Strange Life of a Cat

When he first heard what Kong Han said, Zheng Tan froze.

Nima, cold sweat is breaking out!

Suddenly feel very guilty.

Zheng Tan turned his head to look in other directions, and stopped looking at Kong Han, but kept his ears open, for fear of missing what Kong Han said later.

If you really want to count it carefully, Professor Jiao's cat is half of the protagonist of this movie. Kong Han laughed.

Generally speaking, protagonist is a very attractive word for actors. As for why half of the protagonist is mentioned, it has something to do with the plot.

Can you be more specific? Papa Jiao said. He doesn't really mind being able to play the role of his own cat, the leading role and supporting role, but half of the leading role... this role sounds quite heavy.

As I said just now, the plot is that a big man wakes up and finds that he has turned into a cat... Kong Han explained without haste.

Hearing this, Zheng Tan: ... Woke up? Is it true that your old background has not been discovered? !

The good thing is, when Kong Han continued to talk, Zheng Tan discovered that the protagonist in the script is a white-collar worker rather than a college student, and turning into a cat does not mean going back to the past, and the cat form and human form are alternated, that is to say , the protagonist sometimes becomes a cat, and sometimes remains a human.

The script was different from Zheng Tan's, which made Zheng Tan heave a sigh of relief. However, to a certain extent, Zheng Tan's performance in this play can be regarded as his true colors. Except for Zheng Tan, it is estimated that no cat can act better than Zheng Tan.

Papa Jiao nodded after listening to Han's simple words. He could roughly guess something, but he still quietly waited for Kong Han's next words.

The male protagonist in it becomes a cat, so, on to the protagonist, Professor Jiao, your cat and the popular young student Shi Xiaotian shared the leading role, but strictly speaking, your cat has a little more role than Shi Xiaotian.

Shi Xiaotian and Zheng Tan have heard that many girls in Xiaoyouzi's school are fans of that person, and this person is also one of the people who came out after Gongzixiao's accident. What is the real character, Zheng Tan does not know for the time being.

Where's the heroine? Oh, sorry, I'm just asking. If it's inconvenient, you don't have to. Papa Jiao said.

It's okay, the heroine has already been decided. Wei Wen, have you heard of it? She has filmed a court drama and an idol drama. Kong Han did not hide too much, and there are not many actors who have been finalized. There are still variables, but Yang Yi said that the other party's questions should be answered as much as possible. After all, it is rare to find such a cat, and Professor Jiao doesn't seem like a person who breaks his mouth.

Wei Wen? That girl is pretty good, she has a good face and a good figure, and there are many people who flirt with her, but Zheng Tan remembers that it will take another two years for Wei Wen to really become popular. As for now, she is not among the most popular stars. Is the upcoming movie not good or popular?

Zheng Tan shook his head, everything is unknown. At that time, I had never heard of this movie.

Father Jiao is not a star chaser, and he has no impression of Wei Wen and Shi Xiaotian, so he wrote down the names in his heart and planned to look them up afterwards. After all, his cat is going to film with those people. How is your cat treated? Although he has never filmed before, he has also heard of many small tricks on the set. If he is not careful, he may be bullied by others. His cat is not a human being, so it is impossible for him to speak out when he is wronged.

Kong Han and Yang Yi chatted with Papa Jiao here for a while, and when Papa Jiao nodded, the two breathed a sigh of relief, then took out the contract that had been drawn up a long time ago, and let Papa Jiao have a look.

Over the past few years, many contracts have been signed because of Zheng Tan, and Dad Jiao has also gained experience, so he carefully read the terms of the contracts.

There is no trap in the contract, just like what Yang Yi said on the phone, it will not let his cat suffer.

There is basically nothing wrong with the contract, but... Dad Jiao didn't sign it directly after reading it, but looked at Yang Yi and said, I hope I can add something to it, or sign a supplementary agreement.

Yang Yi nodded and signaled Papa Jiao to continue, as long as he could sign the supplementary agreement, it would be fine.

The supplementary agreement proposed by Papa Jiao is actually a confidentiality treaty about Zheng Tan.

Same as before, although Dad Jiao agreed with Zheng Tan to act, he also knows some commercial means. If his cat really becomes popular, it will be beneficial, but the trouble may be even greater. But it's also impossible to prevent Zheng Tan from hiding his identity. If he can't use his real name, he can use a pseudonym. To put it mildly, it's called a stage name.

Zheng Tan has a stage name BlackC, or BC for short. This person is already well-known in a certain circle on the Internet, but if he uses it, it may be picked up directly on the Internet without Yang Yi and his hype, and it will still attract more people. much sight. I heard that celebrities always wear glasses and masks when they go out on the street. Do you have to worry about being surrounded by people when your cat goes out for a walk? Even if the movie doesn't become popular by then, Dad Jiao still doesn't want to take risks, so there are some things that need to be prepared in advance to prevent them from happening.

Renamed again? After hearing Father Jiao's explanation, Yang Yi couldn't understand why everyone wanted to be famous, but this family had such an attitude, low-key? Why bother? Yang Yi can say with certainty that as long as the publicity is good and the operation is done properly, this cat will definitely become a hit. Not to mention the fact that it is worth noting that it can be compared to the best actor and actress among the stars, but a famous little star may not be able to compare with it. After all, there is no such well-known animal star in China now, even the monkey named Qi Dada who has been active in TV dramas recently can't compare. However, on the other hand, this family is really kind to the cat, and this is also for the cat.

Of course, no matter what Yang Yi's thoughts are, the additional agreement still has to be signed. This agreement is not too much, even some artists have changed their names several times. As long as the cat can understand it, it's fine. Don't go to the set at that time, and it will be troublesome if you call it out.

After thinking clearly, Yang Yi nodded, Okay, then Professor Jiao, what stage name do you think your Heitan is going to change?

ZT. The letter Z, and the letter T. Papa Jiao drew the shape of two letters in the air with his fingers.

ZT? Both Yang Yi and Kong Han wondered, why do you call this kind of name that sounds like a simplification?

Yes. Papa Jiao said. In fact, he himself is helpless, this is not his choice, he has always been very democratic.

The name ZT was given by Zheng Tan directly on the keyboard in front of Jiao's computer after Jiao's father said that he needed to change his stage name. Jiao's father even asked Zheng Tan what it meant, but Zheng Tan pretended Stupid, Papa Jiao didn't go into it too deeply, he just assumed it was a random letter.

After everything was negotiated, Kong Han and Yang Yi left, rejecting Jiao Mama's invitation to stay with them for dinner. They still have something to do in the evening, and a few people here will go over for a while.

The four members of Jiao's family know about Zheng Tan's going to act in a movie, but Dad Jiao said, we just need to know it ourselves, don't go out and talk nonsense.

Jiao Yuan and Xiaoyouzi have dealt with similar situations many times, so they naturally understand the meaning of this. However, knowing that their cat is going to be in a movie, the two children still can't restrain their excitement. They always get together to discuss, and Jiao's mother sometimes joins in the discussion It can be seen that they are looking forward to Zheng Tan, which makes Zheng Tan more confident. The decision is right.

Yang Yi and the others said that the filming will start in September, and it's still early, but during the summer vacation, the four of Jiao's family and one cat get together more, and when it comes to September, they will have to be separated from Zheng Tan for a while, and it will definitely be better than last year's filming Documentaries are even longer.

Since Zheng Tan decided to make a movie, Xiao Guo had to say hello.

Before Zheng Tan left Chuhua City, Xiao Guo stayed with Zheng Tan to work overtime a few times. Of course, overtime pay was indispensable. Therefore, in August, Zheng Tan came to the pet center to work overtime more frequently.

At the same time, Yang Yi's documentary gave Xiao Guo an inspiration, and Zheng Tan would be absent for a while, so Xiao Guo wanted to make another documentary. Yang Yi has already made a regional documentary, and Xiao Guo plans to do an age one.

What Xiao Guo wants to shoot is a documentary about old cats, and the standard of old cats, although seven or eight years old is considered an old cat by many people, but judging from the treatment records of the pet center and some pet files, it is more than seven years old. There are still a lot of cats. Therefore, Xiao Guo changed the age limit of this documentary to 10 years old and above.

Isn't it advocating harmony and positive energy now?

This is not bad either. It records some touching stories of people and cats in a documentary way. Being able to live with humans for more than ten years, the feelings in it must be quite deep.

Xiao Guo thought, we are not as rich as Yang Yi, we don't have that level of hardware and manpower, we can't shoot anything that is too literary, but we can go natural and fresh. close to life.

This documentary about the old cat can be shot for a long time. Even if Zheng Tan is absent, there will be something to attract customers and audiences, so as to avoid the influence of rumors on the official website when Zheng Tan went out to shoot a documentary last year. Xiao Guo doesn’t want to Get blocked again.

Now Xiao Guo is preparing for the shooting of Old Cat. First of all, he must contact those customers who have cats of the right age at home. If they refuse to cooperate with the filming, Xiao Guo will not force it. Of course, most of the customers' families are still very happy of.

However, there is also a problem involved. Most of the customers contacted are from relatively good families. These people often come to the pet center to check the cat's body. Xiao Guo naturally knows that the pet center has detailed records, but others There are fewer ordinary families. These families basically don’t take their pets for injections. They probably haven’t even been vaccinated, so they don’t have treatment records, and it’s even more impossible for Xiao Guo to know. He doesn't want to choose all those with good family conditions. If the film is to be more down-to-earth, it has to be more close to the people.

So, after working overtime one day, Xiao Guo casually mentioned something when he was giving Zheng Tan overtime pay in the lounge. Said that Zheng Tan often wanders around, he will always meet some old cats, right?

Zheng Tan really thought of it, the kid named Wang Xing often comes to Chuhua University to pick up bottles now, there are a lot of bottles in summer, and the child's harvest seems to be pretty good. His cat fits the bill.

Zheng Tan brought Xiao Guo to the old community, downstairs of Wang Xing's house, Xiao Guo looked up following Zheng Tan's line of sight, and saw the cat lying on the window sill on the second floor.

The people of Wang Xing's family are easy to persuade. For them, they can give the cat free medical treatment if they are paid for the filming, so why not do it.

After the matter here was dealt with, Zheng Tan led the crew to the crew.

The people were still those who filmed the documentary last year, and Charlie naturally continued to serve as the assistant.

Knowing that Zheng Tan was going to change his stage name to ZT, Xiao Guo went out of his way to put together a set of clothes, sending Zheng Tan's attendants a big letter Z on the hats and T-shirts.

Zheng Tan suddenly felt that the letter was actually a bit ambiguous, and then looked at the big Z on the heads of the followers, really, those who didn't know thought it was Zoro fans.
