In 2006, Xue Zhiqian once said in a show that when he first entered the industry, the proprietress took a fancy to him and asked him to go to her room to make a bed for her. He stubbornly passed, but the proprietress asked him again if he wanted to take a shower, and he directly refused. As a result, he was hidden by the company.
Judging from the appearance, it seems that the hardest thing in the entertainment industry should be a female star, not only will her appearance encounter all kinds of attention and criticism, but also face the unspoken rules of people from all walks of life.
However, male stars are not as easy as they seem. They have also experienced many hardships on this road, especially when they first entered the industry, and had to face unspoken rules from different genders.
Singer Xue Zhiqian has encountered such a dilemma. In 2005, he made his official debut in the talent show, and a newcomer is still very unfamiliar with the entertainment industry.
Soon after, a female landlady told him to go to a hotel room. Xue Zhiqian thought that he was going to discuss work, but after entering, the female boss asked him to help fold the quilt, and let him take a bath after folding.
At this time, Xue Zhiqian finally understood that the proprietress had bad intentions. It couldn't be more obvious that a newly debuted starlet was called to a hotel room for no reason, and then encountered such a request.
He immediately rejected the proprietress and left the room decisively. It's a pity that his act of rebellion also caused him to lose the opportunity to perform in the next play.
Not long after, Xue Zhiqian encountered the same dilemma when auditioning for a new drama. On that occasion, a male producer suggested that he go to the sauna with him to relax.
At first, Xue Zhiqian didn't think much about it, thinking that maybe it was just a normal social activity. The two chatted in the sauna while taking a shower and relaxing.
But gradually, the male boss's words and demeanor began to become more and more ambiguous, and the distance became closer and closer, making Xue Zhiqian feel that something was not quite right.
Soon, he realized that this male boss also had bad intentions for him. Xue Zhiqian immediately rejected the other party's indecent behavior, but this also made him pay a heavy price again.
For the next few years, he was hidden by the company and barely received any performance opportunities.
Encountering the unspoken rules twice, Xue Zhiqian felt that his life had fallen into a trough. A young star who just debuted refused the unspoken rules from different genders, and the result was that his career died abruptly.
This made him fall into depression and confusion for a while. However, he gritted his teeth and persevered, not choosing to take shortcuts. In the long years of depreciation, he worked hard to save money by opening hot pot restaurants, clothing stores and other side businesses, and continued to make music that he was interested in.
In 2016, Xue Zhiqian finally returned to the music scene with his humorous personality and outstanding creative talent, and his popularity rose rapidly.
Especially the success of his masterpieces "Actor" and "Ugly Eight" made him completely get rid of the depressed image of the past. Today's Xue Zhiqian has become a first-line superstar worth more than 100 million.
Looking back on that year, the unspoken rules of the entertainment industry brought him great trouble, and even almost ruined his acting career. But Xue Zhiqian did not choose to compromise and give up, but waited patiently and spoke with strength.
His experience makes people see that the life of a star is also full of unknown bitterness, and it takes perseverance to succeed.
This spirit of insisting on oneself and never giving up also makes Xue Zhiqian shine in adversity, which is worthy of admiration.
