“You will never be outdated!”
“You are our eternal star! You are our beloved idol!”
“Xingze, don’t joke around like that! We’ll go crazy!”
“Xingze, if you leave the industry, my heart will die!”
…
The scene became extremely sad.
Even Gu Xingze, who would normally not be emotionally involved in any way, was almost moved to tears by his fans’ passionate attempts to keep him.
He turned around and slowly returned to his seat. When he turned his handsome face back to look into the camera, his eyes were so bloodshot that it made one’s heart ache.
“I made this decision after much consideration!”
Gu Xingze took a deep breath and said steadily, “I’ve booked a flight to America. I’m going back to the university for graduate studies.”
With that, he put down the microphone, stood up, and left the studio resolutely.
The scene went completely out of control.
The fans’ cries drowned out all other noise!
All the main cast members in the filming crew exchanged looks with each other, not knowing what to do!
This was the first time since the broadcast that the program had to be stopped midway due to such an unexpected incident.
…
On Weibo, there were netizens who uploaded edited clips of the program to the internet. The video of Gu Xingze officially announcing his withdrawal from the entertainment industry quickly caused a heated discussion!
“Gu Xingze has announced his withdrawal from the entertainment industry!”
“Gu Xingze’s era is coming to an end with this announcement?!”
“Is there more to Gu Xingze’s withdrawal from the entertainment industry?”
“Gu Xingze is unwell and has announced his withdrawal from the entertainment industry to head to America to recuperate?”
“…”
A commotion erupted on the Internet among the fans, because of this matter.
Gu Xingze’s recent Weibo post was soon trending, and many fans left messages asking their idol to stay.
Many of them had been Gu Xingze’s fans since their schooling days. And now, some of them had become mothers while others had grown up.
Gu Xingze had been in the industry for ten years, and his fans had been around for ten years.
He had been a popular young actor since his debut, and now, he was an all-rounder superstar. The name ‘Gu Xingze’ represented the epitome of their youth.
One could imagine how shocking this news was to his die-hard fans!
It was too sudden!
They were not mentally prepared at all!
This was bad news, and many fans who chased after celebrities could feel how heartbreaking it was!
When the members of the production team got home, Yun Shishi saw that Gu Xingze had quietly left their WeChat group.
Immediately, she called Qin Zhou. When they discussed this matter, he helplessly expressed that he had only just found out about it too.
There was no warning.
Gu Xingze had not mentioned it to anyone before he announced his withdrawal, not even to close friends like Qin Zhou.
“Why is he quitting the entertainment industry for no reason?!”
Yun Shishi was perplexed. “What exactly happened?”
“I’ve been trying to call him since I found out about this, but I couldn’t get through.”
“Could something have happened to him?”
Yun Shishi could not help feeling worried.
“No!” Qin Zhou said firmly. “Shishi, don’t think too much about it. And don’t bother about the rumors online, lest you get distracted! If Xingze has really decided to leave the entertainment industry, there will be a press conference tomorrow morning! This is the procedure. He has always been responsible towards his fans. Even if he leaves, he will give an explanation!”
