The German Shepherd in cage No. 9 was called Bebe, and it was also a police dog.
Fu Tao rubbed Bebe's neck and said proudly to Zhang Zian and Old Yang, "Don't think that only your dogs have made movies. I don't care! See? This dog has also made movies! "
Zhang Zian couldn't believe it. How could a dog that had made movies end up here?
"Really?" He thought Fu Tao was joking. "Which movie did it make?"
"Of course it's true! Why would I lie to you at such an old age? The name of the movie is... "
Fu Tao was embarrassed. It patted its head and thought for a while, then said, "Oh, look at my memory. I really can't remember... Anyway, it really did make movies. I won't lie to you!"
Famous saw Bebe's memory and knew that Fu Tao was telling the truth. Bebe had really made movies.
Bebe was very ordinary in training. After becoming a police dog, its performance was mediocre. Like Luoluo, it was a very ordinary police dog. It didn't make any contributions or receive any awards. In its career as a police dog, it had no special experience except for helping its owner maintain law and order and catching thieves.
It was supposed to live an ordinary life and then retire safely.
However, one day, the police team that Bebe was in received a notice from their superiors, asking them to take the police dogs in the team to an audition to assist a crew in making a movie.
Unlike the Dog Warrior crew, this crew had already chosen the dog to play the leading role in advance. The police dogs that came to the audition were all supporting roles.
Bei Bei's overall qualities weren't outstanding, and its owner didn't think that it would be chosen. However, to everyone's surprise, Bei Bei was actually chosen. However, it wasn't chosen as a supporting character. Instead, it was chosen because its appearance was extremely similar to the main character's. It was chosen to be the main character's substitute, and to replace the main character in some dangerous scenes.
Famous didn't know why Bebe's owner agreed. Was it because of the pressure from the superiors? Anyway, he agreed to take Bebe to the crew.
The staff and director of this crew treated the police dogs much worse than the Dog Warrior crew. When they were shooting, it was summer. Sometimes there would be sudden rainstorms. When it rained, people would take shelter from the rain. No one cared about the police dogs, so they were locked in cages and drenched in the rain.
The German Shepherd that played the lead role was not a police dog. It was said that it was selected from the public. However, there were rumors in the crew that the German Shepherd was raised by a relative of the producer, who had paid for the movie to make it popular. Therefore, the German Shepherd was like an emperor in the crew. It ate beef for every meal, while the police dogs ate ordinary boxed meals or commercial dog food.
Perhaps Bei Bei's owner didn't want to continue earning a fixed salary in the police force. Instead, he yearned for the entertainment industry where money was spent like water. Taking advantage of this God-given opportunity, after he joined the cast, he was always around those celebrities and actors. He was obedient to the director's orders and never questioned them. In order to please the producer, he often belittled Bei Bei in front of everyone while praising the protagonist, the German shepherd, to the skies. He even took the initiative to ask Bei Bei to appear in some dangerous scenes.
Bei Bei didn't know anything about this. He faithfully carried out his master's orders. Whether it was to climb a mountain or go into the sea, whether it was to drill into a bush full of thorny insects or escape from a burning room, he did everything without any hesitation, all for the sake of waiting for his master's praise.
One day, the crew was going to shoot a dangerous scene. In order to show the protagonist's bravery and agility, he had to jump over a cliff. Of course, the German Shepherd, who had an extraordinary status, couldn't take the risk. The important task was given to Bei Bei, who acted as a substitute.
In order to be as realistic as possible, this scene was shot in real life. The crew really found a cliff. The distance between the mountains on both sides was more than four meters, and below them was a bottomless abyss.
Of course, the minimum protective measures were still in place.
There was a protective net under the cliff, but in order to prevent the net from being captured by the camera, the net was about five meters away from the cliff.
When shooting this scene, Bei Bei flinched for the first time.
When he was led by his master to the edge of the cliff, he looked down at the bottomless abyss and was scared to step back. He looked up at his master pleadingly and whimpered in a low voice, not wanting to jump over.
It was a sunny day in the middle of summer. Everyone was enduring the scorching sun. The director wore a straw hat and sat under a parasol, impatiently urging them to hurry. Someone next to him was fanning him.
The German Shepherd, who played the protagonist, was lying in the shade next to the director. In order to dissipate the heat in its body, it stuck out its tongue and looked at everything indifferently.
The whole crew was waiting. Bei Bei's master was not as thick-skinned as Zhang Zian. His face was tight, and his police uniform was soaked in sweat. He sternly scolded Bei Bei and forced him to jump over.
Bei Bei's body temperature rose sharply because of the sun, but there was no parasol or fan to cool him down. His memory was vague, and he could only hear his master's scolding.
He probably knew that he had to jump over this cliff. Otherwise, his master would be angry, very angry. Therefore, he obediently stopped trying to escape.
With the director's order, the scene started shooting.
However, after shooting several times, Bei Bei ran to the cliff and stopped to look at his master every time, as if he was hoping and begging his master to change his mind. His survival instinct made him afraid.
"Can your dog still do it? If you can't, then quickly change to another one. Don't waste everyone's time here! "The director slammed the script on the ground and asked sternly.
Bei Bei's owner was both embarrassed and angry. He flew into a rage and took large strides to Bei Bei's side, ruthlessly kicking it.
Poor Bei Bei was kicked and rolled a few times on the ground. His body was in pain, but he didn't dare to resist his master.
"This is the last time. If you don't jump this time, don't follow me anymore," his master said coldly.
Bei Bei didn't understand his words, but he knew that something bad was going to happen from his master's face. It was the first time that he had seen his master so angry. Coupled with the high temperature, his brain was already in a daze.
Just like that, Bei Bei gave in and accepted his fate. His obedience to his master overpowered his survival instinct.
The scene started shooting again.
This time, Bei Bei didn't stop in front of the cliff. He only had eyes for his master, who was standing on the opposite side of the cliff. He opened his arms to him. As long as he jumped into his arms, he would definitely be forgiven.
Bei Bei jumped from the edge of the cliff, as if he was riding the clouds. His body drew a beautiful parabola in the air as he landed on the other side of the cliff.
A distance of four meters could be jumped during normal training, but Bei Bei couldn't jump from the edge of the cliff. He had to be one or two steps ahead of time. Perhaps the high temperature affected his condition. Bei Bei jumped closer than usual, but he still managed to land on the other side of the cliff.
Seeing that they had succeeded, the crew members heaved a sigh of relief.
However, no one expected that although the rocks on the other side of the cliff looked very sturdy, they had already formed hidden cracks due to the temperature difference between day and night. Under the impact of Bei Bei's fall, the rock surface that his hind legs were standing on suddenly collapsed.
Several stones fell off the cliff with a clatter.
Bei Bei hadn't stabilized himself yet. He staggered, and his hind legs were suspended in the air. His two front legs grabbed onto the cracks in the rock as if he was grabbing onto a life-saving straw. His hind legs dug and kicked on the cliff as he struggled desperately to survive.
In order to avoid affecting the camera, his owner stood about five meters in front of the cliff. Seeing this, he hurriedly tried to pull Bei Bei back.
"Don't move!"
The director jumped up from his chair and shouted excitedly, "Who told you to go? Did I say cut?"
Bei Bei's owner was stunned. His obedience to the director prevented him from rescuing Bei Bei at the first moment.
The director excitedly picked up the walkie-talkie and asked the cameraman, "Did you get this shot? What a thrilling scene. What a pleasant surprise. You must film it completely! "
The cameraman made an OK gesture from afar. Only then did the director sit back in his chair with satisfaction and shout, "Cut!"
Bei Bei's owner rushed to the edge of the cliff and tried to pull Bei Bei back, but he was too late. Bei Bei had already used up all his strength in his struggle.
Just a little bit more, just a little bit more and he would have been able to pull Bei Bei back.
Falling.
In Bei Bei's memory, his vision changed to a boundless blue sky. It was as if he was swimming in the air. His owner's outstretched hand was getting farther and farther away from him. The falling process was beautiful as if it was in slow motion.
Instead of feeling scared, Bei Bei was very happy, because he saw concern in his owner's eyes.
My owner has finally forgiven me, Bei Bei thought.
The fall was short but long.
Then, Bei Bei fell heavily into the protective net. His front leg hit a rock that had fallen off the cliff but was blocked by the protective net. With a crack, his leg was fractured. The broken bone pierced through his skin and exposed his bloody leg.
Bei Bei's whining echoed between the cliffs.
The most ironic thing was that there was no winner in this movie.
Bei Bei was not the only police dog on the scene. There was also more than one police dog on the scene. Someone reported Bei Bei's owner to the police force. The evidence was conclusive. Bei Bei's owner was fired from the police force because of his negligence.
Every year, 90% of the movies made in China were rotten in the warehouse and had no chance of being released in theaters. This movie was one of those movies.
The producer's investment and the ambition to make the German Shepherd popular were all in vain.
After Bei Bei's injury was healed, his leg was permanently disabled. However, he still stayed in the police force and had a new owner. From then on, Bei Bei only performed simple patrol tasks until he retired and was sent to the police dog nursing home.
However, Bei Bei still missed its former owner. It forgot that he had kicked it. It only remembered the sincere concern in his eyes at the last moment.
Like Luo Luo, Bei Bei was waiting for its former owner to come and pick it up.
Bei Bei's dream of making movies was shattered and he was fired from the police force. After that, his whereabouts were unknown and he never showed up again.
If Luo Luo still had a glimmer of hope, then Bei Bei's wait was destined to be in vain.
Famous unknowingly burst into tears.
