In fact, everyone knows well that Xia Siyu really acted well in this movie. You could even say it’s better than Bo Yan and Shang Feifei combined; she’s the soul of this film.
Moreover, even though Xia Siyu is third in billing—Bo Yan being first in "Storm," Shang Feifei second, and then her third—her screen ti is almost equal to Shang Feifei’s, if not more impressive. She could totally go for a Best Actress nomination, or if it really cos down to it, Best Supporting Actress.
As long as she gets a nomination, not to ntion whether she wins in the end, but she wouldn’t be scratched off in the first round of voting. She’s the biggest contender for Best Actress tonight.
It’s a pity, though, because of her "personal reasons," not only did she miss out on a Best Actress nomination, but she wasn’t even nominated for Best Supporting Actress, and this even dragged down the film’s ratings.
If she were still at Huixing, or with a company with so sort of backing, there’s no way she wouldn’t have even a nomination; at the very least, they’d ensure she was shortlisted. She’s opened her own independent studio now, with most of her business drying up and no follow-ups, so naturally, she can’t manage public relations for film festival spots.
But Xia Siyu, being able to attend, naturally knows that people want to see her make a fool of herself. They want to see her lose control over her expressions, beco insanely jealous, and start fights.
She just has to sit poised, smile beautifully, and keep interacting with Bo Yan to annoy them.
Award after award continues to be announced.
Even though "Storm" is up for several nominations tonight, it’s not consistently winning. For instance, it didn’t get awards for music or screenplay.
As the awards continue, it’s finally nearing the hottest categories: Best Supporting Actor and Actress, Best Actor and Actress, Director, and Best Picture in long films.
First is Best Supporting Actress, with five nominees. One of them is Zhou Weiwei.
Of course, the others nominated along with Zhou Weiwei are all veterans of the film industry. She managed to be part of this due to last year’s pandemic, with not many big films released. She perford reasonably well, and the movie itself was also quite decent, so she made the cut.
Moreover, her nomination was for a film she took on before joining Huixing, with connections Xia Siyu helped her establish.
In the end, the result was announced, and she didn’t win. But regardless, it was her first ti being nominated at the film festival, and she smiled happily about it.
Just then, the LED screen at the venue switched to capture other guest reactions, landing on Xia Siyu.
Zhou Weiwei was quite aware that she wouldn’t win. If she did, it would an Huixing spent a lot on PR. But what she cared about more was how Xia Siyu would react.
She looked up and saw Xia Siyu, who didn’t even get a nomination, turned to talk with Bo Yan, her face extraordinarily composed, not even glancing at the award list just announced.
In any case, she’s not the type to backtrack and step on you when you part ways. She’s the kind who, after parting, genuinely treats you as a passerby, like a streetlamp or a big tree on the roadside, without a trace of personal emotions, not even resentnt or complaints.
This ti, she spoke with Bo Yan not to deliberately stir up anything but because the Best Supporting Actor from "Storm" was also nominated, and soon the award would be announced, he’d have to move if he wins.
Moreover, his chances of winning are quite high, and they’re contemplating how to move seats later.
After finishing the discussion, she turned back again, still with a composed and calm expression.
