"Thank you, I'll get off at the front." Kunpeng said suddenly while sitting in the back seat of the car.
Duan Jiaze parked the car on the side of the road, and looked back to see Kunpeng carrying the cat bag on his back. Today he went to the city for a meeting, and Kunpeng was going to buy pet supplies, so he took Kunpeng along.
"Teacher Kunpeng, we'll meet here later, please be careful," Duan Jiaze said.
The little boy had already got out of the car, holding on to the car door, and glanced coldly, "?"
Duan Jiaze: "I mean pay attention to the safety of the human race..."
Kunpeng: "Oh."
Among so many dispatched animals, Kunpeng has the greatest contrast between appearance and heart, even more so than Yousu. Although the little girl may look weaker, Kunpeng is more ferocious.
Although Kunpeng has never shown it, whenever Duan Jiaze said that Kunpeng seemed to be following the rules in the human world, he would always laugh and say nothing to the other dispatched animals.
I went to the city for a meeting, and by the way, I confirmed the investment and construction of Tongxin Village. The sponsors were all in place, and the construction will start soon.
Before, Lingyuan cooperated with the Propaganda Department and helped Donghai City shoot a promotional video, so there are also people who are familiar with it. One of their directors surnamed Ma approached Duan Jiaze to discuss it, with a worried expression on his face, "Director Duan, we are going to have a travel party soon, and I would like to ask, can I borrow an actor from you?"
Duan Jiaze said in embarrassment: "This is not good, our animals don't perform..."
Everyone has collaborated on filming, and they know how obedient the animals in the spirit are, even if they have not been trained in acting, it is enough.
Director Ma was stunned for a moment, and quickly shook his head: "You misunderstood, I was talking about Mr. Xiong!"
"Xiong Siqian..." Duan Jiaze smiled awkwardly, "I was scared to death, I thought we wanted animal actors."
"It's not a circus," Director Ma also laughed. "Mr. Xiong's level is praised by the masters of the Provincial Peking Opera Theater. We want to invite him to add luster to the party."
However, that Mr. Xiong doesn't sell other people's face very much. How many local enthusiasts in this field have been invited, but it is useless. They have accompanied the deputy governor. What's more, their requirements are relatively... Director Ma also asked Director Duan to see if there was a chance.
The misunderstanding just now made Director Ma less nervous.
Duan Jiaze hesitated, "I don't know..."
Director Ma said: "Principal Duan! Our party is to promote the city's tourism products and culture. The organizers put a lot of thought into it. The invitation to Mr. Xiong is not just to perform Peking Opera... Hey, how about this, let's chat in our office ?”
Director Ma was excited and felt that he couldn't explain clearly for a while, so he simply invited Duan Jiaze to discuss in detail.
Duan Jiaze was too embarrassed to refuse, since he was in the same building anyway, he took the elevator with Director Ma and went to their office.
"The lamp shines on thousands of generals, and a box can hold a million soldiers. We are talking about shadow puppetry. In fact, there is a shadow puppetry inheritance in Donghai City, and it is in Huilong Town." Director Ma opened a video on the computer and introduced it to Duan Jiaze. .
"Huilong Shadow Puppetry has been around for at least hundreds of years, and it is a provincial intangible cultural heritage. It is said that the first performances were all related to water dragons - which contains many traditions of the East China Sea - praying for blessings and worshiping gods, celebrating New Years, and later Theater troupes will also be invited for various banquets.
"The singing style is a fusion of various local folk tunes, and later also some Peking opera singing. But in the past few decades, it has declined rapidly. Up to now, the last inheritor we can find is a man surnamed Liu in Huilong Town. old mr.
"This is a video we shot at Mr. Liu's house. He hasn't performed for a long time. It's just that occasionally we hold some cultural activities in the city and invite him and his apprentices. However, there is no accompaniment of gongs and drums. The old man used to sing The old buddy of the team quit a long time ago, and he is not even here anymore, his voice is not good, and sometimes he can only play the old recordings."
Duan Jiaze saw that the shadow puppet of Mr. Liu introducing himself appeared in the video, all of which were well placed in the box, as well as some scripts he copied by hand. The classic songs are all related to local legends, most of them are Donghai dragons, and there are also Nezha and Jingwei.
There is still a scene that can be clearly seen, the ink characters of "Dragon King Patrols" on the manuscript are being stroked by Mr. Liu's thin hands.
Mr. Liu’s son also learned shadow puppetry when he was a child, but he didn’t engage in this dying industry when he grew up. Mr. Liu’s apprentice also has his own job. He just learns from him out of hobby and occasionally performs. Maybe twice a year.
Director Ma said: "We want to preserve this culture, and the old man also wants to continue to perform, so we invite him to perform this time, hoping to attract relevant companies. In addition, we have found some actors and musicians from local troupes to contribute to the repertoire. Voice over soundtrack."
Because Huilong shadow puppetry originally incorporates a lot of folk tunes, it is easy for professionals to learn them.
Director Ma said that Mr. Liu has been adapting the repertoire for a long time, hoping to meet the preferences of the new era. This time, he wrote a special one. They also asked local musicians to adapt the soundtrack and arrangement. If Xiong Siqian can also join the lineup , will definitely add a lot of color.
"Can I watch the video again?" Duan Jiaze asked with a thought.
"I still have a previous performance video here, you can take a look." Director Ma played another video, "This is "Prayer", which is about our people in the East China Sea offering sacrifices to the Dragon King in the past, praying for good weather, and providing us with the opportunity to study local folk customs. It is a good reference, and the opera words have been included in the local annals."
As the video played, shadow puppets appeared one by one on the curtain, performing all kinds of grand occasions in which the ancient people prayed for the blessing of the Dragon King.
Watching the video, Duan Jiaze suddenly felt his heart beating wildly. He pressed the table and said, "I agree! Director Ma, I will ask Mr. Xiong to contact you later, and you can send the script."
Duan Jiaze's sudden speech startled Director Ma. When he looked up, he saw Director Duan's expression was particularly agitated, and he muttered in his heart: I didn't expect Director Duan to be so sentimental. It's very touching...
"Okay, this script was adapted by Mr. Liu himself. It combines the essence of the previous plays and makes it a good show for the party. It mainly shows the folk customs and legends of the East China Sea. It lasts for nearly 20 minutes." Director Ma introduced. If there is no interception and adaptation, a shadow puppet show needs to perform all the content, and it can take up to forty or fifty hours.
"Very good, great." Duan Jiaze nodded, his expression still a little excited, "If the performance is good, I will invite Mr. Liu and his disciples to come to our science museum to perform every week! We can create a show related to animals! "
Director Ma didn't expect Duan Jiaze to say that, and he was surprised and delighted at the same time. The reason they put in all this effort was to make Huilong Shadow Puppetry attract tourist resources at the party and be favored by others.
Only people who can make money will study and engage in work. Mr. Liu's apprentices and sons look for other jobs because they can't make ends meet. As for Duan Jiaze, he directly expressed his willingness to invite them to perform, which was definitely a surprise.
"This, this, we will work hard!" Director Ma shook Duan Jiaze's hand several times, making a promise on his behalf.
After the two settled, Duan Jiaze had to go back. Director Ma didn't expect him to agree without even asking Mr. Xiong. Category.
After Duan Jiaze left the building, his mood gradually calmed down.
He himself finds it a bit unbelievable. In fact, from an objective point of view, Mr. Liu is not particularly "miserable". Just talking about folk culture, China also has more inheritors who are in worse situations. Mr. Liu still has a Apprentice!
"Damn it, Director Ma won't trick me." Duan Jiaze laughed at himself.
But Duan Jiaze didn't regret it. Many zoos need to add value to play to increase entertainment, and the popular science museum actually needs fun so that tourists can understand animal knowledge more vividly.
Play additional projects, such as those animal circus performances are the most "classic", and there are also many zoos that plan children's plays. But take shadow puppetry - if it is really taken, then Lingyuan should be the first one.
And the cost of inviting them to perform once a week is not high, which is very simple for any zoo. If the content of the performance is good, it is even more worth it.
…
Duan Jiaze didn't expect so much, so he drove to pick up Kunpeng.
There was a lawn next to the place where Kunpeng got off the car, and some children were playing there. When Duan Jiaze heard the car on the side of the road, he saw Kunpeng standing under a utility pole with his bag on his back, and the bag was empty.
Looking further up, Schrödinger actually got on a telegraph pole. Because of his large size, it is very conspicuous from a distance. Below, there are several children and parents watching, looking up at Schrödinger's performance.
Schrödinger always listened to Kunpeng very much, so Duan Jiaze called out to Kunpeng.
Kunpeng turned his head and pointed to the top of the telegraph pole.
Duan Jiaze didn't know why, so he got out of the car and walked over there.
When passing a stone bench, Duan Jiaze saw two little boys lying there reading a magazine. There was an animal on it, which looked a bit like a mouse, but its ears stood up like a rabbit. It was fluffy and very cute. cute.
Little boy A: "I want to raise this..."
Little boy B: "I want to raise this too!"
"Little friend, what is this?" Duan Jiaze bent down and asked.
Little boy A looked up at Duan Jiaze and said, "This is a pika!"
Duan Jiaze: "Thank you," he paused, and added, "I want to raise her too."
The little boy B laughed and said: "Uncle, do you think you can raise it if you want? This is an endangered animal! It's very rare!"
Duan Jiaze: "Yes, I run a zoo."
Little boys: "..."
So good, not only cute, but also rare. Duan Jiaze thought.
He waved at the two speechless little boys and continued walking towards Kunpeng.
When he got closer, Duan Jiaze realized why Schrödinger crawled to such a dangerous place. It turned out that besides him, there was a palm-sized kitten hanging on the telephone pole, trembling.
The people around were discussing: "Mom, why haven't the big cat and the kitten come down?"
"Honey, the kitten is scared, but the big cat is comforting it."
"Would it be impossible to get down? It's so high, what should I do if I fall?"
Duan Jiaze said in surprise, "How did such a small cat get up there?"
Kunpeng: "I don't know, I'll ask later."
Duan Jiaze: "..."
Duan Jiaze: "How much longer?"
Kunpeng was silent for a while, and climbed up holding the telegraph pole.
"!!" Duan Jiaze was frightened to death. He stretched out his hand and took off the Kunpeng. After looking around, he forced a smile to the onlookers, "Xiaopeng, you can't climb, the cat will come down by itself."
Kunpeng understood Duan Jiaze's hint, raised his head and whistled at Schrödinger.
Hearing Kunpeng's voice, Schrödinger stopped hesitating, poked his head suddenly, and grabbed the back of the kitten's neck. The kitten let out a scream that was almost out of tune, and its feet were also moving slightly. It was not because the back of the neck was bitten. And calm, you can see how nervous it is.
"Wow! It caught the kitten!" The reason why Schrödinger didn't dare to act rashly, these onlookers all looked worried, staring at Schrödinger, wondering how it would get down again.
Schrödinger jumped down almost vertically, and when he was still a third of the distance from the ground, his body flipped and fell down.
However, Kunpeng just took a step forward, stretched out his hand, and accurately caught Schrödinger.
Schrödinger was lying on Kunpeng's two arms, and the kitten was lying on Schrödinger's chest, with its mouth open and whining.
The kitten's eyes were wide open. The moment it fell down just now, it lost its voice in fright. Now it uttered weakly: "...Mi."
Kunpeng raised his head and said to Duan Jiaze: "Its mother put it up, and then it never came back."
Duan Jiaze's face froze for a moment, and he looked up at the people around him. Fortunately, they all thought they were children's imaginations, and it was actually quite logical.
"Okay, then let's take the kitten back and find a home for it, shall we?" Duan Jiaze said in a coaxing tone, mainly for the onlookers, then took Kunpeng's hand and walked back Walk.
The other children followed them all the way to the car, all staring at the kitten. For these children, what happened just now was too exciting for them to talk about it several times.
When Kunpeng got into the car, the kitten had already been put into his hands by Schrödinger. He stroked the kitten, but the kitten seemed to be more nervous and let out a childish breath.
As the vehicle was driving, Schrödinger sat next to Kunpeng, put one foot on his leg, and licked the kitten's head with his head. The kitten was frail, its head was shaking from being licked, and it resisted the comfort of a strange cat.
Kunpeng suddenly said again: "...it's hungry."
Duan Jiaze was frightened to death, "Don't spit in my car!!"
Kunpeng looked at Duan Jiaze expressionlessly.
Duan Jiaze looked at him from the rearview mirror, afraid that Kunpeng could not help but open his mouth and spit out fish to feed the kitten, "Other people will use the car in the afternoon, and you have no time to wash the car after throwing up here! Besides, we still feed it to such a small cat." Goat milk!"
When people get in the car, there will be a fishy smell...
Kunpeng frowned, but still agreed, "Okay."
Duan Jiaze said, "By the way, do you want to raise it yourself, or give it to someone else to adopt?" Although Duan Jiaze was outside just now and said in a parental tone that he would give the kitten away, in fact he still wanted to ask Kunpeng for his opinion.
Schrödinger tilted his head to look at Kunpeng.
Kunpeng said lightly: "Send it out."
The kitten didn't know that its fate was decided just like that, it turned over in Kunpeng's hand, held his hand and opened its mouth to bite down. But the seemingly tender flesh is not something that its newly grown teeth can bite.
No one can bite such a big cat, let alone Kunpeng.
Duan Jiaze nodded, "Well, then you can investigate it yourself and send it out."
Kunpeng is not an ordinary child. Duan Jiaze is very relieved that Kunpeng will choose the adopter. There is absolutely no chance of any cat abuser. Even if there is, the one who is abused is probably the other party.
…
After arriving at the Lingyuan, Kunpeng got off at the door, held the cat in his arms and said solemnly, "I'm going to find the sheep."
"... Mmm." Duan Jiaze watched him leave, because at the zoo, Schrödinger didn't need to stay in the cat bag anymore, and followed Kunpeng step by step.
Duan Jiaze parked the car and walked to the office. He was going to talk to Xiong Siqian. Xiong Siqian likes to sing very much, but he usually has to go to work so he can't let it out, so it's not difficult to persuade him to participate. He was going to ask Xiong Siqian to re-evaluate whether Huilong shadow puppetry was of high value.
When passing by Waterfowl Lake, Duan Jiaze saw that there were more people there, so he walked over to take a look. I thought in my heart that no more tourists would fall into the water.
No matter how strict the management is, it can't stop people from going forward to die.
After walking past, Duan Jiaze realized that it wasn't someone who fell into the water, but that Xiao Su was feeding the fish live, and all the tourists were watching.
The tourists are very depressed. They usually throw any food into the lake, not to mention birds, and fish will not eat it. If they are caught by the staff, they will be fined and educated. As for this girl, as soon as she threw food into the lake, a large number of koi and goldfish gathered, and her body came out of the water, which was very spectacular.
This scene is usually not seen. These fish are hiding under the lotus leaves, and their graceful figures can only be caught occasionally. No one even knew that there were so many fish in Waterfowl Lake.
"What's this?" Duan Jiaze wondered, he didn't remember this item in the live broadcast, and squeezed over to see what new operation Xiao Su had invented.
There were too many people, Duan Jiaze managed to get close, and was almost squeezed into the lake. Fortunately, someone supported him, otherwise it would be embarrassing.
"Thank you..." Duan Jiaze raised his head while thanking, and then stayed for a while.
Over there, Xiao Su's camera also turned around just now, and also captured this scene, her eyes widened a little.
The one who supported Duan Jiaze was obviously Lingguang Shenjun, who probably saw Duan Jiaze almost fell into the water, so he saved him out of righteousness. It's just that his appearance and hairstyle are too outstanding, causing the eyes of the onlookers to focus instantly.
"...Hey, when did this handsome guy appear, why don't I remember?"
"I just saw it now, so handsome!"
"The hairstyle is also very handsome, huh."
"Director, are you okay?" Xiao Su put down the fish feed and walked this way, and at the same time said loudly, "Please spread out, don't be crowded, it's a safety hazard."
"It's okay, luckily..." Duan Jiaze glanced at Xiaosu's phone screen, and almost didn't laugh.
[This operation is OK, the hero saves the beauty.]
[Excited, I finally saw Lu Ya again!]
[Wow, Lu Ya is still so handsome!]
[Oh, the principal and the friend are still so affectionate!]
[... Why do I feel a little different? Is it my illusion?]
These netizens actually blindly recognized Ling Guang as Lu Ya, and some of the sober people were confused and questioned their memory.
Ling Guang also glanced at him, smiled slightly, and said gently, "I'm not Lu Ya, I'm Ling Guang."
[Not Lu Ya? ! ! Damn, am I blind?]
[Halo, it's not Lu Ya?]
[It's embarrassing, it's not Luya...but it's really similar]
[I wanted to say just now, what is it like! This handsome guy is a little less aloof, and his hair is different, Lu Ya has strands of highlights, and his hair is dyed in pinches and ends!]
[Is it true that handsome guys like to dye red hair, I want to dye it too]
[The eyes are really similar, they are all phoenix eyes... But they are not exactly the same, the others are far worse]
[Uh, so this is another friend of the principal? ?]
[Don’t run 23333 if you say another friend]
[Hahaha, so the director likes to collect this one?]
Duan Jiaze sweated a little, "Don't talk nonsense, this is a friend."
[So the default is that Lu Ya is really a gay friend ==]
Duan Jiaze: "..."
Duan Jiaze couldn't stand it anymore, he turned his phone around, pointed at the fish below, and said to Xiao Su, "Go ahead."
Xiao Su chuckled, "Okay."
Duan Jiaze shuddered, staring at the eyes of the onlookers, squeezed out of the crowd, and thanked Ling Guang again, "Thank you God just now."
"It should be, I'm nearby." Ling Guang smiled kindly, "Then I'll go back."
…
When eating at night, Duan Jiaze became black when he saw Ling Guang.
There used to be a few red spots on his head, but now he has completely black hair. Facing Duan Jiaze's eyes, he smiled embarrassedly.
Duan Jiaze: "..."
There was Su Xiaosheng who reported: "Dao Jun originally wanted Ling Guang to stick his eyelids..."
In this way, at least there are not so many collisions between the characters, and Daojun has endured it for a long time.
Duan Jiaze: "..."
Duan Jiaze sighed, bully, really a bully!
When he returned to his room, the bully was still lying on his bed. Seeing Duan Jiaze come back, Lu Ya rolled over and changed from a human shape to a bird shape, the big one. He still remembered what Duan Jiaze said, if he was in this form, he could sleep here.
"Get out!" Duan Jiaze said, "You turned back into a human form last night, liar!"
A guilty conscience flashed across Lu Ya's rare face, "You didn't say..."
Duan Jiaze sat up, "I'll say it now."
He stretched out his hand and pushed Lu Ya. It felt good, but obviously he couldn't push Lu Ya.
Lu Ya said dissatisfiedly: "You ask too much!"
Duan Jiaze repeated: "...you go out."
Lu Ya lay down and pretended to be dead.
Duan Jiaze grabbed Lu Ya's wings, "Do you still remember your own settings? Where did your coldness go?"
Lu Ya: "..."
Lu Ya: "...don't make trouble."
Duan Jiaze shook him: "I'm telling you...!"
Before Duan Jiaze finished speaking, he lowered his body, and with a "click", his bed board was overwhelmed and separated from the frame, and collapsed. The sheets and quilts were also rolled up according to the angle at which the bed boards collapsed.
Lu Ya was even worse, the whole thing was stuck in the middle, Duan Jiaze grabbed his feathers, but he still hasn't recovered.
After only a few days of sleeping, the bed collapsed.
Lu Ya was also stunned for a moment, and then complained: "I just said don't make trouble, I won't fix your bed, it depends on where you sleep, and how you explain tomorrow! Haha!"
Complaining to the back, has unknowingly turned into gloating, and even laughed out of selflessness.
Duan Jiaze: "..."
