Zhang Zian stood up from the side of Famous and asked, ”May I ask if the performance is over?”
Feng Xuan came to himself and hurriedly said, ”It's over.”
Hearing this sentence, Famous quickly stood up from the ground, opening its mouth and gasping. Holding a long breath to play dead just now, its body had been lacking oxygen.
Feng Xuan, Nie Yuan, Sheng Ke, the assistant, as well as the security guards present, were all silently focusing on Famous and Zhang Zian. They did not know what words can be used to express their feelings at this moment. The performance of this dog was f**king fantastic! How can he train the dog so well?!
Zhang Zian could not forget the scene he saw just now. He doubted whether or not it was an illusion. Why were the eyes of Famous so similar to that of the dead Guangxi rural dog?
After a long time, Feng Xuan controlled his extremely complex moods, exhaled a long sigh and said, ”Well, I think this step of the test can stop here ... what’s your opinion, Director Nie?”
Nominally, Feng Xuan and Nie Yuan were jointly presiding over the audition, so Feng Xuan should respect Nie Yuan in front of others.
”I have nothing to say, Director Feng, you have the final say on this.” Nie Yuan wiped the cold sweat on his forehead. He felt creepy about the vivid performance by Famous.
”Well, let's move on to the back yard, where the last step in the audition will take place, but it's extremely hard, your dog might even be injured in the test.” Feng Xuan stood up and tidied up his crumpled suit and said to Zhang Zian.
Zhang Zian was anxious and he looked fearfully at Famous, while Famous just fearlessly responded, as if it was saying, ”Don’t worry, it's no problem.”
”You know, we named this movie Dog Warrior, because it is a movie that features the guard dogs domesticated by frontier guards, and it is about these dogs’ brave performance in mine clearance, fighting against drug trafficking and transnational crimes. So in the movie, there are inevitably scenes like battling with the enemies, car chasing, encountering danger in the wilderness, crossing through minefields etc. And in these scenes, a lot of fireworks and explosion effects will be used...” Feng Xuan said, ”So we must make sure that as the leading roles of the movie, the dogs must have the courage and composure instead of running away under the circumstance of flames and loud noises, do you understand?”
Zhang Zian understood now why the crew preferred the police dogs. As it turned out, police dogs had taken part in real-life enforcement actions and that they were more determined and courageous than the ordinary German Shepherd. Even so, the crew still did not pick the dogs that made them happy, indicating that the test that followed will be enormously harsh.
”I see.” He nodded.
Feng Xuan said approvingly, ”Among the dogs participating in the audition, usually only one in ten can make it to the final step. Your dog is the best one I have ever seen, I hope it can smoothly reach the finishing point.”
The assistant handed over a piece of paper to Zhang Zian, ”Please sign this disclaimer.”
Zhang Zian slightly glanced at the paper. It was nothing more than saying that he had volunteered to participate in the test, and that he understood the test may be dangerous, and injury or even death may occur, and the crew did not bear any responsibility.
In the face of the matter of life and death, he hesitated for a moment, reading out every word on the paper in a low voice. Others might think this was his reading habit, in fact, he was reading it to Famous.
Without any hesitation, Famous loudly barked as its agreement.
