Since Li Yiru was ntioned, Xia Siyu obviously wanted to shift the bla onto her: "I saw that Yiru seems to have sothing to say."
Li Yiru had indeed not acted for quite a long ti due to secretly getting pregnant and giving birth, followed by several months of recovery. Of course, although she hadn’t been acting, she did have so films stored up from before, so she wasn’t completely inactive. Additionally, though she switched sponsors from her previous one to the current one, Bo Qiliu, who provided enough money, it didn’t help her achieve stardom.
Li Yiru certainly didn’t want to bring up her secret childbirth. Publicly, it was said she spent a year selecting scripts and finally found one she liked.
Initially, the investors weren’t really optimistic about this film. It was primarily an art film, and while Bo Yan and Xia Siyu guaranteed box office success as actors, their capabilities as director and screenwriter remained uncertain. But when Sun Wujiu’s team joined and Li Yiru was added as the supporting actress, the film instantly beca more luxurious.
Back in the day, Li Yiru debuted by stepping on Xia Siyu and flaunted herself quite audaciously. Although her acting wasn’t award-winning, she did have so skills. Also, she attempted to tie herself with Bo Yan to generate scandals.
Now, her acting and publicity are both in place.
The only pity is that Li Yiru joined at the last minute, by which ti Bo Yan and the investors had already discussed the details. If they had brought Li Yiru in from the start, they might have secured more investnt.
Since Li Yiru was already ntioned, the reporters couldn’t leave her out. They had to ask her a few questions for formality’s sake.
Previously, Li Yiru indeed had high ambitions—not saying she surpassed Xia Siyu, but she constantly tried to pull her down. Moreover, she "coveted" Bo Yan. But after going through all these experiences, she gradually matured, especially after becoming a mother. She had no interest in being a mistress anymore, felt no affection for Bo Qiliu, and if it wasn’t for her miscarriage and subsequent inability to have more children, she wouldn’t have risked keeping the child.
Having gone through these events, she did beco much steadier. When asked why she chose this film, she simply smiled: "The director is good, the script is good, the actors are good. Especially our director, he gave great confidence."
She still used that ambiguous tone she had previously employed to tie herself to Bo Yan for publicity, but neither Bo Yan nor Xia Siyu thought there would be any entanglent between them.
"Moreover..." Her tone shifted as she looked at Xia Siyu, raising her voice, "I have never worked with Siyu in a film before, this is our first collaboration, and I’m looking forward to it. Especially Siyu’s performance in ’Storm’ was really good, evenly matched with the female lead, Shang Feifei. I’d like to try as well."
This was a deliberately competitive stance; she had always treated Xia Siyu this way and still maintained this tone.
Although rivalry isn’t necessarily a bad thing, sotis it has its own advantages. At least it created a topic, as long as it didn’t affect the final cut.
It was imaginable that Li Yiru was also signaling to Xia Siyu and Bo Yan that she would soon buy so articles to take them down together.
Xia Siyu took the microphone with a smiling face: "Alright, I’ve been in this industry for so many years and never been overshadowed by anyone, I’m really looking forward to such a day."
A single sentence was full of tension. And Bo Yan, who was caught between these two won, smiled slightly, a bit helpless, just like any man who is not adept at handling issues between won.
