Xue Yao gave Xia Yitong a thumbs up.
There is an old saying: The disciple surpasses the master. Xia Yitong is much more advanced than Lu Yinbing who only knows how to play straight shots. Lu Yinbing either doesn't say anything or tells you everything. Why would he be so slow and half-hidden, and patiently persuasive
Xue Yao: "Can I ask your purpose for revealing this now?"
She and Lu Yinbing have been together for more than three years, and they started selling the "sisterly love" persona two years ago. If they wanted to show their affection blatantly, they could have picked any time within these two years and both of them could have shown their love together. Why did they choose when Lu Yinbing went abroad
"It was an impulse at first," Xia Yitong said, "A month ago, Chen Muyang and I were involved in a scandal, didn't you know?"
Xue Yao nodded.
"I'm tired of this kind of life. For the sake of so-called topicality, my name is always listed side by side with another person, but that person is not Lu Yinbing. In the past three years, I can't count how many rumored boyfriends I have had. I don't care, and Lu Yinbing didn't say anything. That's because we are all in this circle, you enjoy such popularity and pursuit, and you become the topic of conversation after dinner."
Xue Yao stood up and poured a glass of water for each of them and brought it over.
Xia Yitong thanked me and said, "But in this circle, Lu Yinbing has no scandals because she doesn't rely on scandals and popularity to make a living. Now I don't need to rely on these either. I can finally choose what I like. Lu Yinbing is recuperating abroad. If she always sees me having scandals with various people in China, she won't be happy even if she knows it's fake."
"After all, it's all for Lu Yinbing?" Xue Yao shook her head and sighed, "Did she save the Milky Way in her previous life?"
"It's me who saved the Milky Way." Xia Yitong blew the water in the cup, took a sip, and smiled with bright eyes, "It's not entirely for this reason. It's a feeling. I feel like the time is almost right. I might as well stop hiding it every day. You'll know sooner or later."
In fact, Xia Yitong chose this time because of Lu Yinbing's going abroad. It was also a selfish idea. She didn't want to wait here and wanted Lu Yinbing to come back earlier.
There are still many things that Lu Yinbing doesn’t know. She used to think there was no need to say them, but now she thinks it doesn’t hurt to say them.
The calculating smile that Xue Yao was familiar with flashed across her face again. Xue Yao hurriedly said, "Next time, please discuss with me before you do anything, so that I won't be scared to death by you at my age."
"I will. Wasn't what happened yesterday an accident?" Xia Yitong responded with an innocent smile.
Xue Yao rolled her eyes, indicating that if she believed you, even a sow could climb a tree. If it was really an accident, why would you still talk so clearly about it
None of them are worry-free.
"Since you have your plan, I will tell the people below not to worry about this matter." Xue Yao said.
"Well, let netizens let themselves go." The richer the imagination, the better; the more people believe her, the happier she will be.
Xue Yao felt that her hairline had maintained its original front line, and she happily invited Xia Yitong out for dinner. The two of them ate mutton hotpot in a copper pot and talked about the new movie while eating.
There are currently three scripts, one romantic comedy, one crime drama, and one niche art film with a sensitive background. The scripts are all OK, and they need to be improved later. The first two are commercial films. As for the roles, the comedy and art film are the female lead, while the crime drama is the absolute male lead. The role given to her is the female role with the most scenes, but compared with the male lead, it is equivalent to the second female lead.
Under current market conditions, crime dramas are the most popular. As long as the script and actors are good, plus the publicity and promotion are not a drag, making money is not a problem at all, and it will also help to consolidate Xia Yitong's film appeal. The male lead has been decided, and it is a certain movie emperor, who is definitely a powerful actor. It can be said that as long as Xia Yitong nods, this film will be more than half successful.
Art films are cool, but the subject matter is a bit dangerous, involving politics, and it is hard to say whether they can pass the review. It is possible that the film that has been made with great effort cannot be released at all. Xue Yao helped her to reject this film. In addition to this, there is another reason, "The route I gave you is not to just go for awards and pull out an art goddess that no one knows, but to take care of both sides like Lu Yinbing. You have made too many art films and you need to change your mind occasionally. Your last movie has achieved good results and has a good reputation. What else is missing? The box office is missing."
"But the box office of 'Breaking Snow' is already very good." Xia Yitong scooped a piece of mutton into his bowl and smiled.
"But that was two years ago. We can't just rest on our laurels." Xue Yao frowned and said, "You don't really want to take on 'Years', do you?"
"Years" is the name of that art film.
"No," Xia Yitong said, "I want to take another one."
It's not a crime drama, nor an art film, so there's only one left, a romantic comedy. Xue Yao was stunned for a few seconds as if struck by lightning, and said, "What's wrong with your brain?"
Xia Yitong shook his chopsticks: "No, I've seriously considered it and want to challenge myself."
"It's quite challenging." Xue Yao chuckled.
Romance movies are a timeless film theme. Titanic has been a favorite in the hearts of countless people for many years. However, once the adjective "domestic" is added before the word "romance movie", it is definitely a bad movie. Every year, there are endless bad domestic romance movies, which has made Xue Yao feel physically sick.
You can't just take challenges recklessly. It's not that Xue Yao doesn't believe in Xia Yitong, but it's because a person's established mindset is difficult to change. In the minds of the majority of moviegoers, domestic romance films are synonymous with bad films. How good must Xia Yitong's film be to break through everyone's mental shackles of so many years and make them willingly walk into the cinema and choose it among the dazzling array of films.
Xia Yitong's previous two films, "Breaking Snow" won the box office championship of the year, and "Foster Mother" made her the queen of the year. For the third film, it is a good time to strike while the iron is hot. If it fails quietly, then the reputation and value that Xia Yitong had previously created will be greatly reduced.
This is not a challenge, this is an adventure.
"Do you really want to act?" Xue Yao asked.
"Yes." Xia Yitong answered her firmly.
Xue Yao: "Okay, let's play this role."
Crime dramas are now flooding the market, and most of them are below average. Occasionally, there are some high-quality ones that are above average, and the box office response will be very good, but people also have aesthetic fatigue. They think they are great when they watch them, but forget about them in two days. On the contrary, although romance films are also flooding the market, it is not easy to have a high-quality one in a year. Once one is released, it will definitely become the dark horse of the year, leaving a deeper impression on the audience and more discussion. Another point is that romance films can make people pay more attention to the actors themselves than drama films. In simple terms, they are more popular.
Why can't we believe that Xia Yitong will be the dark horse
"You agreed?" Xia Yitong was a little surprised. She thought Xue Yao would persuade her to choose a crime film.
"I've agreed. Why not? It's just a movie. If it fails, I can promote you. It's just a matter of putting in a little more effort." Xue Yao said, "You're the leading actress. In that crime drama, the most outstanding character must be the male lead, not you. It doesn't matter if you don't act."
She said this, but she had another idea in her heart. Xia Yitong was really becoming more and more like Lu Yinbing, whether it was her occasional cunning and calculation, or her current confidence and determination in dealing with the script. Do people really become more and more like each other after being together for a long time? How could they be similar in these aspects? Or were they originally the same type of people, attracted to each other, and came together.
No matter which one it is, it is so enviable.
Xue Yao couldn't help but sigh.
These two, even when separated, can still stuff cold dog food into their mouths.
Xia Yitong asked: "What's wrong?"
Xue Yao didn't have the nerve to say that she was sighing because she was a single Corgi, so she covered it up by saying "Eat meat, eat meat".
…
Pacific Time is originally later than Eastern Time. Lu Yinbing took a long-distance flight and felt unwell when he got off. He took a taxi back to his residence. He had an attack at night and was sweating profusely. After recovering, he forced himself to take a shower and fell asleep.
After sleeping for a whole day and night, she opened her eyes feeling dizzy and wanted to continue sleeping. However, when she woke up, her stomach protested strongly and she was growling with hunger. She put on a coat casually, went down the stairs, covered her mouth with her hands, and yawned from time to time, looking like a lazy cat that had not woken up yet.
"Mom, is there anything to eat?"
"Yes, it's in the kitchen, get it yourself. Remember to put it in the microwave." Liu Xinmin was watching TV in the living room at home, her eyes fixed on it. Lu Yinbing glanced at it and saw "Mei Qi".
Xia Yitong pulled out the knife from behind her, and there was a clanging sound of metal. Her knife was very fast, and it danced so fast that it was impenetrable. There was a bright light and shadow, and not even a fly could fly in.
Lu Yinbing smiled, went to the kitchen to find leftovers, put them in the microwave, then carried the food to the coffee table, moved a small stool, and watched her girlfriend's TV series with her mother.
She had already watched it once, and it was probably not the first time for Liu Xinmin to watch it either, as she was still working in a certain bureau when the TV series was approved. But Liu Xinmin still watched it very seriously, and when she was nervous, she grabbed the sofa cover with both hands, not even breathing.
Lu Yinbing felt a sense of honor.
After one episode ended and the ending theme played, Lu Yinbing logged into Weibo as usual and searched for the keyword Xia Yitong. The first piece of content that appeared was: Xia Yitong is involved in a homosexual scandal again!
Lu Yinbing was furious and sat up straight. It wasn't enough that she had a scandal with Chen Muyang last month. Now who is this flirtatious little bitch? Is it the one who stutters
Lu Yinbing was furious. He looked back and the more he looked, the more he felt something was wrong.
Huh? Wait.
That flirtatious little bitch seems to be... me? ! ! !
