Capítulo 1511: Chapter 1502: We’re Back (Part 7)
Wei Jingjing here, almost stayed up all night.
She received a lot of invitations from production crews. Previously, when they used to inquire, they responded indifferently, but now, one by one, they are licking their faces, begging her to take a look at their scripts.
So foreign directors even extended the olive branch; her fluent French and Latin did indeed help a bit.
However, just like there’s a niche in dostic films, it’s pretty much the sa abroad. Venturing into Hollywood bravely could end up in total disaster. Even if by luck she could land a role, what good is it if she’s relegated to being a vase or a background? At best, she might beco an action hero, but nowadays there aren’t many platforms left for action heroes in films.
Although Hollywood and the vast overseas market are indeed tempting, Xia Siyu grew up in Europe, and she understands that even if she went, she wouldn’t be mainstream. She intends to keep her focus within the country anyway; she hasn’t even hit the top three dostic awards, so what’s the point of going to Hollywood?
Of course, there’s no need to put on a stance of “I’m not going.” It’s even better if the opportunity is there; Wei Jingjing understands this much. Unfortunately, her level of English has almost returned to what her teacher taught after so many years, basically only a junior high school vocabulary level, allowing for basic communication. She doesn’t know any French either; luckily, there’s an interpreter in the troupe, so she quickly pulled soone to communicate, just to keep the opportunity open. Once Xia Siyu wakes up tomorrow, she’ll discuss it with her.
As for the dostic invitations, there are even more.
Xia Siyu went through a low point over the past year; now the only project she has is Bo Yan’s “Sunrise.” The shooting of “Sunrise” just wrapped half a month ago, and in two to three months, she might have a window.
But what she’ll shoot in three months is still uncertain. This movie is probably her last hope at thirty to chase an award, and she’ll choose carefully.
There’s also good news: the two action movies Xia Siyu shot last year directed by Director Ji, one ancient and one modern, the ancient one is still in the final post-production, but the modern one, which was shot later, has already finished post and is being submitted for review.
Once the review passes, they’ll aim to secure a sumr release slot.
The official Weibo of the movie, riding on the wave of her winning an award, has conveniently released the latest teaser.
By that ti, this movie will premiere first, and the ancient one will likely be delayed. If this movie performs well, its release might be moved up; if it performs diocrely, it’ll follow the schedule.
These are all matters for later. In any case, Xia Siyu slept quite soundly this day. The next day, when Wei Jingjing ca to call her, she was still yawning, with an expression of not having slept enough.
After brunch, Wang Ju bid them farewell. He was heading back to the country first; the three main actors had to continue to Marseille to shoot a comrcial. After one night, Xia Siyu still had no idea she had beco highly sought after, and even Wang Ju couldn’t help but say to her, “When are you going back? I’ll drop by in a few days to visit the set.”
He is well-inford. These days, not only do big directors have many people vying for lead roles, but good actors also have many people chasing their schedules. He had asked before; Xia Siyu hadn’t planned on a new film yet; he just happened to have a suitable project for her.
Bo Yan said with a smile, “We shoot the comrcial tomorrow, can go back the day after, and be there the day after that.”
“Then I’ll co by the day after that.” Last year’s project was missed; this ti, he must secure it no matter what!
Shang Feifei also said, “Then I’ll just tag along. Let’s book the sa flight and visit the set together.”
