Chapter 416: The Time of That Generation

The curtain call performance, in fact, Xiao Guo has been thinking about it for a long time, but he has not started it because he is busy with the things at hand, and it just happens that the weather is hot now, and he is at home to escape the heat, so he simply listed this plan.

Several cats in the studio are indeed old, when the studio was not established, they have been in the pet center for several years, some are still adopted stray cats, at that time, because of the epidemic, there were many cats that were thrown away, and some seemingly expensive cat breeds were also willing to be thrown directly on the street, and those who were lucky were picked up by Xiao Guo.

Some of the cats who are about to participate in the curtain call show have been raised here since childhood, such as the American short cat "Prince". There are also a few long-haired cats, they are several years older than Zheng Si's cats, the oldest one is also more than ten years old, not as robust as at the peak, some have wandered outside, and have fallen some disease roots, although they have been well cared for after coming to the pet center, but they are weaker than other cats of the same age.

Every time I shoot, the same scene will probably go back and forth several times, especially now that the audience has higher and higher requirements for the quality of the film, the shooting of the video is also more strict, even if the protagonists in the video are cats, we must try to do less goofs and improve the quality, so that the tasks of the participating cats and dogs will definitely be heavier. This is the reason why the Jiao family doesn't want Zheng Si to come here to participate in the show now, after all, walking by himself is not the same as participating in the shooting, the latter's task in a short period of time is too heavy and too tossed, even if Zheng Si is more trouble-free than other cats, he still has to toss for a long time, and if necessary, he has to go out with him.

Knowing that Xiao Guo was going to have a curtain call and farewell video, Zheng Si also quickly made a decision, planning to "quit the circle" with the prince and them, anyway, there are few people who come to the pet center now, Jiao's mother has long hoped that Zheng Si will put down the things here, and there is no shortage of money. Why do you have to find so many things? Besides, after "quitting the circle", it doesn't mean that Zheng Si won't come here, you can still come over when you're bored.

After finalizing the six cats and two dogs who will "quit the circle" this time. Xiao Guo began to act to prepare for the shooting.

The video of the six cats and two dogs out of the circle was not completed in a day or two. In the form of a documentary, in accordance with Xiao Guo's high requirements. It is estimated that it will last longer, because Xiao Guo wants to follow the season, shoot a little in summer, and shoot a little in late summer and early autumn. When it comes to the autumn and winter, shoot a little more, and the spring one can't be filmed, Xiao Guo plans to find something to add from the previously edited videos.

The video of this withdrawal from the circle was not filmed until the end of the year, and at the same time, Xiao Guo also made some related souvenirs, such as pillows, calendars, postcards, etc., all of which belonged to these six cats and two dogs. When a buyer comes to buy something from the pet center, he will give some related souvenirs to go out.

Before the film came out. The six cats and two dogs, including Zheng Si, have fewer tasks, but they will also participate in the shooting, even if they show their faces, they have to show their presence.

Some netizens and customers of the pet center noticed the change, but they didn't say anything. It's like the older generation in the entertainment industry making way for the new generation, the same principle here. It wasn't until Xiao Guo released the news that the six cats "quit the circle" at the same time exploded on the Internet.

There are a lot of people who mention blackc, and there are also many people who ask about a few others, and even if it is a supporting role, there are many people who like it.

"Curtain call? No way?! ”

"B.C. and Prince, are they old? Have you passed the age of ten? ”

"Generally, seven or eight years old can be regarded as an old cat, and the dog is estimated to be shorter, looking at it this way, it is indeed not young, it is good to retire, take a good rest, there is no need to toss again."

"Seven or eight years old can be considered an old cat? Nonsense! My cats are 12 years old, and they still catch birds every day! ”

"My cat is also fourteen years old, and I saw it scratching rats the day before yesterday."

……

However, everyone complained about it, and it was still very regrettable in my heart, many of whom were old customers of the pet center, and had a deep impression of the first batch of cats and dogs including blackc to shoot advertisements, because, at that time, the "obviously so" pet center rose when the market was not as mature as it is now, bringing a lot of fun and benefits to many pet families. In a blink of an eye, so many years.

At the time of their rise, mobile phones were not so popular, the Internet was not so hot, the pet center was still just an unknown small shop, the studio was poorly equipped, and Xiao Guo was still in a hurry for thousands of shooting fees. If you look at it now, it's changed a lot.

In the video of the curtain call, some images of ng taken in the early years that have not been released have been released, there are pictures and videos, six cats and two dogs, including Zheng Si. Although Zheng Si didn't make many mistakes in the early shooting, other cats and dogs would make mistakes, and there were a few scenes where Zheng Si's helpless expression was when other cats and dogs made mistakes one after another, which amused the audience.

On the screen, the cats will interpret the character trends in the story according to the characters arranged, and the life clips will tell others what they are like in the most real.

Some cats, holding shelves, look like the flower of a kaolin on a distant snow-capped mountain, noble and untouchable, but in fact, you only need to pick a weed and shake it twice in front of it to hook it, and you can turn it into a tease in a second. And some cats look innocent and harmless, amiable, but in fact you want to be close to it and interact with it, but you find that no matter how much effort you spend, it will not help, but it will stand on a high place and look at you like a fool.

Not every cat is like Peanut Candy, with the ambition to become a cat on a cat in the cat world, picking up a field to fight outside all day long, beating a big cat and a puppy, and then fighting a bigger dog after beating a puppy, and occasionally coming back with a few gifts, such as birds, grasshoppers, fat mice, etc. More urban pet cats are active in smaller places and more homely.

The former "prince", after eating every morning, will routinely jump on the long wooden board tied with a circle of hemp rope, scratch from front to back, who calls it ignore, anyway, when it is full, it seems that there will be no catly big things happening, indifferent to the outside world, and then will find a comfortable place to pose and nap after scratching. And now, after eating, it will find a soft place to get in the sun, squint and sleep lightly.

Among the two dogs, Zheng Si has known the old dog for many years - the golden retriever "master" who has won awards at the pet show many times, and its avatar is still used as the outer packaging picture of some dog food produced in the store. In the past, it ran energetically on the green grass, jumping high to catch the frisbee, but now it is just a bowl of its own food, and it can't jump even if it wants to.

Another male dog, who is older than the "main dog", once peed along the way when he was led out for a walk, and told other dogs his age, gender and status through pheromones in the urine, leaving his own "business card". When it sees a good object suitable for marking, it will be majestic, with one hind leg crossed, sprinkle a few drops of dog urine on the target, gouge the ground a few times as if it were proud, roar a few times, and then find the next target suitable for the "marker", which may be a tall tree or a fire hydrant on the side of the road. Now, when he goes out for a walk, he looks more lazy, and he doesn't find targets to mark as often as he did when he was younger, and he doesn't have as much strength to lift his legs, but if there are other, younger male dogs around, he will still pee on one of his hind legs, proving that the knife is not old.

Each cat or dog has its own story and cat/dog life route, Xiao Guo also incorporates his own summary, so that everyone can review the transformation and contribution of these eight from the beginning to the present, of course, Xiao Guo will also use some artistic techniques to reasonably exaggerate and render it to achieve better results.

The final picture of the film is a long road, Zheng Si walks on the road, stepping on the fallen sycamore leaves that have withered and yellowed, and gradually drifts away.

In the final picture, Xiao Guo was taken at Chuhua University, and Zheng Si walked on the main campus road with tall plane trees planted on both sides of the campus closest to the East District compound. When filming, Zheng Si had an illusion that he would not walk like this, he would really be old, and it was clear that his life plus the cat's life was only thirty years.

Everyone has a different person or thing with the word "classic" in their hearts, which is irreplaceable in their hearts, and people with different concepts can even have a blood-stained debate when talking about this topic, first theory and then fists to decide who is the real classic.

Their farewell performance also means the end of an era. Just like the star chasers chasing idols, the time point of the idol's existence symbolizes an era, and when the idol curtain calls, it opens another new era, more newcomers will enter the sight of the star chasers, and more exciting, well-made propaganda and videos will replace those simple and rough low-cost images, and gradually replace the old yellowed figures in memory.

However, after leaving the screen, human stars will have someone to compensate, they have a huge fan base, and many fans will reminisce in a few years, operate it again, interview the retired artists, and take everyone to recall the glory of the past. But on cats, this situation is very rare, people often say that ten years of generation, but for cats and dogs, ten years, may be their life.

Even if it is said well now, no matter how many people on the forum like them to keep them, after all, they are not people, their influence is limited, and in a year or two, there may be very few people who remember them. However, cats may not care about dogs.

As some people once said, in fact, many cats can tell at a glance that you like it or don't like it, but the problem is, it doesn't care at all.

I do my own thing, what should I do, bask in the sun on a sunny day at home on a rainy day.

In high-walled compounds, mansions and villas, or street alleys, warehouses and workshops, or some more ordinary families, in their own way, as they did hundreds of years ago, they go back and forth between the talented and the beautiful, through the slums and the rich areas, and pass by people they know or don't know, and the time is relatively not too long.

People are happy, cats are happy, and life is even happier.

After the curtain call, Xiao Guo hung a framed painting in his office, with eight paw prints, two dog paw prints, and six cat paw prints.
