It is agreed that the 18th line will be top-notch?

In just two days, the peaceful group was thrown into a major turmoil.

All employees have the opportunity to appear in a movie to satisfy their acting itch.

Some managers even wrote their own names on the registration form.

Even though they work in entertainment companies, their daily lives have almost nothing to do with the "entertainment industry."

Although the group is related to the entertainment industry, many of the company's businesses are not directly related to the entertainment industry, and employees are not required to shoot movies or make sets.

Many people are handling the company's program backend, doing copywriting planning, communicating with other partners, being responsible for the layout of surrounding industries... and so on.

For example, all the employees in Yu Jingyu’s department belong to this situation.

Including Yu Jingyu himself, who is said to be the general manager of an important project of the entertainment company Kuiguang Group, but in fact he knows nothing about many things in the circle.

Apart from being able to get a lot of first-line gossip, many people are still in a "confused" state about the entertainment industry, and are even worse than those college students who were pulled in by Mr. Yang to be extras.

And companies rarely let employees work across fields.

Now, as an exception, many spots for extras have been made available, and many people are eager to try.

"Tsk, so many people from our department signed up?" Yu Jingyu was in the office, looking at the list in her hand, and complained, "It's really hard to make money, and it's just for fun."

"Is there anyone who says that about his own department? Other departments are just pumped up and have full centripetal force, but you are always making sarcastic remarks about everyone including yourself. Your centrifugal force is full, right?"

Yu Jingyu looked at the list, sighed, and said in self-abandonment: "...Forget it, I'll just write my own name on it, so that our family can be complete."

"What are you afraid of? For this audition, I squeezed in time here and there a few days ago and completed at least one day's worth of tasks in advance. This audition will only take a few hours at most, right?"

"Yes, we have completed the work ahead of time. Boss, go ahead and don't worry. If you get fired, just report my name."

"What's the point of telling your name? You have a close relationship with the big boss?"

"Psychological effects."

"..."

Not wanting to listen to the nonsense of these despicable guys, Yu Jingyu signed her name and handed the registration form to Qi Mu.

Not long after, Qi Mu's standardized message came over: "Since group performances are considered a form of labor dispatch, a corresponding remuneration contract is also required. I will send the contract format over, and you remember to check the fax machine."

"well!"

After waiting for a few minutes, the fax machine in the office started working and soon all the contracts were printed out.

Yu Jingyu waited for the printing to be completed, took the contract in her hand, and casually knocked on the table: "Those who want to audition, come quickly and sign the contract."

"What is this signing?" an employee asked curiously, "We haven't even finished the audition yet, why do we have to sign a contract?"

Isn't it normal that a specific contract will be signed only after it is confirmed that someone wants to be recruited as an extra?

In fact, most of them never thought that they would actually be in a movie in the end - it would be nice to have an immersive audition in the crew and feel the atmosphere of filming.

So we have to sign the contract now?

Yu Jingyu had long been accustomed to the group's unusual operations and explained, "The explanation given above is that auditions will delay everyone's work, affect work efficiency, and ultimately lead to a decline in performance, resulting in a reduction in everyone's final year-end bonus. Therefore, starting from the audition, all employees will receive compensation."

The employees looked at each other.

The company organized an event itself, and then said that the event might affect work, so it gave rewards to all employees who signed up for the event?
Isn’t it the company’s profits that are ultimately affected when work is affected?
Why do we have to pay compensation to employees in the end?

"As expected of Mr. Yang, if you were to say this somewhere else, I would really suspect that someone was dreaming."

"I've gotten used to it, can you believe it?"

“I’m not surprised that the company would do this.”

"..."

Everyone signed their names on the contract while chatting and laughing, without even reading the contents of the contract - everyone had so much trust in the group that they were too lazy to check the contents of the contract.

If the group wanted to kill me, there was no need to resort to such petty tricks.

……

Not far away, in the president's office, Yang Ruoqian was looking at the construction report of the overseas engineering team on the computer while asking the secretary sitting next to him: "How is the registration situation? Are there many employees who want to be extras?"

While processing the messages from various projects, Qi Mu responded: "It's quite a lot... but I think your contract has a greater impact."

Yang Ruoqian's contract directly tied all the candidates who wanted to sign up for the audition to the crew. If the audition failed, at least two days would be wasted. If the audition was successful, a week's work time might be wasted.

After signing the contract, it's too late to regret.

"It doesn't matter. Everything must be fair, just and open." Yang Ruoqian waved his hand. "How is the overseas branch of the group doing?"

Now the company has decided to build two branches.

"Not bad." Qi Mu nodded. "The environment in the place we chose is better, the approval process is shorter, and the taxation is relatively relaxed. But... the labor cost is higher than in China anyway."

"It doesn't matter if it's high."

If the review process in some regions was not too long, and there were not various things to deal with after the review process, which might not be completed in a quarter, Yang Ruoqian would actually choose regions with higher costs.

I heard that there was a factory that wanted to open a factory. It had completed all the formalities and processes in advance. However, as soon as construction began, various interest groups couldn't wait to come to the door.

On one side, they were protesting against a factory that had already completed afforestation and was occupying wasteland and destroying the natural environment. On the other side, they simply cut the wires and cables to forcibly prevent the factory from starting operations.

A factory was under repair for several years but still could not be completed.

Finally, the review process was restarted.

If the group were to encounter such a terrible thing, it would be a disaster even if it lasted until the next quarter, let alone several years.

If you want to avoid making a loss on paper, the most taboo thing is to spread out various projects.

All projects must concentrate their efforts to compete with the company's constant influx of revenue.

"Okay. The crew just sent me a message saying that everything is ready and they will be here for everyone's audition this afternoon."

Yang Ruoqian nodded: "Okay, remember to bring Luo Rujin with you."

If it were an ordinary crew, the director would definitely be dissatisfied with the strange behavior of allowing his own company's employees to participate in the audition.

But if the target is Kuiguang Group, then it won’t be so complicated.

How can ordinary people guess the foresight of Mr. Yang? Just do what he says, wait for the box office to explode, and reap the fame and fortune. Why think so much about what the boss thinks?
After Qi Mu left the office, Yang Ruoqian turned on the computer and played for a few hours, then took a quick lunch break. When it was almost time, he turned off the computer, got up, and slowly prepared to go to the audition site.

Luo Ruying came out from the side and said, "Boss, are you going to the audition too?" "Yes, you should be there now, right?" Yang Ruoqian asked casually, "How does it feel to be a 'teacher'?"

This skill of being able to be in many places at once is really convenient.

Maybe right now Luo Ruqin is upstairs with a stern face, pretending to be serious, just like the dignified, elegant and lively person she showed in her previous concerts.

Alas, ever since he was exposed last time, his rebellious son has become more and more casual in front of me.

"That's great! Thank you, boss! Hahahahaha, I just like this feeling of taking advantage of the power of the other side!"

Although she only has two places, others don't know about it.

Not to mention two places, even if there is only one place, she can still sit there and make decisions.

The corner of Yang Ruoqian's mouth twitched. He reached out and turned off Luo Ruying's phone. Then he walked out of the office and took the elevator to the company's audition point.

As a serious film, it is naturally impossible to recruit all the extras from within the company.

Extras from the company’s employees will only be used when it involves internal company plots.

Other extras are still recruited from the society or on campus.

Don’t be fooled by the company’s grand appearance. They even have an entire floor set aside for auditions and have decorated it in the AI ​​style. In fact, the proportion of real actors is very, very small.

When we arrived at the 9th floor, there were already quite a few people waiting in the nearby lounge and waiting room.

Many employees were not in the room, but stood up and walked to the audition site to watch.

"Wow, so this is how movies are shot?"

"Fuck, I didn't expect that Xiao Lu, who usually looks honest, is actually a dramatic actor? The expression on his face is so lifelike!"

"No, can you be so into the role of a corpse?"

"I feel like Shang Qianyu is trying not to laugh. Is it an illusion?"

"Ahhhhh, Luo's mother is also on the judges' panel, so dignified and elegant! I declare that Luo Ruying will be my goddess from now on!"

"Keep your voice down, the boss is right behind us, aren't you afraid of losing face?"

"Ah, when did you come..."

Yang Ruoqian ignored the voices. He smiled and nodded at everyone: "Filming is not an easy task. Thank you for your hard work."

As he spoke, he also glanced towards the audition site.

The audition is actually very simple. The director gives a scene and asks the employees to play the roles in it. Whoever performs well will have a chance to be selected.

The scene is very simple - the simulated scene now is that the protagonists and special forces have attacked the villain's company building and launched the final and most intense confrontation with the company's security team and employees.

As the main villain, he always launches righteous attacks on the protagonists.

Not only will there be villains to fight, but there will also be many machine gun towers and employees along the way to chase and intercept the protagonist group.

Of course, except for the villain protagonist, everyone else is cannon fodder, or extras.

At this time, an audition employee, with red eyes and a determined face, stood in the corridor for a final confrontation with the powerful protagonist group.

"Protect the company! Protect the company! Don't let them enter the computer room!"

"Cut off the power supply to Area C and trap them here!"

"We are resisting the enemy, requesting support!"

"what……"

The employee holding the gun fell down with a face full of anger and grief, and hit the ground heavily, with an open look in his eyes, as if the company was really going to be breached and his job was really going to be lost.

Mr. Yang was a little stunned.

Is this acting... a bit too deep into the role?
Bro, the company hasn’t closed down yet, and the canteen is still serving food as usual every day!
"Cut!" the director on the stage shouted, "Not bad, not bad. Go to the side and take a rest first. I'll let you know when the time comes. You have a good chance, young man!"

After hearing these words, the employee lying on the ground got up reluctantly and handed over all the props.

Perhaps it was Luo Ruqin who tipped off, or perhaps he was sharp-eyed, but after this audition, the director was not in a hurry to let the next person in, but waved at Yang Ruoqian.

"Boss Yang, please come and sit down."

Yang Ruoqian glanced at the employees who had not yet come out of the play with a strange expression, then walked towards the director suspiciously.

Before Yang Ruoqian could say anything, the director couldn't wait to speak up: "Boss Yang, this is a brilliant move."

I have a new trick, and it's even better...

Mr. Yang, who was used to this, took two seconds to calm down, gritted his teeth and asked with a smile: "What's wrong? Did my employees cause any trouble to the crew?"

"Mr. Yang, you're joking." The director said, "Most of the employees performed very well, with real emotions and no effort in acting. They are perfect for extras."

"Real feelings?"

"Yes." The director nodded happily. "Many people seem to have automatically put themselves in the shoes of the bad guys when the Kuiguang Group was attacked by bad guys. They took up arms to fight back, but in the end they were outnumbered and sacrificed heroically. This is exactly in line with our plot setting!"

As an AI villain, it is naturally impossible for him to commit crimes as completely as traditional villains.

Naturally there will be a group of real followers.

And these employees played the role of "employees who are completely loyal to the villain company" vividly, and their performance was even not worse than that of some veteran actors.

"...Haha, is that so? As long as it helps the movie, everything is fine." Yang Ruoqian, who had once again inexplicably helped the crew, laughed dryly, "Then I'll look around a bit more and won't affect your work for now."

"Boss Yang, take care."

Yang Ruoqian left the audition site and had no intention of continuing to walk around here. He turned around and walked towards the door.

When he was almost at the door, he saw a staff member stopping the employee who had just finished the audition and not allowing him to leave the room.

"I still have a job to do!"

"I'm sorry, but we were told by our superiors that filming is very tiring. Every employee who has finished filming must rest in the lounge for at least one working day before returning to work to avoid overwork affecting the quality of work." The staff member in charge of blocking the door apologized, "We will be held accountable if we let anyone escape."

“But I’m really not tired!”

"It's written in black and white in the contract you signed." The staff kindly reminded, "Maybe you are really tired? After all, the big boss will not make mistakes." (End of this chapter)
