Gu Xiao nodded, confirming Tian Xian’s guess.
After obtaining a new idea, Tian Xian could not wait to use Huang Tu to try this method. However, before Tian Xian could take action, the final outcome of Xu Xi was also revealed.
Three days after Xiao Xiao stopped acting, Xu Xi’s last hope was completely dispelled.
Xiao Xiao and Xu Xi’s production team suddenly posted a Weibo message on their official Weibo.
The person who left the production team was not Xiao Xiao, who wanted to terminate the contract, but Xu Xi, who had been obedient for the past three days.
The official news from the production team said that due to the internal adjustment of Huang Tu’s work, they could only change actors.
The female lead was still Xiao Xiao, and the male lead, which was Xu Xi’s previous role, was going to be played by a capable actor from Huang Tu who had better acting skills.
As for the original male lead, Xu Xi… he was not mentioned in the production team’s official Weibo.
The popularity of Xu Xi had not completely subsided. Naturally, many netizens were paying attention to Xu Xi’s every move. This big production of Xu Xi as the male lead was also under the attention of the netizens.
Hence, as soon as the official Weibo news of the production team was released, it attracted the attention of many netizens.
After a while, the topic of #Xu Xi losing the role of the male lead because of the backlash of his evil# gradually became a trending topic.
As the protagonist of this matter, Xu Xi also found out the news of him being replaced, like the rest of the netizens.
Xu Xi could not describe what he was thinking when he saw the trending topic of the role being changed.
He was silent for a long time before he finally digested the news online.
Xu Xi held the phone in his hand. After a while, he called his manager.
“Why did the production team change me? You, you clearly said before that the contract terms for this drama is very strict and actors won’t be changed easily. Also, why didn’t anyone inform me that I had been changed?!”
The manager was completely certain that Xu Xi had no chance of making a comeback. He was not even willing to give Xu Xi the last bit of patience.
“There’s nothing we can do about it.”
The manager’s voice sounded even colder through the phone, making Xu Xi shiver uncontrollably.
“Xiao Xiao is making a fuss and is unwilling to partner with you. If the company forces Xiao Xiao, Xiao Xiao will request to terminate the contract with the company. You should understand the company’s choice now.”
When Xu Xi heard this, he suddenly tightened his grip on his phone. A trace of hatred and helplessness flashed across his eyes.
The current results already showed very well how the company had chosen.
In the end, it was because he wasn’t popular enough and didn’t have enough fans. He didn’t have any backing or confidence to chenge their minds.
When he and Xiao Xiao were placed on the same scale, the higher-ups of the company naturally would not choose him. Hence, when there was a conflict between him and Xiao Xiao, he could only become the one who was abandoned.
Just like this time.
Xu Xi hung up the phone silently. He sat on the hotel bed and laughed silently.
As he laughed, tears rolled down his cheeks.
See, this was the crudest truth of the entertainment industry. If one was not popular, they would never have human rights and would never be favored.
So, what was wrong with him wanting to be famous? He wanted to be famous desperately, so why couldn’t anyone understand him? He just didn’t want to go back to being an extra on the bench. What was wrong with that?
Why, why couldn’t they just spare him?
However, no one cared about the bitterness and tragedy in Xu Xi’s heart.
The crew even knocked on his door and asked him, an “unrelated person”, to leave the production team as soon as possible.
After all, as the male lead of a big production, Xu Xi’s room was the best suite in a five-star hotel. In a day, the production team had to spend a lot of money on the accommodations.
Under the urging of the staff, Xu Xi dragged his luggage out of the hotel and the production team in a sorry state, looking lonely.
However, in the entertainment industry, no one would comfort a “useless” person like Xu Xi. It was already good enough that they did not laugh at him behind his back.
As for Xu Xi’s figure, which was leaving with his luggage, it was posted online by an unknown netizen, and it immediately attracted the attention of a group of netizens..
