Huayu 1995

Chapter 323 Ubiquitous (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Before the re-examination, there are two intensive training sessions, mainly for the re-examination.

Su Chao has given a half-day lecture every year.

In fact, many of these art students are talented. They may not be able to get into the top three art colleges for various reasons, but their own qualities are much better than many who start out with nothing.

Some of these people may continue to work behind the scenes in the industry in the future.

However, many people choose to attend a junior college or similar institution and gradually distance themselves from the entertainment industry.

Some might even give up on themselves and take a clerical or receptionist job.

(Qin Hailu: ?)

During his lecture, Su Chao mentioned that in the second half of the year, Dream Home Vocational and Technical College might offer some vocational education courses related to the entertainment industry.

Some positions in the entertainment industry are not offered as majors in universities.

Because the entry barrier is too low and there is no technical content involved, universities will not waste their human and material resources.

For example, lighting technicians or makeup artists.

These types of people only need a year and a half of training to start working directly on set, and they will do an exceptionally good job. They will have no problem becoming senior lighting technicians or makeup artists in the future.

In any industry, if you excel at it, you'll never lack opportunities to make money.

Su Chao hopes that these art students—mainly those who are destined to have no hope—can try to get into Dream Home Vocational Technical School.

We will offer professional courses based on the needs of the production team.

Martial arts instruction, film and television makeup and costume design, film and television logistics, film and television set design, and so on.

The program lasts one to two years and awards a nationally recognized professional certificate.

Su Chao now has some connections; his school is a legitimate private institution, and it's not a pipe dream for him to receive nationally recognized vocational and technical certificates.

Imagine a future where you can see Dream Home trainees on any film or television production.

From the actors on stage to the script supervisors behind the scenes, even the prop-carrying, brick-moving, and set-building tasks are all done by their own people. They're practically everywhere.

Anyone who dares to say a bad word about Su Chao might get beaten to a pulp on the spot.

The questions in the second round of interviews were more difficult.

That involves a lot more content.

However, this was no problem for Su Chao at all. He met several students from Dream Home and they all said they felt no pressure.

This made Su Chao feel a little guilty.

There were forty students in two classes, and not a single one failed the preliminary exam; they all passed. The previous promise of a tuition refund if the student failed the preliminary exam was no longer valid.

Even Huang Bo and Li Yu, whose appearances are hard to describe, passed the preliminary test smoothly.

What if all of these people pass the second round of interviews?

Su Chao felt that he had flapped his butterfly wings too hard.

With more students enrolling, those who were originally supposed to enroll will naturally be replaced.

Even if the three major universities expand their enrollment this year, it will still be the same.

Who knows, some of them might become big stars in the future, but they might not get into university this year.

What if I get discouraged and give up on the art exam?

Then, the entertainment industry might lose a key figure.

Fortunately, Su Chao only hesitated for a while, and he didn't feel that he needed to take any responsibility for the possible consequences.

The entertainment industry, no matter how many people are in it, will still function normally.

"I feel like I have a good chance of passing the exam!"

After finishing the exam, Huang Bo breathed a long sigh of relief and even treated everyone to barbecue.

In order to prepare for the exam, he didn't even participate in the film "Love Will Carry On".

Now that the exams are over, it's time to completely let loose and be myself.

There will be another interview later, which may be difficult for pure students who haven't entered the workforce yet, but for those who have been following Su Chao for more than half a year, it's not certain who will be interviewing whom.

"I also feel very confident!"

Guo Xiaodong sighed.

"I think I'll fail in my academic subjects. I should have studied more."

Guo Xiaofeng also went to take the exam. Among those from Su Chao's side who didn't take the exam, besides the later monks and Taoists, probably only Zhou Xun and Lü Bu did.

Oh, and Gao Yuanyuan too.

In fact, Gao Yuanyuan is currently studying at a vocational high school and can directly enter a junior college, which was considered a pretty good educational qualification in the 1990s.

She doesn't need to get another undergraduate degree.

Zhou Xun is in a similar situation to her; she is not enthusiastic about obtaining a bachelor's degree.

Su Chao also doesn't think she needs to take a formal acting route.

Some birds are born to fly, and forcibly interfering with their flight may actually hinder their soaring.

Lu Bu simply didn't have time; he was as busy as a dog right now.

The busiest person on Su Chao's side is Lü Bu.

Lu Bu has decided to give up his studies altogether. At most, he will read more books and hire private tutors to give him lessons when he has money.

"It's only April now, and it won't start until July. You only need to score 300 points to get into university. Just go to more academic tutoring classes."

Su Chao didn't think scoring 300 points was difficult.

Isn't that something anyone with hands can do?
"Principal, why don't you go to the academic tutoring classes? Are you embarrassed to attend?"

Guo Xiaodong was very curious.

"I do not need……"

Su Chao shook his head. Not only had his academic experience bar reached a high level, but he had also recently gained two points of academic attribute. Now, he felt no pressure even when scoring 600 points.

Why waste time trying to get 300 points?

"As expected of the principal, come on, bottoms up!"

Huang Bo trusts Su Chao unconditionally. If a good-for-nothing like him can get into the Beijing Film Academy, Su Chao would be happy to do so with his eyes closed.

Our principal is a true miracle worker.

In April, the sales figures for Su Chao's new album were also released.

Sales reached 174 million in the first month.

It continued to maintain a very considerable daily sales volume.

Su Chao's previous estimate of three million in sales was not an exaggeration.

With the proceeds from the second album's sales and the subsequent settlement from the first album, Su Chao suddenly received over two million yuan, instantly making him financially well-off.

We can't keep so much money in our hands.

Su Chao has decided to speed things up; investing in company stocks is unrealistic.

It would be better to do more film and television projects.

For example, the three-million-dollar production "Love Will Carry On" is expected to sell at least four or five million dollars, according to information revealed by Director He.

If other TV stations become interested, it can still be sold, but the price won't be as high.

Also, "My Sassy Girl" will be released in July.

According to Su Chao's estimate, with an investment of eight million, this movie, which is sold in mainland China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Japan, and South Korea, should make it easy for him to earn ten million.

If he completes a few more projects and saves up 30 million, he can use that money to take advantage of the Asian financial crisis and reap a huge fortune.

There's no need to worry about future development.

Whether it's dominating the entertainment industry or investing in the internet, if he really makes a fortune, he might consider acquiring IBM's computer business.

After the financial crisis, prey was everywhere.

Unfortunately, loans are harder to get approved these days, and not much can be approved, otherwise leverage could be used.

In order to raise funds, in addition to releasing a new movie in July, Su Chao will also release a new album.

It doesn't need to be better than the second one; it just needs to maintain a similar level of quality.

Su Chao has enough songs in his possession to release.

What Su Chao needs to do is to accumulate as many assets as possible before the economic crisis arrives.

Currently, Lü Bu has already begun negotiating endorsements for Su Chao. His influence across mainland China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong is in no way inferior to that of many Hong Kong and Taiwanese stars.

This has prompted many major brands that previously wouldn't even consider mainland celebrities to start getting restless.
