In the office of the Xihong Zoo, Yang Lin, after many days, summoned the two men, Niu and Ma, together again.
As soon as they saw Yang Lin, excitement appeared on both their faces.
Ma Chaoqun even took out a thick stack of materials and boasted, "Old Yang, we have revised the script for Zootopia again according to your requirements."
"You will absolutely not guess the ending this time."
Hearing Ma Chaoqun's words, Yang Lin couldn't help but show curiosity.
"Oh? Is there any difference from the previous ending?"
"Of course, this time we changed the final villain from the lion mayor to the sheep secretary. A harmless sheep has become the final big villain. Just thinking about it is exciting."
Listening to Ma Chaoqun's narration, Yang Lin immediately picked up the script and started reading.
As he read, a look of satisfaction appeared on his face, but he still felt something was not quite right.
"Sheep secretary? You're not subtly mocking me, are you?"
As he spoke, Yang Lin cast a suspicious glance at Ma Chaoqun.
Ma Chaoqun, however, seemed to have been inspired.
"Yes, why didn't I think of that? Old Yang, I've decided, I'll leave the voice acting for this sheep secretary to you."
"What?"
Before Yang Lin could react, Ma Chaoqun spoke again.
"Old Yang, you promised to cooperate with our filming before."
Hearing this, Yang Lin could only nod helplessly, even though he was unwilling a thousand times over.
"By the way, we have the plot and the filming locations. Now let's discuss the animal actors."
As he spoke, Ma Chaoqun took out a list of characters.
"First is our heroine, Officer Judy the rabbit. Old Yang, who do you think should play her?"
"Officer rabbit? Do I even need to say? Of course, it's our Chinese White Rabbit." Yang Lin answered without thinking.
"Good looking, elegant demeanor, delicious taste, suitable for making cold rabbit and spicy rabbit heads. The rabbit next to Chang'e is the Chinese White Rabbit, also known as the Moon Rabbit. It's the favorite of the Bashu people, with an annual consumption of over 3 billion. Its status is comparable to that of the panda."
Saying this, Yang Lin opened his phone and quickly found a picture.
After seeing the picture, both Niu and Ma suddenly understood.
"Wow, it's that one! By the way, why doesn't your zoo keep this one?"
"That's right, Xihong Zoo doesn't seem to have any rabbits."
The two of them simultaneously cast curious glances at Yang Lin.
Regarding their question, Yang Lin showed a look of lingering fear.
"Don't mention it, let alone Xihong Zoo daring to keep them, no zoo would dare."
"The Chinese White Rabbit matures in 3 months, has 5-6 litters a year, and can have up to 10 kits per litter. When I was young, I secretly kept two, and within a year, they multiplied to hundreds. The entire zoo was riddled with holes, more terrifying than pangolins."
After hearing Yang Lin's explanation, Niu and Ma finally realized that the seemingly cute little white rabbit actually had such terrifying capabilities.
But at the same time, they thought of a problem.
"If you don't have them here, do we have to change the female lead?"
To this question, Yang Lin gave them a side-eye.
"Take 5 bus stops, and there's a wet market where you can pick and choose."
"Uh..."
After a period of silence, the issue of the female lead was set aside.
"This time the male lead is a fox. Do you have any good recommendations?"
"If it's a fox, Xihong Zoo has quite a few. There are silver foxes, red foxes, and Tibetan foxes that just arrived from Diannan Zoo."
As he spoke, Yang Lin found pictures of these three types of foxes respectively.
Undoubtedly, the most handsome was the silver fox, with its snow-white fur, looking incredibly noble.
The red fox looked a bit less impressive, but was clearly more cunning.
However, Niu and Ma at this moment didn't even look at the red fox or the silver fox, their eyes were fixed on the Tibetan fox.
"Old Yang, how about we choose it as the male lead? It looks like a good fox."
"Yes, according to my setting, the male lead is a fox who is outwardly cunning but inwardly kind. But after seeing this Tibetan fox, I think we should make the character more layered."
"At the same time, it can create some contrast with the female lead."
"By the way, Old Yang, aren't you good friends with Teacher Xiao Liang? How about letting him voice the male lead? You two even have scenes together."
Listening to their somewhat excited voices, Yang Lin felt both amused and helpless.
However, if they really found Teacher Xiao Liang to make a cameo as they said, the effect would definitely be explosive.
But how could he possibly open his mouth to Teacher Xiao Liang about this?
He couldn't just tell Teacher Xiao Liang to voice a Tibetan fox.
"Forget it, let's ask Teacher Xiao Liang if he has time first."
Thinking of this, Yang Lin immediately took out his phone from his pocket and dialed Teacher Xiao Liang's number.
Soon, the call was connected, and Teacher Xiao Liang's voice came from the other end.
"Hello, Director Yang, why did you suddenly call me? I was just about to ask you for two tickets to Zootopia."
"It's really hard to get a ticket there now."
Hearing Teacher Xiao Liang's words, Yang Lin, who didn't know how to start, instantly had an idea.
"That's perfect. I happen to have something I need your help with. After you help me with this, I'll not only give you two tickets to Zootopia, but also let you experience the zoo's landscape rooms for free. You can choose any room."
As soon as Yang Lin finished speaking, Teacher Xiao Liang on the other end became interested.
"You said it yourself, it's a deal."
"What do you need help with? Say it quickly."
Receiving this reply, Yang Lin immediately stated his idea.
"It's like this, we've been filming an animal blockbuster recently, and we'd like to invite you to voice the male lead in the movie."
"What kind of animal is the male lead? It's a fox, right? It has a lot of scenes."
"Alright, I'll send you the script and your part of the lines later."
"You promised, you can't go back on your word."
......
After the call ended, Yang Lin breathed a long sigh of relief.
With the casting of the male and female leads complete, the remaining characters were relatively simpler.
Whether it was the lion mayor, the sheep secretary, or Chief Bu the buffalo, or Officer Jaguar, corresponding animals could be found in Xihong Zoo.
Even the supporting character, Flash the three-toed sloth, Xihong Zoo happened to have one.
Seeing that most of the roles had been cast, Yang Lin did not stop there.
Because he had one more idea in mind.
Since it was promised to be an all-star cast, naturally every animal in Xihong Zoo should appear on screen.
Thinking of this, he immediately walked towards the park again.
