"Pfft—" Bo Yan spat out all the water. Not only did he spit it out, but he also choked and coughed for a while: "What did you say?"
Xia Siyu said, "I’m bored. I don’t know if there’s any good script. How about we have a kid for fun?"
"Are you serious?" The boy has cried wolf several tis, and Bo Yan isn’t sure anymore. He said with a skeptical look, "A child is not a dog. You can’t just decide to have one today because you’re interested, and then get rid of it tomorrow because you’re not. And that’s while it’s still in your belly. Once the kid is born, it won’t be simple to just stuff them back. Plus, didn’t we agree earlier? Having a child isn’t like cooking a piece of char siu. We need to raise them properly, start educating them from the womb. Provide them the best knowledge and let them grow up in a better family environnt, beautifully."
"Whatever, even if we’re both good looking, who’s to say the kid won’t have her own ideas? What if she ends up growing into the places we find the least attractive?—Of course, I don’t have any unattractive places, maybe she’ll pick yours to grow into? And brains, they just don’t beco smart because you want them to. What if she turns out to be a fool?"
"What kind of mother are you? Talking bad about the child even before you’re pregnant."
Xia Siyu turned back: "I’m just stating the facts. And that’s assuming the child is obedient, doesn’t upset , and isn’t rebellious. What if she ends up being rebellious, hangs out with bad kids, becos a useless and spoiled mama’s girl with no responsibility? Might as well have shot her against the wall from the start."
Bo Yan looked grim: "Forget it, you better think about work instead. Don’t even think about kids."
Xia Siyu looked at him: "So what job should I do? The scripts now all seem so silly. So scripts I think are good, but they might be picky about . Like Yu Fenfei’s, who thinks I don’t have the ’local woman’ vibe. How would he know if I don’t act it out? Is it my fault for looking beautiful and not provincial? Even if it’s all good, they might just pick artists from their own company and not give it to ."
Although, with Xia Siyu’s current status, the chance of being pushed out by soone with connections after filming for a month is almost none, the opportunity might not be given to her at all. Nowadays in the film industry, producing three or four watchable movies a year is already difficult, and she has no chance of hitting every single one.
"How about I shoot a TV series? Online dramas aren’t impossible." After much consideration, she realized she had to expand her territory. In recent years, the TV drama market has undergone a sweeping change. Purely chasing popular idols might not have a good ending, as the audience’s taste has improved, with higher demands for scripts and acting skills. As long as she picks a good script, she believes there will be audiences eager to see Xia Siyu’s performance in TV dramas.
Bo Yan hadn’t fild TV dramas before either, but indeed so production companies had approached him. He nodded: "I can keep an eye out for this. You could also spread the word that you’re taking on TV series, and companies will surely reach out to you."
Xia Siyu’s mind jumped again, and she asked: "Didn’t you say before you wanted to be a scriptwriter and write your own work? You’ve been at it for over a year now, where’s the script?"
Bo Yan smiled bitterly: "You think being a scriptwriter is as simple as hitting your head and magically producing words? There’s been a lot this year, and I still haven’t had much ti."
