Chapter 1001: Chapter 992: Rumors (4)

Bo Yan smiled: “If there’s an opportunity, I will.”

She glanced at Xia Siyu, who repeated her usual line: “It depends on whether the script is suitable, whether the role fits.”

In short, she wouldn’t agree to act in a role just because someone was the lead—even if that person was Bo Yan.

Besides, maybe it was because these two were just naturally entertaining. Whether they were sparring or collaborating, their every move attracted attention. The host, unintentionally, ended up sidelining Shang Feifei, focusing solely on the pair.

After one round of questions, the male host next to her tried to regain control and steered the topic back to Shang Feifei: “And Fei’er, what do you think?”

Shang Feifei might have felt jealous before, or even harbored animosity toward Xia Siyu. But now, she was just another bystander watching the drama unfold between Bo Yan and Xia Siyu with mild amusement. Especially since the last time fans argued over billing order, she discovered that Xia Siyu wasn’t even concerned about it, so she couldn’t be bothered to care anymore.

In any case, her rivalry with Xia Siyu was fair and aboveboard, so she wasn’t worried about her playing tricks. There was no point in getting into petty fights.

She smiled warmly and said, “It’s great. The team is professional, and the director is dedicated. If there’s a chance, I’d love to collaborate again.”

See? She was being truthful as well, just more tactful than Xia Siyu. The impression she left was completely different. Plus, she had never tried hyping up a CP (Character Pairing) with Bo Yan, which made her more favorable in the eyes of fans.

Immediately, fans of Bo Yan flooded online forums, praising her: “Still love seeing Fei’er and Yan Bao working together!”

In a way, Xia Siyu was quite decent too. At the very least, she had never tried to stir up hype by pairing herself romantically with Bo Yan—even after collaborating on two projects. They still acted like they disliked each other. Because of the mutual disdain, Bo Yan’s fans couldn’t organize large-scale attacks on Xia Siyu’s films—there wasn’t anything to criticize.

After all, movies are different from TV dramas. Films rely on walk-in audiences. The broader public truly holds the voting power. Even if fans pull off gimmicks like artificially boosting box office numbers or locking screenings (buying a few tickets per showing to prevent theaters from removing the film from rotation), a mediocre movie will remain mediocre. A good movie, one with a high attendance rate, will still blow up.

No matter what others thought, Xia Siyu always marched to the beat of her own drum. After the guest interviews concluded, the performers couldn’t leave immediately. According to tradition, they had to stick around for other segments tied to the program before departing.

Wang Ju was writing New Year couplets—this was a chance to showcase his talent. He had trained for years, was even a member of the Calligraphy Association, and had excellent handwriting. Wang Ju wrote a couplet with both vertical lines, but it was missing the horizontal one.

He handed the brush to Bo Yan, who adjusted his shirt, making it neater before he even picked up the brush. Then, in one fluid motion, with bold and sharp strokes, he completed the horizontal line.

Bo Yan’s handwriting, while not particularly artistic—it wasn’t his area of expertise, after all—was impressively stable and effortless, with a graceful flair to it. He had practiced his writing enough to look confident and polished. The result was quite aesthetically pleasing. This time, the New Year celebration featured an auction, with all proceeds donated to impoverished mountain regions. Shang Feifei was responsible for hyping up the event.

The auction allowed bids both online and in person. However, average viewers weren’t typically the ones paying for these items—it was mostly major corporations. After all, amounts often reached millions, which weren’t sums most ordinary people could afford.

After the bidding commenced, the highest bidder turned out to be a company called “Shengxia Furniture,” whose chairman, Xia Youbiao, was seated right below!
