Although she had previously thought about stepping onto a bigger stage and venturing into the world, also wanting to shoot more classic works. Even in old age, she planned not to exit the industry. Playing the role of a classy old lady would be nice too.
But those are distant goals. Just a general plan. As for the little things in front of her, she doesn’t quite know how to handle them. Especially if she wanted to maintain a standard for her films, there are so scripts she simply couldn’t accept. Although she doesn’t have many requirents for variety shows, nor does she demand that the show be popular or not, or that she has to attend high-exposure shows, she can’t keep doing variety shows indefinitely.
After all, being on variety shows may cause audiences to fixate on a certain image of you. In the future, when you act in movies that don’t match this persona, they might find it out of place.
As for TV series, there are only a few good scripts each year, and many people are competing intensely for them. She’s never done TV, not because she’s afraid of falling from film stardom to have her face hit the ground. Like films, TV also requires roles she likes or a script she finds interesting; it has to be quality work, not sothing just to make money, right?
In conclusion, she seems to have suddenly found herself with plenty of free ti.
Moreover, she now runs her own studio, without the support of a big company. Although she’s much freer, financially and work-wise, resources inevitably take a hit. If she had been with Huixing before, she could just ntion what kind of script she wanted, and Qin Baizhou would at least try to get it for her, but now that’s not an option.
Xia Siyu asked him, "What scripts have you been working on recently?"
Bo Yan said, "Still the exchange student script. The production team decided to shoot it dostically. China actually has quite a few film centers that have built streets and cities modeled after the West. There’s no way around it; traveling abroad is too difficult at this ti, with quarantine coming and going, and if soone gets sick, it’s even more trouble. For locations that require going abroad, we’ll just have to grit our teeth and go. We have to shoot; it’s said the script rights are about to expire. If we don’t, renewing the rights would cost another few million."
Xia Siyu nodded, "What about afterward?"
"Afterward?" Bo Yan thought for a bit, "Previously, ’Sunrise’ was still in post-production, and I kept an eye on it. I also have a few scripts with . The two of us can collaborate on one called ’Six Doors,’ similar to when you worked with director Ji on ’Divine Catcher.’
Speaking of ’Divine Catcher,’ it just went off screens recently, grossing 700 million at the box office.
Although it didn’t make too much money, it did pass the breakeven point. When the box office hit 700 million, the production team happily released a poster celebrating this milestone. If the series is well-received, they might continue with a sequel. Since they’re all period detective dramas, they can keep coming one after another.
Because both ’Youth 2’ and ’Divine Catcher’ did well at the box office, and with the Cannes Best Supporting Actress win, during the ’XX Night’ event, Xia Siyu was given front-row treatnt again. That’s how the entertainnt circle works, supportive at your peak, indifferent otherwise. Success is everything.
"Oh, we’ll see when the ti cos." Just by the na, you could tell it’s a comrcial film. Xia Siyu wasn’t particularly enthusiastic at the sound of it.
Bo Yan got up to pour water, took a sip, and turned to ask, "Then what do you want to do?"
Xia Siyu was dumbfounded for a while, "It’s really boring, maybe I should have a kid for fun."
