"Famous?"
"Famous, are you in there?"
Countless diamonds with sharp edges gradually blurred, and when they became clear again, they had become countless teardrop-shaped water droplets on the mirror.
Zhang Zian knocked on the door of the bathroom and kept calling its name.
Famous was summoned back to the real world.
It suddenly woke up and almost got lost in the labyrinth of memories again.
It had successfully played a role and won the heartfelt love of the audience. This kind of thing brought it a great sense of accomplishment, and it was obsessed with it and never tired of it. It had to play many fictional roles at work, and in life, it had to play another dog. It had gradually lost itself, forgotten who it was and why it existed.
"Coming!" It shouted, and looked at itself in the mirror for the last time. For a moment, it thought it saw another dog, and its heart trembled. Maybe for others, that dog was a superstar, but for Famous, that dog was a nightmare.
"Famous, are you okay? I see you haven't come out yet, and the second half is about to start, "Zhang Zian said with concern through the door.
After a moment of disappointment, Famous's state of mind was no longer shaken. It had regained its past memories and decided not to run away. So, it smiled at itself in the mirror and said softly, "Goodbye, brother."
The dog in the mirror also smiled at it, and its mouth clearly said, "Goodbye."
The nightmare that had been pressing on its heart for a long time was finally over.
Famous jumped down from the sink and opened the door of the bathroom. The hair on its head and neck were still wet.
"I'm fine, I just washed my face," it explained casually.
Zhang Zian saw that it was safe and sound, and laughed at himself. "I know, but I suddenly felt a little flustered for a while, as if you had gone to a very far place... This feeling is quite inexplicable, but if I don't come to confirm it, my heart will never be at ease."
Famous was silent for a few seconds, and denied, "No, I have been here all the time, and I have never left, but... after washing my face, I can't find a towel to wipe my face with."
"Oh, there seems to be no towel here, so we can only use the dryer. Do you want to go under the dryer and blow dry your hair?" Zhang Zian said, pointing to the dryer in the bathroom.
Famous shook its head. "No, it's fine."
"Won't you catch a cold?" Zhang Zian still felt that it was safer to blow dry his hair. After all, it was winter now.
Famous took the lead and walked to the leather sofa. Without turning his head, he replied, "It doesn't matter. The second half will take a long time anyway."
Zhang Zian glanced at the bathroom again and closed the door.
Richard saw them coming back one after the other. It flapped its wings and shouted, "Did I tell you? It was just taking a dump in the bathroom. Where else could it go? You still insist on taking a look. Are you a voyeur? What a freak! "
Zhang Zian was speechless. This b * tch bird was looking for a beating again! I didn't bring a rope with me today, so I'll hang it up when I get back.
Fei Na also said disdainfully, "A grown man is so fussy all day long. He's not even as good as a woman."
"Your Majesty, if he wants to be a woman, I can help." Snowy Lionet looked at Zhang Zian's crotch with evil intentions.
Zhang Zian was about to refute their fallacies when the lights dimmed. The second half of the movie was about to begin.
The elfins were all staring at the screen intently. At this time, no one would listen to him even if he said anything, so he had to swallow his words and wait for the second half of the movie.
Famous also jumped to its seat and quietly lay down. The leather sofa was very soft and high-end, but it was far from the sofa in the luxurious office.
If the first half was a soothing foreshadowing and lyrical, then the second half began. As the military vehicles drove towards the wild western border with armed police officers and police dogs, the atmosphere and soundtrack suddenly changed, and the plot entered the climax stage. When the border police officers were trapped in the snowfield, lacking food and communication, they had to send out the police dog team to break through and ask for help. Even the elfins could feel the tense atmosphere in the movie.
The police dogs ran on the snowy wilderness, with Famous in the front, and Red Dragon and Prince on the left and right sides, forming an arrowhead shape. The blood-red sunset on the western plateau was half below the horizon, and darkness and despair were about to devour everything.
The camera gave a very close close-up of the three police dogs, and even the reflection of the sunset could be seen in their pupils. Through this scene, the determination and persistence in Famous's eyes could be clearly felt, while the eyes of the other two police dogs were very ordinary.
After that, the narrow escape from death when crossing the minefield, and the danger of being besieged by the Tibetan mastiffs, all made the audience so nervous that they were almost out of breath.
Time always passed quickly when watching a good movie.
The police dog team finally arrived at the garrison headquarters, handed the precious letter for help to the sentinel, and collapsed to the ground, covered with cuts and bruises. After that, the trapped armed police officers were rescued in time, and the police dogs received the grandest commendation in the auditorium. They were recorded as a collective second-class merit, and Lightning, played by Famous, was recorded as an individual second-class merit.
The three police dogs squatted side by side on the podium. The camera froze at the moment when the flash went off, and the movie was over.
At the end of the movie, there were all kinds of highlights during the shooting. The credits kept rolling on the screen, and the lights were not turned on for the time being. The elfins were still enjoying the highlights, and from time to time, they were amused by all kinds of embarrassing scenes and forgot their lines.
Famous was also staring at the screen, but it was not watching the highlights, but something else — it was looking for its own name, but couldn't find it.
It was silent for a while, looking sideways at Zhang Zian, and said, "The director seemed to have said that we would appear in the credits at the beginning and the end of the movie."
Zhang Zian responded to its gaze, nodded, and said, "Yes, he did."
"But no, neither yours nor mine," Famous pointed out this fact.
"Because I asked Director Feng not to use your name for the time being," Zhang Zian explained calmly. "There is still a long time before the official release of the movie. I want to wait for you to find your memory and write your real name on it."
Famous murmured and repeated, "My real name …"
"Yes, I know that 'Famous' is the name you gave yourself at the last minute. You should also want your real name to appear in front of the national audience, right? So I asked Director Feng to wait a little longer, and Director Feng agreed. Anyway, there is still post-production, review, and screening, so there is no need to rush. You have enough time to recall. "
Famous lowered its head and said in a low and hoarse voice, "It doesn't matter. Anyway, a name is just a code … Whether it is Famous or something else, it is the same."
"No! A man leaves his name, a wild goose leaves its call, how can it be the same? " Zhang Zian's tone was particularly serious. "This is a movie you acted in. You worked hard on the set, and you even risked your life to fight King Mastiff. I saw all of this. I'm useless. I'm just making a living on the set, but you're different. Although my appreciation ability is limited, in my opinion, this is an excellent movie. Not only is it likely to be a commercial success, but it also carries a very heavy social responsibility. It is a movie that can become a classic. You, who starred in this movie, have the right to leave your name in the history of movies — your real name. "
"My real name … My real name …" Famous's heart was stirred up. It had acted in many movies, but the names of other dogs were displayed on the screen. This would be the first time that it would leave its own name.
The name had a very important meaning to it, which had nothing to do with fame and fortune. It represented its existence. From now on, it was no longer 1/18, no longer number 13. It could finally stand up and walk to the front stage from behind the scenes.
"Yes, your real name," Zhang Zian asked gently, "Famous, do you remember your real name?"
Famous raised its head. It was very happy that it had washed its face before, so it could perfectly cover its tears.
"I remember — my name is Famous," it said, choking with sobs.
Zhang Zian was quite surprised. He had thought that he had guessed its real name, because there were not many dogs in the history of movies that had such good acting skills and were famous. German Shepherds were even rarer, so it was a free question. However, Famous said that its real name was Famous, which made him doubt his own intelligence.
He was about to ask further, but from the corner of his eye, he saw that the highlights at the end of the movie had ended, and the subtitles had also rolled to the end. He suppressed the doubts in his heart and kindly reminded it, "Famous, you should go to the front to give the curtain call."
Famous nodded, jumped off the sofa, and came to the front of the screen.
Just then, the movie ended, and the lights on the ceiling lit up.
Famous squatted upright in front of everyone, bowed deeply, and said, "I am Famous. Thank you for coming to watch my movie!"
Although the elfins did not understand why Famous would deliberately emphasize its name, its unparalleled superb acting skills had completely convinced them, and they all spontaneously applauded — of course, the so-called applause here referred to the slapping of the cat's paws and the fluttering of its wings. Only Zhang Zian was really applauding, so his applause was the loudest.
"Quack! Famous, you acted very well. I have nothing more to teach you! "Richard shouted shamelessly.
Fina nodded reservedly. "It's really not bad. In my opinion, your acting skills have completely surpassed that of the old woman in Cleopatra."
Zhang Zian could not help but want to complain. Aren't you afraid that Elizabeth Taylor's fans will send you razor blades by saying this?
"Meow meow meow! I was watching your movie and forgot to eat snacks! Just play it again, okay? " Snowy Lionet felt wronged. It had planned to touch the claws of His Majesty and have sparks of love when they took snacks from the same food bucket, but in the end, it forgot to eat and missed a great opportunity!
"Stop dreaming. There are still people coming to watch it in the afternoon. If you want to watch it again, wait until it is officially released. "Zhang Zian dispelled its idea.
"Pfft! What a bummer! "Snowy Lionet glared at him angrily.
Old Time Tea stroked its beard and laughed loudly. "You are right. Famous, your acting skills are superb, and I am amazed. You not only played the role to life, but also performed the righteousness of the country. Although you are now unknown, you can't go far without taking small steps. I look forward to the day when you become famous both at home and abroad. "
"Meow! Famous, you acted very well!" Xinghai stared at it with its big silver-gray eyes. "And it will get better and better in the future!"
When the elfins finished speaking, Zhang Zian stood up from his seat, bowed deeply to it and said, "This is the best movie I have ever seen. Thank you, Famous. Thank you for letting us have the honor of watching this movie. "
Famous stared at him and said after a while, "No, I should be the one saying thank you. Thank you for letting me see myself again."
Richard had already flown over impatiently, landed on its back and said, "By the way, remember to call me next time you have a movie appointment. I also want to be addicted to movies! After you become a big star, you should be able to ask for conditions, right? "
"Meow meow meow! I also want to be in a movie, a romance movie with His Majesty! " Snowy Lionet also rushed over and asked Famous about the details of making a movie. The most important thing was how to shoot the sex scenes...
Everyone surrounded Famous like a myriad of stars surrounding the moon, asking questions all at once.
Zhang Zian was complaining that even if the cat sex scenes were filmed, no one would watch it. Suddenly, his cell phone rang.
[Navigation Elf]: Congratulations! The likability of the Reincarnated Dog has been raised to friendly! Unlocking its real name!
[Game Tips]: Pet Properties
[Known As]: Reincarnated Dog
[Rarity]: Elite/Epic
[Characteristics]: Ordinary people know the state of mind, ever-changing but always true!
[Unlocked History]:
It was an ordinary German Shepherd, nameless and mysterious. By chance, it was selected as one of the 18 stunt doubles of the famous dog in film history, Ren Tintin. Because it looked very much like Ren Tintin and was very talented, it replaced Ren Tintin in most of the popular thrilling scenes, including but not limited to fighting with the black bear and jumping over the cliff.
Because it was the 13th chosen stunt dog, people called it 13 on the set, but its real name was buried in film history, and no one knew it.
Not only did 13 play many roles, but it also successfully played another dog for most of its life, and it almost reached the peak of human film glory.
It had thousands of incarnations, but it lost itself.
People thought they saw Ren Tintin on the screen, and they generously gave it applause and flowers — but that was not necessarily the case. Maybe it was 13 that they were ecstatic about.
With the blessing of the power of faith, 13 became an elfin in the world, had the ability to see through people's minds, and could enter other elfins' imagined world to travel.
[Unlocked Real Name]: Ren Tintin's Stunt Dog!
Zhang Zian was so shocked that his jaw almost fell to the ground. It turned out that he had guessed wrong. Famous was not Ren Tintin, but one of Ren Tintin's stunt dogs. It was not Ren Tintin, but it was better than Ren Tintin — it could play all the roles that Ren Tintin played, and it dared to play the scenes that Ren Tintin did not dare to play, and it even played Ren Tintin!
He thought a little and finally realized why it was not Ren Tintin but Famous that became an elfin.
Imagine, if all the martial arts moves of an action movie star in the movie were performed by a stunt double, then who would really get the glory? The action movie star or his stunt double?
Zhang Zian put the phone back into his pocket and looked at Famous, who was surrounded by other elfins. Zhang Zian smiled silently. Zhang Zian did not intend to help Famous, because after the movie was released, Famous would definitely become a big star, surrounded by many reporters and fans, and enjoy the troubles of being famous. Zhang Zian would just take this as a preview, which was what it deserved.
...
After today's trip to the cinema, everyone returned home with a good time. As soon as they returned to the pet shop, they began to discuss what movie to see next.
Famous lay on the side of Zhang Zian's recliner, watching everyone argue in full swing, and its mood was unprecedentedly calm.
Although the pet shop was simple, it did not miss the luxurious and spacious office and the extravagant Hollywood at all.
It finally found peace in its heart, because this was its home, and these elfins and Zhang Zian were its friends and family. What could be more comfortable than being with its family?
Gradually, Famous relaxed and fell asleep.
...
"Brother Famous, are you tired?"
Famous opened its eyes and saw Old Time Tea's kind smile.
"No, I just took a nap." Famous shook its head.
Famous and Old Time Tea lay side by side on the steps in front of the Temple for the Righteous Cat and the Chivalrous Dog, looking at the jungle in the dusk and the bloody setting sun.
"Old Time Tea, go on. Where were we?" Famous said.
Old Time Tea tilted its head to look at it and smiled. "I was talking about the story of the Prince Replaced by a Civet Cat. It was about the reign of Emperor Zhenzong of the Song Dynasty. Concubine Liu conspired with the eunuchs to replace Concubine Li's baby with a skinned civet cat. They slandered Concubine Li for giving birth to a monster. Concubine Li was banished to the Cold Palace. After Emperor Zhenzong died, Emperor Renzong ascended the throne.
Famous said, "Old Time Tea, I also want to tell you a story. It's also a story about a leopard cat replacing the crown prince, but it's different from this one. It happens in the United States on the other side of the world, probably in a few years. Do you want to hear it?"
"Of course." Old Time Tea smiled.
Famous was about to tell the story, but it was shocked and asked, "Wait, Old Time Tea, what did you just call yourself?"
Old Time Tea laughed. "When you were napping, I thought about it. I am not young anymore, so I might as well call myself 'Old Time Tea.'"
Famous looked at it and nodded. "Well, I still think this name suits you better."
"By the way, before you start your story, I have something that I don't understand and would like to ask you in person. Previously, your eyes were white and dusty, but now they are as clear as new. Did you get your memory back?" Old Time Tea keenly noticed the difference.
Sure enough, nothing could be hidden from Old Time Tea's keen eyes. "I found it. This is the story I wanted to tell you."
Old Time Tea nodded happily. "Okay, then I will give you a word of encouragement. Do good things, don't ask about the future. Don't forget your original intention, and you will be successful."
Just as Famous was about to thank Old Time Tea, it heard a soft meow behind it.
