After a whole day of work, Xiao Zhao can finally sit down, take a breath, and browse his phone for a while.

She opened the familiar pinned fan group, and as expected, she was greeted by 999+ unread group messages.

Since the opening of the Venice Film Festival, the group has become much more active. If I don't log in for a few hours, the group chat history will turn over many pages.

What's more, today is the last day of the Venice Film Festival.

According to official media reports, the crew of "The First Incense" is also confirmed to appear on the closing ceremony red carpet.

Of course, in addition to official news, there have been many messy rumors circulating on the Internet during this period.

The chairman of this year's Venice Jury and director Xu An are old friends for decades, so he has a good chance of winning the Best Director Award this time.

Several film festival publications praised the performance of the leading actress in "The First Incense", but some famous European film critics also publicly said that they did not like the performance.

The crew had already booked the return flight, but they received a call at the last minute and had to change their flight to attend the awards ceremony.

The truth and falsehood make fans happy and sad at times, and their moods fluctuate greatly every day, as if they are suspended in mid-air.

Therefore, Xie Zhuxin's core fan group started to flood the screen with posts since early morning today, and many fans who had been lurking for thousands of years came out one after another, wanting to witness the results with their own eyes.

At such an important moment, Xiao Zhao, as a fan for many years, also wants to stay in the group and learn about his idol's movements as soon as possible.

It's a pity that she recently changed jobs to a new store and it was the busiest sales season. She didn't even have time to drink water all day, let alone check her fan group.

Fortunately, due to the time difference in Venice, the closing ceremony of the film festival will not start until 11: pm Beijing time.

After finishing the night shift, I still have some time, so I can join the group to catch up on my lessons.

Xiao Zhao glanced at the time, quickly reached out and clicked on the unread group messages, reading them one by one, and found that the group had started a "gambling game" early in the morning -

Everyone was excitedly guessing what Xie Zhuxin's red carpet look would be for tonight's closing ceremony.

"I wonder what the red carpet looks will be like tonight? That aqua blue tulle dress at the opening ceremony was absolutely stunning, she was like the real Ice Princess! I wonder if the closing ceremony will continue with the dreamy princess look?"

"That purple Chinese-style outfit she wore at the film festival premiere of 'The First Incense' was absolutely stunning, wasn't it? Not only was it beautiful and classical, but the style also echoed her character, Ge Weilong, in the film, perfectly hitting the mark – that's what you call a professional look!"

"I still prefer the French street style collection from the street shots taken the other day. It's simple yet elegant, and has that cool vibe. Not many female celebrities can pull it off (starry eyes). I didn't expect that besides T-shirts, she could pull off V-shirts, which are generally considered the most difficult to wear, to this level..."

"You're definitely losing. How could a street style be worn for the closing ceremony? I think it's rare that Xinxin is in such good shape this time, why not just wear something sexy? Back then, I was hooked by that amazing photo of her in a deep V dress..."

"Hey, hey, hey, please wipe the saliva off your face, the group is flooded, we are all going to be drowned by you, okay (laughing and crying)"

"Hahahahaha..."

After a burst of hilarious emojis flooded the screen, some people couldn't help but sigh.

"I couldn't see her for most of last year, and could only rely on the studio to occasionally release a set of photos to satisfy my craving for her. It was so hard! Now I've finally made it (crying)(crying)(crying)"

"Yeah, now I can actually see news about Xinxin every day. Seeing her in person, interviews, red carpets, street shots, Reuters, it's like Chinese New Year! It's been so long since I've had such a good time, I'm feeling a little uncomfortable~"

"After months of railing against the studio, I finally get to praise them. For this Venice Film Festival appearance, the studio finally found a professional styling team that's just right for Xinxin, and so far, they haven't failed to deliver."

As soon as these words were spoken, many fans couldn't help but recall unpleasant memories.

Ever since Xie Zhuxin won the Golden Phoenix Award for Best Actress last year, she has been in the limelight for a while, and her fans are also proud of it. She is even invincible in verbal battles with fans of rival groups.

But within a few months, they felt something was wrong.

Although she has two Best Actress titles, various high-end business opportunities are pouring in, and her treatment in the fashion circle has also increased, she has appeared on the covers of several of the top five domestic magazines in one go.

However, the expected situation where high-quality film and television resources would pour in and idols would continue to officially announce their participation in new works has not yet appeared.

On the contrary, after the short period of exposure after the Golden Phoenix Award, Xie Zhuxin gradually fell into silence and did not make a public appearance for more than half a year.

No matter how the fans denounced and questioned the studio on Weibo, there was never a single positive explanation.

That period was indeed a dark moment for long-time fans who were used to Xie Zhuxin either working in a continuous group or working frequently.

"Don't mention the studio, it makes me angry! Xinxin is not only the first young actress of this generation to win Best Actress, she even broke the record for the youngest actress in the Chinese entertainment industry to win two Best Actress awards! And what happened? After winning, not only did she not make many appearances to dazzle the haters, but she was actually put on ice? Isn't that funny?"

"I've been pissed off for a long time! I'm fine with not accepting variety shows and events, but it's been over half a year since she won Best Actress, and she still hasn't joined any productions, and hasn't even officially announced a new project? Come on! Two Best Actresses! Unemployed right after winning an award?"

"So the studio deserves the criticism! It's a small, unprofessional operation, relying entirely on the boss's hard work to keep it going. They pushed out the capable Tina, and then as soon as the boss won the award, they just laid low and messed things up, without a single explanation to the fans. They played dead for half a year. What a bunch of idiots..."

"Do you know? A friend in the industry told me that the studio has been recruiting for the past few months and is likely to sign new people!"

"Oh my god! That's right! No wonder the studio is so indifferent to Xinxin now! They feel they can't control her and want to use her popularity to sign new people and make money~"

"But isn't that agency director Wu Yinan Xinxin's childhood friend? They grew up together, even quit their previous agency for Xinxin and have been with her for so many years. How could he treat her like this?"

"(rolling eyes) So many years have passed, and in such a filthy entertainment industry, who knows what people's hearts will become..."

"Perhaps, that 'female celebrity' we're obsessed with has already changed a long time ago and doesn't care about her fans anymore..."

The atmosphere in the chat history became increasingly biased.

Many people began to complain and vent their unhappiness over the past six months.

Xiao Zhao, who was watching from outside the phone screen, bit his lips tightly, wishing he could turn the clock back a few hours and rush into the group to make a passionate speech.

Finally, she saw a familiar name in the group chat history that was almost empty.

Xiao Mengxin: "The closing ceremony red carpet has already begun, and Xinxin will be out anytime soon. Please stop discussing irrelevant topics and prepare to support us on various platforms so that everyone can see our momentum!"

"it is good!"

"receive!!!"

"GOGOGO!!!!!"

The increasingly negative atmosphere in the group chat was finally broken.

Everyone started posting emojis, patting their chests, and began to respond to the call of the big fan.

The fan base suddenly became enthusiastic and motivated again.

Xiao Zhao couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief. He quickened his pace, scrolling through the group chat history and quickly making up for the lessons he had missed today.

I just returned to the chat interface of the fan group and was about to say something in the group to tell my old friends that I was here, when suddenly my pupils shrank.

The screen was rapidly scrolling with the same message sent by many people almost at the same time -

"Xinxin is out!"
