Liu Haizhen and Li Qingshan were taken to a spacious conference room.

After some introductions, Li Qingshan remembered one person – Li Donghui. This person could often be seen in various TV series and movies. He was the kind of top-notch supporting actor who followed the same path as Liu Haizhen, both shining brightly in supporting roles with their excellent acting skills.

Lee Cheong-san sat down next to Hyun Bin, since they had the most scenes together in this drama, and sitting together would make it easier to communicate and discuss.

"Hyun Bin, I'm counting on you to take care of me from now on," Lee Cheong-san said to Hyun Bin with a sincere smile after sitting down.

Hyun Bin didn't say much, he just smiled and patted Lee Cheong-san on the shoulder, everything was understood in this silent gesture.

Kim Sung-hoon came to the two of them, mainly to guide Lee Chung-san and help him fully familiarize himself with the various details and key points of the scene.

Li Qingshan listened very attentively, and his learning speed was astonishing.

"Wow, you learn so fast! Is this your first time acting?" Kim Sung-hoon watched Lee Cheong-san and Hyun Bin rehearse their lines for a while. Lee Cheong-san could basically memorize a page of lines after just a quick glance. His memory and comprehension were truly amazing.

"Director, I graduated with two degrees from Harvard, how could I be stupid?" Li Qingshan joked smugly, his confident demeanor making people chuckle.

Liu Haizhen, Lim Yoon-a, and Hyun Bin, who were standing nearby, were all amused by him. Hyun Bin found Lee Cheong-san to be an even more interesting person.

"You should have even less trouble with the practice this afternoon?" Kim Sung-hoon joked.

"If nothing unexpected happens, there shouldn't be any problems." Li Qingshan shrugged, appearing relaxed and confident.

During a break, Yoo Hae-jin took a few smokers to the smoking room, only to find that Hyun Bin was also smoking.

Seeing Lee Cheong-san's surprised expression, Hyun Bin mimicked Lee Cheong-san's tone and said, "I'm a man, is it strange that I smoke?"

"I thought only vulgar people like us smoked." Lee Cheong-san had finally witnessed Hyun Bin's humorous side.

"Hey, just say what you want to say, but don't drag me into it." Liu Haizhen was speechless upon hearing Li Qingshan's words and rolled his eyes.

These few jokes instantly shortened the distance between the men, and the atmosphere became more harmonious and relaxed.

"Brother Donghui, I watched '1988,' it's a great TV series." Li Qingshan really did watch "1988" completely.

"Just lucky," Li Donghui replied modestly.

Li Qingshan really liked the acting styles of Li Donghui and Liu Haizhen; they brought those ordinary people to life so vividly, which was particularly interesting.

His role in this movie is somewhat like a cameo; he doesn't have many scenes.

They ate lunch together in the company cafeteria. The food was very ordinary, and Li Qingshan felt nauseous. He felt that he had never eaten such vegetarian food even when he became a monk.

When Lin Yoona saw that he only ate a few bites and then stopped eating, she knew what was going on. He had become picky about food in China.

"Why don't you help me?" Li Qingshan pushed the food next to Lin Yun'er and looked at her expectantly.

As if she hadn't heard Li Qingshan's words, Lin Yoona picked up her plate without hesitation and left the table, keeping her distance. Actually, she had originally planned to eat a few bites before giving the plate to Li Qingshan.

Hyun Bin watched the interaction between the two from the side. Lee Cheong-san turned his head to look at Hyun Bin on the other side, and was about to speak when Hyun Bin also quickly picked up his plate, got up and left, as if he had made up his mind. He didn't even look at Lee Cheong-san.

"Give it to me, young people don't know how precious food is." Liu Haizhen took it voluntarily.

"Brother Haizhen, I love you." Upon hearing this, Li Qingshan felt as if he had heard heavenly music, and excitedly rubbed his fingers together to make a finger heart shape.

In the afternoon, the people who had action scenes came to a large activity room, and Yoona also came along with great interest.

The action team began to explain the action concepts of the film to Hyun Bin in detail.

Li Qingshan took off his jacket, did some stretching exercises seriously, and after warming up, he walked to the sandbag and pushed it. He felt the weight was okay, took two steps back and then suddenly stepped forward with a sharp front kick.

Upon hearing a loud "bang," Kim Sung-hoon and Hyun Bin instinctively looked in Lee Cheong-san's direction, only to see Lee Cheong-san kicking a sandbag so high that it flew up to the roof.

Many members of the action team were observing Li Qingshan, but his kick left them all stunned.

They had seen Li Qingshan's fighting videos and knew he was a good fighter, but they never expected him to be this good. If he kicked someone, wouldn't they be sent to the crematorium on the spot?

Lin Yoona kept her eyes glued to Li Qingshan from a distance. When she saw his cool kick, she thought it was just a cool move, but she didn't expect it to make such a big commotion.

"Cheongsan, come here for a second," Kim Sung-hoon called out, with action director Lee Myung-hee and Hyun Bin also nearby.

Li Qingshan heard someone calling him, turned around and saw that it was the director calling him, so he strode over.

"Director, what's wrong?" Lee Cheong-san looked at Kim Sung-hoon and Lee Myung-hee and nodded politely.

"Qingshan, you can't really fight in a movie! That kick of yours could cause a big problem." Li Mingxi exaggeratedly imitated Li Qingshan's earlier action, speaking with a tense and exaggerated expression.

"Teach me, what kind of effect do you want?" Li Qingshan scratched his head, looking like he was humbly asking for advice.

Seeing Li Qingshan's humility, Li Mingxi patiently began to teach him some of the action requirements and key points for filming.

"Okay, let's try it out. You start attacking me now, and you feel it. See if it's the effect you want." Li Qingshan clearly understood the director's requirements and wanted to verify it himself.

Li Qingshan and Li Mingxi began sparring, which was almost like a real fight. Li Qingshan parried Li Mingxi's various attacks quickly and accurately, and at the same time, Li Qingshan also launched a counterattack. A camera was recording this exciting scene.

"Alright, you can stop now." Li Mingxi lay on the ground, panting heavily. He had really used all his strength in that attack.

Li Qingshan seemed to be hitting hard, but he stopped when he hit the body.

Li Mingxi stood up, dusted himself off, and gave Li Qingshan a thumbs-up, "Great skill."

Li Mingxi appeared to have been badly beaten, but in reality, he wasn't injured at all. This seemingly intense but actually safe effect was exactly what they wanted.

"Qingshan, why don't you participate in the action design too? I found your moves just now to be excellent, and especially cool." Li Mingxi looked at the playback on the camera and warmly invited Li Qingshan.

"Sure, let's discuss it together then. Let's try to make the action scenes as perfect as possible." Li Qingshan nodded without hesitation. He also really wanted to make this movie a good one, after all, it was his first movie and it was of great significance.

"Cheongsan, thank you for your hard work." Kim Sung-hoon finally chimed in, though he rarely offered his opinion on matters of professional action.

Li Qingshan diligently instructed Li Mingxi during the afternoon training sessions, including routines and combat drills. He didn't need to train himself, but after watching for a while, Li Mingxi realized that Li Qingshan's suggestions would produce better results when filmed.

After discussing it with Kim Sung-hoon, Lee Myung-hee took the initiative to propose that Lee Chung-san be in charge of Hyun Bin's fight choreography, with their stunt team fully cooperating.

Li Qingshan used special combat techniques, his movements were swift, all aimed at vital points, and his methods were particularly stylish.

This already fits the character settings in the storyline perfectly, but the cost of action design and some supporting props has increased accordingly.

The director wanted this spectacular effect. He knew very well that there was nothing particularly novel about the plot, so he could only rely on the amazing action to attract the audience.

In the afternoon, they simulated a scene. Li Qingshan played the role of Hyun Bin, who watched intently from the side. Li Qingshan single-handedly defeated about ten people.

The onlookers and stunt performers spontaneously applauded enthusiastically after watching the scene. Director Kim Sung-hoon watched the replay of the action from several cameras and nodded in satisfaction.

He was so glad he invited Li Qingshan to participate; his actions were just too cool.

Lim Yoona stood with her arms crossed, watching as Lee Cheong-san, Lee Myung-hee, and Hyun Bin enthusiastically discussed the action sequences.

She watched intently as a group of people listened attentively to Li Qingshan's explanation. Li Qingshan was extremely focused at that moment. It's said that a focused man is the most handsome, and that's absolutely true.

"Make it more realistic. Don't just put on a show before you start. That looks too fake to me," Li Qingshan said earnestly to one of the stuntmen.

Hyun Bin listened attentively throughout the lecture and watched intently the entire time; he genuinely liked Lee Cheong-san's action style.

He particularly enjoys the feeling of immediately blocking and counterattacking the moment the opponent makes a move—it's swift, decisive, and exhilarating to watch.

Around 6 o'clock, Li Qingshan and Lin Yun'er prepared to leave work. From now on, they could come to the company for training every afternoon.

After saying goodbye to Hyun Bin and Yoo Hae-jin in the underground parking lot, Lee Cheong-san and Im Yoon-ah got into their car and went home.

Hyun Bin and Yoo Hae-jin watched as the two got into the same car, exchanged a glance, said nothing, and then got into their respective cars and drove away.

"You looked really handsome today. I loved the scene you just simulated. It's a shame you weren't the one to act it." Lim Yoona cupped her face in her hands, smiling as she looked at Lee Cheong-san with eyes full of admiration.

"What am I? I'm already incredibly lucky to be playing a villain." Li Qingshan gently touched Lin Yoona's face. "What do you want to eat tonight?"
