Entertainment News: You gain half of your ex-girlfriend's abilities after breaking up!

"Being four years older isn't a big deal!"

As the saying goes, "A woman three years older than a man is like holding a gold brick; a woman four years older is like holding more than one gold brick!"

"Exactly, if we're really going to get married, she's a girl from the entertainment industry~"

"Don't be prejudiced; it's all about the person!"

"Well, Xiao Bei is only 19 now, there's no rush to get married, she's not even of legal age yet!"

"Yes, let's see how things go first!"

......

Mingbei was unaware that his parents were investigating Liu Shishi's background. After their conversation, he went to sleep.

After all, the exam starts the day after tomorrow, so I still need to review tomorrow; the task is quite heavy.

But it's no big deal that I found out; it was bound to happen sooner or later anyway.

Moreover, if business cooperation is to be carried out, background checks must be performed diligently.

He's currently capitalizing on the favorable period before Liu Shishi's meteoric rise to fame; her endorsement fees aren't high at this stage.

For Orange Mobile, once the series airs and generates attention and response, Liu Shishi will rise to the top tier, and her influence will naturally expand.

The exam went relatively smoothly, with nothing particularly difficult.

After finishing the theoretical exam, Mingbei hurriedly rushed back to Hengcheng.

He wasn't involved in the practical aspects later on, such as the performance.

Generally speaking, the so-called performance is only to test the acting skills of performing arts students.

But Mingbei went to the film crew to actually act, and the experience he had was incomparable to these simple performances, so there was no need for it at all.

Moreover, the Shanghai Theatre Academy is not as strict as other art schools; freshmen can take leave to go out and act.

Given that the production team Mingbei is involved in is quite well-known, it's normal for them to give him the green light.

Mingbei rushed back to the Hengcheng film crew, sorted out his thoughts, and quickly immersed himself in acting.

He has quite a few scenes, so it wouldn't be good if he missed too many.

According to the filming schedule, although Mingbei may finish filming ahead of schedule, it will not be much different from the final wrap-up.

Furthermore, the crew is not only filming in Hengcheng, but also needs to film in other locations later.

Therefore, we need to focus on filming the scenes inside the palace walls first, and then consider the filming requirements for other locations.

On his first day back on set, Mingbei had one thing to do.

Shaving.

To film such scenes in the Qing Dynasty, one must be bald and then have a braid tied at the back.

This young man was full of vitality. After only a few days back, a thin layer of stubble grew on Mingbei's originally bald head.

If you don't shave it off, it will be very noticeable and look out of place overall.

This is also part of the makeup and costume, and it must be historically accurate.

Of course, the braids in Hong Kong Island in the past were different from those now. Back then, people could grow hair in the front, which was done according to their own needs, so they didn't need to be bald.

There is another way, if you really want to keep your hair.

One way is to first wear a wig to cover your original hair, and then attach a wig.

This would seem a bit abrupt, and viewers might feel a bit pulled out of the story.

But in their film crew, all the male actors had to shave their heads; no one was an exception.

"So, how's it going? Hope you can get first place in the final exams?"

I was shaving when I heard a sound behind me.

Raising an eyebrow, he saw Yuan Hong walking over to him with a smile.

As an alumnus, he was quite familiar with the rules of the Shanghai Theatre Academy and knew that Mingbei's return this time was basically just a formality.

"Brother Yuan, you're doing this on purpose, aren't you?" Mingbei pouted.

"Given my situation, is it possible for me to get first place in the final theory exam?"

"You're seriously belittling the hard work and dedication of my classmates!"

"No, don't talk nonsense," Yuan Hong waved his hands repeatedly upon hearing this.

"Everyone here is very capable, so does my saying this mean I have high hopes for you?"

"Brother Yuan, your judgment isn't very good; you misjudged me!"

"Hahaha!"

Hearing this, everyone around couldn't help but laugh!

People say they have high hopes for you, but you say they're wrong. Who belittles themselves like that?

"Oh, right," Zheng Jiaying, who was getting her makeup done, suddenly spoke up after a laugh.

"Mingbei, roughly when did you wrap up filming?"

Although Mingbei is also an important character, his screen time is relatively less than that of Liu Shishi and the Fourth and Eighth Masters.

If filming wraps up, it will be a little earlier.

"According to the established schedule, it should be around February!"

At this moment, Mingbei recalled the arrangements in the plan. If all went well, he would have about a month left before finishing filming.

The entire production will wrap up in March.

The filming of a TV series generally doesn't take too long.

Because the cost increases dramatically with each additional day of filming.

In terms of location shooting, both outdoor and indoor scenes are relatively easy to handle and won't present any major challenges.

Moreover, the university in Hengcheng provided them with excellent scenery this year, adding a lot of color to the storyline.

They have now been filming for almost two months, and the overall filming schedule is more than halfway through.

If there are no unforeseen circumstances, then filming should wrap up in March or April without any problems.

Mingbei's scenes are relatively few, so filming can naturally wrap up earlier after it's finished.

"What are the plans next?" Zheng Jiaying pressed.

Do you have any plans to take on another role?

"Not at the moment," Mingbei shook his head.

"As you all know, I'm all alone now; I don't even have a manager or assistant!"

"I haven't received any other film offers yet..."

His selection by the production team was, in itself, an accident.

In terms of actual brand recognition, it's still far from being well-known; not many people know about it.

Furthermore, he is still a freshman, a true newcomer.

Most film crews wouldn't take this risk.

Of course, if it's just about having been a special guest or something, then that's still possible.

But right now he's focused on filming "Scarlet Heart" and doesn't have much interest in contacting other production teams or actively showcasing himself.

"A director is preparing a movie," Zheng Jiaying said after a moment's thought.

"There's a role in it, a villain, but the requirements are that the actor has to be rather..."

He waved his right hand, his face full of struggle, as if he was trying to think of a word to describe it.

The two were communicating in Mandarin at the moment. Mingbei noticed this and shook his head with a smile.

"If all else fails, you can describe it in Cantonese..."

However, after hesitating for a while, Zheng Jiaying finally managed to explain it in Mandarin.

"It needs to have a captivating charm, maybe even a touch of allure!"

Ok?

These words left the others present somewhat puzzled.

Han Dong clicked his tongue in amazement, "Wait, are you referring to a male character?"

"Of course," Zheng Jiaying nodded.

"Because of the specific requirements of the role, after hearing my friend's explanation, Mingbei was the first person I thought of!"

"After all, he's rather alluring!"

Mingbei's face darkened. "Brother, I think you still don't fully understand some of these words. You can't just use them carelessly!"

"Ha ha ha ha!"

After the laughter subsided, everyone pressed for answers.

"Who exactly is that production team with the bewitching and alluring characters?!"

"The Four Great Constables, directed by a Hong Kong director!"
