Lin Feng was wearing a well-ironed police uniform, just like what Xiao Liu and Xiao Wang were wearing. But a star was a star. Wearing the same uniform, he looked more handsome than an ordinary police officer. In addition to the clear lines of his face, the taller body, and the makeup, Lin Feng's skin was smoother, which was different from the real police officers who were exposed to the sun and rain all day long.
Since Lin Feng was going to wear a police cap later, his hair didn't need to be touched up, so the makeup artist's job was easy.
"So, Xiao Zhang, you own a pet shop? Isn't it interesting to open a pet shop? You can play with the pets all day long, touch and hug them whenever you want. It's relaxing and fun, "the female makeup artist said enviously.
The makeup artist took one last look at Lin Feng's face and signaled that he was done. He could stand up now.
She was a little older than Zhang Zian, so she affectionately called him Xiao Zhang.
This was a common misunderstanding about pet shops. Zhang Zian replied, "It's okay. It's not as fun and relaxing as you think. I have cramps when I clean poop, and my mouth is dry at the end of the day when I have a lot of customers. Maybe I can't make a lot of business … but at least it's better than working nine to five."
Lin Feng put on his police cap in front of the mirror and joked, "Be content with what you have! People have to spend money to raise pets, but you can make money by raising pets. Don't complain! "
"That's right, that's right!" the makeup artist agreed.
Zhang Zian laughed. "If you're jealous, you can also raise some pets that can make you money."
Not only Lin Feng and the makeup artist, but also the assistant, who was listening with a smile, were surprised. They all asked, "What kind of pets can make money?"
"Yes, don't tell us that you raise chickens and ducks and sell eggs …" the makeup artist said.
Lin Feng guessed, "You must raise turtles … No, that's not a pet anymore, right?"
Zhang Zian replied seriously, "You can raise mosquitoes. Not only do they not cost money, but they can also give you red packets."
Silence.
Pfft!
They couldn't hold it in anymore. Lin Feng and the assistant laughed so hard that they couldn't control themselves. The female makeup artist squatted on the ground, holding her stomach and laughing so hard that she couldn't stand up.
"Haha! Raising mosquitoes, sending red packets … Little Zhang, you're so interesting … "
"Now that you mention it, I hate shooting outdoor scenes in summer the most. Every year, Mosquito sends me dozens of red packets. I don't even have to act anymore. I can just lie down and make money!"
The door of the dressing shed was knocked twice, and then it was pushed open. Feng Xuan stuck his head in, puzzled. He looked at them and asked, "What are you laughing at? Even I could hear it from eighty feet away. "
In addition to Feng Xuan, there were a few other actors and crew members outside curiously looking in.
The makeup artist had also worked with Feng Xuan on a few movies. She pulled Feng Xuan along and vividly repeated the process of Zhang Zian telling a joke with a straight face, which made the people outside the door laugh out loud.
The joke left a good impression on the crew. They even told the joke everywhere, and it quickly spread throughout the entire crew.
At first, Feng Xuan was a little worried that Zhang Zian, a layman who had never participated in a movie, would need some time to integrate into the crew. Now he knew that his worries were unnecessary. Zhang Zian, with his unique sense of humor, quickly got along with the crew and won the favor of many people.
Many people in the crew had pets at home. Some didn't have pets because of time constraints, but they liked pets such as kittens and puppies very much. When they learned that the main dog trainer also opened a pet shop, they all gathered around him to ask him about pets.
The female makeup artist wiped her tears and said with a smile, "I have a Sphinx cat. I met it in a pet shop when I went abroad with a crew to shoot a movie. Many people can't accept the appearance of this cat, but I liked it very much, so I bought it."
"Sphinx cat …" Zhang Zian nodded. "The appearance of that kind of cat is really different."
The Sphinx cat, also known as the Canadian hairless cat, was a product of genetic mutation like the Scottish fold. Except for a very small part of its body covered with sparse fluff, the rest of its body had no hair, and there were many wrinkles on its skin. It was similar to the Shar Pei, but not as fat.
The cuteness of cats was inseparable from their soft hair. People liked cats because they were very comfortable to stroke and could bring happiness to both cats and people. Both long-haired and short-haired cats had their own loyal fans. Long-haired cats felt good, and short-haired cats were easy to take care of.
But how to stroke a hairless cat? Whether abroad or at home, there were very few people who could accept hairless cats.
Sphinx cats had big eyes, big ears, slender tails, and wrinkles on their skin. Coupled with only a small amount of hair, when they stared at you, they looked like aliens from outer space.
It was not yet time to start shooting, so there were a lot of people in the dressing room. They were all attracted by their laughter.
The female makeup artist moved a chair for Feng Xuan and asked him to sit down. She took out her mobile phone and showed everyone the pictures of her Sphinx cat. She said excitedly, "Although it is hairless, it is very docile, so I especially like to hold it in my arms and do makeup for it. I put on foundation, eye shadow, blush, and make it look like a little princess. After I am done playing with it, I wipe it clean with a wet towel. It is not easy to do this for a cat with hair."
Everyone looked at her mobile phone. Most people still could not accept the appearance of this kind of cat, but they did not say anything out of politeness. The female makeup artist was obviously used to other people's expressions when they saw it, so she did not care.
When the mobile phone was passed to Zhang Zian, he saw a photo album with hundreds of pictures of hairless cats, with unique makeup. Their faces showed surprised, angry, or funny expressions, which made people laugh. He could only say that the female makeup artist really knew how to play. She was a perfect match for the hairless cat. For other long-haired or short-haired cats, it was very troublesome to wipe off the makeup after it was done. They could only wash their faces or take a bath. He was very sad for her future children, who probably could not escape from her clutches …
In one of the photos, a hairless cat with makeup happened to pass by a full-length dressing mirror. It was so shocked by the mirror that it raised one of its paws and hesitated to put it down. Even the cat itself couldn't recognize itself. The corner of the dressing mirror reflected the figure of the female makeup artist holding the mobile phone, with a mischievous smile on her face.
This was the case with Sphinx cats. Those who liked them would like them very much, and those who hated them would hate them very much. The two poles were completely irreconcilable, and it was impossible to compromise.
However, this kind of cat was very rare in China. Zhang Zian was not optimistic about the sales prospects of this kind of cat in China, so he did not intend to introduce this kind of cat. Because it had no hair to keep warm, this kind of cat was too sensitive to temperature changes, so it was more suitable to live in some cities where the temperature difference between the four seasons was not big. In places like Binhai City, where it was hot in summer and cold in winter, even people could not live there, let alone this kind of fragile hairless cat …
Hairless cats were only suitable to be kept indoors, not taken outside. Of course, there were also advantages to not having hair, such as cat ringworm and fleas, which made it difficult to find hairless cats.
Zhang Zian handed the mobile phone back to the female makeup artist. She took the mobile phone and smiled, "Xiao Zhang, just now you mentioned mosquitoes. Do you know what I named this cat?"
"I can't guess." Zhang Zian shook his head, and the others also said they could not guess.
"Haha, I named it 'Charlotte.' Do you know what this means?" She blinked her eyes slyly and smiled.
Charlotte?
Everyone was guessing, but no one could guess it. Even Feng Xuan joined in the fun a few times. She kept shaking her head, denying everyone's guesses one by one.
"Don't waste your energy. You definitely can't guess it." She smiled provocatively. "This name is very meaningful."
Her words aroused everyone's interest, and no one was willing to admit defeat.
Zhang Zian did not rush to guess, but pondered for a while, trying to think from her point of view. Since she asked this question, the name 'Charlotte' must be closely related to a certain characteristic of the hairless cat. What was it?
He outlined the appearance of the hairless cat in his mind, and the relevant characteristics emerged one by one.
After a moment, an idea flashed in his mind, and he smiled and said, "I guessed the answer."
"Oh? Then tell me, let me hear it. If you really guessed it right, I will give you free makeup and dress you up as a cute girl. I guarantee that no one can tell, "she teased.
Zhang Zian looked at her speechlessly, "… Don't dress me up as a cute girl, but I really guessed it. When it comes to 'Charlotte,' people will definitely think of the movie 'Charlotte's Troubles.' "
Except for him, many people vaguely guessed that there must be some connection between the cat's name and the name of the popular movie, but they could not guess what the connection was.
"Go on," she said.
"Hairless cats are very upset in the summer. You named it 'Charlotte' because it will be particularly upset in the summer, right?" Zhang Zian said confidently.
"Then tell me, why does it worry in the summer?" She continued to ask.
"It's very simple. Because it has no hair, it will be very upset when facing mosquitoes in the summer, and it will have no choice but to accept a lot of 'red envelopes.'" Zhang Zian gave the correct answer.
As soon as he said this, everyone present suddenly realized that the meaning of the name was "Summer's Troubles," which was completely in line with the characteristics of the hairless cat.
The female makeup artist was surprised and admired him. Only a few of her best friends knew that she had named her cat. Every time she revealed the answer, her best friends would laugh and play with each other. No one else had ever guessed it, but Zhang Zian had guessed it in such a short time. It was really an eye-opener for her! If he did not have a deep understanding of pets, how could he have guessed it?
The topic started from mosquitoes, turned a big circle, and returned to mosquitoes again.
