~14 min read 2,666 words

"Suck it! Suck it! Suck it!"
On the dining table of Guan Suisui's house, the sound of noodles being sucked kept coming.
Among them, Uncle Niu Can enjoyed the most.
A bowl of noodles with sausage and eggs was quickly sucked clean by him.
Putting down the bowl and chopsticks, Niu Can took out a napkin and wiped his mouth. He said with a satisfied smile: "I haven't eaten instant noodles for a while. It feels quite delicious if I eat them like this occasionally."
As he spoke, Niu Can pointed to the bowl in front of him and said cheerfully: "Especially the fried eggs, ham sausage, and the handful of soul spring onions, they are definitely the finishing touch!"
After Niu Can finished speaking, he gave Guan Ma a thumbs up.
Guan Ma was a little embarrassed to be praised so much by Niu Can.
He quickly waved his hands: "No, no, it's just that we didn't treat our guests well. I thought Suisui was joking with us, but I didn't expect you to really come."
"Ah, it's not Suisui's fault. It's my fault that I didn't tell you in advance. I took the liberty of visiting you rashly."
Niu Can also waved his hand.
On the side, Tang Mu and Guan Suisui whispered quietly, watching the adults socializing in front of them.
After Niu Can and Guan's parents were polite, they finally changed the topic to Tang Mu.
This is also the main reason why he came to visit today.
"It's like this. The crew of "Stray Cat Bob" is now ready, and filming will start in two days. I came here this time to tell you in advance that I will take Tom to the crew in two days."
After listening to Niu Can's words, Guan's father and Guan's mother looked at Tang Mu with some reluctance.
But after all, this matter has been discussed long ago.
Tom's owner, Tom, has also agreed and signed.
If they regret it now, they will not only breach the contract, but also feel sorry for Niu Can.
Suisui didn'tInstead of thinking so much, he hugged Tom Mu happily and said with a smile, "Okay! I can finally watch a movie starring Tom!"
Guan's mother glanced at her daughter, then looked at Niu Can, and asked with concern: "During filming, can we go visit the cast?"
"No problem at all!"
Niu Can immediately replied: "Originally, the best way to shoot animal scenes is to have the owner present. If my sister Qingqian comes often, I will very much welcome it."
While talking, Niu Can took out his mobile phone and sent the address of the studio to Guan Ma, saying: "The studio is local, not far away."
"If that's the case, that would be great."
Guan Ma breathed a sigh of relief.
"Okay, we can go watch Tom film! I'm looking forward to it!"
Guan Suisui jumped up happily.
Guan Suisui doesn't care much about the crew or celebrities.
But Guan Suisui was quite honored to see Tang Mu make some achievements.
Guan Suisui would also feel very happy if she could hear others exaggerating about their cats.
That feeling is the same as when your own child gets good grades or achieves some great achievement.
After discussing with Guan's father and Guan's mother about joining the group, Niu Can didn't stay in the Guan family for too long.
He just sat there for a while and then left.
By this time, it was already dark outside.
Two days later, Niu Can came to visit again.
This time he is here to pick up Tang Mu and take him to the set.
After all, it was the first time to go to work, so Guan Suisui and the others would definitely follow.
Then they got into Niu Can's car together.
Dad Guan was sitting in the passenger seat, and the two grown men chatted a lot along the way.
Tang Mu also had a deeper understanding of the crew he was going to.
I've said it before.
Because of his hobbies and dreams, Niu Can founded an entertainment company by himself.
This time I bought the remake rights of "Stray Cat Bob" because I wanted to have a good first battle.
Naturally.
The production company of "Stray Cat Bob" is also Niu Can's company.
The entire crew was built with his own money.
There is no capital investment from other companies.
to be honest.
From a business perspective.
Niu Can's approach is irrational and quite unprofessional.
Because no one can guarantee that the movie they produce will be popular or make money.
At this time, it would be the wisest choice to bring in several entertainment companies to share the risks.
And there are more companies settling in.
When the crew encounters certain problems, they can also exchange resources.
The distribution of the finished film is also a big problem.
No matter how good a movie is, it is useless if it is not released.
A good publishing company can undertake both publicity and distribution work.
While ensuring that the film is advertised, it can also ensure that it has a certain film schedule after it goes to theaters.
It's not like you can't even log in to the theater.
Or take a pitiful day trip to a theater.
These things are undoubtedly a big challenge for Niu Can's company.

Of course, Guan's father and mother are not very clear about these various aspects in the film and television industry.
So I just listened from the sidelines.
After all, everyone sees things from different perspectives.
The Guan family also had no investment in the film.
Therefore, most of them still have the mentality of joining in the fun.
​​And they feel that Boss Niu Can is not a fool.
Since you know how powerful it is, you must have considered it in advance before making such a decision.
As laymen, they don't know what to say.
After a while, Niu Can's car slowly drove into the set of "Stray Cat Bob".
Because it is an urban drama.
The plot of the entire play is staged in the city. It does not need to be like a costume drama. It has to be performed in a rented venue in the film and television city.
But in the movie "Stray Cats", the protagonist's loving apartment is a scene that often appears.
So it is still necessary to rent such a room as a shooting base.
Likewise, to save money, shorten the lease period.
Niu Can Tang Mu needs to complete all scenes in the apartment within the lease period.
This is a test for actors.
The same scene.
One second he was heartbroken and in agony, and the next second he was about to show the joy of Fan Jin winning the exam.
This sense of emotional fragmentation requires a professional actor to perfectly grasp it.
Yang Botian wants to become a professional actor, and this is what he needs to experience.
There seems to be no opening ceremony for the movie "Stray Cats".
But Yang Botian is a popular traffic after all.
His first movie was still very eye-catching.
Reporters in the entertainment industry are all very knowledgeable.
Even though Niu Can didn't release the news, they still learned the news.
One by one, they gathered at the entrance of the crew and aimed their guns at a nanny car in the parking lot.
The person in the nanny's car was none other than Yang Baitian.
At this time, he waved his hands and tried to persuade these entertainment reporters to leave.
But it doesn't seem to be of much use.
Niu Can's car drove in and parked.
The car door opened, and Niu Can and Guan Suisui's family got out of the car.
When the crew members saw that the director had finally arrived, they all had a backbone and came over to see what Niu Can's plan was.
Niu Can was surrounded by people and turned to lookHe glanced at the group of reporters, waved his hands and said, "If you want to film it, let them film it. It will just give our drama a little more visibility."
With that said, Niu Can waved to call a confidant and said: "Remember to send some red envelopes."
The man nodded and turned to do things.
These red envelopes are also part of the reporter's income.
Don't ask them to say nice things, but don't just talk nonsense.
If they don't do things even after receiving money, it will damage their professional reputation over time.
On the contrary, you can't make any money.
Most people are not that short-sighted.
as expected.
After receiving the red envelopes, the reporters' attitudes changed obviously.
The originally chaotic scene became much calmer.
Yang Baitian also got off the nanny car at this time. After seeing Niu Can and the others, he immediately ran over with surprise on his face.
Seeing his starring role, Niu Can also smiled.
Hey, this kid is quite sensible, and he even knows how to come over to greet him.
In the end, Yang Botian ignored Niu Can and ran directly to Tang Mu with a big bow: "Master Cat! Please take care of me next time!"
Tom Mu was startled at first, then he raised his chest and raised his head, like a big brother, and patted his chest to express that there was no problem.
"Hey, Tiantian, haven't you seen me?"
Niu Can reminded him somewhat unhappily.
However, Tiantian was not in a hurry to say hello to Niu Can. Instead, he went to greet Guan's father and Guan's mother first.
This boy's inner preference for Tom Mu was simply unstoppable.
"Hey! What a great director!"
Yang Baitian waved to Niu Can.
"You just think of me now, don't you?"
Niu Can patted Yang Baitian's head gently.
"Okay, get ready, it's getting late. After the opening ceremony, we will start filming."
The things that need to be prepared for the power-on ceremony have been prepared for a long time.
Now I'm just waiting for director Niu Can to arrive.
The so-called power-on ceremony.
The earliest tradition is from Xiangjiang.
That is to say, choose a good and auspicious day and hold a worship ceremony.
As we all know, the religious atmosphere in Southeast Asia, Hong Kong, and Taiwan is actually quite strong.
There are many people who believe in ghosts and gods.
The film and television industry started early because of the development of science and technology.
It is also different from the current complete digitalization.
In Xiangjiang, which is still in the film era, what we fear most is something happening to the film.
Therefore, every time before starting the machine, the machine will be covered with a red cloth in order to "suppress evil" and protect the machine from scratching.
The shooting went smoothly.
Just for psychological comfort.
Finally, this tradition was brought into the inland because of the movement of film and television talents from Xiangjiang to the north.
Nowadays, many crews also hold startup ceremonies in order to get a good start.
At the same time, this ceremony can also be used to invite reporters and announce that their crew has started filming a new drama.
At this time, the crew of "Stray Cat" has prepared everything needed for the opening ceremony.
Everyone in the crew is arranged in order according to their positions.
In front of everyone is a long table.
The desk was covered with red velvet cloth, and a statue of Guan Gong was enshrined on the table. On both sides were incense burners, roasted suckling pigs, fruits and other items.
On the side of the table is a camera covered with red cloth.
At this time, the reporters outside had also set up their cameras.
After the worship was over, according to the procedure, the main creative staff of the production team also spoke.
But at this moment, Yang Botian suddenly stopped the power-on ceremony.
Amid everyone's puzzled gazes, Yang Botian looked at Niu Can and said seriously: "Director Niu, since you want to worship God, why not worship Lord Cat? I think Lord Cat will be more spiritual."
"Hiss..."
Yang Botian's idea was so bold that Niu Can couldn't help but take a breath.
But then, Niu Can felt that the idea seemed pretty good.
So he nodded and agreed.
The two murmured for a while, and finally, under the puzzled eyes of everyone, the statue of Guan Gong was removed from the table.
Then Tang Mu, who looked confused, was placed on the table.
"Good guy! Are you worshiping cats instead of gods? You are truly worthy of the cast of "Stray Cats"."
"Marketing hype, right?"
"What the hell, we have content to post anyway."
The reporters around were talking a lot.
But Niu Can and the others were not affected at all.
People who don't know Tom Mu certainly don't know what they think.
I feel that worshiping Tom is useful, but they are serious about it.
In this regard, other members of the crew were also puzzled.
But after all, it is the decision made by the starring actor and director.
For them, worshiping anyone is not worshiping.
Since Director Niu and the others have ideas, just act according to their ideas.
Squatting on the desk, watching a group of crew members holding incense in their hands and bending down to pay homage to him, Tom immediately rolled his eyes.
But this is not the first time it has become a god.
Very familiar with this matter.
After all, during the time when he was working with Li Ang, Tang Mu had been the Supreme Cat Ancestor.
It can be said to be very professional.
Since these people have already worshiped themselves.
Then I'd better do a little bit of work myself and bless the crew for smooth filming.
Ever since, the cat closed its eyes, looking solemn and precious.
I don't know if it's just a coincidence.
The sun fell from the clouds and formed a circle of light behind Tang Mu's head.
"Click! Click! Click!"
This picture is quiteinteresting.
The reporters took pictures frantically and couldn't bear to miss it.
The opening ceremony is over.
As the staff packed up their things, Niu Can's secretary came over and said, "Mr. Niu, isn't this a bit too childish? Or are you planning to use this topic to create hype?"
"No, you don't know Tom. I have never seen a more spiritual cat than him. It is better to worship him than a god."
Niu Can is very serious.
Yang Botian on the side also answered seriously: "I think so too."
"It's so strange for you to be so superstitious about a cat."
Niu Can's secretary was very helpless.
​But that's about it.

A phone call came suddenly.
The secretary hurriedly picked up the phone.
After listening for a while, the secretary's expression suddenly became very exciting. He looked at Tom Mu who was passing by and was a little surprised.
"Mr. Niu, your phone number."
The secretary handed the phone to Niu Can.
When Niu Can took it, a smile suddenly broke out on his face.
After a while, Niu Can hung up the phone and said with a smile: "The production and promotion matters are settled. I thought it would be particularly difficult, but I didn't expect it to happen on the first day of production."
Yang Botian next to him immediately smiled and said: "It must be the blessing of Mr. Cat!"
"It's really possible."
Niu Can also laughed.
The two laughed and walked away.
The secretary, on the other hand, looked at Tom Mu who was doing nothing, walked over quietly, and knelt down in front of Tom Mu.
Facing the cat's doubtful eyes.
The secretary clasped her hands together and said with a pious face: "Master Cat! May my hemorrhoids heal quickly! I really have nothing to do."
