And so, the two of them, arm in arm with Shen Fang, arrived at the welcome party. It was an outdoor stage with some performances, mostly singing and dancing. Shen Fang didn't like watching the male performers, but he could watch the female ones. A few of them caught Shen Fang's attention: Dong Xuan and Che Xiao from the class of 2000, and then Ma Su and Yao Di from the class of 2001 who danced with Huang Shengyi.
To be honest, when Shen Fang heard the names of these women, he exclaimed, "Good heavens!" Apart from Dong Xuan, who had no scandals, there was Ma, a brothel madam, Bai Jinxiao, and Yao Xiaosan. One after another, how could they only produce this kind of trash? He was utterly speechless. Shen Fang inadvertently discovered a secret: he had already encountered five mistresses today—one a cult leader, one a brothel madam.
Shen Fang then performed a song, "Nunchucks." He was so cool he stunned the audience, winning the Best Performance award and thus gaining limited spousal rights.
Liu Qianqian and Xiong Naixin cheered for Shen Fang from below. After stepping off the stage, Shen Fang received praise from the two, and Xiong Naixin even excitedly kissed Shen Fang.
Liu Tianxian's face immediately turned ugly.
"Xiong Naixin, have you forgotten what you promised me?"
Xiong Naixin was speechless upon hearing this... This little girl is so annoying!!!
"I'm so sorry, fairy, I was wrong, okay? I won't do it again next time."
Liu Tianxian gave a soft snort upon hearing the apology.
Jiang Yiyan, who was standing to the side, looked surprised and a cold glint in her eyes when she saw this scene.
Damn it, someone beat me to it!
Sitting not far away, Song Jia also had a resentful look on her face.
Bian Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "Don't be angry. If you really want to have a relationship with Shen Fang, the best thing to do is to get on good terms with Liu Tianxian. Didn't you see how Liu Tianxian gave that girl a hard time just now? The girl even apologized. This shows that Shen Fang listens to Liu Tianxian. If you want to win him over, all you need to do is get on Liu Tianxian's good side."
Upon hearing this, Song Jia looked at Bian Xiaoxiao with a puzzled expression.
"You don't like Chen Fang?"
Bian Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "It's not that I don't like him. I know I'm not good enough for him. Besides, he's not an ordinary person. The watch he accidentally showed today is worth more than 1.2 million. He's a rich kid. Someone like me with average looks shouldn't embarrass myself. If you're willing, I can help you."
Song Jia nodded: "Don't tell Huang Shengyi about Shen Fang's considerable wealth."
Bian Xiaoxiao nodded: "No problem, but if you get any benefits, Jia-jie, you'd better think of me later."
Song Jia nodded: "No problem."
Wang Hui waited until the end of the party before he went on stage to speak.
"Seeing everyone in the audience exuding such fresh and enthusiastic youthful energy reminds me of myself 30 years ago, but more importantly, I see a future full of infinite possibilities for Chinese films. We are the future."
"I love the film academy because it is the dreamland for us to cultivate ourselves and pursue our studies; I love the film academy because it is the wonderful stage for us to practice what we preach; I love the film academy because it is the spiritual home for us to pursue our dreams."
"To learn about film, one must first learn to be a good person. Strive to improve one's character and cultivation, and become a filmmaker with both virtue and talent."
We must strive for excellence, put it into practice, and be down-to-earth, starting from the smallest things! Does our school train stars? I don't think so. I believe our school trains film workers who are rooted in the people. And I, we, are also part of that…”
Wang Hui delivered a rambling speech, giving the freshmen a lesson and a much-needed boost of morale. The students excitedly recited the Beijing Film Academy's motto along with Wang Hui.
After it was over, Wang Hui smiled and looked at everyone.
"Today, I would like to thank a few people, namely Shen Fang. Shen Fang has donated a total of 11 million yuan to Beijing Film Academy on two separate occasions to improve our campus facilities and environment. Please welcome Shen Fang to the stage."
Xiong Naixin, who was sitting next to Shen Fang, was completely stunned!
Jiang Yiyan's mouth dropped open in surprise, and she instantly felt even more vehemently opposed to Xiong Naixin!
Shen Fang's classmates were also stunned. Song Jia cursed inwardly! Huang Shengyi's eyes lit up.
Upon hearing this, Bai Jinxiao stared directly at Chen Fang, as if he were a moving gold mine. Wasn't this exactly what she had been searching for?!
Madam Ma, Yao Di, and the others were also staring at Shen Fang, each with their own thoughts.
Shen Fang went on stage and picked up the microphone.
"Hello everyone, I'm Shen Fang. Regarding the donation to Beijing Film Academy, it's simply a way for me to give back. As long as it helps alumni improve their living and learning environments, that's enough. We'll discuss this privately with Longteng Media..."
Shen Fang ran a 10-minute advertisement, letting the alumni of Beijing Film Academy know his name: "Song Gongming of Beijing Film Academy." He said, "If you have any problems, come to him and he'll solve them for you. Money is no object." He also promoted Longteng Media Company's recruitment drive, saying, "This money can't be wasted, or you'll really be a sucker. Everything you eat, drink, and use is given to you by me, Shen Fang. You must remember my kindness. When I raise my voice, you must respond, or you'll be ungrateful."
After being brainwashed by Yu Chenfang, his prestige reached its peak. What a joke! In the entertainment industry, money talks. Besides, this is only 2002. 11 million is worth more than 100 million in 2023.
It's fair to say that if Shen Fang were to rally the crowd now, a whole bunch of Beijing Film Academy students would follow. Beijing Film Academy students start interacting with people in the real world as early as their sophomore year – this is about networking and building connections. For girls, if someone's got connections, that's fine; otherwise, they'll have to go out and entertain clients to try and find opportunities. For boys, those with connections have senior students who can recommend them; those without have to pay to pull strings. They're much more pragmatic than students at other universities, so they all understand the allure of money. That's just how realistic they are.
