Chapter 33 Interview
Su Yaqin has been deeply involved in the entertainment operation field for many years, and has personally witnessed the entire process from the dominance of traditional film and television to the emergence of new online communication models.
At her age, she rarely changes jobs anymore.
One is that they have reached the end of the industry and are simply repeating the same work in a similar environment, making it difficult to make any substantial progress.
In addition, her qualifications are not cost-effective for companies that are looking to recruit talent.
Instead of using the money to poach her, it would be better to hire a few obedient college graduates. Their salary requirements are not high, they are easy to manage, and they can meet the company's diverse needs in terms of talent structure, which is the so-called "political indicator".
But Su Yaqin still went for the interview. The reason was simple: the new company offered such good terms that even a seasoned veteran like her was tempted.
Su Yaqin's interview was conducted personally by Bai Li and Jing Ye.
I heard that Su Yaqin is a veteran in the entertainment industry. Under her management, several hit variety shows have been produced, and she has also mentored several celebrity agents. She has a lot of experience.
Therefore, the company takes this interview very seriously.
When Su Yaqin arrived at the company, she was immediately shocked by the company's address.
Located next to the Lujiazui complex, in the heart of the city's financial and commercial district, its prosperity is unparalleled. Its rents are exorbitant and its location is scarce, making it a place that even established and powerful entertainment companies can only dream of.
However, she wasn't swayed by the address; she merely frowned slightly.
For working people, having their company in the city center is a real ordeal, as it means high rent costs. If they want to reduce the pressure of rent, they need to spend twice as much time commuting.
During the interview, Jingye smiled and handed Su Yaqin the company-arranged accommodation manual, instantly dispelling Su Yaqin's concerns.
Su Yaqin opened the manual, and a look of surprise gradually appeared in her eyes.
The manual details the environment of the employee dormitory, which is designed with individual entrances to ensure employees' privacy and independence. The dormitory is fully equipped with all necessary living facilities, even better than some apartments available for rent outside.
This wasn't even the biggest surprise for Su Yaqin. After hearing Jingye's introduction, she was dumbfounded and asked incredulously, "Wait, accommodation included? You mean these rooms are free?"
Jingye nodded in confirmation: "That's right. Floors one through four on the right wing of the Little Crown are all staff dormitories. Any full-time employee can register and move in for free."
After hearing this, Su Yaqin was completely stunned. She quickly calculated the costs behind it in her mind and couldn't help but mutter to herself, "The company has only just started, and it's already investing so much?"
What exactly is the background of this company?
The two company leaders were both very young and incredibly good-looking. When Su Yaqin first came in, she thought they were celebrities from somewhere.
Bai Li explained casually, "Ms. Su, you don't need to worry about the company's operating costs. The little crown is my personal property."
Su Yaqin was shocked. The woman in front of her looked to be only in her early twenties, yet she owned this building and was already the owner of an entertainment company.
Jingye continued by talking about the company's other benefits, one after another, which left Su Yaqin even more bewildered.
The company also provides a fixed meal allowance, and the employee cafeteria is directly partnered with a five-star hotel; the salary is no less than that of the previous company, and there are even additional project bonuses and year-end dividends; the employees' five social insurances and one housing fund, as well as social security, will be paid according to the highest standards.
Su Yaqin's eyes widened. Years of work experience made her less easily fooled by appearances: "This...is this company really not going to lose money by doing this? What are the company's development direction and plans? I don't want to enjoy temporary benefits only to face unemployment again because of the company's strategic issues."
Bai Li sensed Su Yaqin's worry and gestured to Jing Ye to give Su Yaqin the company's project plan.
Jingye tacitly handed the documents to Su Yaqin, reminding her, "This is a simplified version of the company's plan. You can read it, but please do not take any photos."
Su Yaqin understood the implications; this likely involved trade secrets. She took the documents with both hands and began to read them carefully.
The materials detail a wide variety of project plans, ranging from big-budget film projects to niche but unique online short dramas; from innovative online group broadcasting models to variety shows with nationwide participation; from professional music production plans to comprehensive music copyright layouts—virtually everything is included.
As Su Yaqin looked at the contents, the light in her eyes grew brighter and brighter. She was secretly amazed at how ambitious this company was.
This plan was something Bai Li came up with on a whim. To prepare it, she even added an extra [IQ] attribute point to herself. She had several flashes of inspiration and came up with a few interesting ideas.
Of course, she was just coming up with ideas; the specific plans, strategies, market analysis, and expected results were all finalized with the help of Jingye and other people in the company.
Seeing that Su Yaqin had already finished reading the plan, Bai Li added, "This is only part of our company's future plans. You'll only know more after you join the company."
“We plan to pursue a high-quality and innovative development path, and will not simply imitate existing entertainment models. This is a challenge, so we really need experienced talents like you.”
"Here, you will not be restricted by any rules and regulations, and you can fully display your talents and put your ideas into practice."
Bai Li's last words truly struck a chord with Su Yaqin. After years of working in this industry, the initial excitement had long since faded.
She used to argue with people about innovation, but later she helplessly discovered that the entertainment industry seemed to be caught in a vicious cycle, with everyone copying.
The variety show format is copied.
The script was copied.
The character design and plot are plagiarized.
The pitfalls you can fall into have already been trodden by others. As long as you copy them well, you'll never make a mistake. Following in others' footsteps and being the first to try something new is the way for entertainment companies to survive.
This company is different; all its projects are novel and interesting. If successful, they could potentially have a revolutionary impact on the entertainment industry.
Moreover, this company has the capital to make mistakes. Just the fact that the boss is the owner behind "Little Crown" means that she has strong capital to support these grand plans, which gave Su Yaqin a boost of confidence.
Despite her advanced age, Su Yaqin still harbors a seed of dedication to entertainment within her. Her soul remains young, and she knows that such an opportunity is rare, making her willing to give it a try.
After careful consideration, she finally made up her mind: forty years old is the age to take risks!
"When can I start work?"
Bai Li was very happy. She had recruited another talented person, which meant that some of her work could be taken away. Yay!
Bai Li smiled happily: "If you're willing, you can come and complete the onboarding procedures tomorrow. Welcome to 'Day and Night Entertainment'."
Money makes the world go round, and many talented people like Su Yaqin were attracted by the benefits and subsidies and joined the company.
After the new staff arrived, Bai Li dumped all her work on others.
Work is terrifying, and the quiet of the night is terrifying!
Bai Li realized a profound truth: there is no end to the work, and in fact, there will always be more to do.
Jingye, this workaholic, not only keeps her own schedule packed full, but also makes sure that others have a very fulfilling schedule as well.
After being subjected to a brutal beating by Jingye, Bai Li raised her hands to indicate that she had behaved herself and would just stay behind the scenes and provide the money, leaving the actual work to the professionals.
As the company gradually took off, the building's leasing work also progressed. The "Little Crown" had no shortage of tenants due to its excellent location, high-end building quality, complete supporting facilities, and professional property management. Several tenants even signed contracts on the spot.
Floor after floor was rented out, contracts were signed, and everything was moving in a positive direction.
Bai Li was finally able to relax a little, so when she received news about Shi Shui during her free time, she had a feeling of being in another world.
