Initially, the fans thought that the company was playing an April Fool's Day prank.
They would not come to terms with it and were unwilling to believe that the obituary was real. They even went to Huanyu's official website to leave comments, scolding the website for being nasty to hype up the news using such malicious words!
"Gu Xingze said that he's going to America for his postgraduate studies! I reckon it's the company's malicious publicity stunt! Although Gu Xingze set up his own studio, he's still under Huanyu's wing. Now that Huanyu has lost such a significant revenue generator, they're being vindictive. That's why they created such a damaging publicity stunt! They want to take advantage of Gu Xingze's popularity to create a vicious publicity stunt before he leaves for good!"
"This is too much! You can't disregard your years of relationship with Gu Xingze just because he insists on leaving the entertainment industry!"
