Free Web NovelChapter 1883: Chapter 1870: Family (3)
This is not only Bo Yan’s final scene, but also Xia Siyu’s.
She is the second female lead in the movie. Although it is a dual female lead setup, it’s clear that the main plot is with Shang Feifei. Bo Yan has been filming here for ten days. In the first seven days, he was filming scenes with Shang Feifei, and the next two days were with other related parties. Only yesterday did he collaborate with Xia Siyu.
Today is also a scene that involves all three main characters, which is considered the climax of the film.
Bo Yan has always been an early riser, waking up at six thirty. After washing up and getting ready by seven, he initially thought to wake Xia Siyu, but unexpectedly, she was already prepared and out. freeωebnovēl.c૦m
Although Xia Siyu plays hard in private, she is very serious at work. Once filming started, she resumed her routine of resting at ten at night and waking up at six-thirty the next morning.
Yesterday, during the collaboration with Xia Siyu, he felt it noticeably. Xia Siyu’s grasp of her character has improved significantly. Although every expression might seem ordinary at a glance, upon closer examination, every scene, every action, every glance carries much depth. Moreover, acting with Shang Feifei is somewhat different. He has worked with Shang Feifei many times and they have developed a mutual understanding, so their cooperation is smooth. Although he has also collaborated with Xia Siyu many times and they are a couple, most of the time playing roles with complicated emotional entanglements, her performance yesterday surprised him.
What surprised him the most was that, despite Xia Siyu’s character being starkly different, he did not find it odd or feel disconnected. On the contrary, his interaction with Xia Siyu was smooth and he could easily delve into the character. Even though he was facing her, within the role, the mental pressure Xia Siyu exerted on him was truly felt.
Focusing on one thing, having talent, along with the foundation she built in the entertainment industry over the past ten years, her soaring results are astonishing. No wonder she often teased him to stop being distracted and to dedicate himself to acting in the future.
He originally considered it a friendly reminder. Although after successfully finishing this tricky job for Bosch, he planned to take a break and return to his roots. But when he truly collaborated with Xia Siyu and personally felt her pressure and capability, he was indeed startled, or rather, amazed.
Initially, he only guided and educated Xia Siyu. Later, as her talent gradually became apparent, he felt somewhat gratified. But now, her performance has far exceeded his expectations, which he only felt when he first entered the industry, facing seasoned actors.
If he doesn’t work hard, he will really be left far behind by her.
"Do you want to have breakfast?"
Xia Siyu’s eyes gleamed when food was mentioned. Although she had to play a killer role, needing to stay slim, even during the New Year when her diet was mild, she was recently so slim that her cheekbones were visible. Yet, she still has a great passion for food, though snacking and drinks were completely banned, and she tries to eat less carbs and fats.
See, yesterday at the filming scene, she had a fierce look in her eyes, but as soon as food was mentioned, she transformed from a wild wolf into a husky. At the restaurant, she was clearly drooling over the neighbors’ greasy fried dough sticks and scallion pancakes, but when ordering, she sensibly chose shrimp dumplings and century egg lean pork congee.
However, Bo Yan had no such concerns. He knew Xia Siyu couldn’t eat, but deliberately ordered fried dough sticks, pancakes, and spring rolls, along with a big bowl of spicy Tan Tan noodles. When served, they were still steaming, carrying an aromatic oil fragrance, making the shrimp dumplings in Xia Siyu’s mouth tasteless.
Xia Siyu drank a sip of her congee, but opposite, Bo Yan took a big bite of half a fried dough stick, crunching so loud Xia Siyu heard it from across the table. The remaining half was put into the Tan Tan noodles, and when lifted, it was soaked full of soup, the taste didn’t need description, as Bo Yan’s satisfied expression said it all.
After finishing the fried dough stick, he started to tear into a scallion pancake! Compared to the fried dough stick, the scallion pancake carried more of a fragrant onion taste, which was incredibly tempting.
Instantly, Xia Siyu’s mood soured, she said sternly, "You, can’t eat that."
Bo Yan was just teasing her, and asked, "I don’t need to lose weight, why can’t I eat?" He generously pushed the pancake toward her, "Want some? Have a taste, it’s aromatic and crispy, the flavor is excellent."
Xia Siyu’s eyebrow twitched, "Take it away. If you don’t, I’ll turn the table over for you." He doesn’t need to lose weight, but she does. It’s her final scene today, can’t she complete it properly?
Yet, when Xia Siyu got serious, she truly had the stern, but utterly evil demeanor she portrayed in the role.
Bo Yan clearly wasn’t like the last assistant director, who was scared by a single glance from her. Normally, it’s him who was teased half to death by Xia Siyu, so he wanted to tease her when he saw her faltering.
"Since you don’t want to see me, I’ll go eat at the next table."
Just as they were talking, Shang Feifei came too. Bo Yan really carried his plate of fried food over to her table unabashedly. Shang Feifei was taken aback; with Xia Siyu present, why did he come here? Their little couple’s quarrel was none of her business.
Bo Yan spoke first, "She doesn’t eat fried food."
Shang Feifei glanced at his breakfast, nodded, "Thanks, I don’t eat it either."
Bo Yan was very straightforward, "I didn’t mean to share with you. But, you don’t mind me sitting across from you to eat, do you?"
Shang Feifei’s face showed a slight sense of irritation, "What if I say I do mind?"
"Oh, then you can sit at her table." Bo Yan didn’t really ask her opinion, directly offering her another option.
Shang Feifei really just sat over there, directly opposite Xia Siyu. At seven, this was the time the crew was having breakfast, and most of the staff would usually come down at this time, waiting to start work after eating. After Bo Yan sat over there, and then Shang Feifei went back, the scene caused constant surprise in the restaurant.
Especially since Xia Siyu and Shang Feifei were always "arch-enemies," engaging in remote altercations when not in the same crew, and only speaking when necessary during shared crew times, never casually chatting. So, what was this performance about? Was it because today is their last scene, and everyone planned to stir up drama on the last day?
The entire restaurant watched, but no one dared say anything. These two grand ladies, none had a good temper, and once angry, no one could provoke them.
