Another important point was that after her rebirth, her mentality had changed drastically. She became more stable, calm, and transparent. After she changed her way of looking at things, she went further on the path of acting.
Later on, she had many comprehension processes. Each comprehension reshaped her feelings as an actress, allowing her to adapt to different types of roles more easily. Her grasp of the details was more accurate, and her ability to control her body and facial expressions reached a new peak.
This was Lu Zhen’s journey of nurturing “comprehension” on the path of acting.
Professor Xu continued, “In essence, acting is also a form of learning, and getting into a university is another type of learning goal.
“What you need to do is to adapt to a new learning model and find the learning pattern. After reaching that level, I believe that the content of the exam will be easy for you to master. After all, the ordinary college entrance examination in the country is not that difficult.”
After hearing Professor Xu’s words, Lu Zhen felt that she had a new understanding. Thinking about it this way, it seemed that the exam was really not that difficult. As long as there was a way, no matter how difficult a goal was, it was not impossible to overcome it.
Lu Zhen wondered if she was being too arrogant. Before she came to visit Professor Xu, her goal was only to get into a key university.
“Professor Xu, I roughly understand.” Lu Zhen nodded, but her tone was still not so certain. “I’ll do my best, but I can’t guarantee the outcome.”
“It’s fine. The reason you can break through your previous understanding is because of your gains from this trip. By the way, are you going back to Beijing tomorrow?” Professor Xu asked.
“There’s no hurry for the time being. Do you have anything else to tell me?” Lu Zhen asked humbly.
“If you’re not in a hurry to go back tomorrow, I can take you to Newport University to take a look.” Professor Xu had a gentle smile on his face.
Lu Zhen was stunned for a moment before saying in surprise, “Really?”
Professor Xu smiled and nodded. The two of them quickly agreed on a time. The next day, Lu Zhen woke up early. When she arrived at the entrance of Newport University in a car, she saw that Professor Xu had already arrived.
Newport University usually did not allow students and teachers who were not from the school to enter. They could only enter for a few days a year. Moreover, they had to submit their applications in advance. The procedure was quite cumbersome.
If Professor Xu had not brought Lu Zhen in, Lu Zhen would not have had the chance to visit Newport University. The two of them entered the school and looked around as they walked. Every time they arrived at a symbolic place, Professor Xu would explain it to Lu Zhen in detail.
After walking around half the campus, Lu Zhen was worried that Professor Xu’s body would not be able to take it, so she suggested ending the tour.
“Professor Xu, if there’s a chance in the future, I’ll come to Newport University again. You don’t have to show me every place.”
“I don’t have the strength to bring you around the entire campus. Let’s go for a meal in advance. I have a colleague who happens to have the last class in the morning. Let’s listen in.”
When the two of them arrived at the cafeteria, there were not many students. Many students were flipping through books or wearing earphones with focused expressions. The food in the cafeteria included specialties from all over the world, as well as foreign specialties.
The two of them casually took something to eat. To Lu Zhen’s surprise, the food in the school cafeteria was not inferior to some five-star hotels she had been to.
After dinner, they walked past a lawn. The sun was shining brightly. Under the shade of a big tree, a few students were gathered together, as if they were discussing something. Everyone was very focused and serious. When they were discussing, everyone was engrossed. No one noticed Lu Zhen and Professor Xu walking past them.
The learning atmosphere in Newport University was very good. It seemed to be completely separated from the noisy, exaggerated, and utilitarian society outside. The pursuit of knowledge was the main theme.
This was something Lu Zhen had never felt in the entertainment industry. She couldn’t help but think: If her life hadn’t deviated from the track from the beginning, she should have studied step by step. If she worked hard, she might have been able to get into a very good university.
Then, she might also be sitting in the crowd under the tree. At the age of 20, her life had just begun and was still filled with the unknown.
Lu Zhen smiled and woke up from her longing. Although she did not live the life she had dreamed of, she had to take something one step at a time to manage her current life. She cherished everything she had now.
