Chapter 80: 50th Anniversary Celebration, Post Outstanding Alumni

The Imperial Academy of Drama, Ye Ran’s alma mater, has just passed its 50th anniversary since its establishment. There have been many first-line stars here.

According to information on the school’s official website in May 2020, the Imperial Academy of Drama occupies a total area of ​​five major departments.

The main campus covers an area of ​​80 acres; other communities cover an area of ​​536 acres, with a total investment of about 3 billion yuan.

There are nearly 6,000 full-time students at school, and about 4,000 adult education undergraduates, international students, on-the-job graduate students and graduate courses, advanced studies and trainees.

There are 467 faculty members, including 207 full-time teachers.

The teachers are strong, and they are among the best in Yanguo Art Academy.

However.

With the passage of time, the popularity of the Imperial Academy of Drama has been completely compared to the Beijing Film Television Academy and the Beijing Film Academy.

In recent years, it is rare to have a first-line star, which makes the school tie a headache.

The more big stars there are, the better the reputation of their school, so that the benefits will be better.

The principal Guo Jingmin sat in the conference room with a solemn expression, while those department heads and professors were the same, with solemn expressions, and they were under a lot of pressure.

There are two topics to be discussed at this conference, one is the "Top Ten Star-Making Projects", and the other is the upcoming "50th Anniversary Celebration".

Regarding the "Top Ten Star-Making Projects", Guo Jingmin is the most troublesome. The quality of students in the Academy of Drama is also good, and it is not bad compared to the other two film and television universities.

But without the cooperation of a good entertainment company, no matter how good the seedlings are, the day lily will be cold over time.

This aspect is especially obvious for female artists, who eat youthful meals.

Currently, none of the entertainment companies contracted by the Imperial Academy of Drama is a top-tier entertainment company, all of them are second- and third-rate entertainment companies.

For example, several major entertainment companies in the Imperial Capital, Long Entertainment Media, Sky Entertainment Media, and Emperor Entertainment, they have not signed a contract with the Drama Academy.

And many outstanding graduates are unwilling to sign with these second- and third-rate entertainment companies.

There are still a small number of people who have signed up to major entertainment companies through various channels. They want to seize the opportunity to make a big hit.

This is a very good thing for the Imperial Academy of Drama. They also want these students to become popular.

However, good opportunities are always in the hands of a small number of people. Being able to enter a large entertainment company does not mean that you will be popular.

The graduates of these drama schools usually find it difficult to get good opportunities in large entertainment companies.

At this time, students from Beijing Film University and Beijing Film University have a great reputation in large entertainment companies, while students from the Academy of Drama are cannon fodder.

This has made many drama graduates realize that even if you barely squeeze into a major entertainment company, it is also a foil, so it is better to choose to sign a second- and third-rate entertainment company, so that there is still a chance to become a big hit.

However, small entertainment companies have limited resources. Good scripts, songs, and entertainment programs have been divided up by several large companies. It is difficult to become a big star, so you can become a second- and third-rate star. That's it.

The fierce competition in the entertainment industry can be described as a fight against each other, which is far from being so glamorous on the surface.

"Everyone, our school hasn't seen a big star for several years. If this continues, many outstanding students will not choose our theater anymore."

"And this time in the Ten Big Star Projects, we are just chanting the slogan. If three or four big stars can appear, we will be very content."

"Next, we have to get in touch with the bosses of several major entertainment companies. In any case, we have to find a way to let them help us cultivate a few big stars."

Regarding these key tasks, Guo Jingmin, the director of the theater academy, said very seriously.

The professors and teachers here nodded one after another, but they knew it was difficult, and those bosses might not necessarily talk to us.

"Principal, we have tried this before, and Chen Youliang, the CEO of Long Entertainment Media, I can't even make an appointment."

"The boss of Tianyu Media, Mr. He, he also said that he is not available."

"It's all the same, Emperor Entertainment's boss Tom, he said directly that he is not interested in meeting, you are out of breath."

Guo Jingmin frowned. This is easy to say, but it is really difficult to do.

"I know you are difficult, but the current problem, if we don't raise the prestige of our school, we will not be able to recruit good students."

In the meeting room, the atmosphere immediately solidified, and everyone was in trouble.

"Principal, can we invite these bigwigs to join us in the name of the 50th anniversary celebration, and then we will talk to them about this matter again?" Department head Yuan Hua suggested.

"Director Yuan's suggestion is good, why didn't I expect it."

"Good idea, as long as they are willing to come, we have a way to sign a contract with them."

"Then we will immediately sort out the school celebration list and screen out the best participants."

"As long as we negotiate with these big companies, once the star-making plan is successful, then our school will be able to return to the top ranks."

Guo Jingmin also thought that this was a good idea, and his frowned brows finally relaxed.

"Director Yuan, we invite candidates for the school celebration. You will pay attention when the time comes and try to choose some promising alumni. As for those big guys, do as you say."

Then these school leaders discussed some related matters about the 50th anniversary celebration, and the meeting ended.

......

As soon as she got home, Yuan Hua began to devote herself to work, which is the main reason why she became the dean of the department before she was 40 years old.

Yuan Hua is a workaholic. She is not in the mood to do other things unless things are done first, and her work attitude is very appreciated by the leaders.

If the big bosses can be successfully invited this time, Guo Jingmin is going to make Yuan Hua the dean.

Yuan Hua took on the important task and stayed up all night to sort out the information. She had to choose the most suitable candidate to participate.

The names are written densely on the list. Some have started companies, others have become famous, and others have social influence.

These personnel are definitely invited.

The most important thing is the bosses of several major entertainment companies, who must be invited to post.

Yuan Hua checked the list several times, and almost everyone who should be invited was invited.

Suddenly, Yuan Hua thought of his student Ye Ran.

Yuan Hua was Ye Ran's head teacher. When he graduated, Yuan Hua strongly recommended Ye Ran to go to an entertainment company to develop, but Ye Ran did not go, but ran to deliver the express.

This made Yuan Hua so angry that he couldn't eat for several days. Is there such a ruin of his own appearance? He looks so handsome, even if his acting skills are poor, casually posing in a few poses is still a niche.

To participate in the school celebration this time, she wants to invite Ye Ran to come and be civilized.

By then recommending Ye Ran to a good entertainment company can change his bleak life.

Yuan Hua wrote Ye Ran's name heavily on the invitation list.

After confirming the list, Yuan Hua gave the list to the people below overnight, and asked them to quickly make exquisite invitation posts.

In this way, these people on the list can receive invitations soon.
