The daily life of the crew of "Beasts".

Chapter 273 Bizarre Dreams

Under the lens,

Seventy-seven hugged Tianlu's tail and shouted "Dad!" earnestly playing the role of a homeless child who had never seen his father and longed for his father's love.

Now he feels that as long as he doesn't have to go to school, anything is interesting!

"Cut! The emotion isn't right, let's reshoot!"

Behind the camera, the blurry-looking director raised the clapperboard and shouted.

"Okay, director, I'll definitely try harder next time!" Seventy-seven stood at attention and responded. In a daze, the second shoot began again, and he still grabbed Tianlu's tail.

"Daddy! Daddy, don't you want me anymore? I finally found you, please don't abandon me!"

"Cut! That was over the top, reshoot!"

"Ahh, yes!"

The third shoot.

"Cut! We've already reshot it three times. Are you even capable? If not, let's not film it at all!"

"I...I'll definitely be able to do it next time!"

the fourth time……

"Cut! Retake! Retake! This time won't work either!"

"Ah yes!"

Seventy-seven repeated the same thing over and over again: rushing out, hugging its tail, crying and fussing. The novelty of filming for the first time was gradually worn away in this process.

With each "click!" his expression gradually became numb, his movements mechanically replaying, the surrounding scene flashing like a slideshow, like an endlessly repeating drama.

"Cut! Your shots are getting worse and worse. Never mind, it's lunchtime, let's take a nap." The director, his voice muffled, helplessly called a halt to filming.

Seventy-Seven moved two steps almost instinctively. When he raised his front paws again, he was pulled by Bai Jie. His dazed consciousness paused, and he suddenly realized what was happening.

"Huh? Huh! It's over... It's finally over!" He trembled slightly with excitement as he grabbed Bai Jie, and in an instant, as if granted a pardon, he turned and ran.

He couldn't stand being there for even a second longer; it was even more terrifying than school! They reshot the scene countless times, did countless takes, and his acting was constantly criticized. He was so discouraged that he almost cried several times!

The scenery distorted and changed, and he pulled Bai Jie along, rushing forward with his head down.

The swaying shadows of trees brushed against my face, yellow sand and cacti flashed in the corner of my eye, and I walked through a sea of ​​clouds, my feet crunching on the withered yellow leaves.

When he looked up again, he was bewildered to find himself in front of his familiar school classroom.

Why...did we get here?

He stared blankly around, the classroom was empty, only their shadows swaying in the sunlight streaming in from outside.

"Of course I'm here to catch up on my homework." Bai Jie said matter-of-factly, pulling out his workbook from his schoolbag. Qi Shiqi stared at him blankly, her mouth slightly agape.

"You don't know this the first time, but to prevent us from falling behind in our studies, the Xie Zhi assigned us homework."

"We need to make the most of our lunch break and finish writing quickly."

As he spoke, he pulled out a chair and sat down, then spread out his workbook. Seventy-seven, looking dazed, also pulled out a chair and sat down. The soft scratching of pen tips against paper quickly filled the empty classroom, making the small noise all the more noticeable.

After a long, long time, Seventy-Seven came to his senses and looked down at the blank homework. The momentary silence was like the calm before the storm.

The next moment, he broke down, and his tearful screams echoed throughout the room!

"Aaaaaah! Why did I have to go and act in a movie?!"

The sun was high in the sky, in the early morning.

Seventy-seven was suddenly awakened from a deep sleep. The terrifying experience in the dream flashed through his mind, gradually becoming blurred as he regained consciousness, but the intense emotions still lingered in his heart.

He instinctively sought a sense of security. All the other beasts on the bed had already gotten up and left, leaving only Bai Jie still fast asleep, clutching his pillow. He immediately burst into tears and pounced on him.

"Waaaaah! I was wrong, Bai Jie! I never want to go to the film set to film again! Working and studying in shifts is so painful and tiring!"

Bai Jie was forcibly woken up from his dream. He opened his eyes groggily and saw the terrified expression on Qi Shiqi's face. He immediately felt a jolt of fear and guilt.

I think I went too far in my dream... I'm so awful!

In the classroom at school.

Walnut saw two Pixiu enter the classroom through the back door. Baijie met his gaze for a moment, then they both looked away, feeling guilty, and went about their own business.

"Walnut, I had a nightmare last night."

Seventy-seven rubbed his eyes and sat down. The work and study dreams that night tormented him so much that he couldn't sleep well all night. Now his head was nodding and he was so sleepy that he kept yawning.

Walnut broke out in a cold sweat instantly. He turned around, his expression matching his stammering, and asked, "Momo, Momoji, what's wrong?"

"Ah—, I'm afraid of having that nightmare again. I remember Mengji can enter my dreams, right? Walnut, can you help me tonight...?"

So it turns out they didn't discover it after all.

Walnut breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing Seventy-Seven clutching his chest, still shaken, he straightened his back and patted himself.

"Don't worry, Walnut has it covered! Seventy-Seven definitely won't have any more nightmares tonight."

After all, they've already made all the threats...

Bai Jie silently added to himself, then awkwardly turned his face away.

A silence fell between the front and back rows. The two Inari foxes looked around, feeling that something was off about Walnut and Baijie.

One of the two animals was busy fiddling with its schoolbag, while the other was looking intently at its homework. They both seemed to be busy, but it was unclear what they were busy with.

Just as Shota was about to ask a question, he was unintentionally interrupted by Seventy-Seven, who was too caught up in the situation to notice.

"Where are Qiong Xiaoqi and the others? Did they go to film today?"

There was no beast at the spot where the three small ferocious creatures were located to their side. Seventy-seven raised its paw, pointed in that direction, and turned its head to ask Bai Jie.

"Ah, yes. They'll probably wrap up filming after today."

"That's a good thing. They're freed from the dreaded two-shift work-study system."

Seventy-seven clasped his hands together and bowed in mid-air, looking relieved that he hadn't fallen into such a miserable life.

Fu-zai turned around and looked at him blankly.

Seventy-Seven didn't react this way yesterday. What happened last night?

the other side.

On set, Puss in Boots stared at the Taotie in front of him, looking it up and down. Its yellow and black body was huge, and its scarlet eyes looked somewhat ferocious.

"You want to join the film crew?"

She rolled up the script and tucked it into her bosom, looking up with an air of profound mystery.

Taotie turned away and remained silent.

He didn't want to take on acting roles in dramas before, but he preferred gangster roles involving fighting and killing. Later, he couldn't bring himself to do it, so he started doing live streaming. Now, everything has failed.

The three little fierce beasts stood in the middle, watching the two beasts fall into a long silence. Qiong Xiaoqi was so anxious that he frantically tried to wink and make faces at his uncle, opening and closing his mouth to give him instructions.

—Say yes! Hurry up and say yes!

They're here today to film their last scene, and Taotie is here to take over his son's job.

When Qiong Xiaoqi last visited their home, he heard the landlord urging for rent outside the door. When the landlord left and he went inside, he saw that the father and son were eating worse than they were eating at his own home.

How can you not seize such a great opportunity? If it were me, I would have agreed immediately!

Taotie stared at its face for a long time before finally reluctantly giving in, "Yes, director... I want to join the film crew and film a movie."

"It's rare that you can control your temper." Taotie suddenly said, and Qiong Xiaoqi immediately looked at him with an expression that said, "Are you out of your mind?" Xiao Taotao also exclaimed.

Sure enough, Taotie immediately glared at him angrily, "I told you to shut up, kid! If you say another word, I'll beat you to death!"

"Ahem! Alright, alright, now that we've finished discussing it, let's go film. There's a scene of yours that we can test filming. We can discuss the rest of your scenes later."

Having achieved his goal, Puss in Boots quickly coughed to smooth things over, then dragged the four ferocious beasts towards the filming location.

The following filming content was familiar to everyone when they read the script: the three little monsters parted ways under the tree after Chaos's death, and Taotie and Qiongqi preyed on Dang Kang and then grew up.

The first shot went smoothly, and the three little monsters and the big factory crew completed the shot without any problems. Puss in Boots yelled "Cut!" and nodded in satisfaction.

"Great, I'll add a chicken leg to your lunch."

However, she was too happy too soon. When the second scene came on, every time they finished filming the part where they were eating meat, Qiong Xiaoqi and Tao Xiaowu made a series of mistakes.

More than half of the meat reserves in the warehouse have been used up.

Puss in Boots stared at the two burping, round-bellied guys, veins bulging on his forehead, a gritted-teeth smile on his face.

"Have you two eaten enough? If you eat any more, we'll deduct it from your paychecks..."

The two little thieves' satisfied expressions froze, and they felt a sudden jolt as if they had been electrocuted, their hair standing on end. A future so poor they had to eat dirt slowly unfolded before their eyes.

In a flash, Qiong Xiaoqi pounced on Puss in Boots, rolling and scrambling to his feet.

"I'm sorry, director, we shouldn't have been so audacious as to try to freeload by repeatedly making the same mistakes!"

Taotie's eyelids twitched. "You recruited way too fast. Do you really have no backbone when it comes to money?"

Puss in Boots turned his head and looked over. He was silent for a moment, and the next moment he knelt down in front of Puss in the same posture as Poor Little Qi. "I'm sorry."

After dealing with the two slackers, the rest of the filming went smoothly. Neither of the two little devils expected that they could produce such high efficiency under the threat of having their pay docked.

When the film crew finished get off work, the staff packed up and slowly dispersed, leaving the crew looking at the deserted set with a sense of loss.

"I won't be able to earn any more money from acting anymore. What am I going to do?" Qiong Xiaoqi sighed.

"What does it matter? You'll just be exploited by your uncle anyway." Taotie lowered its eyes, looking at the last stack of banknotes it had earned, and casually retorted to its brother beside it.

"Why are you speaking such blunt truths? Can't you wish me well for once? At least I've never forgotten you when something good happens to me!"

"Oh." Seeing that the other party was about to get impatient again, Taotie looked up and agreed.

He was poor, inexperienced, and extremely arrogant.

Even though my brother agreed, why am I still so angry?

"Are you two ever going to stop? Get out of here!" The Taotie called out impatiently from a distance. The two little monsters had no choice but to turn around and leave with the crowd.

For a long time afterward, the various mythical beasts lived, worked, and studied in an orderly manner.

Until this day, the First Qilin finally resolved the hidden danger in its bloodline.
