Chapter 335 Changes in Thinking
The words are divided into two parts.

In the morning, Wang Luyao left the Guomao Courtyard. Since it was past the time for going to work or school, she easily found a window seat on the bus.

After sitting down, she subconsciously looked out the window, her heart filled with mixed feelings and unable to calm down.

Although she had long suspected that Zhang Yan likely had other women outside, being aware of something and confirming it with one's own eyes are not the same thing, and confirming it and sleeping together in the same bed are even more different things.

This shock also made her begin to examine her own identity.

She originally thought that since she had made her way in front of Chen Hong, her interests were now aligned with Chen Hong's. That's why she first rejected Qu Ying, then Cao Ying, and even became wary of Gai Lili.

But looking back now, I'm afraid I wasn't the only one who had gone through the motions in front of Sister Hong, and Sister Hong probably didn't even care about these wildflowers and weeds.

Then all my previous efforts were in vain, and I even made a lot of enemies for no reason.
With this in mind, Wang Luyao's thoughts on this campus recruitment also changed. Originally, in order to eliminate potential problems, her idea was to try to find those who were average in appearance but had high enough dance skills.

But now...

Since Sister Hong doesn't care, why should I bother being a petty person?
She was acting somewhat out of spite, or perhaps it was a sign of giving up on herself.

And so, Wang Luyao got off the train at the station near the Beijing Dance Academy and soon met Chang Jihong at the agreed place.

Chang Jihong had some guesses about where she had gone last night, but she didn't mention it at all. Instead, she kept giving her advice on how to deal with the leaders of the Beijing Dance Academy.

Upon arriving at the Beijing Dance Academy, we were greeted by a vice principal, whose attitude was fairly mild, but who seemed somewhat dismissive when the topic of campus recruitment came up.

According to this vice principal, as the top dance school in China, the students trained by Beijing Dance Academy are meant to showcase their talents on important stages and perform for national leaders and foreign guests. How could they be allowed to work as backup dancers for private companies?

Not to mention going to commercial performances.

“We are different from the Central Academy of Drama and the Beijing Film Academy.”

The principal declared righteously, "We are cultivating artists who love dance, not mediocre people who spend their days showing their faces in public for money."

What kind of high-sounding statement is this?

Wang Luyao couldn't help but roll her eyes, thinking to herself, "Aren't there a lot of people in domestic dance troupes secretly going out to do commercial performances or even odd jobs these days? I'm afraid quite a few of them are graduates of your Beijing Dance Academy!"

Thanks to Chang Jihong's repeated instructions beforehand, she did not say these thoughts directly, but she was speechless for a moment because of it.

Chang Jihong hurriedly smiled and said, "You're right, but our Yuanmeng is different from ordinary folk song and dance troupes. Our singers participate in the Spring Festival Gala almost every year, and at least two of them perform every year."

Previously, only singers participated, but if we form our own dance troupe, we will definitely bring our own troupe to perform on the Spring Festival Gala.

Upon hearing that he could appear on the Spring Festival Gala, the vice principal finally softened up a bit. In recent years, the Spring Festival Gala has been at its most popular. As long as you can appear on the Spring Festival Gala stage, both your commercial value and reputation in the industry will increase significantly.

"How about this."

The vice principal considered for a moment and said, "Our school does not object to you recruiting recent graduates in principle, but there is no need for campus recruitment. You can promote it among the graduating classes with the help of our teachers, and then hold a recruitment fair near the school."

Although it wasn't exactly a rejection, it was far from the wonderful situation Wang Luyao had imagined. She subconsciously glanced at Chang Jihong beside her.

Chang Jihong nodded slightly to her.

Yuan Meng wanted to recruit at the three major art schools because she wanted to make her mark in the film and television industry. However, she didn't have much ambition in the dance troupe, so there was no need for her to establish a foothold at the Beijing Dance Academy.

Then Chang Jihong quietly made a hand gesture.

Wang Luyao immediately said, "Actually, if you join our Dream Realization program and have the opportunity and ideas, you can also try to act in film and television dramas part-time and become a star actor. Our Dream Realization program will also provide a series of professional training programs."

“Well…” The vice principal shook his head slightly: “I think it’s better to focus. Dance is an art that requires perseverance. It’s hard to achieve real results if you’re half-hearted.”

Chang Jihong was not surprised by his reaction.

"Those who excel in dance can become actors" is indeed a killer move to realize dreams, but it is not a killer move against the school, but against the students of Beijing Dance Academy.

The reason she had Wang Luyao say it in front of the vice principal was to make the matter clear and prevent anyone from saying that Yuanmeng was using the gimmick of becoming a star to mislead students.

Although Wang Luyao and Chang Jihong arrived without fanfare, it was only natural that she would be recognized as a top-tier singer currently enjoying great popularity in China and having been involved in a nationally renowned lawsuit.

The vice principal didn't think there was any need to keep this a secret, so the news spread throughout the school by the afternoon after the two sides met in the morning.

The students most concerned are definitely the graduating seniors. Excluding those with top-notch skills who have already been booked by large song and dance troupes, or those with connections and backgrounds, at least half of the remaining students want to give it a try.

To put it bluntly, the path of dance is extremely competitive. Even the most outstanding dancers may not be able to stand out in a song and dance troupe. And even if they do stand out, there is a huge gap between dancers and star performers in terms of national recognition.

Most importantly, a graduate from 92 set an example, making many students at the Beijing Dance Academy feel that "excelling in dance leads to acting" is not just an empty promise, but a real opportunity.

"If Senior Wang Yan can play the female lead in a movie, why can't we?"

"That's right! If we could play a role like Li Fengjie, who would want to be a dancer?!"

Of course, there were also those who poured cold water on the idea.

"Have you guys seen the movie that Wang Yan starred in? I think it wasn't even shown in theaters, right? If I weren't studying at the Beijing Dance Academy, I'd never even heard of it!"

"Yeah, what's with this 'The Strange Heroine and the Pretty Girl Make a Scene in Rehe'? That name sounds like pure nonsense!"

However, those who pour cold water on the idea may not necessarily not want to participate in the recruitment process to realize their dreams.

in the office.

When Wang Yan's former homeroom teacher was chatting with a colleague, the colleague mentioned this incident and suggested, "Why don't you give Wang Yan a call and ask her to participate in the Dream Come True recruitment?"

"she?"

The homeroom teacher hesitated and said, "She's a formal dancer in the Railway Art Troupe..."

"so what?"

My colleague scoffed, "Do you think she still cares about dancing? Instead of staying in the railway art troupe as a half-baked amateur, she should go and try to pursue her dream."

The homeroom teacher thought about it and realized that made sense, so she decided to contact Wang Yan after get off work.

the other side.

One of the counselors for freshmen was also preparing to contact his old classmate to ask if he wanted to try his luck.

However, when she called the Oriental Song and Dance Troupe, she learned that they had gone to CCTV with the troupe and were rehearsing for the upcoming May Day Gala.

The counselor figured he didn't have anything important to do that afternoon, so he decided to leave early and sneak into the CCTV rehearsal to see if his old classmate had made any progress in the past six months.

If her position in the Oriental Song and Dance Troupe is secure, or she has already given up on the idea of ​​changing careers, then there is no need to persuade her to apply for a job. After all, the Oriental Song and Dance Troupe is already one of the top troupes in the domestic dance world.
