Fans are the foundation of traffic stars.
Without fan support, a traffic star's future is effectively over.
Precisely because of this, many management companies, to avoid such situations, choose to explicitly state in contracts that artists should not date during the contract period.
Therefore, it's not that traffic stars don't want girlfriends, but that they can't.
Secondly, even if fans were generous and forgiving enough to allow their idols to find girlfriends, they wouldn't dare to.
The entertainment industry is a melting pot of corruption; the more money it generates, the more tainted it becomes.
Traffic stars are a major target of this corruption. Lacking talent and relying solely on their looks, they must resort to various means of hype to maintain their traffic, stay relevant, and increase their popularity.
These hype tactics are often unsavory and cannot stand up to scrutiny. If they were to find a girlfriend, and she were to be a bit more cautious and capture evidence, a breakup and subsequent exposure would lead to immense trouble.
Having a girlfriend comes with significant risks and constraints. One can't just move on to a second if they've found one, otherwise, they'd be labeled a cheating scumbag, and breakups would be complicated.
Prostitution, on the other hand, is different. It's a transactional exchange of money for flesh, a fleeting encounter where once it's over, both parties go their separate ways, never to know each other again, and one can switch partners at will.
Finally, there's the inherent flaw in human nature, specifically men's.
Our ancestors wisely said: "A wife is not as good as a concubine, a concubine not as good as a maid, a maid not as good as a prostitute, a prostitute not as good as illicit love, and illicit love not as good as the desire for it!"
This feeling of private indulgence, while perhaps not as thrilling as actual infidelity, is nonetheless quite stimulating.
In the gilded and materialistic battlefield of the entertainment industry, traffic stars, desensitized by the extravagance and decadence, crave excitement and novelty.
The only things that can jolt a numb mind and body back to life in a short period are vices like sex, gambling, and drugs, with sex being the primary one.
It is due to these complex reasons that traffic stars would rather risk their careers by engaging in prostitution than settle down with a decent girl.
Xiao Hei, not being part of the industry, couldn't comprehend these intricate subtleties. He could only think that these people were out of their minds, doing foolish things that ruined their futures.
While both engaged in prostitution, Wang Chenyu and Zhong Xiaoxin’s inherent flaws differed, and so did their chosen locations.
As an experienced player, Zhong Xiaoxin not only ventured into riskier territory but also operated more discreetly and had heavier tastes.
When other celebrities engage in prostitution, they either stay at a friend's place, find a random apartment, or go directly to a hotel.
Zhong Xiaoxin, with his peculiar mindset, rejected all these readily available options and instead chose to set up tents near desolate cemeteries for his liaisons.
When Xiao Hei saw Jian Zhou’s red pen highlighting Zhong Xiaoxin’s preference for cemeteries, he couldn't help but roll his eyes.
My goodness, what kind of people are these!
This is just too bizarre.
Despite its strangeness, Zhong Xiaoxin's choice was quite ingenious.
On one hand, hotels, guesthouses, and friends' homes are crowded with people and paparazzi, making them prone to exposure.
Cemeteries, however, are places for the dead. Few people visit during the day, let alone at night.
With the chilling winds and eerie aura at night, anyone would be terrified. Who would ever imagine someone hiding there for their clandestine activities?
On the other hand, the unique nature of cemeteries also brought a different kind of novelty and thrill.
When passion ignites between a man and a woman, it's novel at first. But after repeated encounters, it becomes monotonous. It’s always the same few people, offering no excitement.
Setting up a tent on a cemetery ground amidst the dead, with the chilling wind and ghostly presence outside and fiery passion inside, the thought alone is stimulating enough to make one's nose bleed.
