The Best Actor Insists On Living With Me!-Chapter 1757 - 1747: A New - (Part 2)
Moreover, the Golden Phoenix award she got last year was also a result of Xia Siyu’s absence. If you count it carefully, she only has one solid trophy.
Although her bet with Xia Siyu has another year and three more chances to go before the end, she doesn’t face the same inexplicable infamy and "cold storage" as Xia Siyu did for a year. In her heart, even if she didn’t lose to Xia Siyu, she still lost to Mr. Wen.
"Although it’s a bit of a regret, I still congratulate the award-winning XXX. Her performance was great, and I admire her acting. All I can say is my performance just didn’t move the judges and audience; it’s my own issue."
It’s indeed regrettable. Her performance was on par with the winner’s, but unfortunately, she was the second nomination, making it even harder.
During Xia Siyu’s interview, she sat next to her. Although this person is a bit more composed than her past explosive temperament, she still acted as if she didn’t care much about the reporters.
While interviewing Shang Feifei, she sat on the side looking utterly bored. Though she didn’t sabotage it on the spot, she sat sideways in the chair with one hand on the armrest, as if she were watching a play.
When it was her turn to be interviewed: "What are your thoughts about not winning this time?"
What else can you think? Xia Siyu said, "The downside is I didn’t win an award. The upside is that neither did Shang Feifei."
For those who don’t know, it might seem like she regards Shang Feifei as her opponent. It’s fine if she doesn’t win, but the other party shouldn’t want to either. However, only the two of them understand what Xia Siyu meant.
Even though neither of them can match up to their moms, their PK isn’t over yet. It is a regret she didn’t win, but neither did Shang Feifei.
At least the competition wasn’t ended right in this match. If Shang Feifei had won this time, she wouldn’t have needed to continue the tie-breaker afterwards; she would have admitted defeat immediately.
"Do you mean you and Shang Feifei are in a competitive relationship, and as long as she doesn’t win, anybody else can?" The reporter couldn’t let go of the tension and asked directly.
"It’s no big deal if she wins." If she wins, I’ll just admit defeat. As long as she wins an award on her merit, I’d have no complaints. Recognition should be given; just the match won’t need to continue.
"But didn’t you just say you’re glad it wasn’t her?"
The reporter was puzzled by her words, thinking it was a typical entertainment industry drama.
After all, they’re of similar age and status, and conflicts in competing for scripts, endorsements, and commercial deals are inevitable. Currently, Shang Feifei has two awards acknowledging her acting, while Xia Siyu has a Cannes Best Supporting Actress, but her commercial value is skyrocketing.
Comparing each other, being hostile, and competing is no surprise. Moreover, many artists don’t get along behind the scenes but pretend to be friends on camera. Xia Siyu never bothered with that; she straightforwardly speaks her mind.
"Is it a conflict?"
Isn’t it a conflict? The reporter was confused by her words.
However, thanks to Xia Siyu’s statement, the reporter didn’t worry about lacking a sensational headline for the article. Xia Siyu is practically a walking firecracker, causing a stir wherever she goes. Anyway, her boastful talk isn’t new. At most, this time her and Shang Feifei’s fans might just have another war.
This scene is nothing compared to her past battles with Bo Yan’s fans, so she didn’t even bother.
After the interview, Shang Feifei caught up with her: "I heard you’re interested in joining a Hollywood superhero series?"
It’s the sort of news that can’t be hidden, so Xia Siyu wasn’t surprised: "What, you want in too?"
Who wouldn’t? Participating in a superhero series might not lead to awards, but it means global exposure.
China might be huge, but it’s still small compared to global exposure. Earlier, when Hollywood expressed the desire to cast an Asian, it caught many’s attention. Awards are important, but if global exposure is on the table, why not get familiar faces first?
After all, these days, with the ZZZQ trend, Hollywood movies are mandated to include Black and Asian actors.
Whether to choose an unknown Asian-American actor or a famous Chinese star to grab the box office attention is what they need to consider. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖
Thanks to "Storm" getting her noticed at Cannes, growing up abroad, and showing her action chops in "Divine Catcher," she got their attention.
Compared to Shang Feifei, although she also wants the exposure, her main market is domestic. Despite having trained in dance, she lacks Xia Siyu’s power, making a sudden transition to action roles challenging.
"If it’s suitable, I’ll go. But if it’s just to be a pretty face, then forget it."
She, too, wants global exposure, but her aspirations are beyond just being an action star. She wants to create works with depth and substance, something that can be passed down for years. A useless pretty face in a Hollywood ZZZ does not interest her, especially if her role gets reduced to mere minutes. Whoever’s keen can go. Whether they choose an unknown Asian-American or a famous Chinese actor is their call.
