The days of being a cat in Japan

"Ka, this one won't work, hurry up and come over here, and then bring the actors to find the feeling."

The small park across the street outside the school was extremely lively today. Lighting, directors, photographers, backdrops and more than a dozen staff members came and went back and forth here.

These people came to shoot the commercial, which was the pet food commercial signed by Etsuko Fujimoto and Xu Jiexin.

In order to get closer to the lives of cats, the manufacturer put forward some requirements this time, hoping to use a more realistic background to shoot this new set of advertisements.

For the sake of the customer's willingness to pay, Etsuko quickly agreed to the customer's request, and took a nearby view, setting the background of the advertisement at a small park in the county with a pretty good view.

Originally, the crew who followed wanted to set the filming location in the big park to the west. They heard that the scenery there was better.

However, after some on-site inspections, the director finally gave up on this idea, because there are too many tourists in the big park, which is not conducive to the normal shooting of commercials.

This time, the manufacturer of pet food really put in a lot of effort. In order to make the commercial effective after it was shot, besides Xu Jie, they also invited another star cat to play with Xu Jie. .

That cat is a Chinchilla with very pure pedigree. This kind of cat is a very new cat breed. It belongs to the "artificial cat". It is classified as a kind of Persian cat.

Because of their small size, lightness and docile personality, this kind of cat is very popular in the pet industry, and good cat breeds are expensive.

This chinchilla is a silver shade chinchilla, and its owner takes good care of it. Its long and thick undercoat is fluffy and soft, and it looks very noble and beautiful.

Because of the outstanding appearance of this jinjila, it has earned a lot of advertising endorsements, and the pocket of the owner of this jinjila has gradually bulged.

It can be seen that its owner loves this cat very much. In order to successfully accept commercials for his pet, the owner even quit his job and devoted himself to being a cat nanny at home.

Compared with the jinjila, Xu Jie's side is much simpler.

Jiantai sent her Dasheng to the shooting site when she was going to school this morning. She agreed to pick him up after school, and then followed her sister to school with her schoolbag on her back. She was a little worried about what Xu Jie meant. nothing.

That's right, whoever called his aunt is the producer of the commercial film crew. She is the largest in the entire crew besides the director. It is said that even the director has to listen to her when not shooting.

The filming of this advertisement went smoothly at the very beginning. The two invited cats were very smart. Needless to say, Xu Jie, the silver-backed Chinchilla was also able to speak a little bit of human language.

In this way, the shooting proceeded very quickly. The first few shots were almost passed at one time, but the latter shots had to be reshot because of some sudden problems with the Chinchilla.

It's not a big problem, it's just that the jinjila heard too much from the director and photographers praising Xu Jie's expression and coordination, and it's just a little tasteless.

This silver-backed shadow jinjila has been beautiful since she was a child. When she was eight months old, she went abroad to participate in a cat show and won the championship of the Persian cat group. After that, she has achieved good results many times.

With such qualifications, he has been shining all the way since his debut, no matter where he goes, he is the focus of the camera and people's mouths.

This time it’s okay to let it play with other cats. After all, that cat was the protagonist of the last commercial. According to its owner, the commercial effect after shooting was very good, so it’s only natural that it will be used for the second time.

But this time, it was the raccoon cat that everyone talked about the most in the entire crew, and even the people who passed by from time to time praised the raccoon cat the most.

Thinking that it was because of his poor performance, everyone would pay more attention to that raccoon cat. The proud Jinjila inevitably felt a burden in his heart.

So after making a wrong expression again and getting stuck, the jinjila didn't praise the baby, and the baby jumped off the chair unhappily, and hid in the shade of a tree alone to lick its fur.

Seeing that the owner of the silver-backed shadow chinjila anxiously took the toy to coax the cat, Xu Jie helplessly flicked his tail beside Etsuko.

In fact, that chinchilla doesn’t have to worry about it. Its owner’s aunt is the producer of the advertisement. This position allows her to decide the later stage of the entire advertisement and the final production effect.

The entire advertising crew, including the director, were invited by her, so naturally they had to be polite to her, and they had to treat Xu Jie differently.

As for the passers-by, most of them are residents of the county. The Fujimoto family has a very good reputation in the county, and Xu Jie is a celebrity cat who has gone out of the county.

So the right time and place, people and Xu Jie all stand together, plus its performance is really in place, much better than other animal stars, so it's strange that people don't praise it.

After being comforted by the owner, the silver-backed shadow jinjila finally recovered some emotions, and the director hurriedly continued shooting upon seeing this.

The subsequent shots also passed by so-so, but when it came to the last clip, something went wrong again.

The central idea of ​​this ad is this. As a prince, Jinjila met a cute and cute raccoon cat when he was out, so he fell in love with it and started chasing it.

Reluctantly, the raccoon cat always ignored the prince. The anxious prince finally took out the most attractive thing for cats, which was the cat food provided by the manufacturer.

In the end, the prince won the heart of Lihuamao with the pet food provided by the advertiser, and the two cats lived happily together and held a wedding.

After Xu Jie learned of the plot, he always wanted to scratch the face of the screenwriter sitting over there.

Damn eyed frog, what's in your brain?

Didn't you inquire about it before writing the script, didn't you know that both it and that jinjila were male?

Chinchilla's owner obviously also thought about this problem, so he put forward his opinion.

Who knew that the eyed frog would say brazenly after listening to it: "What does it matter? Do you know what is the most popular thing now? That is to sell rot. There are many people in human beings who cheat for ratings. Why can't cats?" ?”

The owner of Jinjila didn't say anything after listening to it. Anyway, it wasn't his cat who was going to cross-talk. Only Xu Jie, who could hear their conversation clearly not far away, stared at the editor with fiery eyes.

But Xu Jie couldn't think of any other way out of the matter, and the contract that said he would cooperate clearly still had his paw prints on it.

But when he looked at the props he was going to use in the last scene, Xu Jie couldn't help it anymore. He waved his paws at the props staff angrily. The gesture of tearing it apart.

The props didn't dare to mess with the cat, so they had to invite the producer lady over. Etsuko Fujimoto took Xu Jie's work contract, pointed at the paw print on it, and waved at it.

Frustrated, the make-up artist of the film crew fixed the white veil that matched the wedding dress on his head. Xu Jie could only comfort himself in his heart and said, "Fortunately, it's just a veil. These guys still have some bottom line, and they're not really crazy. To let the cat wear the whole wedding dress."

The commercial's shooting director crouched in front of the camera, frowning, with the cameraman behind him.

Just now, for some unknown reason, the director suddenly snatched his job and got himself behind the camera.

After observing for a while, the director knew where the sense of disobedience that made him feel uncomfortable came from.

I saw the two cats in the camera, the elegant Chinchilla with a black bow around her neck, and the playful and lovely raccoon cat wearing a white veil, and the two cats were leaning side by side.

The picture looks very beautiful, but the director can't find the sweet atmosphere between them.

The two cats looked at each other with no emotion in their eyes, and the raccoon cat even looked at Jinjila with a feeling of disgust. If such two cats want to deceive others into saying that they are lovers, the audience will not I'm not a fool, how could I not see it.

The director patted his head with some headaches. The actors couldn't close their eyes during emotional scenes. What if people can still pull them over to talk about the play? What about cats?

It seems that it is impossible to finish the filming easily this time, and it may take several days to delay.

When the director was scratching his head because the shooting plan was not going well, he suddenly found that the cihuamao, who was posing neatly under the camera, suddenly looked at a certain place with bright eyes.

The director followed the eyes of the raccoon cat and turned the camera over there, and found that there was a black cat lying there behind the bushes at some point.

The black cat in the camera looks very mighty, but the eyes that look at the cihuamao are very gentle.

But once that gaze turned to Jinjila next to the cihuamao, it would become particularly unkind.

The director, who felt that he had comprehended something in the eyes of the black cat, quickly pointed the camera at the black cat.

At this time, the owner of Jinjila, who is also very experienced on the set, has already guessed what the director is dissatisfied with.

So he took advantage of the turning of the camera and quickly made a gesture to his cat, indicating that his pet should be more intimate with the raccoon cat beside him.

The jinjila understood its master's gesture, and reluctantly put its head on Xu Jie's.

The director, who was in charge of the camera, seemed to see flames ignited in the golden cat eyes of the black cat, and the black cat rushed towards the jinjila with lightning speed.

How could the pampered Jinjila have experienced this kind of thing? She was slapped out by the black cat's paw, and hid in her master's arms screaming.

Xu Jie, who knew the black cat well, knew that Mo had been merciless this time. He didn't have sharp claws, but just used the pads.

Otherwise, with the fighting power of the black cat, the jinjila would have no chance to run back to its owner and tremble with just this blow.

The prop guy who works part-time to maintain order on the set saw a cat jumping out to make trouble, so he hurried out with a stick to drive the black cat away.

Facing the human stick, Mo showed no sense of fear. It blew up all the hair on its body with its four claws, raised its head and showed its sharp teeth, and looked ferociously at the human who dared to swing the stick at him.

The young and strong prop boy was so frightened by Mo's aura that he didn't dare to move. He even had a feeling that the cat would scratch himself and bloom if he dared to do it.

At the moment of the stalemate between the human and the cat, the raccoon cat, which had always been blocked by the black cat, walked gently to the black cat's side and let out a coquettish cry.

Hearing the sound, the black cat put away its fur that had exploded, and the prop boy took this opportunity to take two steps back to distance himself from the vicious-looking black cat.

After making sure that the human with the stick in his hand gave up his plan to attack, Mo turned around, and Xu Jie was very happy to rub his head on its cheek at this time.

When the prop guy came over with a stick just now, Mo blocked it behind him without hesitation. This feeling of being protected moved Xu Jie deeply, and he couldn't help but want to rub it.

The white gauze on Xu Jie's head always touched the black cat's beard when it dawdled. Mo had the expression of wanting to sneeze several times, but he held back and let Xu Jie sit on it with a blank expression. Rubbing casually on the body.

When Xu Jie finally had enough, Mo suggested to let him leave the small garden with him.

Hearing this, Xu Jie looked at the director. The director didn't know what he was thinking, but he didn't stop when Mo made such a mess, and just turned on the machine and continued filming.

Could it be that the director wants to make mistakes and just go ahead with the filming?

Thinking of this, Xu Jie followed Mo tentatively and took a few steps outside.

Sure enough, the director not only didn't call the card, but also adjusted the direction of the camera, pointing the lens directly at it and Mo.

Seeing that the director acquiesced, Xu Jie became more courageous. He accelerated a few steps and trotted to keep up with the black cat.

But after running for a few steps, Mo stopped suddenly. It turned out that it remembered that noon was coming soon, but because he woke up late because he was drunk, he hadn't prepared lunch for Little Lihua yet.

So the staff present found that the black cat that was about to leave suddenly turned its head back, picked up a bag of high-end cat food that the crew put there as props, and dragged it away.

Seeing that the director still didn't intend to stop him, Xu Jie generously ran over to help Mo pick up the food, and the entire crew watched them pick up the food dumbfounded.

The director who had witnessed everything raised his head, and said happily, "Great, let's use this one, and we can pack up and call it a day."

Hearing the director's call, the stunned film crew woke up like a dream, and started to pack the things they were responsible for.

At this time, Etsuko Fujimoto also began to communicate with Chinchilla's owner, asking if his cat was injured.

As for the director, he patted the camera with satisfaction, touched his chin and said, "No wonder that raccoon cat doesn't like the prince, it's because it already has a king."
