Bo Yan’s car also stopped at the side, and when he saw Xia Siyu coming in, he leaned over and helped her fasten the seatbelt. After fastening the seatbelt, he didn’t sit back, but instead gently asked her, "All settled?"
Xia Siyu rubbed her temples. "No. The money’s gone, but that’s okay. The key thing is... there’s no script."
After this incident, who would be willing to give her a script? If she lowers her status to ask, it’s not that she couldn’t get it. But since her debut, it always was others who handed her scripts. She had never sought anything out herself. Even for "Storm," upon reflection, it was really Bo Yan who exerted effort in the background.
Although the resources were good, initially, she was approached for teen campus dramas and urban romance dramas, and it made no difference if soone else acted in those scripts. Art films and large productions have only beco slightly more frequent recently. Originally on the rise, who would have thought a year’s worth of goodwill painstakingly earned would be completely destroyed by a single Weibo post.
Capital wants to avoid risks, and in the future, there’s a large portion of films she’ll likely miss out on. Losing business opportunities doesn’t matter, but without films to shoot, what does she have to compete with Shang Feifei for?
Nowadays, a good script is hard to co by. Maybe only one or two film scripts co by in a year. And even then, finding those suitable for her to act in is even less common.
As for the script issue, Bo Yan didn’t really have much of a solution. Making movies is all about circles, for instance, he often fild a series with Yu Fenfei; those are his resources. Xia Siyu’s side, he can introduce, but it depends on whether the script and character fit.
If it doesn’t fit, there’s no point in forcibly pushing it. Also, so films have investors specifically requesting certain actors. Given Xia Siyu’s situation, she might end up playing the supporting female role, boosting others’ status. Or going for so sensual category 3 films would also be lowering her standing.
"If that’s the case... are you interested in performing stage plays?"
Hadn’t she previously ntioned that she felt like she was nearing a bottleneck and wanted to further develop her skills, best done by imrsing herself sincerely?
If she wants to enhance her ability, what’s better than theater plays?
Movies can shoot many takes and eventually choose the best one to use. But plays give you only one chance. Moreover, film editing relies on caras, editors, and directors. But theater is different, it relies on the actor herself.
On stage, your aura, your lines, your acting, your movents, everything about your voice, body, and expression can be refined.
Wasn’t she most afraid of not having the chance to practice before? Wasn’t Qin Baizhou firmly against letting her perform stage plays?
Now is the opportunity.
"Alright then. Taking advantage of this opportunity, I also want to learn opera, want to learn posture." Although she was rejected after auditioning for Wang Ju’s new film, she had specifically spent a day learning posture before and felt it was still necessary.
The film world is diverse, beyond kung fu and action, youth and urban settings, it’s possible to shoot period films set in the old society of the 1930s. Maybe it won’t be used much in the future, but it can enrich herself, broaden her core.
The world is so big, fleeting setbacks an nothing; she should work harder.
Bo Yan looked at her and smiled, "Not depressed anymore?"
Xia Siyu imdiately lifted her head high. "Are you kidding? , depressed? Those people want to see cry, I just want to smile beautifully! Just wait, the next ti I return, it’ll definitely be in style!"
