The Best Actor Insists On Living With Me!-Chapter 391 - 390: I Want to Have a Home (1)

Chapter 391: Chapter 390: I Want to Have a Home (1)

Moreover, he was truly grateful for this story: If Xia Siyu could vent all the love and hate she harbored in her heart for him, perhaps their future development would turn out to be better.

Xia Siyu might appear carefree, but she always kept her worries hidden away from others. Very few people could influence her emotions now, and the Xia Family was one of them. He was another.

Although these emotions were mostly negative…

“That was a special era, and what you need to understand is a lot of background knowledge from that time. Having seen this script, I believe you know that neither the male nor the female lead is perfect; both are struggling in the torrents of time and society, and amidst their struggles, they transform. Even though it’s a short story, the characters still grow. Leave the male lead aside; you could say he’s a scoundrel, a jerk, a believer in collapsed faith. But the female lead has her own conflicts, struggles, pride, and confusion. Beyond the societal and era attributes she embodies, there is also transformation within this story. Can you convince the audience that she is a person from that era, a living, breathing person, with all her entanglements and spiraling growth as genuine? This play might seem to center on the male lead, with him being the main thread of the story. In truth, the male lead is merely the one flying the kite, while the female lead, as the kite, is the focal point of the entire play. Can you grasp it well?”

When Xia Siyu first took an interest in this script, it was because she was drawn to the character of the female lead, believing it to be a substantial role. Then, it was the whole story, which also had no issues.

These days, it’s not easy to come across a good script. This one, allegedly Sun Wujiu had spent many years on, drawing inspiration from real stories around him. So in terms of detail, control, and other aspects, it should all reflect his vision. Coupled with Yu Fenfei’s assistance, if well-executed, even if not award-snatching, it would at least be a good movie, an exceptional work.

While reading the script, she just felt attracted to the female lead’s character and wanted to perform it. But she hadn’t expected that she herself would be the crucial element. Including Bo Yan, all the actors were there to build a platform for her.

She furrowed her brows suddenly, then went over it seriously one more time. Afterward, she nodded, “I’ll do my best.”

“Not ‘do your best,’ but must, absolutely. If you don’t perform well, the movie will flop. If you do perform well, it will be like the finishing touch to a dragon, bringing it to life. Remember, you need to give more than one hundred and twenty percent. One hundred percent is no longer enough. That means, with two months left before the official shooting starts, you must improve yourself!”

Xia Siyu had seldom seen Bo Yan with such a serious expression. He usually maintained a cold demeanor and kept a distance from women. Lately, he had adopted a second persona, flirtatiously teasing her in private. But she recalled Zhou Weiwei, who had taken a few of his classes, saying that Bo Yan was quite fierce and strict. She had thought it was exaggerated.

Now she saw that indeed, the rumors were true.

If Bo Yan had really given up acting to become a university professor, he would definitely have been a very strict teacher.

However, she did indeed need a strict teacher right now, to enable her to make rapid progress.

“I can!” This time, Xia Siyu nodded with conviction.

Bo Yan scrutinized her closely, his eyes shining, but he still spoke sternly, “Good.”
