Chapter 630: Chapter 627 Husband and Wife (5)
Just as she had finished thinking, Xia Siyu lived up to everyone’s expectations by coughing several times, almost spitting out the medicine she had swallowed.
Of course, Bo Yan didn’t know about all her inner turmoil, he just realized that Xia Siyu was a bit off today. The film crew was even more clueless. But what they did know was that they had struck gold.
They had initially thought that Xia Siyu’s involvement was just for bringing in fans and as long as her acting wasn’t terrible, it was enough. They never expected her to actually shine. Even though she had been nominated for Best Actress many times without ever winning, it was considered no more than a consolation prize.
But this time, looking at Xia Siyu’s performance over the past few days, her endurance to hardship was one thing, but what was key was her excellent grasp of the female lead’s character. The attention to small details, some of the plot design, and the subtle changes in facial expressions, he wasn’t boasting, but she wouldn’t be outperformed by any current actor.
However, with both actors performing so well, Director Sun felt fortunate, yet the weight on his shoulders grew heavier. Their performances were so brilliant that if he couldn’t direct the story well, it would truly be a great sin.
For a while, everyone on set worked hard. They were all desperately doing their best for the film, and no one paid attention to the issues between Xia Siyu and Bo Yan.
In the evening, Bo Yan made the excuse that he had to memorize more lines for tomorrow and needed to go back to study them, so he wouldn’t go out for drinks.
This was actually nonsense, as his lines for today were just a few, at most a page. Tomorrow’s lines were a bit more, but only three pages worth, not difficult to memorize. Director Sun and Yu Fenfei shared a style, disliking verbose and convoluted dialogue. They preferred silent expressions, relying on actors’ gazes, expressions, body language, and actions to convey meaning. Even when dialogue was necessary, it was simple and easy to convey.
However, since he and Xia Siyu had been doing a lot of emotional and facial expression scenes that were very brain-intensive and had turned out so well, Director Sun did not insist on keeping Bo Yan there and agreed to let him go.
Bo Yan went back, obviously to get intimate with his wife. But this time Xia Siyu was wiser, locking all the doors and windows while showering, leaving Bo Yan with no recourse but to wait for her to finish. Men shower quickly, he was out in less than ten minutes, and as a guise, he first went to his own room. Once he saw the host had gone to bed, he immediately barged into Xia Siyu’s room.
But Wei Jingjing was still in Xia Siyu’s room, and Bo Yan walked in nonchalantly, not paying Wei Jingjing any heed. Xia Siyu didn’t pay attention to him either and continued chatting with Jingjing. However, when Jingjing saw Bo Yan, she remembered the morning-after pill Song Fengzhi had given her that afternoon, and her gaze involuntarily moved from his handsome face to the area below his waist…
Bo Yan didn’t disturb their conversation; Xia Siyu was actually talking about her recent work schedule with Jingjing. After finishing that topic, she started discussing her skin care routine, mentioning how the autumn climate was dry, especially in the Northwest, and after changing locations, her usual skin care products weren’t working as well.
But this conversation went on for over an hour, and during that time, Bo Yan even went to the restroom while the two were still chatting. He noticed something was off but knew Xia Siyu’s personality too well. If he forcefully interrupted their conversation, it would only make her resent him.
Three minutes later, Song Fengzhi knocked on the door, “Is Miss Wei here? Miss Wei, I need to talk to you about something.”
Jingjing was taken aback; this was the first time Song Fengzhi had come looking for her so late at night.
