College female students sell themselves online: for fame and profit, they are willing to be subject to Zhang Yimou's unwritten rules (file photo)

If you want to find "big name figures" in the entertainment industry from art school graduates, the list will never end: Zhang Yimou, Chen Daoming, Zhang Ziyi, Zhao Wei, Lu Yi... And every time a "new star" appears in the entertainment industry, we can always find the name of an art school on their "personal resume". As a "reserve base" for entertainment celebrities, this is almost a must-go place for every star on their road to success.

The Central Academy of Drama, Communication University of China (formerly Beijing Broadcasting Institute), and Beijing Film Academy are known as the "three major Chinese art schools." After visiting these schools, the first thing the reporter felt was the "star aura" that drifted around the campus. If you want to know the latest fashion trends, here you can see fashionable clothing and trendy hairstyles everywhere; if you want to see beautiful women, it's "two steps to a Cecilia Cheung, three steps to a Stefanie Sun." The students walking around the campus are full of deliberate imitation of stars' language, clothing, and demeanor.

They are all called "semi-finished products of stars," but the gap between individuals is still huge: some are happily taking roles and shooting advertisements after their sophomore year; some are still striving for this goal; some are self-reliant and making efforts step by step for their future; and some are lost in pressure and depression, being "kept"... Moreover, rumors like "luxury cars lined up at the school gate" and "a famous nightclub near a certain art school" have already spread all over.

There are three points that make them stand out: first, they are college students; second, they are female college students; third, they are female college students from art schools.

In the interview, everyone said: "I can only represent myself, not the school." "For some people, taking the entrance exam for art schools is just a way to go to university."
