Didn't you say that we would lose money after filming?

"?????"

"No, I just woke up from a nap. What's going on? What did this bring me to? Is this still China?"

"What happened? Xia Yuan retired from the entertainment industry? Did something happen? Or is there something going on?"

"What's going on? Why are they doing this out of the blue? Did something really happen? I personally guess that it has something to do with the Oscars a while ago? After all, if someone didn't win an award, it would be hard for anyone to feel good, right? Especially someone like Xia Yuan. Everyone thought he had already won the award, but he ended up getting some unknown prize. If it were me, I would be upset too."

"No. Look carefully, I've made it very clear. I'm just tired. And now that the child is born, I might as well take advantage of these two years to accompany the child during his most important growth time, and do something I've always wanted to do but never had the chance to do. Do you really have to let your imagination run wild?"

"You believe it when I tell you? Do you want to see how much Xia Yuan is worth and how famous he is now? Do you want to calculate how much money he can make from a movie? Who would complain about having a lot of money? If it were me, if I were in this situation now, I would want to be filming 24 hours a day to make more money. How could I rest? There must be a reason for him to retire at this time! He won't tell us, so don't blame us for making wild guesses."

"Is it possible that Oscar has affected his mentality? I think it is very likely."

"Fuck it, Xia Yuan, don't let it affect you. To be honest, you don't need this Oscar. Otherwise, you see, you didn't win the award, but you got scolded for it! Only a small number of people in China are scolding you. Otherwise, if you win it worldwide, who will recognize this award?"

“Is there a problem in the couple’s relationship?”

"Or is there something else going on with Xia Yuan? Is there anyone who knows and can tell me about it?"

The sky is falling! The sky is really falling!

Xia Yuan has always been a very popular and talked-about person, and he is the most famous director in China today, no doubt about it.

Especially in the current situation, the Oscars have just passed, and "Transformers" is still in theaters. The box office has reached an extremely terrifying state. It is a hot spot wherever it goes and is extremely popular.

Under such circumstances, any news related to Xia Yuan would be a real hot topic, let alone this kind of news.

This was when it was at its peak, and Xia Yuan had only been participating in the Oscars a few years before he opened up the market and established his own reputation.

Just like that, out of nowhere, he suddenly announced that he was retiring from the entertainment industry? ?
This naturally left everyone confused.

What netizens are best at is naturally making all kinds of speculations, and nothing can stop their little heads from thinking about all kinds of wild ideas.

So, while there was shock on the Internet, there were also many speculations about why Xia Yuan retired from the film industry. Even many so-called insiders came forward to "leak the news", and all kinds of theories were flying around for a while.

This is especially true for Weibo and Xiaohongshu. "I'm Xia Yuan's classmate, and I know a little bit about the inside story. The rest is all just for PR. The actual situation is that there are problems between the couple, Xia Yuan has been domestic violence, and Tang Ying called the police some time ago. Now they are being questioned by the relevant departments and are going to be banned. Now they want to cover it up first, deal with this matter, and then deal with the shares. In fact, there have been phenomena for a long time, and now it's just exposed."

"It was right for the Oscars not to give Xia Yuan an award. The whole world should see his true face."

"I'm an insider. Xia Yuan was caught taking drugs. We're investigating now. I think he'll be in jail soon. He deserves it. People who use other people's suffering as a joke should be banned! It would be best if they were sentenced to death!"

"I'm really impressed by you. You can hold a grudge against someone for not giving a dowry when they get married, and you can complain about it for the rest of your life. If you say that without any evidence, it's slander and blackmail. Do you understand? If the data reaches a certain level, you will be put in jail."

"There's nothing we can do. Xia Yuan has already touched upon relevant interests. Cancel the betrothal gift? This is terrible. If they really cancel it, how can they sell themselves for a good price?"

"Ah, it's a short essay, now I have to believe it!"

"The biggest possibility for Xia Yuan's retirement is that he was affected by the Oscars' results, causing his mentality to be a little unbalanced. Damn it, go and curse the Oscar officials! If Xia Yuan really retires, what else can we watch? Xia Yuan has spoiled my appetite. With the current domestic film industry, how can I watch this stuff? How can I live without Xia Yuan's movies!"

"It's all Oscar's fault. I'm going to go and scold him right now."

"The absence of Xia Yuan in the film industry is not Xia Yuan's loss, but the film industry's loss!"

"You're right. Xia Yuan has really spoiled my taste. Now I really can't stand watching other people's movies, even those from Hollywood. After all, Hollywood is too strictly controlled now. There are all kinds of political correctness that can't be avoided. Those people have made Hollywood half-crippled. There's nothing to watch at all."

For a while, the Internet was in chaos, and of course, more anger was focused on Oscar.

America, the Oscar organizing committee originally thought that they had made an extremely correct decision, one that was extremely wise.

After all, given the current international situation, they and Hanxia can be said to be incompatible. In addition, due to their different ideologies, they are very afraid that some ideology will spread to America and regard it as a scourge. Naturally, everything related to Hanxia must be suppressed by them, without exception!
If at this critical juncture, their most proud field was crushed to the ground by a Hanxia person, and the award that they had always considered to be in their pockets was taken away, wouldn't they be like a joke?
Therefore, Han Xia must not be allowed to take away the final Oscar award. This is necessary and absolute. From the very beginning, they had no intention of letting Xia Yuan win this award.

But it is not a good idea to blatantly discredit the award like this, as this would be undermining the credibility and value of their award. So they desperately need a more compromising solution, where they cannot give the award to "Motorcycle Man" or to some other movies.

There is no way. After all, the content types are similar. These movies are interconnected with "Transformers" to a certain extent, and their performance is crushed by "Transformers". The contrast is too strong. If these movies really win awards, the negative comments will be too obvious.

So they need a convincing enough example. (End of this chapter)
