Even after being reborn, you're still in the entertainment industry?

Chapter 157 With such an upright appearance, why is he playing the Golden Snake Swordsman?
Because Sheng Yunxuan was only making a guest appearance for Big Beard's group, he didn't have much time.

In addition, Sheng Yunxuan is no longer the small actor he used to be. He is even considered the biggest star among the actors in the entire "Sword Stained with Royal Blood" crew, so the crew naturally had to give him priority.

On his first day officially joining the crew, Sheng Yunxuan arrived at the set early for his costume fitting.

Sheng Yunxuan's appearance does fit the characteristics of the Golden Snake Swordsman: handsome, dashing, and charming with a captivating smile, enough to make many women fall for him.

The only drawback is that it's not wickedly charismatic enough!

The makeup artists on set tried very hard to give Sheng Yunxuan a "wicked" look, but unfortunately the effect was not good!

After makeup, Sheng Yunxuan's eyebrows became thin and long with an upward curve, his lips were thin, and his eyes looked more deep-set with high brow bones after the eye makeup.

Looking at his facial features alone, Sheng Yunxuan, after makeup, actually has a very strong sense of evil charm.

But for some reason, when they are put together, they still give people a warm and gentle feeling, and unconsciously make people feel close to them. They look like upright and dignified people at first glance!

The makeup artist on set was completely stunned and at a loss.

Using this image to portray the wicked and arrogant "Golden Snake Swordsman Xia Xueyi" is utterly unconvincing.

It's a bit like future fantasy dramas, where after a character turns evil, they just change into black and red clothes and put on dark eyeshadow—it's all so absurd...

In the end, it was the bearded man who realized that Sheng Yunxuan's "acting skills" were quite impressive, and that he gave off a completely different vibe during filming and in everyday life, and he said directly:

"Let's just go for it like this. Once Sheng Yunxuan gets into the zone, there won't be any problems!"

Upon hearing this, the makeup artist finally breathed a sigh of relief...

Zhang Dahuzi had worked with Sheng Yunxuan before and knew that he needed a transition period to get into character.

This gentle demeanor is perfect for filming the scene where Xia Xueyi deceives the devoted He Hongyao.

To be honest, Xia Xueyi, the Golden Snake Swordsman, is really not a positive character.

Driven to extremes by his desire for revenge, he deceived He Hongyao, swindling her out of her money and stealing the Golden Snake Sword and the treasure map, causing the young woman to suffer torture and ruining her life...

Before filming, Zhang Dahuzi repeatedly confirmed with Sheng Yunxuan whether he was afraid of snakes and whether he could accept catching snakes with his bare hands.

In the script, Xia Xueyi deliberately gets bitten by a snake so that He Hongyao can save him, thus setting a trap for the girl.

Later, netizens summarized similar scenarios and learned lessons such as not picking up unconscious men on the roadside...

Normal people are a little afraid of snakes, and Sheng Yunxuan is no exception.

But since this is their profession, and the snakes aren't poisonous and won't actually bite, they can overcome the psychological barrier.

Sheng Yunxuan agreed and quickly finished filming the scene.

This scene is all about playing the good guy. With the "Heavenly Radiance" attribute enabled, Sheng Yunxuan doesn't need to act at all. Who wouldn't think Sheng Yunxuan is a good guy?
Therefore, filming this was naturally very easy, and we got it right in one take!

[The fourteenth life simulation begins again!]

【…】

"You are Xia Xueyi, born into a wealthy family in Jiangnan. From a young age, you never lacked for food or clothing. Your parents were loving, your siblings were harmonious, and you were doted on by the whole family!"

["Unfortunately, because of the family heirloom, the Wen family of Quzhou, Zhejiang, 'Shiliang faction,' coveted it, gathered men, broke into your home, stole the heirloom, and killed your parents, brothers, and sisters..."]

"You witnessed your family being slaughtered and humiliated, yet you miraculously survived. From that young age, you swore a blood oath to avenge your family at all costs!"

"Filled with hatred, you abandoned your conscience and resorted to all sorts of despicable means to increase your power."

"During this time, you set your sights on the Five Poisons Sect's most treasured artifacts: the Golden Serpent Manual, the Golden Serpent Sword, and the Golden Serpent Cone. So you went to great lengths to get close to He Hongyao, the sister of the Five Poisons Sect leader, and exploited her affection for you to steal these treasures."

"Having obtained the item, you abandoned He Hongyao without hesitation and left alone. Even though you knew the cruel punishment she would face, blinded by hatred, you resolutely departed!"

"Having obtained the secret manual and the precious sword, you have mastered martial arts and now call yourself the Golden Snake Swordsman, officially embarking on your path of revenge."

"Having abandoned all conscience and kindness, driven solely by revenge, your heart has been completely consumed by hatred. You disregard the rules of the martial world, vowing to 'kill fifty members of the Wen family and defile ten women of the Wen family!'"

Driven by revenge, you combined your wisdom, poison skills, and cunning tactics to become a peerless master of the evil path in the martial arts world. No one in the Wen family was your match; you slaughtered dozens of them, leaving the entire family living in constant fear.

"To humiliate the Wen family, you kidnapped Miss Wen Yi. However, Wen Yi's kindness and gentleness touched you, and the two of you gradually developed feelings for each other."

"In her presence, you showed your gentleness. To cheer her up, you carved small wooden toys for her, found chicks and ducks to sing to her, and forgave the Wen family on her behalf..."

"But at this point, the Wen family was determined not to let you go. To deal with you, they feigned agreement to the marriage, but then poisoned you on the wedding day, severing your tendons."

"Because they coveted the treasure map on your person, the Wen family didn't kill you directly, which gave you a chance to escape."

"However, you will eventually have to pay the price for your past transgressions. After escaping, you encountered He Hongyao, who came for revenge. Your legs were broken, and you were imprisoned in a cave on the cliff of Mount Hua."

"You left all your martial arts skills and the Golden Snake Sword here, biting Wen Yi's hairpin between your teeth, and finally died here."

"However, your legacy later helped Yuan Chengzhi achieve his own legend..."

[You, a man of both righteousness and wickedness, are a legend in the martial arts world, your life filled with tragedy, interwoven with revenge, love, and the grudges of the martial arts world. Although you are not the protagonist of "The Sword Stained with Royal Blood," in your own story, you are still the protagonist of your own…]

The fourteenth simulation has ended, achievement points increased by 280.

[Rewards available: "Simulated Memories" (10 Achievement Points required to view), "Golden Snake Martial Arts" (150 Achievement Points required), "Poison Techniques" (100 Achievement Points required), Character Attribute "Both Righteous and Evil" (150 Achievement Points required)...]

As usual, I redeemed the character entries, and after thinking about it, I also redeemed "Poison Skills". I didn't look at the other items in detail.

To be honest, martial arts skills alone are no longer of much use to Sheng Yunxuan, who is known as "proficient in all martial arts"...
