The Best Actor Insists On Living With Me!

Chapter 277: Chapter 277 Dinner (3)
Just as he reached out, Xia Siyu suddenly turned around and saw his extended hand with a slightly odd expression, “What’s wrong?”

“Ah, it’s nothing.” Qin Baizhou quickly recovered, smiled a bit, and brushed away the stray hair on her shoulder, “Your hairstyle got a bit messy here.”

Xia Siyu made an “Oh” sound, not thinking much of it. As the car drove on, Qin Baizhou asked, “The scripts that Jingjing gave you last time, have you taken a liking to any of them?”

After thinking for a while, indeed, she had been given several scripts, including the sequel to her previous movie, “Still Young 2.” “Youth” was quite good actually, with modest investment but decent box office returns—less than two billion invested for a ten billion box office yield. The production company was particularly satisfied with Xia Siyu’s performance and hoped she would continue. The only issue might be that the salary wouldn’t be very high. Besides, the scriptwriting team had changed, but for this kind of urban comedy, they didn’t really need profoundly sophisticated writers; it was fine as long as there were no logical issues.

Movies often emphasize a series, where popularity is sometimes a matter of accumulation. After the first movie’s box office success, there would naturally be a group of fans, and even passersby might follow the new work because of the IP.

Relatively speaking, this one was comparatively better, it was just that the filming schedule clashed slightly with “Spring Light.” To be precise, this movie was supposed to start shooting in five months—if it conflicted with the schedule of “Spring Light,” she would have to choose “Spring Light.” Overlapping filming schedules were impossible; she hadn’t done it in many years.

“Let’s see if ‘Youth 2’ can adjust the schedule a bit, or maybe I can join a month later. When the time comes, I’ll focus on filming. I still prefer to shoot ‘Spring Light’”

Qin Baizhou’s smile disappeared for a moment but quickly returned, “Why do you like ‘Spring Light’ so much?”

“The script is very solid. Although Sun Wujiu hasn’t been in charge before, he has always followed Yu Fenfei. Many of Director Yu’s films were actually shot by him. I’ve seen the films directed by both Yu Fenfei and him, and I think they are pretty good. Besides, this time Director Yu isn’t just a name; he will also assist with the shooting.”

“But I still think it is a bit risky, after all, the film also requires prior experiential learning. Add filming to that, and half a year will be gone.”

“It’s not that it requires prior experiential learning; it’s that I want to experience it myself.” Although last night’s script reading was abruptly interrupted due to Bo Yan’s sudden hooliganism, the more she read the script, the more she felt the need to learn and experience.

Even though, in the script, her character is a teacher sent to support the bounds, having a more favorable background as a university student from a big city. But she still needed to study more about many historical facts and life details.

Her acting style was experiential, immersing herself into the characters and thinking from their perspective. If she didn’t understand what the character was going through, she couldn’t perform it well.

“But an actress’s career is precious. And you’re going to the Northwest, to a village to live through wind and rain, tumble in the dirt. To be honest, I’m also afraid that you can’t handle the hardship. Moreover, it’s too long a time, the pay isn’t much, the team looks alright but there’s no guarantee. I don’t recommend that you go.”

Xia Siyu turned around, her expression more serious than ever before, “I’m twenty-six this year, twenty-seven in a month, and it has been six years since I entered the industry. Six years in the business, and I still don’t have a work that represents me…”

“Who says you don’t have a representative work? Every one of your films sells well. Your popularity is your greatest work.”
