Chapter 146: Use your money to do your own thing
The so-called packaging fee can easily cost millions, even people from serious professional colleges and universities don’t know that this thing can be so valuable!

After all, the annual tuition fee for professional colleges is only tens of thousands of yuan, and the more expensive ones are capped at hundreds of thousands of yuan.

But what is expensive is not the major, but the degree.

If you failed to get into your ideal professional college on your own, then just spend a little more money and come to us.

You can study the same major and get the same degree in the end, etc. The only drawback is that the name is not as famous.

But no matter how not well-known it is, it is still serious and formal, and recognized everywhere.

These brokerage companies don’t have these. At most, they will give a certificate with the company’s seal, which is not recognized anywhere except within the company.
And the tuition fee is millions!
This is the so-called packaged training part of the agency, which is basically bullshit.

Of course, it’s not that you can’t learn anything, but it’s hard to put it to use after learning.
“The training part is just spending a lot of money to buy an internal certificate that is useless.”

“In the future, if someone asks your son what his major is, will he be embarrassed to say that he studied film and television acting at the agency university? He should still say that he eventually went to university or college, or maybe high school.”

When she heard the word “high school”, her mother’s eyes dimmed instantly.

This is also the problem she has always been most worried about. If her son really devotes his whole heart to this agency, then what’s the point of his studies?
Not only will you waste money by repeating a year, but there is a high chance that you will still fail any exam in the end.

Should I spend money to get a college degree? Or should I just stop at high school graduation?

This outcome is simply horrible for the mother. Not to mention how much energy and financial resources she has invested in her child’s studies, just think about what will happen to her child’s future!

Did she really have to go around interviewing with crews with a certificate that was so-called stamped by an agency? Not to mention whether the crew would recognize it or not, first of all, as an outsider, she thought it was impossible!

Now the mother feels both unfortunate and lucky. Unfortunately, she and her son had a bad relationship because of this trivial matter. Fortunately, she did not act impulsively! Fortunately, she met the security guard in front of her! !

It is no exaggeration to say that it is a blessing in disguise, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous!

“You said that training is part of the packaging, but what about the rest? What about the real packaging? Like what they said about providing resources and opportunities, are they just empty shells?”

The cameraman’s face was full of seriousness. This was what he cared about the most from the beginning to the end. After all, compared to this, money and training could be put aside for the time being.

If I were given a chance, and could make it as beautiful as they draw, even if I could only do half of it, I would be considered to have entered this circle.

As long as he gets in, even if he can’t achieve anything in the future, he can at least make a living. He has been working as a cameraman for so many years and has participated in the recording of many programs, as well as the shooting of many movies and TV shows. He has seen quite a few examples of ordinary people being able to make a living.

Moreover, they are all complete amateurs who have made their way through as extras. The opportunities given by this agency can’t be worse than those given to extras, right?
The Internet is so developed now, and everyone is smart, so it shouldn’t be that easy to fool people.

Song Wen smiled and shook his head: “It’s not that it’s an empty shell. Although these brokerage companies are all for quick money, they won’t stop after one or two rounds. That’s how much, so they have to stick with it for at least one or two years or even more.”

“Until the paper they created can no longer cover the fire.”

“For example, those activities you see online are indeed real and they are indeed quite grand, but in fact, most of them are just self-directed and self-acted.”

“It’s like when you start shooting a movie. You just pick up a script, hire some staff from a company, and hire a director for a low price. Isn’t that how you put the team together?”

“Can’t you act out and experience your own stuff enough? And the company can take this opportunity to take some photos and promote it. How much money will it cost?” The cameraman nodded as if he understood something. He was very clear about this. It was too easy to form a filming team. Of course, it was expensive for ordinary people, but it was different for the agency. How much money did they charge!
Even if you shoot ten films, it would still not be enough to use up the packaging fee of a so-called contracted artist!
“That’s true, but the subsequent broadcast platforms will also promote these.”

Halfway through his words, the cameraman suddenly stopped.

He was originally thinking about the post-production issues after the shooting was completed, but he suddenly remembered the call the mother had received before.

Isn’t the answer right there!

There is no such thing as a later stage! There is no such thing as a sequel! It’s just one word: wait!

Not only are you anxious, we are anxious too! But movies are not as simple as you think, they can be released after being filmed, don’t they have to go through various procedures?
Isn’t this the textbook answer my mother got when she asked the telemarketer?

He directed and acted in the film himself, and just kept wasting time after the filming. In the end, it was like what Song Wen said, the truth could no longer be hidden.

Then there is no more then.

Seeing the cameraman’s expression of sudden enlightenment, the mother, the person involved, naturally got the answer.

Isn’t this just a roundabout way back to the starting point? People have already told you about the future.
They are playing the dark game under the lamp, it is so blatant.

“As for other resources, they are pretty much the same. They do have some real resources, so it’s not difficult for them to take their artists around every now and then.”

“It’s just up to you whether you can pass the real audition. Of course, even if you pass it, it won’t be a big opportunity. In fact, many people can get the chance by just spending some money.”

“To put it bluntly, they use your money to do something for you, and then use your money to pay you a salary. You are beautiful, they are beautiful too, and everyone is happy.”

At this point, Song Wen has told the story from beginning to end from another perspective.

From the beginning to the end, it is one trap after another, making people unable to resist and get sucked in.

When you reach the end of the tunnel, you may never find them again if you want to find them.

“So you can say this is a scam, but in fact they didn’t lie to you. The things promised in the contract can be done in a nutshell, but it’s just not as good as you imagined. The contract is certainly not what you thought it was.”

“If your family has a lot of money, it’s okay to play around, but if your family doesn’t have money and you still force yourself to get in, then this is pure fraud to you.”

Mom sighed deeply. She had certainly made her choice, and Song Wen’s words were of great benefit to her.

Now she no longer felt any guilt, only gratitude for having survived the disaster.

“Thank you so much, little brother! If I hadn’t met you today, I really don’t know what would have happened in the future! You really helped us mother and son!”

“Little brother, let me call the child in and you explain it to him. He will definitely understand after listening!”

Song Wen smiled politely:
“Your own children should be educated by yourself. I don’t have the responsibility. Get out.”
