Chapter 275: Dinner (1)
Bo Yan wouldn’t rashly make Xia Siyu change her managent team. Besides drama engagents, Qin Baizhou is considered a very good agent. He can help maintain an artist’s popularity, secure business deals, fight for better roles, and knows how to hype and market.
For the average artist, being able to maintain popularity and continuously make money already makes for a very good agent. Moreover, Qin Baizhou wouldn’t push away good opportunities. The only possible issue is that he may not have a deep appreciation for art. Or rather, in his eyes, the artistic value of so works can’t compete with the paycheck, ti investnt, and exposure.
“Not exactly, for example, I run an independent studio, which gives more autonomy, especially when it cos to choosing scripts.”
As the two of them were talking, Xia Siyu had already hurriedly showered, washed her hair, and left her ho at breakneck speed.
She faintly overheard the conversation outside and felt a bit wary: Bo Yan wouldn’t be prying into her private affairs, would he?
She quickly asked, “Are you talking about ?”
Wei Jingjing didn’t know how to respond and looked at Bo Yan.
However, Bo Yan nodded, “Yes, we’re discussing ‘Spring Light.’ Director Sun Wujiu is indeed quite interested in you, and if you’re really willing to take the role, it would be best if you could et with him soon.”
This was a serious matter, and although Xia Siyu was still sowhat annoyed with Bo Yan, she wouldn’t reject what he said.
“eting is fine.” She was set on wanting the role of the female lead.
Her acting resu was still missing a major work that could prove her acting skills.
She was now the most popular in the entertainnt circle; though her fa was controversial, it was a genuine popularity. Qin Baizhou was right— the artistic life of a female actress is indeed short-lived. But what Qin Baizhou thought was to make as much money as possible while she was still young, beautiful, and popular. What she thought was, she’s already so famous, how much more famous could she beco? Since popularity is fleeting, she needed to think long-term and aim for bigger achievents.
Moreover, her mother, who switched to acting from dancing, managed to win the Best Actress award. She had been a top star in the entertainnt circle for six years with no significant achievents, and that was her own fault.
Nevertheless, Xia Siyu murmured softly, “If only the male lead could be replaced…”
Replacing the male lead would an Bo Yan being replaced.
Bo Yan and Wei Jingjing clearly heard her, and his expression cracked slightly.
After getting ready, Xia Siyu only applied skincare without makeup since the makeup artist would take care of it in the car. She didn’t even dry her hair, leaving it damp as she went downstairs; after all, the hairstylist would style it anyway.
When she reached the ground floor, she didn’t expect to find Qin Baizhou there too.
Qin Baizhou smiled and explained first, “Considering you’re a young woman living alone, it wouldn’t be proper for to co up.”
He said this with a smile, first glancing at Xia Siyu, then turning to look at Wei Jingjing.
Wei Jingjing, who had been on the job for three years, shrank a little at Qin Baizhou’s smile. She couldn’t help but feel there was a deeper aning behind their boss’s seemingly knowing smile, as if he knew about Bo Yan and Xia Siyu living together but didn’t want to intervene, so he sent her to act as a third wheel instead.
Xia Siyu was genuinely thick-skinned; she was only concerned with getting into the car and asked, “Why are you here?”
Typically, for events like this, agents don’t need to make an appearance, especially partners like Qin Baizhou. He had enough company paperwork to keep him busy; accompanying her was already demanding enough, so why would he also attend the event? If the agent handled everything, what was the assistant for?
