Chapter 232 Wait until you are 18 years old to join the studio
Time passed quickly, and the morning art exam was over. Yang Hao stretched to relax his muscles.
Yang Hao then stood up and walked out of the examination room, chatting and laughing with Zhang Fengyi, Zhen Zidan and others.
Seeing Yang Hao and others walk out of the examination room, the media reporters who had been waiting outside for a long time immediately swarmed in, pointing their cameras at Yang Hao, Zhang Fengyi and Zhen Zidan.
More than a dozen reporters blocked the road, and judging from their attitude, they were not going to let anyone leave unless they said something.
Beijing Film Academy had anticipated today's scene by inviting celebrities to be examiners for the art exam, and soon the school leaders came with security guards to maintain order at the scene.
"Would you like to give a brief interview?" Xu Xiaodan asked.
"Okay," Yang Hao, Zhang Fengyi and Zhen Zidan all nodded in agreement.
This is the first time that a celebrity has served as an examiner this year. This innovative move is bound to be criticized. Instead of letting the public imagine, it is better to accept interviews from the media and give a brief explanation.
"Dear journalists and media friends, please be quiet. Everyone has one chance to ask questions and be interviewed. I hope you can maintain order and avoid crowding," Xu Xiaodan walked up to a group of reporters and said loudly.
After hearing Xu Xiaodan's words, the originally noisy scene suddenly became quiet. After hearing that everyone had a chance to ask questions, everyone stopped crowding and followed the arrangement of the Beijing Film Academy to go forward for the interview one by one.
"Yang Hao, you have only been in the industry for two years. Do you think you have the qualifications to be an arts examiner?" When this question was asked, there was a brief silence at the scene.
All the media reporters looked at the reporter who asked the question, wanting to see whose general was so brave.
Asking this question is not a slap in Yang Hao's face.
Moreover, this happened on Beijing Film Academy's territory, which was equivalent to indirectly slapping Beijing Film Academy in the face. Beijing Film Academy was a behemoth. How could it survive in the entertainment industry if it offended it?
However, when they saw the tag hanging on the reporter's chest, everyone showed a look of sudden enlightenment.
It turned out to be a reporter from Southern Metropolis Daily.
This is not surprising, as Southern Metropolis Daily has always been known for its sharp and incisive questions, and is not afraid of offending anyone for the sake of sales.
Yang Hao has a particularly deep memory of Southern Metropolis Daily, as he has had a lot of grievances with this media outlet.
When the press conference for "The Richest Tomato" was held, it was the Southern Metropolis Daily that did not give face.
In the interview, the actor asked Dilireba whether she got the role through unspoken rules, which made Dilireba, who had just debuted, embarrassed on the spot.
From then on, Yang Hao no longer invited reporters from Southern Metropolis Daily to any of his press conferences.
I never expected that I would meet this media again when I come to Beijing Film Academy as an examiner.
Yang Hao even suspected that he asked this question deliberately just to embarrass himself.
In terms of status in the circle, he is much higher than Zhang Fengyi and Zhen Zidan, but now it is the Beijing Film Academy's art exam, and what the examiners need is not status, but acting skills.
Zhang Fengyi's literary acting and Zhen Zidan's martial arts acting are both top-notch in the circle. Yang Hao did not draw any systematic acting skills, so his acting skills are definitely not as good as these two.
However, this question did not stump Yang Hao. As early as accepting Xu Xiaodan's invitation, Yang Hao had anticipated that some reporters might ask this kind of question.
After all, when Da Mimi came to Beijing Film Academy as an examiner in 2024, she was ridiculed for her acting skills. With this precedent, Yang Hao will definitely make preparations early.
Yang Hao smiled and took two steps forward, holding the microphone and said: "Teacher Zhang Fengyi's literary acting and teacher Zhen Zidan's martial arts acting are both top-notch in the industry. I am definitely not as good as the two teachers in acting skills, but as everyone knows, I am not just an actor, but also a director, screenwriter, and producer."
Having said that, Yang Hao paused, glanced at the media reporters present, and then said to them: "I think no one among the media reporters present should doubt my level as a screenwriter and producer."
"Haha, no, Teacher Yang is a gold medal screenwriter in the circle and a producer worth tens of billions." Sohu and Penguin have always been on good terms with him. As soon as Yang Hao finished speaking, they tactfully complimented him.
There is no need to say much about Yang Hao's screenwriting skills. Among the many movies and TV series produced by Yang Hao, most of them were written by him himself, which has been proven countless times in the circle.
No one can discredit our ironclad achievements.
"As a director, screenwriter, and producer, I personally decided on the main roles in many hit movies and TV series. I discovered Zhao Liying and Shen Teng, and everyone can see how they are doing in the industry now."
"Beijing Film Academy invited me to be an examiner so that I can stand in the perspective of director, screenwriter and producer and help them screen talents."
"Teacher Zhang Fengyi, Teacher Zhen Zidan and I each have our own division of labor. Teacher Zhang Fengyi selects talents from the perspective of literary drama, Teacher Zhen Zidan selects talents from the perspective of martial arts drama, and I select talents from the perspective of director, screenwriter, and producer. The three of us form a complementary relationship."
"Pa pa pa", Yang Hao's words were very appropriate, which immediately attracted applause from the media reporters.
Xu Xiaodan, who was standing at the back, was also happy to hear Yang Hao's appropriate answer. She was really proud of Yang Hao, who was so outstanding.
The media continued to ask questions, but the questions were not as sharp as before and were all easier to answer.
For example: "What do you think about being a teacher at Beijing Film Academy today?"
"What would you like to say to this year's candidates?"
“Will you invite celebrities to be examiners next year?”
……
Most media reporters are very good at dealing with people and they ask questions that will not offend anyone.
The interview lasted for more than forty minutes.
After lunch, it should have been time for a nap, but Yang Hao was full of energy and had no desire to sleep at all, so he put on a mask and a baseball cap and strolled around the Beijing Film Academy campus, reminiscing about his past youth.
Sitting on a chair under the shade of a tree, looking at the candidates in groups of three or four not far away, feeling the rich campus atmosphere, the full breath of youth is blowing in my face.
This made Yang Hao sigh: "Although I have only been in the entertainment industry for two or three years, the innocence of my student days is long gone."
"Huh?" Guan Xiaotong looked at the familiar figure sitting on a lounge chair not far away with a look of surprise.
"The back of this person seems to be Yang Hao?" Guan Xiaotong stared at the figure on the lounge chair, as if trying to identify him carefully.
"Teacher Yang Hao?" With the mentality of giving it a try without any loss, Guan Xiaotong walked straight towards Yang Hao and called out softly.
Yang Hao was still reminiscing about his youthful days when he suddenly heard someone calling him from behind.
I turned my head subconsciously and saw Guan Xiaotong walking towards me with a pair of long legs.
"Guan Xiaotong," Yang Hao greeted.
Hearing Yang Hao's voice, Guan Xiaotong was now completely sure that the man in front of her was Yang Hao. Thinking of how she had unexpectedly met Yang Hao at Beijing Film Academy, Guan Xiaotong's face suddenly flushed with excitement.
"Teacher Yang Hao, you still remember my name?" She and Yang Hao should have only met once during the interview in the morning. Yang Hao was an examiner for the art exam, and there were at least dozens of people interviewed in the morning. She really didn't expect that Yang Hao could actually remember her name.
"Of course I remember you. You performed so well, how could I forget you?" Yang Hao said with a smile.
Of course what Yang Hao said was false. The reason why he remembered Guan Xiaotong was because she was also quite famous in her previous life, especially her pair of long legs, which were very famous in the entertainment industry.
The name of "leg beauty" is not called for nothing.
What stabs you in the back is not necessarily a knife, kneeling on the ground is not necessarily begging for mercy, shouting heartbreakingly is not necessarily a grievance, what rises in the morning is not necessarily the sun, what shines on your face is not necessarily the sunshine, what has bulging veins is not necessarily an arm, and what enters you at night is not necessarily a dream.
And one last sentence: what a man carries on his shoulders is not necessarily responsibility.
The resistance may be...
Today is the art exam, and Guan Xiaotong is wearing flat shoes, which is such a pity. If she had worn Valentino, it would have been perfect.
Guan Xiaotong is 172cm tall and has legs that are 108cm long. If she wears a pair of Valentino shoes, her legs will be longer than her life.
These legs are really not suitable for walking, they should be suitable for use.
Guan Xiaotong saw Yang Hao's occasional downward glances.
Guan Xiaotong knew that Yang Hao must be looking at her long legs, but she didn't feel embarrassed about it. Instead, she took two steps forward, came to Yang Hao's side, and sat directly on the deck chair, with her legs together like a lady. Because her calves were too long, she could only lean to one side, but Guan Xiaotong chose to lean her calves against Yang Hao's side, tightly against Yang Hao's suit pants.
"This?" Guan Xiaotong's behavior made Yang Hao a little stunned.
Is it because she has been exposed to the entertainment industry since she was a child that makes her so bold?
She should have just graduated from high school. When I first entered Beijing Film Academy, at least when I was a freshman, my thoughts were not as unrestrained as they are now.
How old is Guan Xiaotong this year?
It seems to be born in 97, so he should be about 18 years old, right?
Thinking that she might be 18 years old soon, Yang Hao began to get excited.
"Teacher Yang Hao, is your company still signing artists?" Guan Xiaotong asked in a delicate voice while sitting next to Yang Hao.
"You want to sign with my company?" Yang Hao asked in surprise.
It is very easy for a child star like Guan Xiaotong to sign a contract with an agency. With her conditions, she will most likely be signed if she sends her resume directly to Yu Li. There is no need for her to act like this to please herself.
"Teacher Yang Hao, I want to register my studio under your company's name," Guan Xiaotong stated her purpose at this time.
Guan Xiaotong's words brought back Yang Hao's memories. In her previous life, Guan Xiaotong established the Shanghai Guan Xiaotong Film and Television Culture Studio right after she was admitted to the Beijing Film Academy. She never signed a contract with any agency and had been working alone in the entertainment industry.
If I remember correctly, Guan Xiaotong's transformation into a child star was not very smooth, and her resources were not very good. It was only thanks to her relationship with Lu Han that her resources gradually improved.
At that time, Lu Han was not as famous as he is in later generations, so Guan Xiaotong naturally did not get close to him.
Instead of leaning towards Lu Han, he set his sights on himself?
And now that Lu Han has been tricked by herself into acting in a bad movie, it seems that Guan Xiaotong will never have any relationship with Lu Han again in the future.
However, Guan Xiaotong is affiliated with a studio. Does this mean that she doesn't want to be constrained by herself, but also wants to use her own resources?
With Yang Hao in control of the system, it is very easy for him to make money in the entertainment industry.
Others care about monetary benefits, but I really don’t care about these things. As long as it can provide myself with enough emotional value, I will give up some benefits.
It depends on whether Guan Xiaotong can do it?
"Xiaotong, how old are you now?" Yang Hao withdrew his gaze from her long legs and changed the subject to ask an irrelevant question.
"How old?" Yang Hao's question made Guan Xiaotong feel confused.
This topic jumps too much. Weren't we just talking about the studio's affiliation? Why did he suddenly ask me how old I am?
What does your age have to do with the company you are affiliated with?
"September 97, 9." Although she didn't quite understand why, Guan Xiaotong still answered honestly.
When Yang Hao heard Guan Xiaotong's date of birth, he silently calculated in his mind that she would be 18 years old by the time Beijing Film Academy started.
It’s better to wait.
"Okay, then let's wait until you, Xiaotong, are admitted to the Beijing Film Academy, and then we can talk about the company's affiliation. Now the most important thing for you is to focus on the art exams and the college entrance examination, and don't be distracted." Yang Hao looked like he was doing this for her own good, asking her to focus on her studies.
"Okay then, Teacher Yang," Yang Hao said to this point, and Guan Xiaotong had no choice but to agree.
After adding Yang Hao on WeChat and exchanging phone numbers, Guan Xiaotong left happily.
Although the purpose of affiliating with the studio was not achieved, Yang Hao did not seem to refuse.
I just don’t know why we have to wait until Beijing Film Academy starts to discuss the company’s affiliation?
Is it really for your own good? You don't want to be distracted and focus on your studies?
From the conversation with Yang Hao, Guan Xiaotong could clearly feel that Yang Hao was very satisfied with her. From the tone of his conversation, Guan Xiaotong felt that it should be easy to negotiate affiliation with the company. But she didn't know why the other party suddenly changed his mind when he heard her age?
Especially Yang Hao’s ambiguous smile just now, which made Guan Xiaotong always feel that he was hinting at something?
"Age? Age?" Guan Xiaotong suddenly seemed to have thought of something and her face turned red.
97年9月17,等9月份北电开学,自己好像就满了18岁。
Could it be that Teacher Yang Hao wants to...
At this moment, Guan Xiaotong recalled Yang Hao's handsome face again, and her face became even redder.
He is young, handsome, talented and wealthy. If he really wants to, Guan Xiaotong thinks it is not impossible.
Yang Hao was born in 92, five years older than me, so this age is quite suitable.
Well...it really fits.
Among the 2015 class of Beijing Film Academy, the more famous young actresses are Guan Xiaotong and Zhou Ye.
I met Guan Xiaotong in the morning, and was thinking whether I could meet Zhou Ye in the afternoon, but unfortunately, my luck seemed to be bad and I did not meet her. I guess she should be in another examination room.
The day's art exam came to an end with the disappointment of not meeting Zhou Ye.
