496 Movie Dream (2/2)

”This is your last chance. If you fail to jump over the cliff, I'm not your owner anymore,” its owner said coldly.

Babe didn't understand him, but could tell from his facial expressions that something bad was happening. Babe had never seen its owner so angry before. Babe couldn't think straight due to the stress and the heat.

Babe succumbed to its fate. Obeying its owner trumped surviving.

The scene started once again.

This time, Babe didn't stop on the edge of the cliff. All it saw was its owner, standing on the other side with open arms. As long as Babe made the jump, Babe would be forgiven.

Babe jumped, creating a graceful arc in the air, and was about to land on the other side.

Seeing that the scene was about to finish, the crew members were relieved.

However, due to the powerful winds, the seemingly stable rocks on the other side of the cliff had loosened. Impacted by Babe's landing, the rocks suddenly collapsed!

To everyone's surprise, several rocks fell off the cliff.

Babe had not landed steadily on the cliff. It stumbled and its back legs hung in the air. Unable to muster any strength, its two front legs were clinging to the stones.

To make sure he wouldn't appear on camera, its owner was standing five meters away from the cliff. When he realized that Babe was in danger, he tried to walk towards it so he could pull it from the edge.

”Don't move!”

The director stood up from his chair and shouted, ”Who told you to move? Did I say 'cut?'”

Babe's owner was stunned. His absolute obedience to the director stopped him from rushing to Babe.

The director excitedly picked up the walkie-talkie and asked the cinematographer, ”Did you get that? What a pleasant surprise!”

The cinematographer made an ”okay” gesture from afar. The director, now satisfied, sat back in his chair and shouted, ”Cut!”

Babe's owner ran to the edge of the cliff and went to pull Babe from the edge, but he was too late. Babe was tired of holding onto the cliff.

If he arrived sooner, he would've been able to pull Babe from the edge.

Babe fell.

In Babe's memory, all it saw was the blue sky, as if it was swimming in the air. Its owner's hand moved farther and farther away from Babe. Babe's fall was as graceful as a slow-motion video.

Babe wasn't scared, it was happy because it had seen its owner's concern.

My owner has finally forgiven me, thought Babe.

Babe landed in the net. One of its front leg was broken because Babe hit a rock on the way down. The bone pierced through its skin.

Babe's whining echoed through the mountains.

The most ironic thing, no one benefited from this movie.

There was more than one police dog and police dog trainer in the crew. Someone reported the behavior of Babe's owner to the police force. As the evidence was against him, Babe's owner was expelled from the police force for neglecting his duties.

Each year, 90% of the movies filmed in China fail to be released in theaters, and this movie became one of them.

The producer's investment and desire to make his relative's German Shepherd a star went down the drain.

After Babe recovered from its injury, its front leg was permanently disabled. It remained in the police force and was taken care of by a new owner. From then on, it only carried out simple tasks, such as patrolling, until the day of its retirement. It was then sent to this police dog nursing home.

However, Babe still missed its previous owner. It had forgotten that he had ever kicked it, all it remembered was the genuine concern in his eyes when it fell.

Just like Luo Luo, Babe was waiting for its owner to come and take it away.

After his dream of making a movie was crushed, Babe's former owner was expelled from the police force and disappeared. Babe never saw him again.

If there was still a glimmer of hope for Luo Luo, then Babe's waiting was futile.

Famous burst into tears without thinking.
