In fact, the thought of being cheated only flashed through Yang Ming's mind. Even without mentioning the mentor-disciple relationship between him and the old dean, he was still a student who graduated from the academy.

As a model of success, Yang Ming's name is bound to be admired by the junior students below, and is mentioned by the college as a role model from time to time.

This is the norm in the education world.

Nowadays, whenever a college or university celebrates its anniversary, invitations are sent out all over the world to invite those students who have become famous after graduating from their own school to come back and add luster to the school celebration.

The more famous and successful the students invited back are, the more prestigious the school hosting the school anniversary will be.

Entering the new century, this phenomenon is becoming more and more common among colleges and universities.

In fact, for Yanjing Film Academy, it is nothing to invite successful people from the school to attend the school anniversary ceremony.

What does a film school do?

This is one of the colleges known as a star-making base in the entertainment industry.

Many well-known directors and actors in the domestic entertainment industry are all from Yanjing Film Academy. It is not difficult to hold a school anniversary and get these students to come back to support them. The scene of the school anniversary can even match the star lineup attending the Golden Dragon Award Ceremony.

Comparable.

However, what Yang Ming represents to Yanjing Film Academy is very unique compared to others.

The old dean heard that Yang Ming was willing to spend 5 million yuan every year to set up a fund specifically for Yanjing Film Academy to support students at the school to realize their ideals.

His face full of grooves suddenly became red and full of smiles. In a happy mood, he chatted with Yang Ming about a lot of things.

This also made Yang Ming roughly guess why the old dean wanted him to invest in setting up a fund at Yanjing Film Academy to support the students of the academy for a long time.

They were all forced by their peers.

Yanjing Film Academy has no shortage of celebrities or big names, but it lacks the kind of truly rich people.

Regardless of the appearance fees or film and television remuneration of many celebrities in the entertainment industry, which have repeatedly reached new highs, their expenses are also very high.

If you want to maintain a bright image in front of the public, whether it is the operation of a professional team or the creation of your own image, a lot of expenditure is required.

Although the older generation of celebrities have been popular for decades, when they were at their peak, the treatment of celebrities at that time was very different from what it is now.

It can be said that Yanjing Film Academy does not lack fame, but it lacks profit.

Although many successful students have donated money and materials to their alma mater in recent years, these are all one-time transactions.

The old dean did not pay attention to this at first, but as the film industry has developed faster and faster in recent years, the employment situation faced by college graduates has become more and more severe.

With invisible care, students have no shortage of opportunities for work training.

But not now.

The greater the investment in a film crew, the less likely they are to hire newcomers with no experience at all.

Therefore, the old dean came up with the idea of ​​setting up a support fund in the college.

No matter how small the film is, as long as the project is established, it must be complete and used by people from all walks of life, then students from various departments in the college will have a direct opportunity to practice.

When he first thought of this plan, he never found the source of the fund.

This is not a one-time deal, but a long-term investment with basically no return. Under this situation, the old dean tried his best to test through various channels, but failed to realize his plan.

During this period, although he had obtained some financial support from the government, it was a drop in the bucket and he was still a weakling.

Yanjing Film Academy is not the only domestic art theater chain.

For this reason, the old dean almost scratched his hair. Who said that among the students who graduated from Yanjing Film Academy, there were almost no successful people who became famous in the business world? The academy is not short of famous directors and actors at the Golden Dragon Award level.

It's a big deal, but even the old dean would be embarrassed to spend 5 million a year on the college.

Even though actors are paid well now, but they are all fed by young people, the old director is considered an insider in the industry, and he never mentioned this at all.

In the past two years, whenever he saw news about someone donating tens of millions of dollars to his alma mater to run a school, he would be very envious and envious. Why didn't his own college have such students?

There is no way, Yanjing Film Academy is just an art school after all.

It is simply incomparable to comprehensive universities such as Yenching University and Shuimu University.

Every year, many students from these prestigious universities start their own businesses while in school. The myth of getting rich overnight is not just a coincidence.

However, when the entrepreneurial myth of Yang Ming in the past two years spread throughout China, the old dean's eyes suddenly lit up and became angry. This kid was simply a monster.

According to outside authoritative assessments, the total assets of Yang Ming are close to 100 billion yuan, and it only took him less than five years, which is faster than robbing money.

"Hey, to be honest, I only looked at you differently because of your talent, but I really didn't expect you to be such a monster. Let our film school just produce a business school that is comparable to the two universities of Yanda and Shuimu.

Top elite students, when I go to the Ministry of Education for a meeting next time, I don’t think those old guys have the nerve to say that our college is just like the actors in the past." The old dean said this like a child, with an atmosphere on his face.

appearance.

In the eyes of Yang Ming and several senior college officials, they couldn't laugh or cry.

Yanjing is the capital of China. There are so many famous schools in Yanjing that you can’t count them in the palm of your hand, so the competition is naturally fierce.

To be honest, although Yanjing Film Academy has a high status in the film circle, it is insignificant in the education world.

Seeing that the old dean attached so much importance to this fund plan, Yang Ming couldn't help but said: "Dean, is 5 million Chinese dollars a year too little? How about 10 million?"

He opened his mouth and doubled the number. It was not a whim, but a decision he had just made after careful consideration.

It can be said that it is basically difficult to make a profit by setting up a fund at your alma mater to support students in making films.

Unless there are particularly outstanding film works, it is estimated that most of the films produced will have difficulty in being released in commercial theaters.

No matter the picture or the rhythm of the film, it is definitely not comparable to commercial films. Even if teachers help students control it, there are still many loopholes.

But Yang Ming has an art theater chain!

He spent a lot of money to renovate and renovate the art theater chain, and according to his plan, the scale of the art theater chain will definitely expand further. Under this situation, this art theater chain naturally needs film sources for screening

.

Then, as long as the academy does produce excellent films, Yang Ming will naturally not refuse to be released in art theaters.

If the film achieves good results after its release, the subsequent copyright income will be very considerable.

As Yang Ming is an investor in this fund, all income derived from copyright naturally belongs to him.

He doesn't value this interest very much.

But I understand that for the school, they definitely don’t want to see him spend 10 million every year to come in and waste money. If he really gets nothing, the face of the school will be tarnished.

In business, Yang Ming has nothing to be embarrassed about.

When Yang Ming said these words, the old dean had not yet responded. Several other senior college officials could not help but breathe quickly. They looked at the old dean expectantly, wishing that they could take the old dean's place and agree immediately.

10 million yuan!

To be honest, this amount of money is not worth mentioning to Yanjing Film Academy.

But if this money is extra, and the 10 million is used to support the academy's film and television shooting every year, then this is undoubtedly a windfall that they cannot be tempted by.

The most important thing is that once a film made by a student is successful, it will be a good thing for Yanjing Film School to gain both fame and fortune.

How could these high-level officials not be moved?

However, after thinking about it for a moment, the old dean shook his head. Regardless of the disappointment on the faces of several senior executives, he said to Yang Ming: "It's not necessary for the time being. After all, I don't know what effect this plan can achieve. Let's run it for a year and see.

Look, if it can really bring certain effects to the college's running of the school, and you don't feel like you're at a disadvantage, then we can discuss expanding the scale of the support fund."

After hearing the old dean's words, several senior college officials couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief.

Not a single refusal, which is fine!

Hearing this, Yang Ming nodded and agreed with the old dean's opinion. This was his first time trying such support, and the specific results would not be known until a year later.

He chatted with the old dean and several senior college officials for a while, then said goodbye and left.

Seeing Yang Ming leaving, the old dean did not turn to look at the senior college officials, but still looked at the direction in which Yang Ming left, showed a meaningful smile, and said leisurely: "How is it? Yang Mingke

You are not the kind of person who is ungrateful, are you satisfied now?"

After hearing this, several senior leaders of the college had a look of embarrassment on their faces.

They thought about the incident in which Yang Ming was awarded a degree and allowed this controversial student in the school to graduate normally, which caused a dispute among senior officials.

To be honest, according to school rules, it is impossible for Yang Ming to get a diploma.

It's not that Yang Ming failed the exam.

On the contrary, perhaps because of the benefits brought by time travel, Yang Ming's memory in this life is extremely strong, and it can be said that he has a photographic memory. He has received excellent results in every exam in the college.

But his stay at the college was too short, and he spent most of every semester on leave.

For such students, it is also in line with the rules for the college not to allow them to graduate.

But the old dean obviously didn't want to see this result.

It's not that he used his power for personal gain, or that he ignored the college's teaching rules because he valued Yang Ming.

But Yang Ming's talent and achievements cannot really be compared with ordinary students.

He is a genius, an unparalleled genius. In the nearly hundred years since the founding of the Yanjing Film Academy, the old dean has never seen a student who can compare with Yang Ming in terms of talent.

The college has had extraordinary and successful students over the years, and many of them are now highly respected seniors in the industry.

But in the opinion of the old dean, even these people cannot compare with Yang Ming in terms of talent and talent.
