Chapter 305: Dedication to Art

The rice is still the same as Zheng Si saw at the cat exhibition, still without much expression, as if he was indifferent to the people and things around him, only when he saw it, his eyes widened a little, and his pupils dilated, which made it look a little less sharp.

And millet, this is the first time Zheng Si has seen it after it was taken away, the pattern in his impression, and the mole that is the same as his father, these two characteristics make Zheng Si not admit mistakes.

Unlike rice, Xiaomi saw Zheng Si for the first time since he left, and when he looked at Zheng Si, he was a little puzzled, Zheng Si didn't know if this guy still remembered himself.

Xiaomi's eyes moved with Zheng Si, probably because he felt that the space was too small, he squeezed the rice next to it, and he didn't care if he was slapped on the head by the rice, and continued to squeeze, and the head door was continued to be pumped.

The two cats were crowded in the car window, and Zheng Si was not easy to get in, but the driver in front greeted Zheng Si and jumped in from the front window.

The driver Zheng Si had never seen it, but when he heard him talk to Charlie, he knew that this was the person Fang Shaokang said was helping to take care of him here in the capital. Since they had all said hello in advance, Charlie was also relieved, and after seeing the car leave, Charlie reported Zheng Si's whereabouts to the people in Chuhua City, which was told by the boss Xiao Guo and Professor Jiao.

Over there, Zheng Si, who jumped into the car, was sitting in the passenger seat, with Fang Mengmeng and two cats in the back seat, and an unknown person, who was sent by Fang Mengmeng's mother to help take care of the children and cats.

Zheng Si noticed that Xiaomi was wearing a rope sleeve, and the other end of the rope was in the hands of the woman Zheng Si didn't know. Xiaomi's cat brand is hung on a buckle of the rope sleeve, which is quite exquisite. The noose also passes under the armpits of the millet's forelimbs, so that the leash does not allow the cat's neck to bear all the force. However, most of the people who use this kind of rope are more mobile. It's not like that when you look at rice.

As Zheng Si guessed, Xiaomi, a guy with ADHD tendencies, is completely different from the quiet and steady feeling of rice. After Zheng Si got into the car, Xiaomi was very curious at first, and approached and sniffed from time to time, but I don't know if Lu Dao remembered it or felt that Zheng Si was not threatening. Walk around closely. also raised his paw to touch Zheng Si, and moved frequently in the back seat until Fang Mengmeng forcibly pressed it on the seat.

Even if he was lying on his stomach, Xiaomi was not idle. Rubbing around, playing this, playing that. Tail flicking around. I don't know who Lu Dao's character is like. Peanut candy wasn't like that back then, was it?

Another thing that makes Zheng sigh is the size gap.

In Zheng Si's view, peanut candy is one generation lower than him, and rice and millet are one generation younger. Standing next to these two juniors, Zheng Si saw that they all had to look up.

After arriving at Fang Mengmeng's house, Zheng Si realized that he still underestimated Xiaomi.

Zheng Si lay on the sofa and watched Xiaomi play with a tennis ball all over the room, and from time to time provoked Zheng Si on the sofa and the rice on the cat climbing frame, and then was slapped by the two, and he was never tired.

I don't know if I will get into trouble when I shoot at that time. But those are the things that Yang Yi and the filming crew are worried about, and Zheng Si no longer thinks about it.

Fang Mengmeng took a lot of photos of Zheng Si and Mi Mi with the camera, the rice has long been used to it, and Xiaomi doesn't seem to care about the camera, sometimes she curiously leans towards the camera and takes a few big nose photos, and the mole on the side of the mouth is particularly obvious.

Zheng Si didn't stay at Fang Mengmeng's house for long, and was picked up by Yang Yi by car the next day, the filming team didn't have much spare time, and many places still needed to be run-in, but Yang Yi gave Zheng Si a lot of hope.

Many people say that documentaries are the eldest son of cinema and the poor brother of feature films. Just like Zheng Si Zhilu said, not every documentary can be recognized by the public, most of the documentaries have been shelved, and many people have never heard of the name, and even if they have heard of it, they are not interested in watching it.

Many people are not optimistic about Yang Yi's hard work, why don't you want to make a documentary?

Yang Yi didn't care about this at all.

Zheng Si is not a Beijing cat, since he wants to tell the story of the cats in the capital, these stories will definitely not be the real Zheng Si. Authenticity is the essential attribute of documentaries, recording objective things, so that the audience can have a more real feeling, so Yang Yi will not talk nonsense and will not let Zheng Si act in those fake stories.

Zheng Si wants to play the real things that used to be. In other words, Zheng Si wants to play another cat that is no longer in the world, and he has to change his mentality when he changes places.

Compared with twenty or thirty years ago, the current capital has changed a lot, and those scenes and things in Yang Yi's memory cannot be reproduced truthfully, so this also involves a virtual technique through scientific and technological means, of course, virtual does not mean fiction, the story is still real, and the virtual scenes and things of scientific and technological means have also existed in real and have a historical basis, so there are some clips in this documentary that need to use the shooting technique of combining virtual and real to reproduce the real story content.

People have the ability to reproduce the past, and those past events are the scenes that exist in Yang Yi's memory, Yang Yi said that to achieve ideological resonance, Zheng Si felt a little pressured.

Whether it is the lineup or the atmosphere, it is very different from Xiao Guo's studio.

In the process of shooting, pay attention to the control of the light ratio, improve the visual effect of the image, so this requires a higher level of skill of the camera and the photographer, the photographer should ensure the beauty of the image through the adjustment of the light ratio, and can show the content of the shooting to the public at the most beautiful angle. Advanced shooting equipment, skilled photographers, both of which can be seen Yang Yi's attention to this documentary, and the post-production, for the image of the technical processing requirements are also high, to be able to ensure the real shooting content, the image is retouched, so as to enhance the visual effect, which requires the relevant shooting skills to have a strong technical ability.

Sure enough, there is still a big difference between filming pet commercials and this kind of documentary, no wonder Xiao Guo has been neurotic before, and Charlie is always nagging beside him.

Yang Yi told Charlie and their team in the capital about the next few scenes to be filmed, how to move, where to look at the head, how to call it, and so on. Zheng Si listened beside him.

The old man who played with Zheng Si and many people in the filming crew didn't understand Yang Yi's approach, and at the beginning they knew that it was quite difficult when Yang Yi wanted to make this documentary. People are okay, cats, notoriously difficult to serve, much more difficult to serve than dogs, look at the movies about dogs and cats so far and their proportion in the movie, you can know how difficult it is to serve, I don't know how difficult it is to serve cats without filming, so they feel that Yang Yi is still too young and thinks things too simply.

Yang Yi also knew what other people would think, but he learned from Xiao Guo and Professor Jiao. And I saw it myself at the pet center shooting site at the time. All of them made him have great expectations for this cat, which involves the story of his grandfather, and the film itself is of great significance, even if it is not a big-budget movie. It's just a documentary that many people don't look forward to.

Every time Yang Yi photographed animals. I like to guess the mood of the animal at that time through the eyes and eyes of the animals frozen in the photos. Compared to people. Animals are more likely to attract people's attention, in fact, many times, one look of an animal can kill those stars on TV. It's not that they perform better than the stars, but how much impact a glance they can have on the people they meet. Those who love pets, sometimes even if their pet has made a mistake, they are ready to reprimand, and then lose their armor after facing the pet's coquettish or pitiful eyes. The animal's eyes are also emotional.

Although it is a documentary, some still have to be acted, especially Zheng Si who is already playing the cat of another cat this time.

Before the start of filming, Zheng Si wanted to put on makeup.

Yes, makeup.

This is discussed before, a black cat that Yang Yi's grandfather once raised is not a pure black cat, the cat has three white feet, one foot is black, there is a little white on the nose, and there is an inverted triangle white on the chin, compared to the sheriff, in fact, the proportion of white is not much. Zheng Si looked at the photos that Yang Yi took out.

As for the dyeing fuel, it was specially brought by Yang Yi, and I heard that it is harmless, it can be eaten, and it can be washed off. For this reason, Jiao's father also took some to test, and only agreed after getting the results.

Before that, Zheng Si had always thought that dyeing was an easy thing, but when it was time to "put on makeup", he found out that this was not the case. The makeup artist invited by Yang Yi is too conscientious and meticulous, of course, the effect is also very good, Zheng Si is now out of the sky to ensure that many people don't know him, most of the animals recognize the color at first sight, dyed a little white, it changes a lot, and the momentum of all black is also reduced.

Charlie held the mirror and let Zheng Si see, the other Zheng Si was quite satisfied, at first glance he couldn't see that he had put on makeup, the only thing that was depressed was the white under his nose, Zheng Si now thinks that the "mole" of peanut candy and millet looks pretty good, it is better than Zheng Si now. Zheng Si felt that the white spot under his nose was like snot, and it was left directly in his mouth.

After putting on makeup, start shooting.

There are a lot of problems, and you can't know until you start shooting.

For example, what Yang Yi said about how to make a coquettish cry and a defensive cry.

"That...... Black charcoal can't bark, no, it's that it can't make a cat's voice......" Charlie said helplessly.

Yang Yi: What does "...... mean" is "can't call the voice of a cat"?

For this, Zheng Si said that this is indeed beyond his ability, and the average cat meow is enough to choke, not to mention the delicate voice of coquettishness.

Charlie was afraid that this master would be angry, so he hurried over to explain to Yang Yi.

Yang Yi thought about the advertisements he had seen, as if he had indeed never seen this cat meow in them.

Sighing, Yang Yi said: "Forget it, I'll find a way to continue when the call comes." ”

……

"Okay, I'll pick up my socks later...... What's wrong?! Don't hold socks? Hate smelly socks?! Hey, it's new, it's just deliberately old, I don't believe you...... OK, go ahead! ”

……

"Okay, let it squat on the wooden stool and lick its paws later...... What the? Don't lick your paws? How can there be a cat that doesn't lick its paws, and people still suck their fingers...... Got dye? It's okay, the dye can be eaten, and I've eaten it...... Or else it licks the claw that didn't use the dye...... OK, go ahead. ”

……

After one day of shooting, Charlie and several members of the team were also sweating profusely, Zheng Si was not much better, Yang Yi's requirements were too high, and the directors didn't think there was anything wrong, but Yang Yi was not satisfied, and if one was not good, he would reshoot it, probably because he wanted to highly coincide with the clips in his memory.

Zheng sighed and let out a long breath. Forget it, just dedicate yourself to art. (To be continued......)
