Chapter 234 Freshman Registration
Chapter 234 Freshman Registration
I was interviewed by a reporter and chatted for a few minutes.
The content is nothing more than what it's like to go to college, when "A Quiet Place 2" will be released, when the new album will be released, etc.
I just finished my work.
A group of seniors who had been waiting for a long time appeared from various places.
Many students lack resources and connections, but they clearly know that Fan Wumian has signed several newcomers from Beijing Film Academy, and they all hope that they can become the next lucky one.
An old senior sister dressed up beautifully and came up to Fan Wumian with a warm tone and said with a smile:
"Hi, handsome Mr. Fan, my name is Ding Na, I'm a junior in the acting department, I know everyone in the whole school, can I take you to register?"
No time to be polite.
There was also an old senior student next to her, who said enthusiastically:
"When I was a freshman, I played a supporting role in the TV series "Fortune Star Pig Bajie". I heard that the online copyright was bought by Mr. Fan's company? Let me help you with your luggage. Oh, you didn't bring your suitcase."
When Fan Wumian heard about the TV series "Lucky Pigsy", he glanced at the other person and had no impression of it at all. He politely replied:
"Yeah, I probably won't live on campus. I often need to work and write songs at night, which may disturb other students."
Actors who graduate from professional schools can only be said to have a slightly increased chance of becoming famous. One or two people in a class have the chance to become famous, and the rest are basically "cannon fodder."
After graduating from the acting department, it is very difficult to not get any acting jobs. The situation of most graduates is even worse than that of the directing department.
At the very least, graduates from the directing department of the Beijing Film Academy have a skill.
Even if you just shoot some commercials, or even follow the actors at weddings or take private photos for internet celebrities, at least you can support your family without any problems, and the diploma is still very valuable.
Let’s look at the acting department.
Some students can earn hundreds of millions a year, some can join a drama troupe, which is already very good, and many more people have been extras for a few years and become frustrated and have no choice but to change careers.
People can only see the big and glamorous stars, but in fact, most students in the acting department are in a difficult situation.
It was a rare opportunity to meet a powerful investor like Fan Wumian. Even some seniors who were usually socially anxious gritted their teeth and gave it a try today, vying to show themselves in front of him.
Instead, some pretty and handsome younger classmates were left aside and no one cared about them.
The audience was talking at once.
Fan Wumian knew what they wanted, but the company’s resources were currently limited and it would not sign any new people in the short term unless it came across a truly great talent.
So he raised his hand, smiled bitterly and said:
"Excuse me, everyone. I've been here to shoot a movie before, so I'm very familiar with the school environment. Thank you for your hospitality, but you don't need to greet me. Just treat me as an ordinary freshman."
The voice just fell.
The phone in his trouser pocket vibrated. Fan Wumian thought Zhuang Muxi was looking for him, but after looking at the screen, he realized it was Yang Mi.
After being connected.
I just heard Yang Mi ask:
"Boss, are you at school? I'm at the gate. Do you want me to wait for you to register together?"
Fan Wumian replied:
"I'm already in. Please wait for me at the school gate. There are quite a few reporters here. If I can get you interviewed and show your face, I think we can get some press releases."
Hear the words.
The expressions of the people around him were mixed, and the word "sour" was written on their faces.
It is very difficult to make a name for yourself in the entertainment industry without resources and connections.
On the other hand, Fan Wumian.
When he said "showing his face in an interview", his tone was very understated.
His life is the dream of many Beijing Film Academy students.
Seeing that Fan Wumian was not interested, no one continued to pester him, for fear that they would not gain any benefit but instead become disliked.
Arrived at the school gate again.
Fan Wumian soon met Yang Mi and her parents.
There was no need for any arrangements; the reporters came over naturally and surrounded them.
"The Return of the Condor Heroes" has not been released yet, and Yang Mi has no representative works.
However, she took the art exam with Fan Wumian and was lucky enough to sign a contract with Bandit King Media. This matter had already been spread by the media.
With the help of the company's public relations team, they successively released Yang Mi's college entrance examination results, stills from the filming of "The Return of the Condor Heroes", photos with Fan Wumian, etc., making this girl a little famous.
I think the news that Yang Mi signed a contract with Fan Wumian's company and became his classmate would easily attract attention from the outside world.
The reporters were quite enthusiastic and asked her some questions during the interview.
When asked why he signed Yang Mi, Fan Wumian explained that on the day of the art exam, he felt that Yang Mi was serious in preparing for the skit, and it happened that the drama that his company was preparing was mainly aimed at young people and needed some young actors.
After a short interview.
Yang Mi felt a little awkward with her parents present, so she said to her father:
"How about you help me deliver my luggage to the dormitory first? I'll just go check in with him and call him if anything happens?"
Father Yang was stunned after hearing this, and inexplicably felt like a light bulb. However, thinking about the various news about Fan Wumian, he found him more pleasing to the eye, so he just nodded and smiled:
"That's fine. The school is so small anyway, and there's no need to worry about you getting lost. Your mom and I will wait for you in the car later. Mr. Fan, can we find a restaurant for lunch?"
Fan Wumian quickly declined and said:
"Don't bother, I have something to do later. The experts at the Forbidden City helped me find a company that specializes in producing gold bricks. I will use them for home decoration in the future. I feel that they are more stylish than ceramic tiles and wooden floors."
Father Yang said politely:
"Okay, we'll talk next time when you have time. Is the Qianlong shroud mentioned in the media a few days ago real?"
Seeing her husband suddenly gossiping, Yang Mi's mother quietly tugged at his clothes.
Fan Wumian replied:
"I just received the news last night that the DNA found there matches the DNA of Emperor Qianlong's remains."
Yang Mi's father was surprised:
"Wow! That would be a real treasure. Moreover, these old things from the Republic of China era won't even be confiscated. They will definitely be very valuable if they are auctioned off in a museum!"
I’m not sure how much it would sell for if it were released in this era, but 30 to 40 million RMB should be no problem.
Fan Wumian had no interest in collecting the shroud, even though it was a treasure buried with Emperor Qianlong. From the perspective of appreciation, it would not be appropriate to keep it in his hands.
So he answered decisively:
"After it's been cleaned and restored in the Forbidden City, I'll find an auction house to sell it."
Go to the awning with Yang Mi to register.
In early September, the weather was still hot.
Fan Wumian soon became sweaty. A kind-hearted senior student gave him a fan, and took the opportunity to ask for his autograph and took a photo with him.
Wherever he went, people would always stare at him, and many people would ask for his autograph.
Many freshmen were so excited to see celebrities for the first time in their lives that they screamed with joy, and were glad that they had chosen the right school.
In the forum of Beijing Film Academy.
Some students released photos of Fan Wumian as soon as possible, which attracted many fans to say that they must apply to the Beijing Film Academy and strive to become his junior.
The school management soon arrived.
Although we had discussed it in advance, we would not live on campus after enrolling.
But they still arranged a single dormitory for Fan Wumian and simply decorated it to make it convenient for him to take a temporary rest during classes.
The students only care about Fan Wumian's star side, but the school management considers more.
They were worried about not providing a good enough reception and bringing shame to the Beijing Film Academy, but they also hoped to get some donations to clean up the old school.
After looking at the dormitory environment, let’s talk about future teaching plans.
During the meeting, it was also discussed that if students need to ask for leave, they can just say hello to the teacher. The atmosphere is indeed quite relaxed and students will not miss the opportunity to debut and become famous just for the sake of going to school.
In the school's administrative office building, Fan Wumian met Liu Yifei again by chance.
The counselor named Shangguan Lan enthusiastically introduced:
"Liu Yifei! Come on, come on! Get to know the new junior. Next time I get the chance to make a movie, maybe I can support you again!"
"You two are now the representatives of the boys and girls in our school respectively. If you work together to make a movie, one of you has more male fans and the other has more female fans, the box office will definitely be very high."
"Fan Wumian, don't look at her young age, but she is already a senior and has taken my classes before."
Liu Yifei returned to school today to practice dance and acoustics.
She signed a contract with Sony Music Entertainment last year and was planning to release a solo album. After becoming a huge hit this year with "The Chinese Paladin", she no longer wants to continue filming low-paying TV dramas and hopes to move to the big screen.
pity.
Whether it was last year's "May Love" or "Love Winner", the box office results were mediocre.
Just the other day.
Liu Yifei had just turned 18, and her godfather spent millions to help hold a coming-of-age ceremony for her.
Now this girl is still quite lively in private. She came over, waved her hand and said with a smile:
"Hi, handsome Mr. Fan, I watched "You Are the Apple of My Eye" last month, and it moved me to tears. The heroine is so beautiful, no wonder you have liked her for so many years. It seems that she really went to study in the UK?"
It's obvious that he is just eating melons in front of others.
Fan Wumian calmly explained: "Yes, before filming the movie, she was admitted to Cambridge University in advance."
Liu Yifei continued to laugh:
"No wonder the script was written like this. It has earned 1.7 million RMB in the past 2 days. It may have a chance to break million by the National Day. It seems that only "Hero" in the mainland has achieved such a high box office."
"Thank you very much for your support. I never expected it to be so popular."
After the two of them exchanged pleasantries.
Shangguan Lan continued to play matchmaker and asked:
"Ms. Liu is beautiful and photogenic. I suggest you leave me your contact information so we can have a chance to cooperate."
"No problem at all"
Liu Yifei had just noticed Yang Mi, as her attention had been drawn to Fan Wumian. She said with a surprised expression:
"Eh? Guo Xiang, you're here at our school too? Last time when I was having dinner, I heard that The Return of the Condor Heroes is almost done with post-production and will be aired soon."
