Chapter 1139 Fatal Attraction

As soon as the idea of ​​​​founding a film and television training school was born, Li Mu was determined to implement this matter in his heart and do it well.

Unlike some so-called academies where the bosses became famous and became famous and served as the president and professor, Li Mu knew that he did not have the qualifications to teach people, so he only provided money, resources, and integration in running the school, but never interfered with any real involvement. educational level.

In fact, the cost of starting a film and television training academy is not too high for Li Mu. In recent years, China has begun to concentrate industries, including the education industry. There are similar "university towns" everywhere. University towns are like business incubators, providing venues for schools, teaching buildings, dormitories, stadiums, libraries and other infrastructure to facilitate the rapid entry of colleges and universities.

Li Mu felt that he could sign up for a private film and television training academy, rent teaching hardware in a university town near a first-tier city, and hire a large number of outstanding talents from Hollywood to come to China to teach regularly or in turn, and recruit students from the whole society.

At that time, you can use your investment, as well as your own resources and influence, to build the school's software and hardware to the top, even surpassing the old film and television schools in China. As long as you are willing to work hard and invest in sources, you will definitely be able to create the best domestic school. Film and Television Academy, and this academy does not even need to be included in the unified recruitment of the Ministry of Education, it only needs to have private teaching qualifications, and then recruit students from the society on its own.

The criteria for judging whether students can enter the school are no longer cultural classes, relationships, background, age and appearance, but are entirely based on professional talent and literacy.

Even if you haven't even attended high school, even if you are thirty or even forty years old, as long as your professional skills meet the requirements, you are all candidates for admission.

As for the tuition fee, Li Mu thinks it can be divided into two grades. The first grade is for social students, who pay to come in to study, and then find employment after finishing their studies. The tuition fees for such students are relatively expensive. Although the school does not plan to make profits, at least it can't pay too much. The other category is for students who are willing to sign a contract with Muye Imaging. If they are willing to sign a contract with Muye Imaging, then according to the difference of the contract and the strength of the students themselves, a certain degree of tuition reduction and exemption will be given to those good seedlings. , all tuition and miscellaneous fees can be waived, and even some scholarships are provided by the school to help them complete their studies.

As for teaching, it is entirely based on professional skills, and does not teach any courses that have nothing to do with professional skills. All the goals are to improve the professional skills of students.

Using an authoritative team of teachers to recruit truly capable students and conduct the most scientific and systematic teaching, then the students who come out of this system, needless to say, must be a living force with extremely strong professional quality.

After this idea became more and more mature in his mind, Li Mu explained his own ideas and let others give opinions and suggestions.

Even Spielberg was stunned. After a while, he said to Li Mu awkwardly: "Actually, I mean to open a relatively high-end training institution, not really a comprehensive film and television academy... The former is not difficult to achieve, but the latter is completely different.”

Li Mu said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, since we want the industry to develop better, good soil is a must. I don't want domestic film and television dramas to be full of actors who can't act."

When he said this, what Li Mu thought of was a bunch of fresh-faced actors who couldn't act, and a bunch of old actors who didn't want to make progress.

In the era of little fresh meat, a large number of facial paralysis fresh meat actors who only have good looks and no acting skills have become super-first-line actors. This in itself is very distressing, but what is even more embarrassing, there are also a group of so-called "old drama bones". Only getting older does not improve acting skills, such as a certain Kai Li, who has been acting for decades, from daughter-in-law to mother-in-law, the screen image has hardly changed, but even so, there is still no acting skills to speak of, and she exerts too much force when she is on the camera. There was a lot of embarrassment across the screen.

If there really is a "Whampoa Military Academy" or even a "West Point Military Academy" in the film and television industry,

Cultivating a group of truly professional talents for this industry will not only have a huge promotion effect on the entire industry, but also have a great error correction effect, which will largely prevent the domestic film and television industry from falling into that embarrassing situation again. among.

Seeing that everyone was shocked by his idea, Li Mu frowned and asked Spielberg: "Steven, if I start a school like this in Huaxia, would you be interested in being the school's principal?"

Spielberg then came back to his senses, exclaimed, and said, "Mr. Li, I am so impressed that you can have such a systematic idea and a huge structure so quickly! As for your invitation just now, I personally am very impressed. Willing to take it, but I'm worried I might not have as much time."

Li Mu smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, it's enough for you to come here a few times a year. For real management work, I can hire a professional management talent to do it."

Spielberg pondered for a while, and weighed Li Mu's strength and Li Mu's future development prospects.

In his opinion, Li Mu's prospects are limitless, and he may even become the new richest man in the world in a few years. Such a super talent means resources and opportunities to others, and he also hopes very much. He was able to maintain an excellent cooperative relationship with him, so he could not refuse Li Mu's invitation.

"Mr. Li, since you trust me so much, then I will officially agree to your invitation!"

"That's great." Li Mu was also a little excited, and said, "Since we want to run a school, we must set up the best school. At that time, our major needs to design all aspects of the film and television industry, from actors to directors to editing and soundtracking. As well as computer special effects, we will cultivate a group of truly outstanding talents for Huaxia's film and television industry!"

Ning Hao and Teng Huatao, as well as several other Muye Imaging contracted actors, all listened with enthusiasm. Li Mu really wanted to invest in the establishment of a Whampoa Military Academy in the film and television industry in Huaxia. Hollywood hires, and abandons the threshold of cultural classes, abandons all unspoken rules and black-box operations, and only uses professional skills as the criterion, then it will definitely be able to cultivate a group of high-end talents in the true sense!

The cost of running a school is very high. In addition to the hardware investment, the biggest cost is the software cost and management cost. It may not be able to recruit many students, but all teachers must be fully equipped. The cost of finding a professor from Hollywood is certain. It is several times or even dozens of times more expensive than finding a domestic professor. If the enrollment is insufficient, it is likely to lose money.

Most of the private universities in China make money because they themselves are a bunch of businessmen doing a business, a business in education.

In doing this kind of business, they also maintain the nature of profiteers. On the one hand, they do their best to increase the cost of learning and miscellaneous expenses, and on the other hand, they can save the investment in software and hardware.

Especially the faculty, most private universities rely almost entirely on fooling around, enrolling thousands of students a year, bringing in tens of millions of tuition gross profits, of which millions are used to pay for hardware costs, and millions of dollars are used to pay the salary of the faculty team. , the rest is all the net profit of the school board. In general, if you throw away the moral issues that delay students, this is still a very good business.

During the summer vacation of the university in Li Mu's last life, he even heard that other students went out to recruit students for private universities. If they did well, they could earn hundreds of thousands in one summer vacation. That's because the enrollment rate of private universities is very high, and sometimes they recruit one Students in the past will be given a commission of one or two thousand or even more. In one summer vacation, if you recruit dozens or hundreds of students in a city, you can basically make a fortune. From this, you can see that the overall level of private universities is The lack has a lot to do with their motivation for running a school. They don't educate people, they just make money.

Moreover, even if a private university has the heart to run a school and educate people, it is difficult to do this job well. This is different from Europe and the United States, mainly because of the domestic environment, most of the educational resources are in the hands of public schools. The living space of universities is not enough, and they can only survive in the cracks. If private universities are equipped with first-class or even super-first-class teachers, almost all private universities will lose money in the absence of state subsidies.

Li Mu did not want to make money in the film and television academy, and was even prepared to operate in arrears. His idea was to use his profits in the film and television industry to give blood to the school.

Although Li Mu is not sure that the films made by Muye Imaging can make money in the future, he already has a Muying ticketing system, which will make more and more profits with the continuous improvement of the domestic box office market. After meeting the needs of daily operations, Li Mu can take out all the net profit and feed it back to the school. The purpose is also to feed back the Chinese film and television industry and promote the further development of the Chinese film and television industry.

If you can build a real cradle of the Chinese film and television industry, it can be regarded as a little contribution to the industry.

With such a big event and such a big financial risk, Li Mu made a decision on the spot, and he also came up with such a complete plan. This courage not only infected Spielberg, but also made others present admire from the bottom of their hearts.

The contracted directors and artists brought by Li Mu, including Du Wei and Zhang Kexuan, have long since fallen in love with Li Mu, so the amazement and admiration he felt at this moment did not reach the level that could not be concealed. Servi, the look in Li Mu's eyes at this moment is like a little fan girl!

Anne Hathaway felt for the first time that when the courage in a man is transformed into charm, the charm that makes women fall for it. In her opinion, Li Mu, a big oriental boy, seems to radiate to herself everywhere. With fatal attraction...
