In late February, the Shanghai Theatre Academy Art Examination

This year's enrollment at Shanghai Theatre Academy is much larger than in previous years, up about 33% from previous years.

On the one hand, it is the general trend. Beijing Film Academy and the Central Academy of Drama have similar policies to expand enrollment, so Shanghai Theatre Academy naturally has to follow suit.

On the other hand, it is also related to the good performance of students from Shanghai Theatre Academy in the past two years.

Many Shanghai Theatre Academy students, including Yang Rong, Hu Ge, Yuan Hong, Song Jia, Han Xue, and Zhang Junning, have risen to fame. Among them, Wei Yang, who became extremely popular last year, is the most popular.

You know, Wei Yang is still a senior student at the Shanghai Theatre Academy and has not graduated yet. What better ready-made recruitment advertisement is there than this?

Therefore, this year, Shanghai Theatre Academy not only expanded its enrollment, but the number of applicants for the arts examination also broke the record in all previous years, and was unprecedentedly similar to that of Beijing Film Academy and the Central Academy of Drama.

The leaders of the Shanghai Theatre Academy were almost moved to tears. After the Spring Festival, they called Wei Yang twice to discuss his admission to graduate school.

However, Wei Yang felt that he was too busy and did not have much time to study for his undergraduate degree, so it would be useless to study for a master's degree.

Moreover, he is now very famous and many people are watching him. If he does not attend classes and takes up a place, it will easily cause controversy. Anyway, he has a master's degree, so he plans to give up the postgraduate study and graduate directly after his senior year.

At present, the art examinations of the Central Academy of Drama and the Beijing Film Academy have ended, and the reporters who were still following the news have basically all headed to Shanghai.

Lao Zhang is a reporter for Sina Entertainment. One of the news topics he focused on at the beginning of this year was the college art examinations, focusing on reporting on the freshmen of the three major universities.

In fact, in previous years, most of this kind of news basically only focused on Beijing Film Academy and Central Academy of Drama. Shanghai Theatre Academy might also have media, but they were almost all local media in Shanghai. Other media might reprint it, but they would not make a special trip to visit.

This year, Shanghai Theatre Academy has a strong momentum and good data, so it has attracted the attention of various media outlets, and several of them have sent special personnel here.

Lao Zhang looked around and found that most of them were acquaintances, including Sohu, NetEase, Penguin, and several other online and print media. He had met them all before at the Beijing Film Academy and the Central Academy of Drama.

The guy from Penguin, who had eaten together before, came over to borrow a light. Lao Zhang gave him a Marlboro, and the two of them puffed smoke on the side of the road with their cameras in hand.

"Have you looked at the list? Are there any good candidates?"

"It's still the same few people. They applied to all three major schools, but the focus is still on Yang Zi and Zhang Yishan. These two are the only ones that have received some attention."

"That Qin Junjie is also a child star, he played in Curse of the Golden Flower. If someone hadn't reminded me, I wouldn't have reacted."

“…”

This year's three major school recruitment is slightly more popular than in previous years because two famous child stars have applied. These two are quite popular among the public and can allow everyone to take advantage of the popularity of "Home with Kids".

It is said that the two had originally applied to Beijing Film Academy and Central Academy of Drama, but later, seeing the momentum of Shanghai Theatre Academy, they also came to take the exam.

However, considering the two people's hometowns, if nothing unexpected happens, as long as they can get into the two schools in Beijing, Shanghai Theatre Academy will most likely be an alternative.

As the exam time approached, more and more candidates came. Looking at the crowds of young boys and girls, Lao Zhang and his friend occasionally took a few photos and couldn't help but feel emotional.

"How many of these students can make it out?"

"Who knows? It would be great if a class could have a few famous students."

Lao Zhang is a veteran entertainment reporter and is used to this. In recent years, the scale of enrollment in professional schools has become increasingly larger, and it has become increasingly difficult for newcomers to stand out.

In the early years, an acting class had only a dozen or twenty people, and more than half or even all of the graduates stayed in the industry, either as actors or doing related behind-the-scenes work.

Nowadays, it is considered very impressive if one-third of the class can work in the film and television industry. It is estimated that in a few years, this proportion will be reduced even more significantly.

"Students from professional schools will become less and less valuable in the future."

Just as Lao Zhang was sighing, he suddenly saw a Toyota Ivar nanny car parked nearby, and two girls in down jackets got out, one after the other.

“So beautiful.”

Old Zhang's eyes were fixed on the two girls. They were tall and delicate, with a ponytail and a bun respectively. They were wearing two down jackets, one black and one white. They were slim and tall, and one looked heroic and lively, while the other looked pure and sweet.

He quickly raised his camera to take a quick photo. Lao Zhang came over again and said, "My dear classmates, I'm a reporter from Sina Entertainment. Can I do an interview?"

Hearing that there were reporters, the lively girl with a ponytail and a black down jacket was eager to try, but was stopped by another girl and turned to look at a lady in a suit coming down from behind.

Liu Xingyu glared at Naza and smiled, "Sorry, we have to take the test first."

"Then we can do the interview after the exam. Here is my contact information."

Old Zhang probably realized that these two girls were not just candidates, but had probably already signed contracts with the company. Sure enough, Liu Xingyu took his business card and returned one.

[Blue Whale Films Company, agent Liu Xingyu]

Watching them walk towards the campus, Old Zhang held up the business card and thought, "Wei Yang's company? I remember someone reported that he was having dinner with two girls before."

The Penguin reporter also responded: "These are the two. I remember saying that she was very tall and pretty, and was a new artist signed by the company. Now that makes sense."

Old Zhang was very excited: "Scandal, a new student at the Shanghai Theatre Academy, the popularity has increased."

The original marketing strategy planned by Blue Whale was to find someone to take a picture of the two of them and hype them up as the most beautiful freshman or the two beauties of Xinjiang province.

As a result, because of the previous scandal, these two were exposed in advance, and now they were recognized by reporters. Liu Xingyu was not sure what to do now.

When Wei Yang heard about the incident, he thought for a moment and made arrangements immediately.

"Since there is an interview, then accept it. Don't waste the free attention. The marketing should still continue, but don't change it to something like a passerby taking a photo. Just let them upload the photo to Weibo.

Well, just say that you are taking an art exam, hoping to pass it, and get the company by the way. When the time comes, I will forward it to encourage you, and then arrange for the internet trolls to set the pace and build momentum for them according to the original marketing methods.

After the two waves of popularity are hyped up, I will have someone officially announce that the two will be starring in "Eastern Palace" to connect the popularity and heat, and strive to make the two people popular before joining the crew..."

Liu Xingyu nodded repeatedly: "Okay, President Wei, I understand, but the gossip..."

“…”

Wei Yang was silent for a moment: "I will clarify it during the interview, but if the reporter wants to lead the trend in the subsequent reports, don't bother."

For two pure amateur newcomers, what could attract more attention than having a scandal with Wei Yang, the super popular star.

"Will that affect you?"

Liu Xingyu understood very well that this matter would be very beneficial to Nazha and Rouba. No matter what their future positioning would be, the right thing to do was to become famous first. If you had no fame, no one would look at you no matter how beautiful you were.

So the scandal is an opportunity for the two newcomers to become famous, but it is hard to say for Wei Yang himself.

Too many scandals will affect the outside world’s perception of the artist.

Many famous artists don’t like to have scandals with less famous artists because the latter gain the upper hand while the former don’t get much benefit or may even suffer a loss.

With Wei Yang's current popularity, if he has a scandal with a popular young actress like Liu Shishi, the latter will benefit. Only for someone at Fan Xiaopang's level can it be considered mutually beneficial, not to mention amateurs and newcomers. If they seize the opportunity, they may become an overnight hit.

Although Liu Xingyu is Roubanaza's agent, they are tied to each other for profit and he really hopes that they can become famous.

If it were someone else, she would agree without hesitation, but Wei Yang still hesitated. After all, Wei Yang was the helmsman of Blue Whale, and his future was related to the company, so he could not be careless.

"It doesn't matter. I don't lack one or two scandals."

Since Boss Wei made his debut, he has been involved in four or five serious scandals, and the total number of other rumors is almost approaching double digits.

The public impression of him has gradually become that of a talented and romantic man. Some people even complain that he is a scumbag but loves to play the role of a lovesick man.

There have been endless debates among fans about this, but Wei Yang has not cared about it. His attitude has been very clear. He is not afraid of fans leaving him and is willing to give a hand to the two beauties of Xinjiang province.

Since Wei Yang had no objection, Liu Xingyu didn't say much. After Nazha and Rouba finished their exams, he arranged exclusive interviews with Penguin and Sina.

But all the questions were answered once, especially Naza, this girl is a little brainless.

So Liu Xingyu kept a close eye on her, fearing that she might blurt out some "explosive news", which would be very funny.

With Liu Xingyu's arrangement, the interview went smoothly. After the subsequent rounds of art exams, Liu Xingyu arranged for a photographer to take a lot of beautiful photos of the second beauty from Xinjiang Province, and then posted them on his Sina Weibo account.

Wei Yang quickly reposted this Weibo, @ed the two people, and posted an encouraging message.

[The company has just signed two Uyghur girls... They are also candidates for the Shanghai Theatre Academy this year. They are determined to pursue their dreams and make the most of their youth. I hope we can become senior and junior students in the same school. Come on! ]

Wei Yang now has 6 million followers on Weibo, and his traffic appeal is amazing. Just one Weibo post helped two people gain more than 100,000 followers in a short period of time.

Of course, it is also related to the fact that the second beauty of Xinjiang Province is very beautiful. If Wei Yang had promoted an old woman, it would not have had such a great effect.

Wei Yang’s Weibo started a series of subsequent marketing campaigns.

Various labels and gimmicks, such as Shanghai Theatre Academy candidate, Blue Whale newcomer, Xinjiang Province's second beauty, and Wei Yang's rumored girlfriend, quickly made the two people famous on the Internet.

As of early March, their Weibo followers had exceeded 300,000 and were approaching the 500,000 mark.

Many small stars who already have works do not have such a high number of fans, so popularity and appearance are always the only way to increase fans.

At this juncture, some people have actually guessed that these two are likely to star in "The East Palace". After all, the Xizhou setting in "The East Palace" is like the Western Regions, and these two actors are very suitable.

As expected, after the two beauties from Xinjiang Province had initially digested the early heat, the crew of "East Palace" dropped a big bomb.

Guli Nazha plays the female lead Qu Xiaofeng in "East Palace"!

Dilraba Dilmurat plays the second/third female maid Adu in "The East Palace"!

A newcomer who has not yet made her debut directly plays the female lead in Wei Yang's new drama. Gulinaza became famous almost overnight...
