The daily life of the crew of "Beasts".

The vehicle arrived at the entrance of Caiyun Village, where the old goat was already waiting. After exchanging a few pleasantries, the animals entered the village.

It was nearing lunchtime, and wisps of smoke began to rise from the chimneys of the village houses.

Looking down from above, there were no surprises on the village paths; they had all returned home.

"Hoo hoo hoo hoo."

A strong wind blew in their face. The cat-dragon lay on the back of the totoro, clutching a bag in its paws, both sides of which were filled with mushrooms they had picked up on the mountain.

"Hurry up, brother! If we don't go home soon, there won't be any food!"

His face was full of coquettishness.

"Mimi Mimi"

Totoro lowered its head and accelerated, the airflow generated by its high-speed flight making it less likely to get eye irritation.

At breakneck speed, their eyes quickly came to the Wamao compound, and the two brothers hurriedly landed and ran into the house.

"Mom, we're back. Is there any food at home?"

The two brothers, Totoro and Totoro, burst through the door, followed by Totoro meowing loudly. They rushed into the house, only to find Mrs. Totoro cleaning up the dishes.

"You're back late, the food's all gone."

Mrs. Wa Mao picked up the cleaned-up dishes and chopsticks, then turned and walked towards the kitchen.

Seeing this, Totoro's expression fell, and he pitifully huddled behind his mother.

"Mimi mimi mimi~"

"Mommy, we're hungry!"

"Who told you to be so playful and not come home earlier? Didn't you pick mushrooms? Go eat mushrooms, or go find some mud to eat in the mountains."

Mrs. Wa Mao remained unmoved. Her own child was no good at anything else, being brittle and clumsy, but very easy to raise; it could survive on some mud dug up from the mountains.

"But we still want to grow taller and become as strong as Dad so we can't eat mud anymore."

"Mimi mimi mimi".

The Totoro brothers persisted relentlessly.

When the Flower Bird first came to film the movie, it gave all the animal handlers on the crew a physical examination.

The advice given to them at the time was to eat less mud and more meat, otherwise they wouldn't grow up.

Therefore, after the two brothers returned home, they pestered Madam Wa Mao to do something other than mud every day, and they eventually succeeded. However, no food was left for them, and if they came back late, it would all be eaten.

Upon hearing Totoro mention his father, Mrs. Cat's face darkened, and she slammed the kitchen door shut, locking the two brothers out.

"You can find the right people yourselves!"

Why bring up that heartless dragon? If you weren't my sons, I would have scratched you to death!

Outside the kitchen door, the two brothers looked at each other, at a loss for what to do.

After a while,

Maolong suggested, "How about we go to the village chief's house for a free meal?"

"Meow?" Totoro tilted his head, as if asking the village chief, "Isn't it a sheep? Will there be meat at home?"

"some."

Maolong nodded in affirmation. He remembered that Yuetian often went to the old goat's house to freeload meals. As a wolf, he would often go there to prove that there was definitely meat.

As for why the old goat would deliberately prepare meat for the village's biggest troublemaker, Tou Yuetian, he had no idea.

Perhaps they developed feelings for each other through their battles of wits and courage.

Totoro set off and flew towards the old goat's house. Before long, they landed in the yard.

The big tree stood quietly on one side of the yard, and the ground looked clean and tidy, as if it had just been swept.

The two brothers waited under the tree, and soon, a commotion was heard outside the door.

"Have a meal at my house first, and then go filming."

The old goat pushed open his front door as he spoke.

The Golden-Winged Roc, who had been following behind with little interest and an attitude of wanting to finish taking pictures and leave as soon as possible, suddenly became interested when he saw the scene in the courtyard.

"Oh. You're not bad, you know I like to eat gentian and you even prepared two dragons."

The old goat was taken aback, thinking to himself, "I didn't prepare any gentian."

He looked into the yard and saw Totoro waving at him from under the tree.

"Hey, village chief, we..."

"Hey!"

"mum!"

Before Maolong could finish speaking, the Golden-Winged Roc spread its wings and instantly attacked them.

The claws grew larger and larger before their eyes, and the two brothers only had time to cry out in alarm before they were captured by the claws.

"Although they are only two mixed-blood dragons, they are enough to fill our stomachs."

As the Golden-Winged Roc spoke, it raised the paw that was gripping the Totoro.

"Spare the dragon beneath Apeng's claws!"

Puss in Boots, the most experienced in handling emergencies, was the first to react and shout.

The shout made the Golden-Winged Roc stagger and almost fall. He turned his head and glared fiercely at Puss in Boots, gritting his teeth as he spat out a sentence.

"Don't call me Apeng!"

Then, the other beasts came to their senses. The old goat, who was carrying a wine jug, quickly spoke up.

“They are children from the village, not for you to eat,”

The Golden-Winged Roc snorted coldly and threw the two brothers to the ground, its gaze still fixed on Puss in Boots with hostility, clearly still holding a grudge against the name "Ah-Peng".

But the next second.

Phoenix flashed forward and shoved his head down.

"I'm sorry, my child has a bad temper."

Phoenix apologized profusely to Totoro, while the Golden-Winged Roc, whose head was being pressed down by Phoenix, was exasperated.

Why is it so hard to show off? Dad, can't you even consider my feelings?!

The rescued cat dragon got up, still shaken.

"Mimi Mimi"

"Who are you! Why are you trying to eat me and my brother right away!"

The Golden-Winged Roc broke free from the Phoenix's wings that were pressing down on its head, and didn't even bother to talk to the two beasts, Totoro and Totoro, mainly because it felt too ashamed to speak.

He flapped his wings and flew into the air, leaving behind the words, "I'm going to the mountains to find some food," before flying away, his back view looking somewhat disheveled.

Puss in Boots watched the Golden-Winged Roc depart and wondered if he had been too harsh on the bird.

But considering this guy's troublesome personality, if we don't teach him a lesson, he'll cause trouble again during filming.

Puss in Boots stroked his chin and nodded.

Yes, that's right. I'm giving him a talking-to, helping him grow. What's wrong with me, as the director, calling him A Peng? Is there a problem?

After the Golden-Winged Roc left, the atmosphere became noticeably more harmonious. The Phoenix apologized again for the child who had broken his promise, while the Old Goat went to the kitchen and brought out the food that had been prepared in advance.

Meat was originally prepared for the Golden-Winged Roc, but unfortunately he left, so the Totoro brothers got the meal.

After finishing their meal, Totoro left satisfied, leaving behind the mushrooms they had picked as a thank you gift.

The Golden-Winged Roc returned just in time.

Caiyun Mountain Range

Not far from the Deer Man Shop,

The cheers were deafening, and countless birds on the seats waved glow sticks excitedly.

In the center of the venue, where the spotlights converged, Phoenix sang loudly, her voice resounding through the speakers and eliciting screams from all directions.

A camera recorded all of this from outside the venue, while Puss in Boots sat quietly in the back, eating snacks.

There was no other way; she didn't want to make such a big fuss, but it was just too easy to hire extras when filming scenes involving phoenixes.

Not only are they all playing themselves, but some are even willing to pay extra to come. With such great conditions, wouldn't it be a waste not to make a big splash?

Puss in Boots stroked his chin.

When did I start being so greedy for bargains? It seems like it started after I met the wealthy Bai Jie.

At this time,

A commotion arose in the audience. Puss in Boots looked up and saw the Golden-Winged Roc flapping its wings and flying into the arena, with a chorus of voices below cursing the freeloader.

After all, anyone would be annoyed if they bought a ticket to enter, only to have someone else swagger in without paying a penny.

It's like someone being cut in line or someone driving carefully being overtaken.

Although these were all acted out, it can only be said that the quality of this year's extras was really good.

At this moment, a classic scene of a hero rescuing his younger brother is unfolding on the filming location.

A bully barged into a concert, and the loser Bibi mustered up the courage to reason with him, only to be swatted away by a wing. Then, the phoenix made a dazzling appearance to support its fans.

"Pass!"

Puss in Boots' voice rang out from among the many speakers. There was no way she could hear it if she just shouted it out loud; even if she shouted herself hoarse, the actors in the theater probably wouldn't be able to hear her.

As soon as that sound fell...

Fans of Phoenix and Golden-Winged Roc seemed to have been unleashed, instantly surrounding their two idols with fervent enthusiasm.

"Phoenix, please sign your name for me!"

"Pengpeng, I want to take a picture with you!"

In the Deer Man shop,

Phoenix lay exhausted on the ground, surrounded by several penguins massaging his body.

The Golden-Winged Roc stood aside and said bluntly, "Father, you spoil those mortal birds too much."

Phoenix smiled helplessly and said, "It is indeed a bit of a stretch."

When the two birds were surrounded by fans, the Golden-Winged Roc simply left, while the Phoenix stayed to sign autographs and take photos with fans and is now quite exhausted.

Puss in Boots then pushed the door open and said, "Gentlemen, today's filming is finished. Tomorrow, Lord Phoenix will have to come again because your scenes haven't been filmed yet."

The Phoenix nodded and hummed in agreement, and the Golden-Winged Roc also nodded to indicate that it understood.

After saying this, Puss in Boots hurriedly left. He hadn't finished talking to half of the enthusiastic fans yet, so he quickly sent them all away so he could go home.

The next day,

The sun was shining brightly, and the pond was rippling in the wind. Fish swam around, and the fishhooks bobbing on the surface of the water caught their attention.

"Wow."

The fish that didn't believe the hook was hoisted into the air. Even while suspended in mid-air, it was still frantically flapping its tail.

Puss in Boots grabbed the struggling spirit fish, removed the hook from its mouth, and then threw it back with her claws. She then continued to sit leisurely in the backyard of the deer shop, fishing.

"When did you get so bold as to slack off so openly in front of me?"

Xiaohang appeared behind and asked quietly.

Puss in Boots paused with her paw holding the fishing rod, then picked up her water glass, took a sip, ignored Xiaohang's death stare behind her, and calmly spoke.

"No rush, no rush, let's wait until everyone is here before taking pictures."
