Chapter 1210: Changes in Yang Ming's Status
In fact, the thought of being cheated only flashed in Yang Ming's mind, even if he didn't mention the master-apprentice relationship between him and the old dean, he was also a student who came out of the academy.
As a model of success, Yang Ming's name is bound to be worshipped by the younger students below, and is mentioned by the academy from time to time as a role model.
This is the norm in the world of education.
Nowadays, whenever a university celebrates, invitations are sent out from all over the world to invite those students who have graduated from their own schools to come back and add glory to the school celebration.
The more famous and successful the students who are invited back, the more dignified the school that holds the celebration.
In the new century, such a phenomenon is becoming more and more common among universities.
In fact, for Yenching Film Academy, it is nothing to invite successful people from the school to attend the ceremony.
What does a film school do?
This is one of the colleges and universities known as the star-making base in the entertainment industry.
Many well-known directors and actors in the domestic entertainment industry are from Yenching Film Academy, and it is not difficult to hold a school celebration and let these students come back to cheer, and even the scene of the school celebration can be comparable to the star lineup attending the Golden Dragon Award ceremony.
However, Yang Ming's significance to Yenching Film Academy is very unique compared to others.
The old dean heard that Yang Ming was willing to give 5 million yuan a year to set up a fund for Yenching Film Academy to support the students to realize their ideals.
His face covered with ravines suddenly turned red, his smile was dense, and he chatted with Yang Ming a lot of things in a happy mood.
This also made Yang Ming probably guess why the old dean would want him to fund a long-term support fund for students at Yenching Film Academy.
It's all forced by peers.
There is no shortage of celebrities at the Yenching Film Academy, nor is there a shortage of big names, but it lacks the kind of real rich people.
Don't look at the appearance fees or film and television salaries of many celebrities in the entertainment industry, which have repeatedly broken new highs, but their expenses are also very large.
If you want to maintain a glamorous image in front of the public, whether it is the operation of a professional team or the building of your own image, it requires a lot of expenditure.
Although the older generation of celebrities has been popular for decades, in the era when they were at their peak, the treatment of celebrities at that time was a world of difference compared with now.
It can be said that Yenching Film Academy is not short of fame, but it lacks profit.
Although many successful students have donated money and goods to their alma mater over the years, this is a one-shot deal.
The old dean didn't care about these at first, but with the development of the film industry in recent years, the employment situation faced by the students graduating from the college is becoming more and more severe.
But not right now.
The more invested the film crew is, the less likely it is to ask for these newcomers who have no experience at all.
Therefore, the old dean moved the idea of setting up a support fund in the college.
No matter how small the film is, as long as the project is established, but it must be in all kinds of ways and people from all walks of life will use it, then the students of all departments of the college will have a direct opportunity to practice.
When he first thought of this plan, he never found the source of the fund.
This is not a one-shot deal, but a long-term investment, basically no return, in this case, the old dean tried to test through various channels, but did not realize the plan in his heart.
During this period, although he asked for a little financial support from the government, it was completely a drop in the bucket, and he still had less meat and more wolves.
The domestic art theater chain is not the only one of the Yenching Film Academy.
For this reason, the old dean almost didn't scratch his hair, who let the students who came out of the Yenching Film Academy almost not have a successful person who has made a name for himself in the business world? The academy is not short of fame, and the directors and actors at the Golden Dragon Award level are a handful, but let the family spend 5 million yuan on the academy every year, even the old dean is embarrassed.
Don't look at the actors' high salaries now, but they eat all youth rice, and the old dean is also an industry insider, so he didn't open this mouth at all.
In the past two years, whenever he sees the news that his alma mater donated tens of millions of funds to run a school, he is very envious, why is there no such student in his own college!
There's no way, Yenching Film Academy is just an art school after all.
It is not comparable to comprehensive universities such as Yenching University and Mizuki University.
Every year, many students from these prestigious universities start their own businesses while in school, and the myth of getting rich overnight is not just accidental.
However, when Yang Ming's entrepreneurial myth spread throughout China in the past two years, the old dean's eyes suddenly lit up, and the light was on fire, this kid was simply a demon.
According to the authoritative assessment outside, Yang Ming's various assets together are almost close to 100 billion yuan, and it only took him less than five years, which is faster than grabbing money.
"Hehe, to be honest, I only looked at you differently because of your talent, but I really didn't expect you kid to be so bewitching, so that our film academy has produced a student who is comparable to the top elite students of the two university business schools of Yan University and Mizuki, and the next time I go to the Ministry of Education for a meeting, I see what kind of face those old guys still have to say that our academy is like a play in the past. The old dean said that he was like a child, with an atmospheric look on his face.
In the eyes of Yang Ming and several college executives, they couldn't laugh or cry.
Yanjing is the capital of China, and in the famous schools in Yanjing, you can't count a slap, and the competition is naturally fierce.
To be honest, although Yenching Film Academy has a high status in the film industry, it is insignificant in the education world.
Seeing that the old dean attached so much importance to this fund plan, Yang Ming couldn't help but say: "Dean, will this 5 million yuan a year be too little? How about 10 million?"
He opened his mouth to double the number, not on a whim, but after some deliberation.
It can be said that it is difficult to make a profit by setting up a fund at the alma mater to support students to make films.
Unless there are particularly excellent film works, it is estimated that most of the films made will be difficult to get released in commercial theaters.
Regardless of the picture of the film or the rhythm of the film, it is definitely not comparable to commercial films, even if there are teachers to help students control, there are still many loopholes.
But Yang Ming has an art theater!
He spent a lot of money on the Art Garden Cinema Line to renovate and redecorate, and according to his plan, the scale of the Art Garden Cinema Line will definitely be further expanded.
Then, as long as the academy does make excellent films, Yang Ming will naturally not refuse to be released in the Art Garden Theater.
If the film is released and gets good results, then the subsequent copyright income will be very considerable.
As an investor in this fund, Yang Ming naturally belongs to him all the income derived from copyright.
He doesn't really value this benefit.
But I understand that for the school, I definitely don't want to see him throw 10 million yuan every year to come in and make a difference, and if he really wants to get nothing, the face of the college is also gloomy.
In business, Yang Ming has nothing to be embarrassed about.
When Yang Ming said this, the old dean didn't react, and the breath of several other academy executives couldn't help but become short, and they looked at the old dean expectantly, hoping that they could replace the old dean at this moment and immediately agree.
10 million Chinese dollars!
Truth be told, the money isn't worth mentioning to Yenching Film Academy.
But if this money is extra, and every year there will be this 10 million to support the college's film and television shooting, then this is undoubtedly a windfall, and they will not be tempted.
The most important thing is that once a student's film is successful, it will be a good thing for Yenching Film Academy to gain fame and fortune.
How could these high-level leaders not be tempted.
However, after pondering for a while, the old dean shook his head, regardless of the disappointment on the faces of several high-level executives, and said to Yang Ming: "No need for the time being, after all, I don't know what effect this plan can achieve. ”
Hearing the old dean's words, several senior members of the academy couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
There was no rejection, but it was okay!
Yang Ming nodded when he heard this, and agreed with the old dean's opinion, he also tried this kind of support for the first time, and the specific effect will not be known until a year later.
He chatted with the old dean and a few other senior members of the academy for a while, and then left.
Looking at Yang Ming's departing figure, the old dean did not turn his head to look at several high-level members of the academy, but still looked at the direction of Yang Ming's departure, showed a meaningful smile, and said leisurely: "How is it? Yang Ming is not the kind of person who doesn't know how to repay his kindness, now you are satisfied, right?"
When several senior leaders of the academy heard this, they all showed a trace of embarrassment on their faces.
They thought of the previous awarding of Yang Ming's degree to allow the controversial student at the school to graduate normally, which caused a dispute between the top management.
To be honest, according to the rules of the school, it is impossible for Yang Ming to get a graduation certificate.
It's not that Yang Ming didn't pass the exam.
On the contrary, perhaps because of the benefits brought by the crossing, Yang Ming's memory in this life is extremely strong, and it can be said that he will never forget it, and he is very good in every exam score of the academy.
But his time at the college is too short, and most of the time he spends most of his semester on leave.
For such students, it is also in line with the rules that the college does not allow them to graduate.
But the old dean obviously did not want to see this result.
It's not that he used his power for personal gain, or disregarded the teaching rules of the academy because he valued Yang Ming.
But with Yang Ming's talent and achievements, it really can't be compared with ordinary students.
He is a genius, an incomparable genius, in the nearly 100 years since the establishment of Yenching Film Academy, the old dean has never seen a student who can be compared to Yang Ming in talent.
The college has achieved extraordinary results for so many years, and now many of them are already highly respected seniors in the industry.
But in the eyes of the old dean, even these people cannot be compared with Yang Ming in terms of talent and talent.
If it's just talent, Yang Ming is not enough to make the old dean value it so much, and he is not uncommon for so many years of genius.
And in the entertainment industry, the title of genius is always the most unreliable.
became famous overnight, and then quickly degenerated, and disappeared from everyone.
The example of the fall of genius, the old dean has seen too many over the years.
But Yang Ming is different.
He has gone from being a genius to a success.
Perhaps success can no longer describe Yang Ming's achievements, especially Yang Ming's position in the film industry is becoming more and more important, and it may not be long before he will become a figure in the history of the Chinese film industry that can be compared with several giants.
This is the current Yang Ming.
Instead of the talented and talented young students of four years ago.
Therefore, the old dean will resist public opinion, support Yang Ming so much, and even regard Yang Ming as the signboard of Yenching Film Academy, every time there is a meeting in the circle, when many big-name seniors gather together, he will always say a few kind words for Yang Ming.
Because Yang Ming's achievements are worth it.
Now it seems that he made the right decision.
The graduation ceremony of the Yenching Film Academy is over, and perhaps for the students, a new chapter will be turned today, but when a student posted the video of Yang Ming's speech in the academy auditorium on the Internet, it quickly caused widespread dissemination.
Many media also followed up with reports, pushing the effect of Yang Ming's graduation speech to the top.
In his speech, he adopted a positive attitude towards the brutal competition in his future career, which won the approval of countless celebrities, including the CEOs of well-known Chinese companies, all of whom are heavyweights in the Chinese business community.
Now the impact and impact of praising a young man's college graduation speech at the same time can be imagined.
In addition, Yang Ming's speech on the pursuit of ideals also resonated with countless people.
All of a sudden, his speech today became the focus of major media reports, and his personal popularity soared.
Yang Ming didn't expect such a situation to happen, but think about it.
The core of his speech today, but the classic content that Qiao Gang Master God was invited to give a speech at a university, plus some news he saw in his previous life, took it and processed it into his speech today.
The impact of such a classic speech gathered together can be imagined.
However, he didn't take it to heart.
As soon as Yang Ming returned to the company, he called Liu Xinsheng over, and there was less than half a month before the release of "Fast and Furious", and all kinds of publicity had reached the last moment.
He didn't want anything to go wrong.
"It's been going according to plan, fortunately with the participation of advertisers, otherwise we may really fall behind in publicity this time, I really didn't expect that Victory Pictures would be so crazy with a new boss!" Liu Xinsheng said with a happy face.
Yang Ming nodded when he heard this, although Shengli Pictures was in a hurry for a while because of the negative news exposed before, it quickly adjusted, and the publicity immediately kept up with the rhythm of "Fast and Furious".
It's completely a posture of going to the end with Oriental DreamWorks.
That Zhao Jianfeng is a kind guy on the surface, but when it comes to the company's competition, he is so ruthless.
Yang Ming did not expect that the other party would still fight to the end knowing that the situation was unfavorable to Shengli Pictures, no matter what the result was, he admired the opponent's determination very much.
Moreover, the strength displayed by the Zhao family also made Yang Ming vigilant.
This is definitely a business giant, not comparable to the few opponents I have encountered before.
If it weren't for this time, his brain would have turned quickly, thinking of the classic movie marketing methods he had cooperated with advertisers in his previous life, this time, at least in terms of publicity, he would really be overpowered by Victory Pictures.
However, this is also very costly.
Thinking of the advertising budget that was like flowing water, Yang Ming felt heartache.
It's all real money.
Just when Yang Ming was pondering, Liu Xinsheng suddenly said: "Yang Ming, that Xiao Bufan really wants to make a fuss at the box office, I got the news that the other party is very likely to want to make some moves at the box office on the first day, not only to win the start, but also to overpower your new film." ”
