How do these animal actors turn us into "screen shovels"?
Special feature of 1905 film network Recently, we saw some impressive animal actors on the big screen. The Chinese pastoral dog in the park has eight barrels, and the animal actors such as the horse "Red Rabbit" in the park have conquered the audience with their "face value" and "acting skills", making countless people cry.
These animals on the big screen even stole the limelight of famous actors such as Wang and others, and deeply healed the hearts of the audience. Animal actors and child actors have the reputation of "the most difficult actor to train", but many films have benefited from their excellent performances and become classics. The most powerful attribute of animals on the big screen is the healing they bring to the audience.
The recently released "loyal dog eight males" is about a puppy who is still waiting in the place where his former owner haunts after his owner dies. The film is adapted from a true story in Japan, which has also been adapted by Japan and the United States. The Japanese version of The Story of the Loyal Dog Hachiko is very sad in tone. Besides the touching feelings of the master and Hachiko, it also depicts the tragic life of Hachiko after the master’s death. The whole American version is more warm, focusing on Hachi’s waiting for his master; The China version emphasizes the family. These versions of loyal dogs have taken away the tears of countless audiences. It is worth mentioning that the first two versions of Hachi are played by Akita Dog, while the China version is Chinese Garden Dog.
Even though many viewers have seen different versions of "Loyal Dog Eight Men", they will still choose to go to the cinema to watch it, and they will still be moved by this story, which is a charm of pet movies. Wang Nan, a teacher of the Performance Department of the Central Academy of Drama, said: "As a veteran pet owner, (pet movies) will always poke the softest point in my heart. We just took out one percent of our life to take care of it, but it gave us our whole life. What emotion is the most touching? Simple and deep emotions are the most touching. "
According to the report on pet consumption in China in 2022, contemporary young people have become the main force of pet consumption. Judging from the user portraits displayed by the data of cat-eye ticket users in 2022, 20-29 years old is the main range of movie consumption. The dual identity of "shovel officer" and fans also makes them willing to go into the cinema to watch movies about pets. And can intuitively feel the emotional bond between people and animals conveyed in the film.
From now on, pet movies are also continuing to exert their strength. Some of them are adapted from true stories, while others are fiction; There are both "Wang Xingren" and "Cats" and other cute pets. They all bring us laughter or tears from different angles.
Of course, this is also inseparable from the superb "acting skills" of animal actors. At the press conference of "Dragon Horse Spirit", Jackie Chan, the leading actor, praised the acting skills of "Red Rabbit" as "eternal god". These excellent animal performances on the screen are the result of the joint realization of pre-training and post-production. Through the training of animal trainers, animals can master basic instructions, so as to better cooperate with shooting. Later, through editing, many behaviors of animals correspond to stories. In fact, the "leading role" in many animal movies is not the same cat and dog. For example, there are several "eight barrels" in "loyal dogs and eight males". After processing, the audience feels that they are the same.
But what impressed us most is probably the nature displayed by animal actors, which is also their most unique place. Sometimes animals give unexpected responses to our actions. Some movies capture such a flash of surprise. Therefore, truth brings us a touch.
These small animals on the screen, whether we are "shovel officials" in real life or not, can always bring us touch and warmth when the lights in the cinema are dim. Let’s say from the bottom of our hearts to the little animals on the screen and in life, "Thank you, little angel."
