Creators will always bring endless surprises.
The writer-director had just heard one suggestion from Little Taotie and his imagination ran wild, conjuring up scene after scene in his mind.
He already had a not-so-mature idea!
He had to go back and perfect this idea imdiately!
Excited, he picked up Little Taotie and lifted him high, "Zaizai, if this works out, you’ll be my little lucky star!"
...
The audience waiting in front of the TV screens was extrely excited, as a variety show would be broadcast on the satellite channel today.
The promotional poster and trailer were explosive!
Even international viewers who had seen the poster travelled thousands of miles to Hua Country, sitting in front of their TVs waiting for the premiere.
On the promotional poster, Little Taotie was dressed in a fluffy outfit, with sensor ears and little horns on his small head, standing beside the handso boy-next-door Ji Guang in a tuxedo, who also wore sensor ears—in the shape of wolf ears—with his large tail peeking out from behind.
A cute female, taking this opportunity, announced her new stage na—Ling Long.
Ling Long, petite and delicate, was dressed in ancient costu in a Flowing Light Skirt, holding a flute, tilting her head, with a colorful parrot perched on her shoulder.
The middle-aged male artist’s stage na also appeared on the promotional poster; he was soone who acted in all kinds of dramas, taking on roles like elder brother, master, father, etc. The audience recognized his characters in the dramas but could never rember his stage na.
Thanks to this promotional poster, everyone finally rembered his na—Wang Yilun!
Wang Yilun’s look on the poster featured him in tattered ancient costu full of patches, holding a Wine Gourd, with his hair exploded up. He wasn’t ugly; in fact, he had a coolness reminiscent of Brother Sharp.
On the poster, Little Taotie was in the central C position, with Ji Guang standing to her left, Ling Long to her right, and Wang Yilun squatting on the ground playing with a dog. The black dog looked slightly fierce and was at the bottom, blocking Ji Guang’s legs.
Red Hair, Yellow Hair, Blue Hair, and Purple Hair from the Rock Band stood in the background with various musical instrunts, dressed in bizarre costus, wearing ears, looking like demons that had transford into human forms.
Boldly featured at the top of the poster was the na of the show—[Ti-Space Monster Managent Bureau]
When the official first released this poster, people thought it was for a movie. It was only after watching the trailer that they realized it was a variety show!
The content of the trailer was roughly as follows: Eight key mbers of the Demon Managent Bureau, with the ability to travel through ti and space, capturing "demons" who break the rules in history without changing historical events.
The reason why it was a variety show was that the ti-spaces that the eight mbers of the Demon Managent Bureau travel to would mostly be TV dramas and movies that were about to be released.
Without revealing too much about the TV dramas and movies, they extract a segnt.
The program would invite the female and male protagonists and actors from each role in this segnt, and after adaptation, they would join Little Taotie and create small stories, serving as a promotion for the new dramas.
This ti, the writer-director was smarter and didn’t choose thes unilaterally but chose to help promote big docuntary films and movies directed by major directors, sneakily adding "flavor" on condition of helping them with promotion.
The big directors also turned a blind eye, as it was a win-win situation, so why not do it.
Since the TV dramas and movies had been approved for release, the writer-director found it easy to get these thes approved this ti.
With a sly smile, the writer-director mused, "Is this what they call enjoying the shade under a big tree?"
At nine o’clock in the evening, the clock struck, and along with Little Taotie’s baby voice, "I’m a happy Little Taotie! Awooo~ Aww aww aww~~~ No Little Demon is my match! I’m best at punishing the wicked and promoting the good~~~ Aww aww aww~~~ If you don’t listen, I’ll gobble you up, gobble you up, gobble you up~~~" the show began.
The infectious music was heavy tal rock, composed by the Rock Band.
"Gobble up, gobble up, gobble up..." the chorus was sung by: Ling Long, Ji Guang, Wang Yilun.
In the footage, Little Taotie held a big chicken leg, singing loudly while strutting in an oblivious manner, swaggering about.
Red Hair, Yellow Hair, Purple Hair, Blue Hair followed behind her, playing their respective instrunts with gusto.
Ling Long, blushing with embarrassnt, sang loudly: "Gobble up, gobble up, gobble up..."
Ji Guang maintained his reliable sunny charm, smiling gently: "Gobble up, gobble up, gobble up..."
Wang Yilun, tone-deaf as he was, stood out even in the backup vocals: "Gobble up~ Ah gobble up~~ Gobble up~~~"
Little Taotie threw the chicken leg bone, hitting Wang Yilun’s head precisely.
The little girl put her hands on her hips and huffed, "You’re off key again! You’re not allowed to sing anymore, or else I’ll gobble you up, gobble you up, gobble you up~~~" the lody matched up, and the accompanint followed: "Gobble up, gobble up, gobble up..."
The music continued, and Little Taotie kept singing, leading the way, clearly the leader of this group!
The opening song, a collaboration of the eight mbers, was hypnotically catchy, leaving the audience in high spirits, laughing heartily, and looking forward to what ca next.
