She Only Cares About Cultivation-Chapter 1015 - 867: Super Star 41 (Second Update)
Once the funds were in place, the next step was to present the additional investment proposal, Hua Yan said to Liang An.
"Uncle, give me a week, I’ll put the proposal together for you, and then we can discuss the future direction."
Small companies with a registered capital of only ten to twenty million are everywhere in the entertainment circle, they are hardly worth mentioning. Hua Yan wanted to build up such a small company, but it was not going to be easy.
However, she had experience and knowledge from the future, and even if money was tight, as long as she had the shell of the company, she was confident she could build it up bit by bit.
After spending the entire morning securing this ten million, she leisurely shouldered her backpack and headed to class in the afternoon.
Although it was the second semester of her second year in middle school, she still didn’t live on campus or attend evening self-study sessions, and she also had to take care of Ning Hao, so on the first day, she explained her situation to the homeroom teacher and asked for leave.
The homeroom teacher stopped her and asked, "Did you watch the English competition during the winter break?"
Hua Yan froze, then awkwardly scratched her head, "No, teacher, I forgot."
"You could forget that? You don’t know how well it went, the high school department noticed you, next year you can enter Beijing University High School department without exams, and at that time you’ll participate in more airport English competitions."
Upon hearing this, Hua Yan was initially hesitant, but couldn’t afford to overthink it. She regretfully told the homeroom teacher.
"Teacher, you might be disappointed, after graduating from third grade, I plan to take the Central Music Academy Affiliated High School entrance exam. In the future, I might pursue the professional path. Though I haven’t participated in any competitions, I have passed Level 10 amateur exams and have been learning piano with a Piano Department teacher at the Central Music College for two years. Entrance is not an issue, and during high school, I’ll participate in music competitions to enrich my resume, aiming to get accepted in a year."
The homeroom teacher knew Hua Yan played the piano very well, but didn’t expect her to play this well, even Central Music College was competing for students, it was hard to accept: "Yanyan, with your grades, unless something goes seriously wrong, you can get into a 985 college easily, why choose a 211 project music academy?"
Compared to 985, who would choose 211?
Nonetheless, Hua Yan was determined: "Sorry, teacher, learning the piano is my mother’s wish. My mother graduated from Beijing University; she’s very accomplished. Although I want to get into Beijing University, between music and Beijing University, I can only choose one. Central Music is my final choice, please understand."
The homeroom teacher was still regretful, Hua Yan suddenly looked at the homeroom teacher: "I wonder if I can take the Middle School Entrance Examination this year?"
The homeroom teacher suspected a problem with his hearing: "What do you mean? Skipping grades to enter high school?"
Hua Yan thought for a moment, then smiled awkwardly: "Sort of, if I can enter high school sooner, that would be best, is it possible?"
"Well, I’ll have to ask the school about it, I haven’t experienced this before, you wait for my message."
After leaving the teacher’s office, Hua Yan pursed her lips, based on her experience, she should be able to take the Middle School Entrance Examination, which meant she could enter the graduation class to review in the second semester, and that she could graduate middle school a year early?
With this plan, she felt it was necessary to consolidate the third-grade content early.
Although the thought came suddenly, she felt the tasks she needed to complete in the future were too many, if she could skip grades, skipping was preferable, thus saving time for other things.
That same night, she returned home, bought a batch of third-grade materials online, and found related directories, relaxing after a look, since these questions were not very challenging for her, having taken several college entrance exams, the third-grade questions were much easier.
The homeroom teacher didn’t make her wait too long, on the first day of formal schooling during the big break, called her to the office.
"You can skip a grade, but you need to take an exam first, as long as you pass, you can directly enter the graduation class, but child, are you sure you want to do this?"
Hua Yan nodded, "Yes, teacher, I want to graduate earlier because the difficulty of practicing piano in high school will be greater."
High school is originally very intense, at Central Music Academy, they still need to set aside half a day to practice piano, with such intense time for reviewing coursework, there surely isn’t enough time, though the teacher didn’t understand, once Hua Yan said it, the teacher could only wish her good luck.
Under the arrangement of the homeroom teacher, Hua Yan went to the third-grade office of the school principal on Saturday morning, where she spent the morning completing a set of third-grade test papers brought out by the teacher, covering all subjects.
Originally thought she couldn’t finish in a morning, but surprisingly, Hua Yan not only finished but did so before lunch.
For the English test paper, including listening and written exams, she spent half an hour, mainly delayed by listening, otherwise she could have finished in fifteen minutes.
Chinese, including the essay, took an hour.
All other subjects combined took two and a half hours, totaling four hours, starting from 8 AM and finishing by noon. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎
Though the schedule was tight, the neat handwriting made the teacher awestruck, her handwriting was already pretty, even if she wrote quickly and sloppily, it still seemed like a copybook, raising the teacher’s impression of her considerably.
After the exam, they let her go home and wait for the news, which would likely determine her future by Monday.
According to her knowledge, middle school exam subjects included: Chinese (120 points), Math (120 points), Foreign Language (120 points), Physics (100 points), Chemistry (80 points), Physical Education (40 points, including 30 points for on-site exams and 10 points for process assessment, total score being 580 points, not including add/subtract points).
After dinner and homework, Ning Hao led F and M home, while she entered the space to write, practice piano, do yoga, exercise, and start drafting the plan for Liang An.
In fact, the content of the plan mainly involved signing artists, buying works, and then finding investors to make TV dramas. While investing in movies requires larger funds, has a high return rate, and short cycles, their current company is only suitable for investment, not ready to try it. They need to wait for the company to get bigger and stronger before selectively investing, as she knows which movie will sell, which won’t, and similarly for TV scripts.
This was her initial plan, seemingly simple, but actually requiring a considerable time setup to carry it out.
Furthermore, one to two million investments could hardly make a splash, so she might truly get to the point of selling houses in the future.
Moreover, online novels declined after 2017, and it’s uncertain whether she would have time to juggle this.
For now, these are the main components of her plans.
But directly handing this plan to Liang An wouldn’t work, because Liang An didn’t know her ability to foresee the future, to know who will become popular, which piece will become popular, which movie will explode, so writing it simply is one thing, but truly implementing it as something concrete requires her explanation.
According to Liang An, the biggest star in the company is Ling Yao, but Ling Yao wanted to retire from the circle. If Ling Yao left, the company’s other people likely won’t rise up or break out, so she must think of a way to keep him.
