I'm a professional villain actor; my fans are begging me not to kill them.

The character Li Linfeng is so bad that even a dog wouldn't play him.

"Action!" Director Wu shouted with full force, sweeping away his previous dejection.

The entire crew sprang into action, filming scene by scene.

"Bai Ye, it's your turn soon!"

With the director's command, Bai Ye, playing Li Linfeng, officially made his entrance.

He had to haggle with the sugar daddy, and portray the greed and snobbery of a petty person.

The filming has only just begun, and the director has already started cursing.

"Click! What's going on in your head? Is this how you bargain?"

"What kind of look is that? You're haggling, not trying to kill the boss!"

"Depend on!"

"With that expression, would the boss dare to hire you?"

Director Wu's blood pressure spiked, and he became so angry that his face turned red and his neck bulged.

Bai Ye looked dejected. "I'm sorry."

He had no acting training, and his actions and expressions were all tailored for a criminal role, so his acting was naturally a mess.

Director Wu sighed, "Let's start over!"

At this moment, Yang Jingjing timidly raised her hand, "Director, how about letting him try the debt collection scene first?"

The director was taken aback. "What's the difference?"

Yang Jingjing let out a soft "uh," looking at him with an expression that suggested she didn't know how to describe it. "He's quite good at playing criminals."

Director Wu thought for a moment, then glanced at the dejected Bai Ye, and waved his hand, "Alright, let's shoot the next scene directly."

Bai Ye glanced at Yang Jingjing gratefully and said, "Thank you. I'll definitely kill you properly when the time comes."

"Action!"

At the director's command, Bai Ye reappeared.

In the dimly lit room, Boss Zhu was nervously packing his luggage. He was a gambler who had borrowed a large sum of money at exorbitant interest rates to gamble on football, and unsurprisingly, he lost.

The business of loan sharking is all about lending money when things are going well and taking it away when it's raining.

He borrowed money from Brother Huo, but if he didn't pay it back, Brother Huo would make sure he couldn't survive.

Just as he finished packing his things and was preparing to run away, someone walked into the room.

"Why."

Boss Zhu was startled and stood up to look at the person who had come in.

"Who?"

"What do you want?"

In the dim light, he saw a tall but hunched-over man with a disheveled appearance, and Boss Zhu became very nervous.

"Collect the debt." The tone was casual, like greeting a friend on the street.

Upon seeing this man's appearance, Boss Zhu knew he was not someone to be trifled with, and he earnestly advised him to wait a few days.

Bai Ye sighed, a sigh that made one's heart tighten.

With a fawning expression, Boss Zhu pulled out a cigarette. "Brother, have a smoke. Don't complain about the quality."

Bai Ye ignored him and instead took out a pack of cigarettes, which he had borrowed from the stage manager.

He slowly pulled out a cigarette, tore off a bit of the filter, tossed the filter on the ground, lit the cigarette, and put the butt in his mouth.

He took a deep breath, the smoke swirling around him, and the flash of the lights outside the window made his face even more indistinct, making him look like both a human and a ghost.

Director Wu's mouth dropped open. This wasn't a scene he had taught Bai Ye; it was something he improvised himself.

Originally, this scene was supposed to be about Li Linfeng demanding payment from Boss Zhu to highlight his ruthlessness. However, the script didn't specify how ruthless he was, nor did the director.

The director has to teach you everything; he'll be exhausted.

Shouting, glaring fiercely, and hitting people right away—that's all normal.

Bai Ye's actions caused a chorus of gulps and swallowing sounds on set.

That's insane! What kind of good person would smoke like that?!

He's obviously a pervert!

Boss Zhu thought so too. He nervously swallowed and stood in front of him without daring to move, as obedient as a quail.

I'm good!

He had expected Bai Ye to yell and shout to intimidate him, or glare at him fiercely, or have a menacing expression; he was somewhat prepared for that.

But at this moment, faced with Bai Ye smoking in the opposite direction, he was genuinely a little flustered.

The rumors were true; this person is a real psychopath.

Boss Zhu didn't dare to breathe loudly, and kept trying to flatter and please him. The feeling of tension and fear he had was simply unbearable!

"Great! Great!" The director clapped his hands excitedly. "Bravo! Let's get one more take!"

Everyone initially thought the scene wouldn't go smoothly, but it turned out to be surprisingly good.

The director even patted the actor playing Boss Zhu, saying, "Well done!"

Boss Zhu: "..."

Actually, I wasn't acting; I was genuinely scared!

But can you say that? Of course not!

"Bai Ye, did you used to be a debt collector?" Boss Zhu asked after thinking for a moment.

Bai Ye: "...No!"

Boss Zhu looked incredulous, while Yang Jingjing laughed and joked.

After filming another take, Bai Ye continued filming the next scene.

He had a cigarette dangling from his lips and groped around on Boss Zhu's body, as if looking for something valuable. Boss Zhu was incredibly timid and cooperated with whatever he wanted.

It's just looking for your wallet, here you go, it's been empty for ages.

Bai Ye glanced at him indifferently, as if looking at pork on a chopping board, and said calmly, "These two kidneys of yours, each worth two hundred thousand, right?"

Boss Zhu almost peed his pants. "Damn it, you can even cut kidneys?"

"No, no, big brother, I'll go borrow the money, okay?"

Boss Zhu was almost in tears; his grievances and fear were overwhelming!

Then his underlings came in, and seeing Bai Ye's disheveled appearance, they arrogantly provoked him.

Bai Ye suddenly knocked his underling down with a punch, then grabbed an ashtray and smashed it against him.

One, two, three...

Blood splattered on Bai Ye's face, but he still gave a sunny smile.

That smile is warm and innocent; he's a sunny and cheerful young man.

If he weren't hitting someone, if he weren't covered in blood, he would definitely be a warm person.

Boss Zhu had already instinctively hidden behind the chair.

The director swallowed hard once more.

That's really perverted.

After beating up his underlings, Bai Ye felt his hands were sticky, so he casually wiped the blood on the banner. Boss Zhu was incredibly honest.

Weak, helpless, and pitiful.

"Click!"

The director was very happy. Bai Ye was the best actor he had chosen. If you asked him to play something else, it would be impossible not to reshoot several times.

The scene where Bai Ye was haggling with the boss was so bad it was almost unbearable to watch. They filmed it several times, and the other actor was completely exasperated.

He acted like he was about to kill the boss during a perfectly normal negotiation, so what's the point of negotiating?

But if you let him commit a crime, wow, he's like a completely different person.

That's how someone can learn without a teacher; just like that scene from earlier, it was absolutely brilliant!

It doesn't seem like acting!

Look how scared Boss Zhu is, he's still not back to his senses.

"Take a break, everyone, slow down." Director Wu clapped his hands, and the rest of the people all ran off in a flash.

"Holy crap! That scared the hell out of me!"

"It startled me so much that my camera lens shook."

"That's so perverted!"

"Jingjing, you're amazing! You recognized Bai Ye's talent at a glance!"

"Old Zhang, your acting was phenomenal today!"

"Hey, not at all, just playing normally."

"It's so good to be alive and see the sun."
