Chapter 415: Become Famous Overnight

Binhai Film and Television City is located in the outskirts and occupies a large area. Inside, there are all kinds of pavilions, towers, pavilions, mountains, forests, waters, and even some wild animals. This film and television city has just been established. It is a project strongly supported by the leading group of Binhai City in order to develop tourism and film-related industries. It has been given the green light from the beginning of construction. Because it needs to attract customers from other film and television bases across the country, the rent is relatively cheap, and it has successfully attracted many crews, and the crew of "War Dogs" is one of them.

When Zhang Zian went to college, this film and television city didn't even have a shadow, and it had already been built before he knew it.

The driver told him a lot of gossip about the film and television city along the way, and kept cursing the German shepherd that bit his friend and its unscrupulous owner, and there was some jealousy in his words. It seems that if he raises a German shepherd, he might try his luck. If he succeeds, the salary for this movie is equal to how many years he has been driving a taxi? Subsequent commercials will be calculated separately.

Soon, the taxi arrived at the outskirts of the film and television city, Zhang Zian paid the fare, and took Fei Masi out of the car.

It happened that another person led a German Shepherd dejectedly and planned to leave, so he got into this taxi. Judging by his appearance, the audition probably didn't go well.

His German Shepherd is a female, and seems to be very interested in Femas, and always wants to run to Femas, but the owner dragged her into the car.

"How is it, buddy, is the audition difficult?" Zhang Zian tried to strike up a conversation with him. It would be great if he could know some inside information and prepare in advance.

But this person was depressed and obviously didn't want to talk, so he slammed the car door, told the driver the name of a place, and drove him away in a rental car.

Zhang Zian was already desperate for his strike up skills. He knew that Fei Max should feel very aggrieved in the car, so in order not to frighten the frightened driver, he deliberately kept his mouth shut all the time against his nature-this further showed that Fei Max was very reasonable, and he was very reasonable with the family. It's just that the cat who is always the number one in the world is different.

"Mr. Zhang! This way!"

Before Zhang Zian had time to look carefully at the newly built film and television base, he heard Sheng Ke waving at him from afar.

"coming!"

Zhang Zian trotted over with Femas.

Since only the main body has been completed, the relevant supporting facilities have not yet been built. The film and television city is surrounded by a wilderness, with no shelter, only some withered grass under the snow, and the cold wind is particularly strong here.

Sheng Ke huddled in the police car, wearing a police uniform and a green military overcoat that was standard for extras in the film and television city. He almost froze into an idiot when he got out of the police car.

His lips were blue from the cold, and he poured wind into his stomach when he opened his mouth, and pointed vigorously to a gray-white courtyard in front of him, meaning to go in and talk.

The two of them ran into the courtyard with a dog, and it was a little warmer with the courtyard wall to block the wind.

Zhang Zian noticed that there was a sign poked in the yard as soon as he entered the door, which was shaken back and forth by the wind, and might hit the street at any time. The sign reads: "Dogs of War" crew audition office, registration phone xxxxxx, deadline xxxxx.

He was startled, and calculated with his fingers, damn, the deadline was yesterday! Wouldn't it be a waste of time to run today?

"Captain Sheng, look at this..." He pointed to the deadline on the sign for Sheng Ke to see.

Sheng Ke waved his hand, "As far as I know, they haven't picked a suitable dog yet, so the audition can only be postponed. I'll lead you in, it doesn't matter."

Zhang Zian was somewhat relieved now, he was not afraid of not being selected, but he was afraid that the trip would be in vain, and Femas would be very disappointed.

"Captain Sheng, you are busy with work, why do you have the time to come over with me today?" He asked while holding Femas's leash.

Sheng Ke led him inside, and said with a bad expression: "I'm here today to bring back the police dogs in the team, and I'm going there soon... Cough, there will be an internal operation soon, and it won't work without the police dogs." He almost accidentally leaked the secret , fortunately stopped the conversation in time.

Zhang Zian tactfully did not dwell on this issue, but asked, "Why are your superiors so keen on this matter? Is it for the film's salary?"

Sheng Ke shook his head helplessly,

"Where do you think...Although the police force is not particularly well-funded, it is not enough to covet this money. The main reason... is to appear in the subtitles at the end of the film"The police dog in this play is from Binhai City Criminal Police Brigade Provide ', and also put the name of the police dog on it."

As he said that, Sheng Ke gave him a "you understand" wink.

Zhang Zian suddenly realized that for Sheng Ke's superiors, the salary he got was useless and would be confiscated anyway, but this subtitle could add luster to his political achievements.

He thought for a while and asked suspiciously: "As far as I know, animal actors in Chinese movies are generally not nominated specifically at the end of the film, right?"

Growing up in a pet store, Zhang Zian liked watching animal-related movies very much when he was a child, and even now he likes it very much. He remembers that the Chinese film industry does not pay much attention to animal characters. Unlike the Western film and television industry, the names of animal actors will directly appear in the movie credits list. As a result, there are no famous animal actors in the Chinese film industry. Even if a certain animal has an amazing performance in a certain movie, people will not know its name.

For example, in the episode "The Sign of Four" in the bbc version of "The Detective Collection of Sherlock Holmes", Toby, the dog who helped Holmes in the play, appeared in the cast and crew list at the end of the episode, not only saying "" , and even wrote "trainer: benwoodgate", the names of the dog and the trainer are all clear at a glance.

Sheng Ke seemed to have expected him to ask such a question, and immediately replied: "It is said that this movie is different, and it can be regarded as learning this kind of humanistic care from the western film industry. Not only will the dog's name be written on it, but even the training The author and source—if there is one, it will also appear in the beginning and end of the film. So not only the superiors, but even some comrades in our police dog training base are also very keen on this matter..."

At the end, he sighed.

Zhang Zian felt his helplessness, in the end it was nothing more than fame and fortune.

He understands why the owners of pet shops and kennels are also flocking to it. Just imagine, when the opening star list appears "This show's starring xx is provided by xx kennel/pet shop in Binhai City", what will be the effect?

Become famous overnight!

It is equivalent to putting the advertisement in front of the national audience without spending a penny, and may even be seen by overseas audiences...

Sheng Ke was afraid that his expectations would be too high, so he added: "Of course, you have to be mentally prepared. Even if you are a new actor, you don't have much money to star in your first movie, let alone a dog...so the salary is not high."

"It doesn't matter, it may not be selected, the important thing is to participate."

Zhang Zian pretended to smile easily. Although FIMAS seems to be very confident in its own strength, Zhang Zian understands China's national conditions better. The casting of a movie does not mean that you have strength. In many cases, off-site factors will play a decisive role... Like Unspoken rules and the like, but probably no one would be so crazy as to follow the rules of hidden dogs, right? That's a beep dog!

The two of them talked and laughed, and walked into a small two-story building in the courtyard.

As soon as they entered the door, a person who looked like an employee stopped them, glanced at Femas, and asked, "Is this an audition? Have you made an appointment?"

"I have made an appointment." Sheng Ke replied, "My surname is Sheng, and my friend's surname is Zhang. This dog is named Feimasi, and it comes from Qiyuan Pet Store."

"Wait, I'll check."

The employee picked up the walkie-talkie, chatted a few words in a low voice, and then raised his hand to signal: "Please come in, hurry up."

Sheng Ke was not in a hurry to go in, but handed over a high-end imported cigarette, and said with a smile: "Let me ask, have they chosen a satisfactory dog ​​yet?"

Since he was wearing a military overcoat, the staff couldn't see his epaulettes and didn't know his police rank, so they thought he was just an ordinary police officer, so they took the cigarette politely.

Sheng Ke also took out a cigarette and stuffed it into his mouth, and lit himself and him respectively with a lighter.

The employee took a deep breath and coughed again and again, "This smoke is really strong!"

After taking two more puffs, he replied: "No, the director has not chosen one that he is satisfied with. If he has chosen one, should he continue to choose?"

Sheng Ke was smoking a cigarette, his body became warmer, and he winked at Zhang Zian, meaning you read what I said, right?

The employee spit out a string of smoke rings, and said: "However, I heard that today is the last day, and the producer has been urging all day long, so it can't be delayed any longer. The funds, equipment, and actors are already in place, and a large number of people are on the way." I can't afford the consumption here, food, clothing, housing, transportation, food, drink and toilet, every extra day the crew spends more than one hundred thousand yuan..."

With a cigarette between his fingers, he pointed at Sheng Ke and Zhang Zian, "You are also the last batch of auditions."

Zhang Zi'an said in his heart that he was really lucky, and if he came a day late, he would have made a trip in vain.

The employees kept complaining that they had been smoldering for a long time: "There are also those actors, even the young actors that I have never heard of, who are yelling all day long that the schedule is coming up, urging the director to start shooting... Bah! They have a The schedule of chicken feathers is nothing more than showing a sense of presence in front of the crew! You know that the current actors are all uncles, and they are all so arrogant like the emperor's father, I really can't afford to serve you!"

Zhang Zian and Sheng Ke looked at each other, both happy and worried. The good news is that this director seems to be more persistent and responsible. He insisted on resisting the pressure from the actors and producers to choose a satisfactory dog. What is worrying is that this director has interviewed so many dogs, but he still has not selected a dog. Desirable, isn't the selection standard surprisingly high? Coupled with the rumors that many of the dogs participating in the audition were injured, Zhang Zian was worried about replacing Femas.

"Then what if you don't find a satisfactory one in the end?" Zhang Zian couldn't help asking.

The employee sucked the last puff of the cigarette and stomped out the butt of the cigarette, "Then there is no other way, probably we can only choose one of the existing dogs. Well, you go in quickly, don't keep the director waiting."

Sheng Ke also stamped out the cigarette, and led Zhang Zian inside, into the audition hall.
