why the stars never die

Chapter 13 Leave
In the eyes of fans, Song Zhuoxi is a star who has soared into the sky after working silently for many years.Usually this kind of star gives people a great sense of forbearance and low-key, coupled with Song Zhuoxi's impeccable character and demeanor, fans will naturally form an extremely loyal force.

After he was injured and suspended from work, Jiayu immediately switched to Han Zuzhe's command, and the fans were extremely indignant.Not long after, someone actually organized a large group of people to go to the Juxing Company every day to hold various demonstrations and demand that they fire Jiayu.

This incident soon alarmed the upper management of the Stars, and Wu Cuishan was under a lot of pressure, so she had no choice but to call Jiayu and ask her to issue an apology statement to Song Zhuoxi in her own name.

Jia Yu was shocked: "Director Wu, are you serious? It's normal for fans to behave aggressively sometimes, but once they apologize, it will make things worse."

Wu Cuishan sighed heavily: "You think I don't understand? It's because the upper echelons have explained that the gates of Juxing are blocked, and a large group of people sit outside every day to protest, wanting to condemn what you did to Song Zhuoxi before." Come back, this is what they said."

"No, I can't agree. If I don't apologize, Zhuo Xi will at least understand that I have difficulties. Once I apologize, he will misunderstand."

"Are you sure you don't want to?"

"No." Jia Yu took the initiative to hang up her phone.

She turned around from the corridor, Han Zuzhe's laughter came from the next room.

Today, some relatives of the investors came to visit the class through their connections. He was more active than anyone else, and he even took good care of his relatives.Jia Yu actually admired him for this.

There was a girl of seventeen or eighteen among the relatives, who seemed to be the daughter of one of the investors. When Jia Yu passed by outside the room, she heard her regretfully say: "I thought I would see Song Zhuoxi this time when I returned to China, what a pity." , Why did he get into a car accident. I hope he gets better soon, I like him so much."

Han Zuzhe's laughter changed a bit.

Jia Yu was very comforted. An actor will always be remembered for his work, not his means. Han Zuzhe, you will never understand this.

The fans in Beijing did not give up their plan to continue harassing Juxing, and even made a fuss to the point of calling the police.Wu Cuishan was scolded by the upper management. They thought that Du Jiayu was so arrogant because she spoiled her.

Wu Cuishan had no choice but to call Jia Yu again: "I'm afraid you have to agree. The high-level management thinks that if this continues, it will damage the company's image, so if you don't regress, I'm afraid Song Zhuoxi will also be implicated when he comes back in the future."

Jia Yu thought for a while, it is still uncertain when Song Zhuoxi will come back, if he is implicated at that time, the consequence will definitely be to be hidden in the snow.If that's the case, what's the point of her working so hard here.

"Alright then..." Jia Yu had nothing to say except sighing.

Without a special arrangement for a press conference, Jiayu published an apology statement on his personal blog, which was then republished and posted to everyone by the Multi-Star official.

It was indeed useful, at least some fans felt that she could be saved, so they didn't continue to make trouble.

Wu Cuishan is also worthy of Jia Yu, and took this opportunity to reflect to the high-level management. From this incident, Song Zhuoxi's popularity can also be seen. I hope they don't care too much about immediate interests. After all, this is not the first time that an artist has been injured. It should be a long-term mutually beneficial relationship.

Even so, Jia Yu really couldn't express his gratitude to her.She understood Song Zhuoxi's character so well, if she really apologized seriously, he might take it seriously.

Han Zuzhe had a lot of work to arrange, but she was not in the mood for work, so she locked herself in the room for a whole day. Later, it was Mei Xiaobao who called her and kept amused her, which finally made her feel better.

Thinking about it now, if she and Mei Xiaobao could work together with Song Zhuoxi as before, it would be a very happy thing.

At dinner time, Han Zuzhe's assistant Xiao Zhou came to ask her to eat, frowning all the time with a worried look.Jia Yu looked at it strangely, and asked her what happened, she hesitated before answering: "Mr. Han just asked me to release some news, and told me not to tell you, but I think it's quite inappropriate."

As soon as Jia Yu heard it, she became anxious: "What news did he send?"

"It's all messy things between me and the investor, and some of them have photos..." Xiao Zhou looked tender, and he was actually almost [-], but he couldn't help but blush when he said this.

Jia Yu understood, and said angrily, "Let him fire if he wants to, let him do as he pleases! Now hide it from me, and I won't deal with him if he gets fired!"

Seeing that she was angry, Xiao Zhou regretted telling her even more.

The news about Han Zuzhe was published early the next morning, and because of its large scale, it immediately attracted everyone's attention.In addition, the photos circulated on the website were quickly deleted, and everyone became more curious, and his name became a popular search term.

Jia Yu let him mess around, he didn't care about his reputation, so why should she worry.

But she didn't expect the fire to burn to her body.Some time ago, the anger of Song Zhuoxi's fans was calmed down, but this time it was stirred up again.Because the fans felt that the reason why Han Zuzhe suddenly exposed this kind of news was that his agent behind him was hyping it up.

Unfortunately, Jiayu became known to everyone because of hyping Song Zhuoxi, which is tantamount to a criminal record.

There was a new criticism on the website, and Jia Yu felt physically and mentally exhausted. Now that Song Zhuoxi is not around, she really can't like this circle.

Han Zuzhe took a moment to invite her to dinner, and pretended to apologize to her: "I'm sorry, Sister Jiayu, I really didn't expect this matter to involve you. I'm really sorry that it's like this. I just read my own news for a long time. , that's why..."

"I can understand," Jia Yu interrupted him, laughing mockingly: "You have such energy, how could you not be popular? Don't worry, I'm still waiting to make money with you, and I won't mind."

Han Zuzhe couldn't figure out whether what she said was true or not, so he forced a smile.

Back at the residence, Jia Yu hesitated for a long time with the mobile phone, wanting to call Song Zhuoxi, afraid that it would be Zhuang Minyi who answered the phone again.Ever since she made the public apology, she has always felt that something is wrong, and subconsciously dare not guess what Song Zhuoxi is thinking now, and every time she really has the courage to make a call, she will feel depressed for a moment.

She couldn't sleep, and worked on the bed with her notebook until midnight, when the door suddenly rang, and Xiao Zhou hurriedly called out: "Jia Yu, come out."

Jia Yu was flustered by her call, and hurried to open the door. Xiao Zhou was still wearing slippers, and he jumped up from the bed when he saw it: "Just now the crew called and asked you to come over. They seem to be in a meeting to discuss It's a matter of changing roles."

"What role?"

"I don't know exactly."

It is already winter, and the temperature difference between day and night in Dali is huge. It is very comfortable during the day, but you can feel the obvious chill at night.Jia Yu was only wearing a thin coat at the moment, and went out without paying attention to anything.

Originally, Han Zuzhe's hype this time was a scandal, and Jia Yu thought that the film crew would reduce his role for the sake of image.Although suspected of being unprofessional, Jia Yu is actually very happy in his heart.

But she was wrong, and only when she arrived at the place did she know that the crew was planning to delete the scenes, and the ones deleted were Song Zhuoxi's scenes.

The production facilities were poor, and everyone sat around in a temporary studio for a meeting, and the incandescent lights dazzled people.

Jia Yu thought he heard it wrong: "I'm sorry to interrupt, because of Song Zhuoxi's injury, many roles in the later scenes have been changed, which is equivalent to deletion. The previous plots are very complete, why suddenly delete his roles? "

The producer shrugged his shoulders: "Because the script was badly criticized by several big names in the industry, Song Zhuoxi was originally the leading actor, but he stopped acting, and the roles of the people who came in later were almost equal to him, it looked like there were two actors. Like the male number one, it’s hard to make a good plot like this. Our goal is not only the box office, word of mouth is also very important, and we even want to hit the awards.”

"But if I remember correctly, you guys are in a hurry, don't you have to delay to deal with the scene?"

"That's not the case. Now, in order to take care of both, we can only reluctantly shorten the duration."

Jia Yu pursed her lips and endured without attacking.

The director sat and smoked a cigarette for a long time, and then he glanced at her: "Miss Du, I must invite you over, sorry, this drama is full of disasters, and it's not a bad show at this point. What we want to see."

Jia Yu smiled dryly: "If Song Zhuoxi plays the role in the next play, I think this regret should be resolved."

The director took a puff of cigarette and looked at her again: "I'm afraid I can't make the decision anymore, the next film may have to be directed by another person."

Jia Yu was stunned for a moment: "Who should I replace?"

"Not sure yet."

Jia Yu understood, Song Zhuoxi was in a bad situation, everything came together, as if forcing him to leave the circle.

Even if Song Zhuoxi didn't see the report, he was notified that the deletion of the scene was a big news. The crew promised him that it was for the quality of the work and had nothing to do with him personally. They also expressed condolences for his injury and guaranteed that the previously negotiated remuneration would not be changed.

Yue Meiyun sat beside him peeling an apple, and said nonchalantly: "I went to someone to tell your fortune a while ago, and guess what he said, he said that you have to change your career, and you will work in your first career for seven or eight years at most. Pretty accurate."

Song Zhuoxi was practicing writing with the pen in his left hand, and he glanced at her: "Mom, if you want to help Dad persuade me, just say it directly, there's no need to beat around the bush like this."

Yue Meiyun fell silent.

Song Zhuoxi glanced at her again, Yue Meiyun has always paid attention to maintenance, her face is still fair and tender in her 50s, but even so, she is still much older than two years ago.

He suddenly felt that he was very selfish. The things he had been fighting for for so many years were actually easily burned, and he just disdained to have what was prepared for him at home. Although dreams are very important, in reality this aging couple is raising them. His grown up parents.

"After a while, when I recover a bit, I'll go to the company to get acquainted, and see if I can do it."

Yue Meiyun was so surprised that she almost cut her own hand: "Are you serious?"

"Ah."

"Then... that Durga language, what do you say?"

Song Zhuoxi didn't make a sound, and after a while, he seemed to come to his senses suddenly, and asked back, "What do you say?"

Yue Meiyun shook her head: "Forget it, pretend I didn't ask."

It wasn't until December that Jiayu finally took over Han Zuzhe's work, and even his assistant Xiao Zhou was drawn to her side.It just so happened that Han Zuzhe's work came to an end, and she planned to take the opportunity to visit Song Zhuoxi.

I haven't seen him for several months, and I actually feel a sense of homelessness.She didn't tell Han Zuzhe her itinerary, she only said that she would return to Beijing in a few days.

Unexpectedly, Han Zuzhe agreed to her without asking anything, and enthusiastically asked Xiao Zhou to buy her a plane ticket, and told her to rest for a few more days before coming back. The scene here is over, so there is no need to follow him all the time.

Jia Yu felt that his reaction was very strange, but she really missed Song Zhuoxi, so she packed her luggage and prepared to leave without thinking too much.

The air ticket Xiao Zhou bought was for Beijing. She was afraid of the heat and Han Zuzhe was suspicious, so she didn't change the ticket. She flew back to Beijing and then went back to Nanjing.

It was only when I took the high-speed train going south that I had time to feel the cold of winter. Looking at the rapidly receding scenery outside the window, Jiayu was a little absent-minded, but finally couldn't hold back, took out her phone and sent Song Zhuoxi a text message.

The signal is not very good, and it took several attempts to send successfully.About half an hour later, the SMS alert sounded.She quickly picked up the phone, but it was not Song Zhuoxi's reply, but Xiao Zhou's.

"The list of new directors and actors has been finalized, including Han Zuzhe."

After discussing the deletion of scenes, basically the movie is coming to an end.Before Jia Yu left, he told Xiao Zhou to pay attention to the casting of the Three Kingdoms movie, but he didn't expect the results to come out so soon.

No wonder Han Zuzhe sent her away so actively, because he was afraid that she would be a hindrance and ruin his good deeds.

Jia Yu called immediately, wanting to ask about Xiao Zhou's specific situation, but Xiao Zhou cut off the call, and after a while he texted back saying that Han Zuzhe was here, so it was inconvenient to talk on the phone.

She had no choice but to edit the text message again and directly asked if Song Zhuoxi was there.

The process of waiting for a reply felt extremely long, but it was only a few minutes before Xiao Zhou's reply was received.

"No."

Jia Yu angrily took a picture of her phone on the small table, causing the people next to her to look at her in surprise.

She once used the unspoken rules of this circle to hype it up, only now did she realize that what really works in this circle is still the unspoken rules.No matter how hard she tried, Han Zuzhe was in vain to influence the investor's decision.The only thing to be thankful for is that she has been pressing Juxing's side, preventing him from taking away Song Zhuoxi's role and then taking away the position of the first brother in his company.

Before she came back, Jia Yu had already called home, and her father had already made an appointment to pick her up at the station.Jia Yu originally thought of meeting Song Zhuoxi before going back, but now he had to go home first.

On the way, his father asked her, "Last time you said you were an agent, which star did you work for? Do I know you?"

"Song Zhuoxi, you should have watched his TV dramas before, but they were all supporting roles. He has been making movies in recent years."

"It's also Song, what a coincidence. By the way, when will Xiao Song come to see us?"

Jia Yu laughed dryly: "I'll ask him later."

Although Song Zhuoxi has not been in contact with Jiayu during this period, she has not given up and has been working hard on rehabilitation.At present, the pain in the right arm is no longer there. Except for the inability to bear weight and make large movements, I can basically live a normal life.

But this was just before receiving the news that the role was taken away, Han Zuzhe repeatedly nibbled at his role, clearly aimed at him.In the past, he might still have the drive to fight with him, but now that he has experienced life and death, he no longer has that kind of thought.

Zhuang Minyi showed him the report and asked, "How is it? Are you still used to it?"

"It's almost time to get used to it." Song Zhuoxi smiled at her: "Suddenly I feel that it is easy to change the way of life."

It's really easy. When he first came to the company, everyone looked at him like an alien—it was a surprise that a big star came to inherit the family business.

But gradually the enthusiasm subsided, and he was no different from others, going in and out of the company from [-] to [-], living a regular life, away from the spotlight and the ups and downs.

Zhuang Minyi deliberately joked: "I can understand that you mean to quit the entertainment industry?"

Song Zhuoxi didn't take his eyes off the report, nodded and said, "Then just quit."

Zhuang Minyi was stunned.

Upon receiving this news, Song Qiyun was the happiest one, and even personally sent an email to Juxing Company, asking them to arrange to terminate the contract with Song Zhuoxi.

In fact, Song Zhuoxi's contract itself is about to expire, and Juxing's praise of Han Zuzhe at this time actually means suppressing him, fearing that he will take Joe when he talks about the contract again.But they never expected that Song Zhuoxi would propose to terminate the contract.

Wu Cuishan hurriedly called Jiayu: "Is he angry because of the character? You explain to him that this has nothing to do with the company's decision, so he must not be impulsive."

Jiayu almost didn't finish listening, so he hung up the phone and went out to see Song Zhuoxi.

I called him on the way, but the line was always busy.She knew the address of the Song family, so she couldn't care less, so she called her immediately.

Song Zhuoxi was at the company, so of course he couldn't see him.Yue Meiyun was at home, and she was surprised to see her through the courtyard gate. Maybe it was because she had watched too many dramas, but the first thing she asked when she walked over was: "What do you want?"

Jia Yu took a look at what she was wearing, white shirt and black straight skirt, at least it was decent, not like asking for something at the door. "Sorry Auntie, I want to see Zhuo Xi."

Yue Meiyun said directly: "He has taken over the company a long time ago, and he has no time to see you. And what did you do to him at that time? You expected him to see you, who is he, who comes and goes when you call him?"

Jia Yu was a little surprised: "He has taken over the company a long time ago? Isn't it a recent thing?"

"Of course, he has already made up his mind to leave the entertainment industry, so you don't need to look for him in the future."

"..." Jia Yu stood still.

Yue Meiyun's tone softened at this time: "Xiao Du, I have heard about the matter between you and Zhuo Xi, Zhuo Xi's father and I are not rigid people, nor do we dislike your poor conditions, it is really... …Let me put it this way, think about it in another way, if you have a son who wants to get married right after graduating from college, and you haven’t even seen him before, but you eat him to death, what do you think? What would you think? Don't you think this girl is not innocent? You should be more on guard, right? Later you did leave him when he was in trouble, and anyone would think that you came here for his fame and fortune. As for this time I I don't even want to talk about it, he is still lying on the hospital bed, you just turned around and left, leaving only one sentence to be a manager for someone else, what does that mean?"

Jia Yu's voice was dry: "I'm sorry, Auntie, this is not what I left..."

"Okay, don't say anything, anyway, we don't bother to pursue it now, so we can learn Zhuo Xi's injury as a lesson, can you stop harassing him?"

Jia Yu looked down at the toe of the shoe, a little hesitant.

Yue Meiyun sighed: "Okay, tell me, how much do you want?"

Jia Yu looked at her in surprise, and finally didn't stay any longer, turned around and left.

Of course, Yue Meiyun would not tell Song Zhuoxi about this. She told Song Qiyun and Zhuang Minyi, but she didn't tell him.

Zhuang Minyi called Jiayu that night, but Jiayu saw that it was her and didn't answer it at all.

Coincidentally, Song Zhuoxi's cell phone ran out of battery, and he came to borrow Zhuang Minyi's cell phone. Seeing her cell phone thrown on the sofa, he wanted to use it before telling her, but when he opened it, he saw Jia Yu's number in the dialing record.

He suddenly gave up his plan to make a work call first and dialed that number.

Jia Yu picked it up this time, and said, "What else do you want to say? Now that Zhuo Xi is going to quit the entertainment industry, are you satisfied?"

Song Zhuoxi laughed, "So you know."

The other end of the phone was quiet for a long time before Jia Yu's voice came out: "Zhuo Xi? Why do you know how to use Min Yi's cell phone? I called you before, but the line has been busy. Are you busy?"

"So you have so many questions to ask, why did you call now?"

"I……"

"Oh, that's wrong, I was the one who made the call."

Jia Yu said calmly: "It's Zhuang Minyi's fault, do you really think I want to work for Han Zuzhe?"

Song Zhuoxi took the phone with another hand: "It's okay, I'm planning to quit anyway."

"are you serious?"

"Ah."

Jiayu was silent for a while, and unexpectedly calmed down: "This is your career, and you should make your own choice. I just want to ask you, are you really planning to do this? There is absolutely no room for change?"

"I'm serious. It just so happens that you can work more rationally in the future without getting involved in other personal relationships."

Jia Yu said with a choked voice, "Okay, then let's do this, and I will handle everything for you as your manager."

Song Zhuoxi didn't say anything, saying "thank you" was too natural, and he didn't know what to say when he said something else.

Jia Yu hung up the phone by herself.

Zhuang Minyi came out of the room, saw him sitting on the sofa holding his mobile phone, and asked suspiciously: "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing, I just borrowed your mobile phone to make a phone call with Jia Yu."

Zhuang Minyi smiled awkwardly: "Oh, what did you say?"

"Talked about some daily life, and about quitting the circle. Oh yes, lend me another work call." He got up and went out to make a call.

Jiayu sent a detailed email to Wu Cuishan, confirming that Song Zhuoxi would not renew her contract.

Wu Cuishan waited for a long time for this result. She was very disappointed and called Song Zhuoxi herself. After lobbying for a long time, she still got the same answer. Then she gave up completely and discussed with Jiayu about the specific announcement date and arrangement.

Jiayu arranged everything calmly and meticulously, and sent it to Wu Cuishan. As for whether compensation should be paid for the termination of the contract now, I have to look at the terms of the contract carefully.

Wu Cuishan replied to the email, "How come there is a resignation letter? No need, Song Zhuoxi is a celebrity who terminated his contract, not a company employee who resigned."

Jiayu replied: "That resignation letter is mine."
