* Falling in Love with the Movie King */16
All the filming for "Hegemony" had been completed. After nearly nine months of filming, the show finally came to an end.
Shui Junyao and Zhao Xuan's love story also had a perfect ending. No matter how reluctant the audience was, an end was an end. And in these few months, the number of fans who supported Zheng Xuanlin and Tao Wan as a couple was no less than the number of fans who supported Zheng Xuanlin and Cheng Yi.
Cheng Yi had previously accused Tao Wan of being a mistress and even hinted that Zheng Xuanlin was a two-timing scumbag. In the end, it was revealed that he had actually been married for two years. Normally, when celebrities got married, only the fans would be sad. The rational fans would give their blessings.
After getting married and then getting divorced, as long as there were no scandals, it wouldn't affect the celebrities too much. But when he was married, he still promoted the couple and then framed others, causing the fans of Zheng Xuanlin and Tao Wan to be very unhappy. He also gained a lot of haters and many people chased after him to scold him.
But as long as his bed photos weren't exposed, with his popularity, it wouldn't be a big deal for him to keep a low profile for a period of time. But their company suddenly closed down. Their chairman, the old man with the surname Jin, was so angry that he had a stroke and was still bedridden.
Cheng Yi couldn't figure out what kind of backing Zheng Xuanlin had, to be able to close down their company and prevent him from getting any work.
After "Hegemony" finished airing, Zheng Xuanlin called for a press conference.
"The purpose of this press conference is to announce an important matter." Zheng Xuanlin sat in the middle of the long table. On both sides of the table were the people in charge of his studio and his two managers.
All the cameras were already set up. Some media outlets even started a live broadcast. This was a popular way of interviewing. Live broadcast interviews allowed netizens to see the entire process and not be misled by the media's exaggerated reports.
The reporters were also ready. They took out their computers and started to take notes.
"From today onwards, I will officially withdraw from the entertainment industry and will no longer act as an actor."
The reporters were all stunned. They guessed that he was going to announce his relationship, and they also thought that he was going to announce his marriage. But she never expected that he would announce his retirement from the entertainment industry. Wasn't this too sudden? He was currently popular and stood at the top of the A-list celebrities. He also had a TV series that was still very popular. There was no reason for him to leave the industry.
The fans who were watching the live broadcast were shocked.
— Are you kidding me? Isn't that right? Isn't that right?
— — Hurry up and say you're joking! You're going to scare me to death. My heart isn't good, so please don't gasp for air!
[Why did you suddenly leave the industry?] There was no reason at all.
Don't panic, he must be joking to scare us. "— — That's definitely not true.
— — Don't joke about this!
"Excuse me, is what you said true?" A reporter couldn't help but ask.
"It's true. My studio will be disbanded from today onwards. I won't take any more jobs."
"Are you kidding with us? Are you really leaving the entertainment industry? "Another reporter couldn't help but ask again.
"I'll say it one last time. From today onwards, I will no longer act as an actor. I won't participate in any variety shows, and I won't take on any endorsements or activities. In other words, I won't act anymore, and I won't be a celebrity. Do you understand? "
"May I ask why you're leaving the entertainment industry?"
"I want to go back and inherit my family business. That's one of the reasons. I originally wanted to stay in the entertainment industry for a few more years, but after what happened last time, I decided to leave the industry early. "
"What happened last time? What exactly are you referring to?"
The reporters couldn't think of anything that could cause him to leave the industry. The most serious thing that happened to him was probably the time he was called a cheating scumbag.
But after that, Cheng Yi's marriage was exposed. Didn't that prove that he wasn't with Cheng Yi? Cheng Yi didn't want to be known for having an affair, so he personally came out to clarify that he wasn't with Zheng Xuanlin. He even said that during the interview, he wasn't talking about Zheng Xuanlin and that the reporters had misunderstood.
Moreover, which celebrity hadn't been scolded before? He was already considered quite clean in the entertainment industry.
"Initially, I was only interested in acting and wanted to do my best in it. But after entering the entertainment industry, it's hard not to be affected by some dirty things. Although I'm very grateful for my fans' support, I'd rather they didn't like me. "
The reporters looked at each other and thought to themselves, so he left the industry because of his fans? Isn't that even stranger? Weren't his fans quite protective of him?
"Fans are a little distant from our lives, so they rely on their imagination for a lot of things. They would rather believe in their imagination than believe in what I say. For example, I've said many times that I've never dated a certain someone. But some fans just don't believe me. They just feel that there's something going on between us. "
"There are also some fans who want to control my life and think that I should remain single. I want to tell these fans that it's my freedom to like whoever I want. If you think that as a celebrity, I should put my fans first and that you, as my fans, have the right to tell me what to do, then from now on, I'm no longer a celebrity. I'm no longer an artist. You don't have to pay attention to me anymore and you don't have the right to tell me what to do or not to do. "
Zheng Xuanlin stood up and said, "I've already said what I wanted to announce today and what I wanted to say. I'll emphasize this one last time. I'm going to live my life. As long as I don't break the law or violate any morals, I can live my life however I want. Please don't tell me what to do. "
After Zheng Xuanlin left, the reporters were stunned for a long time before they recovered from their shock. This was the first time such a famous celebrity had announced his retirement from the industry because he couldn't stand his fans. But after thinking about it, was it really necessary for him to leave the industry just like that? His current achievements were the dreams of many people. Even if they worked hard for a few lifetimes, they might not be able to achieve them. How could he let go of it so easily and give it up just like that?
The Internet was already in an uproar.
[Don't! Are you going to leave the industry just because of these things? It's really not necessary. You worked so hard to get to where you are today. You can't give up just like that!]
[Why care about those brainless people? It's not worth it for them to leave the industry. We rational fans only believe what you say. If you announce your relationship, we'll definitely give you our blessings.]
[We won't tell you what to do anymore. You shouldn't leave the industry, right?]
[In the future, we'll only pay attention to your work and not your life. If you're tired, take a break for a while. If there's a good script, please act in it.]
[Are the couple fans satisfied? Are the loyal fans satisfied? Are the brainless fans satisfied?] I don't know if you're satisfied or not, but the fans of other celebrities will definitely be satisfied. With one less competitor, they'll have many more opportunities.]
[I really don't understand. Those fans who want celebrities to stay single and those who want a couple to be together, why should their lives and relationships be controlled by you guys? If you don't like them, you'll scold them. You really think too highly of yourself.]
[That's right. Celebrities are human too. They have their own feelings too. Shouldn't they have the final say in who they like and dislike?]
[Actually, if we put ourselves in their shoes, as ordinary people, we don't like to be forced into a relationship with someone we don't like. If our relationship doesn't receive blessings and the person we like is scolded, we'll be very sad too, right? Why must they accept all this just because they're celebrities?]
Actually, Zheng Xuanlin wanted to leave the industry himself. But he still had to announce that he had gotten his marriage certificate, and Tao Wan still wanted to continue acting. He didn't want his fans to think that he was leaving the industry because he wanted to marry Tao Wan. That would cause Tao Wan to be scolded. In order to protect Tao Wan, he might as well put the blame on his fans and let them scold each other. Although he couldn't stand some of his fans, that was also one of the reasons.
Zheng Xuanlin was at the peak of his acting career when he suddenly announced that he was leaving the industry. This shocked the entire entertainment industry. There were many celebrities who left the industry, but most of them left because they couldn't survive. Some of them were going to marry into rich families and then slowly retire. Zheng Xuanlin couldn't possibly be marrying into a rich family, right? He didn't look like someone who was going to marry. Could it be that he was going to marry into her family?
The fans tried all sorts of ways to persuade him to stay. The other celebrities also had their own thoughts. Some didn't understand, some guessed other reasons, some were secretly happy, and some felt that it was a pity.
But Zheng Xuanlin was determined to leave the industry. He had already released a statement on his personal page and removed his identity as an actor and artist. His studio's page also released a public statement, announcing that he was officially disbanding.
Before the heated discussion about this matter died down, Zheng Xuanlin appeared on the business news with another identity, shocking the Internet and the entertainment industry once again.
The heir of the Zheng Group finally appeared. This mysterious person was actually the Best Actor, Zheng Xuanlin.
Those who were puzzled and didn't understand how he did it and how he was willing to give up his hard work to achieve success finally understood. After all this time, he really wanted to go back and inherit his family business. The entertainment industry was just for fun. In the entertainment industry, no matter how great his achievements were, could it compare to the Zheng Group?
When Cheng Yi saw the news, he almost broke down. Zheng Xuanlin was actually the heir of the Zheng Group. Therefore, he had been going around in circles all these years, not hesitating to sell his body and even his soul, all for the sake of finding a strong backer, hoping to enter a rich and powerful family. In the end, a stronger backer, a stronger wealthy family, was it within his reach from the start?
"Ah!!" Cheng Yi screamed and then broke down crying. He hated himself for missing out on the person he shouldn't have missed out on the most. He also hated Zheng Xuanlin for hiding his identity from him. If he knew from the start that Zheng Xuanlin was the heir of the Zheng Group, he wouldn't have made the deal with him no matter what.
He used to love him so much, but because it was difficult to choose between him and his future, he was almost torn to pieces. However, he had hidden his true background and identity from him for so many years.
And what made Cheng Yi even more devastated was that his bed photos were exposed on the Internet.
The overwhelming abuse and humiliation made Cheng Yi not dare to go out or surf the Internet. He hid at home every day, looking haggard and haggard.
Cheng Yi curled up on the bed and had a strong feeling of wanting to be free.
He knew that his life was over. Everything he had done in the past had been exposed one by one. Even his fans felt that he was disgusting and hated people like him to death.
Not only did his image collapse, but he was also surrounded by scandals. Whenever he went out, people would point at him and scold him.
Cheng Yi thought that instead of enduring all this pain and suffering, it was better to end everything now. Maybe there would be a new beginning.
He didn't know if there really was such a thing as reincarnation. If there was, he hoped that he would just be an ordinary person in his next life. He didn't want to have so much ambition and make so many wrong decisions.
