It was Shen Huai's decision to let Chu Meibo go to school after thinking for a long time.
He watched all of Chu Meibo's surviving videos and chatted with her again.
He found that Chu Meibo was a typical "God treats food" actor. She did not undergo any professional training and acted purely by instinct.
Before she was assassinated, she had acted in a total of thirty-six works, including an indifferent schoolgirl, an arrogant and indifferent rich lady, a prostitute who had experienced vicissitudes of life, and a flamboyant widow, each of which was vivid and convincing. Even decades later, it's still amazing.
Just like Kui Ji this time, Gao Dao was astonished by her performance.
But fortunately, this time it is a fairy tale drama. If it is replaced by a school drama or a modern drama, I am afraid it will not have such a good effect.
For actors, life is the soil for absorbing nutrients. After all, the era of Chu Meibo is still too far away from now. There are many things she has not experienced first-hand. Even if she can perform with her strong talent, she will be less A little more natural.
Chu Meibo has extremely high demands on herself, and she will find this sooner or later.
After Chu Meibo heard this, her originally tightly wrinkled eyebrows loosened, and she nodded: "You are right."
This is indeed a problem she has not considered, but as Shen Huai said, if this problem is not solved, her acting will be greatly affected.
Shen Huai paused, then continued: "Of course, it's not all about letting you experience campus life. I also signed up for you at the Zhongjing Film Academy."
Chu Meibo: "Film Academy?"
Shen Huai nodded: "Although your acting skills are already very good, professional acting methods still have theoretical knowledge. After all, they have their existence value, and Zhongjing Film Academy not only has the Department of Acting, but also has more exposure to other aspects of film production. It's good too."
Shen Huai's words convinced Chu Meibo that she was not someone who couldn't listen to other people's opinions. Although she was still a little uncomfortable about going back to school after being dead for almost a hundred years, she didn't. So conflicted.
Seeing that Chu Meibo agreed, Shen Huai was also relieved, and the next words were easy to say: "Although the score in the art school is not high, it may be a little difficult for you now, I invited it for you. Tutoring, until the start of school, at least a few basic courses should be brought up."
Chu Meibo: "..."
Couldn't refute it.
Although Shen Huai's every piece was for her consideration, Chu Meibo frowned suspiciously: "Why do I think your purpose is impure?"
Shen Huai looked calm: "You think too much. I am a professional manager, and everything I do is for my artist."
Chu Meibo was still a little unconvinced, but he really didn't see any flaws in Shen Huai's body, so he could only put this matter aside with suspicion.
Shen Huai silently told himself that he was really doing it for the good of Chu Meibo, not because he didn't want to drink the soup stewed by Chu Meibo.

In the next time, Chu Meibo was busy studying the script and shaping the characters, and the rest was to study hard.
For her, it was a nightmare. She has always had good grades since she was a child. In her previous life, before she entered the film company, she was admitted to Dongjiang University, which was enough to be called a scholar at that time.
English and mathematics were also taught in schools in the past, but English has not been used for so many years, and it has degenerated. As for mathematics, it is used less, and the difficulty at that time is not comparable to the current one. After all, there are only Chinese and history. Not bad, everything else is a mess.
The tutor Shen Huai hired for her was still a famous local teacher. When she saw Chu Meibo's grades, none of the teachers had a good-looking expression. This was probably the worst student in their teaching career.
This gaze deeply hurt Chu Meibo's self-esteem.
Since that day, she has been more competitive with herself. Fortunately, she has a good memory, is smart, and is very good at drawing inferences from others. No matter what she learns, she progresses very quickly, but in just half a month, her grades have already improved a lot.
And in this fulfilling study life, "The Secret" finally started filming.
Before the official shooting, all the actors have to go to take a makeup photo.
Kui Ji has a total of two sets of clothes, one is when she pretends to be an orphan and follows the male protagonist Chang Yu, and the other is when she regains her identity.
The former is a very simple commoner, but the latter is a gorgeous red dress, completely two extremes.
Chu Meibo changed her first set of clothes first. When she walked out of the changing room, her eyebrows were downcast. When she looked at people, her eyes were full of light, like a pitiful little white flower. Kind of evil.
Director Gao didn't expect her to be in the film now, and immediately became excited: "Hurry up! Hurry up and shoot!"
The photographer also came to the inspiration and kept changing Chu Meibo's movements. Chu Meibo had never taken makeup photos before, but she seemed to know how to show herself in the camera.
The photographer became more and more excited about taking pictures. He didn't know how many pictures he took before he stopped and let Chu Meibo go to change his second outfit.
Director Gao and him gathered together to look at the photos in the camera and said with emotion: "This kind of person should be born in front of the camera."
Director Gao said, looked at Shen Huai who was standing beside him, and said with a smile: "Xiao Shen, your vision is really amazing, you brought out Xu Anqi back then, but now this is even more powerful, this is the most talented person in China. You have found all the female stars of Reiki, how did you do it?"
This is not the first person to ask Shen Huai this way. Shen Huai smiled and said half-truth: "Let's be lucky."
"Then your luck is more difficult than buying a lottery ticket!" Gao Dao joked.
Shen Huai showed a helpless smile, didn't he? Heck, this kind of thing is much more difficult than buying a lottery ticket, right
Director Gao chatted with Shen Huai for a few more words, and while Chu Meibo was going to change clothes and makeup, he took some makeup photos of the other supporting roles. In fact, their performance was not bad, but Director Gao just finished watching. Chu Meibo always felt a little dissatisfied with their performance.
These people are all newcomers. I heard from the seniors before that Gao Dao has a very good temper and is even more amiable to newcomers. They are all lies! !
Director Gao regretted letting them go, and complained to the assistant director: "What's going on with the newcomers now, they are still from regular acting schools, why can't even Xiao Chu, who has never studied acting, compare? !"
Deputy director:"… "
Seeing that the assistant director didn't speak, Director Gao wondered, "Why don't you speak?"
The assistant director looked straight behind him, and Director Gao turned around with a frown, stunned.
Although he only changed his clothes and makeup, Chu Meibo seemed to have completely changed himself.
This long dress of hers is extremely gorgeous. On top of the bright red background, the mandala pattern is embroidered with gold thread. It is quite exaggerated. Meibo looked contemptuous and indifferent, completely suppressing the skirt.
Because of her age, her facial features are actually a bit immature. The makeup artist raised her eyebrows and thickened her eyeliner. With this undisguised evil temperament, people almost ignored her age.
At this moment, she is the freewheeling, cruel and ruthless Kui Ji in the play.
Even Shen Huai, who was already mentally prepared, was stunned at this moment.
Just when everyone was in a daze, the sound of the camera flash woke them up.
Gao Dao came back to his senses and saw the photographer taking pictures of Chu Meibo with a frenzy on his face.
After taking the makeup photos, Chu Meibo went to change clothes, but the scene was still immersed in the shock she brought. When Chu Meibo almost left with Shen Huai, the assistant director remembered to give them the shooting plan.
Kui Ji didn't have a lot of scenes, and the filming could be finished in about half a month. Just after the filming, Chu Meibo was about to go to school.
Shen Huai and Chu Meibo were quite satisfied.
Gao Dao was also very satisfied. Chu Meibo's performance was beyond his expectations. She almost perfectly embodied the character image of Kui Ji in Gao Dao's mind.
In the end, he decided that Kwai Ji's publicity photo was to put her two identities sideways back to back, one with her head lowered and pitiful, the other with her head raised slightly and arrogantly.
She didn't look at the camera, but everyone who saw this still couldn't help being attracted to her.
However, before Director Gao could appreciate the promotional photos for a while, the propaganda came over with a sullen face holding the computer: "Director Gao, this can't be done!"
Gao Dao frowned and looked over.
In "Heavenly Secret", in addition to the starring's special makeup photos, the other supporting roles are all nine palaces. However, when the publicity released the photos, Director Gao was also dumbfounded.
It is said that they all have the same clothing style and photography, but the makeup photos of other people are put together with Chu Meibo's, and it seems to be downgraded in an instant.
It's not that they are bad, but Chu Meibo is too good.
This photo of her... It's like living, the vividness of the characters, even if it's just a still photo, people can feel it.
In comparison, others are a little dull.
The propaganda said helplessly: "Director Gao, what do you think we should do now?"
What else can I do? You can only change to a less outstanding one, otherwise, if you take out this nine-square grid, it will be considered that the crew is favoring one over the other.
However, Director Gao was a little reluctant. He pondered for a moment and said, "You don't need to change the photo, let's change it to a silhouette."
The propaganda's eyes lit up: "This can be done."
The character of Kwai Ji is a very controversial character in the original work. There are as many people who like her as people who hate her. If it is not for too little time on the scene, it can be regarded as a popular villain, and there is nothing wrong with being mysterious.

The "Sky Secret" crew soon released promotional photos.
There are many fans of the original book, and the number of retweets and comments quickly increased.
When supporting Jiugongge, the publicity carefully circled all the actors. Chu Meibo also reposted this Weibo under the guidance of Shen Huai. She didn't know what to write, so she sent a smile.
[Ahhh! This is my little sister-in-law! Little Junior Sister Race High!]
[Fuck! This is so right and wrong, it's so ugly!]
[Why does everyone else have photos, only Kwai Ji is a silhouette!]
[I heard that Kui Ji was played by Liu Qingqing?]
[Ah, Liu Qingqing! My childhood goddess (exposure age)
[How could it be Liu Qingqing? This shadow is obviously not like a person...]
[I found it, it's this @chumeibo who just posted a Weibo, looks like a newcomer! Did the crew randomly find someone to play Kui Ji?]
[Kui Ji can not be played by anyone, just wait to be scolded @chumeibo]
