Strange Life of a Cat

Seeing her father wasting her milk, Eryuan yelled "Ah" and "Ah", a little anxious, and couldn't express the meaning too complicated.

Seeing that Er Mao was still staring at the TV, Er Yuan became unhappy, patted the small chair, and expressed his dissatisfaction with his voice.

"dad--"

Hearing Er Yuan's cry, Er Mao finally turned around and handed the milk in his hand to Er Yuan.

"Daughter, that black coal actually went to act in a movie!"

"Brother Hei?" Eryuan didn't quite understand what acting in a movie was, but she knew that the "black coal" her father said was Brother Hei. Like Zhuo Kitten, she and Wei Xiaopang also call Zheng Tan "Brother Hei".

"Yes, yes, it must be that guy. I knew at a glance that other cats could not act like that except Hei Lian, and his eyes looked listless." Ermao said.

Er Yuan was holding a cup to drink milk, thinking about what her father meant by "独占满紧" and couldn't figure it out after thinking about it for a long time. If you don't want to learn, you say to Hei Ge, "Ling bad, bad bad."

Ermao didn't know what his daughter was thinking at all, and was shocked by the movie trailer he just saw. He was busy taking care of his wife and children last year, so he didn't pay much attention to the black coal. Unexpectedly, he was already in a movie!

What a happy life!

After thinking about it for a while, Ermao felt that he still couldn't calm down the sense of curiosity and surprise in his heart, but he couldn't go upstairs to inquire directly. At this time, the cat must be wandering outside, and he might have struck up a conversation with some female cat.

If Zheng Tan knew what Er Mao was thinking right now, he would definitely rush over and beat him up.

Seeing the mobile phone on the table, Ermao picked it up, saw that Eryuan was drinking milk seriously, and asked her to put the cup aside after drinking and then play obediently for a while, if there was something to call, he would go to the next door to make a call.

The nanny was drying the clothes, Ermao walked to the next room after talking to her, closed the door, looked through the address book and called Wei Leng directly.

Wei Ling was at the company's side, checking a few shipping orders, stamping a seal, looking a little tired after reading the list, so he went outside to get some air, and when he heard Er Mao's call, Wei Ling wondered that Er Mao was calling to do something at this time Well. As soon as the connection was made, Wei Leng heard Ermao bluffing on the other end of the phone.

"Brother, did you make it, Black Coal actually went to act in a movie! It's not a pet commercial, it's a real movie, it's a big movie with a few small stars, and it's put on the big screen!"

Wei Leng choked on the word "made", and it took a while to realize what he was talking about.

"Speak well!" Wei Leng said.

Ermao, since his daughter Eryuan could speak, he has often had conversations with her. Although he influenced her and helped her learn a lot of words, Ermao also learned some ambiguous pronunciations and Certain habits when speaking to young children, such as "eating" instead of "eating" and "sleeping" when "sleeping", it's fine if you only say it to your children. Many parents are like this, but Ermao is here Everyone said the same thing when they got together, with some infantile language mixed in, which directly made everyone shake off their goosebumps. When a group of old men were together, they talked like this. Wei Ling wanted to punch him twice when he thought about it. .

However, black charcoal in a movie? He seemed to have heard about this similar news last year. He thought it was just like the commercials in the pet center, and he didn't take it too seriously, but looking at it now, is it true?

"What's your name?"

Wei Leng walked into the office, sat down by the computer, and searched for the movie "Black Cat" according to the movie title that Er Mao said. There is no name of the cat on the cast list, only a few introductions of the actors and the director. However, from what I know from the publicity, what the director told the media is that the black cat that participated in it was borrowed from a friend. The trained black cat, everyone calls it "Z", the breed is unknown.

Seeing this, Wei Leng smiled, "Z", and the species is unknown, it's obviously black charcoal. He was still wearing a vest, and one stage name was not enough, so he made a second one.

While watching, Ermao called again.

"Did you see that black coal?" Although it was an interrogative sentence, there was a certain meaning in it, and Ermao didn't doubt his eyesight at all.

"Hmm." Wei Leng flipped through the webpage while making a phone call. He had just finished watching the trailer posted on the Internet. Anyway, he had nothing else to do at the moment. It just happened to happen to him, so he became interested and wanted to watch more.

"Hey, brother, it's not long before the release date, why don't we organize a group to go to the movies then? Get more box office for Black Coal?" Ermao said expectantly. He doesn't often go to the cinema to watch movies. In fact, there are not many movies that can attract him. When he wants to watch a movie, he searches the Internet. Heh, copyright or something is just a word.

"Okay, let's go together then." Wei Leng was also looking forward to it. As the first batch of people who knew the black cat, Wei Leng knew exactly what kind of virtue the black cat had.

"By the way, brother, can children be brought into the movie theater? I haven't been in the movie theater for too long, and I don't know the rules." Ermao said.

"It seems that there are no restrictions. Do you want to take Eryuan to the cinema? Eryuan is too young, only one and a half years old. Moreover, the sound in the cinema is loud, the air is poor, and the screen is flickering. I am afraid that it will cause damage to the child's hearing and eyes. Influence." Wei Leng recalled what his wife had said before, and relayed it to Er Mao.

"That's it, I'll ask when the time comes." Er Mao actually wanted to take her daughter to the movies. If the child's mother hasn't come back by then, why not go see it by herself? Even with senior brothers and the others, Ermao still hopes to take his daughter with him. Besides, this is a movie performed by Heimei, a binary Heige, why don't you go to the cinema to cheer? But the environment of the movie theater is really not very good.

So, for the rest of the time, Ermao thought about ways to reduce the impact of movie theaters on children.

The members of the Jiao family also knew about the movie's upcoming release, and downloaded the trailer and watched it several times. Unfortunately, the trailer was too short, and they only hoped that the release date would come soon.

Before the release, all parties were busy with publicity, the actors were not big names, and there were quite a few newcomers. In terms of actors, apart from the not-so-great effect brought by those idol stars, there was nothing else. .

director? He is also not well-known. Compared with those well-known directors, everyone is still relatively unfamiliar with Kong Han. However, with new elements included this time, the new gravitational attraction to many people is even greater.

The plot is not novel, but you can watch cats!

Since the trailer was broadcast, many people have analyzed the box office of this film.

Someone satirized the few shots in the trailer, saying that the movie did not know how much money was spent to make such an effect.

As we all know, most of the special effects of domestic movies are unbearable to look at directly. Why are the production costs of foreign blockbusters in the tens of millions of dollars and hundreds of millions of dollars, while domestic productions are much lower? The computer special effects of the former start at $10,000 per second, while those deceptive special effects films in China only cost hundreds to thousands of RMB per second. This cost gap also shows up.

It is reasonable to say that you get what you pay for.

There are many "professionals" in the movie-related forums analyzing, such special effects, the production cost should be tens of millions, right?

"At the beginning, some animal films such as "Cats and Dogs" and "Baby Pig" cost tens of millions of dollars to make. In China, you spent tens of millions of dollars to make an animal film? Is it a waste? No money?"

"Although animal movies are very popular, because the production cost is too high, almost no one in China is willing to do it. I didn't expect Kong Han to make it this time. I have to say that this director is still too young."

"The production cost is tens of millions of dollars. I must go and see it when the time comes. The cat in it is very real, especially the scene in the trailer where it stands up and walks. It is so natural. How much does it cost for computer special effects! "This is for people who love to watch big-budget movies. They will feel too rough for small-budget movies. It belongs to the category of only buying the expensive ones but not the right ones.

Some people go for the cost of production and computer special effects, while others go for the element of "cat".

"I don't know Wei Wen, I haven't heard of Shi Xiaotian, I just want to see the cat inside."

"Anyway, there aren't many movies to watch. It's rare to make a cat movie in China. If you support domestic production, it won't cost you much."

"Hey, that cat looks like my briquettes!" Behind it is a big picture, with the picture and the truth.

Not to mention, the cat in the photo is indeed quite similar to Zheng Tan, but there are a lot of domestic cats that look like them.

In addition to this netizen, there will be some other netizens who raise black cats in succession.

Before the release, all kinds of computer stunt professionals sprayed each other on the Internet, waiting to see the overall effect after the release, and then do follow-up analysis to see who is right and who is wrong. If it is said that there is no behind-the-scenes pusher here, Zheng Tan doesn't believe it either. However, movies, that's all, they have to be promoted and operated before they are released.

What made Zheng Tan the most amusing was that someone teased Yang Yi out.

"I heard that Yixing Culture invested tens of millions of dollars to make a movie this time. Who knows the details?"

"Tens of millions of dollars? Nonsense, how many movies can be made in China with tens of millions of dollars! You are the only ones who believe in those rumors, hype, absolutely hype!"

"Maybe, I think those computer special effects are very well done, maybe it's really good, who made Yang Yi rich, he is willing to spend money."

"Who is Yang Yi?"

"Yang Yi upstairs doesn't even know? The big boss of Yixing Culture, Mr. Qian!"

"Kneel to Master Yang Qian!"

...

Floor 23: "However, how did I hear that the production cost of this film is only a few million, or RMB."

Floor 24: "The idiot upstairs doesn't explain, don't say you are in the same technical forum as me."

Floor 25: "The idiot on the 23rd floor."

Floor 26: "The idiot on the 23rd floor +1."

...

Zheng Tan was delighted to see those people's posts. He didn't know much about the production cost, but he once heard Kong Han say that the production cost of this movie was not high, and it was relatively low-cost production. . If what Kong Han said is true, then those people in the so-called technical forums are all monkeys.

No one believed that Zheng Tan acted in those scenes by himself, especially the movements, eyes and micro-expressions. There was no computer special effects, and there were no so-called stand-in robots. The stand-in cats that Kong Han found were totally useless On the contrary, it also gained weight after being used.

However, no matter what, the movie "Black Cat" was indeed fired up because of the production cost before it was released, and everyone from Yang Yi, Kong Han to the actors and post-production team was picked up. Yixing culture is also known by many people.

The publicity effect has been achieved.
