Chapter 234 Tiger Cub, Come Down to Meet the Guests
The tiger was the animal that had practiced the longest and was quite majestic. As soon as it opened its mouth, everyone held their heads high and looked at Su Leyun and his group with a proud and majestic look.
Director Chen felt that he was not visiting a zoo, but rather attending a military parade, and these animals were his soldiers.
Su Leyun smiled without saying anything, and walked to the cage of a large bird: "This is Director Chen, say hello."
The majestic bird actually nodded and made a crisp chirp, as if it was greeting Director Chen.
Director Chen was surprised and delighted, his eyes widened: "This... is this trained?"
"It's not training." Su Leyun said softly, then turned to the tiger lying on the rockery basking in the sun: "Tiger cub, come down to meet the guests."
The majestic king of beasts blinked its amber eyes and jumped down lightly, looking as tall as half a person. Director Chen was so scared that he took a step back unconsciously, but the tiger did not move at all. It just walked to Su Leyun's legs and rubbed them affectionately.
Director Chen swallowed his saliva and said, "Does it really not need to be locked up?"
This is a ferocious beast! Is it true that nothing will happen if we put it in the same space with other people?
Just as he finished speaking, Director Chen felt something soft under his feet. He turned back stiffly and saw the giant python spitting out its tongue and looking at him innocently.
"Why is there a snake here?"
Director Chen was so frightened that he almost fainted. Fortunately, Chu Yanxiao reached out and helped him up: "Director Chen, are you okay?"
The giant python also realized that it had scared someone, and quickly swam to Su Leyun's feet. Su Leyun said, "Don't be afraid, Director Chen. They are very human and will not hurt anyone."
Su Leyun said as he squatted down and rubbed the tiger's head affectionately, and the tiger purred with satisfaction.
This is not the king of beasts in the jungle, it's clearly just a little kitten acting like a spoiled child.
"Oh my God!" Director Chen was almost speechless: "Can they really understand you?"
"More than that." Su Leyun blinked: "Come on, perform a backflip for Director Chen."
The tiger obediently did a beautiful backflip, flicking its tail gracefully as it landed.
Director Chen's jaw almost dropped to the ground. He had worked with many animals before, but animals were animals after all, and even trained animals were difficult to control. This was the first time he had seen one so obedient: "Su Leyun, how did you do it?"
Su Leyun smiled mysteriously: "Maybe it's fate, they are so close to me."
Director Chen excitedly grabbed Su Leyun's shoulders and said, "Su Leyun, you are not only our actor and art director, but now you are also the animal director of "Strange Stories from Mountains and Seas"! Bring the animals you need to the set after filming begins!"
"Okay!" Su Leyun nodded, and the animals also started to spin around happily.
In fact, he arranged for them to audition not only to let them earn their own living expenses, but more importantly, filming would allow them to come into contact with many people and things, which would be very helpful for their lives after they were transformed into human form.
On the way back in the car, Director Chen couldn't help but keep looking at Su Leyun through the rearview mirror. This seemingly young new actor seemed to have so many surprises.
I didn't just choose a male lead, I clearly found a treasure!
Director Chen attached great importance to "Strange Stories from Mountains and Seas" and naturally raised his requirements for the actors. One month before the filming started, Su Leyun received a notice to join the crew for training.
At this time, Su Leyun didn't know how cruel the training was. He excitedly discussed the content of the training with Chu Yanxiao. Chu Yanxiao packed his luggage and prepared him mentally in advance: "I heard that Director Chen's training camp is comparable to a weight loss camp. Many actors have lost a lot of weight after coming out of his training camp."
Su Leyun disagreed: "It doesn't matter. As a professional actor, you have to be brave enough to face difficulties!"
Chu Yanxiao smiled: "Okay, then you should work hard, I will come to visit you when I am free."
"Yeah!" Su Leyun's eyes were filled with excitement about joining the new crew, and he had no idea what he would face next.
At six o'clock in the morning at the training base, the martial arts instructor's whistle pierced the sky.
"Teacher Su," the coach looked at Su Leyun, who was curled up on the yoga mat and pretending to be dead, and said, "The physical training class is about to begin."
Su Leyun buried his face in his coat and said in a muffled voice: "Just say that I have a sudden illness and cannot participate..."
"Director Chen specifically instructed us to do this," the coach ruthlessly raised the tablet, on which was a roaring message from the director: [Su Leyun's physical fitness must keep up! 】
Su Leyun sighed resentfully - he really didn't expect this training camp to be so difficult. For him who didn't like sports, it was simply torture!
"Who said yesterday that they wanted to be professional actors?"
Chu Yanxiao knew that the training had to start very early recently, so he bought breakfast and came to visit. Seeing Su Leyun slumped like a cat pancake, he squatted down and poked the bulging ball of his coat.
"Professional actors don't need to become fitness coaches!" Hearing Chu Yanxiao's voice, Su Leyun showed a pair of wet eyes from his coat: "And Bai Ze is a civilian beast! The Classic of Mountains and Seas clearly states that it 'often sits and discusses Taoism'!"
"Director Chen said," Chu Yanxiao held back his laughter and flipped through the script, "In the new version, Bai Ze is going to save the world."
"..." Su Leyun closed his eyes in despair, "I want to send a razor blade to Director Chen."
Although he was extremely reluctant, Su Leyun still gritted his teeth and insisted on training in order to meet the requirements of the role. Chu Yanxiao only knew that he was tired recently, so he would run to the training camp whenever he had time and accompany Su Leyun in training. After a period of time, Chu Yanxiao's physique was better than before, but Su Leyun did not have much change.
Fortunately, Su Leyun didn't care. He just touched Chu Yanxiao's arm muscles lovingly: "Anyway, your figure has improved, and I will enjoy it in the end. It's good, it's good."
Chu Yanxiao's eyes darkened when he heard this, and that night he tortured Su Leyun so much that his back and waist ached.
The next day, in the morning light of the training camp, Su Leyun was lying on the yoga mat pretending to be dead, when he suddenly felt a shadow cast over his head.
"Are you the one who plays Bai Ze?" The deep male voice said with some contempt: "You look weak and frail."
Su Leyun slowly raised his head and saw a muscular man looking down at him.
The other person was wearing a tight training vest, his chest muscles were almost bursting through the fabric, and there were a few drops of sweat on his arms that he had deliberately not wiped off - it was the popular action star who played Taotie, Luo Chengyan.
They have all been in the training camp for a while, but Luo Chengyan's last drama had just finished not long ago, so he came to the training camp later than everyone else. This was the first time Su Leyun met him, and he didn't expect that he would be so unfriendly.
Moreover, its appearance was very different from the Taotie in his impression.
