Chapter 68

When the premiere ended, topics related to "The Long Ballad" had already occupied the top of Weibo's hot searches.

The effect is better than expected.

The actors happily took out their phones and saw that the number one trending search was followed by a “bang”.

Let them see who takes first place... Hmm——! ? ?

1.#《Long Song Jue》Dabai【Explosion】#

Those few bright words stunned everyone.

"It's actually... Dabai...?" Someone uttered a few words with difficulty.

It's hard to believe that a group of movie kings, TV queens and popular young actresses have never beaten a parrot.

"Teacher Li--" someone raised his cell phone and called. The parrot was not there, so the owner of the parrot could be called.

"Hey, where are the people?"

Looking at the whole scene, the man who was sitting here just now has disappeared.

At this moment, Li Pho was already in the car heading home.

"I didn't expect that..." Lei Li sighed, tapping quickly on her phone and switching numbers skillfully.

Even she didn't expect this situation.

I knew that a play by Director Sun would make several people famous, but I never thought that the first one would be Dabai.

Lei Li raised her head and looked at Li Pu's expression for a long while.

Li Pu leaned on his arm and looked out the window at the busy traffic. The warm street lights on the street came into view one after another. Although it was a little blurry in the night, it could be seen that the pair of eyes that were once heavy now had a cheerful smile.

It should be fine now.

Inexplicably, Lei Li felt that her mood had become extremely relaxed.

If possible, she really hoped that they could be together forever.

…

At home, the parrot, who was the first person on the hot search list, was browsing the hot searches with great interest.

Whether it is the comment section under the hot search or the comment section on Li Pu's Weibo, it is now like a beehive that has been ignited, with everyone speculating whether the parrot that appears at the end of the film is him.

It's me, family!

The comment section is now divided into two groups, one group says yes, the other group says no, but both groups insist on evidence, throwing speculation and arguments in each other's faces.

Just talk to me about what's going on. Stop making noise!

Bai Gaoxing paced back and forth anxiously.

The battle ended only after Director Sun posted a photo and showed himself on the scene.

This is a "final photo".

To be precise, it was his final photo.

The photo was taken after he received his lunch box. At that time, a lot of people thought he was going to leave the crew after filming, so they suggested taking a photo with him. As a result, a lot of people wanted to take a photo, so it became a group photo.

Apart from the power-on ceremony, this photo is probably the one with the most complete personnel.

In the photo, he was standing next to Li Pho, looking at the camera with his head tilted, looking silly.

However... I didn't notice it at that time, but now I suddenly realized that Li Pho was actually laughing.

Bai Gaoxing moved closer to the computer screen and carefully observed the corners of his mouth that were raised by 0.1 mm to make sure he was not seeing things.

"Pedal, edal, edal."

Footsteps! Someone is coming back!

Bai Gaoxing was startled and hurriedly turned off his computer. He then rushed out the moment the other person opened the door, trying to hide his sight.

"Hey, this is to welcome you."

A familiar yet somewhat unfamiliar face after a long time. It was Li Pho's agent.

Bai Gaoxing looked up and saw the woman standing at the door.

No wonder Li Pu's footsteps sounded so chaotic that I almost didn't recognize him. It turns out there are two people. ♂

"Brother Li, these are the snacks that Dabai bought when he went to the company before. I brought them here." Outside the door, Mei Youshu poked his head out with two big bags in his hands.

Ah, three people!

The agent and assistant are here, what are they doing here? Bai Gaoxing tilted his head in confusion.

Sure enough, the next second, Lei Li said something very informative: "Don't forget the variety show afterwards, there are still two weeks left."

So fast!

Bai Gaoxing looked at Li Pu, and thinking of what Lei Li had said in the company before, he was a little worried that Li Pu would disagree.

Fortunately, Li Pho replied: "Yes, I know."

He watched Li Pho squat down and fiddled with his feather crest dishonestly with his fingers.

"Oh, so cute." Lei Li watched the scene and said with envy, "If I didn't have so little time, I would also like to raise one."

She turned around and waved, "Xiao Mei, let's go."

Mei Youshu hurried after her, and as soon as the door closed, Lei Li suddenly stopped and slapped her forehead.

"Oops, I forgot to tell him that the video was great and I should shoot more recently."

Mei Youshu also stopped, turned around and raised his hand to knock on the door, "Shall I go talk to Brother Li again?"

"Forget it." Lei Li also felt lazy and went straight to the elevator. "He has been sending out a lot of messages recently anyway..."

Inside the house, a man and a bird stared at each other.

"Dabai." Li Pu was the first to speak. He went to the door and turned off the light. "It's time to go to bed."

I know you don't want to say anything serious...

Bai Gaoxing lost his temper, but then he mustered up his courage and said, "Okay!"

Anyway, tomorrow morning is still his time to act.

Bai Gaoxing lay on the bed, looking at Li Pu's profile. He forgot when he won the right to lie on the bed, and the man no longer drove him away.

——Maybe it was just because he didn’t do anything random.

As he watched, Bai Gaoxing felt a little sleepy. His eyelids became heavier and heavier. Just when he was about to fall asleep, he seemed to hear someone say "good night".

…

Fans online were shocked to confirm that the parrot in the drama was Dabai.

"So it was really Teacher Li who brought Dabai to the crew!?"

"I told you before, but you didn't believe me!"

"That kind of gossip... Damn! Who would have thought of bringing a parrot to the crew? Is he so clingy?"

"It's not a question of whether it sticks to people or not. Baymax obviously starred in it! Otherwise, why would it be in the ending theme song!?!"

"Can anyone who has read the original novel tell me what role Dabai played?"

"Let me look for it... here [picture]."

A kind-hearted person summarized the parrot's role, which was basically that it spoke, directly confirming the queen's conspiracy and indirectly helping the heroine.

Talk? Everyone was looking forward to it.

Their level of speaking to Dabai in the short video is obvious to all.

Not long after, netizens and fans saw the episode in which the parrot made its first appearance.

This is a scene where the Queen is playing with the parrot and listening to the servants’ report. The snow-white parrot looks particularly noble and lovely on the golden cage.

On this clear and peaceful night, Bai Gaoxing, who was watching TV, also saw this scene.

Li Pu was also watching, but he kept his eye on Dabai beside him. He saw that Dabai began to stare blankly as he watched, as if he was shocked to see a parrot that looked exactly like him on TV. He immediately found it funny.

"That one above is you." The man pointed at the parrot in the picture and rubbed its furry head.

"Ga!" Bai Gaoxing pecked Li Pu's dishonest finger. He recognized him!

As the plot develops, the popularity of "The Long Ballad" continues to rise, and it is on track to become the most watched drama.

Bai Gaoxing is also aware of the huge popularity of "The Long Ballad" - every time he posts a video in the morning, he will see countless topics surrounding the drama on Weibo, and the number of people who like and comment on his videos is increasing.

This is not the highlight of the whole show yet. Bai Gaoxing is a little nervous. What will the audience's reaction be when they see the rest of the show?

Before he could guess any more, "The Long Song" soon aired the episode about the parrot imitating human speech.

That night, the already good ratings were two points higher than usual!

On TV, the parrot repeated the maid's words word for word. Its slightly hoarse voice, which was 70% similar to that of the maid, coupled with the slightly cold interior of the palace, actually created a kind of eerie feeling.

After watching this episode, the audience sparked a heated discussion online.

"Damn, I got goosebumps when I heard Dabai talking!"

"When I read the original novel, I thought Yuan Changge would lose again and it would take a long time for the queen to fall, but I didn't expect this trick to happen."

"Discussing the plot: The heroine here has an aura! Fortunately, in ancient times, everyone was very superstitious. If it were now, wouldn't people think that this was deliberately taught?"

"Someone has to teach! The heroine had no time to come to Changning Palace before, and she didn't have many capable people under her command. The time, place and people are all right, and the evidence points directly to the empress."

"If nothing else, this place is giving me chills. I really can't discuss matters next to a parrot!"

"The maid's frightened expression made me laugh to death. It was so real, it didn't look like she was acting at all."

But along with it came doubts mixed in with the surprises.

"No way? No one would believe it, right? This is obviously dubbing."

"The crew of "The Long Song" is really good at making up stories. It's okay to use post-production to synthesize such a long dialogue, but the director still claims that it's 'real'. Isn't that funny?"

"I heard that the crew had Dabai shoot over and over again for the best effect, and the bird got sick from all the tiredness!"

As soon as these words were spoken, those who were originally on the sidelines were immediately pulled into the team.

When small animals are harmed for their own benefit, it always attracts a lot of attention. The rhythm was set off, and the whole screen was filled with #长歌決作劇組, apology! #

The morning after the new episode was aired, Bai Gaoxing saw this topic as soon as he opened the webpage, and his heart trembled.

Then I felt a little absent-minded the whole day.

Li Pu noticed that something was wrong with his parrot. He held it in his lap and stroked it gently several times. "What's wrong?"

You don't understand.

Bai Gaoxing gave Li Pu a sad look. What worries could a man like you, who is obedient and doesn't care about anything else, have?

Unlike Li Pu's silence when he unplugged the network cable, his agent Lei Li called him that day.

"Please don't respond to what's going on online. The crew has anticipated this situation and is already prepared. Just be patient."

What kind of prophet is this?

Bai Gaoxing heard the words on the phone and looked at Li Pu curiously.

How will the crew refute the rumor?

"Okay, I got it." Li Pu touched the soft and warm parrot in his hand, and after hanging up the phone, he checked Weibo. His relaxed brows gradually wrinkled. He tapped on the screen a few times, but then he remembered what the agent said and stopped.

About a day later, all those who had been criticizing the crew online disappeared completely.

Not only no, but also trembling with fear.

The reason is the three latest videos released on the official Weibo account of the crew.

As we all know, every drama will release behind-the-scenes footage to attract viewers when it is broadcast, and "The Long Song" is no exception. Every time an episode starts, there will be corresponding interesting clips released, which will lead to various jokes and gags.

In the past, the behind-the-scenes footage was released by the official Weibo account, but today, Director Sun was also included.

"I personally watched this scene, how could I not know whether it was real or not!?"

This sentence was very popular, and then the official blog reposted a clip that was not used in the main drama.

Video 1, front camera, the parrot spoke the lines in a voice very similar to that of the maiden, and the intonation was also extremely fluent. After a few seconds, Director Sun said "Cut!"

Video 2, the picture quality shows that it was shot with a cell phone, the camera is a bit shaky, and the position shows that it was taken from the hands of the staff at the time. From Huang Shaqing walking out with a guilty look on her face and saying "Sorry, director, I was distracted" to Director Sun spitting out curse words in shock (censored here), everything was captured.

Video 3, during a break on the set, with warm light all around, Huang Shaqing and Li Pu are sitting on either side of a low table, each with a small pile of melon seeds in front of them, peeling them and happily feeding them to Dabai.

But it's not over yet. After reposting the video from the crew's official blog, Director Sun also posted a set of GIFs, all of which were actors or staff talking to Dabai during the filming breaks. The pictures were also accompanied by sound, and every word the parrot said was very clear. "Hello" and "thank you" were considered child's play, but the long sentences were jaw-dropping.

Mei Youshu, who had been paying attention to the official updates, was shocked: Where did the director get so many stocks?

When he felt it was almost time to bring this farce to a close, Director Sun published a short article describing how he had gone through every possible means to find suitable animal actors.

"…We originally used the Wanshan Bird Park's big head, and we had already filmed more than half of it, but it was no longer suitable, so we found Dabai."

"Baymax's intelligence and ability really exceeded my expectations. I thought it would take a long time for it to catch up with the crew's rhythm, but it surprised me right from the start. Our trainers have witnessed this."

As if to echo Director Sun's words, within half an hour, not only Huang Shaqing and other actors who had scenes with the parrot, but also the trainer Xiao Yi responded on Weibo. Xiao Yi also brought two other colleagues and posted a photo of them taking with Big Head on the set.

Now, the truth is completely revealed.

Wanshan Bird Park's Big Head is a famous parrot that learns to talk quickly. Wanshan Bird Park is a green park in the city that specializes in raising ornamental birds. If the crew treated them poorly, Wanshan Bird Park would not have let them go so easily.

As a result, Dabai became even more popular.

The popularity of "Baymax Parrot" has skyrocketed, directly surpassing those well-known popular actors.

Who doesn’t like a smart, cute parrot that can chat and act!

"It's over, I have a dangerous idea..."

"Who wants to team up with me to steal Baymax?"

"I! Form a group!"

"I strongly request that Teacher Li post more daily news! I want to raise Dabai in the cloud!"

Here, Li Pho was also informed that the storm had subsided.

The man thought about it and decided to post a status himself.

"Dabai." he called.

Bai Gaoxing, who had been feeling depressed these past two days but knew nothing about the current situation, was lying on the sofa. He turned around and saw Li Pu holding up his cell phone and white-baiting him.

"What are you doing~" Bai Gaoxing drawled out, too lazy to even look up.

Then he saw Li Pho take out a handful of dried fruits.

Well...he would never give in to snacks.

It rolled to Li Pu's legs and said, "Thank you~"

This video was posted by Li Pu on his personal Weibo, with the text: Thank you everyone for your concern, Dabai is very cute.

cute!?

This man actually used the word cute!

Fans were so excited that their eyes almost popped out of their heads. This was the first time that Li Pho posted an update while on vacation, so they had to take a screenshot as a souvenir!

Then he cried and said he also wanted to have a big white cat.

"My previous suspicions have all been proven wrong. Looking at the way they interact, I know that Mr. Li is a bird-raising man."

"Look at how familiar Dabai is with this sofa. He even knows to kick it in the middle, otherwise he would get stuck in the seams."

"No, why is Dabai so well behaved? There's not even a trace of shit on this sofa!!!"

"This is a level 6!"

Amid the enthusiastic response from netizens, the actors and actresses of the production crew also happily liked the comments. However, their agent felt that something was wrong.

The person who became famous this time thanks to Director Sun’s drama… doesn’t seem to be a human???

…

Another morning, Bai Gaoxing went online as usual, and was dumbfounded when he opened Weibo.

The production crew and Director Sun both posted on Weibo that "a lawyer's letter has been sent to the rumormonger". What is going on?

He carefully read Director Sun's Weibo, which said that the impact of such rumors was very bad, and gave him a stern warning and said that he would take legal action to protect his own reputation and that of the crew.

What happens when you are not online?

Bai Gaoxing blinked and quickly sent a short video.

After his long-term efforts, the Spark platform currently has sixty-six works.

Sixty-six!

Everything goes smoothly and good luck!

The company would probably be so pleased that they would shed tears when seeing this?

Bai Gaoxing was delighted, but quickly calmed down.

low key.

She skillfully turned off the phone before Li Pho opened the door, then rushed into his arms.

At this time, the plot of "The Long Song" has advanced to the middle stage, and the origin of Ning Chen and the parrot is told in an interlude.

Therefore, along with the release of the new episode, there are also behind-the-scenes footage.

As for the behind-the-scenes footage, the audience expressed their delight and only wished for more. Whether it was a mistake on the set or an oolong shot, it made people unable to help but join in the comedy, especially for a serious film like "The Long Song", which was so contrasting that it made people temporarily forget the heaviness of the plot.

The behind-the-scenes footage is out.

The audience went to see it immediately.

In the distance, a purple figure was walking back and forth with a bird in his arms. Although his figure was tall and straight, and his posture was graceful, the way he carried the bird cage was comparable to that of a man walking his bird in the park.

"Dabai is treated so well, and there are even birds to walk around with!"

"I think this little brother is very handsome~ Zoom in a little bit and take a closer look at his face."

Compared to passers-by who were looking at the parrot, Li Pho's fans had narrowed their eyes.

Wait, why does this figure look so familiar...?

When that person came closer, his handsome face was magnified, and countless fans had only one word in their minds:

grass!
