Chapter 1164: Under the Sun
In the morning, the sun rises as usual, shining brightly on all things.
In the room, mobile phones and tablets lit up their screens one after another, and began to play today's good morning song.
"In the morning, the sun was shining...... The Jade Emperor has a purpose, and the Wenqu Xingjun ...... Drift to the North...... γδΈ»δΊΊγγΎ,θ΅·γγ¦γγ γγ......"
A slender arm stretched out from the quilt, fumbling and grabbing the mobile phone of Wu Gao Ge and pressing it indiscriminately.
Miss Yiqiu left the stage with the gong and drum class, the milk and coffee group was still singing on the tablet next to her, and the treble competition between the water boy and the island maid did not stop.
The three alarm clocks continued to bombard, and the girl in bed finally came to her senses. Snatching the phone in front of her face and squinting to see the time, Shen Xueni Huo Ran sat up and patted her companion sideways, "King Dawang, get up quickly!"
Zhang Xuyao was sleeping sweetly on the bed, and when she heard the words, she just whispered a few words, and she didn't mean to wake up at all.
In the past 20 hours, the two girls have been busy on the road, taking a long-haul flight of more than ten hours across the Pacific Ocean, just arrived in Los Angeles, California, with the help of Bee Shadow North American staff to rent equipment and clothing, and then non-stop flying through the state and county, overnight rushed to Lincoln, O, to stay overnight, for fear of missing the 9 a.m. solar eclipse the next day.
Because it is the starting point of this super solar eclipse, this small seaside town is crowded with countless tourists from afar, and the parking space is extremely tight. If it weren't for the three small hotels here on the rental platform clickhome of Jiajing Holdings, and if it weren't for Zhang Xuyao's request to Tang Jiayi to help her keep a room as early as last month, the two girls would have to spend the night in the car or even sleep on the street like the unlucky ones who arrived late.
Even so, the two girls could not get a second room, not even an extra bed, and in the end they had to sleep in the same bed. Fortunately, after a long trip and running around, they accumulated too much fatigue, and they almost fell asleep as soon as they got out of bed, but nothing happy happened.
Although the environment and facilities of ClickHome's self-operated hotel are very good, the short rest time still can't eliminate all the fatigue, and although Shen Xueni has woken up, her mind is still a little drowsy.
Seeing that the gentle awakening was fruitless, she had to sacrifice more powerful means, grabbing the quilt next to her and pulling it violently into her arms, exposing someone's body wearing only underwear to the air.
Lincoln City, which is also a city on the Pacific coast, has a higher latitude than Vladivostok and Hokkaido, and has a cooler climate with a large temperature difference between day and night. With the help of the cool air in the early morning, the mobile phone alarm that still kept ringing finally made a contribution, Zhang Xuyao on the bed opened his eyes and struggled to sit up.
The girl who was lying in bed was a little angry, and when her eyes were focused, she saw the pair of papayas wrapped in pink cups in front of her, and a fire of jealousy rose.
Taking advantage of his unpreparedness, he stretched out his hands and grabbed the two balls and rubbed them, Zhang Xuyao quickly regained consciousness, turned over and got out of bed and hid in the bathroom. His movements are agile and brisk, not at all like a person in a cast.
Shen Xueni couldn't catch up with her and was annoyed in her heart, and glared angrily at the figure behind the glass door, "Stinky rascal, you wait for me!"
"Wait, wait for you," came a provocative sound from behind the door, followed by the sound of tap water rushing out of the faucet, "Bang Bang Bang ......"
As soon as I got up, I heard the sound of water, and my body would inevitably react, and two red glows quietly floated up my cheeks. glared at someone who was brushing her teeth and washing her face behind the door, Shen Xueni was also hard, walked to the wardrobe and began to undress, planning to clean up briefly and go outside to borrow the bathroom to solve the problem.
Just disarmed, the small door behind him suddenly opened, and someone said with a smile: "Come in, don't suffocate!"
Glaring at the guy fiercely, the round-faced girl grabbed a change of underwear and rushed into the bathroom quickly.
With a smug smile, Zhang Xu Yao Mali took off his clothes and began to change his clothes. Today's protagonist is the sun in the sky after all, she didn't put too much thought into makeup and dressing, she picked out a blue dress to change into, put on a eclipse-themed T-shirt given by the hotel, and then casually painted daily makeup, put on sunscreen, combed a high ponytail and picked out air bangs.
said that she didn't bother to put a lot of effort into it, but it took a lot of time to actually do it, and she was still blowing her head in the hot air, and Shen Xueni had already gone downstairs to help the two of them get breakfast. Although someone can run and jump as usual, the plaster on the calf is not fake, and it is better not to let her move if she can not move.
Breakfast is usually not complicated, and the hotel is even more so, bacon omelette toast, and a latte next to it, which is simple and rough and easy to process, which is very in line with the American breakfast in the eyes of Europeans, that is, the coffee is not authentic enough with milk and milk foam.
After each had breakfast, Shen Xueni cleaned up, stood in the center of the room, and beckoned Zhang Xuyao to help her change clothes.
The latter gestured over her with a white silk undergarment in his hand, but did not help her put it on.
"What are you waiting for, there's no time!" the former couldn't help it, and urged him.
Zhang Xu Yao glanced at her, "You're going to let me help you put it outside?"
The former glared back, "Aren't you all responsible?"
The quilt on the bed next to it has been simply folded aside, and the sheets are covered with green heads, three locks of hair, silk underwear, red embroidered robes, small boots, belly brocade belts, short-horned bows, leather bullet bags, and other pendant ornaments.
According to the plan, she wants to dance "Tengu Tengu, don't run" against the background of the solar eclipse, and these things are the costume props to be used later.
This nursery rhyme is based on the myths and legends of "Tengu Swallowing the Sun" and "Zhang Xian Shooting Tengu", and the protagonist is Zhang Yuanxiao, a child sending fairy "Zhang Xian" who is good at shooting slingshots.
Legend has it that Zhang Yuanxiao, a native of Meishan, was taught marble skills by the four-eyed immortal, fighting the plague of evil and evil spirits, fighting the lonely widow and widow, and being able to disperse the tengu to protect the stars and descend to earth, so that the heirless people in the world can have children, and it is the only male god who sends children in Chinese mythology.
It is said that Su Xun, a writer in the Song Dynasty, had no children after marriage, and later sincerely prayed to Zhang Yuanxiao, a famous immortal in his hometown, so that he was able to give birth to two sons Su Shi and Su Zhe. With the blessing of the fame of "Sumen Sanjinshi", Zhang Yuanxiao soon walked out of Sichuan and Shu and became a well-known child sending immortal, and in some places he was enshrined as "eight immortals above the twenty-four immortals", and even said that he was "the star of Fu Lu Shou three stars".
In ancient times, communication was inconvenient, myths and legends often went out of shape in circulation, and some people said that Lu Xing was actually the Emperor of Later Shu Meng Chang, and the so-called Zhang Xian was just a fake name for Mrs. Hua Rui to deal with Zhao Kuangyin.
In the Qing Dynasty, Zhang Xian's shooting of tengu was still a popular theme in folk New Year paintings, and families with children pasted it next to the chimney to scare off the tengu who drilled into the chimney and protect the healthy growth of children. Later, with the gradual extinction of chimneys and New Year paintings, Zhang Xian was also forgotten, and only in some places there are still remnants of palace views and sporadic customs.
The inspiration for "Tengu Tengu, Don't Run" comes from the Qing Dynasty painted New Year painting of "Zhang Xian Shoots Tengu". In the painting, Zhang Xian wears a brocade robe and a colorful hat, surrounded by children, raising a bow to shoot at the fierce gods and dogs in the sky, the composition is vivid and joyful, and there is no tragic slaughter that should be in battle. Feeling this, the tuning teacher deliberately adjusted the voice of the virtual singer Yiqiu to the children's music area, and cooperated with the drama gongs and drums to create this ancient nursery rhyme that is popular on the Internet.
Although she decided to dance "Tengu" on a temporary basis, Zhang Xuyao still wanted to do her best, and specially brought a large number of costume accessories, including three locks of hair for singing, intending to help Shen Xueni create the most restored look.
Under her urging and persuasion, Shen Xueni took off her T-shirt and jeans, changed into a silk robe and small boots, and wrapped her belly belt. But the fake beard (opera mustache) made of copper wire made of yak hair made her hesitate. Turning his head to look at someone, he asked weakly, "King, forget about this, right?"
"No!" Zhang Xuyao decisively refused, "How can you give up halfway by doing a full set of plays?"
The objection was invalid, so Shen Xueni had to lower her head and ask Director Zhang to help her put on a fake beard.
After all of it was done, the time had already reached 8:40, Zhang Xuyao checked it roughly, and snapped his fingers with satisfaction: "Okay, let's gogogo!"
The best place to enjoy the photo shoot is actually the scenic country park. However, they arrived too late, and the nearby forest park and RV camp were already occupied, and the road outside the city was full of cars, but they couldn't get into it.
Besides, even if there was a place, their family and friends would not allow the two girls to run into the wild where the security force was weak.
Fortunately, clickhome has laid out astronomical tourism themes such as "solar eclipse tour" and "stargazing tour" in advance, and deliberately selected suitable properties to rebuild hotels and B&Bs along the route of this total solar eclipse.
Coming to the roof that has been converted into a leisure platform, the two of them are not surprised to see many tenants who are in a hurry to arrive early.
These people are lying on the fence, looking at the people downstairs, and the people are already cheering on themselves before the eclipse comes. The most bizarre are those who believe in eschatology, holding signs with "The Catastrophe is coming" and Bible excerpts, like prophets who see through the world.
Seeing Shen Xueni in a costume, the tenants turned their heads one after another, and saw her pretty face crimson.
Calmly pushing aside passers-by, Zhang Xuyao pulled her to the specially separated filming location of the hotel, with three camera tracks on the ground, a total of more than 7 cameras, and a lot of auxiliary equipment that could not be named, and the staff wearing uniform T-shirts were busy with more than ten fingers.
Because she didn't wear glasses, Shen Xueni squinted at Zhang Xuyao, "What's going on? It's too formal, isn't it?"
"You think too much," the latter shook his hand calmly, "Most of those machines are used to make documentaries, and they have nothing to do with us, so just dance yours later." β
The Moon revolves around the Earth, the Earth revolves around the Sun, and a solar eclipse occurs once the projections of two stars on Earth meet. Because of the projection property, the Earth rotates once and there will be at least two eclipses. But for the same place, if you want to encounter a total solar eclipse again, you will have to wait three or four hundred years.
In other words, as long as it is past today, these "eclipse hotels" invested by clickhome will lose their maximum value. In order to ensure maximum profits, they needed to find a way to extend the heat of the eclipse event to mine the residual value, and then they thought of making a documentary together with a live webcast.
"Oh, I see," Shen Xueni looked up at the usual sun, then at Zhang Xuyao, and proposed: "Well, since people are going to shoot documentaries here, and I haven't practiced my dance steps yet, let's stop filming today, right?"
"Not good!" Zhang Xuyao decisively refused, "The light changes greatly during the solar eclipse, and the later synthesis will look very fake." β
"Okay," Shen Xueni was not good at refusing people after all, and seeing that the other party's tone was tough and reasonable, she had to respond in a muffled voice, "I'll try to dance as well as possible." β
"It's okay to jump casually," Director Zhang waved his hand and took out his laptop from his bag, "I have prepared a prompter for you, and I will use this to play an instructional video for you at that time." β
Looking at the BBQ computer, the butterfly screen is not afraid of the sun, but Shen Xueni still pointed to her eyes speechlessly, "Without glasses, I can't see clearly when it's far away." β
Zhang Xuyao was also a little discouraged, "Why don't you wear glasses?"
This time, it was Shen Kitten's turn to be unhappy, "I still have to hang a beard, just jump like this, let's do our best." β
"Yes!" Zhang Xuyao nodded and stuffed the notebook into the other party's hand, "You take a look first, and then you should sharpen the gun." I went to them to borrow the jad membrane. β
Bard film usually refers to the Astrosolar light reduction film produced by Baader Plaarium, which has a much lower light transmittance than sunglasses, which can better protect the eyes, and is a must-have eye protection device for eclipse lovers.
As for digital photography equipment, although it will not be burned by strong sunlight, strong sunlight during the initial loss, eclipse, light, and recircle stages will cause the image to be overexposed, so it is necessary to install Bard's ND series dimming filter in front of the lens, wait until the sun is completely blocked by the moon, and the sky darkens during the eclipse period, and quickly remove it to capture the Bailey beads and diamond rings, and then put the filter back on until it enters the light generation stage.
Zhang Xuyao prepared two cameras, one of which was aimed at Shen Kitten to shoot a close-up, and the other was adjusted in advance to wait for the sun to be captured, but a dimming filter was needed to prevent overexposure.
In addition, she and Shen Xueni also need eclipse glasses made of light-reducing film. Because of the super solar eclipse, this thing has been selling like crazy recently, and the top 20 best-selling lists of Meiya cameras and photographic equipment categories are all them, and most of the top 100 are also. However, as the so-called hot and violent death, Amazon soon removed most of the eclipse glasses from the shelves, requiring manufacturers to provide ISO, CE, and NASA safety certifications.
As early as in China, Zhang Xuyao prepared eclipse glasses, which were cheap and sold by many sellers, so she bought five pairs in one go for insurance purposes. When I got my hands on it, it was an unsafe product that lacked certification, so I didn't dare to use it, so I had to ask others for help. 2k reading web
