The Best Actor Insists On Living With Me!-Chapter 1733 - 1725: "Hubby" (2)

At that time, she had just become popular, and the company helped her create a buzz, with a huge crowd of fans following her wherever she went. She was new to the industry, and seeing a group of fans chasing and cheering for her touched her deeply.

But soon, she was blackmailed with dark secrets by her peers, and she didn’t want to renew her contract with her former company. Faced with overwhelming negativity, the former company remained silent and sidelined her, causing her reputation to plummet. Her fans went through their first collapse, with a large number leaving. Later, Qin Baizhou set her up with a straightforward persona, which helped her regain a foothold in the entertainment industry, but it wasn’t an appeal that attracted many fans, so her fanbase didn’t grow much. Later, she got into a fight with Bo Yan’s fans, causing chaos on both sides, and even now, despite their official announcement, their fans are still at odds.

Then there was the mountain accident, which really cleared out her fanbase thoroughly. At that time, almost all her fans ran away, and even after clarifications, they didn’t come back.

Then there was her CP with Bo Yan, which indeed stirred up a wave. But for actresses like them, only a good work can attract fans. This time was one such occasion.

For Xia Siyu, "Divine Catcher" was just one of her many works. She took on the role simply because she wanted to do a period drama, something different from her previous roles. Although she takes each role seriously, she never placed too much expectation on them.

Unexpectedly...

Sitting in the car, Xia Siyu had a lot of feelings. Checking her super topic area, she indeed saw many fans showing off their photos and autographs with Xia Siyu and candies, as well as those with lipstick signatures, all particularly eye-catching.

This time, Xia Siyu also noticed that her super topic squeezed back into the top ten for activity. Clearly, these were fans who came over after watching the movie.

She was touched, but also a bit scared. She had experienced the stage of being worshiped by thousands and also the awkwardness of being condemned by the masses. The ones elevating you now might also be the ones to throw you down later. She thought for a moment, logged into Weibo with her main account, and showed off the gifts her fans gave her, with a caption: "Thank you for your love. Whether it’s for the female lead, or for me. But in the future, I hope you don’t send gifts anymore. Instead, let me know what you like, so I can give it to you."

She couldn’t live like the movie’s female lead; she admitted she had many bad habits—arrogance, capriciousness, and stubbornness. Not just fans, even Bo Yan sometimes couldn’t stand her. But that’s the real her. She couldn’t say when or if she might go through something that would lead to a downfall, causing many fans to unfollow and backlash.

She wasn’t perfect; she had flaws. Perhaps an offhand comment might bring a storm of criticism. It’s not that she doesn’t want fans to like her, but she hopes they could know what kind of person she truly is, not just get passionate and treat her like the character she plays after watching one movie.

Having gained and lost, when receiving again, she becomes more cautious. After all, they aren’t Bo Yan, who lives with her, but she always feels whatever she does can’t repay the goodwill of her fans.

"The recent commotion was really scary, huh." Wei Jingjing finally snapped out of it after a while. She joined after Xia Siyu entered Huixing and was hired by Qin Baizhou, having never experienced the explosive popularity Xia Siyu had when she debuted. In Wei Jingjing’s memory, following Xia Siyu involved endlessly cleaning up messes. There were fans, but mostly anti-fans. This kind of scene, she honestly had never seen before. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

Xia Siyu acknowledged with a hum, then turned back to ask her: "You didn’t arrange this, did you?" Like Zhang Wenyi did before, deliberately gathering a huge crowd and fansite managers at the airport to create buzz.

"Why would I arrange this?" Wei Jingjing shook her head. She only wrote Xia Siyu’s itinerary in her fan club as usual. Those fans came on their own, even if organized, they did it on their own accord, not arranged by her in any capacity.

Looks like Xia Siyu is truly popular again.

"So, do you want to check out the scripts? Many invitations are for ancient martial arts roles. The offer is quite generous." There are even TV series. Xia Siyu’s looks could definitely benefit the public if she really decides to do a costume fantasy drama.

Moreover, regarding pay, previously Xia Siyu worked with Bo Yan on several projects for a friendship price of only 15 million, truly a friendship price. These days, any second-tier celebrity easily commands a pay of 20 to 30 million. She currently needs money, so the right price indeed makes Wei Jingjing a bit tempted.

Xia Siyu remains very cautious about work: "I need to look at it and see if there’s a suitable script."

The so-called suitable isn’t necessarily about playing the lead or having the first billing, but rather that the story is good and the character is good; only then will she agree. She only filmed her mom’s drama, and in the short term, she doesn’t intend to enter the TV sphere again. It’s not that she thinks TV is lower than film, rather she wants to hone herself more in films. She still desires improvement and wants to enhance her acting skills. She still feels that from debut till now, she hasn’t found her acting ceiling and is still missing that film where she could perform freely and savor fully.

Although in front of Wei Jingjing and fans she seems restrained, at home seeing Bo Yan, she couldn’t help but boast: "Look! Fans gave me these! So many people came to greet me! Completely surrounded!"

Bo Yan laughed and said: "Really? Not organized by your fan club?"

"What organizing? I asked Wei Jingjing, and she said no. Moreover, her reaction didn’t seem like she organized this; she looked completely bewildered. It’s still my own spur-of-the-moment decision." Although she seems restrained in front of Wei Jingjing and fans, at home seeing Bo Yan, she couldn’t help but boast: "Look! Fans gave me these! So many people came to greet me! Completely surrounded!"

Bo Yan laughed and said: "Really? Not organized by your fan club?"
