The daily life of the crew of "Beasts".

Chapter 22 Preparations Before Filming

"Bai Jie, wake up, we're here." Tian Lu shook Bai Jie in his arms.

"Huh? Ah! Are we there yet?" Bai Jie rubbed his eyes, got up, and looked around.

The number of animals on the bus had decreased significantly, and the remaining animals were gradually getting off. Looking out the window, one could see that the crew members had begun preparing various filming equipment.

"Bai Jie, get off the bus." Tian Lu called out to Bai Jie, who had just woken up and was still a little dazed.

"Oh, oh! Here we come." Bai Jie jumped off his seat and got off the bus with Tian Lu.

After getting off the bus, the morning sun shone directly on Bai Jie, making him unconsciously squint.

Two seconds later, as his eyes gradually adjusted to the light, Bai Jie opened them again. What greeted his eyes was the bustling and busy crew of actors.

"Hmm... what should I do?" Bai Jie looked around blankly. Although his company had produced many good dramas, this was indeed the first time he had personally participated in the filming.

"Pippi, Pipi! Come here for a second..." Puss in Boots' voice suddenly came from beside him, and Bai Jie turned his head to look in the direction from which the voice came.

"This morning is all your acting. Come here and I'll tell you how to act," Puss in Boots continued, waving his paws and shouting.

"The director's here." Tianlu replied and ran over, with Baijie following behind. He wanted to see what it was like for the director to explain the scene.

Approaching Puss in Boots, Tianlu sat up straight and said, "Alright, Director, let's begin."

Shocking moment JPG: Tianlu actually got serious, what a world wonder!

In reality, Tianlu was thinking: My younger brother is here, so I have to do my best.

"Oh, Bai Jie is here too." Puss in Boots saw Bai Jie who had followed her and hesitated for a moment. "Hmm... Bai Jie, do you have any suggestions for the script we wrote?" Puss in Boots asked.

"Huh?" Bai Jie was stunned, not expecting Puss in Boots to ask him this kind of question right away. "No, there's no problem, it's fine, it's just... how are you planning to film the scene where Tianlu is being chased by the helicopter?"

Bai Jie awkwardly changed the subject; he really didn't want to continue talking about his professional field. As someone who became famous for plagiarism, he couldn't bear the respectful gazes of these industry bigwigs—it was too embarrassing.

"That's easy, just prepare a helicopter model."

"A helicopter model!" Bai Jie's eyes lit up: I don't think I've ever played with one before.

"Want to play?" Puss in Boots noticed Bai Jie's change in expression. "You can play if you want. If you do well, you'll be the one to operate and assist in the filming in a bit." Puss in Boots waved his claw and immediately assigned Bai Jie a task.

Why is Puss in Boots so nice to Bai Jie?

Well... because Baidu promised to invest in the production team at the party that day, and quite a lot of it, so now in Puss in Boots' eyes Baidu is their sugar daddy. Since he's their sugar daddy, of course they have to treat him like royalty and make him happy.

Getting back to the point, Bai Jie was quite excited after hearing that he could operate the model to participate in the filming. "Then I'll go give it a try. Oh right, where is the props department?"

"Over there," Puss in Boots pointed in a direction.

"I'll go first then, see you later, Tianlu." With that, Baijie dashed off and disappeared in a flash.

As soon as Bai Jie left, Tian Lu's perfectly upright posture instantly crumbled. "Ah~ Director, can we start talking now?"

"Um..." Puss in Boots looked at Tianlu, who had suddenly become more active, and fell into deep thought: Should I not have let Baijie leave?

Following Puss in Boots' directions, Bai Jie quickly found the props team's location.

Upon arriving here, the first thing I saw at Baijie's door was a bunch of weapons: giant capture nets, dog nets, trap cages, animal snares, and even a harpoon gun. (Seriously, aren't harpoon guns considered prohibited items?)

Looking at this huge pile of animal-catching tools, his sweaty head bulging, thought: "These things aren't for Tianlu to use during filming, are they? Are we going to use the real stuff?! I hope the beast is alright."

After silently mourning for Tianlu for two seconds, Baijie continued searching for his target. During the search, Baijie discovered that there were still some normal items among the pile of props, such as fishing rods and medicine jars.

After looking at it more closely, Bai Jie found the helicopter model and curiously examined it.

"How do I use this thing? Is there an instruction manual? Um... where's the remote control?" Just as Bai Jie was muttering to himself as he studied it, suddenly, he was enveloped by a huge dark shadow.

"What is that?!" Bai Jie turned around instinctively and saw a strong figure.

"Hello, I'm the prop master from the film crew." The owner of the huge black shadow spoke in a deep and resonant voice. He was facing away from the sun, looking down at Bai Jie. His strong body firmly blocked the sunlight, leaving Bai Jie in his shadow.

Looking up, Bai Jie instinctively squinted in the direct sunlight. In his eyes, the prop master's face was hidden in shadow due to the angle, and his burly body made him look extremely imposing.

The prop master seemed to realize that Bai Jie couldn't see clearly from his standing position, so he took two steps back.

Only then did Bai Jie see the prop master's true appearance: a gorilla.

"Um...you, hello, my name is Bai Jie." Staring blankly at the prop master, Bai Jie seriously doubted: Are you sure you're a prop master and not a fitness instructor with those muscles?!

Completely unaware of Bai Jie's inner turmoil, a prop master spoke up, "The director messaged me saying you can play with the model, but don't break it."

“Okay,” Bai Jie readily agreed.

"Hey, here's the remote control and instruction manual." The prop master rummaged through a box containing a helicopter model and pulled out two items, handing them to Bai Jie.

Bai Jie: No! Where did you find these? I haven't seen these two things before!

After receiving the two items, Bai Jie put the remote control aside and started flipping through the instruction manual. He had never played with model toys before, but he had played with flight simulators, so he didn't know if the operation method was the same.

After studying the instruction manual, Bai Jie turned on the switch, picked up the remote control, and began to try operating it. The rotor blades of the airplane model slowly began to rotate, and the airflow spread in all directions from it. Soon, it slowly took off.

"It's actually quite fun." Bai Jie curiously controlled the model airplane, making it fly around in the air. Well... it was flying a bit shaky and looked like it was about to fall down at any moment: after all, it was his first time playing, so it's normal for his skills to be a little bad.

Bai Jie thought it was normal, but the prop master didn't think so. He had already stood next to Bai Jie, ready to grab the remote control at any moment and make an emergency landing.

The prop master said: This thing is very expensive, okay!

After playing for a while, Bai Jie gradually became proficient in operating the controls, and the airplane model in the air became extremely stable.

Looking at the scene before him, the prop master stroked his chin: He's gotten the hang of it so quickly? At this rate, it seems he could actually participate in the filming!

Just as the prop master was hesitating whether to tell the director about it, he suddenly felt his trouser leg being tugged.

"Hey, big guy, look down."

Upon hearing the sound, the prop master looked down and saw two Totoro figures. "Oh, it's you, Gold Horn and Silver Horn."

Bai Jie's ears twitched and he turned around. "Huh, what are you doing here?"

“We’re going to take a look at the replica of the Bagua Furnace,” Jinjiao replied.

"Oh, is that so?"

"What are you playing?" someone suddenly asked, glancing curiously at the remote control in Bai Jie's hand.

"Hehe, this is a prop for filming later. The director said if I play it well, I'll be the one to help with the filming later." Bai Jie waved the remote control in his hand under the prop master's trembling gaze.

Props maker: The model is still in the air, don't mess with it!

"I see." Silver Horn nodded, indicating that he understood.

"Ahem. Let's hurry up and go check on the props for the Eight Trigrams Furnace." The prop master coughed twice and said, deciding to leave this place immediately to avoid keeping his mind on edge.

The scene then shifts to Rabbit God and the Four-Faced Beast, where our two award-winning actors are seen rehearsing the script.

"What a lousy place! I'm leaving! I'm not going anywhere! I'm going to live in seclusion in the mountains! Rabbit Lord, don't stop me!!" The Four-Unlikes shouted, making a move to rush forward, but he was tightly hugged by Rabbit Lord behind him. "Four-Unlikes, don't be impulsive! If Panjiayuan is demolished, you can come and stay at my house! You're welcome anytime!!"

After he finished speaking, the two beasts paused for a moment, and then they separated.

"As expected of Tony, his acting skills are truly superb," ​​the four-legged creature exclaimed, tidying its slightly messy fur.

"Ahem, you're not bad either." Rabbit touched his heart, which was beating a little fast. To be honest, if it weren't for his strong self-control as an actor, he would have already lost his composure when he was holding the four-legged creature.

"Teacher Tony, let's discuss how to act out the next scene."

"Well, okay."

The two award-winning actors were practicing their acting skills, while two other actors were watching from a distance.

Looking at the two award-winning actors getting along so well, Xiaohang sighed, "They're such a perfect match!"

“Yes!” Next to Xiaohang, a white Samoyed was sitting. He was the script supervisor on the set, and his name was Samoyed.

"Xiaohang, do you think there's a chance between them?" Samo asked, gnawing on a bone that had already been eaten.

"I don't know, but I'd love to see them together."

Bai Jie, who was playing with models in the props group, gave a thumbs up: "Honestly, I'd like to see it too."
