Supreme Heir Son-in-law

Chapter 1402: It’s Me

Really can’t understand, what’s wrong with these students nowadays?

Shaking his head, he looked at the two who barged in and got angry instantly. These students interrupting his peaceful life again and again is just too much.

"Well, here come two more. What are you planning to ruin today? If you dare touch my little garden again, beware, I won’t be nice to you. You students, one after another, really make this old man angry."

Teacher Bai was particularly angry. What’s wrong with these kids? He had just warned them a few days ago, and now they’re back. He is just an old teacher, and there’s nothing fun here.

Changnan Film Academy had better places to have fun, didn’t it? But these students don’t seem to care, always ending up here. There’s even a new trend online.

They say it’s about seeking the most primitive things, seeking these rural areas, prompting these students to come here repeatedly.

Really don’t know who invented this. If he knew, he’d give that person a piece of his mind. Teacher Bai planned silently in his heart.

Upon hearing Teacher Bai’s angry voice, Xiao Keyi couldn’t help being stunned. Before leaving school, Teacher Bai was still a cultured and gentle person. How come now he’s so coarse, completely different from before?

Having not seen him for so many years, can time really change a person? Can even a person’s demeanor change? Moreover, compared to when he was younger, Teacher Bai now had some wrinkles, and his hair had turned somewhat white.

Xu Ke looked at Teacher Bai, this elderly man indeed deserves respect. It’s said he has many excellent works; even the veteran actors in the entertainment circle respect him greatly.

Teacher Bai has quite a few disciples in the entertainment industry. Most of those veteran actors came from him; not to mention many directors and producers were also his students. How could Teacher Bai not be famous?

Even so, Teacher Bai hasn’t planned to take any other path and has always diligently worked in the teaching profession.

Yet, doing this for so many years, Teacher Bai never complained, and even wanted to continue doing it.

After all, it has always been Teacher Bai’s dream, and his family has been in the teaching profession for three generations.

Xiao Keyi, with tears in her eyes, walked towards Teacher Bai. Seeing the child wasn’t quite right, Teacher Bai initially thought she had been bullied. But the more he looked, the more familiar she seemed. Where had he seen her before? He didn’t remember such a beautiful and graceful student among his current pupils.

Could it be these students were playing another prank to tease him? Thinking of this, Teacher Bai’s face turned serious, and he angrily asked, "Alright, you little rascals, what idea have you come up with to bother your teacher again? I tell you, don’t plan to involve me in your antics. If you keep this up, I won’t be nice!"

Teacher Bai said this with a bit of fear, scared that the flowers in his garden might be harmed by these students, so he quickly blocked the garden in front of them.

As he got closer, the feeling of familiarity with Xiao Keyi grew stronger. How could he have such a student? Then he looked towards Xu Ke nearby.

He hadn’t seen such a handsome young man for many years; how could he have a student like this? Where were these students from? Could they be from the entertainment industry?

Thinking about people from the entertainment industry, Teacher Bai didn’t show a good face. It’s not that those in the industry weren’t professionally trained, but some were singers trying to act in TV dramas, others entering midway because of their good looks, hoping to make money from the entertainment circle.

Is the entertainment circle really that easy to earn from? Teacher Bai doesn’t think so.

In Teacher Bai’s mind, the entertainment industry has always been a sacred place, a place born for art, and it shouldn’t become a place for these people to exploit with selfish intentions.

So every year, non-professional actors would come asking Teacher Bai for guidance, hoping to improve their acting skills and land better roles. But every time Teacher Bai encountered such actors, he wouldn’t say a word and would directly show them out.

He wouldn’t give them face, which is a well-known secret in the entertainment industry; everyone knows it.

So over the years, very few people came looking for Teacher Bai, afraid of facing rejection. And when it happens, it’s awkward; besides, Teacher Bai won’t spare anyone’s face, he’ll directly announce it, wouldn’t that be mortifying?

Moreover, those actors still remember Teacher Bai’s words of refusal, which were so striking that even directors within the industry had heard of them.

"You people, none of you want to do your professional work in a professional manner, and now you’re looking to make money in the entertainment industry. Yet none of you can endure hardships, believing your good looks are all you need. If your looks were all it took, many people could do what you do. Do you really think you’re that good-looking?"

"I’ve told you before, a good work must be expressed through the actors. But what exactly are you actors doing? Trying to prop up a bunch of good-looking ones, overshadowing the truly good actors, what’s the use? You decorative objects should stop coming to me."

After scolding these people, Teacher Bai even bluntly dropped harsh words that left a lasting memory.

"You people think you’re some figures now, but two or three years later, no one will remember you. Assuming fans will always remember you, one single expression forever. Not to mention watching for two or three years, even after watching for two or three months it’s tiresome. From the first episode to the last of a drama, you carry the same expression like reciting lines, what’s the use?"

These words from Teacher Bai have even become as powerful as an edict among directors in the industry because he pointed out the core problem, yet what can these directors do? They have to hire popular actors to achieve ratings to boost their own fame.

Even if these words have meaning, still very few follow them.

And some even say Teacher Bai is a bit traditional now, discussing him as gossip during meals. But Xiao Keyi doesn’t agree. In Xiao Keyi’s heart, Teacher Bai is the most outstanding person.

"Teacher Bai, it’s me, many years have passed, and you can’t recognize me anymore, even wanting to drive me away." Xiao Keyi quickly wiped the tears from her eyes. "Looking at Teacher Bai like this, you must not like me visiting. If that’s the case, I’ll leave now."
