of "War Dog" as a work area, and some scenes were filmed here.

A sentry with a rain canopy was placed at the entrance of the compound, but there was no one standing guard in the sentry because it was not time for filming. There is a sign hanging on the gate of the courtyard, which reads: Xin'an City Police Dog Training Base.

Xin'an is a fictional western border city in "War Dogs", where part of the scenes of Lightning and other police dogs played by Feimas take place in their adult years. After filming the plot here, the crew will go out on location to shoot the scenery of the western snowfield, of course, this part is also a set in the film and television city, and then combined with the real snowfield location in post-production.

"Brother Zhang!"

Someone called Zhang Zi'an, and when he heard the reputation, it was Xiao Liu who auditioned with him a few days ago.

Xiao Liu was wearing a police uniform, holding the red dragon and the prince, and had been waiting for Zhang Zi'an here. He and Xiao Wang didn't worry about leaving their dogs here, so they would rather come over during filming, but they didn't have the permission to enter the crew, so they could only make an appointment with Zhang Zi'an and hand over the two police dogs to Zhang Zi'an at the door.

He handed the leash to Zhang Zi'an, "Brother Zhang, Chilong and the prince will please you!"

The thought of the danger that his dog may encounter in the crew, whether the danger comes from the filming itself or from someone making a bad mess, makes him feel very uncomfortable.

During the filming of the movie, even the actors may be injured accidentally, and news such as celebrities falling from horses are familiar from time to time, not to mention the animals in the crew, which is unavoidable. Some foreign animal films will have subtitles at the beginning or end of the film, deliberately stating: "No animals were injured during the filming of this film", which can be described as the ultimate humanistic care for animals. But apparently "War Dog" can't do this, and even the dog was injured during the audition.

"Don't worry, I'll try to take care of them. Zhang Zi'an comforted, "From today onwards, they will appear almost every day, I see you running back and forth, and after filming, I will take them back to the store, and I can't compromise them." ”

Xiao Liu nodded, "Okay, I believe you, Brother Zhang, Captain Sheng also told me so, then I'll go back to the base first." ”

He turned back step by step, staring at the red dragon and the prince reluctantly, as if he was parting from life and death.

When the taxi he was in disappeared from view, Zhang Zi'an led the three German pastors to the courtyard.

The red dragon and the prince are very obedient to the Pegas, and they do whatever they do, although they are three adult dogs, it is not difficult to hold them at all.

There are people coming and going in the yard, and a few of them are slightly familiar, they should all be staff members of the crew, Zhang Zi'an looked around, looking for a place to check in with his face.

"Mr. Zhang, over here. Feng Xuan's assistant saw him from afar.

Zhang Zi'an led Pemmas over.

"Mr. Zhang, have you read all the scripts to be filmed today?" the assistant motioned to follow him to the backyard and asked as he walked.

"Of course, I've seen it several times, and I can memorize it. Today's shooting is the scene where Lightning trains in the training base, right?" Zhang Zi'an confirmed.

"Yes, today's scene is not difficult, Mr. Zhang, although it is your first time participating in the shooting, it should be fine...... Oh yes, this is your pass to wear it later. The assistant handed him a badge with a photo of Zi'an's ID card indicating his position in the crew.

Zhang Zi'an wore it on his chest according to his words.

Coming to the backyard, it was very different from the audition the other day, when it was rugged and full of potholes, but now it has all been filled in and compacted, and there are a lot of props for police dog training, like crossbars, low walls, concrete pipes, balance beams, unlit fire rings, it looks like that.

There were already more than a dozen dogs waiting there, each led by a different dog trainer.

Feng Xuan sat on a soft chair, with a small coffee table in front of him, a monitor on the coffee table, and a megaphone in his hand, talking to several actors.

Several cameras were set up in the venue, controlled by different photographers, shooting from multiple angles.

As for the other lighting, set and sound crews, they are all in place and waiting for the filming to begin.

Zhang Zi'an looked around and didn't see Guan Biao, after all, there was no blasting scene today, and Guan Biao probably didn't have to go to work.

The assistant gestured in another direction and said, "The director is busy, Mr. Zhang, I'll take you to meet the actor Lin Feng, and let your dog get acquainted with him, so as not to have accidents during filming." ”

The accident he said was probably that he was afraid that Feimas would bite Lin Feng during the filming, Zhang Zi'an was not worried about this, but since Li Kun wanted to take Lin Feng's signed photo to his mother, he just took this opportunity to ask for one.

The assistant led him to the makeshift makeup studio and said with a smile: "Fortunately, this play is all men, and it is much easier to put on makeup, if there is a scene where a big-name actress appears, it may take 3 hours just to put on makeup." ”

There are two dressing studios, one large and one small, the big one is a public makeup studio, and the small one is of course dedicated to the few stars in the play.

The assistant knocked on the door and heard the inside say "Please come in", so he led Zhang Zi'an to push the door in.

The electric heater was on in the dressing studio, it was very warm, a male actor in his thirties was sitting in front of the makeup mirror, and a female makeup artist was applying smear to his face, and the two laughed from time to time.

"Brother Lin, let me introduce to you, this is Zhang Zi'an, the main dog trainer hired by the crew, this is his dog Feimas, who plays the adult lightning in the play, and the other two dogs are teammates who play lightning. The assistant enthusiastically introduced.

"Hello! Welcome to join the crew! Sorry, I'm putting on makeup, so I won't get up to shake hands. Lin Feng didn't have any big-name actors, and looked at Zhang Zi'an and Feimas through the makeup mirror.

"Hello, my name is Zhang Zi'an, and I am a new dog trainer. Zhang Zi'an casually looked inside the makeup studio, it was very messy, filled with the scent of various cosmetics, and some plastic models wearing wigs for makeup artists to try on on their faces.

After looking at it for a while, Lin Feng asked curiously, "I heard about what happened on the day of your audition, it's really thrilling...... Hey, let me ask you, how did your dog find out about the anomaly? ”

The assistant was also curious, waiting for Zhang Zi'an's answer.

Zhang Zi'an knew that there must be people in the crew who would be suspicious, so he prepared the answer in advance, and said: "You have heard that in the subway, airports and important international conference venues, there will be special explosive search dogs to search for dangerous explosives. ”

"How amazing is that?" the female makeup artist also stopped what she was doing and looked at Pemmas with interest, "How did you train?"

"Sorry, it's an industry secret. Zhang Zi'an replied, "If I say it, I won't have anything to eat." ”

Pegasus squatted in place, and Red Dragon and the Prince did the same.

When taking over the play, Lin Feng was still a little worried about being bitten by a dog at first, but seeing that these three dogs didn't seem to be aggressive, he was somewhat relieved.

"This dog doesn't bite, does it?" he asked, half-jokingly.

"If you need it to bite during filming, it will bite, but other than that, it won't bite, so don't worry. Zhang Zi'an felt that this little star was also quite approachable and relaxed. 89
