Chapter 157: Deep Water (1)
Lin Xiao was stunned, it was the first time he had received such a harsh comment, and he had completely denied it, the key thing was that Wang Guohui guessed his idea very accurately.
Wang Guohui patted the paper next to him that was almost one decimeter high, "These are the school-running ideas of film and television schools, and they all want to be recognized by the Ministry of Film and Television and then apply to the Ministry of Education." Kobayashi ...... You are not the only genius in China, there are many advanced methods, abundant funds, and even several old professors from the three major universities have been moved. But...... They still can't leave. β
"Do you know why?" He looked at Lin Xiao deeply and asked.
"Please also ask Minister Wang for advice." Lin Xiao said sincerely.
"Originally, it was changed to other artists, but I didn't bother to tell them. Why do I say to you? Wang Guohui said solemnly, "First, Li Kebao, that time, you made us very satisfied. Second, you have made great strides in the past few years, but your foundation is very stable, and it may not be impossible for you to become the first male artist in China to win an international award, which is the pride of the Guangzhou Film Department and even the entire Chinese film and television industry. Third, I have seen your press conference, and I was deeply touched by the words that I brought in. β
"I'll tell you as concise as I can. Do you want to contribute, or to put it bluntly, you have seen a lot outside, realized all the shortcomings of China's film and television industry, and are heartbroken? The idea is good, but don't we know this? It's not that I don't know, but I can't move! Reform film and television, the country does not dare to say so. β
"Do you want to start with the next generation? This is the opposite of the three major schools. I guess, you must have invited Zhao Wei, Zhou Xun and others to come over to teach. Even Feng Xiaogang will promise you, but you have overlooked one thing, that is, seniority! β
"Is Ms. Song Zuying's status high enough in the world? Are there enough concerts around the world? But, do you know how much she teaches per class? β
Lin Xiao shook his head.
Wang Guohui said: "Eight hundred." β
"But Miss Li Guyi, the teaching fee is 1,000 for one class."
"This is a matter of seniority, Miss Song will never be able to surpass Miss Li in China. Otherwise, she will be harshly criticized by the entire music world, which is a transgression and disrespect for her predecessors. And Liu Huan, who is known as the godfather of pop music, can't even compare to Miss Song, as for any idols, Hong Kong and Taiwan stars, they are not qualified to be invited to class at all. β
"Li Guyi, Feng Zhe, Wang Runsheng...... These real old qualifications, they will not be diluted by your group of newcomers, and almost all of them are named in the three major schools, which is the foundation of the three major schools! β
"Think about it, if you study music, they can go out and say, I learned from Li Guyi's predecessors, does anyone dare to say that I learned from Andy Lau? It's not a grade, the generations are completely different! β
"In your school, there is a lack of such heavyweights, Zhou Xun, Zhao Wei, you are red, so what? Someone else goes out and says it's your protΓ©gΓ©, and then the person next to you says it's Zhang Yimou's protΓ©gΓ©, which is completely different. You can surpass Zhang Yimou in terms of box office, fame, and financial resources, but without more than ten or twenty years, your qualifications in the film and television industry are difficult to compare with him. β
"If you run a school, you may have thought that you would be opposed to the three major schools, but I can guarantee that the three major schools will not care about you at all. Because your qualifications, teachers, and they are not at the same level at all. Others only need to talk about it consciously or unconsciously, such and such a school, the teachers are famous, but the lack of educational experience is enough to give you a headache, and you can't even recruit students. β
Lin Xiao listened quietly, Wang Guohui's words were like a slap in the face, which made his fiery heart sober up a lot.
"It is impossible to change the system of China's film and television industry, the best way is to start from the next generation, I think you also thought of this, and then decided to run a school, the starting point is very good, I support it. Do you have some new ideas and practices? β
Lin Xiao nodded.
"This is the outlier, the outlier in the eyes of the three major schools, they won't value you, but your existence is equivalent to fundamentally refuting their education for the next generation. You may say, why can't good things be implemented? But who proves yours is good? You can say that you have connections, and even find members of the National People's Congress, but I want to tell you that you can find one seat for the National People's Congress alone, and the three major schools can find 10 seats for the National People's Congress. β
Lin Xiao sighed, it was indeed that he thought simply, even if Qin Siyuan proposed film and television reform? The famous veterans of the three major schools, dozens or hundreds, and more than a dozen parliamentarian seats are really not boasted.
"If you want to sow your mind, you have to stand above the three major schools, so that someone will choose your school. Do you know how hard it is? It's an impossible task. Unless you become the chairman of the National People's Congress. β
"Even if you do, it's a long process, and it's harder than if you become a superstar. First of all, it is impossible to run several schools directly, and only by applying for a junior college first and then going through the review can it be promoted. The judging will be based on your faculty, campus size, student origin, achievements, and four places. Teachers, even if you are popular, but in the education sector, you are also a newcomer, fame is useless, the education sector does not recognize it, they only recognize qualifications. β
"Do you have any tutors who graduated from prestigious schools? Do you have any professors who have published papers internationally? Do you have decades of teaching experience? No, the education world doesn't care what kind of superstar you are, even if Denzel Washington comes, it's still not recognized, because they don't have teaching experience, and they still have to start from scratch. β
"Let's not talk about the campus area, since you dare to do it, then there must be a place. But what about the origins? How many students do you think will come to your school? Yes, definitely. But you have to know, what is a child in the college entrance examination? They are still nestlings, they are still under the wings of their parents, and the voluntary choice at this time is in the hands of their parents, or advice, or guidance. Are their parents big fans of yours too? β
"Their parents will only learn from the history of the founding of the school, how many celebrities have been produced, how many faculty, and how many nominal honorary professors...... and so on, so how many people do you think you can recruit for a newly established specialty? This is still the case that the three major schools do not want to suppress you, and once they are suppressed, the consequences will be unimaginable. Wang Guohui sighed, "But don't worry, you are in the education field, you really can't arouse their interest, and even honorary professors will not be awarded to you, unless you win an international award." Otherwise, if you run a school, they just think that there is an extra junior. β
"The last point, why the three major schools are standing tall is not only the above, but the most important thing is that they were founded by the government. There is no precedent in China that the government's public welfare undertakings are inferior to private ones, and this is not giving the government face. Therefore, the three major schools can't and can't fall, and it is impossible for any similar school to be above the names of Beiying, Shangju, and Zhongju, unless, you are also recruited by the government. β
"But how hard is it for the government to recruit a school? You came to our Ministry of Broadcasting and Film as the minister, and we have inspected for three years, and the government inspection period will only be longer than this, and five years is the shortest. And there are few precedents for this in China. Do you think that with a group of popular artists, you can pull the flag and rebel, and even ascend the throne as the emperor? Xiaolin, you are wrong, the affairs of the Ministry of Education are much more complicated than you think. β
After speaking, the office was silent, and after a long time, Wang Guohui asked, "Then do you still insist on showing me?" β
"Look!" Lin Xiao said firmly.
Wang Guohui smiled, "Okay, don't give up if you don't reach the Yellow River." β
He was expressionless, not angry or happy, and watched it for a full thirty minutes before he read it word by word.
"Every word." He nodded and commented, "Emphasizing hard work, light empty talk, this is the most empathetic school-running creativity I have seen for the sake of the Chinese film and television industry." β
"However, I still tell you that, this is not enough, the three major schools, the older generation of Chinese artists, is not so easy to overcome."
Lin Xiao gritted his teeth, and a warm blood rushed up in his heart.
He is still young in the end, and he can't be Wang Guohui, and Minister Jin is so happy and angry.
He couldn't figure out why he was still blocked by an invisible wall and couldn't implement it, even if he was in his current position.
"It's unwilling, isn't it? That's the reality. Wang Guohui sighed, "This is the reason why Zhang Yimou and Brother Chen Kai did not run a school...... In fact, in 2000, the two of them even jointly planned to set up a school...... It's not that you alone want to do something for the Chinese film and television industry, there are so many such people, they even co-signed more than a dozen celebrities in the film and television industry, but it's a pity...... In the end, it was not established. β
"I was shocked by what they thought at the time, but I didn't expect it...... After all these years, there is a second person who wants to do this......"
"Take it back...... Your proposal is good, perhaps...... Decades from now, when the Chinese film and television industry itself realizes that it should be reformed, your proposal will take effect......"
Lin Xiao let out a long sigh, but did not move.
"This time, I didn't succeed, but I will do everything I can to make my motherland, my career, truly shine in the world."
"The Hollywood stage, maybe we can't catch up now, but if we don't catch up, we won't be able to catch up for the rest of our lives!"
Wang Guohui didn't speak, and only said for a long time, "Your thoughts are very firm." β
Lin Xiao nodded deeply.
"It's fine." Wang Guohui smiled, picked up the teacup and took a sip, "Actually, it's not completely impossible. β
"It is impossible to surpass the three major schools, but there is a way to go through the winding paths."
He put down the teacup, looked at Lin Xiao quietly and said, "I actually didn't want to say this to you, but what you said just now is good, and the most important thing is that your identity, funds, and achievements are not without the possibility of entering this winding path." β
"Director Zhang Da didn't do it, because he is prouder than you, that is the pride in his heart, he refuses to put down his mind to the three major schools, what he wants to do is to be 'alone,' the only one, overriding the three major schools, and instilling his own film and television ideas. I can't say he's wrong because there's merit in his ideas, but I can't say he's right either, because he's too proud. β
Lin Xiao suppressed the excitement in his heart, looked at Wang Guohui and said, "Why did Minister Wang say that to me?" β
"It's simple." Wang Guohui also got serious, "The Chinese film and television industry, if it is reformed, then it will definitely be a great achievement of the Ministry of Film and Television!" Moreover, I have been in the industry for so many years, and I am afraid that I am the one who most wants to see reform! β
"But I can't do it, the people I know either don't have status, or they can't achieve, or they don't have funds, and only you, all three are in line! Most importantly, you have this heart! β
