Whether in this era or 100 years later, the filming process of the film is not fundamentally different, but the latter may be more refined and professional.

From the next day, Pemmas was brought to the film set to participate in the shooting.

It didn't know which movie it was filming, and as one of the 18 stand-in dogs, it didn't have to be told about it. Roger, as the temporary owner, doesn't care either, his eyes are always greedy on the set to chase those fashionable and beautiful girls, as long as he can get his share of the money, he is willing to let Pegasus do anything, no matter how dangerous.

And that dog, that distinguished star dog, no one on the set really liked it, except maybe its owner.

It is paid eight times more than the human lead actor, and every time it comes to the set, it sits in a special car custom-made for it by the company, wears a string of sparkling diamond necklaces around its neck, and when the crew eats a humble cauldron dish at noon, it eats a steak on its own — a medium-rare steak with onions prepared by a well-paid chef.

As for red wine, red wine will not be prepared for it in public, after all, there is a "Prohibition".

Also, the plate on which the steak is served is silver.

Its every move is to slap everyone in the face in the red fruit field, reminding them that you are inferior to dogs here.

No one on the set dared to disobey its wishes, after all, even the boss of the company could only swallow his anger when he was bitten by it.

100 years later, there may be many unsatisfactory things on the set, but from the popular stars to the dogs in the crew, everyone is equal at least on the surface, no matter how high or low, they are all eating the same box lunch, even if this box lunch is a food standard of less than 10 yuan that has been deducted by the life producer.

Of course, it wasn't its fault, it was just a dog, and it was a man who knelt before it and lifted it up to the altar.

When shooting dangerous scenes, it doesn't take risks himself, but chooses one of the 18 stand-in dogs at random, such as today, a certain unlucky dog will be selected to fight a large black bear.

It was a real black bear, locked in a cage, covered in a fishy smell, walking restlessly around the cage, sometimes letting out a dull growl. It came from the circus, and the trainer said it wouldn't poke the basket, but no one dared to let the star dog play against the black bear, and who could be held responsible in case of injury?

"Number nine, let the number nine stand-in dog try!" the director shouted.

There is no power grid, no tranquilizer gun, no computer special effects 100 years from now, all the safety and security comes from a word from the animal trainer.

The No. 9 stand-in dog was pulled out, but as soon as it approached the black bear in the cage, it nervously circled far away, even if the staff led it to the cage, as soon as the leash was released, it ran away, and it couldn't try several times, so there was no way to shoot the thrilling shot of Demu fighting the black bear in order to protect the little master.

"No. 17! Try No. 17!" the director named another unlucky dog.

The No. 17 stand-in dog is the opposite of No. 9, it behaves too aggressively in the face of the black bear, as soon as it releases the leash, it roars and rushes up to bite the black bear, only to be slapped by the black bear from between the gaps in the cage, and is slapping No. 17 on the head, knocking No. 17 to the ground on the spot, and scratching the side of No. 17's head with sharp claws.

Not only that, but the black bear, which smelled blood, was completely enraged and became more and more irritable in the cage, as if even the animal trainer was helpless. Compared with this raging black bear, the so-called mastiff king is scum!

Everyone present was drumming in their hearts, guessing that there would be no way to complete this scene today, and they would only wait for the black bear to calm down tomorrow and then find another dog to try.

But the director didn't intend to give up, he happened to be a little worried that the black bear from the circus was not wild and couldn't shoot the effect he wanted, and the black bear was provoked but it was in line with his heart.

"Go on!" the director announced, "bring another dog!"

"Which one, sir?" the staff asked.

The director's gaze swept over a row of candidate Demu, "Which ......one to choose?"

"Wow!"

Pemmas barked suddenly, knowing that no matter what other dog faced the black bear, it would have no chance of winning, and it would be injured or killed.

The director said thoughtfully: "Well, is this the 13 who just came...... I heard that this dog has some ability, and I wanted to keep it for critical moments, but seeing that it is very positive, let it try. ”

"We're here for you. Roger didn't want to come out, he also saw that this black bear was not easy to mess with, for fear that Feimas would be hurt and he would be swept away, but there was no way to bring it to the present, so he had to bite the bullet and pull out Feimas.

Pegasus stood in front of the black bear's cage, neither screaming nor running, just calmly watching the black bear.

Its performance made the director's eyes shine, and he clapped the board: "Nice little guy! What a guts! Let 13 play this scene! Ready to shoot!"

The black bear, along with Pegas, was taken into a makeshift fence in the woods to keep the staff safe.

With the director's order, the black bear's leash was released, and it was already enraged, and it immediately roared and rushed towards Flying Mars. Slapping, biting, pounce...... As long as it hits, Pegasus will either be killed or injured.

In this scene, Pegasus doesn't need to defeat the black bear, as long as he makes it difficult for the black bear to retreat. It relies on its nimble hands to rush left and right, making the black bear flutter again and again with realistic feints, while barking incessantly pressuring the black bear, and occasionally kicking dust and pebbles at the black bear's eyes unobtrusively, making it difficult to see.

The black bear's fury and physical strength gradually disappeared, and he realized that he could not do anything with this clever dog, and that he was afraid that he would suffer if he continued like this, so he turned and retreated.

"Wow! this dog is amazing!" the director applauded excitedly, and this scene, which was originally difficult to shoot, actually passed through at one time, which surprised everyone.

"What's so good? It's nothing more than a stand-in dog, and if my dog were on the field, it would do even better than it. Duncan, who was sitting on the sidelines watching the game, said disdainfully, his dog lying at his feet, unaware of why it looked a little wilted.

"Yes, yes, Mr. Duncan, you're right!" the director quickly laughed at the director, knowing that he was speechless, "that ...... Mr. Duncan, the next shot is the dog who plays the protagonist and the little boy hugging after successfully driving away the black bear, do you see if this scene is ......"

Duncan stood up proudly and straightened his clothes, "Of course it's my dog, and no one can show this delicate emotion more than it." Come on, man, it's time for us to play......"

He beckoned twice, and his dog staggered to his feet, and barely took a few steps before he fell to the ground in a languid.

"Doctor, Doctor, Where's Doctor, Call Doctor!" Duncan panicked and shoved his dog, which struggled a few times but couldn't get up.

The director also panicked, "Go call the doctor! Go call Mr. Charles! Go call the boss!"

The entire crew was suddenly in a mess.

Duncan, who was born in the military, had a lot of strength, and when he saw that the doctor had not come for a long time, he struggled to pick up his dog and sit back in the car, and slammed on the accelerator and galloped towards the hospital.

In the chaos around him, Pegasus looked at the familiar everything, and his memory was coming back.

It didn't work, even if Duncan rushed to the hospital, veterinary medicine in this era was very backward, it was impossible to find out what disease the dog had, they even tried the ancient bloodletting therapy, but to no avail.

Pemmas closed his eyes.

The people and objects around them are like a movie that is fast-forwarded at a hundredfold speed, appearing and disappearing like lightning.

It opened its eyes, and the scene switched - this is its mental world, and it is the master of the mental world.

Pemmas returns to Charles' plush office again, only this time without Roger by his side.

Other than that, there were only two people in the office, Charles and Duncan, who were frowning and sighing, as if the end of the world was coming.

"It's over. Duncan shook his head bitterly, "It's all over. ”

He stood up and staggered out.

"Wait a minute!" Charles jumped up, grabbed him by the shoulder, and shouted excitedly: "It's over? Don't talk stupid, how can it end like this! Of course, you can choose to leave, but what about the investor's money? How can I explain it to the boss?"

"You think I'm willing, but what if it's not over?" Duncan was already in tears, and a big man held his face and wept bitterly, "It's gone, leaving us forever...... There is no other dog in the world who can have such superb acting skills......"

"Well...... I don't think so. Charles said meaningfully.

Duncan felt as if he was offended, and said angrily, "What do you mean?"

Since his dog left, he felt that Charles's attitude had changed subtly from before, that he was no longer so deferential to him and occasionally domineering — a change in attitude that he had a hard time accepting. But he forgot one thing, in this building, dogs are worth more than people, more than everyone, including Charles, and also him.

Charles pointed to Pegasus who was squatting next to him, "Don't you think 13 looks like your dog?"

"It's very similar, so what?" Duncan said in a rushing tone.

Charles said slowly, "13 is very similar to your dog, and according to the director, his acting skills are also very good, so I have an idea." ”

Duncan was not a fool, he had already guessed what Charles was trying to say. "You...... You ......" he pointed incredulously at Charles's nose.

"Don't look at me like that, I can't help it. Charles shook his head, "Mr. Duncan, this method is only a stopgap measure, but it can reduce the losses of both of us." If it's a human actor, it will be troublesome, but 13 is just a dog, it won't be revealed, only you and I know about it, as long as we keep our mouths shut, who can find out?"

The expression on Duncan's face changed rapidly, and it was clear that a fierce battle of ideas was going on in his mind.

Charles further persuaded: "Look, Mr. Duncan, this is a very simple matter, and there is no risk, have you already earned enough money?

His tone was soft and hard, and if this matter could not be properly resolved, not to mention that his position as a senior executive would not be secure, even the company that was just on the right track might not have a good future......

Like all American nouveau riche, Duncan had no habit of saving money, and he didn't plan to spend it, he never imagined that his dog would suddenly have an accident and put all his money, along with part of the prepaid salary, into the consumption of villas and luxury goods - this was nothing, because just after the film was filmed, a lot of money was rolling in, who knew that such a thing would happen......

Duncan's heart was empty, and it was only then that he realized that everything he had earned was based on shit luck, and that he was lucky enough to pick up a dog on the battlefield, and that was it. Without a dog, he is nothing.

Thinking of this, he sat down on the sofa and said weakly: "Mr. Charles, tell me, what are you going to do?"

Charles was also relieved to see that Duncan was willing to cooperate, after all, this play could not be played without Duncan, Duncan and his dog have always been inseparable, as long as Duncan is there, people will subconsciously not doubt the authenticity of that dog.

13 is very similar to your dog, so we don't need to worry about the appearance, the key is to cultivate his habits so that he and your dog are similar in behavior. Charles said this, slapping him a few times.

In a trance, Feimas thought that Zhang Zi'an was slapping, and if it was in a pet store, four Abyssinian cats would come out to dance next...... But no, it was a polite chef who quietly retired with a food cart respectfully serving the elaborate onion steak on the table while pouring the mellow amber red wine into the glass.

Charles walked up to Feimas, bowed with a smile and said, "Big star, your lunch is ready, please dine." ”

Duncan's mind was completely confused as he watched the scene full of comical and absurdity.

Seeing that Pemmas didn't move, Charles secretly gestured to Duncan and motioned for him to come over.

Duncan feigned a smile and said to Pemmas with the gentleness of a lover and a child, "Come, dear, come and eat your lunch." ”

If Pegasus were human, he would have goosebumps all over his body.

It has decided not to run away anymore, and no matter what happens, it will bravely cooperate with the two clowns to play this human comedy to the end.

After all, today it is the protagonist.

So he jumped into the dining chair and began to enjoy lunch.

The finest steak is cooked to the right level, it tastes juicy and tastes juicy, and the best French red wine of the last century tastes like a syrup, but strangely enough, it misses the potato beef stew and the red star two-pot head in the pet shop...... Even though beef is just a normal supermarket commodity, even though potatoes are often stewed too hard, and even though the two-pot head is as spicy as a fire to drink, it just thinks those things taste better.

It seems to understand a little bit, it's not what you eat, it's who eats with you.

The pet store is shabby, but it has something that this office will never have.

Pegasus eats up the steak and red wine, including broccoli and mushrooms, except for the onions.

Charles stroked the short beard on his lips and said to Duncan with a smile: "It seems that our big star tastes have changed and don't like to eat onions." ”

"Then tell our chef to change the recipe next time and don't put onions. Duncan said with a sigh as he became more and more adept at playing his role.

Charles chimed in: "That's right, for the sake of filming, all the requirements of our big stars should be met. ”

Feimas really wanted to laugh three times and cry again, and the acting skills of these two people were comparable to those of the Oscar winners who had not yet been born.

"And this, put that one on, and our big star will definitely be even more handsome and extraordinary after wearing it!" Charles glanced at Duncan, who pulled out a sparkling diamond necklace from his pocket in pain.

Duncan reached over to untie Pegas's leather collar and replace it with a diamond necklace, but as soon as his hand touched the leather collar, Pemmas suddenly roared.

"Don't touch it!"

Duncan was startled, his hands trembled, and the diamond necklace fell to the ground. The strings broke, and dozens of brilliant diamonds spilled all over the carpet.

Feimas lowered his tone, "Don't touch, you don't deserve it." ”

It knows that the real history of itself must have been put on a diamond necklace by them, disguised as another dog, but in this world of mental imagery that is both real and illusory, it wants to keep some more of itself.

Charles misunderstood, and he pretended to be clever and pointed to his nose, meaning that Pegasus must have smelled another dog from the necklace and was therefore reluctant to wear it.

"It seems that our big stars are a little bit of a fan of the new and the old. He said with a smile.

Duncan understood and immediately continued: "This necklace is too old, the purity of the diamond is not high enough, and the craftsmanship is not worthy of its identity, so I will immediately call the Swiss side and order a new one." ”

"As it should be. Charles nodded, and suddenly said as if he remembered something: "There is also our big star's special car, which has been driven for a year, it's time to change to a new one, and I will notify Ford immediately." ”

"By the way," Duncan frowned, and said in a low voice, "that one is called Roger or Roman, what to do? If he wants his dog ......"

Charles smiled confidently: "His dog died unexpectedly during the filming, and we express our deepest regrets. Although it was only an insignificant stand-in dog, the company would morally give him a pension and then give him the dog's body for burial. ”

Duncan opened his mouth to say something, but eventually swallowed it again.

Pegasus didn't listen to them, it was attracted by the starry diamonds on the carpet.

Each facet of each diamond is reflected in a mirror, and countless figures are busy in different movies and playing different roles.

Fei Mars suddenly laughed, looked up to the sky and roared: "Oh! The tide on the Qiantang River is coming, and today I know that I am me!"
