Chapter 2855: Officially Leaving the Entertainment Industry (4)

Naturally, the host did not believe him and asked suspiciously, “Xingze, are you kidding? You can’t do this! You should know that there are many of your loyal fans right here among the audience. If you leave the entertainment industry, your fans will be shocked to tears!”
“I’m not kidding.”
Gu Xingze continued calmly, “It’s been ten years since my debut, and it has indeed been a glorious time, but I think that time has come to an end. The entertainment industry is constantly injected with fresh blood. There are many outstanding newcomers with good acting skills, but they never have the chance to get in front of the cameras. I think that I should step down to give the younger generation more opportunities to perform!”
“No…”
The fans among the audience shrieked uncontrollably.
The situation went out of control.
Many fans started to raise their billboards, shouting Gu Xingze’s name.
The director popped his head out from behind the camera. Caught by surprise, he looked towards the stage with some hesitation. For a moment, he was uncertain. With the situation spiraling out of control, should he break for an advertisement and cut off this segment?
Although it was a live show, the broadcast on TV had a 10-minute delay. This was in case there were any accidents and editing was needed.
Except that in this case, even the director was stunned.
This sudden announcement was not in the script.
Everyone was befuddled and had no idea how to react.
Fortunately, the host was quick-witted and immediately snapped back to his senses. He continued with the interview, “Why have you decided to leave the entertainment industry!? Actually, the glory you’ve achieved since your debut is obvious to all fans! You’re so popular now, isn’t it irrational to choose to leave the entertainment industry?”
“Initially, entering the entertainment industry was just a small part of my life – I wasn’t everything. However, as my popularity increased, this job gradually became a responsibility.”
The idol paused for a moment, the corners of his lips turning up slightly before he continued, “However, the constantly intensive workload wears people out. It was hard to get a good rest every day, because my fans hope to see more of me on screen. My works, my new songs, and even my advertisements. Many of the jobs far exceed my manageable load. Constantly being in this state really makes for a negative… lifestyle.”
“No…”
“Don’t quit the entertainment circle!”
A number of fans started crying emotionally.
Hua Jin was stunned as well.
Yun Shishi had mixed feelings about this, and was at a loss for a reaction.
She had never expected that this show would turn out to be a farewell ceremony for him.
Was he really quitting the entertainment industry?!
Gu Xingze glanced at the audience and suddenly stood up. He walked to the front of the stage and smiled at a fan who was holding her face in great distress. “Please don’t cry anymore.”
“Xingze! Xingze! We love you!”
The fans could not stop crying as they tried to persuade him to stay!
Gu Xingze, however, laughed. “Don’t be sad, huh? Just because I’m leaving the entertainment industry doesn’t mean that you won’t see me in the future. I’m just too tired…”
“Xingze!”
The fans cried, “You don’t have to be so tired! You don’t have to accept so many jobs! We’re willing to wait for you forever!”
“But… without any new works, celebrities will be outdated!”
He replied helplessly, “Being outdated is more painful than being retired.”
“You will never be outdated!”
