Debut of the Black Cat

The young man who was pondering what was wrong also noticed Xia Yu's actions.

The group of people looked at Xia Yu, not knowing what he was trying to do.

Xia Yu took a step forward and once again rushed into the path full of rocks and branches. This time, he didn't dodge but plowed straight through, knocking aside all the obstacles on the road.

The rocks were made of foam, but the branches were real.

"Why did the cat suddenly become stupid when it was so smart just a moment ago?" one staff member asked.

"Maybe it thinks it's fun to bump into things?" another staff member suggested.

"Hey, could it be that there's something wrong with that cat food, causing this cat to go crazy?" the onlookers of old men and women joined in.

The crowd looked at the young man, who frowned and fell silent for three seconds, then suddenly slapped his thigh, "That's it!"

"What do you mean?" the cameraman asked, puzzled.

"The script is wrong; it needs serious revision!" Taking out a pen, the young man made a few marks on the script and asked the staff to reorganize the set.

He looked at the black cat again, wondering in his heart: Did this black cat suddenly appear because it had already noticed the problem and was trying to remind me?

How could that be? It was probably just a coincidence that it wanted to play.

Shaking his head, the young man discussed the new script with Yuxue and started shooting again.

Xia Yu took another step forward, but this time, it didn't rush towards the cat food. Instead, it headed toward the braised fish.

There was a brief commotion on set, but the young man stopped it. After the previous incident, he held a hint of expectation for the black cat.

Seeing the black cat eating the fish while glancing at the cat food in the distance, he slapped his thigh again, "Right, this part should be changed too!"

"What do you mean?" the lighting technician asked.

"Abruptly giving up the fish in its mouth to pursue the cat food through the thorns would make the emotional portrayal even more intense!" the young man said.

"It's too difficult. How could a cat possibly give up the food in its mouth to chase another? You didn't instruct it to do that before, could the cat really understand it on its own?" Before the lighting technician could finish his question, the black cat put down the fish and took another path.

"Damn!" the lighting technician couldn't help but curse.

After Xia Yu reached the cat food and finished eating it, the young man called for a halt. This was considered complete.

After checking the shooting results, the young man excitedly approached Yuxue, "This is fantastic!"

Yuxue had no experience in story creation, so she was puzzled about the script change. To her, it was just the young man and her own cat playing around.

However, she also felt that the later part of the shooting was more comfortable than the previous one.

If she had to analyze why it was more comfortable, maybe it was because her cat had more screen time?

This was how laymen view professionals. Laymen can sense the difference between good and bad but don't have the ability to analyze where the strengths and weaknesses lie. If they try to force an analysis, they can only come to amusing conclusions like Yuxue.

"Right, I forgot to have you sign the contract." The young man suddenly remembered that he had forgotten something. He took out the contract, thought for a moment, and threw it into a nearby trash can.

Turning around, he told his assistant, "Print a new contract with a payment of five thousand."

The sudden increase in payment did not make Yuxue happy but rather somewhat panicked.

"Two thousand is enough." She waved her hand.

"No, no, no, two thousand is not enough." The young man initially thought that this black cat was just a little clever, but now it seemed that this was a very playful black cat!

This black cat had the potential to become popular. In the future, the appearance fee might start at 100,000.

While this black cat was still not popular, the young man wanted to show some affection, so that it would be easier to talk in the future.

Yan Wei, standing on the side, watched Yuxue with the black cat making five thousand yuan in just an hour, astounded.

The profit of her noodle shop was only twenty thousand a month, and she had to work so hard for it.

More importantly, how powerful was this black cat?

Unlike Yuxue, she could see the value of the black cat.

On the way home, Yan Wei held Xia Yu while observing him closely.

Waving its claw to shake off her inappropriate finger, Xia Yu jumped onto Yuxue's shoulder.

Yuxue's right hand held a bag of cat food, which was the remaining prop.

"Meow!" Xia Yu called towards Yan Wei and pointed at the cat food bag in Yuxue's hand.

Yan Wei pointed at herself, stunned, "Me?"

Xia Yu nodded.

Taking the cat food bag from Yuxue's hand, Yan Wei was still a little dazed.

This cat could even give orders?

After sending Yuxue home and returning to her shop, she was still pondering the matter of the black cat.

If this black cat was so impolite, would she become its slave after marrying into the Xia family?

However, this cat was also a member of the Xia family, so she had to find a way to get closer.

On Saturday, the next day, Yan Wei brought a can of cat food and went to Xia's house.

"Brother Wei, come on, it's out!" Yuxue and Xia Yu were watching the phone together.

Leaning behind the pair, Yan Wei saw the finished product.

The video began with the black cat standing at the starting point, looking at two roads.

The narration sounded:

"In a cat's life, there are always many forks in the road."

The screen showed two roads, one on the left filled with "giant rocks," dark and terrifying, the other on the right with no obstacles, bright and spacious.

"Reason tells me that the right side is the correct choice."

The black cat stepped through the flat road and arrived at a plate of braised fish, starting to eat.

"But is this really what I want?"

The black cat raised its head, looking at the cat food on the other forked road. The camera zoomed in on the cat food.

"In life, is the right choice always good?"

A slow-motion shot appeared, the black cat twisted its body and began taking steps.

The camera returned to normal speed, and the black cat rushed into the dark road, branches cracking beneath its claws.

"Even if this road is full of thorns."

Another slow-motion shot appeared, the black cat smashing through the "giant rocks" blocking its way.

"Even if this road leaves me with scars."

The camera returned to normal, the black cat running quickly.

"I am still full of fighting spirit."

At last, the black cat passed through the thorny path, climbed the "mountain," and arrived next to the cat food.

"Because this is what I truly want."

Lowering its head, the black cat started eating the cat food.

The camera turned once more, and the package of cat food next to it entered the picture.

"Langshan Cat Food, nutritious and delicious, loved by cats."

A Wolf Mountain Cat Food logo occupied the entire screen.

"Purchase cat food now and get a 90% discount. We have five branches in Ziling, located in the Development Zone, Tongsheng Avenue, and so on."

After watching, Yan Wei and Yuxue's emotions couldn't calm down for a long time.

They didn't feel much at the scene, but after the post-editing and the narrations, they truly appreciated the awesomeness of it.

They picked up a black cat on one side, and the two women happily teased it.

"Meow meow meow?" The black cat looked confused.

Smiling, Xia Yu stood up and returned to his bedroom, switched to An Siyao's body.

He had accumulated many game points and learned most of the tune. Today, he could advance to Level 4!
