Capítulo 1268: Chapter 1259: Unveiling (Part 1)
The rainy season in Jiangnan is particularly wet.
After returning to Yancheng, Bo Yan immediately went to make arrangements.
First, stabilize the other party. Since they have photos to threaten with, there is still room for negotiation if they want money. Since negotiations are required, time is surely needed.
In fact, he is just like Xia Siyu in this matter. If others lack money, he might give it. But if they come knocking with threats, he won’t give a penny. Not only will he not give them anything, but after keeping them hanging, he will even make their ploy public himself.
Xia Siyu also agreed. Although the paparazzi first approached Bo Yan, they will definitely contact Xia Siyu’s team afterward. Money, after all, is never too much for anyone. Although this incident impacts Bo Yan more, and he was the one first contacted. But as the other party involved, considering it could be kept under wraps for half a year, she clearly does not want it public either.
Contacting both ends naturally requires time as well.
Luckily, Xia Siyu and Qin Baizhou were also prepared, keeping a consistent stance: Please wait. Whether gathering money or discussing a solution, time must be given. They are not ATMs for automatic unlimited withdrawals. Even online transfers have limits; how can it be so fast?
Of course, their counterpart isn’t foolish, at most offering them three days to prepare. With three days, it can be believed that Bo Yan’s side has long been ready.
Exposing a scandal, instead, would make things explode with popularity for Xia Siyu. Qin Baizhou and his team are not in a hurry, calmly handling their work.
For instance, two days later, they were originally supposed to attend a variety show, but the meteorological department predicts heavy rain during that time at the location set by the program team. After all, it is a rainy season, and the program team has long chosen a house in the mountains. At the very least, under such heavy rainfall, they can’t shoot a variety show.
Of course, adjusting celebrity schedules is not easy. Two guests have tight schedules and cannot be freed up, requiring further coordination.
However, the two to three days off can be used for other things, such as the team of Qin Baizhou remaining at the company on standby, waiting for word from Bo Yan, while Xia Siyu prepares for Director Wang Ju’s new movie audition.
This time, Director Wang Ju wants to shoot a film set in the Republic of China era, so Xia Siyu prepared for the audition.
She skimmed through the original novel, aiming to audition for the female lead, and practiced according to the script for a while.
Republic of China dramas are different from modern ones. The last one she acted in, directed by Director Ji, was about a female drug lord requiring muscularity, efficiency, and ruthlessness. Although the landlady in the storm was sultry, it was still a modern drama.
As for Republic of China, it’s all about the cheongsam, slender high heels, and thin willow-like eyebrows, an elegant posture. The female lead is a young lady from an eminent family, and also a progressive youth, every move must carry that essence.
Although she had learned dance since childhood under her mother’s guidance, with a decent posture, not hunching nor forward-leaning, she grew up in the wild environment overseas, charging straight ahead with a direct personality. Although her acting in recent films broke new ground, they matched her straightforward nature, never having learned this kind of subtle grace and ancient charm.
Xia Siyu had never performed this type before and was eager to take some Peking Opera lessons to practice posture last-minute. Ultimately, she had Qin Baizhou find a Peking Opera teacher to give her a last-minute crash course for a day.
