The very first thing I saw on Weibo is a post from some sources that there is news that some of the big directors are going to put him on a blacklist and are going to ban him from doing any further projects in the future. Did Xu Yuan's career come to an end because of this incident? This is the headline of the news I am seeing right now. Then I scroll down my Weibo account more to see any further updates on that rumour. Then I saw a video from just a few days ago of him where he was there at the booting ceremony of his new drama where he signed all the autographs for children, and here in the comment section some of his fans wrote that we should bring our kids to get an autograph from him. And this is it, it already shows how kind and polite he is always towards his fans. Didn't they see these videos of him? I asked myself this question again and again.
And then in that video, my Yuan Yuan was always being cute. He even tiptoed a little to reach the other male lead's height who is just slightly taller than him. His cuteness can't be resisted. Didn't those who are accusing him of behaving very rudely with his teammates see all that? They must not have, because if they really did, then they would never ever accuse him of such ridiculous things. Then I saw that in that same event of his drama opening ceremony, where he wore a black T-shirt, blue denim jeans, a black cap, and black sunglasses, where he also put those sunglasses on his nose for a while and then put them up again, and this is his usual style, his usual iconic style where all his fans just melt there.
And then in the opening ceremony of that drama with the star cast, he also said that he is very glad to be a part of this project and said that he is working for the first time with this director and the female lead, and his role is very different, and he will try hard to give his best to his audience and bring them a very fresh story. He also said that he will try to lower the price of the ticket for his fans here, but he did it as much as he could. And after seeing the whole video of this ceremony which just happened a day before, how could anyone even believe that he is not a kind person? Could anyone even question him like this after seeing all this? Are they really blind, blinded by the rumours or haters of Xu Yuan? They can't even see how humble he is. But in this world, people get attracted to negativity more than positivity, and this is not some sort of saying that a well-known philosopher has said, it's a study or an experience that Zhao Shiza got by hitting the lowest point in my whole life.
And then I closed my eyes for a while and promised myself that no matter how hard it is going to be, no matter how bad it will be, I will find a way, I will definitely find a way to make his name clear from this, I definitely will. I said this to myself like an unsung promise from me to him, or maybe it's a promise from me to myself, because Yuan didn't expect anything from me and he didn't want anything from me. The most important thing is that right now I need to gather the clues to find the evidence in his favour.
Then I got out from that cafe and took a bus, and that bus took me to my destination, and when I reached there I saw a board where it was written "The Xu Yuan's Team," and I entered there. Guards stopped me at the entrance itself saying except Mr Xu Yuan and his team members or studio members no one is allowed to enter, so please miss, we can't let you inside, the security guards standing over there said this to me.
But then suddenly someone from his team came up and stood right in front of me and said let her in, I called her, then they let me in there, and when I reached that person I saw that he is one of his teammates.
Miss Zhao, can we talk in private? he asked.
I nodded my head and then he made me walk inside to his cabin where I sat there and he asked me that Miss Zhao, I know you might think of us like we are the ones who accused him, but trust me, we don't know how all this happened, we really don't, he said.
Mr Chong, please tell me what exactly happened and why things got so bad and from where this news spread, I asked.
Miss Zhao, actually the thing that happened on that day was when we were at the shooting location, the female actress of that drama was talking to one of our team members over there, he said.
Male or female? I asked.
Male, he said.
Then you must get me his number, I said.
Sorry miss, we don't have it as he just joined Mr Xu Yuan's team, and then he said he got a better job opportunity somewhere and left from here after working here for a week.
Then how can I? I really need to reach him, otherwise how can I make him suffer like this? I need to get him out of this, otherwise his hard work in this industry for more than a decade will all get wasted at once, as we all know that building a reputation takes years but ruining it just takes a second, and I won't let that second come into his life and take over all his hard work. Do you even have the idea how much things are going to be worse for him? Are you really his team, because you are doing nothing? The new boy who just joined you all, now you all don't have any idea about him, where he has gone? How could you all be so irresponsible? Didn't you all check that boy's background or where he came from? I said all this to Mr Chong very angrily in my raised voice which I haven't let out ever, but today I don't know how it automatically came out from me.
Mr Chong is just looking down at the floor and didn't say anything.
We all know, and in fact more than me you all are experienced in this field, you know very well that Xu Yuan is such a big celebrity and he has many haters too who want to cause him harm, but this tiny mistake of you all made his career at stake. Do you even realise it? I asked Mr Chong.
Then Mr Chong took a glass of water and gave it to me and said Miss Zhao, you should relax first. I know this is a mistake from our side and we will try, we will really try hard to find that boy as soon as possible, but trust me, it's just that he got vanished somewhere so fast.
I don't care if he really got vanished somewhere or not, just bring him out of hell, I said. Then I stood up from there and before leaving, one question stuck in my mind, so I asked Mr Chong what's the name of the actress that new boy was talking to.
Then Mr Chong said…
