This year's graduation ceremony of Yanjing Film Academy ended quickly after Yang Ming walked off the stage.

However, Yang Ming's speech on the stage had a great impact on all the teachers and students present today, causing many people to fall into deep thought and touching their sensitive nerves.

Yanjing Film Academy, known as one of the star-making bases in the Chinese entertainment industry, although it looks glamorous on the surface, countless high school students hope to be admitted to the academy and realize their dreams of becoming stars. As one of the well-known art theaters in China,

As the entertainment and culture industry becomes more and more developed, the reputation of Yanjing Film Academy is also becoming higher and higher.

It's just that not many people have noticed the hidden worries within the college.

Social changes have made reality full of competition, and it is becoming more and more intense.

In recent years, there are really very few students who have graduated from Yanjing Film Academy who can make their mark in the entertainment industry.

As for some behind-the-scenes positions such as lighting, photography, sound recording, etc., fresh graduates will definitely not be able to take the lead. Even if there are a few students with outstanding abilities, for Yanjing Film School, they are only a small part.

Some students even cannot stand the fierce competition for positions and, as Yang Ming said, no longer work in this industry.

For example, others don’t know the college’s annual employment situation, but how could the top management of the college not know it?

But for the time being, they had no good solution.

However, Yang Ming's speech today seems to have given all college senior leaders a direction worth learning from and thinking about.

If students really love their major and want to realize their ideals, then they must persevere. If the film crew cannot find opportunities, then go to the TV drama crew; if the TV drama crew cannot find opportunities, then go to the TV station.

Variety show column.

If this is not possible, there are also various opportunities such as online dramas, micro-movies, and dramas for students to hone their survival. When they accumulate to a certain level, they can eventually realize their ideals.

A shady road in the college.

Yang Ming walked and talked with the old dean and several senior college officials.

"You gave a good lecture today. You have taught all our teachers and students a lesson." The old dean sighed.

"Dean, you're too polite. I was just saying casually." Yang Ming said modestly.

The old dean waved his hand and did not care about Yang Ming's modesty. Instead, he said to him seriously: "Yenjing Film Academy is your alma mater. As you just said in your last speech, what is your alma mater? It's the one you scolded him eight times a day.

It is a place where others are not allowed to scold you! Although you have hardly attended a full semester of courses in the college in the past few years, you are a student who came out of our college after all. Since you take the college so seriously, then please help me.

busy."

When Yang Ming heard this, he looked up and saw the old dean looking at him with sly eyes like a fox. He had no choice but to bite the bullet and said: "As long as it is within my ability, I will definitely help."

Although his achievements in this life are basically due to the golden finger in his previous life, we have to admit that the old dean has attached great importance to him in recent years and treated him as a closed disciple at the beginning. He introduced him to many seniors in the film industry, which made him

His path in the entertainment industry has been much smoother in this life.

In fact, Yang Ming did not say how grateful he was for the old dean's help, but the old dean treated him as if he were a master and apprentice in ancient times, treating him as his own son, as if Yang Ming was his relative, which made Yang Ming feel very grateful.

Feel warm.

This is the real reason why Yang Ming respects the old dean so much.

The old dean glanced at Yang Ming and said slowly: "The college has been trying to reform the school in recent years. There are good and bad results, but no one thought that the most successful change would be the cooperation with your popcorn website.

Many students have received some training during their time at school and even received certain financial benefits. I hope you will ensure that this cooperation will continue and pay more attention to your alma mater than other art academies."

Popcorn.com?

When Yang Ming heard the old dean's words, he suddenly realized that this was the case. Although he knew from Ma Yun that Popcorn.com's cooperation with Yanjing Film Academy was getting deeper and deeper, he did not interfere with the specific matters.

After all, if there is no big or small matter, he has to deal with it one by one, even if it is split into several pieces, it will not be enough.

However, Yang Ming still knew a little about Popcorn's general plan for cooperation with art schools. He thought about it carefully and said, "Don't worry, the cooperation between my video website and the school will only deepen.

Instead of retreating, it is estimated that the scale of cooperation will be further expanded next year, which is also a matter of mutual benefit."

This is true.

In fact, Popcorn is not the only company with video websites like Popcorn on the Internet.

But because Yang Ming has the memory of his past life and knows the future development direction of video websites, Popcorn's traffic ranking has now risen to first in the industry, and is far away from the second place.

Especially because Popcorn.com and Phoenix TV have the same owner, the cooperation between the two parties is more thorough, making the Popcorn Video website more and more influential and authoritative on the Internet.

Since cooperating with art colleges and universities, after the mini-web dramas or videos of a few minutes produced by college students were uploaded to Popcorn.com, some of the more distinctive short dramas quickly became popular on the Internet with the promotion of the website, attracting a large amount of traffic.

, once a certain data indicator is reached, the website will also give certain monetary returns to the video web drama producers. The higher the traffic introduced, the higher the returns will be.

Popcorn and college students are a win-win.

Because of Yang Ming, Yanjing Film Academy took the lead in cooperating with Popcorn.com, and now many students' works have gained a certain degree of popularity on the Internet.

Not only is the students' efforts rewarded, but more importantly, the students get a certain amount of training through the production of these short video plays, so that they already have certain professional experience before they step out of school and enter the society.

The reason why the old dean mentioned this to Yang Ming was because other art schools in China were jealous when they saw the success of Yanjing Film Academy in this area, and they contacted Popcorn.com one after another to establish their own school pages on the website.

.

After all, Popcorn.com is a company, and it is impossible to reject other partners just because Yanjing Film Academy is Yang Ming’s alma mater.

This also puts pressure on Yanjing Film Academy.

In fact, it is not that there are no other video websites on the Internet, but regardless of the scale of the website or the experience of netizens, Popcorn.com is far beyond other websites. Some colleges and universities have cooperated with other video websites, but the effect is obviously not good.

Under the guidance of Yang Ming, Popcorn.com has always adhered to the model of UGC users sharing videos. It can be said that Popcorn is the best UGC website in this regard, even if it is placed in the world.

Therefore, in this case, Popcorn.com is the best choice for major domestic art schools.

The senior college officials following Yang Ming and the old dean could not help but heave a sigh of relief when they heard Yang Ming's assurance.

Through these two or three years of cooperation, Popcorn.com’s importance to film art schools has become increasingly prominent.

In the words of Yang Ming in his speech just now, the number of film crews that start shooting every year is limited, but more and more students graduate every year, and the employment situation has been very severe in recent years.

Students without any work experience face competition in the workplace after graduation, and the consequences are predictable.

But now the cooperation with Popcorn.com is different.

A cheap dv can solve many problems.

Shooting a video short film through DV, not to mention compared with movies, it is estimated that even the well-made online short dramas will be difficult to catch up with the videos shot by students, but this does not mean that the video short films shot by students using DV are useless.

The place of martial arts.

On the contrary, as long as they have outstanding creativity and excellent shooting techniques, the short videos shot by students can still be successful.

Such successful examples have become commonplace in the past two years.

Some teachers from art schools sometimes use DV to shoot some short videos that they want to express their opinions, and upload them to the website, which has received a lot of response on the Internet.

It can be said that Popcorn.com is becoming more and more important to art schools.

Yang Ming is the owner of this video website and is also a student of Yanjing Film Academy, so he is naturally highly valued by the academy's senior management.

Therefore, even if Yang Ming will hardly appear in the college in the past two years, he can still graduate. It has to be said that to a certain extent, it is just an exchange of interests.

Perhaps because he was tired from walking, the old dean stopped under the shade of a tree.

He said to Yang Ming: "Originally there was another request that I didn't want to say, but I thought that I wouldn't be able to stay in the position of dean for long. I always wanted to leave something for the college. After thinking about it, you are the best choice.

suitable."

Seeing the complicated look on the old dean's face, Yang Ming couldn't help but look solemn and said to this respectable elder: "Just tell me directly, as long as I can help, I will definitely help."

"hehe!"

Hearing Yang Ming's words, the old dean chuckled twice, and then did not directly mention the help he wanted from Yang Ming, but commented with emotion: "To be honest, I really didn't expect to meet such an alternative like you before I retired.

!”

Yang Ming couldn't help but be stunned when he heard these words. Even the senior college officials around him looked at the old dean curiously, a little confused as to why he made such a comment.

The old dean did not pay attention to the expressions of others, with a nostalgic gaze in his eyes, and sighed: "Our Yanjing Film Institute is also a well-known university in China. There are countless stars who have graduated from the academy. Even other majors have later become

There are many students who have won the Golden Dragon Award, but they can’t help me with this!”

Having said this, he looked at Yang Ming with a strange look and said: "To be honest, I sometimes suspect that Yang Ming is not a student of our Yanjing Film School, but a student of the Yanjing University Business School.

The right kind of elites come out. A student from an art school, in just a few years, started from scratch and created various business myths. Now your entrepreneurial history is regarded as a classic case analysis and study by many business schools at home and abroad."

As the old dean said these words, several senior college officials around him couldn't help laughing.

Yang Ming was originally curious as to why the old dean just said that he didn't look like a student of Yanjing Film Academy. Now that he heard these words, he couldn't help but look dumbfounded.

He really didn't expect to hear such comments from the old dean.

"So, among directors, I am the best at acting, among actors, I am the most successful as a boss, and among bosses, I am the best at singing!" Yang Ming shrugged and said with a carefree smile.

The old dean couldn't help but be happy when he heard this. He tapped Yang Ming with his hand, but did not continue the topic. Instead, he said: "The favor just now was for you to contribute, and now the favor is for you to pay!"

"The new director training program run by your film company is very good. Can you give your alma mater one or two places every year?" The old dean said to Yang Ming with a wink.

As soon as he said this, the eyes of several college senior officials around him suddenly turned red.

They have all heard about the star project directed by the newcomer from Oriental DreamWorks, or there is no one in the film industry who does not know about it.

With an annual investment of 50 million, not to mention the film industry, the entire entertainment industry was shocked by Yang Ming's skill. They thought that Yang Ming had too much money and made several big-selling movies. He had no idea.

The sky is thick and the earth is thick.

But now it seems that many people have misjudged it.
