I have a wildlife zoo

Chapter 354: Behind-the-Scenes Buzz



Clicking the link, I arrived at Weibo.

Sparkling Girls News Station: Behind-the-scenes of "Rainbow Raiment Dance" revealed! Was it Ran Qingqing's recommendation that ultimately found the perfect filming location? Shi Xi's singing repeatedly interrupted by parrots, forcing the director to let the parrots have a joyful sing first! How stunning is the feeling of being surrounded by a flock of parrots?

Zhuang Ting was amazed, this is the official account, is it really true? Your next journey awaits at My Virtual Library Empire

Director Xu is indeed thoughtful!

The behind-the-scenes footage started by explaining that Director Xu wasn't very satisfied with the scenery of the locations they had previously scouted. Thanks to Ran Qingqing's recommendation, they came to her hometown's Linhai Zoo.

As they entered the aviary, accompanying staff members took out their phones to film, capturing everyone's shock and delight as they looked around upon entering.

"Linhai Zoo?"

When Zhuang Ting saw the beautiful setting of the aviary, especially when the giant tetrameles nudiflora appeared, she also felt an impact and memorized the name in her heart.

With such a beautiful environment, if I ever want to go on a trip, I should visit!

I saw Shi Xi singing along with the music when suddenly a beautiful macaw flew over.

Suddenly it said, "Hello!"

Shi Xi appeared a bit astonished and instinctively greeted back, "Hello..."

After speaking, he quickly realized it was a mistake and began apologizing to the director.

Shi Xi's voiceover: "At that moment, my attention was actually a bit captivated by it. After all, such a beautiful and big parrot flying right in front of you, you can't possibly not notice it, right? And then it suddenly greeted me, my brain just couldn't keep up."

Zhuang Ting burst into laughter seeing this scene!

It's just too funny.

Then a new clip came up: Shi Xi started singing again, this time "whoosh!" a bunch of parrots flew over.

Shi Xi: "They were chattering by my side, and I was so startled at the moment, I didn't expect the parrot to fly back and bring its friends."

Director Xu: "These parrots are all trained, but the animal keeper initially failed to direct them to fly away. Then we communicated with their leader, who mentioned the parrots might just want to listen to the song, and if they're satisfied, they wouldn't interrupt anymore, so I thought, let's give it a try."

Then, I saw a group of parrots of various colors and types nodding their heads and swaying to the rhythm of the music, some even flapping their wings!

A few young girls, alongside the parrots, happily danced, creating a lively and joyful atmosphere!

Yang Xiaochao: "At first it was the parrots dancing to the music, then we all joined in, dancing with great joy."

Shi Xi: "I used to think parrots were smart just because they could mimic speech, but the parrots here have completely changed my impression."

Zhuang Ting watched with her mouth agape: "Wow! Awesome!"

In the end, I saw Fang Ye directing the parrots to form a circle around the girls, leaving me absolutely stunned.

"So the parrots were being directed by someone, that's incredible!"

Ran Qingqing: "I even doubt if I am dreaming!"

Yang Xiaochao: "I even pinched Sister Qingqing to make sure."

Underneath the behind-the-scenes, the comments section was abuzz!

"So it was really shot on location! I even saw someone bet that if it wasn't for the special effects they would eat shit."

"Hahaha, who could have thought of this!"

"Why is the parrot I have at home so dumb, let alone being this obedient, it's already good if it doesn't cause trouble. But it also enjoys nodding its head to music! Maybe all parrots have a talent for music?"

"The Zoo Director has the title of Archdruid! Directing a few parrots is no small feat for him."

"I kind of remember this Linhai Zoo, isn't it the one from the trending topic about the milk tea wild boar they caught?"

"Seriously! @Linhai Zoo"

"I strongly recommend everyone to go check it out, several shooting locations in the bamboo forest are all scenery from their zoo! The other exhibition areas in the zoo are also very beautiful."

"Really? I thought they were shot separately."

"I'm already tempted! Planning to visit Linhai Zoo during the holiday."

"Jealous!"

Linhai Zoo's official Weibo was summoned: "The girls from Sparkling Girls dance so well! We also welcome everyone to come and visit our zoo!"

Last time, after the milk tea wild boar incident, Weibo gained tens of thousands of followers, but the vast majority were zombie followers, the kind that follow and then forget about it.

Now, Weibo has a dedicated person managing it, usually posting photos of animals and doing some science popularization and such.

The post with cute animal photos gets slightly more likes and shares, maybe dozens or hundreds, but those with science facts over 100 words get likes in the single digits, very realistic.

Some netizens noticed: "Such a pitiful official account, let's give it a boost."

Soon, the topic #NewSongMVbySparklingGirls surged up the Weibo hot search.

After all, the sight of macaws flying in formation alongside the dancing girls, orderly and stunning, and not special effects, was simply too astonishing!

...

After the MV was released, Fang Ye also went to check it out and it was indeed beautifully shot.

Now, scrolling through the comments praising the zoo, he felt quite pleased: "This should boost the popularity value quite a bit, right?"

Director Xu called, his tone excited, "Zoo Director Fang, the MV is a hit! It's receiving rave reviews!"

"Yeah, I saw! Thanks to your publicity, our zoo has also caught a bit of fire. I expect we will see an increase in visitors soon."

"Not at all, it's us who are benefiting from your zoo. Half the comments are praising the scenery and animals of your zoo. Without your animals being so clever and cooperative, we wouldn't have been able to shoot such a great MV!"

The two of them complimented each other!

After hanging up the phone, not long after, it rang again, this time from an unfamiliar number.

Fang Ye answered with some doubt: "Hello?"

On the other end was a crisp female voice who straight away introduced herself, "Zoo Director Fang, hello, I am the operator of the game 'Shining Sunny Sky' from Penguin Games, and I would like to discuss a business cooperation with you!"

Fang Ye was a bit puzzled: "Hello, what kind of cooperation are you referring to?"

He was aware of "Shining Sunny Sky"! It was the game promoted by the new song MV for Sparkling Girls.

But hadn't the MV already been filmed?

"Here's the thing, the MV for 'Rainbow Raiment Dance' has had a great response, and the players all say they love the scenery of your zoo. I'm thinking, could we set up a joint offline event...?"

The general idea was for players to dress up in ancient costumes, take photos, dance, and submit their entries!

The usual rewards included QQ Coins, classic fashion gift packages, and cash for the top few, along with Sparkling Girls' signed photos and such.

By checking in at Linhai Zoo for the event, participants could receive limited-edition attire.

The first round of the event's card pool wouldn't feature the outfit worn by Sparkling Girls, to let the players get familiar with the game. In about half a month, for the second round, they'd launch a corresponding card pool.

To coincide with the offline event, they planned to create some noise for promotion.

The idea was to turn Linhai Zoo into a special venue, enhance the event's rewards, and encourage more player participation.

After some thought, Fang Ye agreed: "Alright then!"

If it would bring in more visitors and earn some cash from Penguin, after all, it was a win-win.
