In animal movies, the most difficult thing is how to control the animals so that they can perform the desired positions, movements, and expressions.
"A Dog's Purpose" is actually more troublesome than "The Story of Hachiko" to some extent.
Because Hachi in "The Story of Hachiko" does not have any special profession, nor does he need to show particularly impressive skills for his mission.
But "A Dog's Purpose" is a super dog.
However, this is not a problem at all for big black beans and small black beans.
In fact, even though "A Dog's Purpose" is a co-production movie, Li Yi seems to be very famous in China.
But in Hollywood, this is still just a small, medium- to low-cost production.
Of course, this is not a complicated film in itself, it is just a commercial film.
For Li Yi, filming this was much easier than filming "I'm Not the God of Medicine".
Therefore, although the crew is a mixed combination of behind-the-scenes people from China and Hollywood, the atmosphere is very good.
This also has a lot to do with director Li Yi. First of all, Li Yi is not only a director, but also a producer. It can be said that he has the greatest authority over the crew.
Secondly, for these behind-the-scenes personnel from China, most of them are relatively humble and cherish this opportunity.
In comparison, Hollywood's behind-the-scenes workers still have a lot to learn.
After all, even if they don't learn anything, having such work experience is a big gain. After returning to China, they are also people who have worked with Hollywood crews!
And because Li Yi is Chinese and the boss of the entire crew, those in the Hollywood crew will not bully the people Li Yi brings.
Generally speaking, the atmosphere on the set is relatively relaxed, and Li Yi actually likes the work system here.
how to say?
If you can avoid working overtime, who would really like to work overtime?
And many people have misunderstood. Do they really think that Hollywood crews won’t work overtime if they don’t want to work overtime?
In fact, everyone just doesn't like to work overtime, but if he, the director, requests it, no one will object.
The atmosphere on the set was relaxed and harmonious, and filming was naturally relatively smooth.
Of course, this is also because the movie itself does not require various acting skills like those literary movies or other feature films. Basically, Li Yi is not too high-minded about the actors in the movie, except for dogs!
In the amusement park, Hannah, played by Kelly Logan, is posing and shooting an airsoft gun in a fixed camera position.
She is a classmate of Ethan Lee, the male protagonist played by Li Tongzhou. Li Tongzhou has a crush on her, but he has never dared to take the first step, or even have the courage to take the initiative to talk to her.
Of course, if he was that bold, there would be no chance for the dog to show off as a matchmaker.
The little black bean is no longer the little one it used to be. Now the little black bean has grown up. It crawled under Kelly Logan's skirt.
To be honest, sometimes people are really inferior to dogs. You see, dogs can get under skirts casually. If you were a human, you would probably get your head pinched in minutes, but dogs are different.
"Wow!" Kelly Logan was shocked.
"Sorry, sorry. It was the dog just now, not me. I wouldn't do it." Li Tongzhou stepped forward quickly and apologized continuously.
"Maybe you should teach your dog some manners." Kelly Logan looked at him and said.
"I'm trying, he, he's not very bright."
Li Tongzhou and Kelly Logan looked at each other...
"Ka! Kelly, you did a good job, but don't be so hot in that last look. If you are interested in Tongzhou, you can make an appointment in private. OK, you just have a good impression of each other, so restrain yourself!"
"Tongzhou, why are you hiding? What I want is the spark of love, understand? There must be a show in your eyes, show off your yellow-haired state, and do it all over again!"
"Woof, woof!" At this time, Little Black Bean ran over and wagged his tail at Li Yizhi.
Li Yi helplessly reached out and patted its head and said: "Okay, Little Black Bean's performance is the best! Okay? What a clever guy!"
That's right, I don't know where the little black bean learned it from. Every time after taking a photo, it looks like it's begging for praise. If you don't praise it, it will run over and roll around like a child.
But Little Black Bean is definitely a big treasure on the set, and everyone loves him.
In fact, the plot of a dog acting as a wingman is not new. On the contrary, it is quite old-fashioned. However, some things cannot be resisted. No matter how old-fashioned, the audience will never tire of it.
Hmm, let’s hit the key points on the blackboard. Many of us tend to ignore the powerful plug-in auxiliary of dogs!
So when you are afraid to strike up a conversation with the boy or girl you like, it is recommended to get a dog. It will definitely make it easier for you to strike up a conversation with the opposite sex and gain favor.
Shooting resumes!
This time it will be much better than before.
Li Yi did not continue to ask them to do whatever they wanted.
"Okay, this is the way to go, ok, let's take action and transfer to the river. In the same boat, Kelly, hurry up and change into your swimsuits. Carlos, are you ready on the other side of the river?" Li Yi waved his hand and shouted.
Carlos made an OK gesture and said: "It's OK, you can shoot at any time!"
At this time, Li Yi's phone rang, it was a call from China.
"Zhang Changnian? Leave him alone, he is nothing without Li Zhanshan!"
"One thing he said is right. Director Li Zhanshan does have a lot for me to learn!"
"The premiere? Go, why don't you go? I'm giving director Li Zhanshan face."
"Forget it, the schedule is on the same day. Let's stick to the original plan and premiere on June 30."
"Media? The media can say whatever they like. I am indeed not as good as Director Li Zhanshan. What does that matter? That's it. I'm filming. You can take care of other things. Just ask Chen Wen and them to cooperate with the publicity. I'll be there in advance Go back in a week.”
Li Yi hung up the phone.
He shook his head, he was used to it as there were many famous people.
In fact, why do reporters take offense? Why did Zhang Changnian say that?
It's not because he is currently popular, but Li Yi still respects director Li Zhanshan.
After all, director Li Zhanshan can indeed be said to be the most worthy of the name among the four famous directors in Li Yi's opinion.
Moreover, director Li Zhanshan is actually a very low-key person. He rarely speaks ill of others. He is definitely a film master with both virtue and art.
The only bad thing is that he and Zhang Changnian have been partners for many years, and Zhang Changnian's mouth is very capable of inciting hatred for him.
The release date of "I'm Not the God of Medicine" has actually been set for a long time, but it has never been announced. It is the beginning of the summer season.
