Entertainment: God-level Director Starts with Animals

Of course, more people are still wondering: how to make a movie that is all about animals?

At present, there is no movie in the world like "The Lion King" without an actor, all of which are played by animals.

Just thinking of so many animals gathered together and directing them to film is enough to make the scalps of all directors in the world go numb!

Of course, this incident has aroused heated discussions among the major directors in the country.

Director Zhang Yimou: "Xiao Yiran is widely recognized as a very talented and talented director, and I also agree with this. But what I admire more is Director Xiao Yiran's bold innovation!

He is flamboyant, aggressive, dares to imagine and express, likes to be unique and unique, wants to show all his talents to people, and wants to focus everyone's attention!

From the time he chose to shoot an animal movie, director Xiao Yiran has embarked on an innovative path, which is much better than most domestic directors who only know how to follow the trend!

And director Xiao Yiran chose to shoot "The Lion King" this time, a movie full of animals and no actors, which is an innovation in innovation!Regardless of the final quality of the film, I am far inferior to Director Xiao Yiran's innovative spirit! "

Zhang Yimou has publicly praised Xiao Yiran many times, but this is the first time he has publicly admitted that he is not as good as Xiao Yiran.

Even if Zhang Yimou was just a polite remark, it was enough to show how optimistic he was about Xiao Yiran!

After the news spread, it naturally caused a big earthquake in the film circle immediately.

Director Guan Hu also commented on Weibo: "According to what I know about director Xiao Yiran, I know that he is definitely a director with a spirit of forging ahead. He never caters to the audience for the sake of box office, but wants desperately. Produce the ideal film in mind, he is a true pure film artist!

If not, director Xiao Yiran would never choose to create a streaming movie in a thankless way.I heard that director Xiao Yiran is going to shoot The Lion King this time, and it turns out to be a movie with all animals in it!

My first reaction when I heard the news was that it was impossible.As a director, I know very well how difficult it is to make such a film!

But thinking of the animal films such as "The Loyal Dog Hachikung", "Rise of the Planet of the Apes", "King Kong" made by director Xiao Yiran before, and of the animals in the movies that obediently cooperate with the acting, I changed my mind again - other directors may I can't make such a movie, but I think director Xiao Yiran can.I really want to see how the director Xiao Yiran filmed on the set! ".

Chapter 249 Sending Animals Again

Guan Hu's tone was also full of surprise.

As a professional director, when Guan Hu used to shoot film and television dramas, he sometimes let some animals go out of the country.

But even the simplest scene, such as trying to keep the animal standing there motionless, is not an easy task.

And if you want animals to cooperate with the shooting, the difficulty is unimaginable!

Guan Hu was filmed once before, and he was about to collapse because of these animals, and then swore that he would never shoot scenes with animals on camera again!

Guan Hu had seen several films such as "Hachiko of the Loyal Dog" shot by Xiao Yiran before, and he was very shocked at the time. How did Xiao Yiran's scene come out?Why do the animals in it honestly cooperate with him?

With Guan Hu's eyes, it can be seen of course that these scenes were not synthesized with special effects, but were actually shot in real scenes!

Now that I heard that Xiao Yiran is going to make a movie starring all animals, Guan Hu was shocked and very curious, and wanted to go to the studio to see how Xiao Yiran's animal movie was shot.

Director Liu Weiqiang also expressed his curiosity: "Director Xiao Yiran is the originator of animal-movie movies! Now animal-themed movies still belong to the minority among the minority, and it can even be said to be on the edge of the movie market.

However, director Xiao Yiran relied on this marginal theme to produce one after another sensational work around the world, which is indeed worth learning from all our directors.I was fortunate to have just filmed "Captain Xia Guo" with Director Xiao before, but unfortunately no animals left the country in the film.

I'm also very curious about Director Xiao's ability to control animals to make movies.I hope to have the opportunity in the future to participate in the animal films directed by Xiao. "

……

Xiao Yiran also noticed the information posted by these directors on Weibo, and he responded politely and politely.

"Dong dong!"

Just as Xiao Yiran was busy replying to the directors' Weibo messages, there was a sudden knock on the door outside his office.

"Come in."! "

Xiao Yiran didn't lift his head, and said casually while typing.

The office door was quickly pushed open, and Cheng Yuqi stepped in.

"Yuqi, what's the matter?"

Xiao Yiran asked Cheng Yuqi.

"Director Xiao, Mr. Cai Xueqing, the director of the zoo who has worked with you many times before, is here! He also brought more than a dozen zoo directors this time. He has something to talk to you about. Do you want to? see you?"

Cheng Yuqi asked.

"Chief Cai is here? Of course I want to see you!"

Hearing Cheng Yuqi's words, Xiao Yiran was overjoyed and quickly got up and said happily.

Xiao Yiran originally planned to go to Cai Xueqing to talk about renting the animals in their zoo, but Cai Xueqing took the initiative to come to the door, which was of course a surprise to Xiao Yiran.

Xiao Yiran walked out of the office and quickly walked into the reception room not far away.

At this time, there were more than ten people sitting in the reception room, including Cai Xueqing.

"President Cai, long time no see! Hello, hello!"

Xiao Yiran immediately stepped forward enthusiastically and shook hands with Cai Xueqing, Director Xiao.

"Hello Director Xiao, it's been a long time indeed!"

Cai Xueqing also shook hands with Xiao Yiran enthusiastically, and then pointed to the people around him and introduced him: "Director Xiao, let me introduce to you, these are the directors of major zoos in China. This is the director of the Red Star Zoo. Liu Changdong, this is Zhou Yujiao, director of Hongshan Zoo, this is Si Donghua, director of Jiujiang Zoo..."

Cai Xueqing introduced everyone in the guest room to Xiao Yiran.

Every time he introduced a person, Xiao Yiran enthusiastically stepped forward to shake hands with each other.

"Hello Director Xiao, I'm your fan! I've seen every movie of yours."

"Director Xiao, just tell me what animals you need to use for filming in the future. Our zoo will intercept them all for you for free!"

"Director Xiao, we have the largest number and variety of animals in our zoo. We have all the animals you need!"

The directors of these zoos are also very enthusiastic towards Xiao Yiran, and they are excited to sell the animals in their zoos to Xiao Yiran.

Xiao Yiran is very clear about the thoughts of these zoo directors.

Because I have cooperated with Xiao Yiran several times, now Dongdong and Xiaogang in Cai Xueqing Zoo have become national Internet celebrities. Every day, tourists come to the zoo to see Dongdong and Xiaogang, and their income has increased tenfold. more than!

The directors of other zoos are of course envious of what happened to Cai Xueqing Zoo, and of course they are very enthusiastic when they see Xiao Yiran now.

They just want Xiao Yiran to use their animals as the protagonists when they make a movie next time, so that their zoo will have an internet celebrity animal.

"President Cai, everyone is here today..."

After getting to know each other with everyone, Xiao Yiran directly asked Cai Xueqing about the other party's intention.

"... Director Xiao, in fact, we came here this time to find you to cooperate."

Cai Xueqing didn't hide it, and said straight to the point: "We already know that you are going to shoot the new movie "The Lion King" this time, so the directors of these zoos found me and wanted me to introduce their zoos to you. No matter what animal you need, Director Xiao, we can help you find it and make sure you are satisfied!"

"This is really a sleepy pillow!"

Xiao Yiran laughed and nodded to Cai Xueqing: "You should know, all the characters in the movie I'm going to shoot this time will be played by animals. The scale of the scenes in the movie is very large, and there are a lot of animals needed! Especially as the protagonist Not only do we need a large number of lions, but we also have high requirements on the height, weight, and shape of the lions, so I really need the help of the park directors this time!"

This time, the principal brought it to the door himself, and Xiao Yiran (Qian Nuozhao) would not be polite to them.

"Don't worry, Director Xiao! Our zoos are absolutely first-class in China. No matter what kind of animals you need, I can help you find them without any charge!"

Hearing Xiao Yiran's words, Cai Xueqing was overjoyed and patted his chest quickly to assure.

"That's right! Director Xiao, if you need animals, just say, as long as there are animals on the earth, we can help you find them!"

"Director Xiao, there are more than [-] lions in my zoo, all of them are very majestic, they will definitely satisfy you!"

"There are more than [-] lions in my zoo, and it's also very suitable for filming!"

"..."

The deans of other zoos also spoke out one after another, enthusiastically recommending to Xiao Yiran.

These principals looked at each other with a hint of gunpowder in their eyes, and they obviously regarded each other as a competitor.

Chapter 250 Picking the Image of Simba

Xiao Yiran really needs a lot of animals, but there is only one protagonist in the movie.

And among so many movies that Xiao Yiran has made, the only animals that really catch fire are the real protagonists in the movies.

Although the directors of these zoos came together, they were indeed competitors, just like the actors who came to audition.

"Well, I'll send the list of all the animals the crew needs to the principals later. There are animals on the list in the zoo, so you can prepare them first. I'll check them out in person in two days, and compare and choose the most suitable animals. Join the crew."

Xiao Yiran said to Cai Yuanqing and other principals.

"No problem! We are waiting for Director Xiao to arrive!"

"It's great that Director Xiao can come to our zoo in person, and our zoo warmly welcomes you!"

"We will prepare the animals we need and ask Director Xiao to check them out."

Including Cai Xueqing and others nodded, expressing their expectations for Xiao Yiran's arrival.

After the negotiation, the deans of these zoos all said their goodbyes and left the studio.

Before they left, Xiao Yiran asked Cheng Yuqi to send a list of all the animals needed to film "The Lion King" to each of these deans.

Three days later, Xiao Yiran received a notice from the principals, knowing that they had prepared the animals that the crew needed.

Xiao Yiran immediately opened the studio, ready to go to these zoos to see the animals they prepared.

Xiao Yiran went to Cai Xueqing's zoo first.

Xiao Yiran was also a regular visitor here. When he arrived, Cai Xueqing immediately warmly brought the staff from the zoo out to greet him.

Xiao Yiran did not rush to choose animals, but first went to Tiger Park to see Dongdong, and then went to Orangutan Park to see Xiaogang.

Now these two are Internet celebrities, and there are endless tourists coming to see them every day, and there is no shortage of all kinds of food, and their small days are very nourishing.

Seeing that these two old friends were doing well, Xiao Yiran felt relieved.

He didn't bother too much, and after playing with Dongdong and Xiaogang for a while, he started to get down to business.

Xiao Yiran went to the Lion Park first, where more than ten lions were kept, including three male lions, five female lions, and four lion cubs.

Xiao Yiran carefully examined these lions, then pointed to the most majestic male lion among them, and said to Cai Xueqing who was accompanying him: "This lion looks very fierce, I think it can play the role of the villain Scar. If Director Cai has no opinion, I will choose him!"

Scar is the big villain in "The Lion King". He is ambitious and wants to usurp the throne by colluding with the hyenas.

After killing his brother Mufasa, Scar blamed Simba for the incident, and planned to kill Simba so that he could take the throne as a matter of course.
