Just hours earlier, Jeremy Tsui, also known as Xu Zhengxi in Chinese, caused a stir on social media. In addition to a black-and-white drawing of the late Kobe Bryant that suggested a sense of closure or farewell, he also shared a mysterious message.
Xu Zhengxi stated, “I bid farewell to my post as an actor,” in the post. I appreciate your continuous support 🙇🏻♂️ I apologize for bothering you 🙏. I appreciate everything. I cherish you. Speculation was instantly sparked by the surprising news. Additionally, it sent the hashtag #徐正溪退圈#—which was about Xu Zhengxi quitting showbiz—to the top of Weibo’s trending searches.
The 38-year-old actor sent out a farewell message that left fans and internet users puzzled as to what it really meant. Xu Zhengxi responded to the inquiries that flooded his comments section by promising to finish the jobs that were currently on his plate. The actor is rather busy at the moment the announcement is made. In Yongan Dream, he played the male lead opposite Ouyang Nana, and he is actively promoting the film. He recently appeared in a supporting part in Burning Flames, which is another new drama.Social media rumors indicate that Xu Zhengxi’s decision might have anything to do with conflicts he had with his management company. Tensions between the actor and his management business are reportedly growing as their contract is about to expire, according to a friend of Xu Zhengxi’s, as reported by the Chinese website Sohu. The two sides are said to have argued over screenplay choices, and more recently, the management company allegedly wanted Xu Zhengxi to violate his morals by taking on several projects at once, which intensified the argument.
