As Xia Siyu hesitated, his expression became serious, “However, this is a thankless task that greatly exceeds your abilities. Even though we’re not on good terms, I don’t want to harm you, so please spare us too. If I were to add a bit of investment, I could easily find a low-key but skilled actor to play the part, and the effect would be ten thousand times better than you. Actually, the director and I have our sights set on an actress who won the Best Supporting Actress at the Golden Sparrow Awards the year before last. She’s also keen to come on board and is willing to take time to immerse herself in the role. It would be better to give it to her.”

Although Xia Siyu may be naive, she wasn’t easily swayed by Bo Yan’s words. Her choice was—to lower her head once again and review the plot.

This script was written by the director himself, well-constructed, based on the story of his parents’ generation, which also made it particularly realistic. The setting is during those chaotic ten years. The male protagonist is a local college student who returns home because the university suspends classes, while the female protagonist is an educated youth sent to the countryside from the big city, affected by her parents’ status as capitalists. These two outcasts comforting each other in that era and place was virtually a given, but ultimately, as the female lead returns to the city, the relationship still ends in tragedy.

Indeed, without substantial experience and at least a modicum of acting skills, one could not possibly perform in such a play, where the dramatic tension between the male and female leads was crucial.

She glanced at the female lead’s character design, read through the whole

story once more, and nodded, “I like this story.”

Moreover, if it weren’t for the current film industry slump that left many crews and movies on hold, and artists with more free slots in their schedules, she might never have had the chance to see such a script.

Bo Yan didn’t push the sale as aggressively as he had before. He understood the principle of advancing and retreating, and instead narrowed his eyes, adopting a composed demeanor.

“Send the script to my email, I’ll have Brother Qin take a look,” Xia Siyu had said before that except for other business and variety shows, she didn’t want to be involved, but for choosing scripts, she wished to have full autonomy.

“Sure,” Bo Yan was straightforward. He used his mobile email to send the script and the production crew’s information to her. Xia Siyu didn’t even look at it and directly forwarded Bo Yan’s email to Qin Baizhou.

Thus, Qin Baizhou’s inbox received a forwarded email originally from

“[email protected].”

In Huixing Company’s office, Qin Baizhou stared at that “yuyan’! name for a very long time, so long that only when his assistant said, “President Qin, your coffee has spilled,” did he snap back to reality.

Qin Baizhou held his cup of coffee, his eyes fixed on the script on the screen, but his thoughts had long since drifted far away. He quickly typed a few words and searched for information in the search bar.

Even though Bo Yan hadn’t marked the lead male actor’s information in the script he sent to Xia Siyu, Qin Baizhou still found several likely candidates from Sun Wujiu and Yu Fenfei’s previous records, one of which was Bo Yan.

Remembering Bo Yan’s recent collaboration with Xia Siyu, recalling that although she usually had a fiery temper, she never publicly expressed dissatisfaction with a male artist on social media more than once or twice. He also remembered, this reality show has three unknown artists.

If, in addition to this movie collaboration, Xia Siyu and Bo Yan would likely be spending eight or nine months together.

Then, there were the men’s items in the Qingcheng apartment.

Qin Baizhou’s eyes narrowed slightly.

Xia Siyu and Bo Yan, were they living together?
