China Entertainment started from Nortel 96

Chapter 63 Asking the school for help

While Yan Danchen was being praised by everyone in the class, Qi Wei was discussing the matter with his head teacher Cui Xinqin.

Teacher Cui Xinqin looked at Qi Wei with a smile, showing an expression of relief and satisfaction.

She still vividly remembers the situation when Qi Wei took the art exam.

You must know that Qi Wei had never been exposed to acting before the art exam. His dull performance during the art exam was once criticized by the teacher who was the art exam examiner at the time as a "beautiful piece of wood".

It was Teacher Cui Xinqin who took a liking to him and made Qi Wei pass the art exam and become a student in Class 96 of Nortel against all odds.

The almost perfect external conditions made Qi Wei one of the four most promising people in her class of 96, and one of her "four favorite generals".

As for the other three, you should be able to guess them.

Qi Wei has achieved quite a lot now, which makes Teacher Cui Xinqin feel even more proud.

"You used the money you earned from records to set up a film and television company?"

"Yes, teacher."

"Yes, it seems that I haven't forgotten my original intention."

The solo album "Nineteen Years Old" was a huge hit and it was soaring all the way. Qi Wei has indeed achieved great success in his music career that is hard to match.

But as a teacher of the acting class, Cui Xinqin still hopes that Qi Wei can achieve something in the film and television career.

I am even more satisfied with Qi Wei’s teacher Cui Xinqin who “returned evil and returned to righteousness”.

Teacher Cui continued: "Running a film and television company is a very troublesome thing. I can understand the difficulties you encounter. I will definitely try my best to help you. I will help you communicate with the school about this matter and try to get it for you.

A satisfactory result.”

It has been almost two months since Qi Wei's film and television company was registered. After starting to operate the company, Qi Wei discovered two troublesome problems.

The first problem is that I can't get a filming permit.

This year, the film and television industry has undergone further reforms. The Radio, Film and Television Administration announced that "state-owned provincial units and prefecture-level units with relevant corresponding conditions, TV stations, TV drama production units, etc. can apply to the Film Bureau for a single-film shooting license.

"After this policy, the participation of private capital in film and television production was guaranteed.

This means that before this, if you wanted to make a film or television drama, you had to cooperate with the corresponding film studio or TV station production unit.

The producers are from these units, so you have to cut a big piece of meat to make a film or television drama.

But now, as long as you obtain a filming permit, you can bypass these units and shoot the film yourself, with a lot less obstruction.

This is why film and television companies started in mainland China have sprung up like mushrooms since 1997.

But here comes the problem.

Originally, it was the right of these film studios and television production units to produce films and TV series. This policy is equivalent to reducing the rights of these units.

Not to mention that it is difficult for ordinary people to obtain a film and television shooting license. Even if you obtain it, if you do not cooperate with the corresponding units, your film and television drama will encounter many obstacles from review to distribution to release.

It is impossible to eat alone without cutting off the meat.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, private film and television companies will still cooperate with corresponding units.

Although it is now easier for private film and television companies to obtain film and television shooting licenses, it is still difficult for Qi Wei's film and television company to obtain a film and television shooting license.

The reason is very simple. Not everyone can talk about it, and not everyone can be "patriotic".

Qi Wei is just starting out in the film and television industry and has no connections in this area at all.

I can't find anyone who can help.

I can only ask the school for help.

Over the years since its establishment, Nortel has exported many talents to relevant units.

The accumulated personal connections are very leveraged. Issues that are difficult for Qi Wei, such as film and television shooting licenses, are not a problem at all for Nortel.

There is another problem, that is, Qi Wei's film and television company is currently having difficulty recruiting outstanding film and television talents.

When opening a film and television company, film and television talents behind the scenes are also very important.

The reason is also very simple, that is, Qi Wei is too young.

Qi Wei is not yet 20 years old, and he is just a student in the performance department of Nortel. His achievements are in the music career, and he has not proven himself in the film and television industry.

The film and television industry is very deep. Not everyone can open a film and television company. You see, Liu Tianwang has been in the film and television industry for so many years and has rich experience and connections. In the end, he lost all his pants when he opened a film and television company. He spent a lot of money.

It took several years to pay off the debt.

Although Qi Wei made some money by releasing records, this money is nothing in the film and television industry.

Hundreds and tens of millions, not even a big water pipe.

A good bird chooses the right tree to roost. How can we recruit excellent film and television talents under such circumstances?

Even Qi Wei's current MV director Wu Ershan only made a tentative promise after hesitating for a long time when he had run out of good things to say.

Not to mention everyone else.

Excellent film and television talents are never short of good places to go, and they are unwilling to pay high prices to poach them, and ordinary ones are not cost-effective, so Qi Wei's film and television company has not been able to recruit enough outstanding talents so far.

You know, Qi Wei's film and television company is still only engaged in film and television investment, and it does not require many film and television talents.

Under this situation, we have not recruited enough talents. If it involves film and television shooting and distribution in the future, the number of talents needed will be even greater.

This is why Qi Wei wants to train Li Xiaoran to be a producer and Yan Danchen to study film and television management.

There is a shortage of people!

Be prepared for a rainy day.

Everything is difficult at the beginning, and now Qi Wei has experienced it firsthand.

Qi Wei's company lacks film and television talents behind the scenes, but Nortel itself is cultivating talents in this field.

If the school is willing to help, even if the school only acts as a lobbyist to help relieve students' concerns, it can easily solve Qi Wei's lack of talent problem.

When looking for a school, Qi Wei must have found the right person.

But the question is whether Qi Wei is worth Nortel's help.

"Did you know that the number of candidates applying for Nortel this time is twice as many as yours?" Teacher Cui Xinqin suddenly said.

"Ah, this is a good thing."

Teacher Cui Xinqin said with a smile: "You should know the process of the art exam. Let me tell you an interesting story. When the examiners asked the candidates why they applied for Nortel this year, do you know what some students said?"

Qi Wei shook his head. Teacher Cui Xinqin patted Qi Wei on the shoulder and looked at him and smiled: "They applied for Nortel because of you. They are your fans and want to be your juniors. There are more than one."

This is the reason why candidates want to become students of the Department of Acting..."

There were so many candidates who applied for Nortel this year, and they steadily outnumbered Zhongxi. Although a large part of it was because of Qi Wei, this made Teacher Cui Xinqin feel proud.

You must know that last year in Qiwei's class of 1996, two candidates passed the art exams of Nortel and China Opera at the same time. In the end, they both chose China Opera. This made Teacher Cui Xinqin depressed for a long time.

"So that's it, it's my honor." Qi Wei also laughed.

"Several of the candidates admitted this year are your fans, so the school hopes to give them a demonstration during the initial examination for freshmen..."

There is a rule for new students entering the Nortel Performance Department, which is to demonstrate their talents. This is called the initial examination.

If they want Qi Wei to give a demonstration, that is to ask Qi Wei to sing a few songs in front of them.

"No problem, I'm obligated."

Qi Wei smiled and said, Qi Wei immediately agreed to such a small request.

"Another point is that if you have the ability, you should try your best to support as many people in your school as you can. Do you understand?" Teacher Cui finally reminded.
