Chapter 17
At this moment, Bai Gaoxing was very confused.
He felt that this man's mind was harder to guess than the bottom of the sea. One second he took him out to play, gave him a bath, and acted like "I will treat you well from now on";
For a second I considered giving him away.
So what are you thinking? Tell me and see if I can help you solve it.
Bai Gaoxing boasts that he has been very virtuous during his time as a parrot owner. He avoids all the drawbacks of raising parrots: he does not speak loudly to avoid noise; he picks up the feathers that fall off and throws them in the trash can; he only urinates and defecates at designated places. It can be said that there is no parrot more perfect than him.
He wanted to grab Li Pu's collar and shake him back and forth to wake him up.
However, Li Pho was obviously immersed in his own thoughts.
Seeing that his eyes were blank, Bai Gaoxing felt more and more that he was about to do this. He became a little anxious, and the feather crest on his head drooped down unconsciously. He walked from one end of the tea table to the other with his chest puffed out, and walked back and forth two or three times. Finally, he poked Li Pu's palm with his mouth.
Li Pu felt the itchiness in his palm, but he did not get out of his mind. He was wondering, if he really sent Dabai away, would it be a good thing or a second injury?
A childhood friend sent him a video. In the video, Dabai looked listless, his feathers were dull, and there was a particularly noticeable bald spot on his chest. It was completely different from his current energetic and full appearance.
After finally raising a great white parrot, do you want to let it experience separation again? It is said that this kind of large parrot is very smart and knows what "separation" and "abandonment" mean.
Li Pu finally paid his attention to the parrot at hand, but as soon as he opened his palm, the huge parrot curled itself up into his palm, looking very hard working.
He subconsciously clasped his hands together gently, and then felt Duangduang's excellent touch, with a hint of warmth.
I guess he gained weight after coming back.
Bai Gaoxing was in Li Pu's hands. He tried hard to straighten himself up and throw away his unnecessary sense of shame.
He raised his head and widened his dark round eyes, trying to make Li Phou feel his presence.
Look! Labor is so cute!
Li Pu couldn't help but smile when he saw the parrot's cute look, and his dark eyes were immediately filled with warmth.
It seems that what they say online about pets being able to sense their owners' thoughts is true... or is he just being too obvious?
"Okay, I won't send you away." After comforting it like this, Li Pu patted the parrot's face, watched it raise its head comfortably, and decided to put his previous idea aside.
Who would have thought that as soon as he finished speaking, Dabai opened his eyes and looked at him, his eyes full of suspicion.
Do you understand this?
Li Pu found it funny in his heart, and his understanding of the intelligence of the cockatoo deepened. If he continued like this, he might not be surprised if Dabai could talk to him fluently one day.
As the night deepened, Li Pho began to work.
The time to join the group is getting closer and closer, and I have to memorize the lines in advance.
He prefers paper versions to electronic scripts. It is inconvenient to hold a computer in bed, and it is not easy to annotate based on his own understanding.
Li Pu opened a thick stack of scripts as usual, and then he felt a tingling sensation in his chest. Dabai had sneaked onto the bed at some point, as if he wanted to squeeze over and read with him. He had his head pressed against the pages of the book, looking very focused.
"Do you understand?"
A voice with a hint of laughter was heard, and Bai Gaoxing glanced at the script. He could understand the various names and brackets.
I just didn't expect this costume drama to be so progressive. Both humans and birds have lines.
A closer look reveals that this is a scene where a concubine in the harem frames the queen, but the plan is exposed by the mimicking bird kept by the concubine, and a bloody storm in the harem begins.
In this paragraph, this bird has quite a lot of lines.
Bai Gaoxing gave Li Pu a complicated look. Of course he understood, but you'd better take some heart pills.
"Director Sun has very high requirements for filming and doesn't like special effects or stand-ins. If he were to act out this scene, he might really look for a talking bird." Li Pu said as he kneaded the fluff on Bai Gaoxing's head.
A similar thing happened before. In order to get a three-second shot, the director specially found a professional dog trainer to train a Border Collie that fits the image, was very smart but very disobedient. It almost drove the director crazy, and the scene was postponed for three weeks.
He didn't know why he said this to Dabai, even though Dabai couldn't possibly understand. Maybe this is what they said on the Internet: wanting to share with pets?
"Come find me~ Come play with me!" Bai Gaoxing was a little excited after hearing what Li Pu said. Speaking lines was nothing, it was no problem at all for him to learn B-Box!
Li Pu rubbed the unique gray feathers on the parrot's head again, thinking he had guessed its thoughts, and coldly rejected it: "You can't always want to go out and play."
But he couldn't help but think about it.
If it's clear, maybe we can really speed up the filming of this scene.
When you think about how I can usually get Dabai to learn a sentence by just saying it three or five times, it’s hard to imagine how smart Dabai is.
but……
It was already scary enough that Dabai sneaked out last time. If he was really brought to the set and scared away again... Whether it was intentional or unintentional, the set was really chaotic during filming and it was not certain that a bird could be taken care of throughout the whole process.
He is worried about people he doesn't know well, but he is also worried about people he knows well...
Thinking about how his assistant was terrified of Dabai, Li Phou just felt a bit of a headache.
He knew he would be rejected.
Bai Gaoxing rolled over in Li Pu's arms, lying on his back, giving up and paralyzing himself.
Li Pu probably memorized the lines silently.
He looked up at the man. From his downcast eyes and calm expression, he could tell that he was reading the script seriously, but he was not making a sound.
Bai Gaoxing looked at the clock on the wall, watching the second hand go round and round. After just a few circles, Li Pu turned a page.
He didn't even have time to yawn.
Memorize so fast! ?
Bai Gaoxing's passion for memorizing was activated, and he immediately turned over and read the script seriously. In junior high and high school, he was famous throughout the grade for his fast memorization. When he was in college, in the first English class, the teacher used the trick of "whoever memorizes the text first can leave" to shock the students and test their abilities. He also left the class early for a period and a half under the shocked eyes of his classmates.
Although the price is that the teacher will keep an eye on you, the difficulty of skipping classes increases by 300 percentage points.
Okay - and then - I memorized it.
Bai Gaoxing easily memorized the part of the dialogue that belonged to the parrot, and then went on to look at the others.
There are some difficult and profound parts, but basically it is quite simple and colloquial.
He completely relaxed in the soft quilt, staring at the light on the ceiling, and after mumbling for a while, he suddenly said, "I won't send you away."
Anyway, these are the original words said by Li Piao.
Li Pu was startled and indeed shifted his attention away from the script.
After pondering for a few seconds, he also thought of the origin of this sentence. He was surprised that he remembered this sentence, but he agreed with a smile: "I won't send you away."
"No... send him away, no. " Bai Gaoxing gritted his teeth and artificially removed the two words in the middle. In fact, it would be best if he could sign an agreement, the kind that requires fingerprints.
Li Pu did not respond this time, and turned his head to read the script again, but his hands were still caressing him. The gentle force and dry heat made Bai Gaoxing drowsy, and he barely raised his spirits and rubbed his body, ready to curl up and sleep.
However, just before he was about to fall asleep, he felt something suddenly light beneath his body, and then his claws touched something cold. He grabbed it subconsciously, and when he opened his eyes again, he saw Li Pho's departing figure.
Bai Gaoxing stared at the rack under his feet and flapped his wings twice in annoyance.
