Hollywood Road

The Stark family of Winterfell is undoubtedly an extremely important and prominent family in the entire series. They are the chief lords of the northern lands. To", sometimes the term "blood of the wolf" is used to describe the unrestrained and wild character of some members of the Stark family. [Gate of Mysterious Realm]

Therefore, in the scenes where members of the Stark family appear, the direwolf is a very important supporting role.

Animal actors often appear in Hollywood movies, and there are also specialized companies and institutions that provide related services. Some star-level animal actors are paid quite high.

The direwolf is an important symbol of Ned Stark's children. It will appear frequently in "Game of Thrones", and the crew has already contacted a special animal actor company.

It is unrealistic to use a wolf to play a role. A dog that looks a bit like a wolf is the best choice.

Accompanied by professionals, six huskies crossed the Atlantic to Belfast, but what Murphy didn't expect was that along with the huskies, there were also some people who liked to make trouble.

"Currently, there are three British non-government organizations eyeing our crew."

In an office on the set, Carafes, who came to Belfast with the husky, frowned a bit, apparently encountered something that troubled even her, "They are the British Environmental Protection Organization, the Animal Protection Organization , and the Association of Dog Lovers.￥￥, x.”

Murphy leaned back on his swivel chair, his brows furrowed tighter than that of Karafes, "It's okay for the environmental protection organization to say that we hired a special service company, and the cleaning of the location for location shooting won't be a problem. The latter two... "

He shook his head. "Animal protection organizations and dog lovers associations are the trouble."

Hollywood has a well-established system, which is not only reflected in the clear rules and regulations and strong trade union organizations to protect the rights and interests of laborers, but even animal actors have attracted the attention of some people. [Gate of Mysterious Realm]

Many crews that use animal actors must work under the supervision of relevant protection organizations if they do not want to cause too much trouble and receive protests from some people.

Just as actors who join the Screen Actors Union sign contracts with the crew under the supervision of the union, agreements to use animal actors are often signed under the supervision of relevant organizations.

Of course, this is not a mandatory measure, but if you don't do it, you will have more troubles.

"No way." Karafis shook his head, "This is a common practice in the industry, let's hurry over."

"Don't worry." Murphy sat quite steadily, "Let them wait a little longer."

The crew had already signed a formal agreement with the owners of the animal actors, but the agreement had to be filed with the Animal Protection Organization and the Dog Lovers Association, and the director Murphy and the producer Karafis had to sign on the record.

"You..." Karafis did not continue to persuade, but picked up a budget and looked at it patiently.

On the other side, Murphy closed his eyes. After a busy morning, he was also a little tired, so he seized this rare free time to rest.

After half an hour, Murphy opened his eyes, gestured to Carafes, and walked out of the office together, walked through a small open-air studio, and came to the rather dilapidated production meeting room.

Two middle-aged men were waiting here, and the crew responsible for receiving them just sat near the door and seemed unwilling to talk to them.

Seeing Murphy and Karafes walk into the meeting room, the two listless middle-aged men immediately cheered up and looked over as if they saw a class enemy.

The staff member stood up and introduced to Murphy and Carafes, "This is Richard Dennis from the British Animal Defenders Organization, and this is James Morse from the Dog Lovers Association."

Murphy nodded to the two, and sat across the conference table with Carafes. [Gate of Mysterious Realm]

"We will use animal actors in accordance with relevant regulations." Murphy didn't want to waste time on these irrelevant people,

Said very directly, "They are the same as all actors in the crew, and their rights will be properly protected."

"No!" The middle-aged man named Richard Dennis shook his head, "Director Stanton, your statement is wrong, animal actors, that is, six huskies, should receive more guarantees and more effective care. "

Hearing this, Murphy's lips trembled slightly, but he didn't say anything.

"While you have contracted animal actors with the husky owners," said James Morse of the Dog Lovers Association, "but your crew is set in the UK and you must abide by the Animal Defenders and The Association of Dog Lovers, as well as relevant British laws in this regard."

"Please." Murphy made a gesture of invitation.

"According to the regulations," James Morse was very serious, as if he was afraid that the director Murphy would abuse his sweetheart, "Animal actors should not work for more than forty-five minutes at a time, and the daily action time should not exceed three and a half hours. Any abuse, beating and abuse of animal actors..."

In just a few minutes, the other party said a long string.

To be exaggerated, it is even more detailed than the agents of Hollywood A- and Super-A cafes seeking special treatment for their big-name clients.

Finally, James Morse, who is crazy about dogs, said at the end, "We will supervise the crew's use of animal actors and effectively protect their rights. If the crew violates the behavior, we will immediately report it to the association and relevant government departments. , Strictly prevent related behaviors."

According to Murphy's understanding, the crew didn't find six huskies at all, but invited six relatives to come over.

Compared to Murphy, Karafes was a little impatient, "What about the people who take care of the huskies? Are there any relevant regulations on their working hours and working environment?"

As if he didn't understand the taunt that Carafes implied, James Morse said as a matter of course, "What we care about and protect are dogs, not humans!"

The disdain in Carafes' eyes was fleeting.

Such words made Karafes quite speechless. Even if she also had a pet dog, she still couldn't understand this mentality.

Murphy didn't bother to talk to these people, "Can I sign the memorandum now?"

"There is also accommodation for huskies..."

James Morse wanted to continue, but was interrupted by Murphy raising his hand, "The crew has clear terms on this aspect, if there is something you don't understand, you can read the relevant actor agreement, after you finish reading it, Let's go on."

"Ah... it's gone." James Morse and Richard Dennis pushed the two memos in front of them respectively.

These have been reviewed by lawyers before. Murphy opened them and looked for them. He and Karafes signed their names, nodded to the two people, stood up and walked out of the conference room.

Karafis also followed, "Why are you so happy? This is not your style."

Murphy walked towards the studio, and said as he walked, "Rosa Rodriguez and two security personnel will accompany them all the way instead of me!"

"So that's the case." Karafis was relieved.

No matter how you look at it, Murphy doesn't like those two. For those guys who love dogs more than humans, he really can't understand their mentality. The meaning expressed by James Morse just now is obvious. The six huskies are better than taking care of them Their people are much more important.

If it was a film or TV series with animals as the main character, Murphy would definitely kick those two people away and would not sign the memorandum at all, but the direwolf's appearance time in "Game of Thrones" is limited, and the scenes that need to be filmed Not many, basically not more than those demanding requirements.

Walking to the entrance of the studio, Murphy suddenly stopped. This is only the beginning of the series, and the direwolves will continue to appear in the future. If these guys keep haunting the crew, even if the director behind him is not him, it will be really annoying.

"Kara, remember this for me." Murphy reminded Karafis who followed, "Starting from the second season, all direwolves should be produced using CG as much as possible."

Even if huskies continue to act as direwolves to shoot, they still need to use cgi technology to make certain modifications, it is better to use cg directly.

Entering the studio, Murphy threw these things behind him and began to prepare for the afternoon shooting.

The scene related to the direwolf will be filmed soon, and the husky that will appear on the stage will also be brought into the studio by a professional trainer, and a make-up artist under Jack Watson will give it a styling modification.

As we all know, child actors and animal actors are the two most uncontrollable factors recognized by Hollywood crews.

These two factors permeate the crew of "Game of Thrones". Compared with the scenes of young actors that have been filmed, it is more difficult to film the direwolf.

Young actors have their own professional teachers or parents to guide them, and their performances are mostly ups and downs. After the husky appeared on the stage, Murphy fully understood why it was called one of the three sledding idiots.

In fact, it is really difficult to shoot wolves with huskies. If the animal actors are not professionally trained, they will be screaming over and over again. Murphy takes a short time to shoot, but the film ratio is very high. He shoots a lot of material. There are very few suitable lighting, shapes, and movements. He tried his best to integrate the appropriate materials and atmospheric shots he captured to create a relatively "wolf-like" husky.

As for the rule that one job should not exceed forty-five minutes, Murphy completely threw it aside when all parties defaulted to being entangled with the two dog lovers.

The direct result of this is that when the filming of the scene was about to end, the husky was really tired from participating in the filming. It stuck out its tongue and tilted its head to look at the two lenses, and quickly closed its eyes and stuck out its tongue to pretend to be dead. The whole group couldn't bear to call it "wake up".
