When the promotional photos were causing heated discussions, Chu Meibo had already followed the crew to Shanyang Film and Television City, which is the largest film and television base in China, with more than a dozen filming locations and two super-large modern studios.
Chu Meibo was shocked when she saw it. She stared at everything in front of her, the ancient city gates, the tall and majestic buildings, the magnificent city that once existed in history, and the beautiful palaces that were destroyed in war, all completely restored in such a small town.
After a long time, she slowly came back to her senses: "It's so spectacular."
Shen Huai also understood her mood at the moment, softened his voice, and said: "This is just one of the filming locations. There are also palaces from other dynasties and a street in the style of the Republic of China. When the filming is over, I can accompany you to see it."
Chu Meibo sighed: "When I saw Hollywood, I thought it was the ultimate I could imagine. I didn't expect that one day, our own country would also build such a film and television city."
When Gu Mei was popular, she was invited to film in the United States. The actor who acted with her was a popular Hollywood movie star, which was a sensation in the whole of China at the time. After all, China was poor at that time, and Chinese people were treated as second-class citizens even in their own country.
However, when Gu Mei went to Hollywood, she was not intimidated at all, even though she did not speak the language and was discriminated against. She showed her full aura, like a burning flame, and was not inferior to the actor.
She conquered Hollywood with her own strength and gave a shot of confidence to the people of China.
Shen Huai also thought of this period of history. He seemed to be infected and couldn't help saying, "China has more than one film and television city. We have others. You will see them when you shoot in the future."
"Yes!" Chu Meibo laughed, "This country is getting better and better."
Her eyes passed by nostalgia, and finally turned into a low sigh: "In this way... I will feel that what I did in the past was worthwhile."
——
The crew of "Heavenly Secret" held a start-up ceremony. From the director to all the actors, they burned incense in turn, and then filmed the first scene of the play, which was the first meeting of the male and female protagonists.
This section is not difficult, and it was passed in one take.
The first day's roles were not heavy, and most of them were crew members getting to know each other, because Director Gao likes to use newcomers, and most of the actors in "Heavenly Secret" are also newcomers.
Chu Meibo's personality was originally a bit cold, and her looks were not the best in the entertainment industry full of handsome men and beautiful women, so not many people came to chat with her.
She didn't care, she just read the script.
According to the shooting plan, she will shoot her first scene tomorrow. Even for someone as calm as Chu Meibo, at this moment, she couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
At this moment, several people walked up to her and said arrogantly: "You are the one who took the role of Sister Qingqing?"
Chu Meibo raised her eyebrows and raised her head. They had introduced themselves before. She recognized that the leader was He Fangfei, the actress who played the second female role, and the others were also female actors in the crew.
Shen Huai was about to come over to rescue Chu Meibo, but was stopped by her.
She had seen this kind of trick many times. They were not necessarily defending Liu Qingqing, but just using this as an excuse to suppress the female actors in the same group. When she was in the film company, the female actors did even more excessive things to compete for roles. Chu Meibo didn't take this kind of childish thing seriously at all, but since she encountered it, she didn't mind teaching them a lesson.
Chu Meibo smiled and leaned back, saying slowly: "Oh, do you have any advice for me?"
He Fangfei was stunned. It was obvious that they were standing and Chu Meibo was sitting, but she felt that she was a head shorter than him, which made her jealous: "I tell you, you have to be more obedient in the crew in the future, and don't always think about showing off, otherwise..."
Before she finished her words, a voice from the side interrupted her: "He Fangfei, what are you doing? If you do this again, I will tell the director!"
Several people looked in the direction of the voice. It was a girl about 20 years old with a baby face and two dimples on her cheeks when she smiled. At this moment, she pretended to be fierce and glared at He Fangfei, but because she looked so cute, she didn't look fierce at all, but rather like a little cat with its fur standing on end.
However, when He Fangfei saw her, her face changed, and she didn't care about the trouble with Chu Meibo anymore, so she left in a hurry with her people.
The girl snorted, then walked over and asked worriedly, "Are you okay?"
Chu Meibo chuckled and said, "I'm fine."
The girl introduced herself, "My name is Le Jiameng, I'm a junior at Zhongjing Film Academy, and I play the role of Junior Sister Jiang Jiang. You play Aoi Ji, right?"
Chu Meibo smiled and nodded, "My name is Chu Meibo, hello."
"Hello, hello!" Facing Chu Meibo's smile, Le Jiameng was stunned, and then she came back to her senses and whispered, "He Fangfei just likes to do this kind of little tricks, don't pay attention to her! She just saw your makeup photos and thought you performed too well, and she felt a sense of crisis, so she came to bother you."
Chu Meibo finally understood, and she sighed the same way as Ye Cang in her heart.
Alas, someone as outstanding as me, even if I change my body, I will always exude an enviable brilliance.
Seeing Chu Meibo's expression, Shen Huai said, "..."
Le Jiameng thought she was worried, and hurriedly said, "Don't be afraid, He Fangfei is just a paper tiger, she will be obedient in front of the director."
Chu Meibo looked at her serious look and smiled more deeply, "Well, I'm not afraid."
Le Jiameng was stared at by her, and felt as if her brain was on fire. She turned red as if she was cooked, and ran away with her face covered.
Shen Huai: "..."
At this time, he didn't know whether he should persuade Chu Meibo to be more restrained in the future, or blame Le Jiameng for her poor tolerance.
Shen Huai rubbed his aching forehead: "He Fangfei and Liu Qingqing are artists from the same company. Liu Qingqing originally thought that she had a sure win for the role of Kui Ji, but now that it has been snatched away by you, she must be unwilling to accept it. No matter what the reason is for He Fangfei to come to you for trouble, you should try not to conflict with her in the future. Let me handle it, so as not to be caught by others."
Chu Meibo smiled: "Well, I will try."
"Not try, but definitely." Shen Huai emphasized.
Chu Meibo spread his hands and said innocently: "Okay, I will definitely not do it."
Shen Huai: "..."
What's the matter? Did you plan to do it originally? !
Shen Huai sighed for a long time, and always felt that after the appearance of the two big guys, his career seemed to have gone astray.
——
The filming of "Heavenly Secret" was divided into two groups, A and B, which were carried out simultaneously. Chu Meibo's first scene was on the afternoon of the second day. It was when Kui Ji, under the alias of Zhang Wan, killed Chang Yu's master. The second female Ning Shan found out and came to confront her, but she provoked the moody Kui Ji and was almost killed by her.
Chu Meibo changed her costume. Although it was just a simple cloth dress, it looked pure and beautiful on her. It was no wonder that Chang Yu and others were deceived by her harmless and pitiful temperament.
Before the official filming, the actors walked through the play first.
He Fangfei relied on her professional background and did not take Chu Meibo seriously at first. Who knew that it was just a scene, Chu Meibo also entered into the role. Originally, in this early stage, Ning Shan was full of momentum, and Kui Ji made clever excuses. However, under Chu Meibo's suppression, He Fangfei stuttered her lines, and it seemed that she was the one with something to hide.
After the scene was over, He Fangfei was furious and felt that Chu Meibo was deliberately targeting her, otherwise who would take the scene so seriously?
Chu Meibo was also very unhappy and complained to Shen Huai: "Is this a student from the film academy? The attitude is too improper."
When it was time to officially start filming, He Fangfei recalled the plot in the script and calmed down. After all, she was a professional, and she quickly adjusted her state.
Ning Shan discovered the truth about the murder of Master Chang Yu, and rushed to Zhang Wan's room in anger.
In the room, Kui Ji was watering the flowers. When she heard the noise, she turned her head slightly. From the camera, she could just see a small part of her face. She asked softly, "Sister Ning is so angry, but what happened?"
Ning Shan clenched her fists and took a step forward, "You are still pretending to be innocent. Did you kill Tianyi Zhenren?"
He Fangfei blocked Chu Meibo in front of the camera intentionally or unintentionally.
Director Gao frowned slightly in front of the monitor, but did not stop.
In the camera.
Kui Ji stood up slowly and walked towards Ning Shan.
She walked very slowly, but every step seemed to be full of pressure. Her expression could not be seen in the camera, but He Fangfei, standing opposite her, could feel the deep indifference and ridicule in her eyes.
He Fangfei was captured by this look and took a step back involuntarily.
And it was the space given up by this step that completely revealed Kui Ji's face in the camera.
Kui Ji smiled slightly: "Sister Ning, are you kidding me? How could a weak woman like me kill someone?"
Her voice brought He Fangfei back to her senses. She didn't expect that she would be frightened by Chu Meibo. Embarrassment turned into anger, almost overwhelming her mind. She said aggressively: "The master has long discovered that something is wrong with you. The night he got into trouble, I happened to pass by your room, and there was no one in your room. Where did you go?"
Kui Ji was not panicked at all. She smiled and covered her lips: "If I said that I went to appreciate the flowers and the moon with your sweetheart, Sister Ning, wouldn't you be even angrier?"
"You!"
Ning Shan grabbed her wrist and said viciously: "I tell you, don't be complacent! I will find you sooner or later!"
Kui Ji felt offended, and the soft smile on her face suddenly disappeared: "I hate it most when others touch me."
Before Ning Shan could react, the woman in front of her suddenly tore off her disguise. She looked at Ning Shan with her eyelids drooping. The uncontrollable cruelty in her eyes seemed to compress the air into a solid, making it hard to breathe.
At that moment, He Fangfei forgot that this was a filming. She felt like a bug being stared at by a frog. If she moved, she would be swallowed by the person in front of her.
Cold sweat dripped down her forehead, and beads of sweat slowly slid across her cheeks. However, she did not dare to wipe it off, and could only endure this slow and torturous process. All of this made her heart twist into a line.
However, at this moment, Kui Ji suddenly stretched her hand to her neck.
"Snap!"
The line in her mind suddenly broke, and fear filled her entire face.
She suddenly let go of Kui Ji's hand and shouted in despair: "No! Don't kill me! Don't kill me!"
"Cut!"
Director Gao suddenly stopped and said with satisfaction: "Okay, this scene is over, Ning Shan rests, Kui Ji touches up her makeup and prepares for the next scene."
Chu Meibo retracted her outward emotions, smiled again, walked aside, and asked the makeup artist to touch up her makeup, while Director Gao explained the key points of the next scene.
He Fangfei, who was standing by, came back to her senses in a daze. There was still some fear in her body. She realized that her back was wet. She shivered when the wind blew.
Director Gao came over: "Xiao He, you performed the scene just now very well, especially the part about fear, which was very real! Keep it up!"
He Fangfei thanked him in a daze and it took her a long time to come back to her senses.
So...
she was led into the play by Chu Meibo? ?
He Fangfei involuntarily turned her gaze to Chu Meibo who was putting on makeup. Chu Meibo happened to look over and smiled at her.
He Fangfei: "..."
She hugged her arms and ran away quickly.
