Ch77 - Thirsty

“Zhao Zhao, what’s wrong with you today?” Director Yang found that Li Zhao was sitting in a daze on the lounge chair. He wasn’t reading the script or playing with the mobile phone, just staring at an old tree in the studio. Thus, Director Yang dragged a stool to sit down beside him. “How do you feel about life?”

This was the group’s golden doll and nothing could happen to him. 

“Director Yang?” Li Zhao saw Director Yang’s big face and had his senses scared back. “How are you today?”

“Why do you look so worried?” Director Yang thought that Li Zhao was worried about the results of the university entrance examination and patted Li Zhao’ shoulder. “It’s okay. This movie will be finished before the start of school. You can rest assured.”

“I’m not worried about that.” LI Zhao spoke honestly. “I feel that my university entrance examination results shouldn’t be bad.”

Director Yang, “……” 

It was good for young people to have self-confidence.

“Then why are you worried now?” Director Yang asked. “There is an important scene and you can’t drop the ball.”

“I’m… understanding the philosophy of life, the origin of species, the great harmony of all things.”

Director Yang patted him on the shoulder. “Prepare well and wait for your scene.” 

A good young person was forced to become crazy due to the university entrance examination. It was a pity.

Da Guang sat in a corner and changed his sitting position uncomfortably when he saw Li Zhao chatting with Director Yang. What was Li Zhao talking to the director about? The director’s expression was so helpless. Did he know what happened between Da Guang and Du Xing?

Li Zhao didn't know Da Guang's thoughts and had Da Ke pay attention to his phone. If Yan Ting came to the crew to pick him up then he would have Da Ke directly bring Yan Ting into the crew.

The movie Shadow of the Sky wasn't a traditional science fiction movie. This movie have Chinese-style humour, an understanding of peace and ran counter to the mainstream alien movies.

In this movie, an Earthling taught an alien how to grow things using the ground and to pursue a peaceful development of the universe. The alien wasn’t the typical image with big eyes and a round head, but had the appearance of a hairball.

The alien thought that the more hair a creature had, the better they looked. Therefore, they didn’t forget to comfort the male lead. They opposed discrimination and wouldn’t judge a person based on appearance.

The male lead played by Li Zhao was a staff member of the Panda Conservation Base but his family didn’t approve of his job. They wanted him to go home and inherit several mountains that contained mines, fruit and grain.

There was no killing and no war. The writer and director were trying to create a perfectly warm story. 

The scene in the afternoon was when Li Zhao went to the mountain to rescue a trapped panda and almost lost his life. The fluffy alien accompanied Li Zhao to save the panda while saying, “You are so ugly and only have a few hairs. A panda won’t even look at you.”

“Still, your courage is commendable.”

Although the crew had a big investment and no shortage of funds, it couldn’t invite the national treasure to be an actor. Therefore, the crew used a panda doll, a dog doll dyed black and white, and a green screen to create the scene.

Facts proved that there was nothing that couldn’t be done with money. The alien hairball was also a post-production thing so Li Zhao had no physical opponent from beginning to end.
