The Best Actor Insists On Living With Me!-Chapter 1546 - 1537: Dreams (3)

Bo Yan still wouldn’t give up: "What about in the future, if there’s a suitable script?"

"Of course I’d go if it’s suitable." She nodded as if it was obvious, if it was suitable, why wouldn’t she go? She’s not foolish, "If you don’t believe me, ask her, see if she would go abroad for development if there’s a chance?" 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

She pointed at Shang Feifei, unexpectedly caught by surprise, but Shang Feifei wasn’t flustered, she smiled and nodded: "If there’s a chance, of course, I would."

After she said this, Han Yifan also looked at her, feeling a bit nervous.

Li Yiru quickly followed: "Don’t just talk about abroad, I’ll go anywhere within the country if there’s a chance. If you don’t take risks while you’re young, you’ll have even fewer opportunities when you’re older." She also laughed, "Don’t just ask us actors, ask Director Wang, if you had the opportunity in Hollywood, would you go?"

Wang Ju chuckled: "If it’s a collaboration, I’d take a look, but my main battleground is likely still domestically."

Who among actors and directors doesn’t have a Hollywood dream? He had it when he was young too, but after interacting with them over there, the ideologies, work styles, and team models were vastly different, and it was hard to move up, with mainstream rejection being quite strong. Even if you’re Chinese, there’s little benefit to be gained. After facing obstacles everywhere over there and returning, it’s hard to find one’s own place.

Moreover, even if you go there and sacrifice your own ideals to cater to their ideas, successfully blending into their acting circle, are you still the same you? If a director can’t express their ideas through their work, then anyone can do it. It’s actually the same for actors too, even if you’re Chinese, the chances of you becoming a lead are slim, and even if you do, the chance of getting a good character setup is even slimmer. But he ultimately doesn’t restrict others’ rights, if others are willing to venture out, they should go, after all, no one can be responsible for your life, only you can.

Xia Siyu indeed also nodded calmly: "If there’s a good script and a good character setup, I’d obviously go. If it’s just a vase role, or one without substance, why should I go? To stand there looking pretty like a fool? I don’t want that. Nowadays, although Hollywood and Cannes are still sanctuaries, it’s no longer the era where you could return and boast after having gilded yourself abroad."

She grew up abroad and wasn’t accepted by her father’s family, leading to some identity confusion. But because of this, she understands the mindset of overseas Chinese best. Some people try to integrate into the circle by desperately severing ties with their original circle, even becoming traitors, harming their motherland in return, thinking that by doing so, others would accept them. But that’s impossible, if you don’t respect yourself, how can others respect you?

Yet, when they return to their home country, they have a sense of disdain as though they’ve returned to an impoverished backwater. Even knowing full well that China is strong, they still aren’t willing to admit it internally. Otherwise, their ancestors and their own beliefs in the need to struggle in a foreign land would be meaningless.

Of course, "It’s fortune for poets when the country suffers, when sorrows are expressed, the works are magnificent," sometimes this drifting and disconnection is the source of creativity for literary and film works. But if you become the character in those stories, it’s not a wonderful thing.

Although Xia Siyu usually seems carefree, only knowing how to eat, when it comes to these matters, her thoughts are rather clear.
