Xia Siyu wore a puzzled expression, “Why six months?”
She even looked down, specifically glancing at the timeline, “There shouldn’t be a scheduled shooting time on here, right? It just says it will start within the next six months. And even if it’s filming a movie, at most it would take three months. This film isn’t like “The Lord of the Rings,’ the kind that you shoot for six months.’
Bo Yan’s expression remained calm, “Because this shooting schedule—it’s set by me. The director has already made ample preparations beforehand; it’s just that as a rising director without a track record, he can’t pull in investments, nor does he have any famous actors joining, which makes starting the shoot difficult. If I agree to sign on, the director has promised to schedule around my availability.
And l, will be free in about a month. If I’m to shoot this film, it’s definitely with the aim of winning awards, so I need to make sufficient preparations in advance. The male lead is from a small town in the West, which is a bit far from my life. If I go, I’ll definitely need to observe local conditions and immerse myself into the role, which will take at least more than a month. The official shoot starts three months from now, and filming will take three months.’
After he finished speaking, he glanced at Xia Siyu, his brow slightly furrowed, a hint of disdain in his eyes, “As for you, to be honest, they’re not offering much money, and the director isn’t well-known, so what are you doing here? Even if you get the role of the female lead, you’re not willing to come and experience life, to earnestly observe local conditions for a month for a work. Even if you shoot it, and put in the effort, you’re still far removed from the life of the female lead. Later, everyone in the crew does well, but you, the female lead, lag behind, affecting the whole shoot, affecting my chances at winning awards. No money, it’s hard, and you can’t win awards, so why bother? Better just forget it.”
Xia Siyu hated when others said she wasn’t up to snuff, especially when it came to things she was striving for—the more people tried to hold her down, the more she wanted to get her hands on it.
“Why forget it, why should I give up? I haven’t even shot it yet, how do you know I can’t handle hardship, that I would drag down the whole crew? Besides, I’ve suffered plenty when I was a child, you just don’t know it. I can definitely handle more hardship than you!’
As she spoke, she quickly called Qin Baizhou, “Brother Qin, I want to shoot
‘Spring Light.’ Could you please help me get in touch? The director is Sun Wujiu.”
Qin Baizhou had just arrived at the company and was getting out of the car when he took out his phone and paused, “Sun Wujiu? Who’s that?”
“He’s a protégé of Yu Fenfei from Xinjiu Media, previously Yu Fenfei’s executive director. This is his debut work, but the team is from Yu Fenfei’s, and Yu Fenfei himself will serve as the executive producer and producer for this film. I’ve read the script; I think it’s feasible, and I want to take it.”
Qin Baizhou felt dizzy from her words, then suddenly remembered that he had seen several scripts that he was unfamiliar with under the coffee table at Xia Siyu’s place, one of which was very likely this one.
“In that case, send me the script and your letter of intent first. I’ll take a look and if it’s suitable, I’ll contact them immediately for you, okay?”
“I’ll send it to you right away.” Xia Siyu hung up and directly asked Bo Yan, “You have the script document, right? Send it to my email.”
Bo Yan smiled slightly, “Of course, that’s possible. But 1 need to remind you that in this script, the male and female leads have affection for each other and live together. It would be best if you were there when I go to live the life.. Especially some tacit understandings of life, if people haven’t been together for a long time, they simply can’t be formed, so…”
