Three days later, Zhang Xiuming formally agreed to take on "Hachiko: A Dog's Story".
After the male lead was decided, Lin Yuan found Lao Zhou and told him that he was going to film "Hachiko: A Dog's Story".
"Is there a new script?"
Old Zhou was shocked by Lin Yuan's creative speed.
Lin Yuan just wrote "Life of Pi" not long ago.
As it turned out, the movie was just being prepared, and Lin Yuan actually came up with a new script.
He looked at the script.
The script is quite short, telling the story of a man and a dog.
Lao Zhou's ability to associate words with words is not very strong. After reading the script, he just felt moved but did not cry.
"It's good, we can take pictures."
After thinking for a while, Lao Zhou said, "The company will make a budget for you later."
After all, it is a script that can invite Zhang Xiuming.
As the winner of the Star Awards, Zhang Xiuming is one of the top few artists.
This kind of artist is already qualified to communicate with the company.
If Zhang Xiuming himself is unwilling, it will be difficult for the company to persuade Zhang Xiuming to film a certain movie.
The fact that Zhang Xiuming was willing to star in "Hachiko: A Dog's Story" only shows that he really liked the script.
Old Zhou was well-informed and knew that Long Yang, a famous screenwriter in the industry, wanted to invite Zhang Xiuming to film a movie.
Originally this plan could have been accomplished, but after the release of "Hachiko: A Dog's Story", I guess Zhang Xiuming changed his mind.
"Perhaps people who keep dogs will particularly like this kind of story."
Lao Zhou commented with a smile: "I have never raised a dog, so I don't quite understand that kind of emotion, but Zhang Xiuming seems to have raised a dog, and the script is quite touching. Will the director and producer be selected according to the cast of "The Tuner" this time?"
"Um."
Lin Yuan replied.
This movie is not difficult to shoot and Yi Chengsheng can do it.
Now we have a male lead.
Next up is Dog Number One.
There aren’t many dogs that can make movies these days.
If Lin Yuan asked the crew to find a suitable dog, the crew would definitely go to a pet training center that specializes in filming.
During the formal photo shoot, the dog's owner or trainer will be there to guide the dog.
This type of dog is generally quite valuable and has a very docile personality, making it relatively easy to photograph.
However, Lin Yuan has the potion of the best actor, so he is not afraid that the dog has no acting skills, so he chooses according to his own standards.
The method of finding a dog is also simple, just go to major pet centers in Suzhou to look for one.
The original movie used an Akita dog.
Lin Yuan, on the other hand, was not so particular. He felt that any breed would do, and whether the movie was touching or not had nothing to do with the breed of dog.
After searching for a few days, Lin Yuan met many cute dogs, but he still didn't have that feeling of certainty.
Lin Yuan felt that this feeling was quite important, so he continued to look for a few days patiently and asked some people around him where there were cute dogs.
When asked this question, many people thought that Lin Yuan wanted to raise a dog.
Sun Yaohuo directly made a PPT with various dog breeds and photos for Lin Yuan to choose from.
Whatever Lin Yuan likes, he can handle it.
In the end, Lin Yuan did not choose the dog in Sun Yaohuo’s PPT.
Because after learning that Lin Yuan was looking for a dog, his sister Lin Yao mysteriously recommended a stray dog living in the villa area to him...
"It's in the garden in front. I often see it. Its name is Nanji. I gave it that name because I encountered it in winter, just south of the community. It was very cold at the time, so I went home and got it a piece of clothing."
While Lin Yao was explaining, she skillfully led Lin Yuan to the side of the garden.
Apparently, she often came over to play with the dog.
Two minutes later, Lin Yuan saw the "Antarctic" that his sister mentioned.
Is this a dog that looks like a German Shepherd? It’s hard to say what the specific breed is, but it’s definitely a large dog.
It was walking with its front paws, but its two hind paws were dragging on the ground, as if it was paralyzed.
“Antarctica!”
Lin Yao's face changed: "What's wrong with your leg?"
Nan Ji made a humming sound? It seemed that it recognized Lin Yao.
Lin Yuan shook his head.
This dog looks good, but there is something wrong with its hind legs? It is suspected to be paralyzed and cannot participate in the filming of the movie.
"Eat some dog food."
Lin Yao walked forward with concern and poured the dog food she brought onto the clean cement platform.
What happened next? A scene that shocked both Lin Yuan and Lin Yao occurred.
The dog's hind legs were actually fine. It rushed to the dog food and started eating excitedly. It seemed to be extremely hungry.
"Were you pretending just now?"
Lin Yuan didn't expect that this dog was such a dramatic actor.
Lin Yao angrily said: "Nanji, how could you even lie to me!"
This girl's eyes just turned red.
I didn’t expect that this dog would pretend to be lame
Antarctic continues to eat dog food? His tail is wagging.
After eating, it lay on the ground, looking at Lin Yao eagerly.
Lin Yuan suddenly had an idea and looked at Nan Ji and said, "Do you think that if you pretend to be lame, someone will give you food?"
Antarctica whimpered twice.
Lin Yuan said: "Then come with me to film, and I'll treat you to egg yolks."
Nan Ji seemed to understand. He actually stood up on his hind legs. Then he put his front paws on the ground and circled around Lin Yuan.
"Brother, let's bring Antarctica home!"
Lin Yao was eager to try it. She had always had this urge, but her sister Lin Yao didn't like dogs, so she never dared to act.
If Lin Yuan was with her, she would dare to do it.
"That's fine."
Lin Yuan thought this dog was quite smart.
Of course, it’s mainly my sister who likes it.
When he and Lin Yao returned home, the dog followed them, seeming a little excited.
"Give him a bath tonight."
Lin Yao looked at the dirty dog and knew that her sister would not let the dog into the house, so it would be better to put it in the yard first.
Lin Yuan agreed.
Lin Yao gave Nanji a bath that night. The dog did not resist and seemed to enjoy it quite a lot.
When sister Lin Xuan got home from get off work, she was startled: "What are you doing?"
"My brother wants to get a dog."
Lin Yao explained the situation in a clear voice.
At this time, she was giving the dog a bath, and Lin Yuan was watching beside her.
"A dog?"
Lin Xuan looked at Lin Yuan, then at Lin Yao, and pouted, "It's up to you guys, just don't let it get close to me, I don't like dogs."
"OK."
Lin Yao spoke up, and became happier as she washed the dog.
Lin Xuan asked curiously, "Isn't it Lin Yuan who has a dog? Why are you the one bathing the dog?"
Lin Yao said: "I'm bored."
Lin Xuan: “…”
She walked in without saying anything more.
Lin Yuan said angrily: "Don't you want to keep a dog?"
Lin Yao comforted him, "Why should we care so much about brothers and sisters?"
Lin Yuan thought about it and felt that it made sense: "Then you should eat more vegetables tonight."
When eating at home, everyone has their own share of food.
Lin Yuan and Lin Yao both like to eat meat and don't eat vegetables.
There was no other way, so my mother forced them to eat a certain amount of vegetables every day.
"impossible."
Lin Yao said without hesitation.
Lin Yuan raised his voice: "I don't want to keep that dog anymore."
Lin Yao refused to give in: "Then I won't raise him."
Nan Ji suddenly barked twice.
Both the brother and sister understood.
Antarctica is saying, "I eat."
