Shen Huai stood behind Director Yu, quietly looking at Chu Meibo in the camera.

He almost watched her put on makeup and change clothes step by step. When she walked out of the dressing room, Director Yu and others were stunned. The makeup artist did not deliberately change her appearance, but when she stood in front of everyone, she looked like a different person. Her

eyebrows were slightly frowned, and her watery eyes seemed to be filled with a bay of spring water. Her skin was a little pale, but it highlighted the exquisiteness of her facial features. She stood there, weak and thin, as if a gust of wind would blow her away.

Chu Meibo has always shown a bright and generous look. The roles she played before, whether it was Kui Ji, Wen Nan, or Yun Qiyi, were all relatively strong female roles. So much so that Shen Huai even forgot that Chu Chu's face was originally delicate and pitiful.

At this moment, Chu Meibo completely changed her temperament, and thus perfectly highlighted the advantages of this face.

No matter how people fantasize about Rong Qi's appearance in their hearts, Chu Meibo who appeared in front of everyone at this moment is definitely worthy of the title of the most beautiful woman.

Shen Huai can already imagine how much commotion Chu Meibo's performance will cause after this episode is broadcast.

Shen Huai watched her in the camera, from the initial confusion and weakness, to the reminder from the Taifu that she is now surrounded by wolves, which is like a wake-up call. She began to study late into the night, learning those difficult and obscure government orders, and took the initiative to find several important officials to cooperate. The important officials looked down on her as a dancing queen. She went from being wronged to learning to be patient, and finally, when she had real power, her face was still weak, but her eyes were no longer weak.

Every change of Rong Qi, every stage of her performance, was very vivid under Chu Meibo's interpretation.

Compared with her, Xu Anqi's brilliance was much dimmer.

Xu Anqi was a little bit petty at the beginning, but later she was very active. She cooperated with Qiu Jie to play memes several times, which was also very good. However, these little tricks were a bit counterproductive in front of an actor who was good enough.

Xu Anqi seemed to realize this, and she no longer avoided being drawn into the play by Chu Meibo. She was a very talented actress, and once she stopped being so picky, her understanding of the character made her role stand out immediately.

However, Shen Huai sighed secretly.

If it were him in the past, he might not be moved by Xu Anqi's performance at all, but perhaps because he had been with Ye Cang, Chu Meibo and others for a long time, their enthusiasm for art also infected him.

Therefore, he could see Chu Meibo guiding Xu Anqi without leaving any trace, and he could also see the pure obsession with acting in Xu Anqi's eyes.

——The

recording ended at around eight or nine in the evening.

In the last scene, when Empress Dowager Rong was dying, Chu Meibo was acting behind the curtain, and the camera was focused on the supporting actors who played the young emperor and several guests.

Empress Dowager Rong weakly but almost forcefully asked the young emperor not to remove the cabinet, but was rejected by the young emperor.

His eyes revealed ambition and his voice was passionate. He said that he had had enough of being controlled by the cabinet, and he would definitely let the imperial power return to his hands.

The figure behind the curtain did not move for a long time, and finally a deep sigh was heard.

Several supporting actors showed sad expressions on their faces. Even though they knew that all this was fake, at the end of the day, they seemed to have really seen the woman who had taken over most of the dynasty as a woman, but all her efforts would eventually come to nothing.

Even if they, the bystanders, knew the outcome, they could do nothing.

This is the cruelty and helplessness of history.

When Director Yu called "Cut", the three regular guests slowly came to their senses, hammered the sore parts of their bodies, and joked with each other, but Xu Anqi was still kneeling on the ground in a daze, as if she had not yet come out of the plot. In

the last scene just now, she cried so hard that she almost fainted. Even though it was over, there were still traces of tears on her face.

Meng Honghe always admired people who were dedicated to their work. Seeing Xu Anqi like this, he became more gentle: "Anqi, wake up, you're back." Xu

Anqi turned her head, seemed to be suddenly awakened, and wiped the tears from her face in a somewhat wolfish manner.

Several guests thought she was still immersed in the emotions of the play, so they joked tacitly. Xu Anqi smiled, but her expression was still a little dazed.

She was not still immersed in the play, but was recalling everything that had just happened in the play.

In the second half, she completely let herself go and let herself enter the play. When it was over, she realized that she had not experienced such a hearty performance for a long time.

In the past two years, repetitive performances have gradually worn away her love for acting and her original intention to enter this circle.

She remembered the happiness and dedication she had when she performed a drama on the school stage. She thought she had forgotten it, but the rivalry with Chu Meibo suddenly woke her up.

Xu Anqi pursed her lips and looked up to see Shen Huai.

She didn't glare at him like before, but was surprisingly calm.

After they walked out of the studio, Shen Huai said calmly, "I heard that you are interested in starring in Director Lu's new movie."

He didn't ask a question, but affirmed it. The news hadn't been leaked yet, but he seemed to have confirmed the result.

Xu Anqi was not surprised. When she was still working for Shen Huai, she found that he was very powerful and well-informed. He knew that this matter was nothing.

But Shen Huai would actually care about her business, which surprised Xu Anqi.

Xu Anqi chuckled: "I want to change, and Director Lu wants to try something new, so we both get what we want."

"I've read Director Lu's script, it's very good, and this role is also suitable for you." Shen Huai said slowly, "I'm glad you can figure it out."

Xu Anqi was distracted for a moment, and she thought she had returned to three years ago when Shen Huai was still her agent.

She looked at Shen Huai steadily, and suddenly said: "Shen Huai, you have changed."

Shen Huai was stunned.

"You...are beginning to be humane."

Xu Anqi seemed a little uncomfortable after saying this, but she said stubbornly, "But I won't take advantage of you. I'll trade you some information."

"Huarong seems to have been sending people to investigate Chu Meibo. There seems to be new progress recently. You should be careful."

Shen Huai had received news from the people who were monitoring Chu's parents. Recently, someone was secretly investigating Chu Chu's past. He didn't expect it to be Huarong.

Although Shen Huai had already taken measures, he still thanked Xu Anqi very sincerely.

Xu Anqi seemed to be relieved, but she still said unforgivingly: "I'm just repaying a favor. I, Xu Anqi, never owe anyone anything, especially you, Shen Huai."

"I've said before that I will definitely be better than under you! I will definitely do it!"

After Xu Anqi finished speaking, she raised her neck and walked away.

Shen Huai was a little helpless, but thinking back to what she said, "more humane", he couldn't help but touch his cheek, and his mind unexpectedly thought of Ye Cang.

Ye Cang always said that the person he wanted to thank the most was himself, but for Shen Huai, it was not the same.

At this moment, Ye Cang, who came to pick up Shen Huai, happened to pass by Xu Anqi. The two of them paused, and then showed disgust to each other.

Xu Anqi snorted coldly, and then walked away.

Shen Huai looked up and happened to see this scene. Ye Cang looked puzzled and walked over to complain to Shen Huai: "Why is she here? Is she here to trouble you again?"

Shen Huai: "..."

He could only tell Ye Cang the purpose of Xu Anqi's visit.

Ye Cang was surprised: "She is so kind?"

Shen Huai paused, and finally couldn't help asking: "I have never figured out why you are so hostile to Xu Anqi?"

Ye Cang glanced at him dimly: "Maybe, this is the intuition from the rival in love."

Shen Huai: "..."

Just when Shen Huai was about to say something, his mobile phone rang. He saw the mobile phone number and his eyes sank.

The owner of this number was the person he sent to check the girl he met in Songjing Town before. Now that the other party called, there should be news.

He turned his body slightly and answered the phone.

Shen Huai responded indifferently to what was said on the other side, and then hung up the phone with a normal expression.

Ye Cang was a little curious: "Is it a call from the company?"

Shen Huai said "hmm" as an answer.

Ye Cang felt that Shen Huai's attitude was a little strange, but he couldn't figure out what was strange.

Shen Huai felt a little sorry for Ye Cang, but the girl was really a little strange. The frightened expression she had when she saw Ye Cang at that time made Shen Huai remember it deeply. Before finding out the truth, he didn't want Ye Cang to be involved.

Shen Huai calmly changed the subject, and Ye Cang's attention was diverted, so he temporarily put the matter behind him.

The two did not participate in the dinner of the program group, but just ate a little casually outside. After returning to the hotel, Shen Huai took advantage of Ye Cang taking a shower and called again.

"Tell me, what's going on?"

The person on the other end quickly told Shen Huai all the information he had recently found. The girl's name is Yin Jingyi, and she is a junior student in the Department of Fine Arts at Dongjiang University of the Arts. Her parents are both doctors, and they are usually very busy and rarely pay attention to their daughter's situation. Yin Jingyi was bullied at school because of her obesity, and her personality was withdrawn and gloomy, but other than that, there was nothing suspicious about her.

Shen Huai frowned deeply.

But if there was really nothing wrong with Yin Jingyi, why did she show such an expression when she saw Ye Cang?

Shen Huai thought for a while, but couldn't come up with any ideas. He could only ask the other party to continue to pay attention to Yin Jingyi. He was recently busy with the press conference of "Red Actress" and was about to go abroad with Ye Cang. He really didn't have time to go to Dongjiang City.

But he still made a decision. After returning from the United States with Ye Cang, he would go to meet this classmate Yin Jingyi.
