Shadow of Chinese Entertainment

Chapter 31 Meeting
Nortel, which was forced to wear the crown, was holding an internal meeting at this time.

Principal Zhang, who had just taken office for half a year, said expressionlessly, "Let me just say a few words. I'm sure everyone already knows about the top scorer in the college entrance examination.

We invite everyone here to brainstorm. Feel free to share any ideas you have. Okay, who goes first? "

Everyone was silent, and some people secretly spat in their hearts: Usually your simple words are never this short!

Seeing that no one answered, Principal Zhang couldn't help but look at Tian Zhuangzhuang, the tutor and director of the Directing Department.

Tian Zhuangzhuang knew that he couldn't avoid this, but he didn't expect the storm to come so soon.

He was a little confused and could only ask instinctively, "Is it possible that he filled in the wrong application? For example, he filled in Beijing Film Academy instead of Peking University..."

Before he could finish his words, Tian Zhuangzhuang felt the slightly contemptuous looks from everyone.

Principal Zhang's expression remained unchanged as he said indifferently, "This may... be ignored."

He paused, then added, "I've already called the principal of Jiangda High School. This is the personal opinion of Hu Xiaobei, the top scorer in the college entrance examination, and he doesn't want to change his choice."

Tian Zhuangzhuang's eyes lit up, and he thought to himself that great minds think alike. Didn't the principal ask the same question? It showed that what he said just now was correct.

He puffed out his chest and said seriously, "If that's the case, then we'll just admit him! It's just that he hasn't taken the art exam..."

Principal Zhang glanced at him meaningfully and interrupted, "What art exam? We at Beijing Film Academy don't have any requirements for art exams.

As for admission, I was fortunate enough to be chosen by the top student of Beijing Film Academy, so of course I would be admitted.

I mean…how can we effectively respond to the questions raised by other schools, the media, and the public at large?”

The conference room fell silent again. After a moment, a senior professor pushed his glasses and cleared his throat to break the deadlock: "I think we should first highlight the professional advantages of our school.

Our Beijing Film Academy has been deeply engaged in the field of film and television art for many years, and has a profound foundation and unique teaching system.

From directing, acting to photography and other majors, the top talents cultivated by this school support most of the film and television industry, which is not something that other famous schools can easily match.

We can compile detailed information, either in a brochure or published on our official website, to explain to the outside world how we can provide a unique path for cultivating talented individuals and shaping their professional development."

Principal Zhang nodded slightly, and the director of the admissions office took over the conversation: "We have to take the initiative with the media and can't wait to be questioned.

We will prepare a press conference as soon as possible and invite well-known alumni in the industry to speak on the stage, such as directors and movie stars who have won international awards, to use their personal experiences and achievements to demonstrate the broad stage that Beijing Film Academy can provide to students.

In addition, in terms of training the top student, the directing department should come up with relevant plans and mobilize relationships and conditions to train the top student as much as possible under reasonable circumstances.

Everyone should remember that it is not enough to just recruit this top student. If he fails to achieve any results in the future, we will all be nailed to the rack of shame.

Finally, at the press conference, we emphasized that we admitted Hu Xiaobei based on his love for film and television arts and his own plans, respecting his personal ambitions and being in line with the school's educational purpose.

We will do our utmost to cultivate talents for the country and the people."

Tian Zhuangzhuang scratched his head and added, "For the student group, we can add special activities on campus open day to showcase the directing courses, practical projects, and equipment resources that Hu Xiaobei may be studying.

We can also invite the media to visit and experience it, so that everyone can see the practical teaching materials and professionalism of Beijing Film Academy in film and television."

Principal Zhang pondered for a moment and said, "These are all good ideas. We can integrate them and implement them in three steps.

The first step is to prepare the promotional materials within the next two days.

The second step is to prepare the press conference within a week, hand over the alumni liaison work to the External Relations Department, and be sure to invite important guests.

The third step is to set a time for the campus open day, and all departments work together to present the best side.

Although this "crown" came suddenly, as long as we deal with it properly, we can turn the crisis into opportunity and make the professional brand of Beijing Film Academy shine even brighter.

From now on, the Central Academy of Drama and the Shanghai Theatre Academy will be inferior to us. Hmm… that’s it, everyone, take action!

Everyone nodded, and the atmosphere in the conference room gradually shifted from solemn to bustling with energy. But before they could put their energy into action, the security guard at the school gate trotted over to report the situation.

At this time, a large number of reporters had gathered at the gate of Beijing Film Academy.

Principal Zhang's heart skipped a beat, but he quickly calmed himself down, took a deep breath, and walked to the school gate with the Dean of the Directing Department and the Director of the Admissions Office.

Reporters from all walks of life swarmed in at the school gate, and for a moment, the atmosphere seemed a little tense.

A senior media person took the initiative to challenge the school, standing up and asking a pointed question: "Beijing Film Academy used to admit students with outstanding artistic expertise, but their scores in academic subjects varied.

Is it just a way to attract attention and publicity to boost the school's reputation, rather than genuinely valuing students' artistic development, that they're recruiting the top scorer in the national college entrance examination?

Principal Zhang glanced at the other party's sign and cursed MLGB in his heart, saying that he couldn't afford to offend this person, but his face showed no color at all.

He looked calm and composed, and calmly pushed the microphone that was about to hit his mouth slightly away, and responded seriously: "Absolutely not! Beijing Film Academy has always adhered to its original aspirations in art and has been focused on discovering and carving rough gems since its establishment.

Moreover, this time it was Hu Xiaobei who took the initiative to choose our Beijing Film Academy, which was due to his sincere love for film and television and his clear career plan.

Of course, it is precisely this passion that we value. We feel a great sense of responsibility, and the school will tailor a training program for him.

It includes intensive training in the core courses of the directing department, opportunities for face-to-face communication with masters, and he will be sent to various professional crews for training and study, just to better consolidate his professional qualities. "

Another reporter put the microphone close to his lips and pressed the issue, "But there are strong voices of doubt from the outside world. Some think that top scorers in the college entrance examination should pursue academic research and attend traditional prestigious universities.

I would like to ask, what can schools like Beijing Film Academy do to ensure that he can fully realize his potential here and not waste this top talent?"

What is a school like Beijing Film Academy?

What kind of school?

Why is our Beijing Film Academy not up to par?
Are we at Beijing Film Academy eating your rice?

Principal Zhang was cursing in his heart but didn't dare to say it out loud.

He glanced at the reporter's name again. Well, he couldn't afford to offend him. He could only keep a calm expression and try to calm down.

At this time, Tian Zhuangzhuang, a well-known alumnus, well-known director and head of the directing department, who was standing next to him, came to the rescue and took over the conversation.

"I graduated from Beijing Film Academy. I entered the school with a pure mind and passion. The school provided me with a solid foundation of theory and practice, and I worked my way up from the set to directing.

Beijing Film Academy will provide the greatest assistance in the training of Hu Xiaobei. We have top-notch studios and post-production rooms on campus, as well as a team of tutors to provide guidance throughout the process.

If Hu Xiaobei wants to make a movie in the future, we can ensure to the greatest extent possible that his artistic talent can be fully utilized, from the conception of the script to the review of the finished film, and use..."

Several reporters couldn't help but interrupt, and sporadic voices came out, such as: "Who are you? Are you famous? Use yourself as an example!"

Tian Zhuangzhuang: "..."

Principal Zhang recovered his breath and added, "We at the Beijing Film Academy have renowned directors both domestically and internationally, as well as numerous renowned film and television talents. Please rest assured regarding our training."

Facing the reporters' skeptical and scrutinizing gazes, the admissions director added a promise: "We will regularly disclose Hu Xiaobei's academic progress and work achievements every year, accept supervision from all walks of life, and welcome the media to continue to follow up and report.

Beijing Film Academy has the confidence and ability to help him grow into a pillar of the film and television industry. We will respond to the doubts with concrete actions and live up to everyone's expectations."

"Really? I don't believe it..." A reporter suddenly raised a question, which attracted more questions from other reporters.

If this happened under normal circumstances, with the tempers of the school leaders, they would have given up long ago. Believe it or not, it's as if someone is begging you to believe it.

However, the enemy is now so powerful that everyone can only compromise and deal with the reporters' challenges in a friendly manner.
