Two weeks later, the bank review was over and the payment was approved. Duan Jiaze immediately took over the five pairs of snow rabbits and a pair of civets that had already been negotiated. Although they are second-class protected animals, the introduction fees are not very expensive.
The snow rabbit is a bit like the arctic fox. It is the only hare that can change color. Its fur is dark in summer and white in winter. It lives in the ice and snow, so it is easy to hide. They are all commercial rabbits, not counting the transportation fee, the total cost is 8,000 yuan.
Considering artificial problems, Duan Jiaze temporarily put them in the canine exhibition hall. Their cages are the same as those with Su, and can be artificially adjusted. And the gravel is also white, simulating the environment of ice and snow.
As for the little civets, Duan Jiaze bought them from a breeder. They were only five months old. They cost about 3,000 yuan for a pair, and they didn't choose particularly good ones on purpose.
Little civets have scent glands on their bodies and can produce scent all year round. This kind of scent can be sold for more than 3,000 yuan per gram, so not only places like zoos, but also some farms are raised to produce scent and sell it.
The little civets were placed in the Feline Animals Pavilion. They still look similar to cats, but they are rougher and slightly larger. Their fur is mainly brownish-yellow with stripes.
Both the snow rabbit and the little civet are timid animals. When they got out of the car, Duan Jiaze saw that they were all huddled in a corner of the cage, cuddling up with their own kind.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid." Duan Jiaze couldn't help a few words of comfort, because he arrived at night, Duan Jiaze also said to Yousu, "You come to persuade me."
Yousu showed a lovely smile: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid."
Snow Rabbit pissed in fright.
I can understand it, but I am even more afraid.
Duan Jiaze was speechless, and put them into their cages. There was a place for it to hide in the little civet's cage, and the two little civets jumped in immediately.
The snow rabbits were all huddled together, trembling.
Su Youyou said: "Although the rabbit you bought is not a breeding rabbit, but the rabbit grows fast and reproduces very fast. In a few years, there will be many of them, and the zoo will definitely not be able to keep them..."
Duan Jiaze and Yousu said in unison at this time:
"Just sell it elsewhere!"
"Just give it to me!"
Duan Jiaze: "..."
Yousu: "..."
Yousu quibbled: "It's not just me, Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing also like to eat rabbits, why don't you feed them to us?"
"Because it's unnecessary for you. You have allocated feed, so why do you eat rabbits?" Duan Jiaze resolutely refused, "You are not allowed to eat your colleagues."
You Su resentfully said, "Why bother..."
…
Duan Jiaze had just introduced two kinds of animals. The next day, the people from the protection station called him again.
"We rescued two red pandas. Because they are permanently disabled, they are not suitable for release into the forest, so we hope that Lingyuan will take them over."
Duan Jiaze heard the word "Panda", and suddenly lost his mind, "Panda! Panda! Give it to us?!"
The person at the protection station said, "Director Duan, calm down, it's a little panda!"
Duan Jiaze: "That's right! The little panda! It's still small!"
The person at the protection station: "..."
half a day later.
Duan Jiaze: "It's crispy noodles..."
When he heard "Little Panda", he was excited for a moment, and he didn't think about logic. Then he realized that people are called "Little Panda", and there are also red pandas, which are two different animals from giant pandas. Moreover, it looks exactly like a raccoon...
The person at the protection station explained: "It belongs to the genus Panda in the raccoon family, but it is not a raccoon. You can see that its face is rounder and its fur is also orange."
Is there a difference? When he said this, Duan Jiaze felt that it was a little raccoon with Ah Bao color filter added.
Of course, these two are still very cute.
After comparing the pictures of raccoons found on the Internet, Duan Jiaze could tell the difference. He personally thinks the red panda is cuter, with warm-toned hair and a round face. There are two drop-shaped white hairs on the eyebrows, which is similar to Alaska. canine.
Fortunately, Duan Jiaze is not a breeder, otherwise the people in the protection station will doubt their breeding qualifications.
Lingyuan is indeed a bunch of half-baked people at the moment. After his popular science, Duan Jiaze also asked Xiao Su to make a preview when he went back, introducing the new snow rabbit, little civet and red panda, and especially explained the origin of the little panda.
The red panda is also a second-class protected animal. This time, two of them are free. Although Duan Jiaze has just applied for a loan, Duan Jiaze, who is used to being poor, is very happy, in order to save a lot of money.
In addition to introducing animals one after another, Duan Jiaze also asked the companies he worked with before to help him recruit more employees, and this time, he deliberately selected employees with relevant experience or graduates from relevant majors.

In another two weeks, the advertising crew will also settle in Lingyuan.
Duan Jiaze didn't want to close the park for shooting, and he didn't need many shots for the panorama, so he took pictures in different pavilions and only closed one pavilion at a time.
Since the animals appearing in the script, from Xiong Siqian to Lu Ya, are very ferocious, it is actually impossible for them to appear in front of the camera at the same time as the beautiful short. Instead, they will be filmed separately and finally synthesized together by computer. Coupled with post-editing, a seamless commercial is formed.
There will be a total of six kinds of animals in the Lingyuan, namely arctic fox, monkey, black bear, lion, blizzard python, green tree python and golden crow.
The order in which they appeared was arctic fox, monkey, boa constrictor, lion, and black bear. One was bigger and fiercer than the other. This was also to show that the one who appeared last, although small in size, had the strongest aura.
For the first filming, the crew chose the monkey. They thought the monkey was smarter and could have a good start. It was a good sign that the filming would be completed smoothly.
First, I took pictures of monkeys, and it passed quickly. In the pit-like cage, most of the monkeys were temporarily moved, leaving only six for filming. Under Duan Jiaze's instructions, they performed very well.
After Xu Chenggong took all the monkeys away, it was the turn of the protagonist of the ad, the American shorthair cat named "Banban".
Its owner has been holding it all the time, probably because there are ferocious animals in the zoo, Banban is very disturbed when he comes in, and has been trembling in the owner's arms. At this moment, the owner coaxed it for a long time and put it in front of the camera.
"Meow—"
As soon as Banban was put down, she jumped up again, let out a shrill cry, and slipped into the arms of her master.
The owner is very helpless, which is not Banban's usual performance. It is not the kind of cat that is afraid to go out. "Maybe the smell here has affected it. Can you change the place, anyway, you have to do computer synthesis."
Originally, I wanted to shoot in real scene, but after seeing it this way, there was really no way, so I had to move the whole team together, and went to a vacant exhibition hall to shoot the part of the cat.
On the way, Spotted’s owner fed it a few pieces of cat food, which is exactly the product that this advertisement will show, the chicken flavor naturally becomes cat food.
Banban took a bite, and suddenly picked it out of her arms.
The owner was startled and hurried to catch up.
Banban jumped up to the monkeys, salivating at the eating monkeys through the cage, the hunger and thirst in his eyes was evident.
Faced with its covetousness, those monkeys also grinned and made threatening sounds. But Scabbers was unmoved, insisting on staring at their food.
When the director saw this scene, he was thoughtful, and asked the photographer to take the camera to take a shot. He thought that Ban Ban was not enthusiastic enough when facing the cat food, but this look was very convincing when he took pictures and edited it.
Banban didn't move while they were filming, until the scene was finished, the owner came to pull it, and it let out a miserable cry.
Xu Jinghui was on the side, and said with a smile to Duan Jiaze who was watching: "It seems that this cat food is not as attractive to cats as the feed in your zoo."
Duan Jiaze: "...haha, yes."
It would be weird if it wasn't attractive, it's not that this cat food is bad, if it is possible, no matter which cat it is, it will choose the food of Lingyuan.
Not to mention cats, Duan Jiaze himself often has the idea of being greedy for food...
The master forcibly took Ban Ban away, and after entering the exhibition hall, things went a bit smoother, Ban Ban stopped jumping up.
But the bad thing is that the director found that it will always only have one emotion of fear... No matter how you guide it, it can't show the "brave" side, so the director can only try to find angles and pose.
However, this is not a problem. It cannot be handled in this way for all shots. Facing the animals in front, the protagonist cats dodge dexterously, and sometimes show fear. But in the end, when the cat confronts the big boss, it must show its bravery positively.
The director was troubled and said: "Let it rest for a while, and we will shoot its part later. Why is it so safe here, but it still looks cowardly."
Duan Jiaze also felt a little strange, but he had already greeted everyone, and curbed his evil spirit.
He really believed that Lu Ya would keep his word, and with Lu Ya's good face, it was absolutely impossible for him to break his word. As for other animals, it would not be so far away to have such a big impact...
Or, is the cat's mental quality bad
The more the director thought about it, the more depressed he was. It cost a lot of money to invite the cat here, and it was also appointed by the advertiser. He had filmed many commercials before, and it was said that the performance was very good, but he didn't expect to be so cowardly this time.
Putting Banban's scenes aside for now, the director went to film the animals in the spirit enclosure.
There is no harm without comparison. Only by comparing can we know how good the animals in the spirit are. The director has never filmed animals so smoothly in his life, one can be said to be luck, two or three... that is the strength of the director!
The young director does not need the assistance of other breeders at all. He is the one who directs and guides the animals every time, including the astonishingly large black bear, which he dares to lead.
With him present, seeing that the black bear is better than a dog under his command, these staff members who were a little nervous at first felt relieved. Sure enough, there are specialties in the art industry, but other people's specialties are different.
Every time he raised his hand and said a word, the animals would follow his command. Even if he had communicated with him beforehand and conducted special training, it would be remarkable.
Under such smooth circumstances, it took only two days to finish filming all the other animal scenes and some empty shots, and it was still the director's pursuit of excellence.
Regarding the performance of some animals, the director didn't know whether he was overthinking it or whether they really had actor-level acting skills.
After two days of recuperation, Ban Ban, the protagonist, still hasn't adjusted well.
The strange thing is that it escaped from the restraint of its owner, and was very energetic when it was scurrying around in the zoo to covet other people's feed, but when it was time to shoot and do some action, it became wilted.
The camera chased it and took a few usable shots in the garden, but the close-up shots were really helpless.
Even if the shooting location is transferred to the hotel, it is the same.
The director was helpless, all the other shots were finished, and he was stuck here for a while. The film crew discussed for a long time, and finally decided to modify the script a little.
They thought that they could reshoot the boss battle and stop forcing Ban Ban to resist the big devil heroically. Just let it be, let Ban Ban face the big devil, afraid, trembling, lying on the ground, pitiful... Finally, the twists and turns, the breeder came and took the big devil away.
Therefore, Ban Ban can still happily go home with the cat food in his arms.
After discussion, they also felt that although this is not so dramatic, it is more in line with the setting. Originally, it was a bit unrealistic for a cat to defeat a bird of prey that could even kill a human, but the setting where the owner took the big devil away fits the reality even more.
In the popular video on the Internet, it was Duan Jiaze's order that made Lu Ya fly out to attack people. Moreover, the feeding routine released by the official blog of Lingyuan has always been this way of getting along with each other. Lu Yaniao is cruel and cruel, but he listens to his master very well.
The big devil who flaunts his power, met his master for a second, and was unwilling to look at the cat food before leaving, which is quite funny. It's different from the original plot where the cat scratched at it angrily, bared its teeth and exploded its fur to scare the devil away, but the effect is also very good.
The emergency plan was passed collectively, and the film crew came to discuss with Duan Jiaze.
One problem is to retake Lu Ya's scenes, and the other is that Duan Jiaze may also be required to appear in the scene.
Duan Jiaze had no problem with changing the plot, but he felt a little embarrassed to let him appear on the scene, which was different from news interviews.
"It doesn't matter, you don't need to show your face. Originally, we only needed a concept of 'breeder'. There are many film and television works, which also have this kind of design of animal owners not showing their heads." The director said.
That's true. Anyway, if you have watched the online video, you will naturally understand the connection, and if you haven't watched it, it will not affect your understanding.
Duan Jiaze breathed a sigh of relief, "That's no problem, I can cooperate."
…
Duan Jiaze went to inform, and the next day another exhibition hall was closed to reshoot the part of Lu Ya.
He also told everyone about the revised plot, and said with emotion: "The cat's psychological quality may not be very good. He was depressed and excited at the same time. The director always couldn't shoot it when it entered the state, so he simply changed the plot. It's cheaper Daojun."
A hint of cunning flashed in Yousu's eyes, he chuckled and said, "Master Dao doesn't necessarily think so."
"Where is it cheaper?" As Su said, Lu Ya said in disbelief, "Being defeated by a cat and being carried away by you are both embarrassing!"
Duan Jiaze: "..."
He was speechless...
For Lu Ya, it's probably the same as anyone who hasn't shot in the sun, and it doesn't matter if it's a human or a cat.
Putting his hand on his forehead, Lu Ya continued to criticize Duan Jiaze with some pain: "It might be even more embarrassing to be taken away by you."
Duan Jiaze:?
Duan Jiaze patted Lu Ya's shoulder and imitated his tone: "Just get used to it."
Lu Ya: "..."
—
The next day, Lu Ya's shots were shot again, this time to strengthen the sense of oppression he brought to people, so as to form a contrast with the later plot.
The director also asked Duan Jiaze to direct Lu Ya to perform a show of eating, and the way it eats meat is particularly ferocious.
After filming Lu Ya flaunting his might and threatening the small animals, it was time for Duan Jiaze to appear. He didn't even need to change his clothes. He walked over and pinched Lu Ya's raised wings, and then held them up.
So, Lu Ya, who was still "looking fiercely", immediately sat obediently in Duan Jiaze's hand, his eyes were still staring at the direction of the cat food, but was led further and further away by the owner...
One pass.
The director applauded, "Thank you Director Duan for your cooperation, this time I really troubled you, and you have to guide us to the animals and appear on camera."
He shook hands with Duan Jiaze who came over, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I've applied for your salary."
"There's still wages?" Duan Jiaze said with a smile as he landed on the ground, "Then I'm overjoyed."
"Of course." The director looked at Lu Ya, who was close at hand, and felt that the eyes of the raptor were not very happy, so he couldn't help but take a few steps back. Seeing Duan Jiaze looking at him in surprise, his old face blushed, feeling a little embarrassed, and said embarrassingly, "I have studied the surveillance video of it pecking people many times, and I was a little scared when I got close to it just now..."
I also took a shot of Lu Ya just now, and it looked okay on the monitor, but this face-to-face is too real and terrifying.
Duan Jiaze knew at a glance that he was intimidated by Lu Ya's eyes, and hugged Lu Ya, "It's okay, it's very obedient, and it won't hurt anyone without instructions."
The director said with emotion: "Your bird is indeed well-raised. The laws and regulations prohibit it. To be honest, I am usually at home, and my wife is not obedient to it..."
Duan Jiaze: "...??"
The director said sincerely: "Can I ask how you usually tame them? I have seen many pet birds, and they are not as worry-free as you. Do you have any tips?"
Duan Jiaze thought for a while, and while stroking Lu Ya's hair like a dog's head, he whispered: "There is no trick, just praise him, keep praising him, from the inside out."
The director laughed dumbfounded, "Then you are quite a narcissistic bird!"
Lu Ya: "..."
