Chapter 672: Chapter 669 Crisis (5)
——Of course, she tried her hardest not to think about Bo Yan, but he was in her eyes, in her heart, and even in her dreams. Wasn’t this the feeling of anxious yearning, of being dejected and powerless? It was exactly the sa.
They had only been apart for less than half a day, yet why had she started missing him?
The director had been afraid she wouldn’t make it in one try, and told her to take it slow, choosing scenes with few lines. However, Xia Siyu’s first take was outstanding, and her subsequent ones continued to be of a high standard.
Xia Siyu was originally an actress with natural talent; she loved to have fun, and although the final cuts were quite good, they were the result of the director’s painstaking efforts. Unexpectedly, it was as if she had opened up her governor and conception vessels now, and her acting skills surged as if she had activated a cheat code, allowing her to finish scenes that were supposed to take several hours in no ti.
But shooting a movie is different from other things; it’s not about just finishing one scene and seamlessly moving on to the next. Lighting, set design, actors, makeup, and hairstyling—all had to be in place. Since Xia Siyu finished all her scenes for the day, the remaining ti was treated as a welco party for her, and they all went out for drinks.
Xia Siyu had only just had her farewell party yesterday, and here she was at a welco party today. Although she had a fiery character, she wasn’t foolish, knowing there were so social niceties she couldn’t ignore. Still, she ntioned, “I caught a cold today and have already taken cephalexin, so I can’t drink.”
...
Bo Yan had said, when you’re away from ho, don’t drink if you can avoid it. She herself wasn’t fond of boisterous socializing, and being in the entertainnt circle, she would encounter many situations she feared others would use against her. Therefore, unless it was a team she was very familiar with, she wouldn’t go out drinking.
Cephalexin and alcohol, a small life at stake. The crew was in agreent on this point. Besides, she had just arrived after a long journey; not drinking was no big deal.
After Group B also finished shooting, actors from both units gathered for a al. Although Xia Siyu wasn’t drinking, she knew the etiquette and simply smiled, saying, “Today, I’ll pick up the tab. Everyone, drink up without worries, even if you want 15 or 30-year-old Moutai, I’ll make sure there’s enough for everyone!”
With her statent, the atmosphere was still quite lively, and indeed, soone asked the hotel to prepare Moutai—though they didn’t have the 15-year-old, they brought out a whole case of the standard variety.
The drinks flowed and the mood was good, except Xia Siyu noticed—among those dining with them was Shang Feifei’s crew.
This ti, Xia Siyu hadn’t gone to Hengtian, as she was shooting a city drama and had gone to Shangcheng instead. Shang Feifei was also shooting there, causing the two crews to bump into each other.
Xia Siyu and Shang Feifei were like oil and water, starting with their mutual interest in Bo Yan, from whom Shang Feifei developed animosity toward her. Later, they shared the sa goal: to surpass her mother, Wen Qunxiao, making them even more like enemies.
Upon seeing each other, Shang Feifei was still poised and versatile, while Xia Siyu was as direct and uninhibited as always. Moreover, Shang Feifei, now ard with the aura of a Best Actress winner, contrasted with Xia Siyu, who always sported a mix of fa and infamy, constantly compared by fans and passersby, making it strange for them to be on good terms.
In the hallway, encountering each other, both crews happened to be dining in the sa restaurant. Xia Siyu was surrounded by stars, while Shang Feifei stood out from the crowd. One like a vibrant peony, the other like a delicate orchid in a secluded valley, heading in opposite directions. Although Shang Feifei didn’t like Xia Siyu, she maintained her composure, “Long ti no see.”
The response she got was a haughty “Hmph” from Xia Siyu.
