Chapter 234: Everyone Is Talented
Paul walked past each of them. To ensure the effects were good and to make sure the timing was accurate, Jiang Chengfeng read the narrative out loud. He would be recording it again later:
“Now, I will introduce everyone to my friends. The blonde with green eyes is Daylight, the whitish-gray fur with green eyes is Moonlight. The white fur with different colored eyes is Melon, and as for this dog who has always been disliking me, you can call him any name. Sure, call him ‘fried dog’.”
“Haha~~~” Miao Xiaomei, who was here for her first time, couldn’t help but burst into laughter when she heard this kind of narrative.
Miao Xiaomei’s main job was to do makeup for Ye Ziliang and Liu Man. As the director of “Vet’s Cuties”, Ye Ziliang would be showing his face at the end of the documentary while Liu Man would be showing her face as a special guest. Ye Ziliang chose her because of her identity as a cyber star. His film was going to be a cyber documentary. Under Guo Nan’s stimulation, he needed cyber stars like Liu Man to bring his documentary attention and popularity more than anything.
Liu Man had read Ye Ziliang’s script before. Jiang Chengfeng, who was narrating Paul, would be describing Moonlight’s past as a stray cat. It would correspond with Mr. Hong’s Da Huang.
And she would be showing up in the documentary for ten seconds. She felt like her scene was probably added in by Ye Ziliang very recently just for her popularity.
They were first going to film Ye Ziliang’s ending part.
Miao Xiaomei helped Ye Ziliang put on a makeup style that was seen commonly on men, which was only supposed to cover up his flaws. They were done with his makeup within five minutes.
Ye Ziliang stood in front of the camera with Melon in his arms, and they were standing inside the pet clinic. Tao Zhiyao adjusted the camera to the best perspective, snapped her fingers, and the filming began:
“Hello everyone, I’m the producer slash director of ‘Vet’s Cuties’, Ye Ziliang. Now that the documentary is ending, I would like to talk about why I filmed this documentary.
The main reason is, of course, that I like animals. I have a cat named Melon and a dog named Bitter Gourd. Melon is the cat I’m holding right now. Every day, when I return from work, she would be standing at the doorway, welcoming me, and she would jump onto me coquettishly.”
Ye Ziliang said before making a gesture. Bitter Gourd, who was facing off Paul, obediently walked to stand in front of him,
“He’s Bitter Gourd, and he specializes in being a troublemaker. He breaks my flower vases, flips over my cups, and ruins my sofa… He has done things to all of the furniture in my house. Although every time, I clench my teeth so tightly because I get so angry, when I see his wronged look, I could never bring my heart to beat him. As a result, he keeps on doing it the next time even after knowing it’s wrong, and he pompously keeps making the farces.”
“Melon has been very weak and got sick a lot when she was young, so I constantly brought her to bodychecks at Vet Yu’s clinic. Because I’ve come so many times, I gradually started knowing more about Vet Yu’s job. Vet Yu’s pet clinic is very small. He’s the boss, and he’s also the staff. He has only hired a cute, young nurse. The pair basically does all the work around the clinic, and they work from morning to evening. Although the sign at the door says their standard work time is from 9 a.m to 10 p.m, sometimes there would be extemporaneous surgeries or incidents, and they often get off work at midnight”
“I then thought of making a documentary to let everyone understand what a vet usually does with the observing and filming method. I want everyone to be able to learn more about how vets treat pets and pets’ medication and feel the warm interactions between an owner and their pets.”
“To those audiences who hasn’t kept a pet or wants to keep a pet, I hope you were able to more objectively learn that pets are just like humans. They are beings that get born, get old, get sick, and will pass away. Their lives are shorter, and it’s easier for them to get sick compared with humans. They need careful treatment from their owners, and owners shouldn’t conveniently abandon them just because they think it’s too much trouble.”
“To be honest, pets are just like children. They need more care and accompaniment. As an owner, you need to love your pets and care for them. You can’t just enjoy the joy they bring to you and not do any work to help them.”
“Now that I’ve said so much, I want to say that I only hope everyone can enjoy this ‘Vet’s Cuties’. Finally, thank you so much for watching!”
“OK,” Tao Zhiyao stopped the recording.
“How was that?” Ye Ziliang hurriedly asked everyone. This was his first time showing his face in front of the camera, and he felt very nervous.
Sun Weiwei said, “Your expression was very natural; it’s just that your eyes glance around.”
“That’s very normal,” Liu Man said, “I was even more nervous when I first started recording live-stream videos, so I wasn’t willing to show my face at that time. Showing my face would’ve exposed my fear.”
“We can adjust the tone and the lighting later, and his eyes would be fine,” Tao Zhiyao analyzed it from a professional’s perspective, “Besides, this would make it seem more real. Aren’t documentaries supposed to record reality? What is the point of posing?”
Sun Weiwei said, “But to be honest, our job today is posing.”
“There can be a few posing scenes in a documentary. Many documentaries in other countries filmed by masters also contain a few scenes that have been prearranged. For example, BBC’s famous documentaries, ‘The Blue Planet’ and ‘Human Planet’ all contain scenes that were posed. As long as the general direction is real, the documentary’s fine…”
Ye Ziliang informed the others on facts related to documentaries. When he mentioned the professional area he specialized in, his expression seemed very lively, and his temperament was handsome.
Sun Weiwei paid lots of attention. She felt that her heart must’ve gotten covered by lard oil when she liked He Qisi before. She was a student who lived solely in an ivory tower and had never seen the real world. She didn’t know that there would always be better ones. Many people were more talented than He Qisi.
What type of trash even was He Qisi!
Next, they started filming the interactions between Paul and Moonlight.
They put Melon, Bitter Gourd, and Daylight into another room in case they run around and disturb their filming. Paul and Moonlight were the only ones left in the hall. Paul did not have a playmate, so he could only go towards Moonlight.
Tao Zhiyao, seeing the opportunity, started recording this process.
Jiang Chengfeng hurriedly read: “My buddy, Moonlight, was in a similar situation as Da Huang. He was a stray animal on the streets. One day, a sis sent him here and requested for Yu Yu to save him. At that time, he was almost dying. Luckily, Yu Yu has very good medical skills and rescued him from the god of death. Later on, sis adopted him and gave him a cool name, ‘Moonlight’, which coincidentally matches Daylight.”
“Hmph~, initially, I was paired up with Daylight! He stole my Daylight, and whenever I recall this, I feel upset. However, seeing that he was so pitiful in the past, I will be a generous dog, and I will let him win this fight. Anyways, Yu Yu has said that cross-breeding love relationships will not have good results. He promised to find me a beautiful wife in the future.”
This first scene was finished.
The second scene contained an interaction between Liu Man and Moonlight, and it only needed ten seconds.
Moonlight loved it when people pet his jaw, so Liu Man, holding him in her arms, petted his jaw for ten seconds. Her job got successfully finished so easily.
And just for this scene, Miao Xiaomei spent ten minutes putting makeup on her!
The second part was the interactions between Yu Zhan, Moonlight, and Paul.
Yu Zhan was still wearing his mask.
