Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The female host could not stand it any longer and wanted to step forward to help Gu Xingze. Unexpectedly, Gu Xingze lifted his leg and with a kick, sent her tumbling off the stage. It was not known whether this was intentional.
“Out!”
“Hahahaha!”
The audience laughed hysterically.
This time, it was two versus one.
Yun Shishi smiled slyly as she and Hua Jin surrounded him. She did not expect Gu Xingze to be putting up such a strong fight still, even after losing a teammate. In just two minutes, he had defeated both of them.
The entire audience erupted in an uproar!
The viewership ratings for the game segment rose steadily, and they quickly obtained the highest viewership ratings.
In the following talent show segment, the production team sent Yun Shishi out to showcase her singing skills.
She sang the theme song of a television series “The Lunatic”.
The lyrics of this song was written by Yun Shishi, and music composed by Gu Xingze.
As the theme song for the pilot television series “Ace Intelligence Agency”, they had spent no small sum to secure the rights to debut it.
At first, Yun Shishi was a little nervous. After all, she did not think that her singing skills were that good.
But as the atmosphere warmed up, she gradually relaxed.
All the guests were seated on the sofa. Yun Shishi stood in the middle of the stage, holding the microphone and singing passionately—
“The only crazy thing I ever did
Was to love you till the end of the world
Only so far
Your story
Has no place for me
I’ve become a captured hostage
I’ve come to a dead end and lost all ability to reason
But your obsession
Your memories
Know not my name
It has left no trace in your heart
…
Waking up from my dreams
I’m a lunatic who loves you
Missing the past
I’m a lunatic who hates you
But…
But…
My heart aches
You don’t understand
I fear being too late
Being too late
To love you one more time
How lucky I should be
To have met you in my life
…”
The melody was beautiful and poetic, but it was filled with despair.
Gu Xingze watched her silently from start to finish. Even when the song ended, he was still lost in his thoughts.
Next up was the interview. The main cast sat on the sofa while the host continued to ask questions about the filming.
After a while, the emcee suddenly turned to Gu Xingze and asked curiously, “Xingze, you’ve not filmed much in the last few years. ‘Extreme Youth’ was probably your first production after a two-year hiatus in the television industry, right?”
He nodded lightly.
The host continued asking, “Why did you take on this television drama?”
Another emcee chimed in, “I heard that Gu Xingze enjoys racing normally, and his driving skills are outstanding.”
He said unhurriedly, “Actually, this is probably my last television drama.”
“Oh?!”
The host widened his eyes in surprise.
The other creative team members were also surprised.
This wasn’t in the script.
“Are you planning to place all your focus on the film industry from now on?”
The man replied, “No.”
“Then… what’s the reason for this decision?”
He lifted his eyes slightly to face the camera, his lips turning up slightly in a subtle smile. “Because I intend to officially quit the entertainment industry.”
The air suddenly became still.
She looked at him sharply.
The crowd broke out in an uproar.
The audience gasped.
Of course the fans could not believe it!
“Liar!”
“Chairman Gu is being naughty again!”
Chairman Gu was the affectionate nickname his fans had given him, because he had founded the studio, and officially became the boss.
