The Best Actor Insists On Living With Me!-Chapter 1749 - 1741: Valentine’s Day (Part 4)
For him, movies are definitely still a top priority. He paused and turned off the screen, then turned to look at Xia Siyu’s phone. Xia Siyu had indeed found quite a few negative reviews. Some were obviously from rival groups, giving one-star ratings, like "I don’t want to watch it if Xia Siyu is in it" and "This movie is crap, it’s terrible."
A more sophisticated negative review started with praises for the drama and then shifted tone, critiquing many bad points, like altering characters significantly, merging Li Yiru, a purely antagonistic character, with another positive one. Or simplifying the plot depth, and blowing up the romance, especially turning the female lead, originally a social butterfly, into a pure woman, forcibly changing her sponsorship relationship with the big bad banker to one of mutual use. The male lead is no longer an idealistic but incapable scholar. The original critical thought was completely gone, and even the fate where the heroine must die was changed into a love farce, vulgar. Another issue was the narrative structure; the front part was so slow it made people want to sleep. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞
The review didn’t forget to stir up a conflict between Bo Yan and his fans, adding, "After watching this movie, I think Bo Yan truly loves Xia Siyu. He makes her look like a peerless beauty. Even if this movie fails, with her styling, she will certainly be a fixture in future film editing circles."
Xia Siyu saw the last line and shamelessly pointed to it, saying, "I think this part is well said."
She normally boasts like this, and Bo Yan would occasionally tease her. Unexpectedly, this time Bo Yan nodded, "Yeah, he makes a good point."
"Do you mean the points mentioned earlier?" The person didn’t rant randomly; the previous points were indeed shortcomings, and Bo Yan isn’t someone who can’t accept criticism.
Bo Yan nodded, then reiterated, "He said you’re a peerless beauty. Also, that Bo Yan truly loves Xia Siyu. That point."
"Of course," Xia Siyu nodded confidently, not the least bit embarrassed. She added, "Actually, you don’t have to get mad. You’re not a national treasure. Even if you were, people would still criticize you because your value can’t surpass the dollar or the pound. If it really bothers you, maybe just post fewer sweet photos in the future. There’s some truth to ’flaunting love invites trouble.’"
Bo Yan listened for a while and then realized Xia Siyu was actually comforting him. Moreover, she brought up the negative review perhaps to change the subject, preventing him from taking it too seriously with the fans.
Not long ago, he felt like he was watching Xia Siyu grow up just like a daughter, and now it’s even more so.
This person, truly, understands things. She used to be indifferent to negative reviews because they were only about her. But once they involve him, she still cares.
He hadn’t expected that there would come a day when Xia Siyu would counsel him. But thinking about it, if the fan was attacking him personally or pointing out flaws in his movie, he might not take it seriously. What upset him was the person criticizing Xia Siyu.
Once he started liking her, he really couldn’t stand to hear others speak ill of her and would automatically view her through rosy lenses. Even if those people were right, he would internally disagree.
Since Xia Siyu publicly announced their relationship, until now, only once did they post such a "showy love" post on social media. She rarely talks about them during interviews, much less likes to use it as an attraction point, repeatedly mentioning it in interviews. Plus, this social media post was also intended to promote the movie. Already being low-key, yet those people still couldn’t tolerate it, and that’s what made him angry.
But, she was right. Their life is for them to live. Although fans connect with them through the internet, they are actually separated by vast distances. He never needed fans to boost his rankings or control comments, nor would he organize fan clubs to engage in massive arguments. If fans caused trouble before, he would be the first to mediate it.
His relationship with fans isn’t tied as closely as current traffic stars are with theirs. Traffic stars depend on fans to survive, and they are also bound by fans. They can’t casually date or let their image collapse, needing to play the perfect boyfriend in fans’ eyes. Fans, too, are willing to boost rankings for them, buy their endorsements, and inflate their statistics.
Since that’s not the case, fans supporting is good. If not, he wouldn’t force them to adapt to having a "sister-in-law". If they can accept it, continue on. If not, part ways amicably. There’s no need for him to argue.
"You’re right. I’ve been too concerned." Bo Yan adjusted his breathing and exited the app.
Xia Siyu propped one arm and watched him. Bo Yan felt a bit strange, "What’s up?" Why was she staring at his face?
Xia Siyu grinned, "Bo Yan, I suddenly think your eyes are very pretty."
A completely out-of-nowhere statement. What did that mean? Xia Siyu continued to explain, "Your eyelashes are especially long. They look really good even without fake eyelashes. Your eyes have a slight shade of brown. Maybe your ancestor was mixed, with Huns or Xianbei blood."
"Of course," Xia Siyu nodded confidently, not the least bit embarrassed. She added, "Actually, you don’t have to get mad. You’re not a national treasure. Even if you were, people would still criticize you because your value can’t surpass the dollar or the pound. If it really bothers you, maybe just post fewer sweet photos in the future. There’s some truth to ’flaunting love invites trouble.’"
