Bo Yan's premonition was correct, it was indeed before and after the filming of the variety show.
You don’t have to go immediately after receiving the notification. After all, you have to give the artists some buffer time. Generally, when you sign up, you have already decided whether you can be shortlisted. When the official notification is made, it will be more than half a month before the final draw.
During this half month, Xia Siyu took on two business deals and also contacted Director Yu to prepare for her next film. In this drama, she had to act ugly—originally she could have been without makeup, but Xia Siyu's makeup look is also very effective, but it's just not that gorgeous, and it doesn't quite fit the character. Director Yu suggested that she should act ugly, and she agreed.
She is beautiful in all the scenes. Even if the audience is not tired, she herself is tired of aesthetics. She doesn't worry about whether she is beautiful or ugly. Anyway, the audience knows whether she is good-looking or not without proof.
The problem is, she doesn't want everyone to focus on her beauty and ugliness. Being ugly is just a gimmick, but what attracts people is always the characters and the story itself. She pretended to be ugly but also wanted to act valuable, instead of tricking some people into coming to the cinema and then cursing and writing bad reviews after returning.
With variety shows and the distraction of movies, Xia Siyu will not put all her thoughts on awards. In fact, she had already known that the possibility of winning the prize this time was very low. No, it should be said that it's not just this time. Affected by the criticism last year, one of the movies released this year is "Boy 2", which is ready to win the Golden Phoenix Award, but the chance of winning the award is very slim. And there is this movie directed by Ji. Not only is it difficult for Jin Yue to get this film, but it is also difficult to get Golden Phoenix and Jin Ao. After all, it is a commercial film, and there are no protective measures for films from other places. It is even more difficult to compete with films from all over China.
This year's round of three awards was wasted. Next year, I don’t know if director Sun’s “Spring Light”, Bo Yan’s “Sunrise”, director Ji’s “The God of Pursuit”, and the just-finished Wang Ju’s “The Fall of the Country” will be released. If it can't even be released, it won't be eligible for awards, let alone be shortlisted for film awards.
But these are really not things that humans can accomplish. Every year, even great directors may be pressed into films, let alone these few.
Xia Siyu now took it very lightly, and she was already prepared to lose the competition. But even if she cannot win a mainstream award when she is thirty years old, it does not mean that her future life will be sluggish.
She likes acting and acting is part of her job and everything she pursues. The temporary failure can only encourage her to work harder. After all, in the past eight years of her work, she has experienced two troughs and several take-offs. She has never seen any big storms.
Just admit defeat. Although Shang Fei'er's second award for "The Tempest" is a little questionable, her first trophy was earned through hard work. Opportunities will not be left to those who are unprepared. At least she has this foundation before she dares to compete with herself. If she can really surpass her mother and win more awards, as long as she gets them honestly and according to her own strength, then she will also congratulate her.
But Xia Siyu decided to give it a try. When she attended the Golden Phoenix Awards last year, because she was at a low point, the designers she had been friends with before did not dare to lend her clothes. She spent nearly a million dollars to buy the latest model and proudly wore it to the award ceremony. But this year, she regained her momentum. The designer with whom she had a good relationship said hello and brought the clothes over.
If she hadn't gone to another place to attend the Golden Moon Awards, she would have wanted to wear the Chinese-style clothing designed by Chen Fan. But Golden Moon Award is famous for liking European and American trends. When she goes to attend an award ceremony, she has to do as the Romans do. Even if you don't get it this year, you have laid the foundation and you will be able to win the statuette one day in the future.

Over the weekend, the first and third episode of the love variety show was released online.
The love variety show is divided into three phases, each with four episodes, for a total of twelve episodes. The first and second phases have been recorded. Judging by the time, this episode happened to be when each group of guests gave "love gifts" to each other.
Ever since the romance variety show officially announced Xia Siyu and Boyan, the variety show has been going off track. In the past few seasons, the audience watched lovers sprinkle candy, whether it was hard or unintentional, or it showed the conflicts and frictions after marriage and love. In short, it is a matter between lovers.
However, Xia Siyu's pilot film immediately derailed the whole rhythm with her "dog-licking". In the first episode, the audience scolded her for being lazy, doing whatever she wanted, and disrespecting the male guests. In the second issue, I started to see her various ways to save money and was speechless again. Finally, I guessed what happened that night when the power went out.
This episode started with a lightning strike. Xia Siyu saved money and reached a new level. If the program team hadn't tried their best to stop her, she would have drank up all the oatmeal. The yogurt in the refrigerator is also out of stock. After that, Boyan divided a chicken into several different cooking methods. Not to mention Xia Siyu's surprised look, even the viewers in front of the TV were amazed.
In fact, his method of dividing the chicken is nothing special. Many chefs or experienced people can do it. But here’s the thing: he’s thin-tongued.
Bo Yan has always been remembered by others as a cold-blooded man who is unsmiling, deep and gentle. As a result, this time, in addition to becoming Xia Siyu's "licking dog", he also became the "little boss of China". Of course, Xia Siyu's "not working" that was criticized by others has also changed, and she started washing dishes. One cooks and the other washes dishes, which is quite harmonious.
Later, it was night.
To be honest, I saw other groups busy preparing "gifts". Some visited on the beach with heart-shaped candles and bought fireworks. Some were generous enough to rent drones and even prepare pianos. Some people are more economical and make a reservation at the local top-floor revolving restaurant to prepare a romantic candlelight dinner.
And here, Xia Siyu is taking a nap. Yes, she is napping again. I slept all afternoon without any preparation. As for Bo Yan, he went out for a trip and when he came back, he went into the kitchen and cut radishes for a long time.
How this group said it fully demonstrates the saying: The emperor is not in a hurry and the eunuch is.
Especially after the last episode of the program was broadcast, Xia Siyu and Bo Yan's "Fable CP fans" surged like crazy. There are a lot of people watching the excitement and it's not a big deal. Although these two people seem to be completely different from each other, it's actually quite fun to get together. Everyone was waiting to see what gifts the couple would give each other, but for now, it seemed that Xia Siyu was so grateful that she could get up and write a greeting card to Bo Yan with her own hands.
Then, it was night.
