Chapter Eighty-four: Don't Play Mind Games with Me

  "Ding ding dong, ding ding dong, the bell rings ding dong!"

  The beautiful music started playing quietly without anyone noticing.

  As the beautiful singing voice faded away, a snowflake gently fell to the ground, one, two, three or four, and soon, the entire Los Angeles was covered in silver.

  Beautiful snowflakes, wonderful music, as if announcing to people that Christmas is coming.

  At the same time, with Christmas approaching, the entire North American entertainment circle is still in an uproar over previous events, while DreamWorks, as the protagonist of public opinion, is doing a booming business.

  As staff under DreamWorks Pictures, directors Bill Hader and Jack Black, as well as actors Natasha and Gyllenhaal, became famous in Hollywood for the two films "Cruise of Terror" and "Buried Alive".

  Accept media interviews, take posters, make reports, sign for fans...

  At this time, Rabbit Bill and others can be said to be busy and happy.

  Compared to the high-profile of Rabbit Bill, as the "magician" behind all this, Yi Feiyang is much more low-key. At this moment, he is squatting in the bathroom washing his little dog "Popo".

  Take a good bath, and your body will feel great.

  The white soap bubbles wrapped Popo into a little white dog.

  These days, the little dog Bobo kept running back to his owner Old John's residence, barking non-stop at the cold and quiet door; after a while, he would wander around the entrance. When hungry, he would jump into the trash can to find something to eat; when tired, he would squeeze into the corner of the wall and curl up.

  But whether it's searching for something or curling up, its eyes will always be fixed on the place where it used to live... There was happiness and laughter there, with the owner's intimate whispers, and a warm doghouse... Perhaps in its mind, its owner is not dead, just doesn't want it anymore.

  As mentioned above, the little dog Bobo had to stay there for a long time every time. It got dirty all over and was not found until Yifei Yang picked it up again and carefully carried it back home.

  ……

  It is often said that dogs are man's best friends and they are more loyal and devoted than any other animals.

  Yi Feiyang didn't quite believe it at first, but from the little dog Bobo, Yi Feiyang saw this point. He had to admit that sometimes animals really have more human feelings than humans!

  In his previous life, Yi Feiyang had also seen a few stories about humans and dogs, such as the Japanese movie "Hachiko Monogatari".

  It is said that this play is adapted from a true story that took place in Japan in 1935.

  Hachiko was brought to Tokyo by his owner, Ueno Hidesaburo, and every morning he would see him off at the door when he left for work. In the evening, he would wait for him at the nearby Shibuya Station.

  One evening, Ueno Hidesaburo did not return home as usual. He suddenly suffered a stroke at the university and died after failing to be rescued. He never returned to that train station again, but Hachiko remained loyal and waited for him...

  This film caused a huge sensation in Japan after its release, and later an American film company bought the rights to remake it, with Hollywood star Richard Gere starring.

  Apart from this, Yi Feiyang also remembered a South Korean movie called "A Man and a Woman".

  This play tells the story of two children and a dog's fate.

  The story is very touching, especially the protagonist - that little white dog, can be said to be very eye-catching, almost the entire play revolves around it. Yi Feiyang believes that if that dog were human, he would definitely be a great actor.

  The story of Little Dog Bebe and Old John reminded Yifei Yang of these two plays.

  "What if their story was also made into a movie?" Yì Fēi Yáng suddenly thought.

  The idea flashed through his mind.

  Yi Feiyang suddenly had an urge to make a movie, and the story prototype of this movie was Xiao Gou Bobo and Old John...

  For Yifeiyang, the story of Little Dog Bobo and Old John is more similar to "Hachiko Monogatari". If a film were to be made, he could borrow from that Japanese movie.

  However, this warm and sentimental film is unlike a horror movie, with very high demands on the actors.

  Especially the role of "actor dog". It must be carefully selected, because the little dogs here cannot be ordinary pets or companions, they need to have the ability to truly feel and perform emotions such as distress and joy.

  For Yi Feiyang, if he really wants to shoot such a film, he must face three things.

  First, there must be a good script. Whether it's the characters or the story, it must be able to move people's hearts and make them feel emotional and tearful.

  Secondly, there should be a good little dog as the protagonist, who can "listen" to its own commands and perform its "dog" role perfectly.

  Thirdly, sufficient funds and time are required to support the filming of this play. It is known that shooting a literary film is the most torturous!

  But now is obviously not the time.

  Yi Feiyang shook his head, bringing back the wandering thoughts, looking at the small dog Bobo in the bathtub who had been washed clean, taking a towel to wipe the mischievous little guy's body...

  Just then, "Bang" a sound, the bathroom door was pushed open.

  In the bathtub, Puppy Bobo was frightened and jumped up, with his four limbs splayed out, splashing a face full of foam on Yifei Yang.

  Then Bunny Bill stumbled in, drunk and tearfully said: "Boss, I want to thank you, this is the most impressive thing that's ever happened to me in my life, uh...!" He let out a belch.

  "You don't know, haha, now those doggy reporters see me and they're like seeing their own father, so affectionate, I never dared to imagine that there would be a day like today... really have to thank you, wuwuwu, I finally got to hold my head high and stand out from the crowd, too grateful! May God bless you!"

  "You're drunk." Yì Fēi Yáng said after waiting for a long time for Bill the rabbit to finish speaking.

  "No, I'm not drunk! I'm just happy... Ugh, where's the toilet? I need to... throw up!"

  ……

  Rabbit Bill had just been kicked out by Yi Feiyang, and before Yi Feiyang could pick up the towel to wipe his face, "Bang" - the bathroom door was pushed open again, and foam splashed on Yi Feiyang's face once more.

  This time it was Fat Jack who sneaked in.

  Jack hadn't drunk any wine, but his face was flushed and he looked very excited.

  "Boss, I want to thank you! You gave me the opportunity to act in films! If it weren't for your support and promotion, who knows, maybe I'd still be stuck somewhere writing screenplays!"

  "How can I put it, boss? You are my sun, you are the parents who gave me a second life! For you, I only have gratitude and appreciation, of course, also thankfulness!"

  "Ah, right! Boss, what do you need me to do for you? As long as I can do it, I'll definitely not refuse! Ha, tell me, let me do whatever!" Fatso patted his chest, completely with a grateful and willing-to-repay-favors look.

  Yi Feiyang wiped the foam off his face in frustration and said to the fatty, "Really want to repay me? Then get lost!"

  Fat Jack: "......"

  After a while

  "This is also too humiliating!"

  With a swing of his hips, the fat boy rushed out of the door.

  Yi Feiyang finally let out a sigh of relief.

  What kind of world is this, where even giving a dog a bath can't be done in peace!

  The little dog Poppo seemed to understand Yifei Yang's heart and barked a few times.

  Yi Feiyang didn't expect it to be so obedient, so he picked up the little dog and said, "Little guy, don't you think they're annoying? They won't even let you take a bath? But it's okay, I've already chased them all away! Come on, be good and listen, let me wash your butt again!"

  Just as Yi Feiyang was about to sacrifice himself to help the little dog Bobo wipe his butt, footsteps sounded...

  Yi Feiyang immediately became vigilant and used Popo to block in front of himself... This time it shouldn't splash onto his own face, right?!

  Unfortunately, this time it wasn't a sudden intrusion. The person outside was very polite and knocked three times on the door.

  I was wrong!

  Yi Feiyang was surprised and suspicious, in his own team there were either perverts or rough men, who would be so well-mannered?

  The bathroom door was opened by someone and then "Chocolate Girl" Jessica Alba stood at the doorway.

  "Sorry to disturb you, dear Director Yi." Jessica glanced at the little dog PoPo being held by Yi Feiyang as a shield, "Oh, your little dog is so adorable."

  "Don't flatter, no, I mean, don't pat the little dog's butt... What's up, just say it..." Yifei Yang knew that this Jessica girl seemed innocent and harmless on the surface, but in reality, she was not someone to be underestimated, and who knows what she wanted from him.

  "Anyway, 'oh, it's nothing really,'" Jessica said, chewing her gum and looking nonchalant, "'I just wanted to know, what's your next project? If possible, I'd love to be the female lead!'"

  "Of course, if you really don't need me, I won't force it. As a matter of fact, several film companies have approached me recently, hoping I could go and help them with their films... Well, how should I put it, I'm someone who values relationships, so for now, I haven't agreed to join them."

  Jessica said this while secretly cursing in her heart: "Damn it, why didn't you give me a chance? I'm going to use resignation to threaten you and see what you do!"

  During this time, the male and female leads of the two films "Buried" and "Cruise of Terror", both produced by Dream Factory, became popular. Even though it was banned, the popularity of Anne Hathaway, the female lead in "The Devil's Recording", surpassed that of Jessica.

  For Jessica, who has always been arrogant and thinks that she is first-rate in terms of appearance, figure, and even acting skills, this is absolutely a great shame.

  "If I were the heroine, I would definitely do better than them!" she thought.

  With this idea in mind, Jessica couldn't help but come to Yifei Yang, hoping to get a promise from him: the female lead of the next play must be herself!

  Yi Feiyang is what kind of person, one look at Jessica's appearance, and understood her intention.

  But Yi Feiyang did not intend to accept her threat.

  Little girl, you're still too tender for mind games with me!
