Recently, idol-turned-actor Lai Guanlin officially announced his retirement from the industry, saying that he was about to "change the track", which triggered strong discussions from the outside world, especially fans who scolded him for "doing one thing and hating the other"!
But in fact, this is not the first well-known actor to withdraw from the industry this year. As early as mid-March, 39-year-old actor Xu Zhengxi also officially announced his "farewell to his position as an actor."
At a time when everyone is envious of celebrities who earn a daily salary of 2.08 million, a famous artist has officially announced his withdrawal?
This has greatly surprised the outside world, but in fact the reasons behind the deep dive are not unreasonable, but who is really sober and who is forced to do nothing?
1. Lai Guanlin hates every job he does?
Lai Guanlin, who just turned 23 this year, has been in the industry for 7 years. Compared with other artists who have a difficult time entering the industry, his career has been particularly smooth.
In 2001, he was born into a wealthy family in Taipei. His father, Lai Deqian, has been doing business. He also has a sister who also married into a wealthy family a few years ago.
Lai Guanlin has been smart and versatile since he was a child. In 2016, he participated in the selection of South Korea's cube entertainment company and became a trainee.
Although his parents objected to his entry into the industry, in the end he couldn't resist and he made his debut.
He joined the music program "m! countdown" in 2017 for his first public appearance, and later successfully became a member of the group wanna one.
In fact, when it comes to singing and dancing, Lai Guanlin seems to be not very good at it, but he was sought after by fans because of his cute appearance, and finally got out of the industry with everyone's votes.
After that, he lived a busy life flying around, making money and being respected by others.
However, in fact, he did not like this career. He once mentioned in a future interview that his parents had a bad relationship since he was a child, so he grew up dependent on his mother.
Lai Guanlin said that his debut was entirely to share the financial pressure of his family, and he also admitted that "I never found a true sense of self-identity when I was pursuing an acting career."
He said that he always felt that he was "mechanically performing daily tasks at work. Everyone's activities were clearly arranged, and he was just like a commodity."
After the group disbanded in 2019, Lai Guanlin chose to return to China and returned to China. In order to develop in a more diversified way, he later transformed into an actor, and his first partner was Zhao Jinmai, the "00 top artist".
Then he also took his work to "Quick Book" and was personally promoted by He Jiong.
Although the current program featured popular niche actors such as Tan Jianci and Xu Kai, the promotion banner was "Lai Guanlin's first variety show".
It shows that he has good resources, but he doesn’t seem to care.
The year after returning to China, Lai Guanlin was photographed by paparazzi spitting and smoking on the street, which immediately became a hot search topic.
After he apologized, fans revealed that he was involved in another scandal. The woman was Zhang Caicai, a graduate of the theater industry who was 10 years older than him. After the
incident unfolded, Lai Guanlin himself responded that he was taking an unusual path.
He directly told fans in a handwritten letter: "I will inform fans of any good news as soon as possible", which made fans break their guard.
In 2021, he also made pink bubbles due to the recording of "Fifty Miles of Taohuawu" and the popular Little Flower Weekly. While
fans desperately denied it, the paparazzi directly photographed the woman entering and leaving his apartment. Soon after, the two appeared in the hotel and spent a night together.
However, this relationship seemed to come and go quickly. Neither party responded, so it ended.
Then Lai Guanlin's resources are still online, because he and ab collaborated with "The Way Love Should Look Like" which reflected the love of the year. Although the show did not become a hit, it made him famous.
However, when it comes to acting skills, he is indeed not good enough yet. He did not think about practicing hard and waiting for an explosion. Instead, he turned around and became a director...
It doesn't matter, after all, slash youth are popular nowadays. Everyone shows off his or her own talents.
What no one expected was that he suddenly officially announced his withdrawal from the industry.
Perhaps the reason is that he was once again photographed in a scandal some time ago. He was intimately in the same frame with a girl from outside the circle. At first glance, they were in a relationship. At the time, some fans of
also accused him of being "irresponsible and not improving his business, but he was always in love."
In fact, Lai Guanlin once said in an interview that he wanted to get married when he was 13 years old and wanted to be a good father when he was 30 years old.
Therefore, it is not particularly sudden that he officially announced his withdrawal from the circle, but fans can understand it because he suddenly broke their guard - after all, the previous seven years had actually existed.
So everyone shouted: "You are doing one thing and hating the other, and you are doing everything to break the defense!"
2. Xu Zhengxi is dissatisfied that the company has withdrawn from the industry?
In addition to Lai Guanlin, 39-year-old Xu Zhengxi also officially announced his retirement from the industry, but behind the scenes he did not have the willfulness and freedom of the former, but was full of helplessness.
According to rumors, Xu Zhengxi’s family is also very well off. His parents are engaged in the real estate business, and his aunt is Xu Feng, chairman of Tomson Group.
But in fact, in 2022, his official fan group came forward to clarify that he has nothing to do with "Tomson Yipin". Instead, he entered the industry to improve his family situation.
encountered a scam and was "sold" by the brokerage company. The new company put forward harsh conditions, otherwise he would have to bear liquidated damages.
However, because he did not officially sign a contract with a Hong Kong company, he was unable to appear on promotional posters or attend events.
All this made his development not smooth, and his income was meager, and he lived a very hard life.
It wasn’t until 2008 that Xu Zhengxi met a new agent who was willing to sign him while filming an advertisement, so he persuaded the other person to terminate the contract with his previous company by paying an advance fee.
But despite this, his acting career was still not smooth. He encountered accidents such as being "robbed" of roles one after another, which led to a mental breakdown.
Finally in 2011, Xu Zhengxi made her mark because of her role as Yan Liheng in "The Xia Family's Three Daughters" and became famous among domestic entertainment audiences.
Then he entered a stage of steady development and starred in works such as "Love Wakes Up" and "Flying Knife Again". The roles he played were basically the image of a handsome nobleman, which was very suitable for his superior appearance.
However, Xu Zhengxi’s real popularity has to start with 2018’s “Dugu Tianxia”.
He won the Tencent Breakthrough Actor of the Year Award for his role as "Yu Wenhu", and his career reached its first peak.
Even last year, he participated in the costume dramas "Chong Zi" and "Yong'an Dream" one after another. He is everyone's favorite "beautiful man in costume".
But what no one expected was that in March this year, Xu Zhengxi, whose career was on a steady rise, suddenly said that he had planned to bid farewell to his career as an actor.
When it was officially announced that he was withdrawing from the entertainment industry, his participation in the costume drama "Water Dragon Song" had not yet been completed.
The outside world was surprised by the news that Xu Zhengxi was suddenly leaving the industry, and there were also many revelations.
Some people said that the conflict with the agency escalated, and they did not want to be forced to participate in the drama, but they were unable to terminate the contract, which led to an emotional breakdown, so they directly issued a message to withdraw.
On June 12 this year, Xu Zhengxi’s studio released another set of final photos of him, but it was discovered that the photos seemed to have been deliberately made ugly, causing dissatisfaction among fans.
Although the studio apologized and he himself left a message below saying that he would log out of the studio, the message was deleted directly by the studio, causing netizens to ridicule:
"This is the first time I have seen a studio dare to delete the boss's own comments. It's really Awesome.”
Some people also reported that Xu Zhengxi may transition into a director or producer after quitting the industry, but the specific situation remains to be seen.
3. Ma Tianyu is ready to retire with wealth and freedom?
In addition to the above two celebrities who have publicly said that they want to quit the industry, Ma Tianyu, a former talent show singer, also revealed on the show that he has the idea of retiring from the industry. Although
was immediately denied by his brokerage company, judging from his personal experience, this may be his true thought.
Ma Tianyu was born in 1986 in a poor family in Dezhou, Shandong. His mother was in poor health and his father was addicted to gambling and irresponsible.
In 1991, because her mother could not bear the blows of all kinds of life, she committed suicide by taking pills in front of her 5-year-old son. What was even more outrageous was that she asked Ma Tianyu to buy the sleeping pills.
This incident has caused him to bear the guilt of "killing his mother" for many years. He even recalled on the show:
"If I didn't want to eat that piece of chocolate so much, maybe I would be a child with a mother."
But it was a tragic thing Still happening.
Later, his father sold his younger brother because of debts. Since then, Ma Tianyu has never seen his younger brother again.
After that, he was raised by his elderly grandparents. One can imagine the miserable childhood life.
While studying, Ma Tianyu had to drop out of school because he could not afford the 3 yuan tuition fee, and moved to Beijing to work when he was 15 years old, just to pay off his father's debt.
Because of his handsome appearance, Ma Tianyu accidentally participated in "Come on!" in 2006. Good Man". Although
ended up in the top six, it left a deep impression on the audience and made the brokerage company see its commercial value.
The title song of his first album "Damn Tenderness" became popular. After that, his acting career gradually improved, but at the same time he was also burdened with many negative rumors: low education, being kept...
Grandpa also listened to the outside world According to rumors, he fell ill and sadly passed away.
Various sad experiences made Ma Tianyu appear particularly melancholy and full of story-telling.
Later, he transformed into an actor and participated in works such as "The Strange Hero Iljima" and "The Legend of the Ancient Sword". He also made waves, but he always seemed tepid.
People can see the reason from his various performances in variety shows: it is all due to his personality.
In an interview, Ma Tianyu publicly stated: I have never let go of myself. I don’t really like being on programs or doing interviews. I feel that the stage is not mine.
It is true that apart from acting and recording shows, the audience rarely sees him. Especially since 2020, his presence in the entertainment industry has become less and less.
The following year, when recording "Very Quiet Distance", 35-year-old Ma Tianyu said, "I am ready to retire."
He said that he felt that acting had reached a bottleneck period. Although his output was stable, his acting skills had not made a breakthrough, so he stopped , I didn’t film for about two years.
At that time, Ma Tianyu had finished filming "Dust" with ab, and it was indeed a long time since he joined the group.
After this, his studio immediately denied it, and netizens and fans also shouted: No!
However, it can be felt that Ma Tianyu's output is indeed decreasing. This year, he can only release one film, "The City of Everlasting Joy", and another one, "Singapore of the Golden Moon", which has just been completed, in which he plays a male number five.
Some people analyzed that he may want to withdraw from the circle because he hopes to live a more comfortable life for the rest of his life. After all, he has been hurt too much while growing up.
A brief summary:
Looking at the above three male stars who suddenly want to withdraw from the industry, in fact, although they have their own reasons, they all reach the same goal:
Ma Tianyu, who seems to have always been on the edge of the circle, and Lai Guanlin, who was also hurt by his original family, both It is a young man who has become famous and satisfied with his ambitions, but he is trapped in a circle of fame and fortune, unable to reconcile with his true pursuit.
And Xu Zhengxi is the same. He has a natural star appearance, but his road to fame is extremely bumpy. Even though he has become famous, he still cannot live a free and easy life.
- This may be an important reason why they want to retreat.
But of course they are bound to be trapped in the contract of the agency and the criticism and disappointment of fans, but life is inherently ever-changing.
uses the last sentence of the author of "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" as a summary of this article:
"I want to tell you: the so-called eternal hegemony and eternal fame are nothing compared to one thing. This thing is to use Spend your life the way you like. "
But of course, they may have achieved financial freedom and have such courage. As melon-eating people, they only need to bring reason and understanding, right?
