Chapter 1324: Chapter 1315: Restart (3)
When she reached the door, Qin Baizhou suddenly called out to her: “Siyu.”
Xia Siyu stopped in her tracks, turned around, her expression calm.
“Have you thought about what you want to do in the future…?”
“Do what? Act in films.” She was very composed. What else could she do if not acting? Isn’t she just an actress?
“But now you…” He didn’t finish his sentence, but everyone knew.
Currently, even though she still has four films in reserve, “Spring Light” was under review, and it might never see the light of day. Director Ji’s two films, one set in ancient tis and the other in modern tis, it’s unknown when they will ever be released. As for “Youth 2,” even if it can be released, the producers will likely push the schedule back as much as possible. After all, with public resentnt towards Xia Siyu being so high right now, if she is truly labeled as a “disgraced artist,” she might even face a physical ban in the future, requiring all her films to be re-shot without her.
Even without a ban, it will still greatly impact her public image, and many will avoid going to theaters to see her.
Moreover, Wang Ju’s new film casting Shang Feifei was essentially a move by the capital to avoid risks. Although Xia Siyu might be more suited for that role, the investors are not foolish and saw no need to forcefully thrust forward in such a situation.
It’s important to note, one of the conditions Xia Siyu negotiated with Huixing was to exit without paying any penalty fees, and that was to take full responsibility for the current situation without implicating Huixing publicly.
“I’ll take it slow.” Anyway, she felt her past schedule was packed too tight, and from her perspective, she felt she was reaching her ceiling. To improve, she needs to learn more first.
She needs to settle down, to learn, although there’s still two and a half years left in the agreent, she can’t just let herself be consud by one film after another; she needs to recharge and study when necessary.
If at thirty she still can’t win an award, then she would gracefully admit defeat.
There’s nothing shaful in being outdone by her mother or by Shang Feifei; if Shang Feifei earns her award by rit, then it’s her lack of capability, not anyone else’s fault, and she would wish her well.
After speaking, Xia Siyu simply stepped out and walked out of the company.
Recently, the weather in Yancheng had been pleasant with bright scenery, and as Xia Siyu stepped outside into the sunlight, she was glad the contract termination was settled, a weight lifted off her shoulders.
Just as she exited the main door, Bo Yan’s call ca through: “Finished with the talks?”
Xia Siyu responded with a “Hmm,” and Bo Yan continued: “Seems like you’re in a good mood.”
As he spoke, a car drove towards her, Bo Yan rolled down the window and continued speaking to the phone while watching her: “So, if everything’s settled, want to grab a cup of tea with ?”
Xia Siyu chuckled, directly replying on the phone: “You go ahead, I have so other things to do.”
She didn’t get into Bo Yan’s car, but instead, first got into a car with the lawyer, Little Tang, and Wei Jingjing. Bo Yan had no choice but to roll up his window again and follow behind her van.
Xia Siyu first discussed with the lawyer to organize the docunts, manage the compensations that needed to be made, and maintain the necessary contacts. This lawyer would also be her personal lawyer in the future, helping manage these docunts. On Wei Jingjing’s side, she organized the business affairs, making sure so endorsents were retained, and she sorted them out.
However, there was still the most important thing to do. She wanted to get back on her Weibo, logged in, and posted a new status: “I have left Huixing Company. For future business partnerships, please contact my private studio.”
