Xia Siyu looked at the entrance. Bo Yan's slippers had been replaced and neatly placed here. It was obvious that he was already out.
As if she saw Xia Siyu looking around, Wei Jingjing asked casually: "Are you looking for Bo Yan?"
"Who said I was looking for him? Why should I look for him? Is he important?"
Wei Jingjing thought to herself, she didn't know whether he was important or not, but Xia Siyu's rhetorical question was particularly like there was no three hundred taels of silver in this place. But Wei Jingjing still replied: "When I came, I seemed to see his car at the intersection in front. He must have left."
"Whether you want to leave or not, you seem to care how much you want him to stay." Xia Siyu dropped these words and walked to the bathroom again. This guy is used to fighting at a war-like speed. He packs things up very quickly. He washes them very quickly and just puts on some clothes before heading out.
Wei Jingjing stopped her: "Are you going just like that?"
T-shirt, jeans, and a baseball cap. After all, he is coming from over there. It is considered a formal occasion, so he does not need to wear any evening clothes, but he has to dress smartly, right
"What, what's wrong with these clothes? Isn't this nice?" Xia Siyu had passed the initial excitement period, but now she was very uninterested.
Anyway, she was busy here for a long time without even looking at Bo Yan. Besides, she didn't have to win that list. What if the script really turned out to be a vase? This is a two-way choice, and it's not one she leaves there for others to pick and choose. If you don't let her wear this, she won't go!
"Here, why don't you wear a small jacket?" There is a kind of casual suit jacket, which is worn in informal occasions. Wei Jingjing persuaded her to wear that one.
She was probably thinking that this time it was over. What she wanted to win was a sexy female spy. As a result, Xia Siyu had a careless image when she first arrived. She didn't take him seriously and had zero fit with the role. She was definitely doomed.
But this little ancestor has made her choice, what can she do? He could only follow her helplessly.
All the way to the meeting place, it was a quiet restaurant private room. Xia Siyu went in. Besides Qin Baizhou, there were two unknown people inside. A man of yellow race looked more familiar to Qin Baizhou, and the other had a Western face and a big white beard.
Seeing Xia Siyu, Qin Baizhou got up first: "Siyu, you are here. Let me introduce you to Xia Siyu, our hottest female star in China. This is the producer I am talking about, Mr. Wang, and that is Mr. Wang's friend Shi Tiff.”
After all, they were meeting guests. Even if Xia Siyu didn't get along well with Boyan, she would not show it to outsiders. She was not particularly enthusiastic or flattering, but she still extended her hand to shake hands generously: "Hello, you two."
Producer Wang is of Chinese descent and speaks fluent Mandarin. He smiled and said, "It's not easy to be quarantined here from Hollywood for more than ten days just to meet you."
Xia Siyu said unceremoniously: "That just proves that I am valuable and makes your trip worthwhile."
The two sides exchanged a few words and sat down to serve the meal. Qin Baizhou is very skillful in entertaining such things. As long as he wants to, he can establish a good relationship with you within five minutes, and he will make you happy without any sense of flattery. After all, he has worked hard from being a talent scout to now becoming the majority shareholder of Huixing, a listed company, so he still has a few tricks up his sleeve.
For example, when arranging meals, if I have a foreign friend, the meals will be a little bit more of a mix of Chinese and Western. The dishes served are all easy to operate with a knife and fork. However, no matter how good the arrangement is, there will always be oversights. For example, when Xia Siyu saw the man take out a tube of cigars and seemed to have no tools, Qin Baizhou immediately called the waiter.
Fortunately, you can smoke indoors here. The waiter brought a lighter, but the man looked at the lighter and put down the cigar. Qin Baizhou thought he was embarrassed to smoke indoors and didn't pay much attention. Instead, Xia Siyu asked: "Do you have special cigar cutters and cigar lighters?"
Although cigars are also cigarettes, they are different from ordinary filter cigarettes. There are cigar shops like this abroad. After the customer selects the cigar, the professional clerk will help him grill it to bring out the aroma, and then use cigar scissors to cut off a small part of the cigar. Do not use ordinary gasoline lighters to light cigarettes. The chemical smell inside will affect the aroma of the cigar.
The waiter went to look for it, and there was indeed a cigar cutter. He finally found it, but other than a lighter, he couldn't let anyone go to the kitchen. Xia Siyu asked: "Well, do you have any matches?"
She noticed that this restaurant had the habit of lighting incense in the Buddhist hall. If you are more pious and light a fire in a Buddhist temple, you will generally not use waxed matches.
This was really the right person to ask. She actually found a box in the restaurant and she handed it to the bearded man.
The bearded man was a little surprised: "Do you usually smoke, ma'am?"
Xia Siyu shook his head: "No."
She does not smoke, and she is not an alcoholic. She drinks occasionally and is not addicted.
The bearded man asked: "Then you know a lot about cigars."
It was too troublesome for Xia Siyu to chat with him in poor Chinese, so she spoke directly in English: "Although I don't smoke, I occasionally need to use it when acting, so I pay attention. I remember that in this superhero script, there is a scene where the heroine needs to I specifically asked the relevant people about the scene of smoking a cigar."
Relevant people refer to thin words. This guy was her encyclopedia, he knew everything she asked her. But when I think of Bo Yan and his recent indifference, I instantly feel a little unlucky.
The bearded man had been silent before. When Xia Siyu spoke, he was quite interested: "Your accent seems to have a bit of a London accent."
"I learned it as a kid, growing up in Sicily."
"Oh, yes, you speak Italian?"
"Of course." Xia Siyu turned around and greeted him in Italian, "Mr. Steve, you are actually the casting director, right? In other words, you may not be the casting director himself, but you must have something to do with the selection of the role this time. relation."
The director of this movie is a famous director. If he came, Xia Siyu would definitely know him. This is not necessarily the case with the casting director, but during the casting stage, the casting director’s opinion is also important. Moreover, the casting director is a person behind the scenes, and generally not many people know him, so he is relatively low-key.
The bearded man asked with interest: "How do you know?"
"That Mr. Wang is actually your subordinate. He didn't bring you here. In fact, you brought him to East Asia to make choices. The cigars in your hand are not cheap. This one costs more than one hundred dollars. ." Although he was dressed plainly, the price of this one was one hundred dollars, which was not something that ordinary small-time employees working in film and television could afford.
