Chapter 43 – Make-up photos
The decision to let Chu i Bo go to school was made after Shen Huai had considered it for a long ti.
He watched all of Chu i Bo’s films and chatted with her.
He found that Chu i Bo was a typical “God given talent” actress. She did not have any professional training, relying entirely on instinct when acting.
Before she was assassinated, she had starred in 36 works, including unsophisticated female students, haughty and indifferent wealthy ladies, wealthy widows who had experienced the vicissitudes of life or hot and gorgeous widows. Each role was vivid and convincing. Even if you look at it decades later, it’s still amazing.
For example, this ti playing Kwai Ji, director Gao was surprised by her performance.
Fortunately, this ti it was an immortal cultivation drama, if it was replaced by a campus drama or modern drama, I am afraid it will not have such a good effect.
For actors, life is the soil they absorb nutrients from. After all, Chu i Bo’s age is far away from the present ti. There are many things she has not experienced personally. Even if she can perform with her strong talent, her performance will eventually feel slightly less natural.
Chu i Bo had very high demands on herself. Sooner or later, she would find out about this matter herself. Instead of thinking about it at the last mont, she should prepare early.
When Chu i Bo listened, her originally frowning eyebrows loosened, and she nodded: “You’re right.”
This is indeed a problem she had not considered, as Shen Huai said, if this problem is not solved on ti, her acting performance will be greatly affected.
Shen Huai paused and added: “Of course, not all of them are to let you experience the campus life. I also enrolled you in the Beijing Film Academy.”
Chu i Bo: “Film Academy?”
Shen Huai nodded: “Although your acting skills are very good, professional performance thods and theoretical knowledge have their own value. Besides, the Beijing Film Academy not only has a performance departnt, but it is also good for you to have more contact with other aspects of film production.”
Shen Huai’s words convinced Chu i Bo. She was not a person who would ignore other people’s advice. Although she was uncomfortable about going back to school almost hundred years after her death, she was not as conflicted as in the beginning.
Seeing that Chu i Bo promised to co, Shen Huai breathed a sigh of relief, and then said, “Although the score of the Art College is not high, I am afraid it is still a bit difficult for you now. I invited a tutor for you. Until school begins, it will at least bring up so basic courses.”
Chu i Bo: “...”
I can’t believe it, yet I can’t refute it.
Although Shen Huai’s plans were all made with her in consideration, Chu i Bo frowned doubtfully: “Why do I think your purpose is not pure?”
Shen Huai looked calm: “You’re thinking too much. I am a professional agent and everything I do is for my artists.”
Chu i Bo still did not believe it, but she did not see any flaws in Shen Huai’s behavior, so she could only set the matter aside with so doubt for now.
Shen Huai silently told himself that he really wanted the best for Chu i Bo, not because he didn’t want to drink Chu i Bo’s stewed soup anymore.

The next day, Chu i Bo was busy studying the script and shaping her character, the rest of her ti was spent studying hard.
It was a nightmare for her since she had been doing well since she was a child. She was admitted to Dongjiang University before she entered the film company in her last life, which was enough to call her an overachiever at that ti.
In the past, schools also taught English and mathematics, but her English that has not been used for so many years has degenerated. As for mathematics, it was used less and the difficulty at that ti could not be compared with that of the present. It turns out that only Chinese language and history are good, the rest is a ss.
Shen Huai’s tutor was also a famous local teacher. When she saw Chu i Bo’s grades, her expression was not very good. This was probably the worst student in her teaching career.
This look deeply hurt Chu i Bo’s self-esteem.
From that day on, she struggled with herself. Fortunately, she had a good mory, was a smart person, and was very good at drawing inferences. No matter what she learned, she could apply it in another subject very quickly. In just half a month, her grades have made great progress.
And in this life full of learning, “Tianji” finally began to shoot.
Before the official start of filming, all the actors had to take a make-up photo first.
Kwai Ji had two sets of clothes. One was for when she pretended to be an orphan and followed the male lead Chang Yu, and the other is her costu after she regained her identity.
The forr is a very simple cloth, but the latter is a gorgeous red dress, which were two total extres.
Chu i Bo changed into her first set of clothes. When she ca out of the dressing room, her eyes were lowered. When she looked at people, her eyes were full of light, she was like a poor little white flower. However when her eyebrows frowned, her eyes revealed so evil spirits.
Director Gao did not expect that she would enter her role now, and imdiately got excited: “Quick! Take a picture!”
The photographer was also inspired and constantly changed Chu i Bo’s movents. Chu i Bo had never taken makeup photos before, but she seed born to know how to show herself in the cara lens.
The photographer beca more and more excited, he didn’t know how many pictures he took before he stopped and let Chu i Bo go to change in her second set of clothes.
Director Gao Di leaned together with him to look at the photos in the cara and said with emotion, “This kind of person is born to stand in front of the cara.”
As Director Gao said it, he looked at Shen Huai standing beside him and said with a smile: “Junior Shen, you really have a wonderful eye. You discovered Xu Anqi, and this person now is even more powerful. You have found the most spirited female star in China. How on earth did you do it?”
This was not the first person to ask Shen Huai this question, Shen Huai laughed in a half-true and half-false way: “Luck.”
“Then your luck is more useful than buying lottery tickets! ” Director Gao joked.
Shen Huai showed a helpless smile. Was it really? Hell, this kind of thing is a lot more difficult than buying a lottery ticket, wasn’t it?
Director Gao chatted with Shen Huai, taking advantage of Chu i Bo’s ti to change her clothes and make-up, he took the regular makeup photos of several other supporting actors. In fact, their performance was not bad, but Director Gao had just finished watching Chu i Bo so he felt a little dissatisfied with their performance.
These people ware newcors. Before, they heard from their industry seniors that director Gao’s temper was very good, and he is kind to the newcors. They were all deceived!
Director Gao was slightly regretful to let them go, and said to the deputy director: “What’s wrong with these newcors, are they really from regular performing schools? Why can Little Chu, who hasn’t even studied acting before, compare with them?!”
Deputy Director: “...”
When Gao Di saw that the deputy director did not speak, he wondered, “Why don’t you talk?”
The deputy director looked straight behind him, and director Gao turned around frowning only to beco stunned.
Although it was just a change of clothes and make-up, Chu i Bo’s whole person seems to have completely changed.
Her long dress was extrely gorgeous. On the bright red background, the mandala pattern was embroidered with gold threads, which was quite eye-catching. If you changed it for another person’s clothes, it was feared it would only seem gaudy, but Chu i Bo’s eyes were glamorous and the temperant was cold, which completely suppresses the skirt.
Because of her age, her facial features were a little tender, so the makeup artist picked up the eyebrow pencil for her, added thick eyeliner, and with this undisguised evil temperant, almost let people ignore her age.
She was now the free, cruel, and cold Kwai Ji in the play.
Even Shen Huai, who had already made psychological preparations, was stunned at this mont.
Just as everyone was in a daze, the sound of the cara flash woke them up.
Gao Di looked back and saw the photographer shooting Chu i Bo enthusiastically.
When the final makeup photo was taken, Chu i Bo went to change her clothes, but the scene was still imrsed in the shock she brought. When Chu i Bo almost left with Shen Huai, the deputy director rembered to give them the shooting plan.
Kwai Ji didn’t have too many parts to play. It could be finished in half a month or so, just in ti to let Chu i Bo start school.
Shen Huai and Chu i Bo were quite satisfied.
Director Gao was also satisfied, Chu i Bo’s performance was unexpectedly good, she almost perfectly reflected the image of Kwai Ji in director Gao’s mind.
At last, he decided that Kwai Ji’s promotional photos would have her two identities side by side, one with a pitiful head down and the other with a slight tilt of her head and an arrogant posture.
She did not look at the cara, but everyone who saw the picture could not help but be attracted to her.
Nevertheless, without waiting for the high-level leaders to appreciate the promotional photos for a while, the promotional staff ca up with a bitter face and a computer in his hands: “Director, this is no good!”
Director Gao frowned.
In “Tianji,” in addition to the costu photos released by the main actors, the other supporting roles have nine places. However, when the promotion photo was displayed, Director Gao beca stunned.
It is said that they all wore the sa clothing style and had the sa photographer, but other people’s promotional makeup photos and Chu i Bo’s put together were taken to a new level in an instant.
Not that they were not good, but that Chu i Bo’s was too good.
This picture of her... Just like a living, vivid character, even if it’s just a still picture, it can be felt.
Others, by contrast, are sowhat rigid.
The promotional staff helplessly said, “Director Gao Di, what should we do now?”
What else can I do? Only a less brilliant one can be exchanged, otherwise, if these nine photos are taken out, it will be considered that the cast is biased.
However, Director Gao was a little reluctant to give up. He ditated for a mont and said, “Don’t change photos, change to silhouettes.”
The publicity staff’s eyes lit up: “This is OK.”
Kwai Ji was a controversial figure in the original book. There are as many people who like her as those who hate her. Even if they don’t spend much ti on the stage, they can also be popular villains, and there is nothing wrong with being mysterious.
–
The crew of “Tianji” soon released the promotional photos.
The original book had a lot of fans, and the number of forwards and comnts would soon increase.
The nine pictures promotional propaganda carefully circled all the actors. Chu i Bo also forwarded this Weibo under the guidance of Shen Huai. She did not know what to write, so she made a smiling expression.
[Ah ah ah ah ah! This is my little sister! Sister Sego!]
[Shit! It’s so ugly, isn’t it?]
[Why do other people have photos, and only Kwai Ji has a silhouette?]
[I heard that Kwai Ji was played by Liu Qingqing? ]
[Ah, Liu Qingqing! My Childhood Goddess (violence | exposed age]
[How could it be Liu Qingqing? The shadow obviously doesn’t look like her...]
[found it, it’s this @Chu i Bo who just sent a Weibo, looks like a newcor ah! The crew casually found soone to play Kwai Ji.]
[Kwai Ji can’t be played by just anybody. Wait till you get scolded @Chu i Bo]
