Strange Life of a Cat

According to Yang Huaixi, this person surnamed Jiang has some background, and also, the person who was invited by Yang Yi to the film crew, no matter whether it was filming or delivering boxed lunches, was not a simple person. I have long heard that many film crews can not only do their own professional work, but also deal with emergencies such as fires and explosions. They are all great people.

And Mr. Jiang, his job in the crew is to hang the film on the camera for shooting. After shooting, he studies the movements on the film, cuts out the unsuitable ones, and then connects the satisfactory sections for everyone. look.

During filming, I heard from Yang Huaixi that Mr. Jiang once called an actor to stop when he was acting because he was going to change the film. Another time, when an actor was acting in a scene where he was fighting a spy and successfully killed the spy, he called to stop again, because he didn't see the actor's knife clearly, and asked the actor to kill the spies again.

The actor and the spies lying on the ground covered in blood both wept silently.

So some actors would ask him before acting, Mr. Jiang, have you hung up enough film? or Can you move the camera to a place where I can see my movements clearly.

But unfortunately, this person has his own ideas, and it is difficult for others to change his decision. Of course, if it is a big-name actor, he will not stop, he will only cooperate, and the young actor, sorry, I still listen to Jiang The teacher's words.

Zheng Tan walked up to that Teacher Jiang and looked at this person. He wanted to know about this person's temper, and what this person thought of Ronald and himself. Otherwise, it would be difficult for Teacher Jiang to yell to stop at an inappropriate place.

The person who was fiddling with the camera noticed Zheng Tan's gaze, looked sideways, and was puzzled when he found that it was the cat Mr. Yang had mentioned. What does this cat want to do? Could it be that he came to establish a good relationship with himself before acting like several other actors?

Thinking of this, Mr. Jiang shook his head with a smile, amused by his own thoughts, then turned around and continued to fiddle with the camera. After a while, he found that the cat was still beside him, and seemed to be watching him fiddle with the camera with interest.

Do you understand? Teacher Jiang turned around, facing the direction of the cat, and looked at the Z cat sign on the black cat's neck, Z, right? It's not your time yet, while sleeping go.

After a pause, Teacher Jiang took out a bag of unfinished biscuits, squatted down and handed it to the black cat, only to find that the other party took a critical look, then turned and left.

Hey, is this disgusting? Teacher Jiang said to the person next to him, Is that disgusting look in its eyes just now?

……Seems to be.

Seeing Yang Yi walking over, Teacher Jiang told him what happened just now.

Yang Yi looked at the leaving figure of the black cat, smiled and said to Teacher Jiang: What do you think of that cat?

Very good, suitable for this play.

Although Zheng Tan walked away, he kept his ears open, paying attention to the movement over there. After hearing the conversation between Mr. Jiang and Yang Yi, Zheng Tan felt relieved. This person doesn't hate cats, and his evaluation of himself is not bad. Coupled with Yang Yi's reasons, he probably won't stop himself by then. As for Ronald, the surname Jiang didn't mention it, so I don't know his opinion for the time being.

A one-and-a-half-hour movie, more than a hundred scenes, hundreds of shots, and some shots.

The games are not arranged in order, Yang Yi and Kong Han have their own arrangements.

During the period since the filming started, Zheng Tan watched the scenes of the two protagonists, as well as the scenes of Ronald, Tao Qi, Xue Ding and others. Except for the fact that they were more NG due to nervousness and discomfort at the beginning, in the next few days Everyone is fine, and Kong Han didn't make a bad face.

Although Zheng Tan didn't like to see Ronald, he was really good at acting. I don't know if it was because of his true nature that he played a rich second-generation character who was somewhat arrogant and arrogant. His acting was not bad.

The scene being filmed now is about the male lead, the female lead and Xue Ding. As the neighbor of the male lead in the play, Xue Ding also plays a supporting role not infrequently.

Zheng Tan squatted next to Yang Yi, listening to Yang Yi chatting with Lao Wang in a low voice. There was no one else here, and their whispered chats would not be heard.

The supporting role is not bad, he wasn't overwhelmed by the two protagonists, and he didn't steal the show, and his acting skills were not bad, Lao Wang said. He doesn't use a lot of professional language to comment, just put it simply.

Wei Wen and Shi Xiaotian have that talent, plus they have received professional education and training, and have experience in acting. There is no doubt about their ability. Without that ability, Kong Han would not let them play the leading role. What is surprising is that Xue Ding, who is usually inconspicuous, has been praised by Kong Han and Lao Wang. The so-called not bad is already considered high in Lao Wang's evaluation.

The newly dug one is a group performer. Yang Yi said. Although it couldn't be seen on the surface, it could be judged from his tone that he was quite satisfied with Xue Ding's performance.

One of the reasons why Hollywood movies sweep the world lies in the actors. They not only have an international star team, but also have hundreds of thousands of contracted professional and semi-professional actors. The pedestrians on the street, soldiers in battle, tourists on the beach, and diners in restaurants that appear in Hollywood movies are almost all played by professional or semi-professional actors, not random passers-by. Even if you specialize in extra work there, you can earn a middle-class income. This large and high-quality team of extras is an important part of the power of Hollywood actors.

Similarly, domestic films also have a team of extras with more than 100,000 people, which is what people in this circle often call North Drift and Horizontal Drift. However, the level of domestic extras is lackluster, and they generally have not received professional education. Most of them do not have the basic quality of actors, and they are out-and-out props in filming work. Most extras cannot catch the eyes of those professionals, but there are also a small number of extras who can master certain acting skills through long-term practice accumulation, which brings surprises to people, such as Xue Ding.

When he was abroad, Yang Yi specially observed the filming there, and after he came back, he also went to some shooting scenes to see the extras, and Xue Ding was discovered by Yang Yi at that time, and he observed it for a while afterwards. Time, finally decided to sign.

Yang Yi likes to dig.

The older generation of performing artists once said that there are only small actors on the stage and no small roles. Even if there is only one line, you must perform well. Even if you play a supporting role or a secondary role, the hard work and dedication The enthusiasm should also be comparable to playing the leading role. Yang Yi said, Once I found out that in order to play the part of a criminal policeman, that kid just practiced the action of drawing a gun hundreds of times.

Yang Yi took a fancy to Xue Ding's earnestness.

There are so many actors every year, most of them have received systematic training, even if they are professional, but after a few years, some are very famous, some are unknown, some are superb acting skills, and some are just pretending.

Character and ability are not directly proportional, and fame and talent are not always directly proportional.

Have you heard a word? Yang Yi asked.

What?

Stupid people can't do stupid kung fu, stupid kung fu is what smart people do.

Old Wang laughed and said nothing. He was recognized as a scumbag back then, but looking at it now, many of those classmates back then, those peers who were once high-spirited, are still working day and night for a house.

Zheng Tan was beside him thoughtfully.

Another week passed, and finally it was Zheng Tan's turn.

From the day before, Charlie was more nervous than Zheng Tan, which made Yang Yi amused.

Of course, in the eyes of many people, cats are not nervous, and they don’t realize what they are going to do next. Naturally, it is Charlie who is nervous.

Charlie wanted to cry but had no tears.

After arriving at the set, Charlie once again told Zheng Tan about the part he was going to play today.

After a scene with Wei Wen and Shi Xiaotian, after a short break, Zheng Tan's scene started.

Charlie clutched the script, his palms were sweaty, and the paper of the script was crumpled.

The people around stretched their necks to watch, and the actors who had just finished filming the last scene didn't leave either. It was their first time performing with a cat on the same stage, which felt very novel, and even Yang Huaixi didn't go to show it to Tao Qi Analyzing the characters and lines with Xue Ding, they all stared at this side.

What about cat food? Where is the cat food?

Don't you have to prepare food for pet movies? Everyone was puzzled.

Pharaoh took Mika with him, and had a rare close look at it with anticipation.

After receiving Charlie's ok sight, Kong Han signaled everyone to take their places.

action!

After waiting for a few seconds, nothing happened.

The raised lump on the bed seemed to be really asleep.

The people around were also puzzled. Do you have to use cat food to lure it?

Charlie and the others were anxious. Heitan was not like this before. As soon as he shouted, it started. Could it be that he couldn't understand action? It’s not right, Xiao Guo also said “action” sometimes, and also “action” when shooting documentaries, and sometimes he just called “a”, and the cat started the show very cooperatively. What’s wrong today?

Ronald sneered while watching the show, but the manager next to him pulled his sleeves and curled his lips in disapproval.

Kong Han frowned, then looked at Charlie beside him.

Charlie was so nervous that he was sweating all over. Seeing that Zheng Tan didn't cooperate after Director Kong yelled action, Kong Han looked over and panicked. He couldn't care less and said to the other side: Z, start Already!

Over there, it finally moved.

In some messy rooms, on the small bed, leaning against the pillow, a little fluffy pointed black ear protruded from under the thin blanket.

The alarm clock goes off.

The protruding lump on the bed moved, and the tip of the black inverted triangular nose was exposed from under the thin blanket. Probably because of discomfort, several long beards also trembled twice.

The mouth opened and yawned, revealing the white fangs in the mouth.

The tongue with fleshy spines in the mouth that was opened wide from yawning was obviously not human.

The half-opened eyes were hazy after waking up, slightly raised his head and looked towards the direction of the window, because of the light coming in from the window, the pupils in his eyes narrowed from ovals to narrow shuttles, just like those waking up in the jungle. Come Predator.

...

This scene, from waking up to feeling unwell, to standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling mirror, was shot no less than ten times, and they were shot separately. There was also a scene of walking upright, which was also shot several times. If you dare not act directly, you will be treated as a monster. Therefore, Zheng Tan pretended to be stupid and stopped acting at all or did not act according to the script, Kong Han would naturally call out.

But what Zheng Tan didn't know was that, in the eyes of Kong Han and many others, this was enough trouble. After the filming of this scene, the people around were full of praise, and Zheng Tan's face became hot when he heard it. .

I'm really... so sorry.
