The Best Actor Insists On Living With Me!-Chapter 844 - 835 Exposure (3)

Chapter 844 -835 Exposure (3)

Wei Jingjing mentioned the set visit to Xia Siyu right when she had just finished filming for the day.

Fortunately, she had watched many ancient stories with Bo Yan before, so even though the female constable she played was somewhat rebellious, self-reliant, and had a strong sense of modern feminism, the ladylike grace she exhibited once out of uniform was still predominantly subtle. Bo Yan had described this with the term “restrained flirtation,” as if one has affection but does not voice it. “Blushing, they walk away, yet they sniff the green plums,” roughly meaning just that.

In the drama, she played a commanding female constable on the one hand and on the other, she harbored feelings for her senior apprentice brother—the male lead who had become a fugitive implicated in a case three years ago. She was determined to uphold justice and arrest him, yet she did not believe he was a villain and wanted to thoroughly investigate the case to clear his name. The two were in opposition yet cooperated, eventually uncovering a conspiracy that led to the imperial court.

What was outwardly displayed was her usual martial arts persona in fight scenes, but literary scenes required restraint.

Luckily, she had already almost entirely completed filming those literary scenes. Her acting skills had improved significantly and she was extremely diligent, never late nor leaving early. Director Ji, with whom she was working for the first time, was full of praise for her. She also spent a lot of time practicing martial arts and, although she ate slightly more than before, had still lost weight.

Action films were quite different from the literary scenes she did in the past. Every day involved swinging on the Weiya, leaping up and down, posing and striking, and it all had to look beautiful. Just performing the actions was already exhausting. She had a determined spirit, feeling that for the parts she could do, she would not allow a stunt double to replace her and insisted on doing them herself.

Just coming off the Weiya that day, she was so tired that she could not even lift her fingers. In the cold weather, she wore thin clothes and was so hot that she was sweaty underneath. But the worst part about the Weiya was the bruising where the harness dug in, with lines of purple marks under her clothes.

It was fine to be tired from filming, but once the filming finished and she relaxed, that sense of fatigue would invade her heart. It was like many office workers who would never show their anger in the office but would hide under the covers at home and cry when alone.

When she returned to her hotel room, she found herself missing Bo Yan terribly. Right then, Wei Jingjing told her about the set visit, and Xia Siyu’s eyes lit up immediately: “Is Bo Yan coming over?”

Wei Jingjing was momentarily startled: “When is Bo Yan coming over?”

“You didn’t say he was coming to visit the set?” Xia Siyu was also a bit puzzled.

“I didn’t say he was coming.”

Wei Jingjing also answered: “Someone is coming to visit the set, but it’s not Bo Yan, it’s your fan club.”

Xia Siyu instantly looked disappointed and let out an “Oh” before sitting back down in her chair.

Xia Siyu once had a very strong fan club too, but that was three or four years ago. Back then, she had a good image and was dubbed the “National First Love” with her pure and top-tier looks, popular among both men and women. Unfortunately, after scandals and negative news were exposed, fans turned on her in an instant. It was already good enough that there was no backlash, and the fan club was basically in name only. It was only recently when her reputation improved slightly that she gathered some loyal fans and had a birthday party. But a fan club visit to the set had never happened before.

Seeing her looking disappointed, Wei Jingjing quickly comforted her: “Brother Qin is taking it very seriously. I heard that ‘Shengxia Yanyu’ is spearheading this. He donated a large amount of supplies to the fan club. Siyu, don’t you really admire ‘Shengxia Yanyu’? Maybe he will come in person this time.”
