Chapter 426 Unheard of Winter Recruitment
In January, in the capital, this year’s heavy snow came much later than in previous years.
In this place where every inch of land is at a premium, three people were crammed into the not-so-large room, all of them looking away from the radiator as if they were absent, looking at the information on hand.
Xiao Xi, from the acting department of a certain college, leaned on his chair and looked at the documents in his hand with his brows furrowed.
She is preparing for her final assignment - a joint drama between three classes.
"What time is it? Are you still curling up?" A roommate with disheveled hair glanced over and complained, "It's impossible to fail, don't worry."
Xiao Xi looked away slightly.
The other two people were chatting about their fans and watching a program playing on a Pad.
Recently, their dormitory has been obsessed with the variety show "Almighty Trainee", which feels like they are not doing their job properly.
Just when Xiao Xi looked away and wanted to continue focusing on his own affairs, a burst of laughter suddenly broke out over there.
"Damn it, hahahaha! As expected of the Kuaiguang Group, it can really make a living!"
"Hahaha, Kong Feifei really knelt down and begged for mercy now!"
"With this kneeling technique, I can make Tyson kneel down and beg me."
"All it took was one punch and Tyson was on his knees begging me not to die."
"As expected, it's the Kuoguang Group... I also want to sign a contract with them, but unfortunately the standards are too high."
"By the way, didn't Old Man Liu take Xue Yuwei to Jinhai City to talk to the people there face to face at the Kuaiguang Group headquarters? What is the situation now? Why haven't we seen the results yet?"
Xiao Xi said casually: "Kuiguang Group is notoriously difficult. Even if the instructor goes to interview in person, it will definitely take a while...but I think the possibility of final negotiation is not low, but it is quite time-consuming."
"Tsk, Old Liu Tou still brags about his relationship with Director Guo all day long. As a result, the resources for "The Wandering Blue Star 2" are still pending."
"Nonsense, resources of this level are not easy to use no matter how strong the relationship is, and if you want to go through the back door, do you really think that Boss Yang is a dead person? There are so many parties involved, and there are so few character resources. If each party adds some people, the movie will still be Are you going to take pictures?”
"Kuiguang Group must have a firm grasp of all resources... It is absolutely impossible to get access to the IP of "Wandering Blue Star 2" without bleeding a lot."
"Sigh... I also want resources of this level, even if it's an extra who only appears once. This is a top-notch resource with a guaranteed box office of more than 1 billion!"
"You are overthinking. Why did Old Liu Tou take Xiao Xue to Jinhai instead of you? Even if he does get resources, he will definitely not let you use them."
Before he finished speaking, the dormitory door was pushed open with a bang, the cold wind rushed in, and the three people chatting in the room suddenly felt excited.
"Who..."
Before they could say the next words, they were stunned when they saw the person coming in.
Xue Yuwei?
Didn't she follow Old Liu Tou to Jinhai and go directly to Kuaiguang Group for an interview?
Why are you back so soon?
Xiao Xi was interrupted from his thoughts one after another. At this time, he simply put down the documents and asked the classmate who was wearing a large cotton coat and relying on the heater to keep warm as soon as he entered the dormitory: "How is it over there? Is everything going well?"
In fact, when they said this, they all had some bad guesses in their minds - couldn't things be getting dirty?
With the energy and internal circulation of Kuaiguang Group, Boss Yang could refuse their cooperation without blinking an eye.
To be honest, there is no possibility that the talks will collapse.
Xue Yuwei threw her coat on the bed with a big movement and complained while chewing spicy strips: "It went well, but it didn't go well!"
"What should I say? Did I get resources in exchange or not?"
Xue Yuwei rolled her eyes: "It's a bit like what you just said. I got the resources, but it's a pity that I gave you an advantage in vain."
Xue Yuwei listened to everything about the discussion in the dormitory just now.
"You gave us a free advantage, how can you say that?"
Xue Yuwei took a sip of water and sighed: "The resources for "The Wandering Blue Star 2" have been negotiated, and Boss Yang does not require us to do any resource exchange. The whole 'negotiation' process did not take more than 10 minutes. Was it smooth enough?"
After all, he is a person who wants to join the entertainment industry, and everyone in the dormitory is not a fool. They immediately heard the meaning behind Xue Yuwei's words.
When tutors discuss resources, they always bring their most proud students...
Could it be that Xue Yuwei didn't catch Boss Yang's eyes?
No, although it doesn’t sound like a lot for a tutor to lead one or two students, the resources in "Wandering Blue Star 2" are more precious and important. Generally speaking, if there are so many students, it is considered very good if two or more students can be selected. Gained.
Xue Yuwei looked at the guessing expressions on her roommates' faces and angrily swallowed the last bite of spicy sticks and said, "Yes, it's what you think. There are so many of us, and Boss Yang doesn't want any of them, at least not for the time being."
"ah?!"
Xue Yuwei sighed and explained: "According to what he said, several of our colleges will organize a large-scale offline assessment. All students who are willing to sign up can participate, and then the crew of "The Wandering Blue Star 2" will specially make the selection. I You can also participate...but I don’t think there is much hope, after all, I have never passed the interview of other big bosses.”
"Everyone has a chance?!" Xiao Xi stood up from his seat in shock, "Is there no threshold?"
"No." Xue Yuwei shook her head, "Actually, someone will notify you about this tomorrow. I'm just telling you in advance... What is Guan Liu doing? Yes, he calls this a winter move."
"What a winter move by God, hahahahaha!"
"Don't tell me, thinking about the scene at that time, it really feels like a school recruitment."
"I guess most of the people will want to sign up by then..."
"That's for sure. This is an opportunity for fair competition. Kuaiguang Group did not ask for resource exchange, and the meaning is already clear."
Although the acting department and the directing department may sound very high-end, in this resource-scarce circle, any benefits must be obtained through grabbing, connections, and relationships.
It is too difficult to come out with strength alone.
How many people were full of confidence when they were in school and were full of ambition after graduation, but in the end they still had to hang out in the crew, doing photography, lighting, makeup, focusing, etc...
In the end, most of them can only recognize the reality and either go to live broadcasts or make short video dramas. Those who are slightly better go to film and play online.
Those who can truly enter the circle are the few among the few.
It can even be said that without the help of insiders, this probability will be infinitely close to 0.
But now, an opportunity for fair competition is before everyone’s eyes!
As long as they can be valued by the crew, they don't have to pay anything, and they can get an opportunity that many people dream of and are willing to use countless resources to exchange.
After complaining, the three roommates gathered around the slightly depressed Xue Yuwei and asked questions: "Sister Xue, will anyone from the crew of "The Wandering Blue Star 2" come directly?"
"Did you see any big stars in the group? Did you say a few words to Boss Yang to make him look familiar?"
"Is the Kuaiguang Group like the legend? It's very luxurious inside?"
"It's bad, our cheerful and lively big sister is really a little depressed now, hahaha."
Xue Yuwei slapped the roommates' hands away angrily and said, "The crew will not come in person, but they will conduct live video assessments."
"The biggest big shot I met was Yang Ruoqian himself. Does he look familiar? He may not have even noticed that I am there."
"The company is indeed very luxurious, are you satisfied?"
Several people had been wrapped up in excitement for a long time. At this time, they didn't even bother to watch variety shows. They hugged the group and chatted all kinds of gossip: "I heard that Kuaiguang Group has opened a branch here, have you ever gone to see it? "
"Who has that time?"
"The entry threshold for their variety show seems to be very low. It's only a few hundred dollars higher. You can get into it just by gritting your teeth. You don't know how much I want to go."
"Then our usual homework isn't wasted, isn't it?"
"If you have this opportunity, will you still take care of your usual homework?"
"Wouldn't it be doomed if I were to be eliminated in a variety show? You should always leave yourself some way out."
"Yes, speaking of homework... What if I get spotted by the crew of "The Wandering Blue Star 2"? What will happen to the final homework? What will the third class of co-stars say?"
Xue Yuwei then added: "I was chosen by the crew and offered it directly. Why do you even ask such stupid questions?"
"When will it start? I can't wait."
Xue Yuwei opened another pack of spicy strips and said slowly: "The day after tomorrow, no later than the day after tomorrow... The crew doesn't have that much time to waste, so it's pretty good that they are willing to spare two days for us college students."
"It is expected that the registration process will start tomorrow."
"This time we are not only competing with students from our school, but also our most familiar old rivals... There are only a few positions, so it's really fierce. I don't have much hope anyway."
"Sister Xue, you won't participate?!"
"That's not possible, I must participate!"
"..."
…
"What the hell, winter recruitment? Are winter recruitment already here?" A student who was forced to "work overtime" muttered in the tutor's office, "What kind of activity is this? It's a huge effort."
Then, the moment he saw the document, his eyes almost popped out of his head.
"For "The Wandering Blue Star 2", we plan to recruit actors from several of our colleges?! There is also a quota for a supporting role?!"
Although it is not an important supporting role...
But what kind of movie is this and what platform is this?
As long as you can express yourself well in the movie, with this amount of exposure and some casual management, it is not impossible to become a star directly!
After being shocked, he immediately narrowed his eyes in a strange way and said to himself: "How could I see this kind of thing? Shouldn't it have been digested internally a long time ago?"
"Everyone, fair competition... let the crew select suitable students as actors?! As long as they are students from designated colleges and universities, they can sign up for the selection without any threshold?"
"It's so fierce that I actually have hallucinations... When will resources of this level be able to compete fairly?"
"Registration starts tomorrow? Then I have to stay up late tonight to organize..."
"No, I have to sign up myself."
Two days passed quickly.
It was obviously snowing heavily and everyone wanted to hide under the covers, but for the first time, countless students were seen on the playground.
Everyone knew that places were scarce and the number of applicants was so large that it was comparable to thousands of troops walking on a tightrope, but no one gave up because of this.
No one can resist the temptation when faced with an opportunity that can change their lives without paying any price.
Even though many people were shivering from the cold, they still insisted on waiting in a long queue.
The four people in Xue Yuwei's dormitory also agreed to come together to line up today.
Looking at the endless long queue in front of her, Xue Yuwei rubbed her hands and sighed: "Alas, Director Liu actually gave me the privilege of cutting in line, but for you, I still gave up this privilege. How about it, is it good enough?"
Good students always get the favor of teachers and always get better resources, and everyone is used to it.
After all, they fought for it themselves.
"That's very good, but can you ask Old Liu to give us a better queuing environment? I'm afraid I'll be frozen into an ice sculpture when it's my turn."
"You think too much, don't say whether he allows it or not. Even if he allows it, where can he get such good conditions in these two days? Just be happy with a hand warmer."
Just when everyone was fighting the cold with chatting, several unfamiliar luxury cars and trucks suddenly drove into the school gate in the distance.
Who drives what car in the school and what luxury cars are basically gossiped about, but these cars in front of them are all unfamiliar to them.
Moreover, at such an important time, generally no one would drive in so high-profile.
Because doing so would easily leave a bad impression on Kuiguang Group.
So...
Xiao Xi was the first to react: "Is this someone from Kuiguang Group coming?"
"Didn't you say that the crew wouldn't come to the scene?"
"Just because the crew doesn't come doesn't mean that no one from the company will come... How can such an important matter be completely handed over to the line?"
"Kuiguang Group has a branch here, and it won't take much effort to send a few people to take a look."
"What does the truck following behind mean?"
"It's probably some equipment, don't worry about it, just perform well."
While many people were whispering, the car in the front stopped and a young man got out of it.
Xue Yuwei's eyes suddenly froze.
Xiao Xi joked: "What, are you fascinated by the handsome guy? Is this our senior from which year?"
After all, the distance is relatively far, although the appearance can be roughly seen, it is difficult to recognize who the person is for a while.
Even if they already knew Yang Ruoqian's appearance through various channels, it would be difficult to recognize him at once without deliberately thinking in that direction.
Xue Yuwei, who had just seen Boss Yang at the headquarters of Kuiguang Group two days ago, had a deep memory. She shook her head: "No... what senior, this is the boss of Kuiguang Group!"
"Yang Ruoqian came to inspect in person!"
"Stand up straight quickly, and you, stop shaking your legs! Do you want to be banned by the entire entertainment industry with this image?!"
"Stand up straight quickly!" (End of this chapter)
