The days of being a cat in Japan

On this day, the cats did not follow the Fujimoto couple to the shop as usual, but chose to stay at home.

After sending away all the humans in the room, Cihuamao skillfully jumped onto the sofa, pressed the remote control with its paw, and turned on the TV.

Meow, the news from Etsuko is that the promotional video will start broadcasting today, starting in the morning on the county TV station, and after noon it will be broadcast nationwide.

That's all the news that Etsuko can give. As for the exact broadcast time of the more specific promotional video, she is not too clear.

Wanting to see what the script was adapted into, Lihuamao had no choice but to use the most stupid trick, which was to sit on the sidelines and wait for the rabbit.

Anyway, I already know that the county TV station will definitely start broadcasting this morning, so I just watch the TV and don't switch channels.

When the cats turned on the TV, the county TV station was broadcasting the morning news. The cats who were not very interested in it gathered together in twos and threes, or closed their eyes to rest or licked each other.

A few minutes later, the morning news time ended, and the promotional video that Lihuamao had been waiting for was finally played.

Hearing the familiar song, Lihuamao immediately knew that the promotional video should start, because when it went to shoot a few days ago, it had heard this opening song at the scene.

After the short opening song, the screen begins to get to the point. The opening chapter is just like what Lihuamao heard from the assistant. It starts with a family of four generations getting lost on a self-driving trip.

In the camera, an SUV is parked on the side of the road, one side of the door is open, and the lost family of six is ​​studying the road map together.

It seemed that the opinions did not reach an agreement, and the adults soon started arguing, while the children at home who couldn't understand the argument just watched from the side of the road boredly.

Just as the little friend was looking around, he suddenly heard the meowing of a kitten.

"Mi~mi~"

"Hey, is there a kitten?" The boy who heard the meow of the kitten squatted down, pushed aside the bushes on the side of the road and looked inside, and saw a beautiful raccoon kitten, squatting in the grass.

The grass was pushed aside, and the two little things looked at each other. Just when the kid was in a daze, the little raccoon cat on the opposite side raised its paws, squinted its golden eyes and tilted its head to hook it, and at the same time called out Said: "Mi~~mi~~."

After barking, the kitten got up and walked back in a circle. After walking a few steps, the kitten stopped, turned around and yelled at the child again.

The curious child turned around and shouted to the parents: "Look, there is a cute kitten over there."

Then he got up and followed the little civet cat.

The parents, who were still arguing about which way to go, immediately started chasing their children, so the kitten was in front, the children were in the middle, and the parents followed, and they just started running.

The camera fast-forwards and the screen suddenly changes, and everyone realizes that they have come to the gate of an ancient building.

Just when the whole family was staring at the simple and elegant gate in a daze, the vermilion gate was pushed open from the inside, and a row of staff members in uniform bowed down to salute the guests outside the gate.

Then the family who entered the building discovered that it was actually a hot spring villa.

Afterwards, the family who entered the annex enjoyed the treatment of a king, soaked in hot springs and ate delicious food, and the family played and played.

A few seconds later, the camera turned again, and when the family who had enjoyed the day in the hot spring villa was about to leave, the grandfather of their family also heard the meow of the cat.

Then the cute kitten appeared again, meowing to the family.

Family members who had just had a great day smiled and walked over to say hello to it, only to find that the scenery around them changed.

In an instant, the antique buildings turned into a city full of modern atmosphere, shopping malls, large shopping malls, cinemas, and the central square of the city, with cars coming and going, crowded with people, giving the appearance of a modern metropolis.

The family with very clear age groups soon had their own places to play in the city.

The oldest grandpa played chess, drank tea, fished and listened to operas with many grandpas and grandmas similar to him in the city park.

And his son and daughter-in-law, who just retired, made an appointment with a group of partners to climb the mountain with backpacks on their backs.

The grandson of the old man is standing with a group of friends on the golf course, chatting, laughing, and swinging golf balls, while his wife is taking the children at home, pushing a shopping cart to shop carefully in the city's shopping malls.

In just a few tens of seconds, seven or eight shots are continuously switched, which vividly reflects the vitality of the city and the happiness and abundance of the people living in the city.

As the day turns into night and the sky is full of stars, the noisy city in the daytime quiets down, and the family that disperses to play separately during the daytime also reunites in the nighttime.

In the guest room of the high-end hotel, the family was eating hot pot together, at this moment they heard the call of the tender young seedling again.

The room fell silent instantly because of the cat meowing. After the people around the table glanced at each other, they put down the bowls and chopsticks in their hands, got up and came to the French windows.

Outside the floor-to-ceiling window, there were three big cats and a kitten. The little civet cat squatted on the ground, raised its head and chest, and gave a loud meow.

The kid lying on the window immediately replied, although the language was different, but seeing the two happy little things, the adults suddenly laughed and the cats also curled their mouths.

At this moment, I remembered the ending song, and the smile on the subtitles always welcomes you to our home...

After watching all the content of a 5-minute city promotional video, Lihuamao rubbed the corners of his mouth with his paws, and had to admit that the screenwriter and director were really capable.

This city promotional video was filmed. If the cat didn't live here, after watching this promotional video, there would really be an urge to go and have a look.

But those guys made a lot of changes to the script. Basically, except for the main frame, everything else was adjusted.

Also, wasn’t the cat the one with the most shots during the shoot?It was also agreed that the cat would be the main thread interspersed, so why did they all turn into Hanamaki in the end, and myself, Mo and Tuanzi only showed up at the end of the film?

What did the director and screenwriter think?Why such a sudden change?

Just when Lihuamao couldn't figure it out, the TV station soon had a divine assist.

Probably in order to cooperate with the broadcast of the promotional film, the TV station specially interviewed the main creative and production team who shot this promotional film. This program happened to be broadcast after the promotional film.

Not long after the show started, Lihuamao heard the host ask the director: "I heard that the main task of this promotional film was given to Teacher Dasheng, why is it that the main task of the main line is interspersed when it is broadcast now?" But it became the little civet cat of Dasheng teacher's house? May I ask if there is any accident?"

Hearing this, the director and the screenwriter looked at each other, and then he explained: "There is nothing wrong with it. When we were filming in the early stage, it was indeed as you said just now. The animals here are mainly Teacher Dasheng. Yes. But after the film was shot, the screenwriter and I always felt that something was missing after watching it. Later, after watching the interaction between me and the little civet cat, the screenwriter suddenly had the inspiration to temporarily change the script."

"Oh, what is the inspiration? Can you explain it to us in detail?" the host continued to ask.

Seeing this, the screenwriter took the initiative to take the microphone over and said, "It's actually like this. When I was watching a movie, I always felt that there was something missing in it. No, no, no, it's not that Teacher Dasheng's performance is not good, on the contrary, that teacher's performance is very good. I am very professional, but it is because I am too professional that I feel that I am missing a feeling. How can I explain it to you? For example, I am a tourist. I came to a place and met an enthusiastic guide. Explain the city to me. Although he is very professional and I am very happy to listen to it, but because he is professional, all I hear and see is his work, so I always feel less intimacy. And that The kitten is different, it is lively and innocent, and it is what it sees in its eyes, and this kind of real feeling is what we want to show to everyone and to the world."

Lihuamao, who was watching TV carefully, suddenly realized what he said, and then nodded in agreement, because what the other party said was correct, and it was indeed making this film with an attitude towards work.

The promotional film focuses on rendering power, and I can't give the film crew the atmosphere they want. It is understandable that everything will be changed to a more realistic Hanamaki.

When the cihuamao was studying humbly, it suddenly felt itchy on its front paws, and when it looked down, it saw its own kitten blinking its eyes and looking at it pitifully.

"My, dad, don't be angry with the cat. It's not Hanamaki's job to force daddy." Said the little Hanamaki who thought she had made trouble for her dad.

"Meow? Hahahaha, what are you thinking, little thing? How could Dad be angry with you because of this matter? Dad is very happy for your outstanding performance."

"My, really?"

"Meow, of course, the cat is waiting for you to lie on the sidelines and enjoy the blessings obediently after you become a big star."

"My, when Hanamaki earns his wages, I will buy a big cat litter for my father, a new blanket for my father, and a lot of toys for my brother."

"Hey, I am very ambitious, good, good, the cat is waiting for your big cat litter with new blankets and piles of toys."

With the vigorous publicity of the government, the new promotional video quickly spread. The little civet cat with the dark golden fishbone pattern in it was instantly popular because of its cute appearance and cute temperament.

Some cat lovers even specially recorded this advertisement, carried it with them and clicked it to play it from time to time.

On this day, after returning to the rest room on the mountain for the ranger, he found and played the city promotional video he had specially recorded. Be serious.
