Chapter 56

The gentle yet majestic voice echoed throughout the palace, like a breeze blowing away the sound of a Buddhist bell, giving people a feeling of irresistible conviction and sympathy.

It sounds very nice, his words are as clear as pearls, and even his breathing and rhythm are extremely accurate. No one can deny this man's ability to recite lyrics.

Anyone who knows Director Sun knows that this director has high requirements for the basic skills of the actors. In addition, when auditioning actors, he strives to make them as close to the characters as possible in terms of appearance and voice. In the later TV series, the actors basically dubbed their own voices. Therefore, this line is so emotional and full of feelings that it can serve as an example!

But only Huang Sha, who was behind the pearl curtain in the hall, was trembling with fear, knowing clearly that there was someone else who uttered these words.

She looked out through the beaded curtain. She had already missed the best time to go out and could not keep up the pace no matter what.

What should I do… Should I leave now? Or should I ask the director to stop? Huang Shaqing, who had never been anxious about acting, was really sweating this time. It was her fault in the first place, and she still had to face Director Sun… It was over!

“Crack!”

Sure enough, as soon as this thought came to mind, Director Sun shouted from outside: "What's going on!?"

The director was furious.

Huang Shaqing immediately walked out dejectedly, "I'm sorry, Director Sun, I was distracted."

Director Sun, who had been staring at the monitor, became even angrier. "You can say the lines, but you won't walk!?" He pointed at the parrot on the cage and said, "Dabai had such a good chance to perform! And it's just wasted! If the effect is not so good in the future, you are simply setting a trap for the entire crew!"

Huang Shaqing wanted to cry but had no tears. Dabai's performance was so good, so good! It scared her to death!

"However." In view of the presence of small animals, Director Sun tried his best to calm down and praised her for her good performance. "You spoke the lines very loudly this time, and the sound recording effect was very good. Keep it up."

"Ah?" Huang Shaqing was stunned, and then asked with difficulty: "Director Sun, do you think...I said this line?"

"If it wasn't you who said it, then it was me!?" Director Sun almost laughed out of anger, "It wasn't your voice? Oh, it's just a little bit rough, you can't hear it if you don't listen carefully, do you have a cold?"

"Director Sun." Huang Shaqing swallowed her saliva, "I didn't say the lines, seriously."

"You didn't say that?" Director Sun frowned and repeated these words, "Then who could it be?"

"Yes...it's Dabai..." the actress who played the palace maid said in a low voice.

She was close, so she naturally heard clearly that the sound came from the parrot. To be honest, even if it wasn't because Huang Shaqing forgot to come out, it must have been because she forgot to leave.

"Yes, I heard it was Dabai too." Pei Jue echoed, fearing that the director would not believe him.

"What did you say?" Director Sun turned around and looked at the two of them. The doubt in his eyes could almost drown a mosquito.

Next to the camera, the person in charge of the panoramic view has already checked the footage just taken, "Director Sun, it is indeed what Dabai said." ●This●work●is●made●by

In the picture, after the maid spoke her words, the snow-white parrot opened its mouth, but after pausing for a moment after saying this sentence, it continued with the next sentence.

“…”

Director Sun looked up from the monitor.

After a long silence, he looked at Li Pu, who also had a surprised look on his face, and said something obscene: "...Teacher Li, did you know that your Da Bai is so awesome?"

At this moment, Bai Gaoxing was quietly pretending to be dead in the cage.

Especially when he heard the director's roar like artillery fire, his body trembled and his crested feathers stuck to the back of his head.

I said it in a rush, thinking I was helping out or something, without ever thinking about what would happen next.

It was understandable that he imitated the voice of a palace maid, after all, this was the line he had recited over and over again. In order to help him memorize it quickly, the instructor also showed him the previously filmed clips repeatedly.

But the Queen's speech -

He seemed to have heard it only once, during the trial shoot just now.

Even he met Pei Jue for the first time...

Oh no, it’s over!

Bai Gaoxing stared at the ground, trying to count how many bricks there were, wondering if he could get through, and then - cautiously tilted his head.

Saw Li Pho’s face.

Ahhhh, I'm scared to death!

Bai Gaoxing was so frightened that his foot slipped and he fell off the pole. The golden chain of the claws pulled and he was almost hung upside down.

Li Pu Rao, who originally just wanted to take a look, was startled. He reached out and lifted it up and held it in his arms.

“…”

Bai Gaoxing raised his paws to the sky, looked at Li Pu, then looked at himself, and closed his eyes.

“Well done.”

After a while, Bai Gaoxing heard the man praising him.

He couldn't help but secretly open his eyes a little, and what he saw was Li Pho's face with a helpless expression.

Then...it should be...ok?

With the help of Li Pho, he stood back on the pole and became the parrot that looked down upon the whole audience.

Li Pu stood still, thought for a moment, rummaged in his pocket, and took out a dried fruit given by the instructor.

It has to be said that Dabai's performance far exceeded his expectations and he even did better than during teaching.

At this time, you should give some rewards as encouragement - this is what the "Farming Manual" says.

In particular, he clearly noticed that after he finished his compliment, the parrot's fluffy crest slowly stood up, as if it was very happy.

Li Pho touched the parrot's head.

Not long after, Director Sun, who had once again criticized the actors for their distracted behavior, came to Bai Gaoxing and smiled gently: "Dabai, let's do it again later. This time, don't steal the lines."

Bai Gaoxing moved his feather crown to avoid Director Sun's gaze, buried his head in his food, and pretended that he understood nothing.

The more Director Sun looked at the big white parrot, the more he liked it. He thought it was amazing enough that it could imitate the voice of a palace maid, but who would have thought that it could learn a new line on the spot!

Smart...

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed through his mind. Director Sun caught it in time and said to everyone with a smile: "Get ready, I

Let’s do it again.”

Soon, Li Pho left the stage and Bai Gaoxing stood on the pole as if nothing had happened.

The actors and staff took their positions, ready to start again.

But this time, the atmosphere on the field changed completely.

The director held his breath in front of the monitor, fearing that he would never get such a good effect again; the staff couldn't help but look at the bird stand; the actors in this scene were extremely nervous.

Bai Gaoxing had no idea how much pressure he had put on the entire audience. He just concentrated on waiting for his part and didn't dare to do anything out of line again.

The previous scene was acted out smoothly again. When it was his turn to speak, Bai Gaoxing once again imitated the voice of the palace actress, but after he figured it out for a while, he reduced the similarity from eight points to seven points, and it was no longer as smooth as last time.

He thought about it carefully and realized that if he tried to match the human voice completely, it would sound fake. He would then clarify and demonstrate the whole process... It would be troublesome and tiring.

If the director is not satisfied, he can come back to him. Bai Gaoxing said that he can meet any of his needs.

"Let me see who is so ignorant as to break into my Changning Palace at will!?" This time, Huang Shaqing also said her lines smoothly.

The noble queen walked out of the palace slowly. Her conspiracy was exposed, but her expression was still cool and composed. However, if you looked closely, you could see the deep panic hidden in her eyes.

His next excitement was not in vain, as he stood in the best viewing position acting as a background and mascot, admiring the actors' rivalry up close. He wished he could fill his jade food box with melon seeds - but unfortunately he couldn't, he couldn't even eat more rice to keep his bottom plate as clean as possible... well, probably for photogenic beauty.

"Okay! Click!"

As soon as the command was given, one could hear the sound of long sighs of relief in Changning Palace.

Only Director Sun was still squatting in front of the monitor, his brows were furrowed so tightly that it was impossible to tell his emotion.

"Director Sun." Huang Shaqing and Pei Jue both came forward. They had seen this expression on the director's face too many times. They were all in a dilemma about the filming just now - if they were satisfied, everyone would be happy; if they were dissatisfied, they would start over again.

The two looked at each other, wondering what had gone wrong.

Director Sun hissed, changed his posture, and focused all his attention on the lines the parrot had just spoken.

In terms of fluency, it is not as fluent as the first version, and it is not even as similar to the first version... But looking back and thinking about it carefully, it is indeed more real than the first version, and it is easier to immerse yourself in it.

When Director Sun was extremely confused, he turned around and saw Li Pu standing in front of the parrot and saying something. He quickly shouted, "Teacher Li! Please bring Da Bai over here!"

So Bai Gaoxing officially met with the director.

Looking at the man in front of him, Bai Gaoxing stared at him, unable to help but guess what he wanted to say.

"Can Dabai...say the lines again?" Director Sun said expectantly after considering for a long time.

So he repeated the script in front of a group of people. Bai Gaoxing felt that the other party had some issues with the previous version, so he changed it to a voice that sounded more like a palace maid's.

"Ah... this is wrong." Director Sun clapped his hands, as if he had released the anger that had been pent up in his heart for a long time, and he became energetic. "Okay! It's okay, Dabai passed!"

One by one... one by one...

The director's voice echoed in Bai Gaoxing's mind. Along with the exclamations of the people around him, he couldn't help but straighten his chest and laugh secretly.

Ha! I'm awesome!

After completing the task, Li Pho took him out of Changning Palace. Bai Gaoxing looked back and saw that the staff in the palace were still busy and the director continued to talk to the actors.

That's the end.

Bai Gaoxing actually felt a little disappointed. The most important part of his scene was completed, and after that he would have to reshoot the shots and other shorter shots. He would never have the opportunity to show his talent like this again.

Looking at the magnificent and ancient palace from afar, Bai Gaoxing sighed.

Inside the hall, Director Sun, who had been having an exciting discussion with the screenwriter over the amazing performance of the animal actors, called over Huang Shaqing.

“Be prepared.”

"I plan to add back the scenes that had to be deleted previously due to objective reasons."

…

Because today's filming went extremely smoothly, Bai Gaoxing finally didn't have to stay in the bird house anymore and went with Li Pu to the hotel where he was staying.

Mei Youshu helped carry Bai Gaoxing's "luggage". While they were in the elevator, he heard Li Pu say, "Dabai... seems to be very good at imitating other people's voices?"

Mei Youshu, who was deeply affected by this, was stunned and immediately remembered the fear of being dominated by Dabai's imitation of Li Pu's voice.

With a "ding" sound, the elevator arrived.

Bai Gaoxing shrank inside the bird bag.

"Yes." Mei Youshu nodded, and after handing the room key back to Li Pu, he said, "When you were not at home, I heard it imitate your voice. It was very similar."

Li Pu also nodded. A long time ago, he had also heard Da Bai imitate the voices of TV hosts and agents.

But would it be too amazing... Li Pu searched his limited knowledge of parrots but had no clue at all.

After agreeing with his assistant on a time to pick up the parrot tomorrow, Li Pu picked up the bird bag, closed the door, unzipped it first, and then took out the daily necessities of the parrot that he was carrying one by one.

It is a five-star hotel indeed, the bed looks as soft as cotton!

Bai Gaoxing jumped out of the bag, threw himself onto the bed, and rolled several times on the wrinkle-free quilt.

Then, his body felt hot and he was picked up by Li Piao.

"You are here."

Tengkong changed his direction and made him stand on the bird stand on the table.

Bai Gaoxing pecked Li Pu's finger to show his anger.

…

As night fell and after eating and drinking, Bai Gaoxing began to admire the night view after a long absence.

Their hotel room was on the 12th floor. Looking down from the height, they could see the ancient city where their crew was located in the distance. The lanterns arranged by the crew were connected in a line, and the warm lights also reflected the warm colors on the stone walls. Even further away, they could see the festive red lanterns arranged by other crews.

Bai Gaoxing watched quietly and felt that his mood this time was completely different from that time at home.

As for why...of course it's not just him this time!

Having seen enough, Bai Gaoxing turned around happily and saw Li Pu sitting at the table using his laptop with a thoughtful look on his face.

What are you looking at?

This was not the first time that Bai Gaoxing saw how hard Li Pu worked. He could not help but admire him for reading the script even for just one night. He poked his head forward and saw a few big words written on each of the search engine's tabs:

Can parrots imitate other people's voices?

How quickly can a parrot learn to speak?

Is it normal for a parrot to learn a sentence in one day?

Bai Gaoxing: “…”

Are you finally going to suspect that he is a monster?

Bai Gaoxing retreated cautiously. Li Pu noticed his movements and waved to him, "Dabai, come here."

Bai Gaoxing walked over hesitantly.

Another snack was passed into his paw. It turned out that he was not going to catch him for research... He breathed a sigh of relief, and then saw Li Pu click on one of the pages.

"Yes, my parrot can learn a sentence in a day or two."

"It's not that difficult. I can make that sound in ten minutes."

"Anyway, my one is so smart that he can communicate in half a day."

Oh, these are all pretenders!

Bai Gaoxing glanced at Li Pu, nodded at the screen, and thanked his relatives for bragging on the Internet.

Until bedtime.

Li Pu was leaning against the head of the bed with his pillow, this time he was really reading the script. Bai Gaoxing was standing on the shelf, drowsy, and then he was dazzled by the sudden lighting of the screen of his mobile phone.

He yawned, flew to the bedside table, tugged at Li Pu's clothes, and motioned him to check his phone. What if the crew had an emergency?

Li Pho closed the script, picked up his phone, and his expression changed from surprise to contemplation.

Green light shone on Li Pu's face. His fingers kept sliding on the screen. It was obvious that the other party had sent a lot of words. Bai Gaoxing was so curious that he went over and stretched his neck: "What is this?"

Li Pu turned his head slightly, bent his fingers, and flicked his lips lightly: "Flying Page."

"It's yours."
