126. Acting Teacher

Just as Deng Ling said, the shopping mall on the first day of the Lunar New Year was indeed much quieter than usual, but there were still some fans who came to support it, and there were also some passers-by who were curious about the sleeping aromatherapy and came to join the crowd.

[Miaomiao.]

[Miaomiao, look over here.]

[Oh, Miaomiao, your makeup looks really good today.]

[Hey, is this celebrity the girl who jumped off a building after being bullied in the movie a while ago?]

…………

Guan Miao waved to fans as she walked the red carpet. She then approached the host, waited for him to finish his welcome speech, picked up the microphone, and said, "Hello everyone, I'm Guan Miao. I'm very happy to meet you all here today..."

About two hours later, the event ended and she left under the escort of bodyguards, waving goodbye to her fans.

Back in the lounge, Guan Miao changed his clothes while listening to Deng Ling talking about the current discussions on Weibo Square.

"Everyone seems to be very satisfied with your outfit today. I saw several raw photos posted by fans and they all looked great.

Hanamiki was also the first to claim your dress, and fans are happy that you can wear it out of season.

Ms. Shi replied that she is free the day after tomorrow and wonders if it is convenient for you.

Guan Miao took off her earrings, looked at herself in the mirror, and said with a smile, "Of course it's convenient. You can arrange a specific time with her."

After returning home and having a good rest for a day, Guan Miao and An Jing arrived at the company gate on time at eight o'clock in the morning.

Just as Deng Ling said yesterday, security guards came out to stop the car before it even drove in.

"Excuse me, please show me your pass."

Guan Miao lowered the car window, looked at the elderly security guard, and said, "Uncle, our passes haven't arrived yet. Can we wait here for a while and let our colleagues bring them to us?"

The uncle looked around, pointed in a direction and said, "How about this, drive your car over there so that you don't block the way for the people behind you. We have no other options now because of the special circumstances, so please cooperate with us."

Since the uncle said so, Guan Miao and the others naturally had no reason to refuse.

An Jing turned around and found an open place. Guan Miao called Deng Ling and told her the details of the situation and asked her to come down and pick them up as soon as possible.

After a lot of trouble, Guan Miao and others finally entered the Morning Star building.

As we were getting on the elevator, An Jing said, "There should be paparazzi 20 meters to the left of the intersection where we just stopped."

The two were shocked. Deng Ling asked, "You can sense this, but how come I don't see anything?"

Guan Miao quickly tried to smooth things over, "An Jing is a professional bodyguard. If he doesn't even have this little bit of skill, how can he be called a professional?"

"That's true. Clean yourself up, your hair is all messed up, and put on some lipstick, otherwise it won't be nice to see the teacher like this."

Upon hearing this, Guan Miao simply smoothed his hair and did nothing else.

"No, aren't all the people in my studio ours? There's nothing they haven't seen about me. And the acting teacher should see the most authentic me, so that he can teach according to the student's aptitude."

"Too."

In the practice room, Guan Miao's inner strength almost collapsed when he saw the true face of his acting teacher.

The woman in the room was wearing a simple brown windbreaker, with neat and clean short hair and sharp eyes, which made her unconsciously recall her high school homeroom teacher.

Oh my god, this acting teacher can't really be a teacher, right? This kind of innate sense of oppression can't be acted out.

As Guan Miao thought about this, a hint of fear and respect unconsciously appeared in his eyes.

However, the acting teacher opposite her showed a gentle smile, dispelling some of the harshness in his body.

"Guan Miao? Don't be nervous. I've seen the movie you acted in, and you played the role of Bai Zhi really well.

I think if nothing unexpected happens, you will win the Best Actress award at this year’s Silver Lion.”

Hearing her words, Guan Miao was a little overwhelmed for a moment.

Since the movie was released, many people have told her that she performed very well, but no one has ever told her so directly that she will win the Best Actress award for this role.

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Deng Ling quickly spoke up to ease the awkward atmosphere, "Teacher Xue, please stop praising our Miao Miao. Let's talk about the next class time."

"That's true. Then Xiaoguan, tell me first. Do you think you have any shortcomings in your acting?"

Speaking of business, Guan Miao became serious. "I personally feel that my eye acting is still a bit problematic. I can only express 80% of what I'm thinking, which is far from enough."

Xue Min nodded, "What else?"

"I feel like my experience and understanding may still be lacking. Do you think there is any way to quickly supplement my experience?"

"It's normal for you to have some shortcomings at your age. You should act according to your age. This is not an empty saying.

You can't ask a young woman in her early 20s to play a drama about marriage and family. If you haven't experienced this before, how can you possibly act it out? Similarly, an actor who has been in the industry for decades will definitely not be able to portray the kind of youthful, hazy love in a drama starring young people today.

So I think you don't need to rush into settling down. To be frank, with your current experience, you won't be able to achieve anything. If you want to broaden your horizons, the only way is to read. Read all kinds of books. What kind of books do you like to read?"

"To improve my acting skills."

Xue Min shook her head, looking at her with eyes full of concern and love. "I mean, besides books related to your major, don't you have any special interests or hobbies? For example, various online novels are also fine. Looking at the hottest topics right now can also help you choose scripts."

"Is that so?" Guan Miao hesitated after hearing her words. "I have read books on music and painting. I am also very interested in the starry sky and occasionally read some books on this subject. I also plan to take the postgraduate entrance examination in the near future, so I may need to pick up my previous knowledge again."

"That's great! This exam preparation experience will give you a chance to fully experience it. Afterward, you'll definitely be a brand new person. This kind of experience is something many other artists don't have. You could definitely take on a student play in the future, and the performance will be more realistic than most artists."

You're still young, so there's no need to force yourself to mature. As long as you can stick to your original aspirations and earnestly film three or four completely different types of dramas, you will naturally improve.

Then let’s talk about the eye contact issue…”

After spending an afternoon in the practice room talking with Teacher Xue, Guan Miao felt much more open-minded. This kind of conversation had a completely different effect from chatting with a psychologist.

One treats you as a patient, and the other treats you as a younger generation whom he truly cultivates. The feelings between them are incomparable.

After watching Teacher Xue leave, Guan Miao looked at Deng Ling with sincere gratitude in his eyes.

"Sister Deng Ling, thank you for helping me invite Teacher Xue Min. She is truly amazing."

Deng Ling said proudly, "Of course. He's a legitimate acting doctoral supervisor who has mentored several Grand Slam winners. I've done him a big favor this time, so you must listen carefully and study hard for the next two weeks. Maybe we'll become Grand Slam winners too."

They both laughed and said, "Okay, I will definitely work hard to become a Grand Slam champion soon. This will also be a way to repay Sister Deng Ling for inviting me to be her disciple today."

"Okay, then you have to remember this. It's getting late, so I'll go back first."

"Yeah, bye."

After watching Deng Ling's figure getting farther and farther away, Guan Miao and An Jing walked towards their car.

The phone rang, and she picked it up. Seeing it was Geng Le, she was delighted. Geng Le must be here to talk to her about signing the second film.

She picked up the phone excitedly, her tone filled with unconcealed joy. "Hello? Geng Le, what's so important that you're looking for me now?"
