Chapter 57

However, the next day, before he got the role he wanted to add, Bai Gaoxing got a contract first.

"This is another price." On the long table, Director Sun pushed the paper towards Li Pu solemnly, "Dabai's role is only more important, and the characterization can be regarded as sublimated. Before, because other parrots could not perform well, our scriptwriters had to delete this part with great pain, but now it is different. With Dabai, the brilliance of "The Long Song" will be taken to the next level!"

He coughed and said, "However, the extra role may be more difficult for a parrot. This is my sincere reward."

Bai Gaoxing looked down and saw it written in black and white on the paper, stating that in addition to the previous contract, he would get an additional salary increase of one, two, three, four... so many zeros!

Wow—hurry up and agree to him!

Bai Gaoxing looked towards Li Pu, with a ￥-shaped light flashing in his eyes.

Li Pu picked up the contract, glanced through it quickly, put it down gently, shook his head and said, "Sorry, Director Sun."

"These scenes are too much for Baymax, and I don't think it can meet your requirements well."

It can be said that it is extremely difficult. It will probably take a long time to teach it clearly.

Li Pho touched the parrot's head.

After receiving the director's message, he thought about it for a night and finally decided to reject it.

Anyway... fully participating in this shoot was a bit too much for a parrot.

Meanwhile, Director Sun was extremely anxious as he watched Li Pu's expression, which was neither distorted nor disturbed. He had not yet considered the possibility of being rejected. What could be the reason? It was definitely not a matter of money, but rather——

Director Sun frowned and pursed his lips. "Do you think I would treat a parrot as strictly as I treat other actors, and teach it constantly until it can perform perfectly? Otherwise, I would keep shooting until I get the version I am most satisfied with?"

Li Pho did not answer, but just looked at him quietly.

Director Sun felt like he was hit by an arrow in the knee.

That look seemed to say: What do you think?

"Of course not!" Director Sun stood up and tried to refute, "I will treat Dabai like my own - er, my own parrot. I won't let it be thirsty and hungry. I will stay on the set happily every day."

Even so, the answer I got was still: "Sorry."

The negotiation failed.

The opportunity was right in front of him but he couldn't grasp it. Director Sun sighed with extreme regret. He probably won't be able to sleep well for several nights.

But just as Li Phou got up and prepared to leave, the parrot gave him new hope.

The big white parrot did not fly to Li Phu's shoulder as usual, but slowly walked to the contract and sat down.

Bai Gaoxing squatted like a hen.

Sorry, he really thinks acting is so much fun QAQ Don’t deprive him of this fun!

Bai Gaoxing tried to express his expectation with his eyes, but Director Sun excitedly shouted, "Look! Dabai also said he wants to act!"

Really?

With a skeptical attitude, Li Pu reached out his hand and tried to pull the contract. Bai Gaoxing immediately fell to the ground and held on tightly without moving.

Li Piao: “…”

Bai Gaoxing: QAQ

"Okay." After a moment of silence, Li Pho compromised, "If it's really inappropriate during the filming process, I hope that all the scenes added to Da Bai will be deleted."

"Of course." Director Sun agreed readily. "The worst case scenario is to stick with the current version. I've also written this down! See."

Finally, Li Pho, the owner, signed his name, leaving a vermilion claw mark next to it.

The director walked away humming a song happily, leaving Li Pu standing there. He tapped Bai Gaoxing's head and said, "You can't eat snacks today."

Alas, taking revenge for personal gain!

…

Afterwards, Li Pho took him to the place where he could change clothes.

Looks like Li Po has a role today? Bai Gaoxing

I looked around excitedly, and then felt a little lost.

It seems that he won’t be able to witness Li Pho filming... What’s even more sad is that if he goes to film later, they will have to separate the venues and he won’t be able to see his acting grace!

Bai Gaoxing was waiting to start filming his new movie, but after meeting the director again a while later, he learned from him that Huang Shaqing had other schedules for the next three days.

"When I told Ms. Huang that we couldn't finish the work for now, her expression was...tsk tsk tsk tsk."

After talking about funny things, Director Sun talked about serious matters, "There is no need to talk about Dabai these two days."

He paused, "The trainer will continue to teach it the rest, and the specific reshoots will have to wait for Teacher Huang to come back. But these are relatively simple, some feeding and caressing movements, and the rest... I will discuss it with the scriptwriter."

This pause was meaningful, making Bai Gaoxing feel that he had a big move hidden behind.

Director Sun waved his hand and said, "Okay, hurry up and put on your makeup. I'll try to finish the part of your court appearance today."

Bai Gaoxing was still standing on the golden cage used for filming, and was temporarily placed on a small stool beside him by assistant Lin Shi. Li Pu went to change clothes and put on makeup with the special staff.

When Li Pu came out, he was dressed the same as when they first met.

Her long black hair was draped softly behind her, and her dark purple official uniform was embroidered with some elegant and beautiful patterns. Her tall figure and perfect body could easily make people feel nervous when she glanced at you from the side.

Bai Gaoxing thought it looked pretty good, and he looked down to see if the chain was long enough. The parrot flapped its wings and was about to fly towards him. The costume staff next to him saw the parrot's sharp claws and shouted in surprise, "Hey! Don't stand on this clothing! It will get scratched!"

Li Pu was stunned, but he subconsciously reached out to take it. Bai Gaoxing pulled the chain and circled it around the top of the cage a few times, and it finally landed on the small chair next to it.

"I was so scared." The costumer patted his chest, and when he came to his senses, he asked incredulously: "Can it really understand?"

Many people went to watch the play at Changning Palace yesterday to join in the fun.

One was to see what the role that Director Sun had been waiting for for a long time was, and the other was to see how smart the so-called "Most Popular Actor's Parrot" was.

The news from the venue spread quickly to the outside world, and they soon heard descriptions such as "Dabai can imitate Huang Jie's voice" and "Dabai understands what the director says". At that time, they just thought that the rumor was spread by word of mouth and became more and more exaggerated. Now it seems that it is indeed true! ?

All of a sudden, everyone from the crew came over and tried to see the legendary parrot.

Bai Gaoxing felt a little embarrassed by being stared at, and hesitated for a moment, then he started to show his social phobia: "Hello, everyone!"

"Oh——!" everyone exclaimed.

Soon, Bai Gaoxing was carried by his assistant Lin Shi to the shooting location of Li Pu.

The setting on the court side was more magnificent, with more characters and a larger scale of filming. Bai Gaoxing looked up and saw more than a dozen cameras set up in different positions outside the court, not to mention how many were set up inside.

He remembered that Director Sun said that Li Pho’s role was to debate with the officials. No wonder the man immersed himself in the script every day when he was at home. Perhaps most of the lines in this scene were his... ?

It’s a pity that I can’t see with my own eyes what Li Pho looks like when he acts.

There are no scenes involving small animals, and small animals are not allowed in. For the first time in a long time, Bai Gaoxing wanted to become a human again.

"Dabai, Teacher Li will be here soon." As if he could see his eagerness, Lin Shi lowered his head to comfort him, "Just wait a little longer!"

As a result, his wish really came true!

A group of mermaids wearing court robes of other colors came out, followed by Li Pho in purple. They did not disperse, but stayed in front of the stone steps and started to ridicule each other.

Facing the furious ministers, Le Pho, with a nonchalant smile on his face, seemed particularly at ease. His eyes were dark, yet with a hint of deep light, giving people the feeling that "he is definitely going to do something big."

“You, you, you——!” The oldest courtier, who was the leader among the officials, pointed at him tremblingly, his eyes full of hatred, “People like you! Sooner or later——!”

Before he finished speaking, he was already extremely angry, which was enough to guess how fierce the argument was in the palace.

Because they were far away, the sound was very small, but fortunately, from where they were standing, they could still hear some of it.

But the lines were immediately drowned out by the gasps and sighs behind him, followed by Lin Shih's exclamation: "It's over, Brother Li is so charming even when he plays the villain boss... I might have to stand on the villain's side then."

Villain Boss!

Oh my god, it turns out that Lai Pho plays the villain!

Stimulate!

Bai Gaoxing stared at the man on the steps, trying to find something scary about the villainous aura that permeated him. However, his every move and word was so eye-catching that it was impossible to dislike him.

Then he is a bad bird!

Let Bai Gaoxing put himself in their shoes and feel proud of it.

His eyes continued to follow the dark-blue figure, and he suddenly realized that Li Pu in the play felt completely different from usual, as if he had become a completely different person, without any trace of himself left.

Suddenly, guessing penetrated the hazy layer, and Bai Gaoxing suddenly understood why Li Pu always sat there quietly when he first got along with him.

No wonder it takes so long to rest...

Bai Gaoxing blinked in disapproval. Being too immersed in a role is really not a good thing.

A few hours later, today's court scene was finished.

Bai Gaoxing was looking for Li Pu in the messy crowd when he suddenly heard Lin Shi's voice: "Teacher Li!"

The purple figure appeared in front of him at some point.

"Yeah." Li Pu's voice was cold and he didn't sound happy.

Bai Gaoxing slowly raised his head and saw that there was still a trace of gloom in the man's eyes, and there seemed to be ice frozen in the corners of his eyebrows and eyes.

He handed the cage and the bird to the man. The man stared at him for a moment, closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, the coldness in his eyes eased.

Well... Li Pho is also very handsome like this!

Sticky.

…

In the next two days, Bai Gaoxing successfully made a living under the instructor and went through all the necessary movements in the instructor's surprised eyes.

I am too lazy to pack a big bag, so I only pack a small bag.

Especially after the other party called the other two trainers to visit.

Thanks to the rapid progress, he not only did not have to work overtime, but was also able to follow Lin Shi or the instructor around the crew in his free time.

I have become familiar with almost everyone in the crew, but occasionally I would see people I don't recognize appearing, and I heard that they were here to visit the set.

"Director Sun is very strict about the crew's work and basically does not allow the media or fan groups to come. At most, the actors' familiar friends are allowed."

Bai Gaoxing accidentally heard this sentence from other people's casual conversation. He was stunned and immediately thought of Li Pu.

As for him... he doesn't seem to have many friends?

Then I immediately think of the other person's worrying condition.

As the filming progressed, Li Pho's situation seemed to become increasingly depressed. Bai Gaoxing had read the script a few times, but they were all about some minor supporting roles, so it was not clear who Li Pho was playing.

However, he had heard Li Pho and the director talk about the play.

"Yes, this character is very difficult to play. It is very difficult to understand him in the original novel. He wants to turn the court upside down, and his attitude seems to have long been determined to die... Perhaps his failure in the end is not simply due to his inferior skills and arrogance, but also because he saw the brilliance of the heroine herself and found that his knot in his heart has been resolved and there is nothing he can't let go of."

That was Director Sun's description of the character, but Bai Gaoxing only felt danger.

Having the will to die or something like that... No, no, no! Absolutely not!

There was a click of the door and Li Pu came back.

The man walked to the sofa and sat down, crossing his hands against his forehead. He looked heavy and tired.

Bai Gaoxing stood on the ground and looked at him for a while, then pulled at his pants with his mouth, and seeing no response, he began to climb up with all his might.

Li Pu felt the movement on his leg and finally pulled away to take a look. Then he slowly stood up and took out the fruit plate that had been refrigerated in the refrigerator.

"Are you hungry?" A low voice sounded. Bai Gaoxing raised his head and saw that there was still a smile on Li Pu's face. It was a bit forced, but he still tried to show his good side to him.

How could he possibly eat that? He sighed, jumped onto the man's lap, and cuddled up to him like he always did at home.

The small warm ball was hard to ignore, like a fire, which suddenly brightened the originally dim room.

Li Pu was stunned for a moment, then picked up the big white parrot with both hands.

He pursed his lips and gently placed his forehead against it.

The soft and fluffy belly carries the fragrance of grains and fruits, and the high-frequency heartbeat is inexplicably filled with soothing meaning.

The body in his hands didn't struggle at all, as if it was deliberately trying to ease his emotions.

For a moment, Li Phou fully understood why many people keep pets to comfort themselves, and was glad that he accepted his friend's advice at that time.

Feeling the burning breath spraying on his body, Bai Gaoxing trembled slightly, and then proudly puffed out his belly.

Come! Suck!

Isn’t the purpose of raising pets to relieve stress? You’re welcome! ⑧

Time passed by minute by minute, and the bird house became extremely quiet. Although it was broad daylight outside, this place seemed like a secret and peaceful corner.

But soon, the silence was broken by the sound of approaching footsteps.

"Yo." After three knocks on the door, a golden head pushed the door open and then quickly retreated.

A few seconds later, the other party poked his head out again, and after seeing the scene inside the house clearly, he asked with a smile: "Did I disturb you?"
