Chapter 216 The main storyline will begin.
The filming location was quickly rearranged, and the three brothers were called over by Puss in Boots. Bai Jie and Tian Lu crawled into the doghouse and pretended to sleep, while Bi Xie stood to the side.
Position correct, filming... begin.
"3, 2, 1, action!"
The Treasure-Spitting Rat appeared in front of the Evil-Slaying Rat, bowing and offering a basket full of pearls in its paws, its voice trembling with nervousness.
"These are for you!"
Bixie was slightly taken aback, his eyes lowered as he looked at the basket of pearls, not understanding what the weasel wanted to do. He shook his head slightly, "Thank you, but I don't need these."
This sentence was originally very ordinary, but when it fell into the ears of the Treasure-Spitting Mouse, it took on a different meaning. She suddenly covered her mouth, her eyes filled with disbelief.
Now it’s fantasy time.
Suddenly, Bixie grabbed the treasure-spitting rat's paw and held it tightly. His aloof gaze softened, but his words still seemed to leave no room for doubt.
"I don't care about any of that, I only care about... uh..."
As he finished speaking, seeing the Treasure-Spitting Rat's panicked and shy expression, Bixie's state of mind suddenly broke down. Almost instinctively, he avoided eye contact, and his tightly clenched claws loosened.
"Crack!"
Puss in Boots called a halt to filming, and the quiet set suddenly became noisy. The staff, who had thought they could get it right in one take, sighed with regret, as it seemed they would have to work extra hours.
The two peacefully sleeping Pixiu in the doghouse suddenly looked distorted. Bai Jie covered his face, turned over, and his tail began to wag faster and faster involuntarily.
"Oh dear! We almost got it right the first time, get into character, Bixie!" Tianlu jumped up and stomped his paws in exasperation.
Bixie turned his head away.
"Is it really that hard..."
……
They filmed twice more, but apart from the first time, they were never in the right state of mind. Their expressions were stiff and their eyes were unfocused, which made Tianlu anxious and he wanted to just do it himself. However, the original plan for tonight was that they didn't need to wear makeup, so Tutu was not called over.
"Forget it, let's not talk about it face to face. Let's change it to a first-person perspective of the Treasure-Spitting Mouse seeing you confess your love. Just act it out in front of a green screen."
Puss in Boots had no choice but to settle for second best. It was already past midnight, and if they delayed for a few more hours until they came down the mountain, it would be almost dawn. Moreover, the entire crew had been filming all night and their sleep schedules hadn't been adjusted, so their condition was deteriorating.
Looking around, apart from her, the nocturnal animal on set, all the other animals were exhausted and yawning. Bai Jie and Tian Lu, having finished filming their last scene ahead of schedule, simply lay down in the doghouse and fell asleep. What a perfect example of turning a fake into a real one!
In this situation, no one had any objection to the director's arrangement; in fact, everyone was eager to leave work as soon as possible.
"Okay, I'll try my best to get it right the first time this time."
The evil spirit's ears and tail drooped, and it spoke with a lack of confidence.
"Remove 'try your best,' and you'll get it right in one go this time." Xiaohang appeared behind him, his eyes bloodshot. He carried a trident and spoke like a vengeful ghost crawling out of the abyss to claim lives!
The evil spirit felt a chill run down its spine and almost turned around to swat at it with its claws, but thankfully it managed to hold back.
……
The elimination of eye contact reduced the difficulty of filming, and this time it finally went smoothly. After filming the last shot, it was already 2 a.m. If the beast who came from the city wanted to go back, it would probably be dawn by the time it got home, so everyone decided to stay overnight in Caiyun Village.
On the second day,
The three brothers rode in a four-wheeled vehicle to school with Walnut, while Oleander saw them off and then rode with the film crew back to the city.
A road winds its way through the mountains to the city. With the development of the times, even small villages like Caiyun Village, which are built by local folks, have started to build roads.
Several cars drove one after another, the bright sun on the horizon fully peeked out, the mountains rose and fell, and the endless green sea seemed to ripple with light and shadow under the sunlight.
Zhanhu and Nerium oleander lay on the roof of the car, gazing at the scenery, their fur flying as the oncoming wind whipped their faces.
"Oleander, oleander."
The sounds coming from inside the car were broken and fragmented by the wind. Oleander heard the sound and leaned her head down the edge of the roof to the window.
"What's wrong, Director? Is there something you need?"
The sudden appearance of a large snow leopard's head outside the window startled Puss in Boots, and Xiaohang, who was in the driver's seat, glanced over and almost crashed into the guardrail.
"It's already inappropriate for you to lie on the roof of the car, so please don't do such dangerous things!"
Oleander shrank its neck and pulled its head back after Xiaohang yelled at it.
"Don't do such dangerous things." Puss in Boots was also a little shaken, wiping away cold sweat and giving a wry smile. Xiaohang's unfriendly gaze seemed to say: He's already a bit silly, and you're still teasing him.
But it's not my fault, I didn't expect it either.
The car fell silent for a moment as the scenery outside the window rushed by. Puss in Boots turned his head and pretended to look at the scenery. The slightly awkward atmosphere was broken by a knocking sound.
"dong dong dong,"
"Did the director call me in for something?"
The oleander obediently stopped sticking its head down and instead pressed its ear against the roof of the car.
Puss in Boots was helpless.
Why did you have to bring this up now when you're bored and wanted to talk about it later?
However, since the other party had already asked, she still revealed the reason for calling him. The filming had recently reached the main storyline, and she had taken a liking to Oleander, intending to use her as the starting point to develop multiple storylines simultaneously.
"That's the situation. Would you like to come and film in the movie?"
The strong wind generated by the car made its fur fly, its two tails swayed up and down, and Oleander pressed its ears down and blinked its eyes. After figuring things out, it suddenly became excited.
"No problem, director! My older sister has been urging me to find a job, and now I finally have one!"
"Then it's settled!"
Puss in Boots made the decision, then looked at Xiaohang, "The rest is up to you."
Xiaohang glanced at the guardrail outside the window and suddenly had the urge to turn the steering wheel and crash into it!
You just talk the talk, and dump all the work on me, huh?!
Ultimately, his impulsiveness remained just that—impulsiveness. He valued his life, even though his colleagues often slacked off and dumped work on him, and the actors under his command were all troublemakers.
After the beasts returned home, the episode "The Night Journey of Exorcism" was released on TV after a period of post-production. During this time, the crew filmed most of Sesame's scenes, and the script for Oleander and the new main storyline were also prepared.
Puss in Boots has cleared out the storage room in preparation for the arrival of the next batch of razor blades.
……
In the darkness, everything was tinged with a dark hue. The cool air clung to the skin. Bixie watched the treasure-spitting rat run away and tilted his head in confusion.
The weasel offered a basket of precious pearls, but after politely declining, it suddenly covered its face and ran away, saying strange things like, "I'll think about it when I get back."
"What a strange weasel."
Bixie gave an assessment, then prepared to quickly return to his younger brother's belly to hide. He couldn't expose himself to the outside world for too long, otherwise it would be terrible if the Heavenly Court found out.
He turned around and met Tianlu's gaze, who had been awakened by the sound of Baozhu. The air froze for a moment. The two pairs of eyes, one yellow and one green, reflected each other's figures. Baijie, still lying in the doghouse, twitched his eyelids almost imperceptibly.
After a brief eye contact, the two brothers retreated simultaneously, facing each other under the moonlight with the doghouse and Bai Jie in the middle as the center line. Their movements of retreating or stopping were almost identical, like reflections in a mirror!
"Eh?"
Tianlu was taken aback. He raised his lowered body, and the surprise that flashed in his eyes turned into curiosity. He even blinked.
Bixie moved in sync with his brother, but seeing the other's stunned expression, he couldn't help but chuckle softly as he closed his eyes. However, Tianlu, several meters away, couldn't hear it.
After a few seconds of stalemate, Tianlu took the initiative. He suddenly rushed forward two steps, then retreated sharply, leaped up, and flipped to the side. His series of movements were dazzling. However, no matter what he did to ward off evil, it was as if he followed along with the movements in perfect unison, or even more accurately, in complete synchronization.
While they were making a fuss, Bai Jie rolled over, seemingly disturbed from her sleep? But what no one could see was that her face was already twitching wildly, her expression a complex mix of emotions...
Finally, after trying, Tianlu rolled back to Baijie's side, closed his eyes, and yawned sleepily.
"Ah~ what is it, it's a mirror."
As soon as he finished speaking, a soft snore came from his nose, as if he had fallen asleep!
"Hey, it's your turn to imitate me, isn't it?" Bixie walked up to his head and gently patted the bottom, but Tianlu, who fell asleep in three seconds, remained unmoved.
Bixie sighed helplessly.
"Ah~"
He then leaned down and whispered in Tianlu's ear, his voice soft and slightly indulgent, "Let's play together again next time..."
After saying that, he straightened up and patted Bai Jie's head again, "And you, Bai Jie, why are you sleeping even more soundly than Tian Lu?"
In the cardboard box not far away, Walnut, who had been frightened into unconsciousness, groggily got up, but as soon as he straightened up, he saw the scene of Bixie and the chicks crawling back into Tianlu's belly, and then his eyelids rolled back.
Fainted again.
I don't know if I'll be able to hold my pee until tomorrow morning, or if I'll lose control halfway through.
When the scene quieted down again and all the beasts fell into a deep sleep, Bai Jie opened his eyes as before. The moonlight shone on his face, burying half of his face in shadow.
"hu~hu~"
The sound of Tianlu snoring echoed in his ears. He turned over and hugged the other person, his expression a mixture of amusement and exasperation.
"Tianlu, it's been over two years and you still haven't noticed? Today you're even using him as a mirror, it's a miracle. Or... are you pretending to be stupid too?"
