Became the best actor, the system just finished loading

Chapter 103 No Animals Were Harmed (asking for monthly tickets)

Qi Hao has no plans to leave before finishing the filming of this drama, and the award ceremony task will indeed have to wait until December.

Qi Hao often didn't even go back to the county town and just lived in the room he lived in in the movie.

The environment was very bad, even infested with cockroaches.

Fortunately, cockroaches are of average size and not as appetizing as the cockroaches in the south.

I heard that people in the south roast cockroaches and eat them, just like people in the north eat cicadas.

Most of the scenes of Qi Hao and Wan Qian have been filmed. Wan Qian will shoot a song and dance scene with Qi Hao. They will be finished soon and can return to the big city to enjoy their lives.

The play with Yue Hong and the others has also been basically completed.

Li Dawei's estimation was correct. If there weren't so many animal scenes, the film could have been shot almost completely in 20 to 30 days.

Most of the remaining scenes are about Qi Hao and the animals.

Qi Hao greatly hoped that the system would be able to reward some useful attributes in the future, such as animal taming +10, animal language +10, and so on.

Or you can reward skill books like "Beast Taming" and "Communication with Beasts".

Qi Hao was hung up and painted on the cliff, then Hei Qi came over and tried to bite off the rope and throw him to death.

It looks dangerous, but it is not safe at all.

This play was difficult to shoot.

It is already difficult for a donkey to untie a rope, let alone asking it to bite the rope through.

Indeed, some animals in rural areas are able to bite ropes.

But that only works if it wants to bite. If it doesn't want to bite, it will be useless no matter how much you torture it.

"Take a break, let Hei Qi take a break too."

Li Dawei took a deep breath and took the thermos cup handed to him by his assistant and drank it in one gulp.

Qi Hao was let down from the cliff.

"Director, this isn't a solution. How about trying a different donkey?"

Just like it is difficult for Chinese people to distinguish the appearance of foreigners.

These donkeys are definitely more alike than the foreign ones, as generally speaking all black donkeys look the same.

"Heiqi, if you continue to be passive and lazy like this, I will fire you."

Li Dawei threatened the donkey, but Heiqi didn't even look at him.

In fact, the crew had already set the rules at the very beginning.

There will be many thrilling shots with the two donkeys, but their safety must be ensured. At the end of the filming, the two donkeys must be safe and sound.

There is nothing wrong with using animals in the filming of film and television dramas, but it is difficult to judge the abuse and killing of animals.

Since animals are in the movie, they are actors. You can't end up removing the actors altogether.

A 1993 film called "Dog King" became notorious for the brutal killing of animal actors hired for filming.

The animal actor Hailong in the film is a military dog ​​who has won the third-class merit. He has been running on the front line with the soldiers for many years. He is well-trained and has outstanding military exploits. He was requisitioned for the film because he has retired.

After a working dog retires, he or she not only has to deal with old physical injuries and the torture of aging, but also psychological problems after suddenly losing their job.

If we look at it from the dog's perspective, Hailong, who was recruited to film, thought he was needed again, so he happily cooperated with the crew's request and rushed forward happily with the explosive pack in his mouth.

Unexpectedly, at the command, the explosive pack in the mouth really exploded, and the sea dragon's flesh and blood flew everywhere, and he died on the spot.

The soldiers who had trained Hailong and fought alongside Hailong could never have imagined that the director would replace the explosive packs with real ones.

Military dog ​​Hailong could not have imagined that after going through many hardships in his life and escaping every dangerous situation unscathed, in the end, he would not even have a complete body left because of filming a movie.

The shot of being blown away lasts only 3 seconds, and the camera is pulled away. There is no need to risk a life to pursue the authenticity of these 3 seconds.

What’s even more outrageous is that when the director was on the show, he had a smug look on his face and said that all this was for the pursuit of “artistic effects.”

Although Li Dawei is a second-generation animal, he really loves animals.

Sometimes, if Hei Liu and Hei Qi were starved for a few meals, they might cooperate more with the crew in acting, but Li Dawei could never bear to do that.

According to him, the crew has enough budget, so they can shoot a few more days.

Anyway, it will definitely be completed within two months.

"We can find a donkey that is good at biting ropes, and give it some makeup so that it looks more like Heiqi."

Photographer Du Jie agrees with Qi Hao's point of view.

People cannot hang themselves on one rope, at least they can use two ropes to die peacefully.

Li Dawei had no choice but to adopt this strategy.

Heiqi was led aside, and he was a little reluctant to leave, as if he realized that his position as the second male lead was about to be taken away.

I thought it was true love, but it turned out to be a pleasant cooperation.

The new donkey didn't have a name, but the keeper called it "Angry" because this old guy bites people.

Originally I was planning to sell it to the town to kill it and eat its meat.

The crew suddenly had to cast again, and it was able to survive for a few more days.

During the filming, the crew was determined not to kill or injure the donkey. Even when it was the last scene, they were prepared to cover Heiqi with a fireproof sheet.

But after the filming, there was nothing that could be done about the fate of these donkeys.

You can't keep them forever.

That would be too saintly.

If people really loved all animals, all the chickens in the village wouldn't have been eaten.

The crew had to eat at least a dozen chickens and half a fan of pork every day, and occasionally some rabbit meat, beef and mutton.

This is a survival need.

"Oh, yes, bite the rope... bite it, damn, where are you going!"

Li Dawei felt so miserable that he wanted to die.

He only needs to cut a dozen seconds of footage.

As a result, I shot for a whole day but didn't get even three seconds of usable footage.

"Uncle, do these donkeys have anything they like to eat? Let's smear it on the rope and let them lick it." Qi Hao came up with another idea. He just didn't study well, but that didn't mean he had a low IQ.

If you really think hard, you can come up with some ideas.

"Yes, that's fine too."

Li Dawei thought Qi Hao’s idea was good.

"Let me think about it. Oh, there really is a donkey. It likes to eat honey. I had a bottle of expired honey, but it ate it all. Later, it gnawed on a beehive and cried out when it was stung."

The breeder quickly figured it out.

The grumpy old man who had just become the second male lead was also pulled aside, and another donkey was brought to the scene.

You know what, after putting on makeup to look like Heiqi and smearing honey on the rope, I actually got the shot I wanted.

Not only that, this crooked idea is actually good and greatly improves the filming efficiency of the crew.

For example, the scene where Qi Hao leads Hei Liu to sing "Crossing the Forest" was filmed with the help of other donkeys.

Black Six refused to cooperate at all.

Sometimes some animals would not move when led, and would even move backwards. When their stubborn tempers came out, not only one Qi Hao, but even seven Qi Haos would not be able to pull them forward.

Otherwise, why call it a stubborn donkey?

However, Hei Liu did a pretty good job in the scene where he carried Uncle Seventh into the city.

Perhaps he felt that his status was challenged and was worried that he would lose his food allowance of two eggs and soybeans.

Overall, the progress is faster than expected.

The original plan was to finish the filming in two months, which means it would be until the end of November, and we would be able to wrap up the filming and leave this valley around mid-November.

Because the filming went so smoothly, Li Dawei has already started thinking about post-production issues.

Qi Hao introduced Jin Dazhou to him to compose the music.

It can also be regarded as a reward for Jin Dazhou's free help in recording the single for him.

During the filming, Qi Hao took the initiative to learn all aspects of film pre- and post-production in order to accumulate experience for future independent filmmaking.

Even took some notes.

Indeed, he can invite professionals from all aspects to join in making a movie.

However, as a director and producer, if you don’t know anything, it’s easy to be fooled and lose your way.

These days, there are more liars than fools.

"Congratulations on wrapping up. When are you leaving?" Qi Hao came over and said goodbye to Wan Qian.

The wrap-up party is gone.

All the chickens in the village were eaten, and there was no decent food in the county town.

We agreed to have dinner together again at the next movie premiere.

"We'll leave tonight and go to Xi'an for two days," Wan Qian paused and said, "Thank you, Teacher Qi Hao, for taking care of me for so many days. Also, thank you for helping me keep this role."

People should know how to be grateful. She knew that if Qi Hao and Li Dawei had not insisted on the audition result, the role she played would most likely have been snatched away by someone else after the outside world learned about the luxurious creative lineup of "Let's See".

"Why thank me? You got the role based on your own ability."

Qi Hao did not take credit for himself. At most, he just had more face than most people in the entertainment industry.

"Can I treat you to a meal when we get back to the capital?"

For Qi Hao, his actions may just be a piece of cake.

However, for Wan Qian, who has almost no resources and can only kill time by playing games, Qi Hao is definitely a timely help.

Moreover, ever since she and Qi Hao decided to work together, more and more scripts have been handed to her.

It seems that everyone is certain that her collaboration with Qi Hao will increase her fame.

It would be the same even if she didn't have any scandal with Qi Hao.

Wan Qian understood a little.

Why do people say that you will become famous if you have a scandal with Qi Hao?

In fact, even if we put aside the metaphysical aspect, popular idols like Qi Hao can also boost the popularity of the female stars they work with.

As your popularity increases, more scripts and businesses will seek you out for collaboration.

As long as you have the ability to seize the opportunity, you will naturally become famous.

"Of course...some of our friends often get together to sing or something, so if there's a chance, we'll invite you to join us."

Qi Hao intends to bring Wan Qian into his own small circle.

Once you enter their circle, it may be difficult to get the role of the leading actress, but resources such as supporting roles in movies and leading roles in TV series are often introduced to each other.

"Thank you so much!"

Wan Qian didn't expect such a pleasant surprise.

Not long after Wan Qian finished filming her drama, Qi Hao also finished filming his drama.

He had almost developed a close relationship with the donkeys Hei Liu and Hei Qi, and was reluctant to leave.

However, he could not change the fate of these donkeys.

At most, we would invite the breeder and the village chief to have a drink and ask them to take better care of the donkeys.

Qi Hao gave them an introduction to what tourism economy is.

The area of ​​the old county town is itself a scenic spot. The ancient city of Fopingting next to it is a cultural relic protection unit of SX Province, among which the sturdy and tall stone city walls and the three city gates in the east, west and south are well preserved.

Moreover, the village has rich folk culture, and Houzhenzi folk songs have been included in the list of local traditional cultural heritage of XA City.

Although not many people come here to travel, there are still some occasionally.

The village can completely protect the filming location of "Walk and See" and make it a part of the local attractions.

Black Six and Black Seven can be visited by people and provide riding services.

As long as the donkey is trained, you can definitely make more money than selling meat.

It is totally possible to sell your art without selling your body.
