Gu Zhongyu walked to the podium, without saying a word, picked up a marker, turned around and started writing on the white writing board.

"The new bamboo is taller than the old bamboo branches," the students below read it while watching Gu Zhongyu write.

"It all depends on the old trunk for support."

"There will be new ones next year,"

"Ten-foot-long dragon grandchildren surround the phoenix pond."

After writing this poem, Gu Zhongyu turned around again, stood on the podium, and asked questions to the students below.

"Which student can tell me the name and author of this poem?"

"Teacher, this is the new bamboo of Zheng Banqiao in the Qing Dynasty." Yang Caiyu stood up and answered the question as soon as Gu Zhongyu finished asking the question. As expected, she was the student with the best cultural grades in this class and had a lot of knowledge.

"The answer is correct. Do you know what this poem means?"

"This poem is about bamboo and people. The first two sentences describe how bamboo is better than its predecessor. The growth of new forces always requires the active support of the older generation. The last two sentences are about looking forward, showing that new forces will be stronger. This poem is generally used to express the teacher's expectations for students and the gratitude of the younger generation for the support of the elders."

"The answer is very good! Did you hear it clearly, classmates? Do you know why I wrote this poem?" Gu Zhongyu was very satisfied with Yang Caiyu's answer. Most actresses are just for show, but this young lady made him look up to her.

I don't know why I was blind in my previous life and fell in love with a wretched middle-aged uncle!

"Teacher Gu! Teacher Gu! Why are you teaching literature today? Are you also teaching our college Chinese course?" Class monitor Xu Xiaolu asked happily. If Teacher Gu taught one more course, she would see him more, which is good!

"Teacher, you wouldn't..." Some smart students in the audience have guessed the meaning of Gu Zhongyu's poem.

"Hehe! All good things must come to an end. The purpose of writing this poem today is to wish all students to grow up like young bamboo shoots that have broken through the ground, and to be strong and resilient in the face of wind and rain; secondly, to say goodbye to everyone. I will resign from my duties as a guest teacher and leave Beijing Film Academy today."

Ah!

"Teacher, please don't! We can't bear to part with you!"

"It's too sudden! Are you going to abandon us?"

"Woo woo! I've only been here for less than a month, and I haven't even attended a few of your classes. Why are you leaving?"

"Are we too stupid to disappoint you? Are you leaving now?"

...

The students below wailed, and the emotions of reluctance, sadness, and grief began to spread. Everyone tried to keep Gu Zhongyu, hoping that he could stay and continue to teach them.

It seems that my charm is still very great! Gu Zhongyu looked at the students below who were so reluctant to leave him, and he was also a little happy in his heart. So many students loved him, and the teacher for more than two years was not in vain.

Among the many students in the audience, the saddest one was our classmate Nazha!

This big PY! He tricked me into studying at Beijing Film Academy. I thought that I could be with him day and night by relying on the teacher-student relationship. What's the first to get the water tower? I never expected that Gu Zhongyu would leave after only a few days. What's the point of him staying in Beijing Film Academy?

I don't like to study and go to school! I love Teacher Gu!

Thinking about it, Nazha's mouth shrank, her two big eyes were shining with tears, and she was about to cry. At this time, Gu Zhongyu on the stage also noticed Nazha's little emotion, blinked at her, and said that I know you are anxious, but don't be anxious, and I will talk to her alone later.

Nazha sniffed her nose and calmed herself down to see what Teacher Gu would talk to her later.

"I am also reluctant to leave you. I started teaching in 2009. I ended my teaching career before I graduated the first batch of students. I was also caught off guard. But students can rest assured that I will come back to see you when I have time." Gu Zhongyu comforted the students. In fact, it is almost impossible for him to have time to come back to class after he left.

"Teacher Gu, are you going to return to the entertainment industry now? Do you have any new works?" Li Xian in the audience asked curiously.

When the students heard Li Xian's question, they also thought of this possibility and looked at Gu Zhongyu expectantly.

Gu Zhongyu, once the first young actor in costume dramas and a well-rounded talent in film, television and music, suddenly retired to the second line without any signs and became an unknown teacher at Beijing Film Academy, which made many fans sad.

Now he suddenly decided to give up his teaching job. Does that mean he will come back to film TV dramas?

"Haha! Student Li guessed right. I am indeed going to be an actor again. The past two years of teaching life is actually a long vacation I gave myself. As you all know, I have been offered many movies since my debut. I have been filming and joining the crew repeatedly, without any time to rest and improve myself. I have rested enough in the past two years. It is time to return to the position of an actor and make some new works that I like and that everyone will like." Gu Zhongyu lied without blushing. He couldn't tell the students that he hadn't filmed for more than two years because he got into trouble and was trapped by his family! That would be too embarrassing.

"Teacher, can you tell us what kind of movie or TV series your comeback work will be?" Wu You really wanted to know. She had signed an economic contract with Zongheng Entertainment two days ago. If the company has a new work, as a company artist who is also a teacher and student, will she also have the opportunity to participate?

"It is a domestic science fiction film, plus an ancient history TV series, which may be broadcast at the same time."

Science fiction film? Domestic?

The students below felt that it was a bit ridiculous. This type of movie can only be made well in Hollywood. Although this is the work of their beloved teacher Gu, they also lowered their expectations. The science fiction film "Future Police" starring King Liu last year was organized for them to watch in the school screening room not long ago, but it was used as a negative example of domestic bad movies, which left them with a deep psychological shadow. It was simply too bad!

As for the historical drama starring Teacher Gu, we can still look forward to it. Although the historical drama has been unpopular since the broadcast of "The Ming Dynasty 1566" in 2008, Teacher Gu is the first young actor in costume dramas, and he is a well-known screenwriter. Maybe he can make this type of TV series something new!

"Then Teacher Gu, if you want to shoot a drama again, are you short of people? The students are very happy to be props for you for free?" Some students couldn't help but ask Gu Zhongyu the question they were most concerned about.

"Ha! Of course, the teacher's crew needs actors, and you will definitely be given priority." Gu Zhongyu responded generously.

It's just that it has been decided long ago, and most of you have no chance!

Gu Zhongyu added in his heart, looking at the young faces of the students in the audience, most of whom he had no impression of in his previous life. These people are destined to become scraps in the entertainment industry and have no fate of becoming famous!

Survival of the fittest. Every year, more than 80% of the graduates from Beijing Film Academy end up being unknown, and some don’t even have a chance to act. Reality is so cruel!
