To save the music festival, winning the championship is not too much.

The person coming is Yu Wanqing.

Yu Erbing came to visit Cui Mingzheng.

Xu Xuan couldn't help but roll his eyes. She must be looking for an opportunity to ease the relationship with Xu Xuan.

The first scene is when Yao Xiangchen leaves school and meets Little Hachigong at the train station.

The professor loves dogs, but the professor's wife hates furry animals.

So the professor left the dog somewhere on the train.

However, because it is a Chinese pastoral dog, also commonly known as a native dog, no one will want it.

It was raining lightly, and the dog kept following the professor's feet.

In fact, this time is still very good for shooting.

Because he is a puppy, it is very instinctive to follow humans.

The hard part is waiting for the dog to grow up and take photos.

So this shot is very easy to shoot.

Yu Wanqing stood in front of the camera and watched Xu Xuan direct the crew to shoot.

When the special show started, Yu Wanqing couldn't help but ask: "The biggest focus of making animal movies is actually the emotional interaction between humans and animals, right?"

Xu Xuan nodded in agreement. This is the core of animal movies.

Yu Wanqing added: "I have watched all Yan Qing's films, and when he shoots animals, he often focuses on the animals' thoughts, which is very heartwarming."

Xu Xuanzai knew what she meant.

Paying attention to the thoughts and psychological activities of animals can allow moviegoers to feel the director's intentions.

Xu Xuan didn't say anything more and continued filming the movie.

Yu Wanqing didn't say much. She just chatted with Xu Xuan for a few words and then left. She was not just here to visit the class.

The next plot is very smooth.

The professor's wife, the character played by Hao Fei, became angry when she saw Yao Xiangchen bringing the dog home.

The professor had no choice but to discuss with his wife and send the dog away tomorrow.

But no one really wants this dog.

There is a logical problem here.

If Xu Xuan used a famous dog like Labrador, it would be impossible for no one to want such a pet dog in the 1960s and 1970s, so it would be a bit far-fetched to pick up a puppy at the train station.

But if it is set as a Chinese pastoral dog, it is just like the Akita dog in the original work.

There are many local dogs and they are worthless, so they are abandoned by people, and no one wants them at the train station.

The plot continues until Hachiko grows up, and then it becomes difficult to film.

After all, humans and dogs need to interact, communicate, and play.

Many times Xu Xuan couldn't laugh or cry.

Because you want the dog to play with Yao Xiangchen, and then Xiaoqi will become intimate with Yao Xiangchen, and there will be many mistakes in licking his face.

Xiao Qi's owner is sometimes quite helpless, because this dog is a Chinese pastoral dog after all, and he is not familiar enough with Yao Xiangchen, which leads to improper command many times.

Xu Xuan was not in a hurry, but asked Yao Xiangchen to stay with the dog these days, including when sleeping.

On the third day, Yao Xiangchen finished his work.

This is an animal movie after all, and the whole movie starts from here, transforming from warmth to hair.

Another problem arises here.

Xiaoqi is very lively, so it is very difficult for her to perform the kind of heartbreak and despair.

When Xiaoqi squats at the exit of the train station, waiting for his owner, at a certain moment he will run away lively, and then wag his tail crazily.

This is very difficult.

It was impossible for Xu Xuan to reprimand Xiao Qi. Xiao Qi's master would occasionally scold him loudly, and then Xiao Qi would be honest for a while.

In short, starting from the third day, Xu Xuan was very anxious.

It was difficult to control the emotions of the little animals, which made the photographer and other members of the crew laugh and cry.

"This can't continue like this." Chen Qige said at noon.

Xu Xuan asked: "Do you have a good idea?"

Dogs are not humans and cannot accurately recognize commands.

Even if a dog can obey commands, it is limited to physical movements.

How do you ask it to make facial expressions?

But in fact, the emotions of animals are deduced by their eyes.

This can be compensated for later with special effects.

The problem is that this little Qi is not honest. He often goes on strike after being patted, wagging his tail and being cheerful.

Chen Qige said: "Do you want to be hungry for a day and then shoot tomorrow?"

Xu Xuan frowned, isn't this animal cruelty?

Not to mention whether Xu Xuan allowed it or not, if anyone found out, it would be another turmoil.

At this time, you can understand the famous saying in the director world: only children and animals are the most difficult to shoot!

Xu Xuan picked up the phone and called Hu Xiaotian at 1024 and asked: "How long does it take to make a dog model? If you don't take a close-up, you can't tell it's a model."

Hu Xiaotian was stunned for a moment: "There are ready-made models. If you have photos, you can make them in a few hours. As for authenticity, you don't have to worry about the authenticity. As long as you don't take close-ups, it's impossible to tell because the hair is all real."

Xu Xuan asked Hu Xiaotian to make the model.

Three hours later, in the afternoon, after the model was delivered, everyone gathered around to watch it.

Not to mention, it is really what Hu Xiaotian said.

As long as you don't slap your face and take a close-up, you can't tell whether it's a real dog or a fake dog from a distance.

Even Xiao Qi in the crew was stunned, circling around the model and occasionally screaming.

Once this problem was solved, the shooting progress sped up.

On the fourth day, I started putting makeup on the dog.

Because it squats at the train station all year round, its hair is a little dirty, and it has to be photographed all year round, especially in winter.

There are many kind-hearted people around the train station who will give it food, and then it will pass day by day.

Hao Fei took Xiao Yuer and Cui Mingzheng to finally find Hagong, and then took Hagong home.

Unexpectedly, Hachiko disappeared again the next day, and he returned to the train station, waiting for his owner.

In fact, when filming reached this point, there were already a lot of cheerful voices missing from the crew.

Although everyone does not have a complete script, everyone understands that this dog will always wait for its owner to come back at the train station. It does not know that its owner has passed away, and it will wait until its life comes to an end.

On the fifth day, filming continued.

Waiting until the eighth day, when they were shooting the last set of shots, Xiao Yuer and Hao Fei still couldn't help but have red circles under their eyes.

Hachiko is very old and has reached the limit of a dog's lifespan.

The hair all over its body became dirty and messy, and its eyes were hollow. For this reason, Xu Xuan specifically asked Xiao Qi's owner to leave the set for a day, which made Xiao Qi's mood very low.

Finally, on the eighth night, Xu Xuan stood up and looked at the few actors and crew members.

He took a deep breath and said, "The production of "Hachiko" is finished!"

The crowd applauded slowly, but there was no cheering.

In fact, many people don’t understand dogs.

Or maybe it’s just an understanding on paper.

I really spent a week with a dog and witnessed it grow from puppy to adult, from adulthood to old age, and from old age to death.

This dog is in the same age group almost every day, which is also quite touching for the crew members.

The wrapping party will be held tomorrow, and everyone agreed that after editing, they want to see the first version.

Then the next morning, after the media reported that Xu Xuan's movie was completed.

Yan Qing criticized Xu Xuan on Weibo.

the reason is simple!

He knew animal movies very well, so he was very angry at Xu Xuan's perfunctory attitude.

I think the animal movie Xu Xuan shot in one week is film and television garbage!
