Chapter 937: The Folded Ear Cat at the Premiere

Seeing Zhixin Building from afar, Fang Junqi changed his walk to run and rushed towards the school gate.

Hurriedly ran to Zhang Huan, he gasped and said, "Huanhuan, I'm sorry, I'm late!"

When the latter heard this, he put down his mobile phone and looked the other party up and down, "Breathing heavily, but not panting, his face was slightly red, and his forehead was sweatless." Is this like a strenuous exercise and running all the way? Fang Junqi! You pretend to be a little bit like that!"

was stared at coldly by his girlfriend, Fang Junqi felt weak, but he still said his reason according to the plan: "Huanhuan, you listen to my explanation." There is a reason why I am late, just now when I returned the car, I met a child riding a small yellow car, I went over to persuade him a few words, and it was delayed. ”

"Really?" Zhang Wan didn't believe it, "If you say that you acted bravely and saved a life that was almost buried under the car, and then the child's parents pulled you to thank you for all kinds of thanks, and as a result, I ate a meal for half an hour, maybe I still believe it." Now so, hehe. ”

was poked by her like this, Fang Junqi's forehead was faintly sweating. There is naturally a reason for being half an hour late, but it has nothing to do with any child riding a bike, it is all made up by him on the road, but unfortunately his screenwriting skills are too bad.

failed to pass the test in confusion, but Fang Junqi didn't plan to admit his mistake and ask for guilt, he stepped forward half a step forward to pull his girlfriend's hand, and changed the topic: "Time is running out, let's go quickly, I've already called a taxi!"

"Hmph!" Zhang Wan did not resist his hand-holding, but still snorted coldly to express her dissatisfaction.

She doesn't think she's the kind of girl who is insecure and can't wait for her boyfriend to report her whereabouts 24 hours a day, but she still makes this guy angry. It's too late for half an hour for an appointment, and it's unbearable to lie and deceive people.

The latter nervously shrunk his neck, but fortunately the phone that rang suddenly saved him, "Ah! The car is coming, let's go quickly!"

Seeing this scene, the ice and snow on Zhang Huan's face disappeared immediately, and a charming smile instantly bloomed, showing her professionalism as a future hostess.

glared at the other party gently, Zhang Wan warned: "This time I will write it down for you first, and then I will settle accounts with you when I am free." ”

Fang Junqi secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and gave 32 likes to himself and the driver's master in his heart.

As for his girlfriend's autumn reckoning and the three chapters of the law, those are all in the future. Zhang Huan is still very atmospheric and talkative in this regard, and she does not have the habit of ordinary little girls calculating new accounts and old accounts together.

A quarter of an hour later, the car carrying the two men stopped in front of a theater.

Fang Junqi looked outside, turned his head to Zhang Huan and said, "It's good to catch up." Wife, can you make a mistake now?"

"What so much nonsense, hurry up and settle the bill and leave, don't delay other people's masters to do business!"

Hearing this, the driver in the front row said with a smile: "I'm not in a hurry, but your premiere of 'Cat Wars' is about to catch up." ”

Zhang Huan was slightly surprised, looked up and asked, "Master, how do you know, it seems that we didn't say what movie we wanted to watch, right?"

The driver stretched out his finger and pointed to the mobile phone on the dashboard, "Of course I guessed." Originally, I also planned to buy a ticket to go in and see it, but unfortunately the tickets for the premiere were so tight that by the time I went to see it, hundreds of tickets were sold out. ”

"We were also lucky to grab two," Fang Junqi put down his phone and nodded sympathetically.

He is talking nonsense with his eyes open, the cat war is booming, and the premiere tickets are sold out in seconds, if they don't use VIP privileges to book in advance, they can't grab it either.

Zhang Huan was embarrassed to see him deceiving people, so she pushed the door and got out of the car first, and walked quickly towards the entrance of the theater.

Fang Junqi wanted to say a few more words, but when he saw this, he had to get out of the car and chase after him.

After checking the tickets and entering the venue, the two followed several wheelchair audiences and walked into the largest screening hall in the cinema one after another.

On the first day of the new year, "Cat Wars!", which has become popular on Weibo with emojis, officially opened its global release and landed on movie screens in various countries.

According to industry practice, films with promising prospects and sufficient publicity will hold premieres/fan meetings intensively when they are released, inviting the main creative team and friendly stars to participate, hoping to use the star effect to attract more fans and media into the theater and contribute to the box office.

The cat war is hot, and Bee Shadow will naturally not be stingy to hold a few more premieres. And everyone is also very face-saving, although only the supporting role stand-ins attended the event, Quancheng fans still bought all the tickets on sale, which fully shows everyone's strong interest in this rare domestic pet-themed emoji movie.

As soon as she sat down in her own empty seat, Zhang Wan saw a big-headed kitten walk onto the stage, pick up the topic and come to the hood, and loudly announce the start of the premiere.

Conventionally, the premiere usually allows the director and the lead actors to go on stage to play interesting stories, make games, and pour chicken soup to satisfy everyone's gossip psychology.

However, there are some exceptions to the cat wars, this movie stars cute cats from all over the world, and they don't like the taste of pet consignment boxes, so they only attend premieres or meet-and-greets near their localities, and other local events can only be replaced by supporting characters and stand-ins.

The stand-in is a one-to-one high-imitation model of cute cats, based on the animal stand-in platform of digital creatures, with realistic artificial hair and flexible action steps, and then used to make up for the details with real CG special effects, which is enough to replace the animal actors to complete the shooting of most action shots. The combination of real shooting, models, and CG gives rise to a fantasy flavor that looks quite credible "Cat Wars!".

Although this is a pure cat movie, and the human characters are just foils for cats, it still has a large number of human characters, acting as cat owners, family members, and passers-by. There are not only old drama bones, but also popular stars, and ordinary people who play in their true colors, and all of them are cat lovers without exception.

The crew placed special emphasis on "acting in their true colors" in casting, and formed a crew composed of all cat lovers and their cat pets. The cat actor and the actor's cat were mixed together, creating a lot of jokes and troubles, and the relevant stills and tidbits were released, which moved the audience very much. After all, those who like this movie and specially buy tickets to attend the premiere are also cat lovers, at least potential cat owners.

For this reason, the organizers deliberately made the premiere a "cat blind date", inviting five "cat owners" to the stage one by one, introducing their cute cats and sharing various interesting facts related to it, interspersed with various jokes and interactive performances generated during the filming of the film, which attracted bursts of laughter from time to time.

"Next, the last cute cat will be on the field, its breed is Scottish Fold, only two years old, a lovely and demure lady named Janice. ”

The host with a cat hood was talking on it, but the audience was confused.

Although most people haven't seen the feature film yet, they don't know a lot about this movie, the main characters and wonderful passages of the film have been made into emojis and spread around on the Internet, and there is not a single Scottish Fold cat in it!

Zhang Huan was also puzzled, turned her head and asked, "What's going on? I haven't heard that there is a cat with folded ears in the movie?" Or is it a standing ear folded ear?"

"Maybe," Fang Junqi also didn't know the inside story, so he had to echo casually.

The Folded Ear Cat is a relatively new breed, which first appeared in Scotland in 1961, because of the abnormal cartilage development caused by genetic mutations, this cat's ears cannot stand up, so it was named the Scottish Folded Cat.

The Fd gene that causes folded ears is not a completely dominant gene, so there are also Fd carriers with normally erect ears, and this kind of cat is called "upright ears and folded ears". For folded ears cats, the standing ears are obviously a failed shape, in addition to being used to breed the next generation, there is only one left to be manually eliminated, or to impersonate other cats There are two ways to go, and there are some vertical ears on the market.

However, in the next moment, their speculation was shattered by reality.

"Now, please welcome Janice and her owner with a round of applause!"

The audience has come back to their senses and realized that they have encountered easter eggs that have not been exposed before, and they have applauded, but more people have taken out their mobile phones and pointed at the stage.

Under the gaze of hundreds of pairs of eyes, a middle-aged woman walked up to the stage, holding a gray-backed and white-bellied folded ear cat in her arms, its ears were collapsed!

Because of its round head, small ears, big eyes, and tender mouth, the folded ear cat has obvious characteristics of "juvenile continuation", and its appearance is full of cuteness, which is loved by many people. The director hugged the stage on the stage, all of which have the advantages of a cat with folded ears, and as soon as it was put on the ground, he climbed onto the cat climbing frame on the side, squatted at the highest place and played a little ha, which looked very cute and cute.

took the microphone handed by the host, and the lady holding the cat said hello: "Hello audience friends, I am the director of this film." First of all, I want to correct that I am not the owner of Janice, and the real Janice has also passed away. ”

"Ahh

The female director continued: "Many friends may have guessed that Janice is the Internet celebrity who died of genetic hypochondriasis on Twitter. Its owner was very sad to be hit, and in order to prevent more people from going down this sad path like her, he became an anti-folded cat person. For this reason, she specifically contacted us and asked us to remove Janice's scene. ”

"We respected her decision and completely removed the scene of the folded ear cat. The reason why I picked up its stand-in today is that I don't want the labor of the special effects engineer to be wasted, and I also want to appeal to everyone on this occasion not to buy folded cats, and those that have been raised are also checked regularly and treated as soon as possible. ”

Hearing her say this, Zhang Huan's first reaction was to take out her mobile phone and start searching for information about folded ears cats.

Then put away the phone with a tangled face, just looking at the photos and videos, the folded ear cat is undoubtedly a very cute and very beautiful cat breed. But the genetic diseases on their bodies discouraged her, and she expressed distress for these cute cats.

Noticing his girlfriend's expression, Fang Junqi stretched out his finger and pointed to the "machine folded ear cat" on the shelf, and said in her ear: "True folded ears will fracture, but the machine will not." ”

The folded ear cat is beautiful, cute, quiet and temperamental, but it is full of "Lin Daiyu among cats". Every folded ear cat, regardless of whether the bloodline is pure or not, whether the ears are lying down or not, will eventually suffer from "folded ear cat osteomalacia", and gradually develop symptoms such as bone spur rheumatism, joint deformity, tail lesions, and easy fractures, which will lead to the death of the cat if it deteriorates further. This is a genetically induced genetic disorder that cannot be avoided unless it is a false folded ear.

At first, people did not know the root cause of the problem, but based on observations, they concluded that "do not fold the ears with folded ears" and "it is better to castrate and sterilize" two prevention opinions, which can delay or reduce the probability of osteomalacia attacks.

Later, with the deepening of genetic research, scientists found that this disease is caused by the "folded ear gene Fd", which causes abnormal chondrogenesis and then produces the trait of "folded ear". However, cats not only have cartilage in their ears, but also have cartilage in their noses and joints, and they can also suffer from achondroplasia.

If you want to eradicate "folded ear cat osteomalacia", you must remove the Fd gene, but without it, the folded ear trait will disappear, and the folded cat breed will be extinct. Therefore, pet associations in some countries have canceled the breed certification of folded ears cats, and instead called for breeding and breeding folded ears cats, so that this subspecies derived from genetic mutations will naturally disappear.

Due to the relationship between the folded ear gene Fd is not a completely dominant gene, the time of appearance of these diseases is uncertain, some kittens are born with abnormalities, some grow to a few months before the disease occurs, and some can live to several years. The existence of the latter two situations makes the breed of folded ears still have commercial value, and it is just the wishful thinking of a few people to resist the ban or something.

But for the owner, the death of the cat's stubborn disease is undoubtedly a huge trouble and blow.

When there is no disease, all kinds of soft sprouts are lively, and once the disease occurs, it will get worse and worse, prohibiting private breeding, castration in advance, regular X-rays, and seeking medical drugs can only delay and alleviate these diseases, but they cannot eradicate them, and eventually they will inevitably die. The illness and death of a cat that has been with you for a few years can easily lead to the owner of a folded ear cat "hating out of love" and embarking on the road of resisting and opposing the folded ear cat, and the owner of Janice is a typical example of this.

probably knew that the occasion was wrong, and the female director did not stay on this topic for long, but instead talked about the interesting things about the shooting, which also made the somewhat depressed audience get excited again.

Seeing that the atmosphere was almost over, she glanced at the host, who nodded knowingly, loudly announced the end of the blind date ceremony, and began the feature screening. Soon, the theater was filled with the sound of cats meowing and laughter.

The cat emoji is popular, and the audience has more or less seen the relevant pictures, many of which also have plot clips. However, those few seconds of clips are not systematic, there is no cause and effect, and the lines are incomplete, until today after watching the complete story, the audience finally figured out what was going on, and they let out a knowing laugh.
