Chapter 157: Three Tests
"The smell of blood is so strong, what's inside the iron basin?"
"It can't be raw meat, right?"
"It must have something to do with today's casting requirements, so look at it. โ
โยทยทยทโ
As the young men who were doing chores in the crew carried the big iron basin over, the dog owners standing on the spot, as well as the melon-eating crowd watching next to them, all talked in a whisper.
When Ni Xi learned that he was going to pass the final stage of casting today, he turned on the live broadcast before coming, so at this time, tens of thousands of viewers in the live broadcast room also speculated about this scene, as for the content of the barrage, it was similar to what everyone at the scene was talking about.
At this time, Li Kunsheng said loudly: "Everyone should have watched "The Legend of the Divine Dog" written by Chu Qingxi before coming, and the TV series of the same name filmed by our crew, although it is not said that all the content of the original book is copied, but it is also necessary to restore many wonderful scenes and plots in the book. Therefore, there must be the following requirements for dogs participating in filming. โ
"One, there will be a small amount of bloody scenes in our play, although it is the slightest level, but we still have to consider whether your pet dog will overreact to this kind of scene. โ
When Li Kunsheng said this, the big iron basin happened to be placed in front of everyone.
Ni Xi took a few steps forward and looked inside, and couldn't help squinting slightly, only to see that it was full of bloody animal offal, and even intestines and other miscellaneous pieces, it seemed that it should have just been transported from that slaughterhouse, and the smell of blood was very pungent.
For a while, many pet dogs in the field began to be restless, and some even barked wildly without the control of their owners.
Li Kunsheng glanced at the reactions of the pet dogs in the field, and continued: "If your pet dog reacts too aggressively to fresh flesh and blood, we will not arrange for your pet dog to participate in the filming of this kind of plot." Therefore, you don't have to worry about being brushed off because of this, it's just that there are fewer scenes. โ
Although Li Kunsheng's words were beautiful, the pet dog owners present all heard another meaning in his words - although it will not be brushed off, there are fewer plots that can be filmed, and the status of the natural characters is lower.
After all, the more scenes, the better the role, which everyone understands.
As a result, more than 20 dog owners worked hard to comfort their dogs, hoping that the dogs' performance could meet the requirements of the crew.
The dogs who can be invited to Hengdian and pass the first interview are all smart, beautiful, and obedient. So under the appeasement of the directors, soon the dogs were calm on the surface.
However, Ergou stood at Ni Xi's feet, but there was no restlessness from all to the end.
Although Ni Xi did not let Ergou do training for this requirement, with Ergou's current IQ and willpower, even if he is not happy with the smell of blood, he can control himself rationally.
In addition to this, Ni Xi also noticed that there was a string dog that seemed to be a cross between a golden retriever and a sheepdog, and several pet dogs such as the Duke were also very quiet. Not surprisingly, these dogs should be among the best performers in the requirements test in this area.
However, things are not as simple as Ni Xi thought.
Next, a crew member wearing leather gloves grabbed some of the flesh and blood from the big iron basin and put it in a small iron basin, and then sent it to the mouths of each pet dog in turn!
At this time, it made many pet dog owners' appeasement efforts in vain, and most pet dogs saw the fresh flesh and blood delivered to their mouths, and they all yelled irritably, and some even wanted to eat!
Even the duke, who had behaved fairly well before, let out a low whine uneasily, making his master Lai Ping look nervous.
Finally, the staff took the small iron basin to Ergou and leaned under Ergou's nose.
Ni Xi had already given instructions, so the second dog didn't bark, and directly twisted his head, and even the two eyebrows on the dog's eyes were wrinkled.
Seeing this scene, the staff holding the small iron basin couldn't help grinning and said, "Ergou's expression is humane enough." โ
Ni Xi also smiled, waved his hand and said, "Okay, take it away, Ergou is estimated to be nauseous and vomit." โ
After some testing, Ni Xi noticed that only four or five dogs and skewer dogs could really face fresh flesh and blood and still be relatively calm.
There are crew members next to him who are shooting videos, so there is no need to record the performance of each dog in writing, and after the crew watches the video, the situation of each dog is clear.
"The second rule is that dogs should not react excessively to gunshots and explosions. Although most of our filming is now filming, special effects are added in the later stage, but there are still some parts that have to be blasted and interpreted during filming. So, the next thing to do is to test this aspect. After saying this, Li Kunsheng took out a gun.
Of course, it was not a real gun, but a command gun loaded with empty cartridges.
Then, he personally walked out into the crowd of pet dogs and their owners, firing a shot every few steps, and when he came down in a circle, he fired about a dozen shots.
All of a sudden, the field was chaotic again.
Some pet dogs are timid, and when they hear the sound of gunshots around them, they immediately scream without being appeased by their owners, and some even straighten their dog chains and want to run. Others grinned at Li Kunsheng, but fortunately they were immediately controlled by their master, otherwise they didn't know if they would bite Li Kunsheng.
It is estimated that in the eyes of these dogs, Li Kunsheng, who scares them with a gun, is an out-and-out bad Shu.
However, there were still a few dogs that reacted calmly to the gunshots, and in addition to the second dog, there were the string dog, the duke, a Labrador, and a husky.
Then Ni Xi looked at the uncle who was holding the string of dogs, well, this time it was really a forty or fifty-year-old uncle, and he was also calm, as if he was not worried about the dog's reaction to the gunshots, and suddenly remembered that Kang Dandan said when chatting with him yesterday that this string dog is called Kunzi, which is the string dog whose appearance is most in line with "The Legend of the Divine Dog" selected by the crew.
And looking at the current performance of this Kunzi, it is really not much worse than Ergou. If the second dog in the back still can't get a significant distance from Kunzi, I'm afraid it will be out of the role of the protagonist's pet dog.
Li Kunsheng returned to the front of everyone and said loudly again: "This third is a fire and water test, and the crew must know whether your pet dog is afraid of fire, water, or whether it can swim." As for swimming, it's winter, and it's hard for your dog to freeze, so I'll just report it to me later. As for this fire, you see that there is no prop fire ring over there, as long as you let the dog jump through the fire ring. โ
Hearing Li Kunsheng say this, many pet dog owners couldn't help but discuss.
"It's not too easy to add special effects in the later stage of filming now, where are there so many tests, it's still flesh and blood, why don't you make it clear before you come?"
This is knowing that his dog is not capable of this, and complains quietly.
"Fortunately, my family Maomao has trained to drill rings, and although the fire ring is a bit troublesome, it should be able to jump over. โ
This is secretly rejoicing.
"Hey, isn't it just a ring of fire, trivial. โ
This is full of confidence and triumph in their own dogs.
Ni Xi didn't say anything, just took Ergou to line up to test the drill ring of fire according to the requirements of the crew.
However, his brow furrowed slightly.
Because it is indeed relatively simple to drill the ring of fire, and looking at the middle-aged uncle still with a relaxed expression, it is obvious that the ring of fire is not difficult for Kunzi. In this way, Ergou really has no chance to take away the role of the protagonist's pet dog from Kunzi.
