Why does Andy, the director of Pets, say that animal actors are the most expensive, and they are all real shots?

Four of the six lovely pets are old bones, and the four animals in the movie were brought from Hollywood by the animal training team.

The film involves a lot of animal shooting, but there is a lack of relevant shooting experience in China. Director Andy decided to invite top foreign animal training teams to assist in filming. In addition to "Loyal Dogs and Eight Males", the animal training team invited by Andy also participated in films such as "The Purpose of Dogs" and "Wolf Totem". There are 14 people from the Hollywood Animal Training Team in China, one is the general coordinator and the other is the deputy coordinator. In addition, 12 animal trainers are responsible for the six animals in the film in pairs. ?

According to director Andy, the four animals in the film were brought from Hollywood by the animal training team. Are all battle-hardened old bones, equivalent to animal stars? Li's orange cat is from Marvel Comics' movie Captain Surprise? Yuan eater? Guo Qilin's stray dog just played Dog Day last year, and Leo's golden retriever played cute dog's voice and many American dramas. Elaine Chung's Rottweiler Black Dog played Wang Xing undercover last year. ?

The highest level of training animals is to keep them still. Before the official shooting, animal trainers will help each other and directly simulate the whole shooting process on the spot. There are 10 people around the rehearsal site. Some people are playing photographers with cartons, some people are pushing trolleys as tracks, some people are playing lighting engineers, some people are holding telephone poles to receive broadcasts, and various machines are moving around the scene, deliberately distracting animals. Ordinary kittens will definitely get up when they see a pole pestle there, but the animal trainer just wants these six animals to completely shield the external interference and let them ignore the surrounding environment, so that they don't have to spend time calming the animals' emotions when they really shoot. ?

In the "Pets" crew, no one moved for at least 15 seconds after director Andy stopped. This clip just tells the actors that the performance is over and gives the animals a time to enter a safe state? . When the animal trainer puts the animal in a safe space to ensure that it will not be frightened, all the staff will walk around slowly.
