Marrying his daughter one after another and fading out of the show business circle, Wu Zongxian has made a lot of recent moves.
Since the annual income of the side business is billions of Taiwan dollars, is he determined to quit?
The recent entertainment news is almost dominated by Wu Zongxian, who has to marry 2 daughters in succession. The second daughter married the first love object, the second son-in-law came from a local rich family, and was also exposed to be a master's student graduated from Peking University. Wu Zongxian was very satisfied with the affair, revealing that the engagement ring was worth 60 million Taiwan dollars (about 14 million yuan), and also chartered a room near the church for his daughter and son-in-law.
The marriage of the 31-year-old daughter is not bad, and she is about to marry her boyfriend of 5 years. In 2012, the boyfriend starred in Fan Weiqi's "Heartbeat in the Upper Left Corner" MV, and he is 178cm tall, and his appearance resembles that played by Han Xingyuze. The most important thing is that as a designer, I started an advertising company from scratch, and I am also a proper rich and handsome man.
Compared with the marriage of his two daughters, Wu Zongxian's affairs are more topical, and he once again proposed to gradually fade out of the show business circle. This is the second time he has offered to withdraw in 4 months.
In early June, he announced on the show that he would leave the show business at any time during the year, and for many years entertained everyone in the variety industry, not only without dignity nor protection, but also questioned why he made so much money.
There is also the death of the little devil. Huang Hongsheng was regarded as his successor, but he left everyone forever because of the accident. This incident hit Wu Zongxian hard, because there was no suitable successor, and Wu Zongxian said that he could not determine the time of withdrawal.
When the eldest daughter announced the marriage, he was asked about his plans to move to Shanghai, and personally confirmed that he would fade out of the show business circle: "I have become more and more uncomfortable in the media industry, and I have to face many journalist friends every day. ”
He also mentioned the arrangement after the exit. For some reason, he had to quarantine for 21 days to travel back and forth between the two places, which made him admit that his plan may also be changed, and he is considering it. He made it clear that when the situation improved, he could go back and forth between the two places as a trapeze artist, and said that he might buy a private jet to travel back and forth in the future.
The 3 programs in hand, "Variety Show Big Hit", "Variety Show Play Big" and "Little Star Big Follow class", Wu Zongxian revealed that he will not find someone to substitute for the class, and he will try to arrange and compress the time of the video. He revealed that the future time spent in the two places is likely to be half and a half.
In early September, when it was revealed that he was going to settle in Shanghai, Wu Zongxian angrily denounced the media report as taken out of context, and I clarified that I only wanted to expand the commercial territory and was not ready to leave my hometown. Wu Zongxian also revealed that he hoped to delete a program, spending 10 days a month to record, and in the end he did not give up any program.
As early as June 2020, Wu Zongxian had already retreated. After he and his daughter chatted freely on the way to work, he sent a long article to confide in his heart. After the eldest daughter went to study on the other side of the ocean, he would break down and cry after talking to Sandy. As a father, Wu Zongxian hopes that his daughter is an ordinary girl and hopes that she can be safe and healthy.
When her daughter decided to move into show business, her wife strongly objected, but Sandy eventually persuaded her mother. From the website host to the partner father hosting the show, she has developed smoothly all the way. Nine months after hosting "Little Star Big Follower", Sandy became the youngest winner of the Golden Bell Award for variety show hosts. No wonder Wu Zongxian sighed that "after all, you are the protagonist."
At the end of the article, Wu Zongxian said of himself, "I also want you to know: Dad has exhausted his strength and tried to find a way to leave the show business circle", and at the same time said how difficult it is for him to support his family, "It is not easy to support my family after all, I almost continue to do it in a state of blurred vision with tears." ”
Some people say that Wu Zongxian proposed to fade out of the show business circle because being a host is not enough money. Everyone knows that Wu Zongxian is busy with the side business for no less than the time to be the host, and he himself has revealed that the income of the side business far exceeds the main business. He has been making various investments since more than 20 years ago, and now the annual income of the side business has reached 3 billion Taiwan dollars (about 700 million yuan).
From this point of view, since the side business is more profitable, it is indeed possible for him to abandon the main business and develop the side business. But others say it won't be another farce like 2009. In January 2009, Wu Zongxian revealed in an interview with Chen Luyu that he would fully withdraw from the entertainment industry on June 30.
At the time, he told Mr. Chen that he had made this decision because he was tired of local media visits and fabricating news, and that being an entertainer was not something that people do. Chen Luyu also thought he was joking, and Wu Zongxian said very seriously that he had called all the production units, saying that the contract would not be until June 30, and he had not signed any contract after that, while stressing that he would not look back.
At that time, he said that he would run an LED business after he quit, and he also publicly proposed an initiative, hoping that everyone could save energy and contribute to the earth. In another media interview in March, he reiterated his intention to quit on June 30. He called his exit a "naked retreat" and wanted to promote environmental awareness.
Just when everyone was sorry for the withdrawal of the variety show king, people had already begun to prepare for new jobs. On June 2, Oriental Satellite TV's "Dancing Forest Conference" held a launch conference in Shanghai, announcing that Wu Zongxian was the guest host, co-hosted with Oriental Satellite TV Crown and others, and the program will officially start broadcasting on June 20.
In the face of everyone questioning his withdrawal remarks, Wu Zongxian gave his own explanation - I quit the Taiwan entertainment industry, if I come to the mainland or OK. When he proposed to quit in January, Tianxin, an artist he has worked with many times, quipped: "Of course I know, he said that quitting has been 30 years, haha." Tianxin said he couldn't leave because the Taiwanese variety show host couldn't do without him.
Wu Zongxian did do business after that, but it was not so smooth. In 2012, media reported that Wu Zongxian owed NT$20 million in debt after losing his investment in LEDs, and was also applied for compulsory enforcement by the local court, seizing 3 real estate transactions under his name, leaving only 1.5 million Taiwan dollars (about 320,000 yuan) on his account.
The restaurants, gyms and hot pot restaurants he invested in went out of business, and the technology companies he invested heavily in also failed, and at that time, they were exposed to debt totaling 700 million or 800 million, and he needed to bear more than 600 million yuan. Before seizing the real estate, he himself said that the debt was almost over, and then it was revealed that the mansion was sold, and he could only rent a small house to live in.
Fortunately, the income of hosting programs is very rich, and according to reports, Wu Zongxian earned NT$150 million in 2012 by relying on advertisements and 50 event performances in the mainland. After 2009, he himself became the highest-paid variety show host in Taiwan again. From this aspect, it can also be seen that at that time, for him, doing business was far less secure than being a host.
However, this is not what it used to be, and his investment business is now on the right track, and he is no longer in the embarrassment of the past. He thinks he is a good father, seeing that 4 children have graduated from school, 2 daughters are going to marry, the younger son has become sensible, only the younger daughter has not yet landed. For him, family was no longer a burden, and he had accumulated so much wealth.
Brought to his debut by him, the eldest daughter who won the Golden Bell Award twice has long had the possibility of succeeding him. So far in 2021, Wu Shanru has taken over 15 endorsements, and her income is very rich. Filial piety to her father, after her debut, she will give her father a car every year, and this year has sent 8 units, Wu Zongxian said that it is good to have a daughter, and it is really enviable to have such a capable daughter.
The 59-year-old Wu Zongxian is known as the King of Variety, and Zhang Fei, Hu Gua and Zhang Xiaoyan are collectively known as "Three Kings and One Queen", he has experienced the ups and downs of his career, and perhaps he really wants to quit after looking down. This time, he said that he might sell vacuum cleaners after quitting, revealing that he likes to develop and sell goods.
Huang Hongsheng's sudden death made him determined to think more about himself, do what he liked, and no longer stay in the show business circle. In October, he revealed that he had experienced dizziness and other discomfort due to the flu vaccine, but revealed that he was 28 years old. Wu Zongxian announced that his withdrawal was not in bad health, and there was also news that he was not willing to continue (to be the host) after twice the salary.
What do you think about Wu Zongxian's withdrawal from this matter, do you think he is determined to leave the show business circle this time, welcome to interact with the editor message ~
