I, strive for the prosperity of the motherland! 【system】

Su Xing put away her flute and stood up. The wires slowly loosened, steadily sending her back to the ground.

Raindrops rolled down the patterns on the purple-gold flute, creating small round pits on the bluestone slab.

She turned to the side, and the lips behind her silver lips curved slightly, a faint yet captivating arc.

Her gaze fell lightly on the female protagonist, her voice clear and sharp, carrying the power to pierce through the rain: "The road is long and arduous, but if you keep going, you will reach your destination. As long as your heart remains steadfast, no one can cut off your path."

The female protagonist looked at her, her fingertips trembling slightly, and asked in a choked voice, "Thank you... thank you for saving me, young lady. May I ask your name?"

Su Xing raised her hand and gently brushed away the "raindrops" clinging to the hem of her clothes. She opened her lips again and slowly uttered a few words, "Zi Zhi, the Zi of purple, the Zhi of determination."

After saying that, she turned and stepped into the depths of the rainy alley.

Her dark purple robes blended into the rain and mist as she walked further and further away, leaving only the fading sound of a flute and a faint, lingering scent of sandalwood clinging to the heroine's hair for years.

The clapperboard slammed down with a "click"!

Director Lü shouted, "Cut! Perfect!"

The female lead's assistant and several staff members quickly stepped forward to hand towels and blankets to Su Xing and the female lead, and someone even brought them hot ginger and jujube tea.

The martial arts instructor's face showed an admiration that only an expert could understand: "The power, the movement, the rhythm—everything is on point! The arc of the body spin using leverage is simply textbook-level action! The wire work was used perfectly, without overshadowing the moves at all!"

Director Qin also excitedly said, "That close-up of the back view, the shot of raindrops sliding down the mask, can be cropped out and used as a poster!"

Yu Shengmo's eyes reddened slightly as she murmured, "That's the feeling. Zi Zhi's detachment and gentleness, Shen Dansha's despair and glimmer of hope, it's all there..."

The actress was still immersed in the scene; the trembling in her fingertips hadn't subsided. For a moment, she truly felt that Zi Zhi was standing right in front of her...

The crew was busy removing the wires and packing up the props.

Someone whispered, "Where did they find this actor? That spin he did just now was absolutely amazing!"

Someone chimed in, "The action scenes were truly amazing!"

Surrounded by the crowd, Su Xing removed his mask, revealing a pair of smiling eyes.

She raised her hand to brush away the crumbs on her hem, nodded slightly to the crowd, and her eyes still carried a hint of the aloofness and sharpness she displayed in the play.

Yu Shengmo snapped out of her daze and quickly ran to Su Xing, taking a towel from a staff member and helping her dry her hair.

"Go change your clothes quickly and dry your hair. You absolutely mustn't catch a cold!"

Su Xing reassured her, "Don't worry, I'm in good health and haven't been sick for several years."

After her rebirth, she was stronger than an ox, in excellent health, and had a great appetite.

"But you can't be careless, it's so cold outside! Go back and take a hot shower!" She would feel very guilty if Su Xing got sick because of helping her.

"Okay, I understand, I will."

Director Lü and Director Qin came over to congratulate Su Xing and the female lead on successfully completing these two scenes, and also to congratulate Su Xing on wrapping up filming.

Su Xing thanked him verbally, but found it amusing in his heart.

She joined the crew in the afternoon and finished filming that evening, experiencing what it's like to be a martial arts actress, which was indeed quite interesting.

Director Qin was still not giving up on Su Xing. "Ms. Su, if there's a suitable role for you in the future, we can work together again."

Su Xing politely declined, saying, "Once I start school, I'm afraid I won't have time to take on any more roles."

"Isn't Miss Su about to graduate?"

"After graduating with my bachelor's degree, I will probably continue my studies."

Director Qin felt a deep sense of regret. The youth of young actresses and actors in the entertainment industry is incredibly precious, and she wanted to continue her studies, not knowing how many more years it would take before she could graduate…

With such a great opportunity to enter the entertainment industry, why was she so foolish as to waste her youth on campus?

Although Su Xing did not intend to continue acting, he still exchanged contact information with Director Qin and the script supervisor.

The third part of the comic "The Spiritual Journey of Opera" is nearing its end.

In fact, since the comic began serialization, several companies have contacted the studio, wanting to buy the film and television rights.

After Su Xing, Zhang Xueyan, and Huang Wenwen investigated those companies, they all rejected them.

There's another important reason why they don't have a company they particularly like yet: they don't want to just sell the copyright and get a sum of money and be done with it.

"Huanxing Comics" must have a say in the development of this comic's IP and its adaptation into games and films. It will not accept drastic modifications or the purchase of copyrights.

However, although many of the copyrights for "Xi Yun Ling Tu" have not yet been sold, IP development has been put on the agenda, and film and television adaptation is only a matter of time.

Getting to know more directors and screenwriters in the entertainment industry now is a way to build connections; who knows, there might actually be opportunities to collaborate in the future.

Su Xing's clothes were still wet. After chatting briefly with Director Lü and Director Qin, he quickly went to change.

She was just a guest star in two scenes and didn't have a separate dressing room or changing room.

Since both scenes involved her acting opposite the female lead, the female lead allowed her to change clothes in her own room.

The female lead had already changed her clothes.

When she saw Su Xing come out after changing his clothes, she said, "Your action scenes are really good. It's a pity you're not in the entertainment industry..."

Su Xing laughed and said, "I learned martial arts at a martial arts school, so I'm okay at action scenes, but I'm definitely not good at other things. If there are more lines or I need to express myself, I can't handle it. I'm not cut out to be an actor."

After a pause, she added, "Your panic and longing in your eyes were so convincing that I got into character."

The female lead laughed, "You're too modest."

After getting a positive response from Su Xing, she breathed a slight sigh of relief.

If the entertainment industry really has another newcomer like her, she will be a formidable rival.

After all, the cake is only so big, and everyone wants to have a few more bites.

Su Xing removed his wig, dried his hair, greeted the female lead, and left the dressing room.

Yu Shengmo was waiting for her.

"Su Xing, thank you so much! You filmed those two scenes perfectly! And you got them in one take. Everyone thinks you're amazing!"

"It's alright." Su Xing smiled, her eyes crinkling. "If you keep praising me, I'll get arrogant."

Yu Shengmo said, "You should be proud!"

After chatting for a few minutes, Su Xing said goodbye to Yu Shengmo and returned to the film crew next door.

Ye Xitang had already changed her clothes and gotten ready, and was waiting to wake up.

She noticed that Bu Diu had excitedly stood up and was wagging its tail happily, so she turned her head and saw Su Xing walking towards her.

"Did you finish filming?"

Su Xing nodded, "Yeah, filming wrapped up smoothly."

They both laughed.

Ye Xitang said, "Let's go back."

Su Xing nodded: "Okay~"

Xiaoyue draped a coat over Ye Xitang's shoulders.

They greeted Director Qi and the others who were still on set, and then left "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" with Bu Diu.

On the way, Su Xing heard the system's electronic voice in his mind.
