Chapter 356 Trainee

I didn’t choose the wrong university.

Professional art colleges have slightly looser management.

It's already the second semester of his sophomore year, and no one has ever urged him to return to school. He is often mentioned on the school's official website, bulletin boards, and various public occasions, as if he were an outstanding alumnus, and the school is proud of him.

If Fan Wumian had not returned to school so seldom that even many of his teachers had never seen him, the Beijing Film Academy would have even considered giving him a scholarship, the kind whose symbolic significance would be greater than the money itself.

The single room dormitory reserved for Fan Wumian is cleaned by the dormitory manager every week.

They even reserved a long-term parking space for Fan Wumian in the teachers' parking area, to thank him for donating 300 million yuan to the school in the name of Shanzeiwang Media at the end of last year.

At the end of last year, tens of millions of dollars were donated in a low-key manner. The main purpose was actually to avoid taxes, but it was also a charity, and most of the budget was donated to the Hope Project.

If he had not chosen the Beijing Film Academy but went to a comprehensive university such as Peking University or Tsinghua University, people would have probably scolded him for his long absences from classes.

Once people find out that Fan Wumian does not go back to school to attend classes but is able to complete all the credits, both the school and himself will be deeply negatively affected, and may even collapse.

But at Beijing Film Academy, there is no such problem.

Because he studied acting, some self-media outlets once made a fuss about Fan Wumian's long-term leave, but many people on the Internet helped to refute the argument. Most people believed that one could learn more by staying in the crew to film.

There have even been rumors recently that the 25th Hong Kong Film Awards to be held in April will most likely give Fan Wumian a Best Actor award for "You Are the Apple of My Eye".

This is just groundless rumor and there is no reliable information to support it.

Given Fan Wumian's distant relationship with the Hong Kong film and television circles, it is unlikely that others would easily give him such a big prize for free.

However, the Bandit King Media's Hong Kong headquarters is indeed lobbying everywhere to help Zuo Ziyan win the "2005 Best Newcomer Award".

After she finished filming "Those Years", she became very popular and had a good chance of success.

As for Zhuang Muxi, she will directly try to compete for the "Best Actress Award". With the super high global box office performance of "A Quiet Place 1", she has a chance of winning.

In private.

To this end, Fan Wumian has reached an agreement with some people on terms of exchange of benefits, including personal guest appearances, filming opportunities, and filming funds.

A blacksmith must be strong himself, but the entertainment industry is complicated. Even Stephen Chow only won the "Best Actor Award at the Asia Pacific Film Festival" for "Justice, My Foot", which is enough to show the importance of private activities.

In order to boost the box office of "A Quiet Place 1" last year, Miramax Films temporarily gave it a nomination for "Best Foreign Language Film", which was as easy as eating and breathing.

Many foreign film festivals are very strict with Chinese-language films. The more backward and darker the mainland films appear, the higher the possibility of winning awards.

Fan Wumian is obsessed with making money and satisfying his own hobbies, and has no interest in kneeling down to win awards.

Giving awards to Zhuang Muxi and Zuo Ziyan is just to improve their status and add icing on the cake. Whether they succeed or not will not affect young audiences' love for them.
A few more days passed.

Fan Wumian took some time to prepare to write and casually opened QQ.

As one of the company's major shareholders, he specifically consulted with the development team and added a "prohibit anyone from adding" function.

Now he is the only one who can add new friends. Others cannot send requests to his account, and cannot see the content in his personal space.

So the outside world knows that the five-digit QQ account "88888" was given to Fan Wumian by the boss of Penguin Ma, but he can still keep his peace.

There were quite a few people looking for him in various class groups, work groups, and crew groups. In order to avoid feeling like he was playing a single-player game, Fan Wumian did not prohibit others from chatting with him privately.

I read several messages in succession.

Some well-known actors tried to get close to him, hoping to have the opportunity to continue working with him.

There was also a screenwriter who said that he had written a script and attached the outline, and wanted Fan Wumian to take some time to read it.

The message from my classmate Shi Xian was mixed in with a pile of unread messages.

He still has an impression of the white little cow.

During the military training last September, the other party tried every means to curry favor with him and was much more proactive than Liu Shishi.

"Wow, you sent me nine messages?"

After mumbling to himself, Fan Wumian opened the chat window and saw a small circle spinning and loading pictures.

For a moment, he even thought that the other party's account might have been hacked.

Due to inadequate security features, QQ accounts are frequently stolen these days and often make the news.

Many students do not have their own mobile phones, and only discover that their accounts have been stolen when they log into them again, which has been criticized by countless users.

Since Q coins are often stolen, users' enthusiasm for recharge is affected, which obviously has a serious impact on the company's performance.

Slide the laptop's touch panel.

I saw my classmate Shi Xian writing:

"Hi~ I haven't seen you in school for a long time, when will you come back?"

“I heard that your company is forming a girl group. Let’s see how I am doing. Please give me a chance (┬┬﹏┬┬)” “I will definitely work hard and be your slave. If you need an interview, I can dance and sing for you o(*////▽////*)o”

"."

Seeing that the picture was finally loaded, Fan Wumian scrolled down to look at it.

Shi Xian was seen wearing different styles of clothes and taking several photos. Among them, there was a photo of her wearing flat shoes, chopstick legs, a floral skirt, and a ponytail, which looked very pleasing to the eye.

There is also a photo of her wearing a one-piece swimsuit, with the caption: "Only for you~"

Fan Wumian's eyes twitched, and he thought that this girl probably thought he was an ignorant person. Her level was only enough to bully young boys, which was nothing unusual in his eyes.

After all, in a few years, short videos will be full of little internet celebrities who are good at hooking people, so many that it may even make people feel annoyed.

but.

It's not him. With Shi Xian's qualifications and high emotional intelligence, he might be very popular if he joined a girl group and charmed many young guys.

Although Baby Yang's facial features are delicate, it is hard to feel that she is sexy. The Allure Girls Group just happens to be lacking a vixen-type member.

then.

Fan Wumian typed a reply:

"I'm still busy filming and don't have time to go back for the interview. Please shoot a few singing and dancing videos and post them on Tudou.com. When you're ready, give me the link."

I don’t know how long I waited in front of the computer for the message Shi Xian sent yesterday, but he replied in seconds:
"Okay! You can take a look at my Weibo account first. My name is 'Beijing Film Academy Shi Xian'. It's already quite popular (～￣3￣)～"

He replied with a cool "hmm".

Fan Wumian felt that this girl was quite smart. She was only a freshman in college but had already started using the Internet to use her figure and appearance to promote herself and create opportunities.

This track is a bit crowded, but if you become popular on the Internet first, it can greatly increase the possibility of becoming famous, such as Guli Nazha, Bai Lu, Zhang Ruonan and others.

Open the Penguin Weibo and search for her name, and you will find that she has accumulated more than 16 fans. She mainly shares photos and daily life on the Beijing Film Academy campus online. She has also worked as a women's clothing model for Taobao merchants.

Watched for a few minutes.

Fan Wumian returned to QQ and typed again:
——"If there is no problem, you can only join the trainee team. If you are not qualified, you will be eliminated. However, because you are going to film a variety show, even if you are eliminated in the end, it is still a good opportunity for exposure."

Shi Xian replied

——“Thank you very much!!! Remember to look for me when you return to school. I will definitely treat you to a meal!! o(*////▽////*)o”

Just send an "OK" gesture emoticon.

Fan Wumian stood up and walked to the coffee table, rummaging through a pile of documents and found the information that the planning team had helped collect.

It was a thick stack containing the resumes and photos of the girls who had been screened.

He browsed through the photos one by one. Some were directly rejected, while others were placed aside. Occasionally, he could see some familiar faces, such as Guo Biting from Taiwan, and Zhang Yuqi, the runner-up of the "First National School Beauty Contest" held by Penguin Group last year.

If all these actresses were gathered together in a girl group, at least their appearance level would be incredibly high.

However, because it is a girl group, we also have to consider singing and dancing skills, so we can only make some trade-offs.

For example, Zhang Yuqi’s singing level is hard to describe, but considering the ratings of the idol trainee talent show, it is quite suitable for her to be a runner-up.

Looking through the photos one by one, since they are just selecting trainees, there is no need to be too strict. In the end, nine members will be selected from the thirty people.

We plan to recruit 30 trainees, but some people may not be willing to participate after receiving the invitation letter, so we need to send out more invitation letters so that there will be more places.

After working for a while, I finally went through all the resumes.

Suddenly remembered something.

Fan Wumian, who was feeling sleepy and preparing to take a shower and rest, blurted out:
"Fuck! I haven't written a single word yet. My manuscript for "Emperor of the Desolate Sky"."

Hollywood.

Speaking of Miramax Films, it was once very popular in the past few years.

In the 1990s, the company performed well and was acquired by Disney for tens of millions of dollars, but management rights are still in the hands of the Weinstein brothers.

Although Harvey Weinstein spent some money and relied on his power to have affairs with women everywhere and to have affairs with half of Hollywood, it is obvious that he has the ability. Almost every star who wants to win an Oscar has to ask him for help to smooth the relationship.

Many first- and second-tier Hollywood actresses had to ask him for help, and were reluctantly "smoothed" by him.

Last year, Harvey Weinstein took a fancy to "A Quiet Place 1" and thought it had the potential to become a box office dark horse, so he did not hesitate to spend a large sum of money.

At first, others laughed at me and thought I might lose everything.

However, it turned out that Weinstein was right, and Miramax Films made more than 1 million US dollars thanks to "A Quiet Place ".

Until now, it can still contribute nearly one million US dollars in peripheral copyright revenue every month, and has long been in the top ten of Amazon's DVD sales list and Netflix's rental list, with good commercial value.
