my crew is not human

Chapter 379

At the beginning of the new year, a round of crazy shooting began.

The first is Lixin's last three films, which are also modern spy films. The template is based on 007, and the investment scale is [-] million.

Then there's Pets.

Pet Agents is so far the film that Yisheng Media has the fastest project approval, the fastest script, and the fastest preparation.

The reason for this is that apart from the small investment, the very important point is Dong Zixin.

Dong Zixin personally asked to direct Pet Agents.

There is no woman who does not like animals, and she is also very interested in Li Xianyun's creativity, so she made careful planning for it.

The plot of Pet Team is very simple.

A special agent mouse retired due to old age and was adopted by the hostess. He accidentally discovered the shocking secret of the aliens, and then joined a special team formed by koalas, tigers, leopards, wolves, goats, and a group of cats and dogs to rush to the The story of the alien's secret base and its destruction.The base depends on the studio, and the aliens rely on ghosts.

It's all routines, the key is that the plot is simple and easy to understand, after all, it's for children.

After reading it, Dong Zixin had no opinion on the script, but put forward her own ideas.

She believes that what should be strengthened is not the behavior of the animals, but the emotional performance.

Animals also show obvious emotions.

The special performance of some animals can be found in many short videos.

For example, a Erha who is afraid of injections shows extreme panic at the moment of being poked by the needle, how funny the expression is;

For example, a sad and distressed koala cried for hours for some reason;
For example, a cat is startled by its owner and jumps up on the spot, and there are also giant pandas, red pandas, etc. who are frightened by babies.

Fear, laughter, surprise, sadness, naughtiness... all human emotions, animals also have them.

Even the birds will form a group to "come on, look here is a silly bird falling" performance.

It's just that because of the inconvenience of communication, people can't tell animals how to express their feelings, and animals don't have the concept of actors.

What people can do to animals is always to use various means to cultivate their conditioned reflexes, instead of telling them what benefits will be gained by doing so at this time.

You can only give the simplest behavioral instructions, and you cannot give more delicate expression instructions, let alone let them know why they do it.

So the animal actors in the movie basically only have behaviors and no expressions-that's too difficult!

The short videos are all snapshots, which were inadvertently captured by hundreds of millions of people, and it is not feasible to put them in the crew.

But with the Beast Kiss Ghost around, none of this is a problem.

So Dong Zixin did not focus on the plot context, but on the emotional expression context, and even shot a preview version directly with his mobile phone, which is why the preparation of this film can be done so quickly—even the preview was filmed now.

After seeing Dong Zixin's preview version, Li Xianyun decided on the spot: just shoot like this.

Really great!
Those funny videos of animals that can only be captured occasionally in people's lives are connected by Dong Zixin and the beast-kissing ghost in a plot way, and animal actors have also become actors in a real sense.

Because of this, just after the end of this year, the pet agent team was the first to start up.

The crew is very small, including fifty actors in total, and the filming location is in the commercial area that has been prepared in the ghost town.

Filming in a commercial area is actually very troublesome.

The main thing here is to clear the field.

The production crew has high requirements for filming, the actors are performing well, and the drunken man next to him yells, "Give it up, get out of the way!"

It's all useless.

You can control the merchants in the business district, but you can't control the tourists either!
In addition, they want to shoot office buildings, and your piece sells stinky tofu, which is not ridiculous.

Fortunately, pet movies don't need to care about this.

Because this film must be dubbed in the whole post-production process, the sound engineer just provides convenience for the post-dubbing.

In addition, the commercial area developed by the ghost town is the closer to the scenic spot, the lower-end, and the closer to the outside, the higher-end. In the middle part, a commercial area similar to a small town is built. The container is built and the roof is covered. It looks like a row of rows The villas are actually shops, but the shops on both sides open with their backs. There is a street in the middle with a lawn and a door. Walking on the street in the middle, it looks like you are in a villa area.

The main portal of the store is actually on the other side, like a yin and yang face.

This will neither affect the business nor affect the shooting.

The pet agent team was carried out in this villa shop.

So starting from this day, this area of ​​the villa area became lively.

I saw animals walking on the streets everywhere, they were like actors, sitting aside and coexisting harmoniously when they had nothing to do.

The technical department set up the scene quickly, and the sprayers started spraying with spray guns one by one, and the required scene was completed in an instant.

The lighting engineer didn't even need to install the lights, he just picked the poles.

I have heard of the microphone pole, but I have never seen the lamp pole.

But there is really no need to make it complicated, because as soon as the pole is put on, the lamps with special power supply with film sticking will start to adjust the light according to the demand.

There is no need to adjust the height, just adjust the angle, and then the actors will enter the stage and move.

Dong Zixin yelled, "Come on the koala!"

A little koala wobbled past.

The onlookers whispered: "It can understand human speech."

The koala over there made a face and gave everyone a middle finger.

The crowd is even more lively.

"The actors will be ready soon. The koala has to sleep twenty hours a day and has to eat. It can only act for two hours...Damn it, it's bigger than a big guy. Fortunately, I cut its part." Dong Zixin Leng snort.

Over there, Lin Doudou and Lin Miaomiao have already started playing.

The brothers and sisters have gone through military marches and short video experiences, and now they have a very good camera sense. They have long been familiar with the lines, they are skilled in moving positions, and their emotions are no problem. A set of shots will be done soon.

But Dong Zixin was not satisfied yet, after looking at it, he said: "Little fart, let's be more emotional!"

She called Koala.

The human performance is okay, but the animal's emotions are not enough.

Appetite melon didn't use it, the animals were not good at acting, and the effect was not good.

At least Dong Zixin saw it that way.

The onlookers were collectively speechless. The koala just now showed the grievance and helplessness when they saw the protagonist. It was something they had never seen before, and everyone applauded.

But Dong Zixin is very demanding, don't fool others just because you are a small animal, animals also have acting skills here!
"The eyes must be playful!" Dong Zixin shouted.

The little koala had no choice but to continue.

Fortunately, the requirements are not high, and the second round passed smoothly.

Dong Zixin turned her head and shouted: "Agent Rat!"

A little white mouse, wearing a special mouse costume, jumped out, stood up to Lin Miaomiao, yelled, and then pointed to the nearby villa with its front paws, which meant that the target was in the villa.

Seeing this scene, the onlookers were once again shocked.

It's true that even the mice are performing!
This is so outrageous.

Is this Yisheng Media really a film and television company?

You are obviously a black technology company.

"Could it be the mechanical mouse pretending?" Someone wondered.

The next moment a cat fell from the sky and landed on Agent Mouse.

Agent Mouse did a backflip, kicked the cat's stomach with its hind feet back, and the cat let out a shriek, flipped in the air and landed firmly.

"Crack! Well done!" Dong Zixin shouted.

The cat and the mouse shook each other's front paws, expressing a happy cooperation.
