Chapter 496 Movie Dream
The German shepherd in cage No. 9 is named Beibei, and he is also a police dog.
Fu Tao rubbed Beibei's neck, and proudly said to Zhang Zian and Lao Yang, "Don't think that your dog is the only one who has made movies, I don't care! See? This dog has also made movies!"
Zhang Zian didn't quite believe it, how could a dog who had been in a movie end up here?
"Really?" He thought Fu Tao was joking, "Which movie was it made in?"
"Of course it's true! Can I lie to you about my age? The name of the movie is... the name is..."
Fu Tao showed embarrassment, patted his head and thought for a long time, and said: "Oh, look at my memory, I really can't remember...Anyway, it was really acted, I won't lie to you!"
Feimasi saw Beibei's memory and knew that Fu Tao's threatening words were true, and that Beibei had actually made a movie.
Beibei is very ordinary in training. After becoming a police dog, his performance is mediocre. Like Luo Luo, he is a very ordinary police dog. He has never done any meritorious service or received any awards. He has no special experience in his police dog career except helping his master maintain law and order and catching thieves.
It should have spent its life so plainly, and then retired safely.
However, one day, Beibei's police force received a notice from their superiors, asking them to take the police dogs in the police force to an audition to assist a certain crew in filming.
Unlike the "War Dogs" crew, this crew has already selected the dog who will play the leading role in advance, and the police dogs who came to audition are all supporting roles.
Beibei's overall quality is not outstanding, and its owner doesn't think it will be selected, but what is surprising is that Beibei was actually selected, not as a supporting role, but because its appearance is very similar to the protagonist, Was chosen as a stand-in for the protagonist, appearing in place of the protagonist in some dangerous scenes.
Femas didn't know why Beibei's master agreed, whether it was because of the pressure from his superiors or something, anyway, he agreed and brought Beibei into the film crew.
The attitude of the staff and director of this crew towards police dogs is far worse than that of the crew of "War Dogs". They were filming in summer, and sometimes they encountered sudden heavy rains. When it rained, people went to hide from the rain. They were locked in a cage and exposed to the rain.
The German Shepherd who plays the protagonist is not a police dog, it is said to be selected from the people, but there are rumors in the crew that the protagonist German Shepherd was raised by the producer's relatives, and the purpose of paying for this movie is to make it famous. Therefore, the protagonist Demu's status in the crew is like an emperor. He eats beef for every meal, while the police dogs eat ordinary box lunches or commercial dog food.
Beibei's owner may not want to continue to earn that little salary in the police force,
Instead, he yearns for the entertainment industry that spends money like water. Taking advantage of this heaven-sent opportunity, after he joined the film crew, he surrounded the star actors all day long, obeying the director's orders and never questioning them. He regards Beibei as a testimonial. In order to please the producer, he often belittles Beibei face to face, and praises the protagonist Demu to the sky. He even volunteers to let Beibei appear in some dangerous scenes.
Beibei didn't know anything about it, and it faithfully carried out the master's orders, whether it was to let it go up the mountain or into the sea, whether it was to get into the grass full of thorns, insects and ants or to escape from the burning room, it did not hesitate to let it go. Finished, just waiting for the compliment from the master.
One day, the crew wanted to shoot a dangerous scene. In order to show the hero's bravery and vigor, he had to jump over a cliff. Of course, the hero Demu, who has an extraordinary status, can't put himself in danger, and the important task is handed over to Beibei who acts as a stand-in.
In order to be as realistic as possible, this scene was shot in real scenes. The crew really found a cliff, the distance between the hills on both sides was more than four meters, and there was an abyss underneath.
Of course, the minimum protective measures are still in place.
A protective net was pulled up under the cliff, but in order to prevent the camera from capturing the protective net, the protective net was about five meters away from the cliff.
When this shot was taken, Babe flinched for the first time.
When it was led by its owner to the edge of the cliff, it looked at the abyss below, and backed away in fright. It looked up at its owner pleadingly, whimpering softly, not wanting to jump over.
It was a sunny day, the scorching sun in midsummer, everyone was enduring the sun's exposure, the director was wearing a straw hat, sitting under a parasol, urging impatiently. Someone next to him fanned him.
Demu, who played the leading role, was lying in the shade next to the director, sticking out his tongue to dissipate the heat in his body, watching all this indifferently.
The whole crew was waiting. Beibei's master was not as thick-skinned as Zhang Zian. He tensed his face, his police uniform was soaked in sweat, and scolded Beibei harshly, forcing it to dance. past.
Beibei's body temperature also rose sharply from the sun, but there were no parasols or fans to cool it down. Its memory of this period is vague, and only the owner's scolding is heard in its ears.
It probably knew that it had to jump over this cliff, otherwise its master would be angry, very angry, so it obediently stopped trying to escape.
Following the director's order, the camera started shooting.
However, after taking pictures several times in a row, every time Beibei ran to the cliff, he stopped and looked at his master, as if he was expecting and begging his master to change his mind, and his survival instinct frightened him.
"Is your dog okay? If not, change it quickly, don't waste everyone's time here!" The director slammed the script on the ground and asked sharply.
Beibei's master was ashamed and annoyed. He was so angry that he strode up to Beibei's side and kicked it fiercely.
The poor Bei Bei was kicked and rolled several times on the ground. His body was in great pain, but he didn't dare to resist his master.
"For the last time, if you don't dance this time, don't follow me anymore." Its owner said coldly.
Beibei couldn't understand what he said, but from the master's face, he knew that something was wrong. This is the first time it has seen its owner lose such a temper, coupled with the heat and heat, its brain has been blinded.
Just like that, Beibei succumbed and accepted her fate, her obedience to her master overwhelmed her survival instinct.
The camera starts shooting again.
This time Beibei didn't stop in front of the cliff. Its eyes were only on the master standing on the other side of the cliff. He opened his arms to it. As long as he jumped over and fell into his arms, he would definitely be forgiven by his master.
Beibei took off from the edge of the cliff, as if flying through the clouds, his body drew a beautiful parabola in the air, and fell to the other side of the cliff.
The distance of four meters can be skipped in normal training, but it is impossible for Beibei to take off from the edge of the cliff, so he always has to take a step or two in advance. It may be that the hot high temperature affected its state, Beibei jumped a little closer than usual, but barely landed on the other side of the cliff.
Seeing that it was done, the crew breathed a sigh of relief.
However, no one expected that the stone on the other side of the cliff seemed to be solid, probably due to years of wind and sun, but in fact, hidden cracks had formed inside due to the temperature difference between day and night, and it was caused by the force of Beibei's fall. The impact, the stone surface on which its hind legs stepped suddenly collapsed!
Several rocks crashed and rolled off the cliff.
Beibei didn't have a firm footing, and suddenly staggered, her hind legs hanging in the air and unable to push. Its two front legs grasped the crevice of the stone like a life-saving straw, and its hind legs planed and kicked on the cliff, struggling desperately to survive.
In order to avoid affecting the shooting of the camera, its owner stood about five meters in front of the cliff and hurried forward to hold it.
"do not move!"
But the director jumped up from the chair and called him excitedly, "Who told you to go, did I call cut?"
Beibei's master was stunned, obedient to the director so he didn't go to rescue Beibei immediately.
The director excitedly picked up the walkie-talkie and asked the photographer, "Has this shot been captured? What a thrilling shot, what a surprise, it must be shot in its entirety!"
The photographer made an OK gesture from a distance, and the director sat back on the chair in satisfaction and shouted: "Cut!"
Beibei's master took three steps at a time and rushed to the edge of the cliff to hold it, but it was one step too late, and Beibei had exhausted all his strength in the struggle.
Just a little, just a little bit before he could hold it.
come down.
In Beibei's memory, its field of vision switched to the endless blue sky, like swimming in the air. The owner's outstretched hand is getting farther and farther away from it, and the falling process is as beautiful as slow motion.
It didn't feel scared, but was very happy, because it saw the concern for itself in the eyes of its master.
The master has finally forgiven me, it thought.
The fall was short and long.
Then, it fell heavily into the protective net, and its front leg hit a rock that fell off the cliff before but was blocked by the protective net. It broke with a snap, and the broken bone pierced the skin, exposing blood.
Beibei's wailing echoed repeatedly between the cliffs.
The most ironic thing is that this movie doesn't have a single winner.
Bei Bei was not the only police dog present, and there was not only one policeman with a dog present. Someone reported its owner to the police superiors. The evidence was solid, and its owner was expelled from the police force for dereliction of duty.
Every year, 90% of the movies shot in China are rotten in warehouses and never get into theaters, and this poorly made movie is one of them.
The investment of the producer and the ambition of making the protagonist Demu popular were all in vain.
After Beibei recovered from his injury, his leg was permanently disabled, but he still stayed in the police force and had a new owner. From then on, he only performed simple patrol duties until he retired and was sent to a police dog nursing home.
However, Beibei still misses its former owner. It forgot the kick he kicked it, and only remembered the sincere concern in his eyes at the last moment.
It is also waiting like Luoluo, waiting for its former owner to pick it up.
The former owner's movie dream was shattered, and he was expelled from the police force. Since then, he disappeared and never showed up again.
If there is still a glimmer of hope left for Luoluo, then Beibei's waiting is doomed to be in vain.
Femas unknowingly burst into tears.
