Huayu 1995

Chapter 290 My name is Huang Xiaoming (Seeking monthly votes)
"Teacher, my name is Huang Xiaoming. Can I attend more of these intensive training classes?"

Su Chao's departure was very difficult.

There are always people who want to chat with him; some are curious about him personally, while others are curious about his training courses.

"The intensive course has taught you enough, there's no need to take more. With your looks, getting into the Beijing Film Academy shouldn't be a problem."

Su Chao shook hands with the other person.

Xiao Ming was being modest. Su Chao never had the chance to talk to someone like him in his past life, but in this life he could look down on him.

This is probably the advantage of being reborn.

"I really like the atmosphere here, and if possible, I'd like to sign up a few more times."

Huang Xiaoming is a smart man.

He had no background; his family was just an ordinary middle-class family. But he managed to become the top star in the entertainment industry, a figure of great importance. This was definitely not just due to luck.

He keenly sensed that this dream home was no ordinary place.

What he valued was not the stuff taught in the Dream House crash course.

Connections!

Before coming to the training course, he had heard of Dream Home more than once, and had seen a group of Dream Home students gathered together more than once.

That atmosphere made him envious.

He deeply regretted not having heard about this dream home sooner.

Fortunately, it's not too late now.

He just needs to spend more time here, and everyone will become his friend.

"Whatever makes you happy~"

Su Chao didn't try to persuade him any further. Good advice is useless to a damn fool. Three hundred yuan a day is equivalent to half a month's salary for an office worker. Go as many times as you want.

As for losing people's hearts just by chatting.

Su Chao could only be described as naive and foolish. If he were so easily defeated, Qi Shilong wouldn't have needed to invite him to dinner.

When Su Chao arrived at the restaurant, he found that in addition to Qi Shilong, Cui Xinqin was also there.

This must be the new class teacher.

A department head and a new class advisor—that's quite a show of sincerity.

Actually, it doesn't matter where Su Chao goes to school.

I was initially considering the Central Academy of Drama because the name sounds prestigious, and the quality of the 96 star class at the Central Academy of Drama was slightly higher than that of the 96 star class at the Beijing Film Academy.

If Nortel could offer better terms...

"How did you come up with the idea of ​​starting a training course?"

While waiting for the food, Teacher Cui Xinqin asked curiously.

When Su Chao went to the Beijing Film Academy to take the exam, she wasn't in charge of Su Chao's session, but she had heard of him.

Today, Qi Shilong asked her to meet a new student together.

After she learned about the situation, she came along.

However, unlike Qi Shilong's deep concern, she didn't think the matter was that serious.

Let's not even mention that the Central Academy of Drama and Beijing Film Academy each have their own enrollment plans.

The Central Academy of Drama wouldn't admit an extra class just because there are many applicants, and the Beijing Film Academy wouldn't fail to recruit students just because there are few applicants.

Even if Su Chao has influence over student admissions, it will only affect him during his time at the university. Once he graduates, it will be difficult for him to have any influence anymore.

Even though Zhang Yimou is so amazing, I haven't seen many people apply to the Beijing Film Academy because of him.

Moreover, Su Chao has already debuted and achieved success, so he cannot continue running the training program indefinitely.

The money he earns from a training course may not even be as much as he earns from a single commercial performance.

She came along because Qi Shilong insisted on talking to Su Chao. If Su Chao is willing to come to Beijing Film Academy, that would indeed be a good thing.

"It's a long story. After graduating from high school, I failed to get into university. My family's financial situation wasn't great, so I decided to come to Beijing to pursue my dreams..."

Su Chao didn't feel the usual awkwardness one feels when meeting a teacher after passing the exam.

In fact, his dining etiquette and his demeanor when chatting with people are very mature.

After all, he has lived for almost sixty years in total across his two lifetimes.

"Beijing Drifting?"

This term is a bit outrageous, always inevitably associated with eating coarse food and wild vegetables.

"Yes, later I worked as an extra and met some friends. We all felt that being an extra had no future, so we decided to try for the top three art colleges. But we weren't regular art students, and we didn't even know what classes art students took."

Su Chao's statement was half true and half false.

"It's not easy."

Qi Shilong could understand how Su Chao and the others felt.

Some people say that Su Chao's training courses have created educational inequality and are unfair to those who did not attend them.

However, without training classes, which children, those in the city or those in the countryside, receive fair treatment?

There is no fairness between ordinary children and children of celebrities.

There is no such thing as absolute fairness in this world.

"We took the few hundred yuan we had painstakingly saved up and enrolled in a training course, only to be scammed out of everything..."

This lie has been told many times.

At first, it was about Guo Xiaodong being scammed, but later everyone was "scammed".

When people were bragging, that became the original intention of running training courses.

That's totally reasonable.

"The training market is indeed quite chaotic right now, but there's nothing we can do about it."

Cui Xinqin knew that several teachers were running training courses.

They didn't do it themselves; instead, they had relatives introduce teachers and students to them.

With everyone's salary less than a thousand, a training course with a dozen or so students can earn them a year's salary in a month.

In a market economy, money is needed everywhere.

"Good training courses cost several thousand or even tens of thousands of yuan, so I discussed it with a few friends and decided to start our own training course. That's how Dream Home came about, and we succeeded without even realizing it." Su Chao really wasn't bragging.

He has already expressed himself very conservatively.

In this statement, he severely downplayed his own initiative.

Blaming everything on "carelessness".

He didn't even mention that he was one of the lecturers.

There are always some people who can achieve mature accomplishments at an immature age; people call them geniuses.

Which school do you plan to apply to?

Despite his considerable courtesy and respect for younger generations, Qi Shilong is already fifty-five years old. At this age, his achievements and experience have reached their peak, making it difficult for him to avoid arrogance and impatience when interacting with younger people.

"It's not confirmed yet. I'm quite curious about the exam questions and standards of the three universities, so I plan to try them all."

Even if Su Chao is certain, he will say he is not certain.

Anyway, no one can pry open his head to see the truth.

If he says he chose the Central Academy of Drama simply because its name includes "Central" while the Beijing Film Academy only uses "city" in its name, I wonder if those two teachers from the Beijing Film Academy will pour spicy broth from a hot pot onto his head.

"Do you plan to pursue a career in film and television, or in stage plays?"

Cui Xinqin is from the Performing Arts Department.

If she were a teacher in the directing department, she would only say, "Directing Department of Beijing Film Academy, come here!"
There's nothing that can be done for the performing arts department.

The saying that Beijing Film Academy produces stars and Central Academy of Drama produces actors is not a new concept; it has been around for a long time.

"I've acted in a film and television production. I've acted in a movie directed by Huang Jianxin. The movie is about to be released, and I played a supporting role."

Su Chao put down his chopsticks.

He wasn't full yet, but the two people opposite him had already put down their chopsticks, so he couldn't eat anymore.

The food we ordered wasn't enough.

It can only be said that both teachers are frugal people and underestimated his appetite.

"If it's film and television acting, you could consider the Beijing Film Academy. They've produced many graduates there..."

Cui Xinqin began to persuade her.

Actually, when it comes to film and television actors, people might think that Beijing Film Academy > Central Academy of Drama > Shanghai Theatre Academy.

But actually, the Shanghai Theatre Academy has a lot of veteran actors.

Wei Zongwan, You Benchang, Zheng Yuzhi, Jiao Huang, Li Jianyi, Li Youbin... these are all from the Shanghai Theatre Academy.

If we're talking about Beijing Film Academy, we'd probably have to mention actors like Wang Zhiwen and Jiang Wenli.

They're more than one level apart.

“I will seriously consider it…” Su Chao did not refuse, then changed the subject and said, “The training course should have ended a long time ago. At the beginning, my friends and I did not plan to make it last too long. We would close it down after we all passed the exam.”

There's a flaw in Su Chao's statement, but it doesn't matter; he's just expressing an attitude.

"What happened next? Did you plan to continue driving it?"

Qi Shilong was speechless. A person should keep their word. You said you would shut down the computer once you passed the exam.

How can you change your mind?

“When I was running the training courses, I met a lot of people, all kinds of people, each with their own difficulties. I thought that even if I didn’t make money, I would give them, who had also been confused, another chance to choose.”

Su Chao's words sounded very high-sounding.

But you can't refute him, and there's no point in refutating him anyway.

Because the money spent on the training course is really insignificant to Su Chao right now.

If his album sells three million copies, he will earn at least five million in royalties. Adding in the royalties from writing songs for several top stars, he could potentially earn eight million a year, with a continuous stream of income to follow.

The first training course had 20 people, and the tuition was less than 60,000 yuan. After deducting the cost, the profit might not even reach 40,000 yuan.

Moreover, Dream Home often gives students two or three times the amount of class time, which further reduces profits to below 30,000.

Who can say he did it for the money?

"So young, yet so responsible..."

Even Qi Shilong couldn't criticize Su Chao's decision.

He couldn't say that the training course was against the rules.

It's also impossible to say that training experience has no positive impact on an actor's career.

Those reasons are just excuses used by rule-makers to fool ordinary people.

"Actually, I understand the concerns of both teachers."

Seeing that the party was about to end and he had almost finished eating, Su Chao decided to say something from his heart.

"What are you worried about?"

Cui Xinqin felt a headache and wanted to rub her temples.

This Su Chao is unlike anyone she has ever met; she can't treat him like someone her age.

“I’m young, so I’ll be straightforward,” Su Chao set the tone first, then continued, “You might worry that my training program will influence which schools students choose. For example, now that I’ve gone to the Central Academy of Drama, I’ll be leading many people to choose the Central Academy of Drama…”

"Indeed it is."

Qi Shilong also chose to be straightforward.

He's over fifty, and he doesn't really want to scheme against someone who's eighteen or nineteen.

"Don't worry, I won't do that. It's pointless. Even if I choose a school, I won't advise my students to take the entrance exam for the Central Academy of Drama. Similarly, I won't take my students to take the entrance exam for the Beijing Film Academy. I only choose students based on whether they are suitable or not."

Su Chao said with a smile.

Qi Shilong shook his head with a wry smile, and Cui Xinqin smiled too.

Although it didn't confirm Su Chao's decision to apply to the Beijing Film Academy, it did ease their worries.

Their meal wasn't a waste of time.

Especially when they went to pay the bill, they found out that someone had already paid.

Su Chao didn't use the excuse of going to the restroom to pay the bill.

He had already spoken to the Taoist priest, asking him to come over and pay the bill halfway through the trip.
