The daily life of the crew of "Beasts".
Chapter 45 Tianlu's Moment of Fatality
"Someone save me!" Bai Jie, looking helpless, was being brutally ravaged by a group of beasts. Their claws landed on his body, and he tried to resist, but to no avail.
Just when Bai Jie was almost in despair, a voice that sounded like heavenly music suddenly came to his ears, "Hey, what are you doing!"
A glimmer of hope shone in Bai Jie's lifeless eyes. "Director! Help me!"
Puss in Boots heard Bai Jie's cry for help and rushed to the herd to drive them away. "Quickly release Bai Jie! I never said he could be touched!"
"Director, let me touch it, I don't need my pay for today!" someone in the horde shouted, and the other beasts echoed his words.
Puss in Boots stopped in his tracks: "Ah, this..."
"Director, you can't just stand by and watch someone die!" Bai Jie panicked as he realized the situation was getting out of hand.
"Ahem, he's the beast of the crew after all, so go easy on him."
"Director, you've changed!" Bai Jie shouted in grief and indignation.
Puss in Boots pretended not to hear anything, whistled, and scurried away. As for Bai Jie's retaliatory withdrawal of investment afterward, she wasn't afraid of that. Given Bai Jie's personality, withdrawing investment was just something she said: "If it really comes to a bad end... I'll just apologize."
After Puss in Boots slipped away, Bai Jie's mournful cries rang out again, clearly indicating that the beasts hadn't heeded the advice to "go easy on them."
Finally, when Bai Jie had completely lost his mind and given up resisting, Yue Tian summoned Tian Lu Bi Xie to drive the beasts away.
"Bai Jie...are you...alright?" Tian Lu asked worriedly.
Bai Jie glanced at Tian Lu with a blank expression, seemingly still in a daze.
"Bai Jie, really... you can't even beat a bunch of ordinary monsters." Pi Xie said helplessly, picking up Bai Jie.
“Speaking of Bai Jie, I remember you don’t mind being touched, right?” Tian Lu poked Bai Jie with a suspicious look on his face.
"Ugh, I don't mind being touched, but I don't want to be violated!" Bai Jie covered her face in embarrassment. "And some of them are beasts... Aaaaaaah!"
Bai Jie suddenly burst into a wail, feeling extremely sad and distressed: Not long ago he was teasing Tianlu for being molested, and now it's his turn. I'm still a minor!
"Stop howling, Bai Jie, it's so noisy." Bi Xie complained, but his body language betrayed him as he hugged Bai Jie and comforted him.
After venting his emotions for a while, Bai Jie gradually calmed down. After calming down, the first thing that came to his mind was a certain cat that had left him to die.
"Tianlu, where's Puss in Boots?!" Baijie asked through gritted teeth. "Huh? I don't know," Tianlu replied after a moment of surprise.
"I know, I know. I saw the director when I went to find the boss just now," Yue Tian said eagerly, finally finding a chance to interject.
"Alright, lead the way."
"Uh..." Yue Tian suddenly realized that he might have said something wrong. He looked at Bai Jie's somewhat frightening expression and asked cautiously, "Um... why is the Third Master looking for the director?"
Bai Jie calmly uttered two words: "Settle accounts."
Yue Tian shrank back: "Is it too late for me to say that I actually don't know where the director is?"
"There's no time, lead the way quickly," Bai Jie replied without hesitation.
Yue Tian had a miserable look on her face: "I can't afford to offend them, what can I do? Lead the way, but I probably won't be able to come to the film set to play again."
Yue Tian led the three Pixiu around and quickly found Puss in Boots, where she was discussing something with Xiao Hang and Tu Tu.
"Puss in Boots!" Bai Jie didn't care what Puss in Boots was doing; he was there to settle accounts.
Upon hearing Bai Jie's voice, the three beasts, who were discussing matters, turned around.
When Puss in Boots saw Bai Jie storming towards him, a cold sweat broke out on his back: Damn it! He's been caught!
Puss in Boots' brain raced as he thought: What do I do now? I still need to ask for help later. If he gets angry and doesn't help, I'll be in trouble.
Thinking of this, Puss in Boots decided to do something. "I'm sorry!" she cried out sincerely, bowing deeply at a 90-degree angle.
"Hey!" Bai Jie was caught off guard by the apology and was completely stunned. All the words that were about to come out of his mouth were swallowed back.
“I shouldn’t have been blinded by money. I shouldn’t have stood by and watched you die. I should have kept a closer eye on those extras and prevented them from doing such outrageous things. I’ve been so negligent. I deeply regret it. I…”
"Alright, alright, stop talking, I don't blame you!" Bai Jie interrupted, his scalp tingling. He really couldn't stand this kind of scene; he felt inexplicably embarrassed.
"You really don't blame me?" Puss in Boots looked up when she heard this.
"I won't blame you anymore, okay? If you keep talking, I'll get goosebumps," Bai Jie said, embarrassed.
"Ahem, that's good." Puss in Boots coughed twice. To be honest, she was a little embarrassed, but this trick worked, didn't it?
"By the way, what were you guys talking about just now?" Bai Jie didn't want to dwell on what had happened before. After all that fuss, he was no longer angry, so why bother with it?
"This...we should discuss how to film the next scene," Puss in Boots said, glancing at Tianlu without making a sound.
“The next scene… oh right…” Bai Jie slapped his forehead, remembering the script. “Tianlu is going to go bald next, wait a minute, could it be…?”
Thinking of something, Bai Jie looked at Puss in shock.
Puss in Boots nodded, confirming Bai Jie's idea, "The later plot requires Pippi to shave her fur."
"What?!" Tianlu, who hadn't understood what Baijie and Puss in Boots were talking about, was completely stunned when he heard this.
"Why do I have to shave? I don't want to!" Tianlu resisted and backed away.
"Hey Pipi, calm down. It's just part of the plot. Just bear with it and it'll pass." Puss in Boots tried to persuade Tianlu while constantly giving Baijie winks, signaling him to come up and try to persuade Tianlu as well.
Bai Jie was speechless: So you apologized so readily just for this!
Even Bai Jie couldn't help Puss in Boots in the end, but Tianlu was still dealt with. As for the method... Puss in Boots reluctantly promised to treat everyone. (Those who know, know how much a Pixiu can eat.)
A while later, on the filming set…
"Director~ If you ever assign me this kind of work again, I'm not doing it!" TuTu stared at Puss in Boots with resentment in his eyes. The camera zoomed in, and TuTu's body was covered with scratches and bite marks. Hmm... it was already quite obvious who the culprit was.
"Ahem, isn't this your job anyway?" Puss in Boots said somewhat guiltily.
"No other makeup artist has ever been in such a dangerous situation as me! I was almost eaten!"
"Uh... it's okay if you get eaten, just have Bixie fish you out."
"That's not what I meant!" TuTu was exasperated.
"Ahem, alright, alright, we're about to start filming. You should go rest in the back." Puss in Boots was sweating: I can't keep up with that.
"Hmph! This has to be considered a work injury!" TuTu said angrily before turning to find the doctor on set. If her brain injury wasn't treated soon, she might get infected and be in big trouble.
Seeing that TuTu had left, Puss in Boots breathed a sigh of relief: being a director isn't easy either.
"director."
"Meow!" Puss in Boots was startled, but relaxed when she turned around and saw it was Hyakki. "Hyakki, what's wrong?"
"I want to ask, how are you going to film the scene where Tianlu gets his fur cut after it's all been shaved bald?" Baijie looked at Puss in Boots with a curious expression.
"It's in the script, they said to use hair growth tonic."
"Hair growth tonic?" Bai Jie was full of questions. "Is that stuff really that effective?"
"Of course, the Divine Brand Hair Growth Tonic is effective even for mythical beasts."
Bai Jie's lips twitched: "Director, tell me the truth, how much did they pay you to memorize the advertising slogans so well?"
"Ahem, don't worry about the details." Puss in Boots felt a little embarrassed: he just blurted it out without thinking.
"Director, the venue is ready!" a shout came from not far away.
Upon hearing this, Puss in Boots' eyes lit up. "Alright, Bai Jie, you can leave now. Filming is about to begin."
"Alright then." Bai Jie pouted and walked away.
Filming begins.
"3, 2, 1, Action!"
"All the feathers are gone! Look at this monstrous creature! All the feathers are gone!" Tianlu roared in grief and indignation.
"Pfft, hahahahahaha!" x2.
"Cut!" Puss in Boots called a halt to filming.
"Hey, you two are both award-winning actors, stop laughing!"
"I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry!" The Four-Faced Beast and the Rabbit Lord apologized repeatedly. They didn't really want to, but they couldn't help it. Tianlu's appearance was just too comical.
"Hmph! If you dare laugh again, I'll eat you up!" Tianlu sulked, already annoyed by being shaved, and now the beasts were laughing at him, making him even more unhappy. He made up his mind: when the director treats us to a meal, I'll make sure we get our money's worth.
Puss in Boots, who was lecturing the four-legged creature and the rabbit, suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.
Filming continued with the scene of "The Beasts Are Here." In subsequent shots, the two award-winning actors did not laugh, but the staff around them started to laugh frequently, which led to repeated takes.
The repeated reshoots were undoubtedly the most painful for Tianlu. The constant laughter made every second feel like an eternity. But thankfully, after a period of torment, the filming was finally over, and Tianlu could finally escape this place that had driven him to despair. However…
"Pfft, hahaha, Tianlu, what kind of look is this?!" Baijie pointed at Tianlu, whose hair was so long it covered his eyes, and laughed so hard he almost fell over.
"Aaaaaah! Don't laugh!" Tianlu's expression was extremely grief-stricken: I knew it, I knew it would be like this. Baijie never comforts me, he just laughs at me!
