Strange Life of a Cat

The rice was still the way Zheng Tan saw it at the cat show, and he still did n’t have much expression. He was indifferent to people and things around him. Only when he saw it did his eyes widen and his pupils enlarged. A little less usual sharpness.

And Xiaomi, this is the first time Zheng Tan saw it after it was taken away. The pattern in the impression, and the mole like his father, these two characteristics make Zheng Tan not mistaken.

Unlike rice, Xiaomi saw Zheng Tan for the first time since he left, and when he looked at Zheng Tan with a little doubt, Zheng Tan didn't know if this guy remembered himself.

Xiaomi's gaze moved with Zheng Tan, and it was estimated that the space was too small. It squeezed the rice next to it and covered it with a slap of rice on the forehead, and continued to squeeze, and the forehead continued to be pumped.

The two cats were crowded in the car window. Zheng Tan didn't get in. The driver in front greeted Zheng Tan and jumped in from the front window.

The driver Zheng Tan had never seen, but when he listened to Charlie, he knew that this was the man Fang Shaokang said to help take care of the side of Beijing. Since they all greeted in advance, Charlie was relieved. After watching the car leave, Charlie and the people in Chuhua City reported Zheng Tan's whereabouts. This was what the boss Xiao Guo and Jiao both told.

There, Zheng Tan, who jumped into the car, was sitting in the front passenger seat. There was Fang Mengmeng and two cats in the back seat. There was also an unknown person. Fang Mengmeng's mother sent to help take care of the children and cats. .

Zheng Tan noticed that Xiaomi was wearing a rope cover, and the other end of the rope was in the hands of a woman that Zheng Tan didn't know. Xiaomi's cat card is hung on a buckle of the rope sleeve, and it is quite delicate. The rope cover also passes through the underarm of Xiaomi's forelimbs, so that the cat's neck will not bear all the forces when pulling the rope. However, in general, this kind of rope sleeve is mostly more mobile. This is not the case with rice.

Like Zheng Tan's guess, Xiaomi has a tendency to have ADHD, which is quite different from the quietness and stability of Rice. After Zheng Tan got into the car, Xiaomi was curious at first, and he often sniffed, not knowing whether he thought of it or felt that Zheng Tan was not threatening. Move closer and closer. He also raised his paw to touch Zheng Tan and moved frequently on the back seat until Fang Mengmeng forced it on the seat.

Even when lying on his back, Xiaomi was not idle.蹭 来 蹭 去 玩玩 玩玩 那。 Wagging his tail. I don't know who this character looks like. Didn't peanut butter like that?

Another thing that makes Zheng sigh uncomfortable is the body shape gap.

In Zheng Tan's view, peanut candy is one generation lower than him, and rice and millet are another generation younger. Standing next to the juniors, Zheng Tan had to look up to see them.

After arriving at Fang Mengmeng's house, Zheng Tan knew that she still underestimated Xiaomi.

Zheng Tan was lying on the sofa watching Xiaomi fiddle with a house full of tennis, and from time to time she provoked Zheng Tan on the sofa and the rice on the cat's climbing frame, and then slapped them both.

I don't know if it will cause trouble when shooting. But those who were worried about Yang Yi and the film crew, Zheng Tan no longer thought about it.

Fang Mengmeng took a camera to take a lot of pictures for Zheng Tan and Xiaomi. Rice has long been used to it. Xiaomi doesn't seem to care about the camera, and sometimes curiously leans towards the camera to take a few photos of the big nose. Moles are especially noticeable.

Zheng Tan didn't stay in Fang Mengmeng's house, but Yang Yi drove over to pick it up the next day. There wasn't much time for the shooting team. Many places still needed to run in. Yang Yi gave him a lot Great hope.

Many people say that a documentary is the eldest son of a movie and a poor brother of a feature film. As Zheng Tan knows, not every documentary can be recognized by the public. Most documentaries are put on the shelf. Many people have never heard of the name, even if they have heard it.

Many people are not optimistic about this film that Yang Yi spends effort on. Why not make a documentary?

In this regard, Yang Yi did not care at all.

Zheng Tan is not a Beijing cat. Since stories of cats in Beijing are to be told, these stories are definitely not the true Zheng Tan. Authenticity is the essential attribute of the documentary. It records the things that exist objectively, so that the audience can have a more real feeling. Therefore, Yang Yi will not go on nonsense and will not let Zheng Tan perform those fake stories.

What Zheng Tan is going to play is the real thing once. In other words, Zheng Tan wants to play another cat who is no longer in the world, and he has to change his mind when changing places.

Compared with twenty or thirty years ago, the current capital city has changed a lot. The scenes and things in Yang Yi's memory cannot be faithfully reproduced. Therefore, this also involves a method of virtualizing through scientific and technological means. Of course, virtual and The story does not represent fiction, the story is still true, and the virtual scenes and things of scientific and technological means also existed on a historical basis. Therefore, some segments of this documentary need to use a combination of virtual and real shooting techniques to reproduce the true story content.

People have the ability to reproduce past events. Those past events are scenes in Yang Yi's memory. Yang Yi said that to reach a resonance in his thoughts, Zheng Tan felt a bit stressed.

Both the lineup and the atmosphere are very different from Xiao Guo's studio.

During the shooting process, attention is paid to the control of the light ratio to improve the visual effect of the image. Therefore, the technical level of the camera and the photographer is higher. The photographer must adjust the light ratio to ensure the beauty of the image. The content is presented to the public from the most beautiful angle. Advanced shooting equipment and highly skilled photographers can be seen in both aspects of Yang Yi's emphasis on this documentary, and the post-production requires high technical processing of the images, so as to ensure the authenticity of the shooting content Next, the image is modified to enhance the visual effect, which requires the relevant shooting technicians to have high technical skills.

Sure enough, shooting pet ads is still very different from this kind of documentary. No wonder Xiao Guo had been nervous before, even with Charlie.

Yang Yi told Charlie that the team they came over to Beijing talked about the next few scenes to be filmed, how to move, where to look, how to call and so on. Zheng Tan listened.

The old man who played with Zheng Tan and many people in the shooting team didn't understand Yang Yi's approach. At the beginning, when they knew Yang Yi was going to make this documentary, they knew it was difficult. People are okay. Cats are notoriously hard to serve. They are harder to serve than dogs. Look at the movies about dogs and cats so far and their proportion in movies. You do n’t know cats before you shoot them. How difficult it is to serve, so they feel that Yang Yi is still too young, thinking things too simple.

Yang Yi also knows what others think, but he learned from Xiao Guo and Jiao. And I saw it myself at the pet center shooting site. All made him have great expectations for this cat, which involved the story about his grandfather. The film itself is very significant, even if it is not a large-scale movie. It's just a documentary that many people don't like.

Every time Yang Yi shoots animals. They all like to guess the mood of the animal at that time through the eyes of the animals that were fixed in the photo. Compared to people. Animals are more likely to attract eyeballs. In fact, many times, one eye of an animal can kill those stars on TV. It's not that they perform better than the stars, but how much impact they can have on the people they see. Those who love pets, sometimes even if their pets have made a mistake, they are prepared to blame and lose their helmet and armor after facing the pet's coquettishness or poor eyes. The eyes of animals are also stunned.

Although it is said to be a documentary, some of them still have to act, especially Zheng Tan's interpretation of another cat's cat.

Before the shoot, Zheng Tan wanted to put on makeup.

Yes, makeup.

This was discussed before. The black cat that Grandpa Yang Yi once raised was not a pure black cat. The cat had three feet with white, one foot with black, a little white on the nose, and one on the chin. Compared with the sheriff, the white color of the triangle is not much. Zheng Tan has seen the photos taken by Yang Yi.

As for the dyed fuel, it was specially prepared by Yang Yi. It was said to be harmless, and it could be eaten and washed away. For this reason Dao Jiao also took some for testing, and agreed after getting the results.

Prior to this, Zheng Tan always thought that dyeing was easy, but it was not until "makeup" that it was found to be the case. The makeup artist Yang Yi invited was too responsible, too detailed, of course, the effect is also very good, Zheng Tan now goes out to ensure that many people do not know him, most people recognize animals at first glance is to recognize the color, dyed a little white It has changed a lot, and its blackness has been reduced.

Charlie took the mirror and let Zheng Tan see it. The other Zheng Tan was still satisfied. At first glance, he could not see makeup. The only thing that was depressed was the white under the nose. Zheng Tan now felt that peanut candy and millet's "mole" It looks pretty good, better than Zheng Tan now. Zheng Tan felt that the little white under the nose was like a snot, which stayed directly in his mouth.

The makeup is done, and shooting begins.

Many questions are only known when we start shooting.

For example, how Yang Yi said how to make coquettish calls and preventive calls.

"That ... Black charcoal won't bark, no, it can't make a cat's voice ..." Charlie said helplessly.

Yang Yi: "..." What does it mean to "can't make a cat sound"?

Regarding this, Zheng Tan said that it was indeed beyond his ability, ordinary meowing was enough, let alone the coquettish voice of a coquettish.

Charlie was afraid that the grandfather was angry, and hurried to explain to Yang Yi.

Yang Yi thought about the advertisements that I wanted to see, as if I hadn't seen the cat named ~ www.readwn.com ~, sighed, Yang Yi said: "Never mind, when the cry comes, I'll think of a way, continue . "

...

"Okay, sock it later ... what's up ?! Sock sock? Hate stinky socks ?! Hey, it's new, it's just made old, don't believe you smell it ... ok, go on!"

...

"Okay, let it lie on a wooden stool and lick its paws ... what? Don't lick its paws? How can a cat not lick its paws? People still **** their fingers ... Is there a dye? It's okay. I've eaten ... otherwise it licks the claw of the unused dye ... ok, go on. "

...

One day after shooting, Charlie and his team were sweating a lot, Zheng Tan was not much better, Yang Yi was too demanding, and the director did not think there was anything wrong, but Yang Yi was not satisfied. It is estimated that I want to coincide with the fragments in the memory.

Zheng Tan breathed a long breath. Forget it, dedicate yourself to art. (To be continued ...)
