Chapter 402 I Was Banned Too
Enron spent two full days sorting out the information on these people.
This was harder than he imagined.
First of all, after being banned and withdrawn from the circle, many people became disheartened and completely disappeared from the circle.
Even many of my friends in the circle don’t know where these people have gone.
What’s more, the entertainment industry is not very humane. When you are popular, you will naturally become brothers and sisters with you, but when you are not popular, who cares about your current situation?
As a result, the contact information of these people cannot be found.
In fact, even if there is one, it is of little use. If you don’t hang out in the circle, it is very likely that your contact information will be changed.
The people An Ran found were all information found on various self-media.
"Who still knows him? Qi Le, once the monthly champion, is now in such a state of decline!"
"There were once thousands of fans, but now no one knows them in the busy city"
"Do you still know him? The King of Iron Lung Singer back then"
Titles like this are everywhere on the Internet, and the information is basically correct. Although the words are exaggerated, the basic information is true.
Especially Qi Le, this guy actually went to sell pork.
Gee, this is how miserable you have been to get to this point. After all, you were a top second-tier player back then, so you shouldn’t have been so miserable.
On this day, An Ran took Tang Ni to fly to Xicheng, Shaanzhou, and chartered a taxi. They drove for more than an hour to Yangcheng, not far from Xicheng.
It is already January. As one of the oldest cities in Xiazhou, it still retains the traditional and original flavor of the New Year.
There are less than two months until the Chinese New Year!
When thinking of this, An Ran suddenly felt that time passed so quickly.
The Yangcheng Central Farmer's Market is crowded with people, and the smell of various ingredients is everywhere, which is mixed together, giving people a very bad feeling.
An Ran and Tang Ni went straight to the meat stall.
In the corner of the vegetable market, four pork stalls are displayed in a row.
At a glance, he saw the expressionless Qi Le, holding a cigarette in his mouth and chopping half a fan of ribs into small pieces.
The rhythmic sound of the bone chopping knife falling on the chopping board forms a strange rhythm.
Are you too sensitive?
Why do I always feel like there is a sense of rhythm here?
Is it because of my own overthinking or because of Qi Le’s instinct...
It was already afternoon. Qi Le's greasy hair was stuck to his scalp, his face was shiny, oil stains were everywhere on his clothes, and the green beard on his chin was twisted together in a mess.
It is no longer possible to tell that I was once a second-tier top player, and my eyes are full of confusion and numbness.
The arms only mechanically rise and fall, dividing the ribs into even small pieces.
"Which one is Qi Le?"
Tangni asked in a low voice.
The environmental inspection in Kaoshan Village was over. Tangni had nothing to do, so she flew over and continued to work as An Ran's assistant.
An Ran nodded.
Tang Ni said a little absent-mindedly: "I remember he used to have long flowing hair, and he was very handsome, but now he has become like this!"
An Ran sighed, "People will always change!"
To be honest, Qi Le's behavior now is far beyond his expectation.
Yangcheng is Qi Le's hometown. After being banned that year, it wasn't long before it was revealed that his wife, whom he had been married to for more than a year, owed huge gambling debts due to excessive gambling.
The large number is enough to make Qi Le collapse.
In the end, Qi Le sold the house and used all his assets to pay off his wife's gambling debt.
But the bigger blow is yet to come.
Just when he wanted to cheer up and start a new life, his wife started divorcing him.
Frustrated, Qi Le finally agreed to sign.
But after that, there was no news.
Speaking of which, this guy is much more miserable than his original self. Even if he didn't die directly, he has a strong heart.
An Ran still admires her very much.
Tang Ni looked at Qi Le blankly, "He must have been hit hard. I'm afraid he has given up on the entertainment industry. I don't think it will be easy for him to come back!"
Of course An Ran knows.
He had also experienced this kind of despair back then. His friends suddenly became cold and indifferent, his love became a joke, and he became a cockroach in the corner, as if he had fallen into an abyss.
Qi Le is countless times more powerful than he was before.
At least he didn't live in a drunken dream and still wanted to live.
As long as he still wants to survive, he will have a dream. He doesn't believe that Qi Le has no idea in his heart.
An Ran and Tang Ni walked to the meat stall.
With a "chop" sound, the bone chopping knife fell on the chopping board.
Qi Le smiled and said, "You two, please order some pork ribs!"
A professional smile only affects the facial muscles and does not really mean to smile.
An Ran shook her head, "Qi Le, I want to invite you back to the entertainment industry!"
Qi Le was stunned immediately.
The cigarette fell from his mouth and fell on the chopping board.
After a while, he swept the ashes on the chopping board to the ground and said coldly: "You two, please go back. I don't know who you are, and this joke is not funny at all!"
Qi Le's face was gloomy, with one fist clenched.
Obviously, he doesn't mind others mentioning his past.
"Teacher Qi, I am doing a song variety show, and I sincerely invite you to participate!" An Ran said sincerely.
Qi Le looked at him sideways for a while, "I've been out of breath for a long time, how many people can remember me now? Aren't you afraid of losing yourself to death?"
An Ran said nonchalantly: "I don't care, I have confidence in myself!"
"Have confidence? Hehe!" Qi Le laughed twice, "Newborn calf... I used to... It's a pity, I'm not interested!"
Your uncle!
This guy feels a bit out of touch.
"Teacher Qi, think about it carefully. Your appearance fee is 2 million. Although the price is not high, it is not low either. At least it will help a lot to change your life!"
"Two million?" Qi Le shook his head slightly, "It's free money. You probably don't know that I left the entertainment industry because I was banned by the music association, right?"
"I don't want to hurt you and make you waste your money!" Qi Le sighed.
Two million is not a small amount to him now!
Whether he wants it or not, of course he does.
When his ex-wife passed away, the daughter left to him was his greatest comfort over the years.
He also wants to give his daughter a better life.
With these 2 million, he can buy a larger house in Yangcheng, change his daughter to a better school, and make his living conditions better.
However, he is an artist banned by the music association, and there is no hope of any contribution.
Once the music association knows that An Ran hired someone like him, it is very likely that this program will not be able to continue at all.
Unexpectedly, An Ran smiled "hehe": "I am also a person who has been banned by the Music Association, how about it? How about we cooperate and give the Music Association a surprise?"
Qi Le looked at him in astonishment. None of the singers who had been banned by the music association for so many years could turn around.
After a long while, Qi Le finally lit a cigarette with little interest and said: "Not interested!"
Your sister!
