The richest person in Chinese entertainment

Chapter 156: The National University War for Population

On January 2002, 1, China officially joined the WTO.

On the same day, the fourth solo album "I am" by Ayumi Hamasaki, a new and popular female singer in Japan, was released, and it won the first place in the Oricon sales chart in Japan on the same day.

"Zhang Chen, you've topped Japan's Oricon charts several times, but why haven't I seen you go to Japan to hold a fan meeting?"

In the Chenguang Recording Studio, Zhang Chen, who had just finished a full month of recording for his new album, was making the final adjustments with Zhang Yadong.

"Do you think I have time? Besides, I only know a few words of Japanese, what am I going to do there?"

"Just know a few words like Anihasayo."

"That's Korean, you poor student."

"Speaking of studying, have you decided which school you're going to? I heard that the schools in the capital are almost fighting over which university you're going to get into."

"University"

Zhang Chen couldn't help but think of some things that happened a few days ago.

With the wealth he has now, it won't be a problem for him to enter a top university abroad.

Even in China, it is a bit doubtful whether Zhang Chen can get into any university he wants, but there are other ways.

But the most important thing is what major to study, and Zhang Chen’s own wishes have changed again and again.

Before becoming famous, Zhang Chen wanted to enter several major art schools to accumulate more connections for himself in the entertainment industry.

But after becoming famous, if Zhang Chen entered an art school, he would become the biggest network of teachers and students, and from that time on, he should shift his focus towards management.

However, last year's "West Lake Sword Contest" gave Mr. Jin a push, and Zhang Chen got to play the leading role in three TV series at once, which made him take another step towards becoming an actor.

Several colleges and universities that heard the news immediately found Yin Zilan and wanted to discuss admission matters with Zhang Chen in person.

Zhang Chen heard that several schools had clashed with several major music schools a few days ago and had a big fight over it.

After the quarrel, the parties agreed to meet Zhang Chen to have a face-to-face talk today.

"I'm going home first. To be honest, I haven't made up my mind yet. I still need to listen to their opinions."

Zhang Chen dropped the work in his hands, stood up and went home.

At 4 p.m., in the reception room of Zhang's residence near the Forbidden City in Beijing

At this time, the presidents of several top art schools in the capital and even the country gathered here.

After Zhang Chen pushed the door open, he saw them sitting in their seats with red faces. He thought of the quarrel he faintly heard before he came in. He thought they must have had another quarrel before he came.

"Dear elders, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

Zhang Chen apologized before taking his seat. After all, he was considered a junior, and it was somewhat impolite to make the elders wait for him.

But he has been really busy recently, and these people came to visit him on their own initiative, so Zhang Chen could only find time to meet them.

"It won't be long before you start to mind your own business, Zhang Chen. Why bother with these old guys? Just keep on pursuing your music career!"

The speaker was Principal Wang of the Central Conservatory of Music.

In Principal Wang's opinion, since Zhang Chen is currently studying at the Affiliated High School of the Central Conservatory of Music and has been engaged in a music-related career, he should enter the Central Conservatory of Music in college. Other universities are trying to poach his students.

"What Principal Wang said is both right and wrong. Zhang Chen's career cannot be abandoned, but it cannot stop him from learning more knowledge."

Wang Fengsheng, president of Capital Film Academy, when he heard that Chenguang Entertainment was going to start filming a Jin Yong drama and there was news that Zhang Chen would also star in it, his first reaction was to recruit this big star to his school.

If Zhang Chen can join Beijing Film Academy, then this year's enrollment may attract most of the domestic students to Beijing Film Academy.

"I also think what Principal Wang Fengsheng said is right. Zhang Chen is going to film a TV series now, so he has to learn acting. The advantage of our Central Academy of Drama is that we can train excellent actors. It will be a good idea for him to come to our school."

"Speaking of acting majors, we're not bad at acting."

"What's the point of not performing? Zhang Chen has been developing his music career for so many years, how can he just give up? I think Zhang Chen should continue to study music in college, and our Zhongyang University for Nationalities is always open to him."

"Your Zhang Chen studies pop music, why would he go to your Minzu University? I think Zhang Chen should come to our Huaguo Conservatory of Music for further studies, to learn more about the 'cradle of Chinese musicians'."

From the moment Zhang Chen entered the reception room, a dozen highly respected principals present started a fierce confrontation.

While denouncing the other party, he also did not forget to introduce the advantages of his own school.

After half an hour, the entire scene was clearly divided into two factions: the music faction and the performance faction.

The two sides had clear differences and started arguing about what Zhang Chen should study in college.

"Everyone, elders, please have some tea first, or would you like to hear my thoughts?"

Zhang Chen was annoyed by their noise, and when he saw that some of them were about to start a fight, he quickly spoke up to stop them.

"Zhang Chen, we are also thinking about you. After listening to so much, just tell me what you think." Principal Wang of CAFU regarded himself as a family member at the scene, and other people at the scene also felt guilty in front of him, so most of the time he represented the principals to communicate with Zhang Chen.

"Actually, before last year, I considered taking a management or finance major. After all, I have a lot of people waiting for me to feed them, and..."

"Besides, I made a little money last month, so I'm worried about how to invest so as not to waste this cash, so I'm also considering finance." Zhang Chen felt the need to calm everyone down first. Don't you think I'm going to a music school or a performance school? Are there any schools with management and finance majors?
"Well, Zhang Chen, whatever major you want to study, our school has it."

When the other presidents didn't know how to start the conversation after hearing Zhang Chen's answer, the president of Zhejiang University spoke up.

As the top domestic university with the largest campus and the most extensive range of disciplines, Zhejiang University does have the strength to say this.

"After coming to our school, if you want to learn about finance, you can go to the School of Economics. If you want to learn management, you can go to the School of Management. We also have the School of Media and the School of Foreign Languages. If you want to release songs in other languages in the future, you have to learn a language well in advance."

Special recruitment is unfair to others? Look at who it is.

Zhang Chen was specially recruited into Zhejiang University, and he believed that no bastard would dare to say a bad word about him.

"Uh, Principal Pan, please listen to me."

"You said."

“As I said just now, this was my thought before last year.

But last year, I'm sure you all heard that I was going to act in a TV series."

Several principals nodded, otherwise they would not have gathered here.

"I need to learn some martial arts to act in these TV series, so I can't possibly ask a few more martial arts schools to come here, right?"

"I thought about it carefully before coming here. Chenguang Entertainment will develop in the direction of film and television dramas starting this year, so I need to learn more relevant knowledge, so."

"That's right! Hahahaha, come to our Beijing Film Academy!"

"The Central Academy of Drama also has what you want to learn."

"It's okay to go on stage."

Before Zhang Chen finished speaking, several university presidents who had performance or film and television related majors were delighted and invited Zhang Chen to their universities.

"In addition," Zhang Chen raised his voice, trying to quiet them down.

"Also, considering the distance, my company is also in the capital."

The show went on and sat back down.

“I also heard that freshmen at the Central Academy of Drama cannot take acting jobs.”

"It's okay, I will change the school rules when I get back!" The principal of the Central Academy of Drama waved his hand, indicating that he was determined to go all out.

"Okay, stop struggling. Didn't you hear that Zhang Chen has made a decision?"

Wang Fengsheng pushed the others aside, walked to Zhang Chen, and smiled proudly at them: "Everyone, Zhang Chen has a Grammy, I will ask him to win a few more Best Actor trophies for us."

“Does Beijing Film Academy have the top three best actor and actress in Europe? Our Central Academy of Drama is the cradle of best actor and actress!”

The principal of the Central Academy of Drama was very unwilling to accept this. He even wanted to bring out the person who made that school rule and question him.

"That's because we didn't put enough effort in the past! Besides, Zhang Chen wants to learn about film and television dramas. I want to ask you which one of you can compare with our Beijing Film Academy."

After Wang Fengsheng said this, the other principals all stopped talking.

In terms of directing, screenwriting, animation and other majors, if Beijing Film Academy says it’s second, no one dares to say it’s first.

If he continues to fight, Wang Fengsheng will have to leave behind big names in the film and television industry such as Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige.

"Principal Wang, I'm sorry to disappoint you."

The Principal Wang that Zhang Chen mentioned is the principal of the Central Conservatory of Music. After all, logically speaking, he should indeed enter the Central Conservatory of Music.

"It's okay. You've won 12 Grammys. If you really come to our school, no one would dare to teach you, the world pop king. It would be better for you to learn more other knowledge." Principal Wang smiled indifferently, patted Zhang Chen on the shoulder, and his words were full of encouragement.

"I dare not call myself the king of the world in front of you. I still need to go to the Central Conservatory of Music to take classes when I have time. I hope the principal will not kick me out when the time comes."

"Hahahaha, you are always welcome to come to school. The door of CAMU is always open for you!"

The battle for talent among several major universities finally came to an end at 5 pm.

Zhang Chen opened the door of the reception room exhausted, intending to see off the principals.

"Ouch!"

The moment the door opened, an eavesdropping thief fell in.

"Huh? What are you doing outside?" Zhang Chen supported Liu Yifei who almost fell to the ground.

"This is Yifei, right?" asked Wang Fengsheng who was following Zhang Chen.

"I want to go to Beijing Film Academy too!" Liu Yifei looked around the room full of principals. After Wang Fengsheng spoke, she recognized that it was the voice of the principal of Beijing Film Academy that she had just remembered.

　The year 02 arrived. After much hesitation, I decided that it would be better for the protagonist to enter Beijing Film Academy. In order to make it more reasonable for the protagonist to enter Beijing Film Academy, I racked my brains.

　　I would have just passed it over if I had known this, but I'm afraid you'll criticize me, so I'll still lay out some logical groundwork.
