Chapter 4 Interview

In China, whether you pay attention to the entertainment industry or not, the two major film and television bases in China are almost well-known.

Mobei and Jiangnan.

There are many historical sites in these two places. Originally, the local government protected them and wanted to develop tourism, but perhaps the architecture is not outstanding and the cultural heritage is not strong, so there are not many tourists visiting all year round.

Later, by chance, a drama filmed in the Jiangnan Monument became popular, resulting in a surge in tourists that year. Government agencies smelled the gimmick that could drive the economy, so they developed the monument into a film and television city, which achieved great success.

With this precedent, other unknown monuments followed suit. In the era of cultural rise, two super-scale film and television bases have gradually become the best places for countless crews to shoot.

In these places, there are countless extras with dreams and star-chasers who are eager to meet their idols. The number of people is explosive every day and the economy is rising every day.

Xu Yan squeaked the three-fist bottle of the farmer after drinking, and was about to throw it away, but was interrupted by an anxious voice:

"Don't throw it away, brother!"

Xu Yan looked back and saw that it was a yellow-haired man carrying a bag.

"You want it?" Xu Yan asked subconsciously.

"Okay, okay, I'm filming!" The man opened his pocket and looked pitiful.

Xu Yan was both ridiculous and screamed. The bottle fell into the bag with a rush and left.

Sure enough, the drought died of drought, and the lower-class actors were so hard that they were too hard.

In front is the Cultural Street. Unlike the normal shopping street, it is lined with temporary stations for various crews, as well as many snack shops and clothing stores.

Generally speaking, when the script is decided, the screenwriter doesn’t have to go with the crew, so it is normal for those who start filming not to recruit screenwriters.

But Xu Yan also knew that once the filming was turned on, it would mean ever-changing. There were always various emergencies that needed to modify the script or even revise a replacement script.

At this time, a person may not be too busy, so he must find an assistant or someone on the scene to be able to connect with the script.

Xu Yan browsed roughly at the doors of each crew and found that they were recruiting extras, and basically no screenwriter was found.

The handsome men and beautiful women were thrusting in their heads, but they still couldn't get the Party A to see him at first sight.

This is normal. After all, you can’t be a food here. Everyone is on the same starting line. How fast you can run depends on whether the artillery fire is enough.

In addition to the stationing points of each crew, there are places that specialize in temporary positions on the streets, which is a bit similar to the talent recruitment market.

Xu Yan looked from a distance and soon saw two crews recruiting temporary screenwriters on the conspicuous LED display.

Following the address, he found the first one at the intersection. Unlike other companies, this is a large company with its own arrangements.

Because other people rent houses temporarily to handle business, it directly took down and opened the branch here.

"Yanying Media, judging from the scale, this company is not small!"

A branch is like the headquarters of some companies. Yanying Media also hired two security guards at the gate, with a tight grasp of momentum and appearance. They seemed to want to use this method to highlight their company's considerable status in the entertainment industry.

It is obvious to all that the competition in large companies is very high. The first floor of the company is full of people, and there are all handsome men and beautiful women. I think it is a recruitment of extras here.

"Hello, I'm here to apply for a screenwriter." Xu Yan said politely.

The staff didn't look up and simply said that they continued to register the list of extras on the second floor.

Regardless of the envious eyes of the group actors, Xu Yan walked through a special passage. As soon as he walked to the corner, he saw a man over 10 years older than him cursing downstairs and complaining:

"It's better if you have eyes but no beads!"

It seems that this is a setback in the dream and a blow.

Is the competition so fierce?

Xu Yan silently cheered up in his heart, Daddy, what you are standing behind is the entire earth culture. Conquering the entire universe, start with culture!

Just like interviewing for other jobs, fill in your resume, wait, queue up, and then go in.

Xu Yan sat in a conference room, in front of him was a middle-aged man in a suit and tie. While looking through his resume, he asked some professional questions.

Xu Yan answered fluently, and the middle-aged man raised his head and continued to ask: "Our company has released recruitment information frequently in your school every year. Why did you not sign a contract at the school and want to come here?"

Xu Yan filled in his education on Earth. Faced with doubts, he replied: "Newcomers may not have the chance to come to the set when they first enter the company. Even if they come, they are mostly doing chores."

He doesn't think that he must be humble and pragmatic as a job seeker, because what he said just now is criticizing many new screenwriters.

The interviewer was surprised to answer this. He put down his resume, pushed his glasses and nodded, "An inevitable question, Xu Yan, right? Have you had past achievements?"

Although I felt embarrassed, Xu Yan still honestly said that there was no such thing, after all, this thing cannot be fake.

The interviewer smiled and said nothing. He took a piece of paper from the drawer, which read the first half of a story.

This is the last level of the interview, which is edited based on the unfinished story or scene characters.

Xu Yan took the paper and before he could take a closer look, the door of the conference room was suddenly opened.

The same middle-aged man who came in was dressed formally. His straight suit and shiny hair all meant that this was a successful person.

He didn't look at Xu Yan, stared at the interviewer impatiently and said, "Why are you still recruiting people? Haven't you been recruiting?"

The interviewer stood up with his hands on the table and replied: "This is what Director Huang is like. Director Liu said that the girl is not from a professional background and has a resume..."

"Director Liu?" the middle-aged man frowned and asked with a slight smile, "Will there be problems if I interview myself?"

"Director, you misunderstood!" The interviewer showed a far-fetched smile, and then told Xu Yan in a very sorry tone, "You go back and wait for the notification!"

Generally speaking, waiting for a notice is equivalent to polite rejection. In addition, in this situation, you can even think of the interview being ruined with your toes. Xu Yan sighed inwardly and said thank you out of politeness.

"Let those people outside leave, and the recruitment information is also directly released."

The middle-aged man ordered, then glanced at Xu Yan's resume, kneaded the test questions and threw them into the trash can next to him.

When he walked out of Yan Ying, Xu Yan felt that the sun was dazzling. He said that he was disappointed, but he could only sigh that he was not lucky.

The first one failed, so I had to go to the second one.

"Hey, brother, are you also interviewing in Yanying?"

The voice was quite familiar. When I looked up, it turned out to be the yellow hair picking up garbage.

Xu Yan unexpectedly said hello with a smile. The man stepped forward and asked curiously:

"Brother, have you succeeded in the interview?"

Xu Yan shook his head, and the man was not surprised. He clenched the garbage bag and looked inside the Yanying Building.

"It's normal to hit a wall here. The company is very famous. You can't get in without some special abilities!"

Xu Yan had no time to pay attention to him and walked towards the second company, which was a company at the end of the street.

"Hey, buddy, you're the first time you're an extra? Look at you, you don't have the temperament of a salted fish, look at me, it's so salty!"

The man saw that Xu Yan had no interest in paying attention to him and thought he had just failed the interview, so he put his steps on looking for a bottle.

Suddenly, he found that the other party was walking towards the end of the street, and then he accelerated his pace.

"Hey? Why are you walking to the end of the street? The crew there is not OK. Maybe one day it will be finished halfway. It is not your filming, but the crew will be shut down and it will be the type that will be disbanded directly!"

When Xu Yan heard this, he suddenly realized why there were fewer extras around him. It turned out that there was this reason.

"Did they give the money?"

If you give it, it doesn’t matter. After all, you don’t care about temporary workers now. There are only two screenwriters here, the first GG, so you can only place your hopes on the last one.

"The pay is given, but it won't be too high." The man thought about it and said, "Their films are basically at the bottom of the ratings. They have no financial resources and fame, and the script actors are not as good as the class. They have no hope of becoming famous after going there!"

Having said that, there are people interviews for every crew because some people can see it very clearly that making money is important, and it is nonsense to want to become famous in a hurry on the screen.

Xu Yan walked into a relatively deserted crew in front of a door. Before Huang Mao entered, he was surprised and said, "Damn, awesome brothers! The crew was kicked out of the company by Yan Ying, and you also want Yan Ying. Are you two strong and powerful? Did you come here on purpose?"

Xu Yan was surprised, what does it mean?

There is no company name in front of me, but only a small storefront with a big red sign and the glamorous and beautiful Yanying, which is crowded with people, has an indescribable origin?

"I didn't understand." Xu Yan blinked.

Huangmao shook the garbage bag on his back and smiled like he discovered a new continent: "You are not only just coming to Jiangnan, but you should have just entered the industry, right? The director of this crew used to be Yan Ying's, but he had a fall in love last year. There were many people in the circle, but you didn't know?"

"I really don't know!"

Xu Yan paused, and still moved forward. I don’t know what’s wrong? Is he proud? There is a salary in it, can Yan Ying give him a salary?

Seeing Xu Yan plunging into the small storefront, Huangmao couldn't help but sigh: "Oh! Young people are reckless, and they are all suppressed to this small corner. Can't you still see that his future is dark? But that's right, making money is important!"

"Hey? Hasn't the filming been stopped for a while? Why are you still recruiting extras?" Huang Mao was puzzled and wanted to stick his head in and ask, but the next moment his eyes suddenly became fierce.
Chapter completed!
