However, there were also fans who were not able to control their grief.
It was only when the hea.r.s.e drove past at a close distance, that the fans collectively cried out in pain, as though their world had collapsed around them!
There were even fanatic fans who went forward to knock on the vehicle door and wailed, “Xingze, don’t leave us! Xingze, wake up! Xingze, Xingze… Boohoo…”
Everyone was affected by the cries of despair and helplessness as tears streamed down their faces.
The memorial hall of Beijing’s Hongyang Funeral Home was already fully decorated.
Quite a number of celebrities had sent wreaths.
There were also many who had turned up to offer their condolences, and most of them were artists who had worked with Gu Xingze before. They laid down wreaths of condolences.
By 8 am, many celebrities had arrived at the venue in their nanny vans.
They could be sincere or just putting on an act, but as though they were trying to match the atmosphere, the artistes, both males and females, were all crying and wailing.
After all, the fans and media were present at the event. If they did not shed a single tear, they would be labeled as cold-blooded by the media and accused by the fans of having a heart of stone.
This was especially so for Lin Zhi. Even though she was not included in the list of invited guests for the memorial service, she knew that this was a rare opportunity to hype things up.
Gu Xingze’s memorial service was an extremely sensational event. With more than a hundred media outlets attending it, there would be overwhelming coverage.
If she partic.i.p.ated, it would definitely increase her exposure!
Of course, it had to be complete with putting up an act.
Her acting skills were not bad to begin with, so shedding a few tears was a stroll in the park for her.
Hence, as soon as she got out of the nanny van, Lin Zhi used her handkerchief to cover her face. Her eyes were bloodshot, and her emotions were already brewing as she made her way here.
After getting out of the car, she was supported by her a.s.sistant as she cried her way to the memorial hall.
Qin Zhou, who was dressed in all-black and standing at the entrance, was stunned when he saw Lin Zhi walking toward the memorial hall. He gritted his teeth in anger!
This woman Lin Zhi, even at a time like this, all she cared about was creating hype?!
When she came up to where he was, he warned her fiercely, “Since you came uninvited, then please don’t cause trouble at the memorial service! Otherwise, I’ll ban you!”
Lin Zhi was shocked by Qin Zhou’s threatening words and said aggrievedly, “I’m really here to bid farewell to Xingze! I’ve always respected Senior Xingze!”
“That’s for the best!”
With that, he turned away, refusing to give her another look.
Lin Zhi patted her chest lightly, wiped her tears somewhat guiltily, and walked into the venue.
Outside the door, the fans complied with the arrangements of the venue staff and lined up.
There was only about twenty minutes before the memorial service commenced.
Some of them could not help discussing among themselves. “Do you think Yun s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ will come today?!”
“I should think so! After all, she was starring opposite Gu Xingze as the female lead in her debut movie. They were even in a reality show together as imaginary lovers! Moreover, ‘Extreme Youth’, which has just wrapped up filming, is also starring her and Gu Xingze. She should be here!”
“If it weren’t for Xingze, Yun s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ would never have become so popular. I like her because she acted in ‘The Green Apple’ with him! If not for him, who would have noticed her?!”
“Me too. If it weren’t for Xingze, I wouldn’t even know who Yun s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ is.”
