"So, this time you not only had time to give a group of fans an acting lesson, but you also gained Qu Kangcheng's approval and received an invitation to participate in an international competition?"

Liu Rulan was also amazed by Xiao He's ability to find himself a job.

Xiao He shrugged, looked at Liu Rulan again, and said helplessly, "If we have to talk about this, it all started at the birthday party when you asked me to perform 'Twelve Mirrors,' right?"

Liu Rulan: "Uh, it seems that's true..."

"So, after a year, is the top agent still making a strong comeback?"

Xiao He joked.

Liu Rulan had no intention of taking credit. Who would have thought that the performance at the birthday party would affect things a year later? She couldn't possibly have planned that.

However, it seems that she has good luck with her bets so far, and Xiao He is also quite capable.

Liu Rulan chuckled, signaling to the driver, Lao Qi, to start the car, and then turned to him and said, "Instead of worrying about this, you should focus more on tomorrow's filming arrangements. As for the two invitations that follow, I will handle the coordination for you first. I will also check the script first, and if I think it's good, then I'll give it to you."

This script review is not just a simple reading; it also includes a series of assessments, such as risk assessment and value assessment.

Xiao He only had to consider whether to accept or not, but they had many more things to consider.

Therefore, this workflow is a mutually agreed-upon result of cooperation.

"Okay, I understand."

Xiao He then stopped talking about the matter.

...

Although it was just a private trip, there was no doubt that Xiao He's entourage today was still a bit too much.

The group of students I met at the National Theatre were all very promising and outstanding students of Peking Opera. Most of them had the goal of entering the entertainment industry in the future, so it was a very worthwhile thing to do to make a name for themselves in the industry by taking advantage of Xiao He's fame. Moreover, a large part of them were already Xiao He's fans.

How could they not share the joy of successfully meeting their idols online?

So, almost as soon as Xiao He was preparing to give a lecture in the practice room, news of his visit to the theater had already spread across the internet.

If the atmosphere weren't so serious and there weren't teachers watching, some bolder students wouldn't mind livestreaming during class.

Unfortunately, the idea of ​​live-streaming classes ultimately failed.

After the course ended, what circulated on the internet were mostly just clips of the lectures, not the complete live broadcast.

But for fans who didn't see it in person and were hearing about Xiao He giving a public lecture for the first time, this was already enough to excite them.

In the video clip, the young man is dressed very casually, but his expression is very serious. With the clothes he wears underneath, he really looks like a young university teacher.

Most of the content disseminated focused on his performance of replicating "The Twelve Mirrors".

While in reality, multiple personality switching is not that rapid, the art form amplifies a particular element and showcases its enigmatic charm.

So when everyone witnessed Xiao He's seamless character transformation up close once again, they still felt a sense of dread, as if they were watching a ghost possess him.

Yes, this was one of the main reasons why Xiao He's "Twelve Mirrors" became a hit on foreign websites.

The struggle between personalities and the distortion of the inner world make the audience feel as if they are witnessing several souls fighting and vying for possession of the same face.

It's no wonder that some foreign netizens insist that Xiao He is a mysterious Taoist master who is holding a terrible sacrificial ceremony to invite ghosts to possess him.

What's even more terrifying is that, a year later, when watching Xiao He's performance in the practice room again, some observant people noticed that Xiao He's acting skills had improved to a whole new level.

—The previous personality switching performances required stage lighting and sound effects, and it was only with the dual effects of sight and sound that his switching became smooth and fluid, adding more mystery and eeriness.

However, Xiao He no longer needs the support of lights and sound effects.

He simply sat down, and a performance comparable to stage effects officially began.

The same silky smoothness, the same mystery, the same breathtaking beauty—in just one year, he has already undergone a transformation in a different sense.

More mature, more reserved, and more intimidating.

However, their discovery came too late, because this visible growth rate not only alarmed those in the industry but also astonished countless passersby and fans.

【At first, I thought it was just fan bias, but it turns out he's genuinely improved.】

【As a complete bystander, I initially thought, "Xiao He himself isn't that old, what could he possibly teach students? I was just going to let him awkwardly read astronomy from a PowerPoint presentation again." But after watching this performance, I realized how naive I was.】

【Just when you think Xiao Ge has done enough, he goes even further. He's so hardworking, I'm so moved.】

【So, Haji, are you still honing your acting skills? Winning two Best Actor awards last year wasn't enough; what if you manage to win a grand slam?】

【I originally thought that stage performance a year ago was impressive enough, but it wasn't until this back-to-basics performance in the practice room that I realized Xiao He was already amazing a year ago, and now he's even more amazing than ever.】

【Holy crap! What did Xiao Ge eat to grow so much in the past year? How did his acting skills improve so dramatically?!】

【It's dawn in the Chinese entertainment industry, are you all still sleeping? If not, get up and sign up for a class! I think Brother Xiao's acting class is pretty good; he teaches really well! Although listening to Brother Xiao's class and contorting my face in front of the mirror for a while made my mom think I was crazy, isn't that a kind of success?】

【Haha, I really can't hold it in anymore, Brother Xiao will teach you how to quickly become a lunatic...】

In fact, Xiao He himself was somewhat surprised by the improvement in his acting skills.

"Huh? Really?"

Xiao He scratched his head, carefully recalling his work these past few days, ★ 𝐍𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 ★ and realized that he hadn't really taken any time to hone his acting skills.

But you know what, maybe it's because he's played more different types of roles and seen more of the world, but acting seems to have become easier for him, and he doesn't even need any external help anymore.

If I rely solely on myself, perhaps there won't be any major difficulties...

However, compared to the discussion about Xiao He's acting skills, netizens, who always seem to veer off-topic, quickly focused on something else—

【So these people can now openly call themselves Xiao He's students? Damn it! Is it too late for me to take the Peking Opera entrance exam?】

【I'm also quite curious, who is that handsome young man standing next to Brother Xiao on the podium?】 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

【His name seems to be Yang Heng. He's the principal dancer of the National Theater's Youth Troupe, an incredibly talented young man! If I remember correctly, he played the highly acclaimed young general, Emperor Chen.】

【Wow, so this is a once-in-a-century collaboration? A powerful alliance between the young Emperor Chen and the mature Emperor Chen?】

【Speaking of which, Brother Xiao should be joining the crew tomorrow, and we won't be seeing him for a long time, sigh.】

"well--"

Outside the comments section, Xiao He also began to sigh.

"I'm joining the crew tomorrow... These guys seem to know my schedule inside and out."

However, there's nothing that can be done about it; at least it doesn't affect their work.

"So, are you finally going to become emperor?"
