Strange Life of a Cat

Chapter 313 - 313 306

?Chapter 313: 306 Chapter 313: 306 Zheng Tan knew before arriving that Mr. Jiao had told him to play dumb when necessary.

What did “when necessary” mean?

For instance, if he didn’t want to shoot something, work with someone, wasn’t comfortable with the location, felt unwell, or had a sudden urge to pee, he could play dumb. Pretending not to know how to act or just rolling around on the spot would suffice. After all, who could expect too much from a cat? The production team certainly couldn’t. Let Xiao Guo’s ample staff deal with the headaches, Zheng Tan was sure that Xiao Guo and Mr. Jiao must have their own private agreements, and he’d bet his life on it.

However, this was for his benefit. Zheng Tan understood that being smart was fine, but appearing too clever could arouse suspicion. To avoid unnecessary trouble, sometimes it was safer to seem a little dumb.

There were many scenes Zheng Tan wouldn’t normally shoot, but this time he made an exception and endured. After all, documentaries were different from commercials. This one required a lot of manpower and resources. If Zheng Tan took on the job, he needed to be responsible for it. Besides, those scenes were quite ordinary for cats, and it wouldn’t be justified to refuse to perform.

Zheng Tan felt uncomfortable with the “makeup” on him, and he needed touch-ups now and then. Especially his eyebrows and whiskers, which needed reapplying if they were rubbed off even a little—after all, Zheng Tan’s whiskers were black, while those of the cat in the pictures were white.

Fortunately, Zheng Tan was quite efficient, so the shooting ended up taking much less time than Yang Yi had planned.

The production team thought filming with the cat would take a long time, but the cat turned out to be very cooperative. They believed that the cat’s intelligence was certainly a factor. However, more importantly, it was thanks to the team sent by Xiao Guo who was said to be professionals in caring for cats. During their downtime, the production team members even exchanged experiences with the team members sent by Xiao Guo. Little did they know, the team from Xiao Guo’s side could barely keep a straight face. There were certain truths they dared not divulge, having signed several contracts. They responded exactly as Xiao Guo had instructed them.

Now, Zheng Tan had no idea how well he was performing. He could only gauge whether he was meeting the standards by Yang Yi’s expressions. He would have to wait until the final production was completed to see the actual effect. The elderly man acting alongside Zheng Tan looked somewhat like Yang Yi’s grandfather from the side, of course, also in makeup, striving for resemblance. With some cinematic techniques added, Zheng Tan believed that the final product should satisfy Yang Yi.
