Chapter 345: The Parrot Goes Wild



Shi Xi began to sing again!

Unexpectedly, while she was singing, the macaw that had flown away brought back a flock of parrots!

It seemed it had gone to call for friends.

A large flock of parrots landed on nearby handrails and tree branches with a rustling sound, stretching their necks out, and looking like they were ready to watch a show.

"Hello!"

"Hello pretty lady! What's your name?"

"Sing, dance!"

The parrots were talking over each other incessantly, causing the scene to turn into complete chaos.

"Cut! Cut!"

Director Xu, left with no choice, shouted to stop once again.

These parrots were too good at causing trouble!

It wasn't the parrots' turn yet. The part of the footage requiring the parrots was a dance sequence in the middle where the Sparkling Girls would sing and dance non-stop in the middle of a forest stage, surrounded by parrots swirling around them, creating a stunning effect of a dance between humans and birds.

Just the thought of it was incredibly picturesque and romantic!

Now, with Shi Xi dancing there, and the parrots chattering away on the side, it felt like a crosstalk show at the De Yun Club rather than a beautiful and romantic forest stage.

Director Xu asked the animal keeper, "Can you take the parrots away?"

The animal keeper confidently said, "Our parrots are trained. They'll fly over as soon as I blow the whistle!"

He took out a walkie-talkie: "Hello... The parrots have flown over here and are disrupting the shoot. Please blow the whistle on your end to lure them away."

"Roger that, roger that."

"Dudu..."

Sweet whistle sounds soon echoed from a distance in the aviary.

But the parrots stayed put!

A few parrots instinctively flapped their wings and took off, but when they saw the main group didn't follow, they landed again.

The leaders of the parrots were a few named Jinzhi!

Seeing the music video shoot and people singing and dancing, they were very intrigued, and even felt like trying to dance themselves.

In the aviary, there was no shortage of food, and normally they'd cooperate with the whistle for some extra nutty snacks, but right now the allure of music and dance was obviously stronger.

Seeing Director Xu looking at him, the animal keeper felt somewhat embarrassed since he had just boasted about the parrots' well-trained behavior.

This time he was at a loss and took out the walkie-talkie again: "Team leader... We've run into some trouble here..."

He Yifei, as the team leader of the aviary, also had a lot of things to attend to and couldn't always stay with the film crew, so after stopping by at the start to watch the excitement, he had left an animal keeper to follow along.

Hearing the plea for help, he said, "I'll come over and take a look! Let's see if we can persuade them to leave."

The shooting temporarily paused, and Yang Xiaochao and a few of the girls ran excitedly to Shi Xi's side, starting to interact enthusiastically with the parrots.

"Hi!"

"Hello pretty lady!"

Yang Xiaochao exclaimed with delight, "These parrots are so smart! And they're pretty too."

She reached out to touch a parrot, but Ran Qingqing quickly intervened, "Hey, don't touch, we have an agreement with the zoo."

Members of the film crew were not allowed to touch the birds. Should there be any issues, everything must be coordinated through the animal keeper. This was for the safety of both humans and birds.

If a person teases or tries to drive away the birds and they get angry, a peck or a scratch from their claws on a young and beautiful idol's face could be a complete disaster if it left a scar.

"Oh."

Reminded like this, Yang Xiaochao felt a bit disappointed, but his eyes quickly lit up, seemingly struck by an idea, "Hey, you can learn to speak, how about I teach you a phrase?"

"Hello, everyone, I am Yang Xiaochao of Sparkling Girls 404, the prettiest girl in our village, and my hobby is eating three big bowls in one go~"

While speaking, he also made a heart-shaped gesture with his hands, giggling.

Jinzhi mimicked, "Hello, everyone, I am..."

The macaw knew the first few words, but couldn't say the rest.

Shi Xi laughed, "Can it really learn such a complex sentence? Teach it something simpler."

Yang Xiaochao was full of enthusiasm, "Anyway, we'll be shooting here for half a month, so let's aim to teach the parrots before we leave!"

Ran Qingqing found it amusing, "If they learn it, wouldn't that mean the parrots would be promoting you whenever they shout the slogan here?"

A few minutes later, He Yifei arrived!

He tried blowing a whistle, and a few macaws flew over to him to ask for treats.

He Yifei knew that Jinzhi and a few other macaws were the leaders and also very smart. He tried asking them, "What's up with you? Staying here to watch the girls dance?"

Jin Martin: "Music!"

Jingwen: "Singing!"

Jingwu: "Dancing!"

You say one thing; I say another, all looking at He Yifei expectantly.

"You want to listen to music, dance?"

Several macaws nodded excitedly right away!

He Yifei revealed an expression of sudden realization and came back to tell Director Xu, "These parrots, we used to play them some music for enrichment, but after moving to the aviary, the environment was filled with a variety of natural sounds, so we stopped playing music. They might miss it hearing the music, right? That's why they're loitering here and won't leave."

Old Xu stroked his bald head, somewhat at a loss for words, "These parrots have quite the life, eh? So, any ideas on how to persuade them to leave?"

He Yifei already had an idea, "That's simple, let them enjoy the music to their heart's content, and they won't bother you anymore."

Director Xu was skeptical but said, "Let's try it then."

He told the staff, "Turn on the music."

As the music started, Jin Martin was the first to get hyped!

Swinging his body to the rhythm of the music, bobbing back and forth, he tapped his feet on the railing, beating the rhythm with his claws. His red and green feathers flapped with every beat, and then he even did a mid-air spin.

The rhythm was spot-on, just like a DJ at a nightclub!

Following Jin Martin's lead, the other parrots began to shake their bodies. A large group of parrots—on the fence, in the treetops, on the speakers—were all swaying with the beat, leaving everyone watching dumbfounded!

"Wow, parrots even understand music? The rhythm of their wing-flapping matches the beat of the music!"

"Damn, these parrots are enlightened!"

"This parrot is killing it! Especially that one, bobbing its head; it must have hung out at nightclubs!"

Seeing this, Shi Xi couldn't help but to throw up her sleeves and dance along with the parrots!

The other Sparkling Girls got into the spirit too, starting to dance along; Yang Xiaochao clapped his hands, Ran Qingqing kicked her legs, and they all laughed heartily. For a while, the scene was extremely lively and cheerful.

There were no pre-designed moves; just dance with abandon, just party! And partying was all that mattered.

Director Xu was initially staring in amazement but then instructed the cameraman, "Get that on film, get that on film!"

This scene, though chaotic, can't be used in the official music video, but it's perfect for behind-the-scenes footage to be used for promotion!

Such bloopers are really fun.
