She frowned: "Bo Yan, you look like my mother."
Bo Yan had never heard Xia Siyu talk about her mother, but he had never spoken in such a tone.
Xia Siyu explained: "My mother was not strict at that time. If I didn't practice dance seriously, she would hit my palm with a ruler. But besides practicing dance, she was still very good to me. When I went to school, she would help me behind. Get something, help me pack my schoolbag, and tell me not to bully my classmates or fight. Just like you."
This metaphor makes me laugh out loud. Is this to praise him for caring about her, or to dislike him for being verbose
But one thing we can know is that Xia Siyu is very close to him in her heart. Moreover, she also gradually let go of her mother's heart. This does not mean that she has completely let go. She is not qualified to replace her mother and forgive those who have wronged her. However, she can already talk about her mother calmly and face life seriously.
Bo Yan smiled and said, "It's good that you know, so take good care of yourself."
"I got it." In fact, when Bo Yan was not with Xia Siyu, she lived well alone. But as long as he is around, she has become accustomed to relying on him, and now she is just returning to normal.
The two talked for a while, and Wei Jingjing finally couldn't help but urge: "Siyu, the time is almost up."
After all, it is an international flight and you have to go through border control, which will take longer.
Boyan then nodded: "Why don't you come and kiss me goodbye?" He came over and wanted to kiss her, but Xia Siyu turned away in disgust: "No. There are so many germs on your mask!"
After all, it was during the epidemic prevention period. If there was no epidemic, Bo Yan would come over and kiss her before talking, even at the risk of being recognized.
He had no choice but to open his arms: "Then give me a hug."
Xia Siyu turned her face away and said "cut" again. When Bo Yang just thought that Xia Siyu was unwilling and put down his arms, Xia Siyu rushed over and hugged him tightly: "You too, be fine."
Bo Yan had said so much before that he didn't feel anything, but Xia Siyu's simple words almost broke his guard. He said "hmm", stretched out his arms to hug her, patted her back, and then He let go of his hand and nodded: "Come on!"
"You don't need to tell me that I can do it." Although Xia Siyu was still arguing, her body language already showed her mood. She walked towards the security checkpoint step by step, looking back after taking two steps, until she passed the security checkpoint, and then He couldn't see Bo Yan, so he took a big step forward.
Bo Yan did the same. He didn't look back until she couldn't see her back at all, and walked back with the same determination.
Separation is already a common thing for them. Both of them are ambitious. He will not force Xia Siyu to quit the industry and make soup, and she will not be willing to just be a rich wife with nothing to do.
Since the goals are the same, the brief separation doesn't matter.

When Xia Siyu arrived in Los Angeles, she had fourteen days to prepare. She has absolutely no problem with English and can communicate without any barriers. Although she hired a translator, it was not for her, but for Xiao Tang and Wei Jingjing. Although Wei Jingjing and Xiao Tang also went to college, their English had been returned to their teachers many years after graduation. . Even if you haven't paid it back, most of the English teaching in China is mute English. You can do reading comprehension but not speaking.
The language issue is a trivial matter, as is eating habits. In fact, Xia Siyu grew up in Sicily, and she does not resist Western-style food. But for the sake of Wei Jingjing, Xiao Tang and other staff, she also hired a Chinese chef to be responsible for her team's daily meals.
Boyan reminded her that as soon as she arrived, she contacted a lawyer and a bodyguard company. Although she couldn't carry a gun, bodyguards could. She also bought medical insurance. She herself was not short of money and could afford to go to the hospital. But if the accompanying people also had to be hospitalized, well, then they should all buy insurance.
In addition to these life problems, in terms of work, the director knew that she was good at kung fu, but he did not expect that she could also ride a heavy motorcycle. Just when she was performing in the play, she needed to ride a motorcycle. Originally, I planned to use a stand-in, but I was pleasantly surprised when Xia Siyu knew how to do it.
As for firearms, she is also very good at it. Many Chinese actors don't know how to handle guns because there is no environment in China, but Xia Siyu actually knows how to do it.
The director originally thought that he had chosen a beautiful actress with good acting skills, but he did not expect that she could do a lot.
After the crew is ready, they will go to Quebec first. The crew here directly set up a studio, and except for some outdoor scenes, most of the filming was done inside the studio. John Scott was also very romantic as rumored. During the filming period, he had two girlfriends. Apart from personal life, it's a pleasure to work together.
During the filming, Xia Siyu also encountered something else: her 30th birthday.
In fact, it's not a big deal. Birthdays happen every year, and turning thirty is just a round number.
But in China, there has been a saying of "standing at thirty" since ancient times. At the age of thirty, one has basically finished his studies and is working hard in society. At the age of thirty, some people are already married and even have children, and their lives have entered a new stage. At the age of thirty, the youthful spirit has dissipated a lot, and what is left is not ideal, but reality.
For Xia Siyu, the biggest meaning of turning thirty is that she failed. Before she was thirty, her mother won two movie queens and had quit the entertainment industry to get married. She was even in her mother's belly at that time.
But she still hasn't won the leading actress award and is still struggling. Although I have a husband, I don’t want to quit the industry, and I don’t want to put my family first.
Moreover, Bo Yan can't come yet.
The crew knew her birthday and held a small birthday party. John Scott slapped the cake on her face, and she grabbed the cream and spread it back. But after the trouble, I went back to the hotel and chatted with Boyan. When I saw his familiar face on the video call, I seemed to have a vague idea of what the meaning of thirty was.
Although the PK with Shang Feier still has a year to expire, there are still three awards left, unless she wins them all, or at least two. Otherwise, if you want to win against Shang Feier, you are just talking nonsense.
But she has calmed down now. The only thing she is looking forward to is that she and Bo Yan can meet again at the Venice Film Festival.
Yes, "Spring Light", which has been waiting for three years, has finally entered the main competition section of the Venice Film Festival. She and Boyan will also be present as the male and female leads. Moreover, although her thirtieth birthday falls today on the solar calendar, that day is her birthday on the lunar calendar, which just makes up for her birthday.
Anyway, there are other crew members participating in the Venice Film Festival, so it’s okay to take a day off from time to time.
Soon, at the end of August, the sun was still shining brightly in Italy, and Xia Siyu came to Venice.
