I have to say that the dog actors trained by Zhao Qingyan are indeed very smart.
This made the filming of Li Yi's "The Story of Hachiko the Loyal Dog" very smooth.
But sometimes, dogs are dogs after all, and no matter how smart they are, it is difficult to truly fully understand some things.
For example, fast and slow!
There is a scene where Xiaoba has just entered the professor's house, and when the professor and his wife are making out, Xiaoba licks the soles of the heroine's feet.
The filming of this scene was extremely difficult!
In this scene, Xiaoba has to go up the stairs from downstairs, and then lick the soles of the heroine Wen Qing's feet.
It sounds like this scene is very simple. In fact, the little black bean who was trained to know how to act easily did it, climbing the stairs from downstairs to upstairs.
For the well-trained little black bean, this is really not difficult, but because of the good training, the first time the little black bean went upstairs, something went wrong.
For this scene, Li Yi requested that the color be adjusted to gray and white, because the world in the eyes of a dog is this color, and then the angle of the dog looking at the stairs was shot from an upward angle to increase the audience's sense of immersion.<
/p>
In fact, in general, the purpose of this scene is to show the world it sees through the dog's vision.
Therefore, the most important thing in this scene is to be natural!
Why did Xiaoba run upstairs? Because he wanted to play with his owners. He might even want to please the mistress who didn't want to see him, so he followed the scent of his and her masters. p>
Well, this scene can’t be done too fast or too slow. It needs a process, a process in which the dog naturally follows the smell and goes upstairs!
"The Eighteenth Scene of "The Story of Hachiko", the third shot, the first time, ACCTION!" Mr. Guo Danian's voice was still extremely loud. After the recording was over, he left the photo area!
The little black bean appeared at the top of the stairs, and then climbed up the stairs with great vigor.
"Ka! Xiaoba is running too fast!" Li Yi shouted stop immediately!
"Dog trainer, this section can't be too fast, let it go slower!" Li Yi looked at the trainer sent by the Pet Shop to manage and guide the two dogs in acting.
"Okay, Director Li!" The dog trainer walked up to Little Heidou, reached out and touched Little Heidou's head, then pointed at the stairs, stretched out his hand and made a dog crawling motion. His movements were very slow. After finishing the action, the dog trainer pointed to the stairs again, then grabbed the two front feet of the little black bean and made a climbing movement.
"Director Li, it should be fine. How about trying again?" The dog training master then said.
"Okay, try again!" Li Yi nodded.
""The Story of Hachiko", scene 18, third shot, second time, ACCTION!"
Filming started again, and this time, the speed of Little Black Bean really slowed down.
However, Li Yi frowned, because the camera showed a gray and white world, and the camera followed the little black bean.
The first time before, it was too fast, but this second time, it was too slow!
This scene was either too fast or too slow, and the dog trainer was helpless.
"Director Li, we can only let it climb up, fast or slow, but it is impossible for it to understand how fast and how slow we need. How about I try again and take it to climb again?
"The dog trainer said helplessly.
"It's okay to give it a try!" Li Yi nodded.
However, the result still did not satisfy Li Yi. This time, the speed seemed to be almost the same, but Li Yi still felt that it was not realistic enough and the acting was very heavy.
"Ten minutes of rest!" Li Yi had to shout to stop filming.
After climbing several times in a row, Little Black Bean was so tired that he stuck out his tongue. If he continued like this, he would probably get twice the result with half the effort!
"Teacher Liang, Aunt Qing, come here, let's discuss it!" Li Yi called Liang Dong and Wen Qing over.
Let’s brainstorm!
"Come here and take a look. I want to show this scene through Xiaoba's vision, but the result is either too fast or too slow. The speed after that is about the same, but I always feel that the traces are too heavy. You also see
Look, help me think about it, where is the problem?" Li Yi pointed at the picture taken previously on the monitor and said.
Wen Qing and Liang Dong both came to the monitor and started watching.
"Isn't it natural enough?" Wen Qing said suddenly.
"Not natural enough? Please tell me more specifically." Li Yi's eyes lit up, as if he had caught something, but he couldn't tell what it was for a while.
"I see that you deliberately used the two tones of gray and white. What you want to show is Xiaoba's world, so what you need should be this process, the process of Xiaoba going upstairs, right?" Wen Qing thought for a while and asked. Li Yi nodded and said: "Yes, that's right, I really want to show this process."
"That's right. Little Black Bean is a dog after all. It has been trained. Although it is very smart, it is only trained to know what kind of results it wants to achieve, such as letting it climb from here to upstairs.
, what it knows is to climb upstairs, not the process. So, you will feel that it is not natural enough, right?" Wen Qing asked.
"So, no matter whether it is fast or slow, the world shown is not realistic enough. Yes, that's it." Li Yi finally discovered the problem.
To put it simply, Xiaoba goes up the stairs. This process is what Li Yi wants the audience to see. It may be fast, it may be slow, or it may pause in the middle, but these cannot be the actions that are required, but
It moves naturally.
It's like dancing. A person is in a DISCO, twisting aimlessly to the music, and in a dance studio, dancing according to the teacher's routine. They are two completely different feelings.
"Master Xu, come here!" Li Yi called the person over.
"Director Li!" The dog trainer's name was Xu Jun, and he walked up to Li Yi.
"If I don't give instructions, I want Little Black Bean to go upstairs and lick the soles of the heroine's feet. Is there any way to make Little Black Bean do it?" Li Yi asked.
Xu Jun suddenly fell into thinking.
After all, no one has made such a request in the past.
He also scratched his head a little.
"By the way, how did you train it to understand your requirements?" Li Yi saw that Xu Jun couldn't explain the reason for a long time, so he had an idea and asked.
"Well, when we first started, we had to let it run from one place to another where we designated it. We had to put its favorite canned meat in the designated place. And then..."
Xu Jun said.
However, he was interrupted by Li Yi before he finished speaking.
"Canned meat! Did you bring your favorite canned meat?" Li Yi asked.
"Ah? Bring it, bring it." Xu Jun was stunned for a moment but nodded.
"So if we open the can of meat and put it upstairs, will it smell the smell and go upstairs by itself?" Li Yi asked.
"I understand what Director Li means. Why didn't I think of it? In fact, if we want to let it smell the smell and go upstairs, and lick the soles of the heroine's feet, we just need to take the opened meat can and walk up the stairs.
Then apply a little meat sauce from the canned meat to the soles of the heroine's feet. Dogs are most sensitive to smells, and it is their favorite canned meat. There should be a high probability that it will follow where we walk.
, the smell of the canned meat left behind went upstairs, and then found the source of the smell, which is the soles of the heroine's feet. As for whether it will lick it, I can't say." After Xu Jun suddenly realized this, he gave this
Solution.
