If a pie falls from the sky, you might as well eat it.

Shen Shiqing immediately had an idea.

"I can play this role," Shen Shiqing said firmly and without hesitation.

"You?" The director took it as a joke. "You young actresses these days are still too green. This isn't a role you can play by just talking or crying."

“I said I could, so why don’t you give me a try, director? Besides, you don’t have a suitable actor right now, do you?” Shen Shiqing probed step by step.

She bet the director in front of her would agree; that's how it's written in novels.

As expected, the director waved his hand and agreed. Maybe it would actually work; let's take a gamble.

"Then hurry up and get your makeup done. We have to finish filming before 8 p.m."

The makeup artist quickly applied makeup to Shen Shiqing and dressed her up; everything went smoothly.

There's still some time before filming starts.

Shen Shiqing found the prop, which was the weapon used by Sun Erniang, the female demon in "Water Margin"—the willow leaf double swords.

Shen Shiqing picked up the twin swords and weighed them in his hand. He immediately felt that they were quite good and had some weight to them. It should be said that the props team was very serious.

Shen Shiqing found a quiet spot to warm up, then picked up the twin swords and practiced with them, gradually getting a feel for them.

She learns things very quickly, and besides, her martial arts skills were highly regarded in the film industry.

She is very confident in her abilities.

A few people scattered around watched in astonishment as Shen Shiqing wielded his sword with incredible agility, his two blades flashing and moving with effortless grace.

To be honest, the director didn't initially think Shen Shiqing was capable of the role; he was just trying his luck because he had no other choice. But as soon as Shen Shiqing appeared on screen, he knew she could definitely play the role, and bring it to life.

Shen Shiqing's makeup and styling perfectly match the description in the original work.

"She wore a bright red silk skirt, her face was covered in rouge and powder, her chest was open, revealing a peach-colored gauze waistband with gold buttons, her eyebrows were fierce and her eyes were menacing."

Shen Shiqing's eyes have indeed changed. Before, his eyes were watery and captivating.

Now, she is a completely different person from the Jin Cuilian who was just crying and gazing at the water.

She was already in the right state of mind and got straight into character even before filming started.

The director knew he had found the right person and immediately called "action." I felt like I had come back to life, and the previous lifelessness was completely swept away.

Shen Shiqing appeared in front of the camera, dressed in an exaggerated and bizarre manner, unkempt, and exuding a murderous aura.

Beneath this fierce image, she also possesses a touch of allure and shrewishness.

But when facing her lover, she reveals a tenderness she doesn't usually show.

Shen Shiqing wielded her twin swords with a heroic air about her, her movements fluid and graceful, each move displaying the aura of a female hero.

The entire fight scene was exhilarating, and Shen Shiqing thoroughly enjoyed himself.

It has indeed been a long time since she filmed action scenes, but it's not a big problem for her. There's no other reason than that she's used to it.

The director applauded after filming, and the crew members on set were amazed by Shen Shiqing's action scenes.

Shen Shiqing stepped off the stage, marking the end of today's program recording.

"You did a good job. I didn't expect you to be so capable." The director looked at Shen Shiqing and nodded approvingly.

"Thank you, director. It's just basic skills," Shen Shiqing replied calmly, as she was used to it.

The director asked the program assistant next to him to help take the double swords from Shen Shiqing's hands.

Shen Shiqing handed it over as well, since it was a prop from the production team and he couldn't take it home to practice, could he?

However, the quality is indeed quite good; I can buy it and practice more in the future.

With a clang, the program assistant lost his grip on the two knives, and both knives fell to the ground.

Shen Shiqing was stunned, the director was shocked, and the assistant panicked.

"It's nothing, it's nothing, my hand slipped, I just didn't catch it properly," the assistant explained awkwardly.

"Why don't I take it myself?" Shen Shiqing suggested.

"No, no need."

"Let me do it." Shen Shiqing picked up the two swords from the ground and walked into the prop room.

They left in a hurry, as if they were rushing to get off work.

After they left, the prop master approached the director.

"Director, where are the double swords I just put in the prop room? They're so heavy! I was going to use them in the martial arts studio later, not for filming. You need to be strong to use these swords in a scene!" the prop master said anxiously.

"How heavy is that knife?" the director asked.

"One handful weighs 25 jin, so two handfuls would weigh 50 jin."

"How many?"

"50 jin (25 catties)".

"..."

Assistant: "..."

Shen Shiqing: ?
