Hua Baixian's weapon is an unsharpened dagger.

After Hu Ping directed the camera positions, he shouted, "Action!"

Hua Baixian stood there, stunned, not knowing what to do.

Hu Ping hurriedly interrupted, "Cut! What are you doing? Didn't you see the red light on the camera? Move into position and say your lines! Can't you even act?"

Hua Baixian said with a wronged expression, "I... I don't know where to go."

"You—" Hu Ping was about to get angry when he saw a figure walking towards Hua Baixian, and he quickly shut his mouth.

Hua Baixian looked at the man, who lowered his head with a guilty expression, tears welling up in his eyes.

Gu Liyan came up to her, raised his hand and patted Hua Baixian's head, saying, "Acting isn't that easy. If you can't transform yourself into another person, you can't bring yourself into the role."

Hua Baixian looked up at Gu Liyan, tears streaming down her face. She choked out her heart, "I used to be bad at everything when I worked, but now I want to do everything well. I hope I won't be a burden to you. Also, I want to be a woman worthy of you! Even if you don't like me, I want to help you as much as I can! But, but... I'm so useless!"

After saying that, Hua Baixian wiped away her tears with a wronged expression.

Gu Liyan raised his hand and hugged Hua Baixian to comfort her, "Don't cry. Actually, you are very beautiful. As long as you don't have experience, you can learn more."

Hua Baixian blinked her big, watery eyes at Gu Liyan and asked, "Really?"

Gu Liyan nodded. "Yes, I'm not a professional actor either, but as long as I put in the effort, I'll definitely be fine."

Hua Baixian asked timidly, "Then, can you teach me?"

Gu Liyan smiled. "If I teach you, how much tuition are you planning to pay me?"

Hua Baixian gritted her teeth and said, "If you teach me, I'll give you all my earnings from future films, not a single penny!"

Gu Liyan was taken aback, not expecting Hua Baixian to be so generous. Suddenly, he had a good idea and smiled, "Alright! Then I'll teach you!"

Gu Liyan glanced at Hua Baixian's script and explained to her from beginning to end some details to pay attention to, from small things like positioning to large things like joint movements.

Hua Baixian tested the positioning on set, and Gu Liyan nodded with a smile, then turned to Hu Ping and said, "Alright, we can start filming now."

Hu Ping swallowed hard and nodded awkwardly. "Then let's begin."

Hua Baixian walked slowly to the alley entrance with a solemn expression when suddenly several thugs jumped out and surrounded her.

Hua Baixian flicked her wrist, and her daggers blossomed into flowers. She coldly stared at the machine and said, "Release A-Ye, and I'll spare your lives!"

The thug was clearly taken aback, not expecting Hua Baixian to have such an impressive aura, and he forgot how to speak.

Gu Liyan spoke up from the side, "If you want to save people, leave your life behind!"

Hua Baixian's face turned cold. "Then don't blame me for being impolite!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Hua Baixian rushed towards a thug, so fast that she was only a blur. She circled behind the thug, and the dagger in her hand lightly sliced ​​across his neck. The thug's eyes widened and he fell straight down.

Then the second, the third, and finally all five fell to the ground. Hua Baixian, with her back to the camera, revealed her cold profile.

"Cut!" Hu Ping exclaimed excitedly, "Both the movements and the expressions were absolutely perfect!"

Hua Baixian breathed a sigh of relief, smiled, and approached Gu Liyan with an expression that seemed to be seeking praise.

Gu Liyan smiled and patted her head. "Having fun, huh?"

Hua Baixian excitedly waved the dagger in her hand and nodded, saying, "Yes! That was so exhilarating! I never thought I could take on five people at once!"

Gu Liyan couldn't help but laugh, turning to look at Hu Ping, "Did she pass?"

"It's approved! It's approved!" Hu Ping hurriedly said.

"When will filming begin?" Gu Liyan asked.

"As long as we find a suitable male lead, it will be fine," Hu Ping said.

Gu Liyan smiled and said, "Then let's start filming tomorrow afternoon. Give us the script then."

Hu Ping was stunned, looking at Gu Liyan in surprise. "Mo, Mo Li, you mean you..."

Gu Liyan's lips curled up slightly. "No one is more suitable to be the protagonist than me, isn't that right?"

Hu Ping excitedly extended his right hand, "Yes, yes, yes! It's a pleasure to cooperate with you!"

Gu Liyan smiled and extended her hand, "It's a pleasure to cooperate with you!"

Hu Ping turned around and excitedly shouted, "Mo Li has agreed to cooperate with us!"

Upon hearing Hu Ping's words, everyone cheered.

Seeing everyone's happy faces, Gu Liyan felt a warmth in his heart. It seemed like it had been a long time since he had felt such collective joy.

Hua Baixian tugged at Gu Liyan's sleeve. "Didn't you have other jobs? Why did you agree to this?"

Gu Liyan smiled and said, "What do you think?"

Hua Baixian blushed. "Is it because of me?"

Gu Liyan looked at Hua Baixian and suddenly revealed a fox-like smile. "You're overthinking it. I'm just training you so that I can have all your earnings in the future!"

"Huh?!" Hua Baixian looked at Gu Liyan in confusion.

"You might not know this, but every newcomer I've mentored has become famous. Didn't you just say that your salary would be mine?" Gu Liyan said with a smile. "Once you become a big star, all your salaries will multiply many times over!"

Hua Baixian's eyes widened, and then she said with a wronged expression, "Then, can you cover my food and lodging?"

Gu Liyan couldn't help but laugh out loud, and said meaningfully, "If you're obedient, I'll take care of it!"

Hua Baixian nodded hurriedly, "I'll listen to you! I'll do whatever you say!"
