This is the first ti Xia Siyu heard soone ntion her mother’s na on the show.
Although she had ntally prepared herself before, hearing others ntion her mother’s na in public on the program for the first ti still felt a bit novel.
However, she didn’t mind.
Initially, she entered the entertainnt industry because Qin Baizhou discovered her on the road as a star scout and offered her an olive branch. Back then, it was shortly after that incident when she broke up with Bo Yan, facing the first major challenge in her life.
When she was young, her mother never told her that she was a dancer and an actress. The spread of those photos back then was indeed quite sensational and considerably embarrassing, leading her to move to Italy and live under a pseudonym. Even though she lived in the Chinese district, she rarely communicated with people around her. Her mother didn’t like to ntion it, and her father wisely avoided bringing it up often, so Xia Siyu only gradually learned as she grew up that her mother used to be an actress. But it wasn’t until she returned to China and heard the disdainful comnts from the Xia family that she began to gradually understand what her mother was like in the past.
The entertainnt industry is glamorous, but it also conceals a lot of dirt. Her mother received ultimate honor but also bore considerable infamy. Yet none of that mattered; what mattered was the imnse disdain the Xia family showed towards perforrs.
What the Xia family looked down upon, she was determined to pursue. Moreover, this was her mother’s forr profession, one she was not vain about but very much admired.
But when she agreed to Qin Baizhou’s request, she didn’t want to debut under the title of the Xia family’s heiress. Not revealing her identity ant hiding the Xia family and simultaneously hiding her mother.
Years later, now she has debuted for seven years, yet hasn’t heard any dia or film critic talk about her mother’s films, or discuss her story. It’s as if she was one of those erased mories from "burning books and burying scholars," rarely ntioned.
"Really? Thank you." Xia Siyu nodded. She almost started an argunt with Qin Baizhou just now, but hearing her mother’s na made her really happy. Xia Siyu was essentially an outgoing person, but when it ca to family, she would beco particularly cautious. Even though she felt happy, she dared not talk to him further, nor did she want to laugh too loudly, only her eyes brightened a little.
This male guest previously paired with a young idol debuting not long ago and is now tead up with a singer who beca popular in the past two years, both with considerable age gaps. Obviously, the program team intended to pair guests with an "age gap."
An older man with a young girl isn’t impossible; the problem is, they just t and aren’t very familiar with each other. In such a pairing, the older man needs to be gentle and endlessly accommodating, while the young girl needs to be quirky, lively, and energetic. However, since they aren’t familiar, there’s little interaction between them, naturally leading to no spark. Moreover, the young girl is quite young; the previous idol was just twenty, and this singer is twenty-three. Although Xia Siyu is only a few years older, she debuted earlier, has been in the industry longer, seven years in total. She’s even been in the industry longer than Zhou Weiwei and Hu Juyue, making her the most "experienced" among the female guests. If in neighboring countries where seniority is viewed heavily, like Japan and Korea, these female guests would even respectfully bow and call her "senior."
So many people’s perception would be: she seems quite old.
And Xia Siyu is lively, cheerful, and quite talkative, as is the male guest who couldn’t hold back words, having collaborated before, basically knowing each other. Isn’t this why he chose to chat with her?
