Chapter 291 An Awkward Encounter (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
However, when Su Chao, Qi Shilong, and Cui Xinqin were politely walking towards the restaurant entrance, an awkward incident occurred.

This made Su Chao feel quite embarrassed.

Also heading towards the restaurant entrance was... Chang Li.

Therefore, the things we least want to happen often do happen, and people just shouldn't do bad things.

Although Su Chao has the right to choose who he eats with, it was still embarrassing to be caught by Chang Li.

You actually kept another cat behind my back.

I had a very good chat with Chang Li last time.

Although Su Chao didn't say he absolutely had to go to the Central Academy of Drama, he did talk about the "treatment" at the academy.

This includes, but is not limited to, free time during class.

"Teacher Chang!"

"Director Qi! Teacher Cui!"

Both are female teachers, both teach acting, and both are in their forties or fifties.

They will definitely be frequently compared within the industry.

They actually know each other quite well.

We just don't have much of a relationship.

Since we've seen each other, we certainly can't pretend we didn't.

Su Chao, standing to the side, felt a little awkward, as if he had been caught cheating by his wife.

Fortunately, he could still feign shyness.

"Su Chao, long time no see!"

Chang Li greeted Su Chao with a smile; her teaching style was different from Cui Xinqin's.

Cui Xinqin is known as Mother Cui.

She is a very gentle person.

Chang Li, however, is known for her strictness; none of the classes she was in charge of have ever graduated with all their students present.

There are always people who get eliminated by her along the way.

She is also the teacher who reports the most assignments among all the acting department teachers.

"Hello, Teacher Chang. We just met yesterday. Have you forgotten? You were one of the preliminary examiners."

Su Chao didn't give Chang Li any face.

What do you mean by "long time no see"? We're not a couple, so a day apart feels like three autumns.

Su Chao only remembered that he hadn't seen Lin Zhimeng for fourteen hours—when he came out in the morning, Lin Zhimeng was still sleeping in with Su Su.

"Ah, haha, I forgot. You performed exceptionally well. What's most admirable is your relaxed demeanor. Are all debuted artists more relaxed than ordinary kids?"

Chang Li didn't understand why Qi Shilong and Cui Xinqin were walking with Su Chao.

But it's obvious that it's not a good thing.

She quickly racked her brains for a solution, trying to figure out how to increase her stakes.

Classes are held at your own pace.

This had already been decided long ago, and she even went to the school leaders to explain the pros and cons.

Unfortunately, the department head, Huang Dingyu, opposed the idea.

Chang Li knew that if Su Chao couldn't accept the condition of free classes, he would definitely turn to the Beijing Film Academy.

However, given the current situation, free-form classes are simply not enough.

Qi Shilong is the department head.

With him personally involved, taking classes independently is definitely not a problem.

I've been accepted into a graduate program!

Chang Li recruits three master's students in art studies each year.

One of them is a recommendation for admission without examination.

She can give this recommendation qualification to Su Chao directly when he gets into one of the top three universities.

In this way, Su Chao can obtain a Master of Arts degree in just five years.

Qi Shilong couldn't possibly prevent Su Chao from contacting Chang Li.

If he knows about Su Chao's existence, then Chang Li certainly does too.

Moreover, Su Chao did not agree to let them go to Beijing Film Academy.

His response was that he would not interfere with which school the students went to, and would even make reasonable plans to help more students get into university.

Therefore, Qi Shilong and Cui Xinqin left quickly.

Chang Li also told her companion.

Then they went to a coffee shop together.

It's impossible to stand on the roadside and chat.

Chang Li didn't ask Su Chao and Qi Shilong what they had talked about. She decisively threw out the sugar-coated bullet of being recommended for postgraduate studies, and also said that this postgraduate student could attend classes freely.

It was a very effective treatment.

That's all the school can give Su Chao.

Su Chao didn't care about awards or class officer positions at all.

For Su Chao at this stage, what he values ​​is nothing more than freedom, future prospects, and convenience.

Freedom means I can go to class whenever I want. As long as I pass the exams, I'll get my degree certificate and graduation certificate.

Whether or not they need it, for students, the best indicator of their future prospects is probably being recommended for postgraduate studies. Having a master's degree is definitely better than having an undergraduate degree.

In ordinary companies, for the same position, a master's degree holder will generally receive a higher starting salary and will be promoted faster than a bachelor's degree holder; this is simply unavoidable.

How can the education industry develop if it cannot create a gap?

As for convenience, the Central Academy of Drama will definitely bring Su Chao a lot of convenience.

Putting aside other things, there's Su Chao's vocational school.

If Su Chao needs a few associate professor-level positions, the Central Academy of Drama can solve that for him in no time.

There are many similar cases.

You can think of the Central Academy of Drama as a state-owned enterprise, a rather strong one at that.

"Actually, I was just having dinner with Professor Qi and Professor Cui. I didn't plan to go to Beijing Film Academy or pursue a master's degree there. You really don't need to be so polite."

Su Chao got the benefit but still acted innocent.

"I felt you should need it, so I decided to give it to you. You are destined for great things, and your future achievements are immeasurable. The Central Academy of Drama naturally wants to provide more support for outstanding students."

Chang Li knows how to persuade students.

She was known as the "female devil of the Central Academy of Drama" because of her strict teaching style. However, a truly good teacher can never educate students solely through strictness.

Communication is the most important thing.

“You flatter me too much. If I am able to become your graduate student, it will be because my grades are good enough, not because I need to.”

Su Chao continued with polite words.

The two had a fairly pleasant chat. After finishing their business, they also talked about the outstanding students who emerged from this preliminary test.

Many of them are Su Chao's students.

Su Chao also took the opportunity to say that he would not interfere with the Dream Home students' choice of school.

Moreover, he explicitly stated that he had made the same promise to Qi Shilong.

He just casually set up a training course.

I have no intention of influencing the admissions process of the three major universities—such a thing sounds absurd and dangerous.

It's almost like a rebellion.

If he really did that, Zhang Heping wouldn't be able to protect him.

Su Chao even talked about which schools his outstanding students had applied to.

For example, Zhang Ziyi, Yuan Quan, Qin Hailu, Zhang Tong and others applied to the Central Academy of Drama, Chen Kun, Guo Xiaodong, Yan Danchen, Zu Feng and others chose the Beijing Film Academy, while Li Jie, Hao Lei and others chose the Shanghai Theatre Academy.

Chang Li did the math and found that the Central Academy of Drama did indeed have more and better students.

My mind immediately felt balanced.

Moreover, she didn't want Su Chao to recruit students for the Central Academy of Drama; it was really unnecessary.

She chose to invite Su Chao to the Beijing Film Academy not so that Su Chao would help break the rules, but to prevent the Beijing Film Academy from using Su Chao to break the rules.

Su Chao bids farewell to Chang Li and returns.

Chen Jiantian gave him a phone call, and the two met at the Hongxing Production Cooperative.

"I have a few things to say, and then I'll be leaving."

Chen Jiantian is not only bald, but he also has dark circles under his eyes, making him look quite comical.

"Brother, there's no need to push yourself so hard."

Su Chao felt a little bad; he hoped this guy wouldn't work himself to death.

The Red Star Production Cooperative still needs you to work like a slave; it's not my turn to take over yet.

"I know, but it's so exciting to work hard like this. Don't try to persuade me anymore. I'm really leaving now."

Chen Jiantian mainly talked about a few things.

One was that "My Fair Princess" contacted a publishing house, and they agreed to help publish it.

The results weren't supposed to be out so quickly.

However, Su Chao's album sold extremely well in Taiwan.

Singers publishing books is a huge gimmick in itself, so there's no need to worry about sales.

Who can refuse a deal that's practically giving away money?

The second point is that we hope Su Chao can promote the album in Hong Kong and Taiwan, which are also major markets. This time, the album is expected to be a hit in all regions.

If possible, you could even go to Japan once.

Use your good looks and singing voice to conquer the Japanese devils.

Bangbang is also an option; their music market is very developed.

It's not just their songs that are allowed to influence the mainland.

Songs from mainland China can also win them over.

Su Chao's new album is selling well in Japan and Singapore.

The third is the awards ceremony.

Although the first album's sales were not as high as the second, it was definitely a blockbuster for a newcomer's debut album.

And there are so many good songs.

How could there be no awards to celebrate the victory?
