Chapter 467: The Beast

The conference rooms and dormitories in the location are temporary plastic-steel houses. The airtightness is not very good. There is a strong wind outside and a small wind inside. Even indoors, you need to wear cotton or down jackets.

The assistant knocked on the door, and led Zhang Zian and Lao Yang to push the door in, followed by Femas.

"Director Feng, someone brought it here." The assistant left after finishing speaking.

There is an electric heater in the room, but it is not warm due to the frequent entry and exit of people. Feng Xuan was still wearing the green military overcoat he had worn when he went to the police dog base, and was sitting opposite another middle-aged man in a dark blue down jacket.

"Xiao Zhang, Lao Yang, let me introduce you, this is Xu Gang, the Wailian producer." Feng Xuan introduced, "These two are Zhang Zian, the chief dog trainer hired by our crew, and the dog who plays Lightning is He brought Master Yang who was seconded from the police dog training base, he has stayed in the base for more than 20 years and has very rich experience in dog training."

Xu Gang's face was full of wind and frost, his expression was exhausted, his hair seemed to have not been washed for a few days, and he looked like he wanted to sleep. He forced himself to stand up and shook hands with Zhang Zian and Lao Yang respectively.

"Hello, just call me Gangzi." Xu Gang spoke in a very straightforward tone, and he was an informal person. He said to Zhang Zian: "Xiao Zhang, although I haven't met, I've heard people talk about you. Your Femas is very powerful. If you were replaced by other dogs, the filming progress would not be so smooth. In the film and television industry Everyone knows that the most difficult thing to shoot is animals and children, they are not obedient, especially animals."

"Thank you." Zhang Zian said truthfully: "I don't have any skills, but this dog is more intelligent."

Xu Gang thought he was being modest, so he laughed.

Feng Xuan said from the side: "Xiao Zhang, before you joined the crew, Gangzi had gone to the west with the location crew, so you haven't seen him."

Xu Gang nodded and said, "The name 'Waizhen Producer' sounds nice, but it's actually doing odd jobs. This time I went to the west mainly to find props."

As he said that, he and Feng Xuan looked at each other, and said meaningfully: "Fortunately, apart from being more tanned, I was lucky enough to find a satisfactory prop."

Zhang Zian was startled when he heard this—what props do we need to find from the west?

"Thanks for your hard work, Gangzi." Feng Xuan encouraged, "Go to the hotel for a while and have a good rest, get a good sleep, and report back when you have had enough rest."

Xu Gang smiled wryly and said: "You don't need to say, I have to take a good rest. The altitude sickness almost killed me, and I only have half a breath left when I come back."

Feng Xuan joked a few words,

Immediately, his smile faded, and he said to Zhang Zian seriously: "Xiao Zhang, have you read the script?"

"I see." Zhang Zian replied immediately.

Feng Xuan would ask this every day, and he would answer this every day.

I have read the script many times. I read it several times when I first got it, and then read it several times before shooting that day. I can almost recite every word in the script accurately.

Feng Xuan smiled slightly, "Then you have nothing to ask about the script?"

"I want to ask..." Zhang Zian repeated subconsciously, the script flashed through his mind page by page, and finally stopped on one of the pages, which he marked with a big question mark.

"Ah! The power grid outside, could it be..." He suddenly came to his senses.

When he read the script for the first time, he had some questions, some were about the performance, some were about the plot. He has self-knowledge, he is just a small dog trainer, although he has the word "Chief", but he is still just a dog trainer, to put it vulgarly, he is a dog breeder, and his status in the crew is counted backwards. Even if you have questions about the performance and plot, you are not qualified to raise them.

After actually participating in the shooting, these questions have been answered one after another. Some unreasonable things are actually prepared for the small fresh meat or vases forced in by the outside world, or because of the helpless choice due to insufficient funds and technology.

In addition to the questions about performance and plot, there is one question that bothers him from the beginning to the end—it is mentioned in the script that Lightning and several other police dogs played by Femas have to cross the vast and icy Gobi Plateau, which is full of dangers. Wading through minefields, escaping from the cold guns of poachers, being besieged by ferocious beasts, and finally successfully returning to the garrison headquarters for help, this is the climax of the entire movie. Other things are easy to talk about, except what kind of beast this "ferocious beast" is, which is not mentioned in the script.

Of course, because of the word "siege", Zhang Zian acquiesced that the beast was a wolf—wolves are almost the beasts that are best at dividing labor and cooperating to hunt down prey, and they are indeed distributed in the western region, so he kept this question in his heart. Feng Xuan was not consulted.

It is not uncommon for wolves to participate in filming. Whether it is "Wolf Totem" or "Game of Thrones", there are wolves and wolf tamers. There is no wolf trainer in the crew, Zhang Zian thinks Feng Xuan will use Demu to play the wild wolf, this is not a problem.

However, hearing Feng Xuan's question, and thinking of the power grid outside, Zhang Zian began to beat his heart, doubting his own thoughts - it is obvious that there is no need for such a big fanfare to use the German Shepherd to play the wolf... So it is planned to use Real wolf to shoot? And what about the legendary wolf tamer? You won't let him, the dog trainer, come to make a guest appearance, will you?

He really doesn't have the ability to tame wolves. If he joins a pack of wolves, the only result will be to become wolf dung... The salary of 1,000 yuan a day is not worth the risk.

Feng Xuan nodded slowly and said: "That's right, those power grids outside are used to prevent beasts from escaping. As for what kind of beast...can you guess?"

"Could it be a wolf?" Zhang Zian asked naturally.

"No, guess again." Feng Xuan and Xu Gang looked at each other and smiled.

"It's not a wolf? Then I can't guess it." Zhang Zian said puzzledly, feeling a little restless in his heart, not interested in playing this guessing game.

On the contrary, Lao Yang snorted and asked, "Can I guess? Is there a chance?"

Feng Xuan knew what he wanted, and said with a smile: "Okay, Lao Yang, if you guess correctly, I will lose you a whole carton of cigarettes."

"A whole stick of cigarettes? Then I'll guess." Old Yang said confidently, "It's not a wolf, it's a Tibetan mastiff."

Tibetan mastiff?

Zhang Zian's heart suddenly tightened. He thought of those vacant iron cages, which were more than two sizes larger than Guan Demu's cage. Even wolves don't need such big cages. Could it be that they are really Tibetan mastiffs?

Snapped! Snapped!

Feng Xuan and Xu Gang applauded at the same time, and the former said approvingly: "Old Yang, you guessed it right! Gang Zi went to the west this time, just to bring back a batch of Tibetan mastiffs."
