Chapter 142

Unfortunately, I won't be able to be with Li Pu in the next few days as he has other announcements and can't continue to accompany him on the set.

So it became Mei Youshu who helped with the pick-up and care.

"Don't you need to zip up your bag? Don't fly around..."

Walking on the mountain road to the crew, Mei Youshu looked straight ahead, holding the bird bag in an upright position.

——After knowing that Dabai was a human, his fear was reduced, but he was still afraid of the appearance of a bird. The complex emotions intertwined together and became... very strange.

Bai Gaoxing lay in the bird bag, chewing snacks and comforting him: "Don't worry, am I that kind of parrot?"

How could it not be? Mei Youshu complained in his heart. Don’t think he didn’t see yesterday’s hot search.

But the feeling of communicating face to face with a bird without any obstacles was even stranger. Mei Youshu couldn't describe this weird feeling. He could only sigh that Brother Li was worthy of being Brother Li.

When they arrived at the place, Mei Youshu introduced himself as the person who would look after Dabai for the next few days, but was questioned by everyone including Director Sun.

"Teacher Li is not here... Will Dabai listen to you? It can fly."

The tree is a bit numb.

He couldn't just say that Dabai could listen to anyone, because Dabai could understand everything anyway.

So he could only say with a confident attitude: "Don't worry."

Director Sun plans to shoot the opening scene where the film meets the bird in the cage today.

The beginning scene from pushing the door open to discovering the bird only tests actor Xia Tian's acting skills. Bai Gaoxing only needs to squat in the cage obediently, and then wait for someone to come up to him and look back to show up.

It's quite simple.

But the director thought it was not that simple - he was thinking about how to call Dabai back at the right time.

"Actually... just call him." Mei Youshu couldn't stand the people present making suggestions one after another, so he said directly.

All was silent.

Then this task was given to Mei Youshu.

Mei Youshu: “??? No, I what…”

Director Sun stared: "What's wrong?"

He is afraid of birds!

But when people go out, they have to give face to others themselves. Mei Youshu swallowed his saliva and broke his physiological limit, "No problem."

Seeing Mei Youshu's expression as if he had stepped on a landmine, Bai Gaoxing laughed out loud, jumping around and shouting happily in the eyes of others.

Huang Shaqing also added: "Assistant Mei, Dabai likes you so much!"

"Huh!?" Mei Youshu was alert, "You can't say that. Dabai likes Brother Li the most."

"……?"

Everyone present was puzzled. Is this still necessary to push it back?

It seems that Teacher Li really loves Dabai.

…

With the experience of bird photography last time, Director Sun was more relaxed this time. With Bai Gaoxing's amazing performance, Director Sun's expected shooting time was reduced from three months to one month.

When I hear the other person sighing——

Bai Gaoxing: Wake up, I only took a week off.

Knowing that Director Sun's film this time would focus on details, Bai Gaoxing, who had two full acting experiences, tried his best to make it perfect: he listened to Director Sun's lectures, counted the beats when others spoke, and used his understanding of advanced mathematics to figure out how to act in the play and explore the effect the director wanted.

Finally, the opening scene officially started shooting.

Director Sun sat in front of the monitor, holding his breath, his brows furrowed.

Slow and cautious footsteps echoed on the dusty floor, making the surroundings even quieter. The protagonist pushed the door open and the dry and hoarse sound was like a crack breaking through people's ears.

The young man's rapid breathing became clearer in the quiet space, and the silhouette of the bird in the cage gradually appeared in the camera.

The camera started to move in, and the photographer was extremely nervous, holding his arms very steady, for fear that Dabai would suddenly turn around out of curiosity, which would ruin this segment.

But no.

To everyone's surprise, the snow-white parrot did not turn around when it shouldn't have, and it didn't even move.

The camera moves in close to the cage. At this point, it should be cut, and then the next scene should be shot where the parrot turns its head.

——Yes, in order to prevent the parrot from turning its head at inappropriate times, Director Sun originally planned to splice the two shots together. This is the most time-saving and safest way.

But now, he suddenly changed his mind.

"Go on." He waved his hand.

The photographer looked a little surprised, but he still kept the camera steady as the director instructed and waited for the next scene.

Everyone stared at the cage nervously.

Except for the trees.

In another camera shot, the young man was slowly approaching the bird cage. After a few seconds, he stopped in front of the cage door with a look of curiosity mixed with a hint of fear.

It's really scary to see a bird in a place like this.

At this time, Mei Youshu said: "piupiu turn around!"

As soon as the words fell, the snow-white parrot slowly turned its head. Although it had an innocent and adorable face, its dark eyes made people feel extremely eerie.

The card is so accurate!

Director Sun was surprised, and it was exactly the effect he wanted, slowly turning the head, highlighting the contrast between darkness and cuteness.

"Click! Very good." He called for a stop.

Next, tap the parrot to peck at the stand and send out Morse code.

As the tut-tut sound rang out, everyone present got goosebumps.

It turned out that the room was too cold and a cold wind was blowing.

"Director Sun." Huang Shaqing rubbed her arms, "Are you sure this is your friend's villa?"

The atmosphere was so suitable that people almost forgot that the scattered decorations in the villa were specially arranged by them, and they thought it was a haunted house from the beginning.

Then let the parrot imitate Huang Shaqing's crying.

The protagonist of "Birdsong" often has hallucinations. He entered the villa because he saw his dead girlfriend running into it. Unexpectedly, after entering, he did not see any human figures, but found several corpses instead.

The crying sound made by the parrot was very similar to her girlfriend's voice.

Huang Shaqing was ready. She asked, "How should I cry?"

Director Sun replied: "The more creepy, the better."

Huang Shaqing: "Ah? That's quite difficult."

Huang Shaqing was talking about how difficult it was for her to cry like a ghost, not that she doubted whether Dabai could learn it.

After all, she had heard how Dabai spoke her lines!

The beautiful woman cried bitterly. The parrot looked at her for a while, coughed, and began to sob too.

At first it didn't look very similar, but as I tried, the voice gradually became 90% similar to Huang Shaqing's.

This segment was also filmed smoothly, and the success of the filming surprised everyone.

Mei Youshu looked at the others who were marveling at him, and thought, as the only one in the group who knew the truth, he couldn't describe how this felt.

Time passes slowly.

After filming the parrot leaving clues and guiding the protagonist to find the truth, all the scenes involving the parrot were completed.

Only six days had passed.

"Dabai, see you next time!" Huang Shaqing carefully touched Bai Gaoxing's crest, which made Mei Youshu's eyelids twitch wildly, but he didn't know how to stop him.

"Good! Dabai is done!" Director Sun still gave a red envelope.

Dabai Shaqing posted a Weibo with a picture of Mei Youshu walking down the mountain with a bird bag in one hand and a small pet cake specially made by the director in the other. His back revealed a sense of sadness.

Fans online were extremely surprised by the news.

"Ahhh? Is it finished?"

"No, it's only been a few days. Don't they say that suspense films need to pay attention to details?"

"I hope Director Sun won't write Dabai to death again... [刀]"

Huang Shaqing posted on Weibo: Dabai is really done! The efficiency is too fast. If Dabai is a person, he must be a top-notch actor [cat head].

…

At this time, the "excellent actor" has returned home.

It was worth it that he asked for leave at the right time, and fortunately he finished the filming before the deadline... Bai Gaoxing, who had turned back into a human, breathed a sigh of relief and rummaged through his clothes in front of the closet while naked.

Just as he put on his coat, Bai Gaoxing heard the door closing in the living room, followed by familiar footsteps. His eyes lit up and he poked his head out of the closet door, "You're back?"

Li Pu looked closely and saw the young man's slender white legs exposed under the loose hem of his clothes. He was approaching without noticing anything. "Are you done?"

Li Pu calculated the time and realized that it had been several days since the last time, so he lowered his head and asked, "Have you taken a shower?"

Bai Gaoxing shook his head blankly, "I just came back, no."

Li Pho slowly unbuttoned his shirt one button at a time, then another.

Bai Gaoxing's eyes were almost glued to Li Pho. Because it was already autumn, Li Pho was wearing two layers of clothes, but the weather was not too hot, so he took off his coat at the door, leaving him in just a shirt.

Wow… wow wow, wow wow wow…

The next second, Li Pu raised his hand and rubbed the boy's head, then put his palm down to hold his waist, "Go take a shower."

"Hmm? Wait? What are you taking me for?"

Bai Gaoxing was carried all the way to the bathroom, his expression gradually becoming aware of what was going on. Before going in, he grabbed the bathroom door frame with his fingers, trying to escape, but was easily pulled down.

When I returned to school, I was a tired but satisfied parrot.

When I entered the dormitory, I didn't see the warm welcome I had imagined. Instead, I saw three roommates huddled together, seemingly watching something intently.

“It’s quite similar…”

"I already told you..."

"I'll come back and compare them later..."

Hearing the grumbling sounds, Bai Gaoxing put down his schoolbag and asked, "What are you talking about?" and took a sip of water.

The three of them turned around and looked at him.

Wang Xue held up her pad and said, "Look, this parrot looks a lot like you."

Bai Gaoxing looked closely and saw himself as a parrot on the huge screen.

"Puff!" A mouthful of water spurted out.

"Oh..." Wang Xue raised her eyebrows, "Don't be so surprised, don't you think so too?"

Because the parrot Dabai has been on the hot search several times in the past few days, there are many people who are good at surfing the Internet.

Pay attention to it.

Yang Juan touched his chin, his eyes sparkling. "I was amazed when I saw this parrot on the Internet. It looks so much like Abai. Could it be that you are transformed from it?!"

Bai Gaoxing was shocked.

"Well... they look quite similar." He tried to remain calm.

However, no one cared about what Yang Juan said, not even Yang Juan himself.

Yan Ming went to the table to get the meal card, "Hey, what are we having for dinner?"

Wang Xue turned the chair around - he had replaced it with a chair with wheels, "Have something to eat~"

Yang Juan: "You guys are so boring!" Then he turned around and said, "When you were working with Li Pu, did you ever see his bird?"

Bai Gaoxing was confused for a moment. What? Which bird?

But he soon figured it out, "Ah Dabai... I've never seen him before, and I don't go to his house."

There is no silver here! ! !

Fortunately, Yang Juan didn't think much about it and just nodded, "Let's go and have dinner."

Eat, eat, eat! Bai Gaoxing quickly followed and covered his frightened little mouth.

…

Time goes by especially fast in college. Before you know it, a stage has ended.

After taking the Level 4 exam in December and the final exam, Bai Gaoxing welcomed his first winter break in college.

During this New Year, he formally met Li Pho's parents.
