Chapter 409: Chapter 408: I’ll Wait for You at Home (1)
Compared to those days, Xia Siyu has managed to make a comeback today. Although she is still criticized a lot, her popularity and buzz have skyrocketed. And thanks to Li Weiyi’s incident last time, her scandal of hitting someone in the street has been whitewashed.
This scumbag of an ex-boyfriend, not only indulged in group activities but also drugged people, has already been arrested and is awaiting trial.
Since Xia Siyu had been harshly criticized before, netizens now seem to have a kind of sympathetic filter towards her. She is indeed beautiful, and her acting—although not great, doesn’t break the immersion either.
She hasn’t done anything wrong, just that she has too many scandals and a bit of a temper. It’s normal for a beautiful woman to have more admirers.
Qin Baizhou is quite confident that Xia Siyu would renew her contract. If she’s hesitating at this point, it must be because the terms have not been fully agreed upon—perhaps a lower revenue share, perhaps more favorable business terms…
Xia Siyu is indeed a loyal person, or else she wouldn’t have helped Zhou Weiwei, knowing full well that she had ulterior motives.
She doesn’t care much about the revenue shares either. As long as it’s not exploitation, she is indifferent to getting a little less, “Just renew it automatically when the time comes, let’s stick to the original contract, no need for changes.”
That means there are still about nine months left to renew the contract.
Qin Baizhou breathed a sigh of relief, as long as Xia Siyu continued to stay by his side, that was what mattered to him.
Xia Siyu came to the company this time for another matter as well, which was her birthday fan meeting.
The time for the birthday fan meeting is set right after their first script reading. The script reading is scheduled for Friday during the day, and her birthday is the following day.
Xia Siyu has never been interested in her birthday, nor does she celebrate it with much fanfare. Qin Baizhou was willing to make a fuss, so she would cooperate. Besides, after so many years of struggles, she did owe something to her fans who had supported her all along.
Her thoughts remained the same, “It would be great if Shengxia could come.”
A big fan who could register in her inner circle surely must have done some earth-shattering feats. Take, for instance, this Shengxia, famous for his wealth.
Qin Baizhou had naturally heard about him, and said with a smile, “I’ll make sure someone prepares for it.”
After that, there wasn’t much else to discuss. After finishing filming “Spring Light”, Xia Siyu still had many offers. If she had calculated correctly, she should be taking on “Youth 2” next. She’d join the crew half a month late and concentrate her filming during that period.
In this way, her schedule for the year was set. There were other roles she was considering as well.
An artist’s time is planned out like this, back-to-back. It’s only during the recent pandemic, with the economic downturn and the cold spell in the film and TV industry, that she wasn’t booked out till the year after next, like she was during her peak in popularity.
As for variety shows, those are just squeezed in wherever there’s room. Even for regular variety shows, you don’t need to be there all the time; guest appearances only require a day or two.
These things, Qin Baizhou would take care of for her. After all, she wasn’t picky about variety shows, as long as she could pick a few fun ones to participate in.
Just as Qin Baizhou finished discussing serious matters, Xia Siyu couldn’t help but yawn, lowering her head. Qin Baizhou looked at her sideways, wondering if it was just his imagination or if Xia Siyu had become more—feminine, recently.
No, perhaps it would be more accurate to say she had matured.
In the past, her temper was explosive and her personality was brash. Now, she would think more and be more rational.
But when she revealed her nonchalance and sensuality unintentionally, it was like a bewitching potion that enchanted all beings!
