Rhapsody of Entertainment Rebirth

What does it feel like to face an adult tiger up close?

Even through the iron railings, you can feel the intimidation. Every tiger carries a natural evil spirit. Even if it has never set foot in the wilderness, it is still the king of beasts!

Shanhe finally realized the meaning of the idiom "tiger stares covetously". Every time he casually looks at a tiger, it is enough to send a chill down his spine.

After studying the Liger Mountain Staff Manual for three full days, and after Xu Yanmei's assessment, Shanhe was able to officially enter the position of supernumerary breeder at Liger Mountain.

After a busy day with Xu Yanmei, I learned about the daily work of a zoo keeper, a real "shit shovel officer".

Arrive at work at 7:30 in the morning, put on work clothes and waterproof rubber shoes, and start cleaning the tiger cage.

After gathering the tigers into the isolation area, Shan He and Xu Yanmei began to flush the cage. The cage was not dirty, but the smell was very strong.

Adult tigers eat between seven and nine kilograms every day, and naturally some eat a lot.

"It's better to spend more time and ensure safety!" Xu Yanmei said to Shanhe while washing the cage.

"In the past, cleaning the cages was the most accident-prone job. Now with monitoring, the risk is much less, but you still have to strictly follow the work manual!"

After Shanhe and Xu Yanmei got along for a few days, the two became familiar with each other, and the conversation became much smoother.

"Sister Xu, I checked the information and found that when tigers see people in the wild, their first reaction is to avoid them. I see that there are often reports of breeders being bitten by wild beasts across the country. It stands to reason that tigers raised in captivity are more docile, right?"

Xu Yanmei kept her hands and feet and carefully washed every corner with a water pipe. "Tiger is a suspicious animal by nature. It will observe strange things for a long time. In the wild, most people cannot see a tiger. When you see it, it is estimated that it has already observed it." You've been waiting for a long time. Humans are not on the tiger's diet. The chance of a tiger actively attacking a human in the wild is extremely small. Once attacked, the person's chance of survival is almost zero!

The habits of captive-bred tigers are not much different from those of wild tigers, but they have been in contact with humans since childhood and are very familiar with humans. Because of feeding, many tigers treat humans and food in the same category, so tiger breeders are in danger It's very sensitive. If you are careless, an accident will happen and you won't even have time to react! "

It turns out that in the eyes of most tigers in the zoo, there is not much difference between keepers and food. No wonder the tiger was so cold when he looked at him just now!

Shanhe turned around and looked at the tigers in the isolation area who were staring at the two of them. I'm going to go, they're waiting for dinner!

Shanhe couldn't help but took two steps closer to Xu Yanmei, "Sister Xu, I saw a lot of videos on the Internet. Many breeders in foreign countries are very close to tigers!"

Xu Yanmei raised her head and looked at Shanhe, and replied with a smile: "Those are extremely special circumstances. Generally, tigers raised by breeders will be so docile to the breeders, and only occasionally. The intimacy of tigers is not human. If you can accept it, it often attacks you to express intimacy, but the next moment you will be injured or even killed!"

Shanhe helped Xu Yanmei drag the water pipe and asked casually: "Sister Xu, have you ever raised a little tiger?"

"Of course! Three of the tigers next door were raised by me. The gentlest one is Ruyi. She is a female tiger, and her mother was a new mother. She was abandoned as soon as she was born!"

Xu Yanmei straightened up and pointed at an adult tiger walking around in the quarantine area and replied,

"After the tiger cubs become adults, in principle, keepers are not allowed to have unobstructed contact with the tigers. In special circumstances, only with adequate protection measures can keepers enter the cages to coexist with the beasts. If the keepers take the initiative to ask to enter, For cages, the zoo will sign a disclaimer with the keeper first!”

Shan He followed Xu Yanmei's finger and saw that several tigers looked exactly the same in Shan He's eyes, only differing in size.

…

After cleaning the cage, the two began to disinfect the entire cage. When the disinfectant powder came into contact with water, it emitted a strong smell that choked Shanhe and made him unable to open his eyes.

Cleaning the glass is the last step. Xu Yanmei said frankly: "This is convenient for tourists to visit and take photos."

It took the two of them nearly an hour to clean the four cages. After putting the tigers back into the cages, they began to prepare food for the tigers.

At nine o'clock in the morning, the two people pushed the trolley towards the animal feed warehouse 500 meters away. What I received that day was mainly chicken and pork, totaling more than 100 kilograms.

Passing by the cage, a tiger was already waiting impatiently. The tiger's eyes were wide open, its big head was shaking, its claws were scratching the barbed wire back and forth, and it was letting out a dull roar. Its greedy mouth was dripping from its bloody mouth, which made Shanhe retreat in fear. He took two steps and broke into a cold sweat.

"This is Ruyi, don't worry, Ruyi, dinner will be ready in a moment!" Xu Yanmei introduced Shanhe.

Go ahead, this is the gentlest tiger!

Feeding is not easy either. Feeding is done once a day between 9:30 and 10:30. When the animals are in estrus or during lactation, additional meals are required. They are usually separated during feeding, otherwise they will fight with each other and compete for each other. Fewer ones will suffer from malnutrition.

Currently, a female tiger has just been bred. In order to increase her nutrition, in addition to two chickens, she is also fed two large pieces of pork.

When feeding in the viewing area, the keepers will climb to the second floor and drop food from a square feeding port.

Shanhe noticed that most of the places above were covered with black sunshade nets and there were faucets. When the weather was hot, there would be nozzles to sprinkle water.

Xu Yanmei told Shanhe that when throwing meat, people should stay at least one meter away from the cage, and throw the food accurately. Do not cross the iron safety line in front, otherwise there will be danger. Once caught by the claws of a tiger that is eating, the consequences will be disastrous. .

After a busy morning, the two returned to the lounge.

There is only a wall between the lounge and the tourist area. There are several simple beds, desks and chairs, several monitors on each table, and more than a dozen sets of video surveillance.

Sitting in the lounge, you can observe every move of the tigers.

"How was it? How did you feel on the first day?"

After Xu Yanmei completed her morning feeding work, she relaxed and asked Shanhe.

"It's a bit scary!" Shanhe replied with a smile, "This tiger feels much more ferocious than what it looks like outside!"

"Contacting wild beasts at close range is really scary at first, but gradually you get used to it. The most important thing is to pay attention to safety. I have worked in Liger Mountain for almost 20 years. I work carefully every day and operate in strict accordance with regulations and systems. In this way Only in this way can we ensure safety and no problems.”

Shanhe nodded in agreement with Xu Yanmei's explanation. After a morning of close contact with tigers, he fully understood the dangers of this job, and he could never be too careful!

As noon approached, the keepers of Liger Mountain all returned to the lounge one by one. The big celebrity Shanhe naturally attracted everyone's attention and curiosity.

However, the staff at Liger Mountain are mainly middle-aged and have a stable temperament, and no one does anything to watch the signatures.

Shanhe first said hello to everyone, "Hello, masters, I am Qiu Shanhe. I will stay in Shihu Mountain for a while. Please take care of me in the future!"

Shan He spoke first, and everyone spoke.

"Great writers come to our Liger Mountain to experience life, so they must be taken care of!"

"This is the first time we have met such a big celebrity. You are so polite. If you have any questions, please speak to me!"

"Shanhe, my son likes you very much. When you have time, you can sign your name and take a photo with me!"

…

Shanhe took out the small gifts he had prepared, including his own signed books, "Bottom Hot Girl" trinkets, etc. and distributed them to everyone.

"This is my opinion. I will annoy everyone from now on as a novice!"

"Oh! There's no need for this. The director has already had a meeting with us, and it's all within his scope!"

"Hey! You're welcome. My kid will be happy to see this!"

"Shanhe, you are so polite. No wonder people all over the country like you!"

…

After a period of familiarity and exchange, the lounge was bustling with excitement, and there was no longer any sense of restraint. Several people invited Shanhe to go to the cafeteria to eat together.

Xu Yanmei spoke at this time, "You go ahead! Lao Zheng will bring lunch later, and Shanhe will eat with us!"

"Okay! Lao Zheng's craftsmanship is not as good as the canteen. Shanhe, Sister Xu will entertain you today, and we will treat you to the canteen tomorrow!"

…

After a while, a middle-aged man also wearing zoo overalls walked into the lounge carrying a thermal box.

This is Xu Yanmei's husband Zheng Yufeng. He was also a keeper at Liger Mountain. He was transferred to the Panda House a few years ago. Shanhe has met him several times. He is much more cheerful and talkative than Xu Yanmei.

"Shanhe, I want you to try my skills today. Your sister Xu is good at raising tigers, but not people!"

"Hurry up! You are the only one who can be poor!" Xu Yanmei took the thermos box and placed it on the table and opened it layer by layer.

Shan He smiled at Zheng Yufeng who was not taking it seriously and said, "Then I'm welcome! It seems like everyone in Liger Mountain knows about Brother Zheng's skills!"

"That's right, my ancestors were cooks for three generations, but now I feed animals!" Zheng Yufeng helped his wife set the dishes and chopsticks.

"My daughter heard that you were experiencing life with her mother. She was so excited that she jumped up with excitement. She loved the signed books and a bunch of things you gave her. She also contributed to this meal!"

Zheng Yufeng's cooking skills are indeed good. Although the food is not freshly fried, it still tastes good.

"Brother Zheng, how many years have you stayed in Liger Mountain?" Shanhe asked while eating.

"Thirteen or fourteen years!" Lao Zheng replied uncertainly.

"Twelve and a half years!" Xu Yanmei corrected.

"Yes, we have only been together for so long. When your sister Xu and I were transferred to Liger Mountain, we were really reluctant. Who wants to stay with tigers and lions all day long?

We had just gotten married at that time, and we lived here before we were divided into houses in the garden. At that time, there were many small houses separated here. My daughter grew up here. The first words she learned were the roar of tigers, which she heard every day. Howling non-stop! "

"You are really good at doing things. Shanhe asked you a question, but you talked a lot!" Xu Yanmei rolled her eyes at her husband.

"You don't understand this!" Lao Zheng said to his wife, "Shanhe is here to experience life. What I'm talking about is life. Otherwise, what do you think Shanhe is doing in Liger Mountain? He's just feeding tigers!"

Shanhe smiled, I really just came here to feed the tiger!

The three of them chatted and laughed after lunch, rested in the lounge for more than an hour, and then started working in the afternoon.

The work in the afternoon was relatively flexible and was decided based on the actual situation. Xu Yanmei took Shanhe around the entire Liger Mountain and visited the breeding room.

Tiger cubs are completely different from adult tigers. They are so cute that people can’t bear to let them go. Their “ouch” sounds are so fun, and they are so cute that they make Shanhe’s eyes twitch.

The keepers all feed the tiger cubs as if they were their own children.

"These are all tiger cubs abandoned by a mother tiger. Wild tigers rarely abandon their babies, but some tigers raised in captivity have lost their breeding instinct. They cannot learn to take care of their children without their mother's guidance!"

…

After Shanhe stayed in the breeding room for a while, he and Xu Yanmei began to patrol the Liger Mountain. "The tourists are visiting the animals, but we are watching the tourists."

The keepers mainly patrol around the area they are responsible for, and immediately stop some tourists who engage in uncivilized behavior such as feeding indiscriminately or provoking provocations.

Xu Yanmei told Shanhe that tigers have very distinct emotions and each tiger has its own personality.

In addition to patrolling, they also have an important task every day, which is to observe the mental state of the animals, their feces, and record the animals' mating conditions. Once they find that the tiger's condition is not right, they must promptly notify the park veterinarian.

After working as a non-staff breeder for a day, Shanhe felt that the psychological pressure was even greater than that of filming a movie. Living and working with tigers really requires you to tense up!

After Shanhe returned to the courtyard from the zoo, he recalled his one day experience in the tiger park and was inspired to draw a picture of the boy Yi and the tiger Richard Parker sharing a boat.

While Shanhe was painting, the news that Shanhe went to the Liger Mountain in Beijing Zoo to experience life had already spread among his fan base.

Photos of the small gifts that Shanhe gave to the breeders were photographed and posted online by their children.

The news that Shanhe had started preparing a new book was revealed at once, and the fan group was chatting enthusiastically.

"Shanhe's autographed book, the "Bottom Hot Girls" peripherals, actually has signatures on it, I'm jealous!"

"The people in Shanhe are really nice. They go to experience life and bring gifts to others!"

…

"How long has it been since the Olympics ended? Shanhe is so fast. He only prepared a new movie last month and started writing a new book this month. The creative efficiency is terrifying!"

"Going to Liger Mountain to experience life? Is the new book going to be about tigers? I have no idea what he was thinking!"

…

"I'm going to the zoo tomorrow to see the mountains and rivers. Is anyone coming with me?"

"Why do you want to laugh so much when you hear this? Go to the zoo to see elephants, lions, tigers, and see the mountains and rivers by the way?"

"Haha... Let's go together!"

…

The next day, the number of tourists coming to Liger Mountain increased significantly, and most of them were groups of little girls.

As soon as Shanhe walked out of the tourist area with the leather tube, the fans in front of the tempered glass cheered and waved.

"Mountains and rivers!"

"Haha...why is Shanhe dressed like this!"

"This way, this way!"

"Haha...Is this a mountain and river?"

…

Shanhe was suddenly stunned. Let me go, what is going on?

The news leaked out so quickly!

Come on, I still pretended to be a humanoid tiger. Why is it so awkward to be watched through the glass? Does the tiger feel the same way? No wonder tigers in zoos are more ferocious than those in the wild!

He waved to the fans, connected the hose to the faucet, and hurried back to the cage.

Several keepers had broken Coca-Cola. Xu Yanmei was also happy to see tourists coming to Liger Mountain to see people for the first time.

"Shanhe, more people come to see you than the Panda House, and there's nothing wrong with you. You are indeed a national treasure too!"

Shan He smiled coquettishly, "I didn't expect the news to spread so fast. Did it not cause trouble to everyone?"

"Hey! What's the trouble? This situation is probably due to my boy. He was messing around on the computer last night, and he was probably talking about you!"

“It’s really impossible to hide news on the Internet these days!”

"Isn't it? It seems that our Liger Park has no worries about tourists these days!"

hehe…

More people came in the afternoon, and some media reporters rushed to Liger Mountain with cameras.

Shanhe no longer went out on patrol with Xu Yanmei, and sat in the lounge in a daze. It seemed that he could only come to the zoo in the morning and go to the "Gravity" crew in the afternoon!

That night, photos of Shanhe wearing work clothes and waterproof rubber shoes, dazed and holding a leather hose, became popular all over the Internet.

Everyone on the Internet laughed, what a contrast!

A few days ago, we were talking about Shanhe becoming a representative writer of country Z, breaking the prejudices and barriers in the Western literary world, and his style is boundless!

Within a few days, he appeared in front of the public dressed as a loser.

Mountains and rivers really don't matter, they don't have any big-name image at all, how come they are so different from domestic celebrities?

"Haha...is this a mountain and river? It's not P's picture, right?"

"It's really him. When I saw him walking out from behind Liger Mountain, I laughed so much that I peed my pants!"

"What's so funny? Shanhe is experiencing life. Why his novels are so good is because he is sincere!"

"Although I admire him very much, I still burst out laughing!"

"Haha... Shanhe can always do some weird things!"

…

The next day, various newspapers and magazines also reported the news, but focused on Shanhe's new book.

"Shanhe appeared at Liger Mountain in the Beijing Zoo for his new book, attracting many book fans to watch..."

"After "Dallas Buyers Club", Shanhe once again attacks the pinnacle of literature..."

"The outrageous creation speed, Shanhe's new movie and new book are released..."

"Shan He turns into a liger breeder, the new book involves lions or tigers?"

…

Shanhe looked at the heated discussions online and in newspapers and magazines, with a face that didn't know whether to laugh or cry. The advent of the Internet age has made it difficult for celebrities to escape the spotlight. He may never be able to experience life as usual again!

The next day, photos of Shanhe transforming into a zoo keeper were posted on the Internet. Netizens around the world were amused by Shanhe's operation.

Shanhe was surrounded by people in the tiger cage; his rustic and simple contrasting outfit made Shanhe fans all over the world burst into laughter.

Shanhe's forthright behavior and temperament suddenly won the praise and love of the majority of young netizens.

The news that he is preparing a new book has also spread all over the world. The influence of "Dallas Buyers Club" has been too great, and the public's expectations for Shanhe's new book have reached terrifying heights.

Shanhe's personal experience aroused the curiosity of book fans, and everyone is speculating and discussing the subject of his new book.

Scholar Publishing House and Disney Pictures are particularly concerned about this news. For these two capitals, Shanhe is an angel sent to earth by God!

Movies and novels came one after another. According to their usual experience, they once again saw the golden light flashing in front of them!

Not only Scholar Publishing House and Disney Pictures, but also major publishing houses and film companies around the world got the news and all contacted Chuhe Film and Television or Qu Ling.

You can no longer have this kind of good fortune boy all to yourself. You all have lost money, why don't you share some cakes and let us have a taste too!

Mountains and rivers showed up inadvertently in Liger Mountain, which caused a storm!

This made Qu Ling and Yang Liu, who were busy working on it, sigh. It is estimated that there is no other person in the world with such a bug as Shanhe!

Hathaway, who is currently filming "Wedding Live", was also amused by her boyfriend's behavior. Qiu is so funny and always surprises people!

If she wasn't filming a movie, she would immediately fly to Beijing to work as a tiger breeder with her boyfriend. It's so romantic!

Bruckheimer even boarded the flight to Beijing directly from Los Angeles.

After talking on the phone with the happy Hathaway, Shanhe took the thick stack of interview and interview invitations handed over by Kang Zhixuan and couldn't help but be in a daze for a moment.

I have become the center of competition among the predators, and yes, "Dallas Buyers Club" is indeed very profitable. The money is so exciting!

Shanhe didn't even have the mood to take a look, and directly returned the stack of invitations to Kang Zhixuan.

"I don't have time to deal with these things, let Yang Liu lead people to deal with them!"

"Okay!" Kang Zhixuan took the invitation, picked out one and handed it to Shanhe again and said, "This is a set of interview invitations from CCTV. They are going to do a program reviewing the Olympic opening ceremony. You and Zhang Yimou They are all invited, boss, take a look!"

Shanhe took it and looked at it, "Put it into your schedule. I have to accept this interview!"

Throughout November, apart from being interviewed by CCTV, Shanhe spent all his time on new books and movies.

A strange incident occurred at the Beijing Zoo in November. A large number of tourists came to the zoo to watch people!

Every morning, there will be a scene in Liger Mountain where fans are waiting for Shanhe to appear.

Shanhe is even more rare than the panda. This incident caused bursts of laughter on the Internet, and the public was very happy about it.

"Going to the zoo to see the mountains and rivers" has become a joke on the Internet.

Shanhe originally thought that this matter would be over soon, but who would have thought that the public would be particularly curious and interested in the scene of a celebrity like Shanhe appearing in such a down-to-earth manner, and they would not get tired of watching it for more than ten days in a row.

Shan He looked at the crowds of book fans and melon-eating people every day, facing bursts of laughter and shouting outside the glass window, waving to them in amazement, as if he was participating in a large-scale outdoor reality show, and The ratings are through the roof!

How come I can make some jokes every time? Could it be that all my talents are focused on variety shows, and maybe I am really a comedian who is delayed by writing?

The popularity of the TV station was so great that Mango TV immediately planned a new column "Celebrity Zoo", inviting a celebrity to raise and care for various animals in each issue.

It was launched at the end of November, and the ratings actually ranked among the top five variety shows in the country!

Shanhe was furious when he saw the video that Kang Zhixuan put in front of him!

Mango TV is such a thief, plagiarizing so blatantly, have you asked me?
