69. The market does not need talent, as long as the enrollment rate
Lao Cao drove an extremely ordinary Fukang hatchback, which was very different from the bold imported car of Mao Dongyang before. His driving style was also extremely stable and peaceful. He spoke like him: "How do you feel about the current admissions examinations for art colleges?"
This is the most popular thing Wan Chengsheng followed Lao Cao to a bar when he went to a bar. Lao Tong and his group took the lead in defaming various admissions exams, which is one of the main topics.
So Wan Changsheng didn't think it was a test of himself. He also thought: "Last time I heard what they said in the bar... I didn't feel it deeply. In fact, before I came here to find you to take the Academy of Fine Arts, I didn't know that there were such colleges and universities, systems and reforms, and I didn't understand or are interested. But this time I went out to give lectures, I had a feeling that I didn't know whether it was accurate or not."
Lao Cao nodded: "You said."
Wan Changsheng did not follow Du Wen’s reminder: “The number of people training in Damei is not large, and more than 200 people feels not obvious. However, when I went to the training institution built in Fujian this time, I felt particularly clear. In the huge classroom of thousands of people, everyone was basically carved out of the same mold, but the degree is different. There is no question of the difference in style. Almost all of them are looking at what is best. In the guidance and teaching, including me, they try to find the best plan to meet the exam to summarize and get closer. In the past, when I only taught Du Wen alone, I didn’t think that the tutors who taught Damei had not yet seen the results, but in front of so many people, I found that they had become a climate. I just vaguely felt that something was wrong with this, but I couldn’t tell the details.”
Lao Cao's little eyes lit up: "Standard parts, right? This is the standard test product cultivated to cope with the exam. Is it like this?"
Wan Changsheng nodded violently: "Yes, yes, that's what it means. I personally disgusted the test test. When I graduated from high school, the college entrance examination score was pretty good, but I just disgusted... Hehe, I didn't have any idea of taking the college entrance examination at that time. I mainly thought that I had seen through the model of the imperial examination in the countryside and stayed at home in a terrible state."
Lao Cao smiled: "Not everyone has the confidence to stay at home... Let's put it this way, the Academy of Fine Arts used to have an affiliated high school, which recruited children who showed artistic talent since childhood. They started to train them after graduating from junior high school. Generally speaking, it is a bit like you who enter the art path early like you. For example, Zhao Leilei and Lao Tong, well, that day you saw more than half of them grew up from the affiliated high school. I didn't know that there was an affiliated high school that year, but this road was abolished more than ten or twenty years ago."
Wan Changsheng was surprised: "Why?"
Lao Cao explained: "The artistic achievement rate of the affiliated high school is quite high, and it is very difficult to get the exam. Now there are ten to one and dozens to one admission rate. The admission rate of the affiliated high school is usually two to three hundred to one. Those who can recruit are indeed good seedlings with talented art early on. However, children with extraordinary artistic talent often have a problem that is that they are biased towards subjects. In a stage similar to high school, they have begun to impact the personality of the art field, and their cultural scores will definitely fall behind those of ordinary high schools. After all, they have to spend more than half of their time investing in professional fields, which is different from high school students who only focus on studying culture and face the college entrance examination. So when they stand in front of the college entrance examination with ordinary high school students, they have extremely high professional scores, but the passing rate of the college entrance examination is very low. This leads to many good seedlings in affiliated high schools who cannot be admitted to the college entrance examination."
Wan Changsheng was stunned: "Will this be like this?"
Lao Cao nodded: "This is the reality. All the students in the top professional art exams are among the students at the Affiliated High School. Their professional pass rate is basically 100%, but only 50% or even 20 to 30% pass the college entrance examination. So, as parents, are willing to send their children to the Affiliated High School? Moreover, since more than ten years ago, art schools have become hot topics for applying for the exam. Intensive tutoring in various training schools can target the professional gap in a short period of time, and the existence of the Affiliated High School is getting smaller and smaller."
Wan Changsheng never thought of such a thing: "What about that?"
Lao Cao shook his head: "The affiliated high school was cancelled more than 10 and 20 years ago. Because it cannot recruit students, almost all art schools have been recruited from short-term training through training schools. Any child who is interested in art does not need to learn in advance. Instead, learning early affects culture or goes on the wrong path and is prone to bad things. He started short-term training in the first grade of high school in winter and summer vacations, and then increased the density of weekend training in the second year of high school, and strengthened the attack for the third year of high school in half a year. Finally, he went back to take the college entrance examination. Such a piece of white paper is easy to paint. Even when he started to learn and make efforts has become a standard process. In addition to your abnormality... Well, there is also Xiao Du."
Wan Changsheng then suddenly realized: "No wonder the cram school students in the training school have similar levels, so they all seem to be carved from the same mold."
Lao Cao smiled: "But art is not a standard piece. Students trained by this short-term reinforcement attack will appear insufficient even after entering university. Of course, the best among them can still stand out. However, Zhao Leilei knew what he wanted to do before entering university, and it was almost extinct. You are the only similar one we have seen in the past ten years."
Wan Changsheng woke up from a dream: "No wonder Teacher Su said that it is not easy to find people who are young and have a certain skill in sketching. Maybe this is the reason?"
Lao Cao nodded: "In order to save the affiliated high school, I thought of many ways to be admitted to the top students of the affiliated high school, reduce the difficulty of the college entrance examination, etc., but this will create some inside information about the disadvantages of recruitment, so it is meaningless to blindly criticize the system or admissions model. People with wisdom will find ways to promote changes under the current situation. This is the original intention of several school teachers in the past few years to jointly build the Damei Training School, and explore whether there are any ways to improve it."
Wan Changsheng already knew the answer: "What's the result?"
Lao Cao looked at him: "We have strong professors and teachers, so we have advantages in top students. But in this era, what we want is the rate of admission and success. Parents will not listen to any promises and have more potential in the future. What they want is to be admitted to the Academy of Fine Arts immediately, now, immediately, immediately, so making money cannot be our main purpose, right?"
Wan Changsheng smiled: "You are so stylish."
Lao Cao confirmed: "How is it? My purpose is to let you try it. On the premise of ensuring the admission rate, you should try to guide and develop the talent of cram students. After all, for such things, I can't spend a lot of money to invite Zhao Leilei to do it. I also have to draw and have my own teaching tasks in college. As long as you get into college, you should think it is work-study, come here to lead the class every week and weekend, and be familiar with the situation properly. Generally speaking, it is to assist me as an assistant. Don't you have to spend money when you fall in love?"
Wan Changsheng was indeed cunning: "I dare not fully agree to you to come to teach the class every weekend. I am sure that I am more interested in walking around by teaching. But you take care of me like this and introduce me to cooperate with Teacher Su. I will definitely do it with all my strength. Originally, I didn't have too many expectations for college, but now I find that teaching cram school is really interesting. I will try it first, instead of patting my chest but can't do it. I can?"
Lao Cao smiled and nodded: "Okay, I said that it won't delay your money. I have to think about how to use the banner to extend the age range as much as possible. It's very troublesome to recruit students. You think you're walking in by yourself like you and Xiao Du."
Wan Changsheng casually said: "I think Teacher Su's teaching and publishing model is good, he said this is called personal packaging."
Old Cao was thinking, but raised his eyes but pointed at the roadside: "Okay, I won't delay you anymore, it's really rare..."
Wan Changsheng had already seen it. Just on the bright curbs in front of various restaurants across the road opposite the Creative Park, around 10 o'clock was the most lively and noisy time for various restaurants. In front of the boiling background, Du Wen's figure wearing a black jacket and a black mask, looking forward to it must have left a deep impression on both artists.
It is precisely because artists have this keen perception that they create art.
