Gu Yu, who has won the Best Actor award multiple times, did not disappoint those who were looking forward to him this time. The way he stood on the stage, holding the trophy, was mesmerizing.
But the news that followed stunned everyone: Gu Yu, a legend in the entertainment industry, was retiring from the business.
The moment the news broke, even the live stream camera seemed to shake. The applause in the audience ceased, and only the speaker could be heard continuing his retirement speech on stage.
"It's fake, right? It's fake, right? Don't do this!"
"I don't believe it! My brother's career is so successful, why would he retire from the entertainment industry?"
"Waaaaah, please don't retire from the entertainment industry, brother! Please!"
"I was so happy to see my brother win the award, why did he suddenly announce his retirement from the entertainment industry!"
"I feel like I'll never love again. I was in the fandom for Gu Yu. He left the fandom, so I left too."
"Actually, it's not entirely unacceptable. Longtime fans have been with him all the way. Although it's rare for someone his age to retire from the industry, we respect his choice. We hope he can rest well, live a good life, and that everything will be alright."
"I thought I would be very sad, but sadness wasn't my primary emotion. When he announced this decision, I actually felt a sense of relief that this day had finally come. My brother has always worked hard for us and never slacked off on any task, which is why I've always been a fan of his. But after a while, he must get tired, right? My brother isn't a god. If I remember correctly, he also has a company to manage. Rather than continuing to work at such a high workload, I hope he can get some rest."
“I also think that even if my brother retires from the entertainment industry, we will still be his fans. We may not see him release any new works, but we can still continue to support him quietly. I think that is enough.”
Gu Yu's announcement of his retirement from the entertainment industry trended on Weibo for a full week, a rare occurrence in this forgetful internet age. And Gu Yu truly did retire as he said; the company's official Weibo account also released a statement declaring that from now on, Gu Yu would no longer appear as an artist, but rather as the company's president.
"I suddenly feel like laughing. A handsome idol announced his retirement from the entertainment industry because he wants to go back to being a domineering CEO?"
"What were you saying earlier, brother? No, the president isn't domineering at all, okay? The president is super gentle."
"There may be no gentle idol, but there is still a gentle CEO. Sisters, I can still be like this."
"After my brother became a CEO, I don't know if it triggered some strange gene in me, but I just want to ask when the CEO and his wife will be settled?"
"You're not the only one who's suddenly getting the urge to get married. Our CEO is handsome, has a great physique, is gentle and considerate, and is also rich. It's really important to get married to a good family as soon as possible."
"Why does the preceding statement sound so strange?"
"Brother, would the CEO's wife consider me? I'm a PhD candidate in finance. Would you give me a chance?"
"I clicked in to see the CEO, how did it turn into a blind date scene?"
Gu Yu's retirement changed many things. Many male actors in the entertainment industry actually cheered his departure. After all, in their view, as long as Gu Yu was around, the crown of Best Actor would never fall on their heads, and no one wanted to be suppressed forever.
However, many people were also saddened because Gu Yu was truly an excellent actor, and his departure was a great loss to the entertainment industry.
But no matter what others think or how they see it, Ye Chu can't help but chuckle and say that she's the one who's guaranteed to make a profit.
At that time, she was on her way to a new film crew. The Best Actress award made her extremely busy, with an incredibly tight schedule. She could only squeeze in a video call with Gu Yu when she had a spare moment.
"I'll miss you, bye~" Ye Chu waved to the person on the other end of the video call, then hung up the phone and prepared to get off the car and go to the film set.
Mr. Gu, who was unwilling to have the video call ended, felt a tightness in his chest. Ye Chu's schedule was in his hands, and it was completely packed with no spare time.
President Gu pursed his lips, an idea popped into his head, he booked his train ticket, then worked overtime to finish his work, packed his luggage, boarded the train, and couldn't wait to begin his visit to the set.
Ye Chu is filming a campus drama where she plays a supporting role, a female teacher. Why wouldn't someone with Ye Chu's current status play the lead role? Because this drama doesn't have a lead character; everyone is a supporting character. They are all supporting characters in an exam called the college entrance examination. Only whoever ultimately triumphs will become the lead.
The teacher's character is quite ordinary: a top graduate from a prestigious university returns to his former high school to teach and is assigned to be the homeroom teacher of the worst-performing class.
The school had already given up on half of this class. The only purpose of assigning her to teach this class was to see if this new teacher could save the students in the end.
She was the school's last hope for these underachieving children, and also their hope.
This story doesn't involve romance; it simply records the special bond between students and teachers, the dedication on the teaching platform, and the sweat on the teacher's desk.
After a day of filming, Changji took Ye Chu to a rather secluded restaurant for a meal. Ye Chu was wondering why the other party suddenly wanted to take her out to eat when a familiar figure appeared in the reserved private room, immediately dispelling all her doubts.
"Why are you here!" Ye Chu exclaimed in surprise, throwing herself into Gu Yu's arms. The familiar scent emanating from him instantly relaxed her.
"I missed you." Gu Yu gently pulled her into his arms, his eyes filled with a tenderness that could melt anyone's heart. Chang Ji tactfully left, leaving only the two of them in the private room.
