Chapter 281: Yang Beauty's Struggle_2
Regarding professional skills in media editing, she was quite confident and didn't even fear operating on the spot. This was one of the aspects she was most proud of during her four years at university.
Her theoretical courses in the journalism major weren't very good, but she was quite proficient in some related skills, such as video editing and writing for new media. She might not be outstanding, but she was at least above the passing line.
After the interview, although the HR manager didn't decide to hire her on the spot, he said he would give her a response by tomorrow, which was undoubtedly a good sign. Otherwise, she'd have to wait for notification after returning home.
In fact, shortly after she returned, before noon, she received a call from Fengmang Film and Television Company informing her to start the job the next day.
This made her very happy; firstly, she finally had a job, and she could stand on her own. Additionally, she could finally move out of the school dormitory.
The dormitory aunt had urged her several times, each time with a worse attitude, which made her feel tormented these days and experience the harsh reality of society.
Another reason for her happiness was that she could get closer to Chen Feng, who was currently the best goal she could aim for.
Unfortunately, she was going to be disappointed.
First, when she reported to the company early the next morning, the administrative HR manager personally took her to the artist department manager's office, where Hu Rui asked if she wanted to be an artist or an actor. With such beauty and outstanding temperament, she could completely be trained to become an actor, an artist, or a star.This unexpected turn, Yang Wenqi had not anticipated before coming over.
In fact, the reason she was hired this time was not that she was very suitable for the media editing position, but because she was beautiful. Then the administrative HR manager who interviewed her, Xu Haixia, recommended her to Hu Rui, who was overjoyed after seeing her information and photos.
It's really rare to see a beauty of Yang Wenqi's level, especially since she graduated from Xiu State University. Although it's just a tier-two university, it's quite exceptional in the entertainment circle. Many well-known artists in the entertainment industry don't have high academic qualifications; simply put, their academic performance is generally poor. For them, getting a 400-point score in the college entrance exam is considered very high, generally they only score two to three hundred points.
Moreover, those diplomas from drama academies, film academies, or art academies, except for one or two national-level ones, the rest have very low gold content and are too watered down. This can be seen from the incident with Dr. Zhai in the past.
Therefore, an Xiu State University diploma from a tier-two school is really impressive in the entertainment circle.
In Hu Rui's eyes, Yang Wenqi was a good candidate balancing beauty and wisdom. Being a complete outsider now, signing her wouldn't cost much. If she received some training in the future, as long as her acting skills weren't hopelessly bad, she could slowly become popular by playing vase roles in some films and TV dramas.
At least by signing her, the company certainly wouldn't lose out.
Yang Wenqi hadn't never encountered agents or scouts wanting to introduce her to commercials or contracts before, but she wasn't interested at the time. She thought about being a host but not an actor, as she felt clueless about acting, and it wasn't something she liked.
The fear of getting scammed was also a concern; after all, everyone knows the entertainment industry is quite shady, full of liars and villains.
Moreover, the most important thing was that her family had money at the time, so she didn't lack spending money.
Now, however, the conditions Hu Rui offered were a basic monthly salary of 5000, meals and accommodation, specialized teacher training for various aspects including physical and performing arts, various subsidies, and even bonuses. Most importantly, the company currently only has 5 signed artists, with one contract about to expire, which the company won't renew.
If she joined the company, they would strongly support her, and eventually, for each show she'd earn tens of thousands to millions. If she became famous, just a gasoline truck advertisement could earn her hundreds of thousands to millions.
Moreover, the company was about to start a new show. If she accelerated her training, as long as her acting was up to par, she could make an appearance in this TV drama.
After Hu Rui's persuasion, along with Xu Haixia's straightforward statement beside her, the media editing position wasn't her best choice. If she declined Hu Rui's offer, then she couldn't work at this company.
This was clearly unacceptable to her, who was now near the end of her rope, especially since she planned to enter the company to pursue Chen Feng, the golden bachelor.
Therefore, Yang Wenqi only hesitated for a few minutes, struggling inwardly, before agreeing to sign as an artist with Fengmang Film and Television.
This left both Hu Rui and Xu Haixia quite satisfied, as they had finally found a really good candidate for the company, thus fulfilling the boss's directive at yesterday's meeting. This also counted as their preliminary achievement after taking office.
Thus, Yang Wenqi became a signed artist with Fengmang Film and Television, starting with several relevant artist training courses, an area where Hu Rui was quite experienced.
However, after working at the company for ten days straight, Yang Wenqi still hadn't seen Chen Feng, the boss.
Eventually, she couldn't resist finding an opportunity to ask Xin Yuqing, who was doing quite well at the company. Both were alumni of Xiu State University, and Xin Yuqing was her junior, still in her third year. Her major was quite free, and she, like most third years, was out for internships or work this year.
As alumni and both being beauties, they quickly hit it off after getting acquainted.
Yang Wenqi feigned curiosity while inquiring about the company's boss from Xin Yuqing, and learned from her that Chen Feng, the boss, was hands-off, typically not visiting unless something major occurred at the company.
Upon hearing this, Yang Wenqi was quite depressed.
Initially, she thought she would have the upper hand being so close, yet the boss Chen Feng was of such character, not coming to the company for ten days to half a month, leaving her no chance to get close.
But now she had no other way, just to continue waiting at the company.
Unbeknownst to Chen Feng, his company had actually signed Yang Wenqi, this "acquaintance," and he was having quite a leisurely time at home these past ten days.
Choosing to let his woman handle work when necessary, and enjoy time with them when there was none.
Whether it was Wu Mengting, Little Rui, or Liu Ying, each of them appeared more energetic after starting work, especially Liu Ying, who previously had the complete demeanor of waiting for a sponsor, but now embodied a professional female elite's stance and style after going to work; even going several days without actively inviting him for the night.
This change was, at present, more beneficial than not to him, so he didn't intend to correct it.
