After filming the scenes in the snowy region, they stayed at the camp to film various other shots, especially those requiring the cooperation of the camp's animals.
Chen Yang and Ou Huang haven't collaborated much. In the movie's plot, the wolf that accompanied the protagonist died some time after he came of age.
Therefore, the European Emperor was cooperating with Xiao Chenliu and Jing Wu, but Chen Yang also accompanied him throughout the process.
With him directing with his natural inspiration, the animals execute the commands very well, whether they're trying to act fierce or cute, they do it flawlessly. Their movements are also executed with high precision.
Yin Weilin's plot is very much in line with the tastes of today's audiences. After all, movies are for people to watch. If you don't consider the viewing experience and only indulge in your own work, you can only make a work that moves yourself.
Sometimes, people would come to watch and marvel at Chen Liu's acting skills.
Chen Liu, dressed in tattered animal skin clothing, stared at the leopard before him, a rusty dagger clutched in his hand, visibly nervous. Though a mask concealed his face, his slightly trembling hands betrayed his tension.
Not far from Chenliu, the European Emperor was being attacked by two leopards. Although he had the upper hand, he was unable to come to Chenliu's aid immediately.
The leopard opened its mouth wide and lunged at Chen Liu, but Chen Liu seemed to have made up his mind. His hands stopped trembling, and he dodged the leopard's attack, thrusting out the dagger in his hand.
"Cut! One take!" Yin Weilin shouted.
"Yay, another one-shot!" Li Su'er cheered from the side.
Yes, again. Most of the shots Chen Liu filmed were done in one take; the ones that weren't were mostly not because of him, but because the animals made mistakes.
"Chen Yang, to be honest, even if we don't consider letting Chen Liu enter the entertainment industry, I guarantee that he could become famous all over the world," Yin Weilin said earnestly to Chen Yang.
This was the third time he had said this to Chen Yang, and he wasn't joking; he was genuinely interested.
Chen Liu is incredibly talented. He doesn't need to be taught at all. Just tell him the plot, and he can understand and perform it on his own, and even do it better than everyone expects. It's like he was only asked to get first place in the class, but he got first place in the whole city.
Chen Yang rejected Yin Weilin's suggestion without hesitation, and said seriously, "Chen Liu doesn't have acting talent, but he's smart, so he can do anything well. But I still hope to let him go, anyway, he can definitely do anything well."
Helpless, Yin Weilin looked at Chen Liu.
Chen Liu calmly told him, "My career in the performing arts has not made a great contribution to the country and the world, but my career in scientific research would make a great contribution. Even if I go into finance, I can still make a contribution to the country."
Yin Weilin discovered that despite his rich life experience, he was unable to refute a child's words.
He himself knew that having Chen Liulai act was a waste of talent. However, any film producer who saw such a talented child would be tempted to bring him into the industry.
"Let's film the next scene, Uncle Yin. After we finish, I'm going to practice calligraphy with Grandpa Yun," Chen Liu said earnestly.
Yin Weilin nodded helplessly and continued filming the next take.
Chen Liu's storyline only occupies a quarter of the film, while Jing Wu's part is even smaller, only about one-fifth. Of that, the opening sequence, various natural landscapes, and diverse animals take up about a quarter of the film, with the remainder being Chen Yang's scenes.
The plot of this film is merely used to attract viewers; what truly elevates its ratings and draws the audience in is the breathtakingly beautiful scenery and diverse array of wildlife in the microcosm.
After filming the next scene, Chen Liu dutifully spent an hour learning calligraphy from Grandpa Yun before he had his free time.
Other children's free time is for letting loose and having fun. But Chen Liu's free time is for studying, reading, and occasionally looking at the sky and the distance.
He looks just like some old men.
Jing Wu is also training for the upcoming filming of "Old Age". His girlfriend is learning to cook, saying she wants to make nutritious meals for him.
Jing Wu's parents also expressed their helplessness after entering the Micro Realm.
Although the girl was indeed very nice, and the two didn't seem to be just playing around, this was still way too early. For Jing Wu, it wasn't a question of whether his pubic hair had fully grown; it was that it hadn't even grown in yet.
On the contrary, the girl, because girls mature earlier, was already somewhat aware of things and would take the initiative to please Jing Wu's parents, often helping them out.
Jing Wu is more mature than most children, but he is still in the early stages of adolescence and is particularly concerned about his image.
After witnessing Chen Liu's outstanding performance, Jing Wu secretly resolved that he could at least not be too much worse than Chen Liu.
As for surpassing Chenliu, he had given up hope.
His parents also said that it's better to have a child like Jing Wu. If a child doesn't cause his parents any worry, then the parents really have no sense of accomplishment.
Jing Wu is actually quite promising. His grades are consistently among the top in the school. At home, he helps with housework and actively participates in military training with his father. He also visits nursing homes and volunteers whenever he has free time.
The only thing that bothered his parents was his early romantic relationship.
Jing Wu's father was a very serious man, but he was reluctant to reprimand his son on this matter.
First of all, he also got married at the age of nineteen, but Jing Wu's marriage was delayed because he had to carry out various missions.
Secondly, he spent every day with a group of soldiers, and Jing Wu had little contact with people his own age while being exposed to a pack of hungry wolves in the army every day. It's really not Jing Wu's fault.
Many soldiers are young men in their early twenties, and most of them haven't even gone to university yet, so it's normal for them to lead Jingwu astray.
In this regard, Jing Wu's father had been scolded by Jing Wu's mother many times, and he was too ashamed to scold Jing Wu himself. Fortunately, the girlfriend Jing Wu found was the type he was quite satisfied with. Although she was a bit precocious, she was very well-behaved and sensible, the obedient girl type.
Jing Wu's parents were relatively supportive of this film shoot, seeing it as a challenge and a valuable learning experience for their son, a very important journey in his life.
How many opportunities does one have in a lifetime to make a movie? To have such an opportunity to train one's child, without revealing the child's identity or having any worries, why wouldn't any parent be happy?
Even Chen Yang thought the same way, which is why he agreed to film the movie. But judging from the looks of it, it seems that Chen Liu hasn't been trained much. That kid is a natural-born actor; he doesn't need any training at all. He's self-taught.
