Strange Life of a Cat

At first, Yang Yi didn't understand why the other party had such an obviously alienated reaction, but after a while, when he thought of something, he took out a business card and handed it over: I'm from 'Yixing Culture', come here Attend a conference on the art of photography.

Charlie is still vigilant, he doesn't know what Yixing culture is, but when it comes to people in photography, it can be regarded as an intersection with them, so before he fully understands, Charlie still regards Yang Yi as a competitor.

The business card that Yang Yi gave was a relatively ordinary business card, which did not state Yang Yi's specific position in the company, and the phone number was the number of a spare mobile phone that Yang Yi bought in Chuhua City.

After Charlie glanced at the business card, he didn't care about it. Out of politeness, he didn't throw the business card into the trash can immediately, but put it in his pocket. He wanted to leave quickly with the cat.

Seeing that the other party didn't intend to continue talking at all, Yang Yi stopped talking. After the other party left with the cat on a small electric bike, Yang Yi thought about the scene just now. When the other party knew that he was a photographer, the obvious guarded eyes made Yang Yi guess the possible answer. The business card he gave was actually just out of curiosity, and the movie he invested in also involved some shots of cats, but the cats in it needed to be of rare breeds, like the black domestic cat just now, which was not in Yang Yi’s eyes. The scope of consideration, the original plan was to find some trained cats with a bit of spirituality, after seeing the words Obviously such a pet center printed on the bag just now, I thought, if possible, it would be good to cooperate with such a pet center , This is just his behavior on the spur of the moment.

After someone checked the pet center, Yang Yi went back to the hotel and watched most of the commercials and videos that Xiao Guo and the others had made before. He stayed up all night thinking about the video. He suddenly had an idea, but he had to meet the person in charge of the pet center first.

Yang Yi didn't wait long, and he received a call from Xiao Guo the next day.

It turned out that after Charlie took Zheng Tan to the pet center, because the temperature in the room was a little higher and it was a bit stuffy, Charlie left his coat in the place where he put his clothes next to him, and the business card in the coat slipped out at that time. At that time, no one paid attention to it. Xiao Guo found it when he put away the clothes in the past. He picked it up and looked at it. When he saw the word Yixing Culture on it, he was immediately excited.

Xiao Guo himself made a lot of money from advertisements and videos. He even rented a cat to a small crew to shoot a TV series. He naturally knows the professional and commercial circle. Yixing Culture is one of them. I know who Yang Yi is and what position he holds in Yixing Culture, but since this company is involved, it means there are potential business opportunities. Not caring about anything else, Xiao Guo immediately called Charlie over to ask about what happened at that time.

Charlie didn't hide anything, he said everything, anyway, it was only a matter of a few minutes.

Seeing Boss Guo's unpredictable expression, Charlie felt a drum in his heart.

Boss, is Yixing Culture very good? Could it be...they also shoot commercials? How does it compare to our studio? Charlie asked. In his mind, their studio is the best in the circle, of course, it is only limited to the circle of shooting cat commercials.

Xiao Guo tapped Charlie's head with the magazine in his hand, You know what, compared with others, our studio is the difference between braised beef instant noodles and braised beef!

Charlie: ... Isn't that the difference between a dick and a tall, rich and handsome guy?

Looking at the two yuan a bag of instant noodles with braised beef that didn't have much beef on the table next to him, Charlie fell silent.

After thinking about it all night, Xiao Guo made a phone call in the morning.

After receiving Xiao Guo's call, Yang Yi also had a clue after listening to the other party's self-introduction. When he investigated the pet center, he checked all the key people in it and knew what role Xiao Guo played in the team.

The two made an appointment, Yang Yi came to the pet center, walked around under the leadership of Xiao Guo, and asked about Zheng Tan, but Xiao Guo could talk about other things, but he didn't want to talk about Zheng Tan. Talking too much, I still told the hidden story after Yang Yi revealed his identity.

Because Zheng Tan has always been relatively low-key, although there are many people in the cat circle who know about BlackC, they can't match the number, and under Xiao Guo's deliberate concealment, Zheng Tan's real information cannot be found. Since he was met by the big boss of Yixing Culture this time, and the other party also wanted to cooperate, Xiao Guo revealed a little bit.

Yang Yi didn't immediately decide on the cooperation, he wanted to learn more about the situation during the filming. For this reason, Xiao Guo invited Yang Yi to watch the next filming.

Yang Yi's heart was itching for a long time, and he really wanted to see how the filming was done, and the performance of those cats. In his opinion, the performance of many cats in those videos was perfect, especially the black cat. Moreover, although he usually takes some photos of animals, there is definitely a gap between him and the professional pet photography team. Just like his grandfather back then, he was not good at taking pictures of people and scenery, but he was good at taking pictures of cats.

So, after Yang Yi left Chuhua City for a while, he flew over again during a new round of filming at the pet center.

Zheng Tan was taken aback when he saw Yang Yi at the shooting site. He had an impression of this person, but he didn't know why Xiao Guo allowed him to watch. Generally speaking, Xiao Guo didn't allow other people to enter the shooting site, unless it was him People who really trust. And this...

Looking at Xiao Guo's performance, Zheng Tan felt that Xiao Guo was a little cautious when dealing with Yang Yi, and it seemed that Yang Yi's background was not small.

No matter who the other party is from, Zheng Tan is not interested, his responsibility is to do today's job well.

As soon as the filming started, Xiao Guo's previous cautiousness disappeared, and he completely entered the previous state, directly leaving Yang Yi beside him, almost forgetting about this person.

Yang Yi didn't care that he was left out, he paid attention to the black cat under the camera, and other cats and dogs playing other roles. I have to admit that the professional team is better than others. Which cat can't sleep without holding something, which cat will start to cheer up at what time, which cat hates what smell, what will happen after smelling it, etc. There is a spectrum, and from the establishment to the present, the team has a deep understanding of the cats that are often under the camera in the studio, and the shooting efficiency is high, and the effect is also satisfactory. Xiao Guo said that the black cat is the trump card here, which is true, just look at the performance of these cats. It's a pity that because of the breed, it was impossible to use this cat in that movie, and only other cats could be used. According to the script in that movie, it must be a famous breed of cat.

However, the fact that the black cat couldn't play the role in the movie fulfilled the idea in Yang Yi's heart.

Yang Yi likes to shoot, mostly because of his grandfather's influence. Yang Yi had the idea of ​​shooting a documentary about cities, people and cats a long time ago. The documentary will record real life, show the pulse and life of the times, show and record the real side of the times, and add cats like this An element also enhances the viewability of documentaries, which will make many people who are not interested in documentaries also take a look. It's just that it's more difficult, and I haven't been able to put it into practice. After the old man passed away, when looking through the photos in the thick albums, Yang Yi's idea became stronger.

Looking at the well-behaved black cat in front of the camera, the smile on Yang Yi's face grew bigger and bigger.

Zheng Tan, who was filming a commercial, suddenly felt a chill on his back, and almost made a mistake when jumping. Fortunately, he has rich experience and strong psychological quality, so he quickly calmed down.

After the filming was over, Yang Yi and Xiao Guo had a private conversation in the room, and when they talked about Zheng Tan, Xiao Guo shook his head, I can't make up my mind about this, you have to find the cat's father and get the consent of his family, otherwise it's fine. If you take it away forcibly, it won’t cooperate, and it will let you know what a cat’s claw is.”

Afterwards, Yang Yi signed a contract with Xiao Guo, and the film side picked a cat with rich experience in filming from the team to borrow the cat. At the same time, there were several people from the team here, and they would take care of the cat. The life of the cat also makes it more suitable for shooting. As for Zheng Tan's side, Yang Yi went directly to the door to discuss.

Jiao's father and Jiao's mother are very troubled, so it's fine to shoot commercials. Xiao Guo is an acquaintance, knows everything, and agrees to keep Zheng Tan's real information secret. how much impact. Just like Xiao Guo himself has always believed that the advertising shooting of cat food and related products is nothing more than a trivial matter compared to those professional film and television. That level is different. Moreover, the commercial shooting site here is still close to home, if Yang Yi takes over this job, Zheng Tan probably won't be at home for a long time.

Judging by Zheng Tan's trouble-making virtue, Jiao's father and Jiao's mother are really worried.

It is not easy to convince the people of Jiao's family, Yang Yi did not expect to encounter such obstacles.

To lure them into profit?

Sorry, the Jiao family is not as poor as others think, and they are not so fanatical about money, so they don't like this.

Intimidate?

In Xiao Guo's words, that cat will let you know what a cat's claw is.

Let's grind it until Jiao's family agrees.

Yang Yi originally planned to fly back to the capital tomorrow, but because of this incident, he changed his mind, played the emotional card, and talked about some emotional things, about art, about human relationships, about cats, and said that the film promotes love and care for cats This time, more people will like and understand such a race that has infiltrated into human society, has a bad temper, and is difficult for people to understand.

In the end, the Jiao family relented, but it was just a resignation. The final decision still depends on Zheng Tan's own opinion. After Zheng Tan himself agreed, Jiao's father replied to Yang Yi and agreed to act.

After Yang Yi finished talking, he looked at the sunshine outside the window for a while, then picked up the phone again, and took out the photo album in the phone. There was a copied old photo on it. In the photo was an old man who was smiling happily. A yellow-and-white domestic cat stood on the old man's shoulder. The cat leaned against the old man's head affectionately, raised its chin slightly and looked at the camera, with a lazy look down.

Some people say that there are too many people in the capital with the arrogance at the feet of the emperor, but they also have the warmth of the alleys, while the cats in the capital have the aura of the Forbidden City and the hustle and bustle of a courtyard.

That black cat should be able to perform the effect he wants, right? Yang Yi thought.
