Chapter 161 How Can Art Schools Teach People How to Make Money?

"There will be more. China Film Group has been building distribution channels. The country is also consciously regulating this part. Directors of all sizes have also transformed, including our school, which has actually begun to transform in teaching.

A few days ago, I chatted with teachers. In fact, they are aware that the gap between teaching and the market is gradually widening, but it is not that easy. They don't know how to do it. I don't know how many years the inertia of teaching thinking will continue." Yang Lingyue nodded and said.

"How can art schools teach to make money? This is nonsense." Ma Ke was very puzzled.

"Maybe I didn't make it clear. It's an innovation in creative concepts.

In terms of commercial success, if you let the current teachers teach, they won't know how to do it. Take the film appreciation class as an example. There is still a dispute about whether to show some films that have good box office but not so strong artistic quality. You can imagine it.

It may be possible for successful directors to teach, but who is willing to go?" Yang Lingyue explained.

Tian Zhuangzhuang once said: "The academy is responsible for the popularization and dissemination of film knowledge, but it does not bear the future, especially the directing department."

The film academy can be understood as a driving school, teaching you theoretical knowledge and driving skills on the road. After you get a driver's license, whether you drive in the future, where you drive, and what you drive for have nothing to do with the driving school.

"Well, that makes sense. If you shoot a few films during school and have achievements, you can stay in school to teach directly after graduation, haha." Ma Ke said.

Yang Lingyue smiled and didn't say anything else.

The film industry is not short of talents. It has overflowed long ago. Some of them were eliminated at the beginning of entering the industry. After all, the money required to make a movie is not a small amount. There are not so many wishing angels.

There is another reason. The family background of people studying directing is generally not too bad. If it is too bad, they can't afford it. The cost of shooting a student's homework is more expensive than the tuition fee. Students of other majors can also go out to work part-time, and students of the acting department can be models, extras, or even take on roles.

Those in the literature department are ghostwriters, and those in the photography department are even less so. Those in the directing department can't do part-time jobs at all. The workload is the heaviest and the cost is the highest.

So after getting a diploma, those who can endure it will endure it, and those who can't endure it will go home to inherit the family business or find a good class.

It is also very difficult to get a diploma. After the first year, you will have to be screened to see if you are suitable for being a director. If not, don't waste your time. The school doesn't want to waste resources. After all, the equipment for classes is quite expensive.

After talking and laughing, lunch is over.

After saying goodbye and getting in the car, Yang Lingyue called Yu Li. Yu Li went shopping and picked up the customized Hanfu by the way. Yang Lingyue was very relieved about this.

When he was humming a tune happily and starting the car, his mobile phone rang. It was Kong Jing, the telephone specialist.

This is very strange. After so long, the media basically didn't call, and basically no one called the previous number.

"Boss, Tong Dawei wants to see you."

"Okay, got it, thank you."

Yang Lingyue hung up Kong Jing's phone and called Tong Dawei again.

Yang Lingyue didn't feel embarrassed about not telling the other party that he had changed his number, and he greeted him directly. Then Tong Dawei asked:

"Director Yang, what's the progress of "The Last Race"?

"The script has been reviewed, what's wrong?" Yang Lingyue asked.

"It's like this, can I ask about the investment budget of our film?" Tong Dawei paused and asked.

"The production budget is 10 million, and the salary set for you is 500,000."

Yang Lingyue understood what the other party meant, but was surprised why the other party asked about this topic in person.

For Tong Dawei, as one of the four young actors, this salary is relatively low, but he is not a movie star and has not proved himself at the box office.

The most important thing is that "Struggle" has not been broadcast on satellite TV yet.

Tong Dawei then asked about the investors, distributors, shooting time and cycle.

Yang Lingyue decided to shoot on July 5th, because it was almost summer vacation, and the shooting period was one and a half months.

"I have no problem, thank you Director Yang, have the other actors been decided? Uh, I don't mean anything else..." Tong Dawei said.

"Not yet, I understand what you mean, don't worry, this is my first feature film." Yang Lingyue smiled.

"Got it."

Tong Dawei's call reminded Yang Lingyue that there was no rush for the shooting location.

The actors did have to be decided, but they had to wait until the script was thoroughly reviewed. You know, this film will use a lot of old artists, and the pay may not be high, but for the sake of certainty, it is better to decide before making an appointment.

Currently, the roles decided are Tong Dawei's caregiver and Zeng Li's daughter role.

The second male and second female.

The selection of the first male requires some effort, after all, there are a lot of running scenes, and it is a hot day, and the age must be over 60 years old, and they cannot be short or have short legs.

Yang Lingyue didn't plan to just randomly find extras for the other old people who had roles to play. He had to look for them slowly, but it wouldn't be too difficult. It was easy to find old actors who retired from major theaters.

Just thinking about this, he drove to Courtyard No. 5.

As soon as he parked the car, Ning Hao called and said that he was at Beijing Normal University and was called over to work on the College Student Film Festival. He asked if Yang Lingyue was at school.

The Kyoto College Student Film Festival was hosted by Beijing Normal University, and Ning Hao's first university was the Art Department of Beijing Normal University, and later he took the entrance exam for the Photography Department of Beijing Film Academy.

"I just came back from Golden Shield, what's up?"

"Let's meet and chat."

"Wait for me for 5 minutes."

No. 5 Yard is about 2 kilometers away from Beijing Normal University, which is closer than Beijing Film Academy.

Yang Lingyue didn't drive, but rode a small electric scooter to get there.

Beijing Normal University is across the road from the east gate of Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications. Yang Lingyue has been there several times because the canteen of Beijing Normal University is cheap and delicious. Anyway, among all the surrounding schools, the canteen of Beijing Film Academy is famous for being expensive and unpalatable.

He rode a small electric scooter directly to the door of a milk tea shop called Nuancha on the commercial street of Beijing Normal University.

Ning Hao was sipping milk tea and chatting with a few students. It can be seen that he was very idle.

"Sorry, fellow juniors, my friend is coming, I have to go." Ning Hao glanced at Yang Lingyue, stood up and said with a smile.

Well, the four juniors turned their heads at the same time and saw Yang Lingyue.

"Senior, your friend is Yang Lingyue?" A girl with a bob haircut asked tentatively.

"Yes." Ning Hao responded.

Wow, the four girls passed Ning Hao at the same time and came to the small electric scooter.

"Yang Lingyue, we like you very much."

"Yang Lingyue, why don't you post a blog?"

"Yang Lingyue, why don't you go to Tieba?"

"Do you like milk tea?"

"Can we take a picture?"

".........."
