“As an actor, the most important thing is to have a sense of conviction. If you don’t even believe in this kind of love in the world, how can you make the audience believe in it?”

Gu Linyan had some understanding of Yun Xi, so he did not talk about those boring theoretical knowledge. Instead, he tried to express it in a way that she could understand.

As for whether she could understand it or not, that would depend on Yun Xi herself.

“A lover who can’t even be sure of her identity, is it really worth it?”

Yun Xi did not answer directly, but the confusion in her eyes still revealed her thoughts.

This question seemed to have stumped Gu Linyan. He was silent for a very long time. Halfway through, he even got up and walked to the window to take a look at the scenery outside.

They were both in their twenties, so who had ever experienced any unforgettable love?

Yun Xi usually had to take care of herself and Yun Huai. Other than Qi Chen, she had never liked someone else. Gu Linyan was no better either. In the entertainment industry, how many people would trade their true feelings for their true feelings?

“There’s never a single answer to the question. You’re the female lead. You just have to do what you want the audience to see. There’s no need to always seek advice from others.”

“Understood.” Yun Xi nodded. Just as she was about to get up and pack her things, she suddenly thought of another matter. “Oh! I remember now. There’s another question. The director asked me to ask Teacher Gu if you have any habits…”

“What do you mean? Eating habits? I don’t eat coriander.”

Gu Linyan did not think too much of it. He just gave a perfunctory reply and clicked on the game on the screen.

“No, we’ve talked about it before. It has something to do with tomorrow’s scenes. The director was afraid that I wouldn’t be familiar with it, so he asked me to ask you in advance.”

“What scenes can there be tomorrow? Isn’t it the same as today’s shoot…”

Halfway through his sentence, Gu Linyan suddenly remembered the messy bed on the set and the Mole on Yun Xi’s back. He seemed to understand what the director meant.

“Don’t ask about such things. I will adapt to the situation on my own. When the time comes, just follow me. It’s getting late. You should hurry back!”

Gu Linyan’s face turned red and he hurriedly raised his hand to push Yun Xi out of the room.

His actions were done in one go. By the time Yun Xi reacted, she was already standing outside the main door. There was only the familiar wooden door in front of her.

Suddenly, a smile appeared on her face.

“Teacher Gu, thank you for your guidance today. Goodnight.”

“Hurry up and leave! Don’t waste your time here!”

That night, Yun Xi had a good sleep, which she had not had for a long time. She did not open her eyes until the alarm went off.

With the audition yesterday, Director Zhao had a general understanding of the problems between them. He also made appropriate adjustments to the scene and was very dedicated to his work.

Of course, Yun Xi did not let down everyone’s efforts. The first half of the shoot was successfully completed after only one use.

However, when it was time to help Gu Linyan undress, her hands did not obey her no matter how hard she tried.

“Director, why don’t we pause for a while? I’m a little tired.”

Gu Linyan looked at her trembling fingertips and ultimately did not continue. He turned around and called for the filming to stop.

“That’s good too. Let’s all stop and take a break. We’ll continue after fifteen minutes.” Director Zhao immediately understood what Gu Linyan meant.

Yun Xi retracted her hand and sat on the bed dejectedly, like a withered flower. All the prosperity in the outside world had nothing to do with her.

“There’s no need to be so nervous. We’ve already done well up front. In a while, I’ll get the director to send the other staff away. You just have to follow my rhythm.”

Gu Linyan’s voice came from beside her ear, calming Yun Xi down a lot..
