Following the script, Bo Yan responded to the host one question after another. It was evident that the host kept trying to steer the conversation toward his love life, but Bo Yan wasn’t a pushover, he deftly shifted the topic and, in the end, didn’t give the host anything substantial to work with.
The entire interview lasted only half an hour. It was only the phrase “a past relationship” that really stirred up discussion; the rest was just an extension of day-to-day topics.
Of course, the show would broadcast shortly before the official announcent, and as he was due to join the cast for filming the next day, the production team had arranged for him to do this interview as part of the show’s promotion. Thus, the host asked him, “I heard you’re about to collaborate with Director Wang Ju.”
The interview wasn’t aired on the sa day. If you looked closely, you could see Bo Yan was actually wearing the sa clothes from after his audition. The city’s neon lights visible through the full-length glass behind the host indicated it was evening, so this was after the audition. He already knew who had been selected for the lead actress and the supporting actress roles.
He nodded, “Yes.’
“I’ve heard you’ve already t your co-stars. Can you tell us about them?”
Since the official announcent hadn’t been made and Shang Feifei and Xia Siyu’s involvent hadn’t been completely confird, the only certainty was his lead role. He wasn’t about to leak any information: “There are newcors, as well as those I’m familiar with. Each ti I film, it brings a fresh sense of excitent. I’m looking forward to working with different people.”
The interview ended there, followed by so behind-the- scenes footage.
Zhou Weiwei’s eyes clearly showed envy: “If I had known you were acting too,
I wouldn’t have auditioned for the lead. I could’ve gone for the third or fourth female role, or even just made a cao appearance to get my face known.
After all, it’s a tough ti in the film and television industry, especially for a Wang Ju project.”
Xia Siyu didn’t take this seriously: “Then when I join the crew tomorrow, I’ll ask around casually for you. Are you really willing to accept any role, even just a cao?”
Zhou Weiwei nodded, “Of course. If it’s a more significant role, I’ll have to discuss it with my agent.”
Xia Siyu nodded in agreent.
After finishing their al, just as they were about to settle the bill, Zhou Weiwei’s phone chid with a ssage. Xia Siyu was busy making a mobile paynt when Zhou Weiwei interjected, “Look at this.”
As it happened, Wei Jingjing was also calling at that mont, her voice tinged with caution: “Siyu, hold off on playing with your phone later. Get your things ready and prepare well. I’ll co over early tomorrow morning to pick you up.”
With a personality like Xia Siyu’s, who was stubborn and often did the opposite of what was advised, the more you told her not to do sothing, like checking her phone, the more she insisted on doing it.
She was on the phone and at the sa ti glanced at the mobile that Zhou Weiwei handed her. Seeing the hot search entries, she comnted indifferently, “Are you talking about the top ten trending topics on Weibo, where, apart from the ads, everything is about and Bo Yan?”
Upon hearing this, Wei Jingjing felt her heart skip a beat.
Xia Siyu, however, was remarkably calm, sharing this trait with Bo Yan. She kept a strict separation between her public persona and personal life. Being scolded by netizens wasn’t going to kill her, and their criticism only helped increase her visibility. What did she have to fear?
As a celebrity, the worry isn’t about being berated; it’s about being ignored.
As long as she wasn’t involved in murder, arson, drug abuse, or adultery, even if she was unpopular, it was highly unlikely she’d be completely banished by the internet.
Even seeing a trending topic like #BoYanOnceHadARelationship# couldn’t provoke much reaction from her anymore..
