Chapter 693: Withdrawing
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
There had only been three recordings and only two rounds of competition had been carried out, and so many things had already happened.
Not a single one of the audience members was left.
The audience had signed a confidentiality agreement and could not reveal the filming content. đđžđœđđ©đźđđ.đŹđȘđ
However, that didnât mean that they couldnât tell others about Zhang Lun and Chengbingâs actions and the subsequent conflict with Haolun and Jiang Xun.
Moreover, when this episode was broadcast, the confidentiality agreement would automatically be voided.
The audience for todayâs match was not bound by any confidentiality agreement. They could talk about it online.
At that time, it would be difficult for this program.
If the reputation collapsed, the netizens would suspect that everyone in the show was following a script and there was no fairness to speak of. At that time, the guests who would participate in this show would be affected one by one.
Gu Fei did not want the good reputation he had built up over the years to be ruined by this show.
Besides, he was innocent in this show.
After Gu Fei considered it, he said to Guixin, âDirector Yang, I know that itâs very difficult now, but Iâm sorry, I have to withdraw from the show.â
âAs for the issue of not being able to fulfill the follow-up contract, you can contact my manager for the details,â Gu Fei said.
Guixin was shocked.
Guixin was completely dumbfounded. He had originally wanted Gu Fei to temporarily take over the judgeâs position.
Why did Gu Fei withdraw while they were talking?
âIâm sorry if my sudden withdrawal will cause some trouble for your program,â Gu Fei said.
Guixinâs face darkened. âTeacher Gu, this has not only brought some trouble to our production team. This has brought a lot of trouble to our program!â âYes.â Gu Fei nodded. No matter what Guixin said, he did not refute.
Guixin was speechless.
âBut thereâs really no other way,â Gu Fei said. âI already mentioned this when we signed the contract. There might be some problems with the schedule later on. Iâve been waiting for a new movie to start. Previously, due to some unexpected circumstances, it had been delayed for a long time. It was impossible to estimate the exact start date. I also told you about this matter. You said that there was no problem and that I could leave at any time if I wanted to film. That was why I agreed to join. I had no intention of scamming the program.â
âIt just so happens that the movie is about to start, so I can only quit.â Gu Fei looked apologetic.
Guixin was speechless.
Iâm listening to your nonsense!
Your excuse is a little too insincere!
How could it be such a coincidence that you are withdrawing today?
Even if you quit next week, Iâll be less suspicious!
He did not have much contact with Gu Fei before, and he only knew that he had a good reputation and good acting skills.
He did not expect Gu Fei to be so slippery.
He must have seen that the situation today was not right and was afraid that participating in the show later would affect his reputation, so he withdrew.
Gu Fei patted Guixinâs shoulder and bowed before leaving.
He quickly gave his agent a call to communicate with him about this matter and agreed on a good excuse.
After hearing Gu Feiâs brief account of what had happened today, the manager said, âBut what if you donât join the crew and Yang Guixin finds out?â
âIsnât that easy?â Gu Fei scoffed. âJust tell him it was delayed again! In any case, we could just find a reason to hide it.â
âAlright.â The manager nodded. âI also feel that you shouldnât participate anymore. This show has only been recorded three times and so many things have happened. Especially todayâs scene where a judge and a guest directly withdrew. The live audience all left the venue to protest. This matter will definitely blow up on the Internet.â
Gu Fei nodded. âI think so too. Furthermore, it would implicate all the participating guests and cause them to be suspected by the netizens.â Gu Fei hung up the call and called for his assistant to pack up and leave.
When the guests saw this, they immediately became anxious.
With Gu Feiâs status, he could simply withdraw from the show at will. Even if he really fell out with the showâs crew, or even offended Xingke Station, he would not appear on Xingke Stationâs shows in the future, but it would not affect him from appearing on other stationsâ shows.
But they couldnât do that!
Right now, they really wanted to quit.
Zhelin went to find his manager with a dark face. âLetâs go too.â
âDidnât Jiang Xun withdraw from the competition?â
âAlthough she withdrew from the competition, she withdrew after winning.â Zhelin said in a deep voice, âI was still eliminated. Moreover, even if I have to make up for it, I wonât go! It will be too embarrassing! Havenât I lost enough face today?â
Zhelin couldnât help but complain. âDidnât I tell you? If the difference between my performance and Jiang Xunâs is too big, then donât let Zhang Lun and Liang Chengbing vote for me.â
âWeâre making a deal with people, not treating them as employees,â The manager said helplessly. âHow can they do whatever you want? Itâs not that easy to control people. After receiving the benefits, they have to manage the after-sales service? Changing strategies according to the situation on the field at any time, thinking so thoroughly?â
âItâs good enough that they could think of a reasonable reason to vote for you. Who knew that they would encounter people like Guo Haolun and Jiang Xun who would not let him go.â The managerâs face darkened as he said, âBesides, didnât Jiang Xun not perform well during your rehearsal? Who knew that she would actually hide her strength during rehearsals? Isnât this a set up? Originally, based on her standard during the rehearsal, we had contacted Zhang Lun and Chengbing. Even if they gave you their votes, there wouldnât be a problem. No one would say anything.â
The manager frowned and got up. âForget it, itâs useless to say this now. Letâs go first. It might be a good thing for you to quit now.â
âWhat do you mean good news!â Zhelin frowned unhappily.
âGu Fei had already withdrawn from the recording earlier.â The manager said, âHeâs been around for so many years and has always steered clear of controversies. Heâs an old fox. He must have felt that the showâs reputation is going to be ruined and he did not want to be implicated by the show.â
âBut my reputation is already ruined,â Zhelin said. âEveryone knows that I told Zhang Lun and Liang Chengbing to vote for me. Wouldnât I be ridiculed to death? I donât not know when they would be able to let this matter go.â
âDonât worry about that.â The manager led Zhelin out as he said, âIâll contact the production team and directly cut out your part. Since Jiang Xun had already withdrawn from the competition, there is no need for her to appear on the show again.â
âIf possible, I want to discuss with the production team to delete even the first round of the competition. Just pretend that you never came to this program. Otherwise, if you advanced in the first round and donât appear in the second round, it would inevitably lead to speculation,â the manager said to Zhelin.
Zhelin thought for a moment and nodded.
He really did not have to worry about filming. He came to this show just to let people see his better acting skills..
