Capítulo 1501: Chapter 1492: Supporting Female Character (3)
This person, around the sa age as her, debuted around the sa ti and also had one ex-boyfriend after another, but has beco a world-class star. This film is a rare breakthrough for them, garnering much applause along the way.
However, Hollywood actors are indeed more famous. Xia Siyu, who is known for her boldness in the Chinese-speaking world, found that even when she was in Italy, stepping out of the Chinese District, there were still plenty of people who didn’t recognize her.
This is also related to the relatively closed nature of the Chinese-speaking world. Traditionally, top-tier actors in the Chinese-speaking world, besides fiercely competing for the three major Chinese-language awards in their own arena, those with greater ambition would aim to break out of Asia and go global.
So, more cautious, would first start enhancing their prestige and reputation with the three major European awards. But European aesthetics are too artsy; despite winning high-scoring awards, the films remain sowhat niche. For broader recognition, one must go to Arica, to Hollywood.
Hollywood has always been the sanctuary for actors worldwide. To showcase their acting skills here, to leave a handprint on the Walk of Fa, and to hold that gold statuette at the Oscars is every actor’s dream.
Even if one doesn’t win any awards, just being in a Hollywood blockbuster, moving up from minor roles to supporting roles to lead roles, opens up recognition, which is good.
Like now, whether it’s Xia Siyu, Bo Yan, or even Shang Feifei and Director Wang Ju, they are influential figures in the Chinese-speaking world. But on the Cannes red carpet, foreign journalists would only photograph the actress in front, not them.
Anyone who has reached their level has a strong sense of pride. Although the actress in front is the one who made the most mistakes, it still affects them.
Especially Xia Siyu.
Growing up in Sicily, she naturally knew that living here with an Asian face was inherently disadvantageous. She rembered the demonstrations where her mother was injured by shattered glass while protecting her, with one of the grievances being: There are too many outsiders, taking away job opportunities from the locals.
Outsiders, they as Chinese descendants, aren’t they outsiders? Even if their nationality changes, their face does not. They can never fully integrate into them.
At that mont, Xia Siyu’s feelings quietly changed.
Her original goal was to win more than two of the three major Chinese-language awards by the ti she was thirty, to honor her mother’s na, and to surpass her rival Shang Feifei. But as for what her goal was after thirty, or what her lifeti goal was, she hadn’t thought about it.
At most, she aid to act in more quality films and improve herself, but to what extent she wanted to improve or what target to reach, she remained in a daze.
But today, when she first stood on the Cannes red carpet with her work, and when she saw the worldwide attention on the actress in front, a thought vaguely ford in her mind:
This ti she ca mainly to participate, without even thinking about winning any awards.
But in the future, she vowed to engrave her na on the podiums of the three major European awards and even the Oscars with her own hands! She wanted audiences around the world to know her, to know the na Xia Siyu! To leave a classic legacy, so even a thousand years from now, film enthusiasts rembering the past would still rember her!
Although Shang Feifei was annoyed by the delay in front, she also felt a bit envious. And Bo Yan turned his head, seeing Xia Siyu’s eager and ambitious expression.
As her husband, he knew Xia Siyu’s thoughts too well. Coincidentally, he felt the sa way.
