Chapter 63

Summer is at its hottest.

The temperature in Chuncheng this year is two or three degrees higher than usual. The temperature, which should be a suitable temperature, has become very warm, making work not so pleasant.

But for Bai Gaoxing, who had nothing to do, the weather was pretty good. It was more comfortable to take a walk outside than to stay in a birdhouse with a constant temperature.

"Dabai~Are you going out to play today?" Assistant Lin Shi pushed the door open on time.

Bai Gaoxing swallowed the last mouthful of millet and said, "Go~"

After the parrot's part was completed, the trainer and other parrots left, and the only bird house with a bird still in it was handed over to the assistant for management.

Specifically, Assistant Lin Shilin.

Bai Gaoxing spontaneously entered the canopy sunshade bird cage specially made for him, walked all the way to the set, and watched the actors filming.

"Hey, Teacher Bai is here again." A staff member saw them and handed Lin Shilun a stool with a smile, "Come on, Xiaolin, there's a seat reserved for you."

Over the past two months, Lin Shi had become very familiar with the crew. She thanked them with a smile and took the umbrella, sitting in the shade under the umbrella with a small fan blowing beside her.

Bai Gaoxing squinted his eyes comfortably and took a bite of the apple that Lin Shi fed him.

"Teacher Bai, we must have memorized all our lines today!"

Just then, an actor nearby saw him and happily ran over to talk to him.

Looking at the young actor in front of him in eunuch's uniform, Bai Gaoxing almost choked and pretended to be stupid and replied "Ga".

Then, another young actress in a concubine's costume said sincerely: "Teacher Bai, let me recite the lines for you later..."

Bai Gaoxing fell silent.

Regret, asking is regret.

Bai Gaoxing thought of the stupid thing he had done before - because he had seen too many lines about the harem when he accompanied Li Pu to read the script before, he memorized a lot of them. So when they happened to be filming this scene, the actor forgot the lines, and he who was watching on the set couldn't help but take over the lines.

At the time, I thought it was simple: we were all colleagues, and it was too bad that the boss (director) always yelled at me, so I just gave him a hint.

He completely forgot that he was a parrot and shouldn't talk like that.

And because of those two times, the crew really implemented the calling of "Teacher Bai" to the extreme. Those actors who always had trouble remembering their lines would come to pay their respects to him before each filming.

Maybe the fact that “even a parrot can remember the lines” put pressure on them, these actors later memorized the lines very well, so they became more convinced - thanks to Mr. Bai, you can remember the lines!

I have formed the habit of praying for smooth filming every time I see him.

Don’t be feudal and superstitious!

Bai Gaoxing numbly took the snacks stuffed into his mouth by the actor, watched him run away shouting "Teacher Bai, please help me pass this time, hahahaha", and took a big bite of the dried purple sweet potato in his paw.

Inside the venue, Li Phou, who had just finished filming a scene, took the tissue handed to him by the staff and wiped his sweat.

"It's really hot today." Director Sun fanned himself vigorously, sweat dripping down his forehead, "Let's finish shooting early and leave work early, so as not to get heatstroke."

Li Pu responded, took the drink handed to him by Mei Youshu, took a sip, and cast his gaze towards the crowd not far away.

Director Sun followed his line of sight and smiled, "Dabai, come and watch whenever you have a scene."

The snow-white parrot stood out in the shadows, as if it noticed that it was being watched, and it spread its wings and flapped them as if to say hello.

Mei Youshu smiled and said, "There's nothing I can do. Dabai just clings to Brother Li."

"Yeah." Director Sun sighed and looked at Li Pu again.

Ever since he heard from Assistant Mei in private that Dabai was a parrot specially raised by Li Pu to regulate his emotions, he felt that it was unreliable at first, but up to now, Li Pu's performance has been enough to convince him.

The last time he worked with Li Pho was less than two years ago, but during the filming of that drama, he could see with his own eyes that Li Pho was getting more and more immersed in the role, and in the later stages he seemed very depressed.

Therefore, this time, he paid close attention to Li Pho's condition from the beginning, but found that except for that one time when Li Pho was over-indulged, he gradually got better and was not as worrying as the last time.

Until now, Li Pho's state is still calm, and he no longer appears to be too immersed in the role. It is obvious that he can shoot the ending smoothly and easily.

Thinking of this, Director Sun was refreshed and in a very good mood. He waved his hand and said, "This one is passed! Continue!"

…

Another work day was over, and Bai Gaoxing followed Li Pu back to the hotel. The refreshing breeze blowing in his face made him sneeze.

Li Pu looked back and went forward to turn up the extremely low temperature of the air conditioner.

The recent hot weather has caused the crew members to be covered in sweat every time they finish work. People often catch a cold when they go home and get a cool breeze. The director reminds them to be careful every day.

Li Pho's performance today was outdoors, and he was wrapped up in a tight costume. Now that he was back, his shirt was soaked with sweat, and the outline of his muscles was revealed as he moved.

It looks hot.

Bai Gaoxing glanced at the wet hair on Li Pu's neck, then turned around and found that he had taken off his shirt.

Do not look at anything inappropriate!

Bai Gaoxing turned his head and smacked his lips in admiration at how well the celebrity managed her body.

Just when he thought Li Pu had gone in to take a shower, he turned around and saw a pair of hands reaching out and carrying him to the bathroom.

Wait! What!?

Bai Gaoxing was horrified to see Li Pu taking off his pants beside the bathtub filled with water and crawling towards the door.

But the door was locked.

"Help! Help!" he shouted while turning his head back.

Li Pho, who originally wanted to take the parrot for a bath, said: "..."

After thinking about it, I decided to give it a try. Dabai was so noisy that I couldn't control myself, so I decided to wait until he finished washing before washing it.

Amid the sound of water, Bai Gaoxing huddled pitifully in the corner, trying to erase the image from his mind.

He didn’t see the legs, he didn’t see the waist, and he didn’t see... ugh!

That night, Bai Gaoxing closed his eyes with a look of despair, and let Li Pu, who had just finished taking a shower with only a bath towel wrapped around his waist, rub bubbles for him.

…

Time passed very quickly, and on a morning in late August, the crew welcomed the last scene of the entire play.

The filming of a play is not based on the order of the script. The last scene does not show the heroine becoming the empress and reaching the pinnacle in the showdown between power and the harem, but Ning Shen's death.

This was specially arranged by the director in advance, for fear that it would be too heavy for Li Pho to shoot this scene midway, but now, his worries are unnecessary.

In the surveillance camera, the heroine and Ning Chen had a game-like conversation in the deserted pavilion, and then turned and left. Ning Chen looked steadily in the direction she left, suddenly smiled, and drank the cup of sake in front of him.

Soon, blood dripped from the corners of her pale lips, staining her snow-white collar blood red and her chest also blossomed with a color like flowers.

The man who was so terrifying in the court finally just looked at the horizon, with an incomprehensible emotion in his eyes. He didn't say a word and gave up his life.

For a long time, the scene remained quiet.

In the final scene, Pei Jue and Li Pu were both clearly immersed in their roles. Their eyes and lines were full of tension. The onlookers were nervous and could not help but have tears in their eyes after seeing Ning Chen finally come to an end.

"The Long Song Finale is finished!"

Finally, someone sighed in a low voice.

The complete end of a play makes people feel sad, not to mention that they have developed feelings for each other after so many days and nights of companionship. The atmosphere on the scene is relaxed and solemn, so complicated that it makes people speechless.

Director Sun's eyes also sparkled, and he heaved a long sigh, "It's over."

Then, he stood up and shouted through a megaphone, "Thank you for your hard work! There will be a wrap-up party at the hotel next door at 8pm, everyone come!"

Bai Gaoxing didn't listen carefully, but looked for Li Pu in the dense crowd. However, after the filming of a play was finished, everyone was very excited, and the whole set was in chaos. For a while, it was impossible to see where the man ran to.

Fortunately, Lin Shi found it quickly and walked over with the cage in hand, "Teacher Li!"

Li Pho nodded.

Bai Gaoxing looked up at Li Pu's expression, and was relieved to see that he was as calm as ever.

God knows how nervous he was when he first found out that the last scene was the one where he died!

While Bai Gaoxing was jumping on the pole, the cage was handed to Li Pu.

Mei Youshu came over and said, "Brother Li, I'll go back to the hotel to pack my things. My flight is tomorrow morning."

"good."

"Then I'll stay at the hotel to watch over Dabai for the final banquet tonight," Mei Youshu said, "You can go with Xiaolin."

"Hey? What are you doing in the hotel? Everyone, go!" Director Sun heard what they said and came over to say, "Including Dabai! He has to go too! Where's our hero~"
