Chapter 187 – Extra 3 – Chu Mei Bo & Yun Chaoyi

The first time Yun Chao Yi saw Gu Mei was when she was 16 years old. At that time, she had already made her reputation by “Beating the drum and scolding Cao”.

Yun Chao Yi was born into a drama family. At the age of 11, she joined Jiang Lin, a famous troupe at that time. Although she was a woman, she performed the old man perfectly.

Yun Chao Yi hated those who under the guise of singing opera didn’t take Peking Opera seriously at all, so when she learned that popular actress Gu Mei was coming to learn opera, her first reaction was disgust.

Jiang Lin Guan was not very healthy at this time but still very arrogant. If he didn’t owe a favor, he would not allow Gu Mei to enter his door. So he left the teaching directly to Yun Chao Yi .

Yun Chao Yi was originally dissatisfied, but her teacher’s orders could not be disobeyed, so she could only hold her breath and wait for Gu Mei to come.

As the appointment time approached, the anger in Yun Chao Yi’s heart also accumulated more and more. In her opinion, it was a natural thing to do to respect her teacher and respect their way. Since Gu Mei has come to learn opera, she should have a correct attitude. It was the most basic thing to come in advance.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Yun Chao Yi stood up fiercely and was ready to walk away when she saw a touch of beauty.

Gu Mei appeared at the doorway.

She pushed her delicate curly hair, black hair and red lips. She was dressed in a bright red velvet cheongsam with mint color coat. She was gorgeous and exquisite, which immediately lit up the whole yard.

Several boys who were learning opera crowded and bustled, secretly watching her from the crack of the door.

Yun Chao Yi frowned even more when she saw this situation.

Gu Mei walked quickly with a smile on her face as she apologized: “I’ve been delayed for a while when I went out. I hope senior sister will forgive me for being late.”

Yun Chao Yi said coldly, “Don’t call me senior sister, I can’t afford it. Although master promised to accept you, there are rules in our school. If you don’t study opera seriously and insult our school in the future, we won’t recognize you.”

As soon as Gu Mei came, she was put down in such a way, but she didn’t get angry. Instead, she smiled softly: “All right, I will listen to my elder sister.”

Yun Chao Yi : “…..”

She must have done it on purpose!!

The two looked at each other for a moment, and each felt the hostility of the other.

Gu Mei stayed and would report to Jiang Linguan yard every morning before dawn, following Yun Chao Yi and others to learn basic skills.

Gu Mei didn’t expect that Jiang Lin Guan would teach her. If he wanted to teach such a novice as her, Jiang Lin Guan with his status in the industry, would become a laughing stock. But Jiang Lin Guan was not perfunctory either. Yun Chai Yi was his most proud disciple and the famous singer of Dongjiang city. She came to teach Gu Mei how to perform opera, which was regarded as attaching great importance to Gu Mei.

However, Gu Mei didn’t expect that, just after the first time, they would meet each other and they would become tired of looking at each other.

Yun Chao Yi paaid most attention to the foundation and believed that “one minute on stage equals ten years off stage”. However, Gu Mei clearly knew that she came here to prepare for the filming.

Yun Chao Yi hated the frivolity of Gu Mei, and Gu Mei hated the arrogance of Yun Chao Yi.

Both of them were the best in their fields, but they were at odds with each other.

Homever Gu Mei was after all several years older than Yun Chao Yi. In addition, she needed to deal with all kinds of people in the studio. She was far more sophisticated than Yun Chao Yi, often making Yun Chao Yi blush.

However, Yun Chao Yi was not vegetarian either. She was able to gain a foothold on the stage at a young age, relying on her ruthlessness. She didn’t care about Gu Mei’s identity at all. If Gu Mei sang wrong, she would be hit with a stick.

In the old days, it was only natural for the master to beat his apprentice. Many famous people on the stage were forged this way step by step with sweat and blood.

Gu Mei took the pain, but she did not cover up her emotion: “Yun Chao Yi, you know what I’m here to do! I don’t have time to dilly dally with you to learn these things. You teach me how to sing and I will go back early, and you won’t have to see my face all day long after you finish your job. Why not make the best of both worlds?”

Yun Chao Yi looked at her faintly: “If you take opera so lightly, it will be less likely I will teach you.”

Gu Mei: “What do you mean?”

Yun Chao Yi ignored her, but walked alone to the small stage in the courtyard and looked down at Gu Mei: “I know you learned a few tricks from junior brother the other day. You are really savvy and learn very fast, but…”

When Gu Mei listened to her first sentence, she was embarrassed of her poking through her private search for someone to learn the opera in private. But she was still a little happy after hearing it and asked eagerly, “Then how was it?”

Yun Chao Yi raised her eyebrow: “Still to far away”

Gu Mei: “…”

She folded her arms and said: “In that case, sing to me and let me know how far it is!”

Yun Chao Yi agreed without thinking about it.

When Yun Chao Yi started to sing the first sentence, Gu Mei was shocked.

She has been learning this for a while. If nothing else, at least she has been able to appreciate it. Naturally, she can hear how amazing Yun Chao Yi is.

Yun Chao Yi was famous for singing Lao Sheng. Who would have thought that she could also sing Tsing Yi! Not only she could sing but she also sang it so well!

Although Gu Mei was competitive, she was not a pretentious kind of person. As long as anyone can really convince her, she could also be convinced.

Now after listening to Yun Chao Yi, she also understood her own shallowness. Although she didn’t show it on her face, she was convinced.

After singing the last section, Yun Chao Yi stood on the stage with high spirits, her chin slightly raised: “Even if you learn to sing and learn posture, so what? You can’t even get on the stage.”
