Chapter 2857: Actor Misguided the Nation?
“I… I understand.”
Yun Shishi hung up.
Qin Zhou wanted her to stay out of this matter.
But no matter what, how could she not think about it?
She could not help feeling vexed and certainly did not have a good night’s rest.
After a heated discussion in the WeChat group, the director said, “Xingze’s announcement of his withdrawal from the entertainment industry is a personal decision! We have no right to interfere with his life! Let’s not discuss it endlessly!”
Very quickly, the group fell silent.
On Weibo, however, the heated discussions about Gu Xingze continued.
As if it was the end of the world, many fans expressed their desire on Weibo for the idol to stay. Many of them posted Gu Xingze’s records, movies, albums, and various related articles. Some of the posters had already turned yellow, marked by the traces of time.
Some of the records had Gu Xingze’s signature on them.
One of the fans cried and lamented that Gu Xingze represented her entire youth.
She had initially thought that she could be a fan of this idol until the end of time.
Her words resonated with countless fans.
Those who had never followed an idol, would probably not understand how it felt.
It was a feeling that was even more painful than falling out of love!
At this point, quite a number of keyboard warriors also made an appearance, accusing Gu Xingze’s fans of being brainless.
“Instead of paying attention to things that matter, you people give your attention to an actor! An actor is indeed a national disaster! Focusing on a celebrity instead of matters of national interest indeed. The youngsters nowadays are thoroughly disappointing!”
“I heard that Gu Xingze draws a nine-figure annual income! He’s just an actor, and he is able to earn so much money? Even those hardworking scientists and researchers battling in the frontline don’t earn one percent of this, right?!”
“This country is doomed!”
…
Very quickly, some fans retorted.
“We can’t make decisions on national matters! But after liking Xingze for so many years, we’ve gotten a lot of positive energy from him! He works hard and is passionate about public welfare. He’s an outstanding young idol!”
“There are too many fascinating aspects about him! This is irreplaceable!”
“Loving Xingze has become a way of life for countless fans!”
…
The verbal spar continued to escalate.
After Gu Xingze announced his withdrawal from the entertainment industry, it triggered a series of fights.
Yun Shishi did not wish to focus on all these distractions. She placed her phone by her pillow, but her mind was preoccupied.
…
The next morning, Yun Shishi was woken up by Xiao Xue’s call!
“Shishi!!!”
A deafening roar!
Xiao Xue wailed in despair, “Did you know? Xingze has announced his withdrawal from the entertainment industry! Sob, sob, sob!! What should I do?! What should I do?! I’ve fallen out of love!”
As expected, just as Qin Zhou had said, Gu Xingze held a grand press conference at the conference hall of a five-star hotel, at 9 am.
Gu Xingze stood calmly on the stage before the camera.
The flashlights illuminated his face.
“I officially announce that from today onwards, I, Gu Xingze, will withdraw from the entertainment industry.”
Having said this, he bowed deeply, his calm expression hidden in the shadows.
The press conference was broadcast live on various online video platforms. The television stations took turns to broadcast the news and reported on the matter seriously.
Big screens in the malls projected Gu Xingze’s calm and good-looking face.
Many fans gathered under the big screen. When they heard this news, they covered their mouths, trying to stifle their cries.
