Reaching the age of thirty, my income randomly doubled

And when Tengying's resources couldn't be distributed to everyone, that's when they had to go out and fight for resources themselves.

With no background and no family financial support,

In such circumstances, if your acting skills are just as expressionless as those with deadpan faces,

Then where can your future path lie?

He even put it more bluntly, some girls might think, "I'm pretty, I'm open-minded, I can get resources by sleeping with directors and investors."

Chen Pingsheng directly answered their question: before you become famous, if you want to obtain industry resources by this method, you're not even as good as a chicken.

At least a chicken gets paid a few hundred bucks after being slept with.

But if you were slept with, people would just ridicule you for wishful thinking.

It's that realistic, without top-tier background, you must endure hardships beyond everyone else's capability.

If you can't even do that, you might as well leave early.

Zhao Liying's example is right there, an extra for five years, never stopping in her quest to improve herself.

When the opportunity came, she seized it immediately.

That's how one can become the unique existence of a drama queen.

It's just to say reality is cruel, Tengying Art School is not their sanctuary.

It's rather an elite art school filled with modern-day rules.

Its elimination is calculated by the month.

If you want to waste your time on romance, carry a bucket and discuss it outside.

Who can fight their way through this is unknown to anyone.

But what's certain is, those who stay until the end will definitely turn from ugly ducklings into swans in the future.

Tengying Entertainment has that strength.

It also has the confidence that it needs you to first stand out from thousands of ugly ducklings.

If you can't manage that, then don't expect resources to fall on your head.

Daydreaming doesn't even come close to describing it.

The teachers, including professors, are uniformly top-paid experts; without resources in their hands, don't expect these teachers to pull strings for you.

So, only ability can do justice to your youth.

Compared to the training academies like Water Cloud Space and Fei Yangyang,

The Tengying Entertainment art school is downright devilish.

They recruit a thousand people every month and eliminate a thousand people every month.

It's that extreme.

If you don't crack the whip behind them, they truly would believe that anyone can casually enter the entertainment industry,

And even become big stars by competing for resources instead of acting talent.

To put it bluntly, at least ninety percent of the stars in the industry think this way.

This results in countless potential leads being reduced to expressionless faces acting out entire movies.

Even if the audience wants to criticize, they don't know who to blame.

When it comes to the opening of Water Cloud Space University, it still receives social acclaim.

After all, it truly offers academic support and provides a clear path for thousands of rural girls to the big cities.

But the opening of Tengying Entertainment's Huadu University, that really resulted in a chorus of criticism.

There wasn't a single university in the country that eliminated students like this.

It can be said that as long as students don't make big mistakes, no matter what, they could complete those three years as expected.

Tengying Entertainment is different though, they don't care whether you make mistakes or not, if your performance in the end-of-month contest is not up to par, then you will be eliminated.

The naked rules of capitalism would ruthlessly strike you in the face.

As soon as the news broke out, those who originally had thoughts of applying to Tengying Art School simply disappeared in droves.

The remaining many keyboard warriors constantly cursed online.

The gist was that of ruthless capitalists,

Setting up a university with such a brutal elimination system, questioning whether they even want people to attend.

No matter the controversy online, Chen Pingsheng wouldn't change his decision because of it.

His influence was growing daily, with countless influential figures wanting to see him every day.

He still took out seven days to stay at the not-yet-opened Tengying Art School.

The purpose, naturally, was to establish learning rules.

He could open the door to the entertainment industry for rural students, but they also needed to fight their way out of the masses.

Until they become the most dazzling star.

The path in the entertainment industry has never been easy.

Kindness cannot wield soldiers, and righteousness cannot handle wealth; such sayings have been around since ancient times.

With the opening of Tengying Art School, Tengying's short dramas also began to officially launch.

This meant that Tengying Entertainment had developed a short drama video platform, in addition to the existing film and television drama industries.

What the future held, no one knew.

At least for now, it had quietly launched, relying on these five thousand students.

It was hard to say when, but Tengying Entertainment's reach had already extended deep into various industries. Stay connected with empire

There was a sense of being all-conquering.

And now, thousands of acres of land were being used for not one, but two universities.

The influence was unrivaled.

By the time I returned to Magic City, it was already September 20th.

The TikTok short videos were quietly launched, and no one had yet realized that this was a ground-breaking internet product.

Even Chen Pingsheng himself wasn't aware; he just felt that Xin Teng Live Streaming was making too much money, so after TikTok launched, he wanted to replicate another Xin Teng Live Streaming operation.

...

When Song Yanxi returned home, she felt that something was off.

A big and two small were here shaking their butts together; what was going on with her husband?

"Twist a bit, turn a bit, we are all a happy family."

Chen An'an, knowing that Dad had invested a fortune in another short video platform to build a team, simply registered on TikTok as well.

It wasn't easy to persuade her Dad, but she got him to record a family dance video with her; it had to be done well.

"Husband, why are you acting so unseriously too?"

"It's not so bad."

Chen Pingsheng said laughing, "An'an wants to film a family fun video, so I'm just playing along with her."

"Come on, you know how many people want to see you, right?"

Song Yanxi turned off her daughter's phone, saying the spoiled brat could play around, but her husband definitely shouldn't act like this in public.

Chen Pingsheng wiped the sweat from his forehead, "Actually, it's not too bad. TikTok has just gone online and user numbers are still very low, whether it can take off is still an unknown."

"Didn't you just invest five hundred million in it, why are you still saying such things?"

Song Yanxi looked at him skeptically, feeling that he didn't have much confidence in this newly launched short video service.

"It's just five hundred million; do you expect me to talk about it every day?"

Chen Pingsheng said, "You too, if our daughter enjoys playing, you should just play with her. Why stop her? Look how happy the two of them are."

Chen Pingsheng took her to the study which faced the big tree in the yard, the view was extremely pleasant.

It was indeed a perfect place for self-cultivation.

"I'm just worried about you being seen like this, drawing criticism. Don't you see how many employees our group has, nearly a million."

"There's no need to overthink, we're not living for others when we make money."

Chen Pingsheng said, "I've been feeling more and more that it's better to be easy-going, enjoying growing up with our daughter. Let me tell you a secret, the little fart kid is really smart. I taught her 1 plus 1 today, and she immediately remembered it."

"I really can't with you."

Song Yanxi rolled her eyes at him, "You've only just noticed? The little one seems like a little prodigy, whatever you teach her, she remembers right away, and then she thinks it's normal, not realizing how smart she is."

"Heh, if it weren't for her sister to compare with, I really would've thought there was a problem with my genes."

It wasn't just Chen Pingsheng who had noticed; even Chen An'an, who always bullied the little fart kid, had seen it.

A two-and-a-half-year-old who knows 1 plus 1 is already amazing, right?

How could she also recite ancient poems?

After all, Chen An'an is a fourth-grader, even if her grades are poor.

She definitely recognizes words.

She can certainly recite a couple of "Before my bed, the moon is shining bright, I suspect it is frost on the ground."

But she's already nine years old, so why does it seem like her two-and-a-half-year-old sister also knows these poems?

With Dad's genes, wasn't it supposed to be once learned, forever failed?

How could there be an exception with her little sister?

Chen An'an looked her abnormal little sister up and down; Chen Xinyi was puzzled by her gaze, following her footsteps and looking left and right.

Then, in a milky voice, she asked, "Sister, why are you walking back and forth non-stop?"

"Chen Xinyi, you don't really seem like my biological sister. How about we go for a sibling test tomorrow?"

Chen An'an said seriously, thinking it made no sense at all.

I'm so useless, how can you be so smart?

We should be the same.
