Chapter 141
The scene was truly bizarre.
The weather was not very good today, the sky was gloomy and gray. Li Phou stood under the cloudless sky, and the parrot on his body looked even whiter, as if emitting a faint fluorescence.
If the parrot had not tilted its head the next second and raised its paw to scratch its itchy flesh, showing movements consistent with a small animal, he would have really thought that Dabai had become a spirit.
...and Li Pho is not the kind of person who would deliberately scare people.
Director Sun wiped his sweat off his forehead and said, "I didn't expect that after not seeing you for a year, you have completely mastered the Dabai Sect."
He glanced at the big parrot on Li Pu's shoulder again and asked worriedly, "Are you really okay?"
Li Pu nodded, "It's really okay."
Director Sun threatened him: "If Dabai flies away, I won't be responsible!"
Li Pu smiled and said, "Dabai won't fly around randomly."
As if in response to his words, the snow-white parrot rubbed its head against the man's face, making a "cat" sound.
The filming location of "Bird Song" was in a villa in the suburbs, which was said to be provided by Director Sun's friend. It had been uninhabited for a long time and stood alone in the mountains.
The house looked quite exquisite and beautiful from the outside, but because no one had taken care of it for a long time, the weeds grew lushly in October, and many vines had already climbed up the walls of the villa. Combined with the cloudy sky, it really presented a gloomy atmosphere.
"Why is it so creepy..." Bai Gaoxing muttered in Li Pu's ear.
Li Pho touched the parrot's head.
"Ah? Teacher Li, did you say anything?" Director Sun turned around.
Bai Gaoxing coughed a few times and pretended nothing happened.
Director Sun drove them up the mountain. The road leading to the villa was well-maintained and wide enough for three cars to drive side by side. But Director Sun told them that when they started filming, the actors would have to walk on the other side where there was no road, as the effect would be better there.
Bai Gaoxing glanced at the so-called "place on the other side where there is no road". There were overgrown weeds and gullies everywhere, as if a snake might suddenly jump out or fall into the gully at any time.
It's scary.
Finally, they arrived near the villa. Director Sun stopped the car and turned off the engine. He hesitated for a moment before opening the door. "Teacher Li, there will be a lot of people here soon. Are you really not going to put Dabai in the bag?"
Li Pu and Bai Gaoxing looked at each other and said, "No need."
"Put it in, put it in." Director Sun was really frightened.
In order not to leave a psychological shadow on Director Sun, Bai Gaoxing took the initiative to get into the bird bag and let Li Pu carry him.
As you approach the villa, you'll find that the equipment has been set up, and the areas that cannot be used for filming have been cleared out, with tables and chairs placed there, and on the tables are a pile of bottles and jars, all filled with toilet water.
"Ouch, I'm being bitten to death..." A woman wearing a long-sleeved dress but sandals kept shooing away mosquitoes around her feet.
"Haha, Sister Qing, let me light a mosquito coil for you." A young man took a fan and helped fan.
Bai Gaoxing squinted his eyes and observed for a while, and found that the woman was actually an acquaintance, Huang Shaqing, who played the empress in "The Long Song".
At this moment, Huang Shaqing's face was full of resentment, and her innocent face was full of her desire to eat everyone.
As for the young man next to her, I don’t know him.
While observing, Director Sun and Teacher Li Pu had already approached. Huang Shaqing noticed them and stood up to greet them: "You're back, Director Sun, Teacher Li - Hey, Dabai!"
Bai Gaoxing immediately got out of the unzipped bag and said, "Hi~~"
Director Sun: "Yes, you have worked together before, so I won't introduce you too much. Huang Shaqing, Xia Tian. This is Teacher Li. Dabai, the dog he raised, is your partner this time."
Xia Tian was a stranger, but he seemed to have heard of him. As soon as Director Sun finished speaking, Bai Gaoxing noticed Xia Tian's curious look and came closer, "Can you do it?"
As he spoke, he stretched out his finger and tested it.
Bai Gaoxing opened his bloody mouth and bit him suddenly.
“Ah——!” Xia Tian’s expression of pain suddenly calmed down, “It doesn’t hurt.”
Huang Shaqing also came over and said in a warm tone, "Dabai, do you still remember me?"
Bai Gaoxing nodded, "I'll remember~"
Director Sun said, "Everyone is here, let's get familiar with the venue today." Turning back, "Will Teacher Li take Dabai or will we take him?"
Li Pho said gently: "I have time today, I will do it."
Li Pu picked up the bird bag, Huang Shaqing put her hands around Bai Gaoxing and whispered to be careful, but the next second, Bai Gaoxing took off straight and flew towards the villa that she had been interested in for a long time.
There was a rippling sound, and everyone present saw a snow-white shadow jump out and then fly away.
Huang Shaqing and Xia Tian, who were closest to the scene, were petrified at the same time.
"Ahhh, there's no leash, what's going on?!!!"
"Hurry, hurry, hurry, help!"
"What should I do??? Is there a net?"
The two of them immediately lost their expression. Zi'er screamed and spun around, almost bumping into each other. Only Li Pu, who was standing aside, had a calm expression, as if the bird flying was not his.
"Teacher Li, please take care of this!!!" Huang Shaqing was so terrified that she lost control of her facial expression.
Li Pho said, "It's okay, Dabai will come back."
Really??
Everyone felt their hearts in their throats as they looked at the sky, which was now as calm as water and without any bird in sight.
At the same time, the bird in question had flown behind the villa.
Unlike humans, as a bird, Bai Gaoxing can see the scenery below and use any angle he wants - he has been thinking about doing this for a long time. It happened on the set of "The Long Song", but Li Pu was watching him very closely, fearing that he would break the chain and fly away.
But there was really nothing fun to do in the wilderness, so he quickly turned around and went back.
When people saw the shadow of the bird in the sky becoming clearer and clearer and finally landing on Li Pho's shoulder, their admiration was as surging as a river.
"Mom, did Dabai go to school this year?" Huang Shaqing asked tremblingly.
I have to say, it is true in some ways.
Bai Gaoxing uttered a squeak.
"It's good that Dabai doesn't fly around...but we still have to be careful." Director Sun touched his little dirty face and said, "Let's go up."
…
The villa has three floors.
The protagonist of the story was looking for a way in a strange and quiet villa. He accidentally came to the third floor and saw a bird in a dilapidated cage. He approached curiously and was very confused as to why there was a bird in a cage in an empty villa.
Just as his hand was about to reach the cage door, the bird let out a miserable cry like a woman.
The protagonist was stunned, and then heard the bird knocking the stand in the cage with its beak. After repeating this three times, the bird pushed the door open and flew out of the broken window.
The props team was setting up this bird cage - originally they wanted to make it cozy, but after Director Sun's repeated speculations, it became a slightly twisted and deformed iron frame with peeling paint.
"This door is broken. It can be opened from the inside." Director Sun pointed to the small mechanism behind the cage door and said, "We have to teach Dabai to open it when the time comes."
Li Pu just took a look and said, "Okay."
What are you doing? Director Sun looked at Li Pho in confusion. He had also found a trainer this time. Could it be that Li Pho wanted to teach him himself?
"We also made some fake tail hair and put it on Dabai."
The prop team took out some messy, curled, and slightly dirty feathers, and Director Sun explained, "Dabai is too new."
Okay.
Bai Gaoxing looked at himself and realized that it was his fault for being so slick.
Xia Tian is the young actor who plays the protagonist. He is in his early twenties and looks very young. His face looks like that of a protagonist.
As the only co-star with Bai Gaoxing, Xia Tian was asked to get to know Dabai well.
Looking at the young man circling around him and trying to feed him, Bai Gaoxing raised his paw to refuse: That's enough, I'm already familiar with it.
Half an hour later, Bai Gaoxing was able to shake hands with Xia Tian in a friendly manner.
I always feel chilly around me in the summer. I look around but can't figure out where the chill comes from. I rubbed the hand that was holding Bai Gaoxing's paw.
Li Pu said directly: "It's almost done, let me teach Dabai."
Xia Tian quickly let go, "Okay, okay, please, please."
Bai Gaoxing looked at Li Pu who was gently rubbing his paws in front of him, and quickly retracted his paws.
Why is this person jealous?
…
The news that Dabai had returned to the arena spread quickly.
As netizens were excitedly looking forward to it, someone posted a video of a large white parrot spreading its wings and flying on the set, which was met with a cry of grief: "What happened? Did the white parrot run away?!"
The sight of it suddenly taking off in the wilderness was terrifying. It was obvious that there was no rope attached to its big white legs.
"It's over, it's over, let go."
"I've done this before. I watched my chicken run away. I hope it can meet a good person TAT"
"Is this in the mountains? Can we still find it? There might be wild beasts and snakes..."
Some cried, some howled, some cursed Li Pu for being irresponsible, and the comment section was in chaos.
Until Director Sun released a new video.
"Don't worry, Dabai didn't fly. Teacher Li..." He looked back and saw the scene of Li Pu letting the parrot fly and then taking it back, "Teacher Li is giving Dabai special training."
Netizen: ????
What is this large white boomerang?
It’s too sticky, Dabai!
"Dream lover, Baymax."
"Wodema, this clingy feeling that can't be shaken off no matter what I do! I love you."
Fans' moods were up and down, and the extremely high level of discussion created a large number of topics.
At this time, Bai Gaoxing, who had only arrived on the set two hours ago, had already started rehearsing.
"The sound made by the birds is actually a distress signal. The international distress signal is SOS, which is replaced by Morse code as three short, three long, and three short." The instructor used his fingers to imitate on the table, "It's a rhythm of 'tut-tut-tut, tut...tut...tut-tut'."
"Tuttutt, tut...tut...tut...tutt." A similar sound was heard.
The instructor nodded, "Yes, that's right, Teacher Li, you——"
Li Pu was seen standing there with his arms crossed, not making any move.
Bai Gaoxing was happily knocking on the cage, "too much, too much, too much".
The counselor felt unemployed.
It can be said that this is the most difficult message for the parrot to convey in the movie. What the hell is it that can be learned in just one second???
[I think Dabai has become a spirit.] That night, the trainer posted this message on his personal Weibo.
It caused a heated discussion.
The instructor himself is somewhat famous, and his words attracted the support of fans who believe that "Dabai = Xiaobai", and then he was warned by the official anti-feudal superstition blog.
Fortunately, this world is very scientific.
At night, Bai Gaoxing lay in bed, scrolled through the comments that strongly supported him, and turned off his phone.
She pushed Li Pho away and breathed in the cool air with her slightly swollen mouth.
Really...
In preparation for tomorrow's official filming, he decided to turn into a parrot and sleep.
