As an actor's family, visiting the set should be a familiar daily activity.

But in the past, Li Pu's schedule either overlapped with his semester, or the other party would take time off to go home on weekends and he didn't have to rush over, so he had no chance to visit her.

And today, he finally had the opportunity to visit the set!

After getting off the car, Bai Gaoxing carried the afternoon tea he brought for Li Pu, while Mei Youshu asked the staff to move the snacks and drinks for others, and pointed him in the direction: "Go forward, turn left when you see a screen, and you will arrive after passing through a garden."

After typing "I'm here!" on his mobile phone and sending it to Li Pu, Bai Gaoxing officially started walking briskly inside.

At the same time, the actors who happened to be on break gathered together to chat.

Everyone had already heard that Bai Gaoxing was coming to visit the set, and although they had seen the rumored best actor in various trending searches and promotions, this was the first time they had seen him in person.

"I only met Brother Li's assistant before, but this time I can finally meet his family."

"Wow, I finally get to see Xiao Bai in person. I've long wanted to see who can take down Teacher Li!"

"Alas, it's not enough to post dog food on Weibo every day, you have to come to our site to post it. No, I have to call my husband too."

"Can you guys please care about our Peony's feelings?"

"What do you mean by visiting the class? I think Xiaobai is missing Teacher Li!"

Everyone looked at Li Pho jokingly, but he put down his phone and said, "I'll go pick him up."

Wow, it’s such a blessing to have your lover come to visit you on set.

The actors looked at Li Pho's back with envy, and suddenly everything else seemed less appealing to them.

Soon, they saw Li Pho walking in with someone.

I couldn't see her face clearly, but I could see that her hair was pure white, which was particularly eye-catching in the gloomy room, as if she had walked in after drinking in the full sunlight outside.

When the other person approaches, that face that can be described as beautiful officially comes into their sight, the smile is bright and brilliant, and the greeting is also genuinely warm, which is particularly likable.

Such a young man who looks so youthful, following next to Li Pho who is dressed in a black robe, does not lose his color, but instead makes him look even brighter.

No wonder!

The actors were instantly captivated by the real person. Who wouldn’t want to take such a cute little white kid home?

Bai Gaoxing had just distributed afternoon tea to everyone, and Mei Youshu came in to distribute tea to the staff. Taking advantage of the lively atmosphere, Li Pu took the opportunity to take Bai Gaoxing out of the house and prepare to walk around.

Li Pho is still filming a costume drama this time.

He is a prince who was not favored by his father in the early stage, but turned things around in the later stage with his own abilities.

But unlike the palace fighting drama "The Long Ballad", the "The Great Qi Dynasty" he filmed this time is a serious drama about the history of the dynasty. The actors in the crew are all professionally trained with solid skills and qualifications. The crew also invested a lot of money and strived to achieve perfection in costume design and scene restoration.

This is also the reason why Li Pho's clothes have a special texture.

Bai Gaoxing carefully stroked the sleeves of the suit, deeply moved by the crew's dedication.

The sunlight shone down along the eaves, forming visible spots of light that shone on Bai Gaoxing and Li Pu, making the people in the house feel like they were glowing.

Especially the look of the white-haired young man gently stroking his sleeve made them feel as if he was not a visitor but a part of the play.

"I feel like the scenery here is more spectacular than that of The Long Song."

Bai Gaoxing said this while thinking about just strolling around the set.

Following Li Pho walking on the road of the studio, the classical palaces, exquisite stone bridges, quiet paths, and temporary buildings, every detail has a magnificent ancient charm, which is enough to show that "The Great Qi Dynasty" is a serious film.

"Director Wu has high requirements in this regard." Li Pu explained the characteristics of the crew to his lover, but as they walked, they stopped.

To be precise, it was Bai Gaoxing who stopped on his own initiative.

"What's going on over there?" Bai Gaoxing showed an indescribable expression, "I seemed to...hear some incredible noise?"

"Over there?" Li Pu listened carefully, and heard only bursts of birds chirping. He replied, "It should be the bird house built by the crew. This scene has been used recently."

The bird house, as the name suggests, is a place in the palace specifically for raising birds.

In this scene, the emperor, for the sake of his favorite concubine, sent someone to train hundreds of birds to sing, just to make the beauty smile.

A hundred larks with shiny feathers and lively voices singing together are actually quite impressive. Now that these special performers have been gathered, all that remains is to train them to sing in unison.

It is said that this seemingly huge project was actually not difficult, because more than seventy of the larks were borrowed from the crew next door and were considered "experienced actors". The remaining twenty or so were supplemented from various homes or markets and could follow the tunes after some guidance.

"But there seems to be no progress here recently..." Li Pu said, and suddenly realized a problem and looked at Bai Gaoxing, "What did you hear?"

He remembered that his partner could actually understand bird language.

Bai Gaoxing: “That’s it…”

"Oh, I'm so annoyed~"

"What is this~~"

"Would you like some water?"

"Oh my, I'm so beautiful~"

"Hehe, hehehe."

"The sun is shining in the sky."

"Oh my god, is this ever going to end?"

"I'm so hungry~~~I'm so hungry~~~"

After passing through the archway and stepping into the bird house, Bai Gaoxing paused and covered his ears with an expressionless face.

So noisy.

This reminded him of the time he went to the Golden Beach Resort, but the sound of the seagulls was at least far away, and the sea level helped to disperse it; this time there were really a hundred birds, chattering in front of him.

Well, no wonder the overbearing princes in novels always fall in love with the heroines who can’t hear their heart sounds, because they are pure!

Bai Gaoxing turned to look at Li Pu, fortunately Li Pu was very clean!

Li Pu was startled by the emotion in Bai Gaoxing's eyes. He then thought that what others might think was a pleasant sound of birdsong was noisy to him, so he pulled him to a place farther away from the bird cage and said, "If it's too noisy, we won't go over there."

Bai Gaoxing's attention was attracted by the few people squatting under the cage.

"Doctor Zhang, can you please tell me what's going on with these birds?"

"To be honest, Director Wu, I can't find any problem. The water and food are fine. It's impossible to get heatstroke in this weather. It's strange... Xiao Wang, did you find anything?"

"Teacher Zhang, I don't see any problem either..."

The director, the crew veterinarian, and the veterinarian's assistant sat in a circle, all with distressed expressions on their faces.

"Director Wu." Li Pu came forward with Bai Gaoxing.

"Oh, Teacher Li." Director Wu saw Li Pu and smiled as he lifted his knees. "You're here." He also greeted Bai Gaoxing, then sighed, "It's still not working. I don't know what's going on. I guess this scene will be postponed again."

Doctor Zhang pondered, "Is it because it has not adapted to the sudden change of environment? Although it has been a week, this kind of bird is relatively timid..."

"These ones are probably sick. The others who didn't speak...may have other reasons."

The sudden sound attracted the attention of the three people present. They turned around and saw the handsome young man with white hair observing the cage.

What is more noticeable is that while the other party was speaking, he was covering his ears with one hand.

"He..." Director Wu was puzzled.

Li Pu couldn't help but twitch his lips to cover for his lover, "He knows more about birds, maybe he can help."

More than just understanding.

It's almost like asking the other party face to face why they are striking so passionately.

The background is that the one hundred larks used by the crew in filming suddenly started to make discordant calls a few days ago.

As he approached the cage, Bai Gaoxing could almost distinguish what each bird was saying. Amid the clamor of "Oh my god" and "How boring", he heard a few sentences very clearly:

"It hurts. My legs are numb."

"My stomach hurts a bit. I ate too much at noon."

"My head is dizzy and I want to sleep. It's so noisy."

But the most striking thing was the call of a lark with particularly beautiful feathers and a particularly loud voice:

"Brothers and sisters! Let's stop doing this! Why should we sing here after we finished singing there? If you don't sing and I don't sing, the crew will be idle tomorrow!"

Several larks around echoed: "That's right!"

A lark said weakly, "But the food they gave was very good, and they only sang for a short while..."

"Why are you turning your elbows outward? Shut up!"

“Oh…”

Bai Gaoxing was stunned.

You little larks’ little brains…are quite interesting.

While the director was talking to Li Pu, Dr. Zhang also walked over to the bird cage and carefully observed the birds that Bai Gaoxing pointed out were said to be sick. After a while, he showed an understanding expression and turned to the director, "Director Wu, it is what he said."

He looked at Bai Gaoxing with great enthusiasm, "Are you a veterinarian? You are very careful in your observation! I saw that these birds were in good condition before, but I didn't notice it."

It's really hard to find.

Bai Gaoxing thought that the initial abnormal behaviors of birds were very subtle and difficult to notice. Unless they were discovered midway or recovered on their own, by the time the condition became obvious, it had already reached a serious stage that was difficult to treat.

Moreover, medicines for birds are not perfect yet, and it is difficult to control the dosage for a single bird. By the time obvious symptoms are found in the chicks, most of them are already difficult to save.

Raising birds is something that requires patience and carefulness.

"Hahaha, I'm not studying veterinary medicine, I just know a little bit..." Bai Gaoxing laughed.

"So what are the 'other reasons' you mentioned?" Dr. Zhang asked.

"Yes..." Bai Gaoxing didn't know how to say that there was a traitor among the larks, so he pointed at the one that had rebelled the loudest and said, "I think it's a little excited. Can we remove it?"

"This one?" Director Wu was a little surprised. He knew that this was the lead singing bird next door.

"And this one, this one, and this one." Bai Gaoxing pointed out a few more dissenters in a serious manner.

Director Wu was even more surprised, because the ones Bai Gaoxing selected were the ones that usually chirped the loudest.

Could it be that it really works?

Thinking of this, Director Wu took down the bird cages, and Assistant Wang also swiftly took away the others.

With great efficiency, the director called over the specialist in charge of training the lark chorus and tried to lead them with a whistle.

Miraculously, the whistle, which had not worked before, unexpectedly worked this time. The larks chirped beautifully and melodiously, which was exactly what the director wanted.

"Hey, that's interesting." Director Wu hissed, "They should have barked like this before, but they just wouldn't cooperate."

Assistant Wang joked, "Could it be that these larks are making trouble in there?"

"Hahaha, you have such a rich imagination." Director Wu was amused by him and his mood obviously improved because the problem was solved.

That's what happened.

Bai Gaoxing thought silently.

Now that he had helped solve the problem, Bai Gaoxing prepared to leave with Li Pu. However, just as he was about to move, he saw the director walking towards him with a smile...

So, I became a temporary worker in the crew.

Bai Gaoxing sat on a stone bench nearby, staring into the eyes of the lark in the birdcage.

The director asked him to help look after Bai Ling's condition, and his attitude was very earnest, and he also said that he was willing to give him a generous reward...

So, he was just visiting the set, why was he working?

Bai Gaoxing poked the cage and whispered something, startling Bailing and causing Li Pu, who was sitting opposite, to look at him helplessly. On the side, the director and the training instructor were gesturing about what kind of effect they wanted, and they seemed to be talking about something very exciting.

Fortunately, he is on vacation now and has plenty of time, so it is no problem for him to stay on the crew for a few days.

It's actually pretty good.

The film set was still bustling at night. Eating the lunch boxes provided by the crew, Bai Gaoxing and Li Pu sat side by side under the warm light, chatting comfortably after a long absence.

The crew's accommodation conditions were very good, and the hotels were all decorated in an ancient style. Bai Gaoxing felt for a moment that it was like a vacation and he could earn some money by working part-time.

However, he underestimated how busy the crew would be.

As a historical dynasty drama, there are hundreds of characters alone, and of course there are more than a hundred birds.

Being led by Dr. Zhang, Bai Gaoxing was very busy even though he was just a temporary worker.

"Shocked."

"right."

"It's frozen."

"right."

"This is... a cold."

"No." Bai Gaoxing took a closer look, "It didn't eat properly yesterday."

Yes, under the guidance of Dr. Zhang, Bai Gaoxing started to check the physical health of various bird actors in the crew, helping Dr. Zhang to confirm situations that he was unsure about.

As the question was confirmed, Dr. Zhang's eyes became brighter and brighter, and he exclaimed: "It seems that you have a lot of experience in raising birds. Is your family from the quarantine station?"

No, he just heard these birds complain about their own discomfort.

There was nothing to do during the filming, so in his spare time, Bai Gaoxing would sit in a quiet corner and "chat" with the larks that had been evacuated.

"Why don't you cooperate?" Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one around, Bai Gaoxing quickly started a conversation with Lark.

As soon as these words were spoken, the larks all exploded into fur balls.

You can see that the larks are terrified, after all, they have never seen a person who can speak bird language.

"No, we are not..."

"Hey, why can you understand what we say?"

"Oh, don't eat me."

The larks, which were so arrogant before, suddenly became frightened and cried out that they just thought it was fun, because it was so interesting to see humans getting so anxious and unable to do anything about them!

You guys...

Bai Gaoxing rolled up his sleeves and said, "Thank goodness you are birds, otherwise you must experience what it means to be a 'desperate office animal'."

The sight of Bai Gaoxing sitting at the stone table and whispering seemed to others like he was teasing the little bird with great interest. Dr. Zhang, who saw this inadvertently, was moved again - Bai Gaoxing could be said to have saved the progress of the crew. If it weren't for him, the problem with the larks would still not have been found.

Dr. Zhang couldn't help but post on Weibo, sincerely thanking Bai Gaoxing for his "miraculous healing skills".

This caused a bit of a stir in the topic of "The Great Qi Dynasty", the fan circles of Li Pu and Xiao Bai, and the bird friends circle.

As an avian doctor with a good level of ability in treating and saving birds, Dr. Zhang provides free education on various diseases and treatments to bird lovers on Weibo, and also accepts submissions. He has quite a few fans.

Fans were amazed and thought that since they could hear him praising someone else, the person being mentioned must be very good!

So this person is——

The moment they saw that it was Bai Gaoxing, everyone who knew him was surprised.

Wait, why did Xiaobai go to the crew of "Daqi Dynasty"? Is he going to play a new role?

At the same time, Bai Gaoxing, who was asked a lot of questions by fans, also responded to everyone: I wanted to visit the set, but I didn’t expect to be asked to stay and work part-time [cat head].

My goodness, it turns out that Xiaobai can also treat birds! ?

With such doubts, someone actually sent a private message to Bai Gaoxing, wanting to try to see if he could fix the problem with his own chickens.

On Bai Gaoxing's side, however, he encountered a new task.

The reason was that the larks were very good at playing tricks. After the larks that had been beaten returned to the team, they saw that Bai Gaoxing was not there, and started making trouble again.

The director didn't believe it and shot several scenes in a row, but all of them failed.

Bai Gaoxing, who was having a cold drink next door, didn't know that he would officially join the crew in ten minutes.

Ten minutes later.

After putting on the costume and the mask, Bai Gaoxing became a member of the bird house.

Abbreviation: guest appearance.

Bai Gaoxing: “…”

It was really an unexpected surprise.

Facts have proved that the effect is very good. After Bai Gaoxing had some friendly communication with the larks, a group of birds all stood at attention and sang without trembling. It passed in one go!

Finally, after finishing this long journey with the crew, Bai Gaoxing returned home and started surfing the Internet.

As soon as he opened the backstage, he was overwhelmed by private messages and fell silent.

"Please put it in front of the camera... I'll emphasize again, this is just a communication between bird lovers. If your birds have problems, you must go to the local pet hospital for treatment! Oh, your parrot drank the hot pot soup yesterday and felt a little uncomfortable... huh? I didn't understand what it said, hahahaha you are really a joker, I saw that there was oil on its chest, Dabai also often drank it secretly, I have experience!"

"Don't put your little sun in an air-conditioned room. It's not that it's afraid of the cold, but it doesn't want to be too cold or too hot. The temperature difference is too big and it will catch a cold."

"Guinea fowl... they are so small. Why can't the eggs hatch? It's a female bird. Are you raising two female birds as a pair?"

During a break on the set, Li Pu watched the live broadcast that had just started on his Xinghuo account. His wife was talking to the bird friends who were connected in front of the camera. It seemed like they were communicating, but in fact she was showing them the birds.

“……”It seems that Dabai won’t feel bored at home anymore.

But, will it really not be considered... a special skill?

At this moment, Bai Gaoxing faced the camera, looking carefully at the listless little yellow chicken held in the hands of a new online audience member.

"Xiaobai, take a look at what happened to my Xuanfeng?"

Bai Gaoxing narrowed his eyes and struggled to hear the five words from Xuanfeng's mouth: "Sesame...seeds...are...really...delicious!"

"… You've eaten too much pockmarks, remember to keep the lid closed."

Hot topic of the day: #Do you think Xiaobai can understand bird language? How amazing! #

It was a long time before someone spotted Bai Gaoxing in the film's scenes when The Great Qi Dynasty was broadcast...

There is one chapter left to go! It should be about school and daily life.
