The daily life of the crew of "Beasts".

Chapter 208 4 doesn't feel like their feelings have been deceived.

There's really no way to improve Bixie's acting skills. He's been doing this for so many years, it's really hard to correct it in a short time, especially since it's a high-difficulty acting skill like crying scenes. Bai Jie only recently learned it.

The three brothers were at their wits' end, and finally had to resort to a clumsy method: during their lunch break, they would practice repeatedly and keep repeating in Bixie's ear, "Tianlu fell off a cliff and can't be found. You are very sad, you are very sad," trying to brainwash him into taking the role.

Even after the break ended, under the expectant gazes of the two brothers... Bixie still hadn't made much progress.

When Xue Zimao came over to ask him questions, he looked away.

"Still not working?"

Bixie gave a soft "hmm," her voice weak, "I really can't cry..."

Puss in Boots understood, "Alright then, we'll have to use a stunt double."

Since crying scenes are impossible to act out, then find a stand-in to take their place. This is the usual procedure for film crews when encountering dangerous scenes. However, Puss in Boots is insanely fond of real filming and requires actors to perform the stunts themselves. If it weren't for the fact that a bunch of mythical creatures would have been destroyed by her long ago.

Therefore, the stunt doubles in the film crew are not for filming dangerous scenes; they are simply used to cover for the actors when they are not present or unable to perform.

When the ancient chapter ended, the three brothers were crying. Bai Jie and Bi Xie couldn't cry no matter what, so Tian Lu Kai, who played three different characters, had to act it out. The performance was so lifelike that even the beasts were worried that he might have a split personality.

After having their makeup done by TuTu in the dressing room, Bai Jie and Tian Lu returned to the film set. Si Bu Xiang greeted them with a slightly cheerful voice.

"The sun plum blossoms are beautiful! How are the preparations going?"

plum bossom?

Bai Jie glanced at Tian Lu beside him, then suddenly realized that Si Bu Xiang had mistaken him for someone else. Apart from a few distinctive features such as fur color and pupils, the brothers were almost identical in every other detail. It was normal for them to be mistaken for each other after makeup.

Tianlu was currently immersed in his role, and upon hearing this, he simply nodded without offering any explanation.

Bai Jie's expression turned strange upon seeing this. It was so similar to the scene where he had brought together Bixie and Sibuxiang last time. He also remembered that there was a similar scene in the original play, and that he had copied that scene as his inspiration.

But now, is this going to happen again?

So, the key strategy for defeating the Four Impossibles was entirely developed by Tianlu?

Green hat, bull's head, body double?

Which category should this be classified under?

While Bai Jie was lost in thought, Puss in Boots had already raised the clapperboard. He caught a glimpse of this scene out of the corner of his eye, and without further ado, he quickly got ready.

"3, 2, 1, action!"

Once the signal to begin was given, the crew immediately sprang into action. As expected, the crying scenes went very smoothly after Tianlu was cast. While shedding tears, Baijie noticed, intentionally or unintentionally, the adorable expression on Sibuxiang's face.

The poor Qilin had no idea that the creature in front of it was a fake, seemingly arrogant and composed on the outside, but actually possessing the soul of a Siberian Husky on the inside.

……

Filming ended, and the process went more smoothly than expected. The new film was completed in one take, shooting all the scenes in one go. Tianlu took a break, and before he had even finished removing his makeup, he went to teach Bixie a lesson.

"I told you to get into character!"

"But crying scenes are really difficult." Pi Xie said helplessly, his voice lacking confidence.

Tianlu still had some red dye left on his body. Baijie glanced at it and then looked at the unblemished Sibuxiang in the distance.

I wonder what his expression will be if he finds out the truth. I want to see.

Bai Jie was just thinking about it, but perhaps due to his extraordinary luck, what he thought actually happened.

That afternoon, the four little ones came to Qilin Cave after get off work. Si Bu Xiang had temporarily returned home because of filming. Usually, he would ride the cloud to deal with things, since he was fast.

After the three brothers finished their homework and sat down to eat, Si Bu Xiang would say between bites, "Hmm, little plum blossom was really good this afternoon. She wasn't doing well this morning, but she's improved so much after lunch break."

Bai Jie paused in his rice-eating motion, Bi Xie withdrew the chopsticks he was using to serve his younger brother, looked up with a confused expression, and then suddenly realized what was happening.

“That wasn’t me this afternoon, it was Tianlu.”

"Cough! Cough cough?!" The Four-Faced Beast choked, coughing for a long time before finally swallowing its food and staring blankly over. "That's the little blue circle?!"

"Hmm." Bixie nodded.

The Four-Faced Beast stared wide-eyed in astonishment, while Bai Jie couldn't help but purse his lips, suppressing the wildly upturned corners of his mouth.

Bai Jie: Hehe.

After a while, Si Bu Xiang understood. "So that's how it is. Little Blue Circle's acting is really good. I didn't even recognize her. She acted exactly like Little Plum Blossom when she cried."

"Hmm?" Bixie looked confused again and hummed in bewilderment.

Bai Jie suddenly stopped laughing.

Oh no, we're exposed!!

The First Qilin also shuddered.

"Until when, um!" Bixie asked suspiciously, his two claws reaching out with lightning speed to block the words that followed. He looked up in surprise and found that it was Bai Jie and Shi Qilin.

"W-what's wrong?" The Four-Faced Beast was startled.

Tianlu belatedly raised his face and looked around. He was momentarily stunned, then suddenly realized that he was also involved, and his heart skipped a beat.

"No, nothing! This is quite delicious, let Bixie try it!" Bai Jie hurriedly picked up a piece of vegetable and stuffed it into Bixie's mouth. When feeding him, he could clearly see the question mark in the other's eyes.

Nobody would believe that reason!

Si Bu Xiang hesitated, but Shi Qilin didn't give him a chance to speak, and directly dodged the question, saying, "Oh, eldest son, don't ask."

Bixie and Sibuxiang actually wanted to ask more questions, but since their father had spoken and the occasion was inappropriate, they had no choice but to keep quiet. However, once the three Qilin and three Pixiu returned to their rooms, they immediately started pressing for answers again.

Bixie cornered Baijie, his gaze intense, "What exactly happened?"

Tianlu was playing with his paws with his head down, as if this had nothing to do with him, but the next moment Bixie turned his attention to him.

"And Tianlu, do you know something?"

Tianlu, with many interpretations: Aba Aba.

Meanwhile on the other side...

"Eldest son, don't ask anymore, it's really nothing."

The First Qilin was having a headache dealing with the Four Unlikes; its head was bigger than two heads.

"No! Father, you're definitely hiding something from me, and it must be very important! Was there something wrong with letting me go out with Plum Blossom and Sun in the first place?!"

Shi Qilin was shocked. When did his eldest son grow a brain? Or was he just lucky and guessed correctly?

However, it seems that this matter can no longer be kept secret. Neither he nor the two little Pixiu are good at keeping secrets. The reason why it has only been exposed now is that Bixie and Sibuxiang did not notice anything unusual at the beginning and did not come to ask them.

Under repeated questioning from the Four-Faced Beast, the First Qilin finally couldn't hold on any longer and confessed the truth.

"Okay, okay, I'll tell you, but don't be angry, baby. Actually, arranging for you to go out was a plan that Xiaobaijie and I had planned."

"Father!"

Si Bu Xiang's face flushed red, his shame and anger evident. However, the situation was not unexpected. The thought that Little Plum Blossom had cooperated with her father in such a performance made his heart beat faster involuntarily.

"Ahem, also, actually, the one who went out with you back then... wasn't Little Pixie. Actually, it was Little... Tianlu in disguise..."

"But this wasn't my idea! It was Xiao Baijie. He basically planned everything that time. I was only responsible for the beginning part!"

As soon as the words were spoken, it was as if a "crack" sound rang out—the sound of a heart breaking.

"Ah... Father, what did you say?"

Shi Qilin instinctively covered his mouth. Seeing the expression on Si Bu Xiang's face as if the sky had collapsed, he first said "Oh no!" and then suddenly wished he could slap himself.

Why can't you control your chatter?!

……

Fantasy is beautiful, reality is cruel.

Having his defenses pierced by the cruel reality, the Four-Faced Beast silently retreated to his room and shut himself away. He remained silent no matter what the two Qilins outside said, feeling a sense of desolation as if his emotions had been betrayed.

The next day, he stayed in the house all morning, remaining withdrawn and questioning his existence, and didn't even have the courage to go out and meet his three brothers.

Think about it too.

Bixie: Because of something I had no involvement in, I was inexplicably shown kindness by myself.

Tianlu: Disguise himself as Xiaomeihua to win her heart.

Bai Jie: The planner of this project.

How is he supposed to face this?!

Sibuxiangdi banged his head on the ground countless times, burying his head in the pillow.

Fortunately, the three brothers didn't have any scenes to film today, and they left early in the morning. However, he still didn't really want to go out and face it. But he couldn't stay home forever.

At noon, Shi Qilin received a phone call.

"Hey, director. Um, uh-huh, okay, I'll go get my eldest son right away."

Then he put down his phone, ran over, and knocked on the door of the Four-Faced Beast.

"Boom, boom boom!"

"Eldest son, it's time to film! The director has already called us. The little Pixiu have been gone for a while now, hurry up and come out!"

Inside the room, Si Bu Xiang covered his head with a pillow. The increasingly loud knocking at the door kept urging him on. Five minutes later, he reluctantly got off the bed.

A family of three Qilin came to the film set to film a scene depicting the childhood of the Four-Unlikes. It was supposed to be a simple scene, but because the actor himself was not in good condition and made repeated mistakes, the three Qilin were busy until the evening before they could finally go home.

Judging by the time, the Pixiu brothers should have been home by now, but the Four-Faced Beast dared not go looking for them. How could that be allowed in the eyes of the First Qilin?

"Eldest son, don't be shy. At least Xiao Baijie supports you. Just keep pursuing her shamelessly. That's how your father won over your mother back then."

So that very night, Si Bu Xiang, the eldest son in the family, was kicked out of the house!
