Seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune, I became a legend in the entertainment industry by avo

Seeing Zhang Qilin leave, Gong Lijun spoke first:

"This candidate is really good. I think he acts better than the actor who plays the 'idiot' now. We can train him in this direction."

Yang Lixin pushed up her glasses and shook her head in opposition:

"Teacher Gong, don't you think it's a huge waste to let him play the 'idiot'? With his image and acting skills, he could be trained as a pillar of the show."

Wu Gang nodded in agreement.

Gong Lijun smiled and looked at Yang Lixin:

"He's a good candidate, and I like him a lot. I'd like to give him more important roles, but the problem is, what can we offer to keep him?"

These words made Yang Lixin smile bitterly to herself.

Yes, how do we retain talent?

This has been the most troublesome problem for the Beijing People's Art Theatre for many years.

With the prestigious reputation of the Beijing People's Art Theatre, it's not difficult to attract outstanding young people.

But once they've been trained and developed, outside capital will come waving their money to reap the benefits.

However, the Beijing People's Art Theatre lacked the strength to compete with those capital firms, resulting in the talent it cultivated being poached by others.

This leads to the fact that when selecting talent, the Beijing People's Art Theatre prioritizes compatibility over overall quality.

Wu Gang looked at Pu Cunxin:

"Vice President Park, when will the problem of not being able to retain talent be solved? If we nurture a well-rounded talent like Zhang Qilin properly, the Beijing People's Art Theatre will have no shortage of pillars for decades to come. We can't let the Beijing People's Art Theatre's 'two major disasters' continue to cycle like this."

As the vice president of Beijing People's Art Theatre, Pu Cunxin also longed to change the status quo.

But the Beijing People's Art Theatre is, after all, a public institution, and compared to those capital firms willing to spend money, its appeal is really limited.

After a moment's hesitation, he spoke in a calm tone:

"Zhang Qilin will be admitted as a regular intern and will not be included in the key training list. How far he can go depends on himself."

Yang Lixin sighed inwardly; it was still the same as before.

However, he also understood the difficulties faced by the Beijing People's Art Theatre.

Resources are limited, so we can only focus them on the relatively better prospects who are likely to stay.

……

After leaving, Zhang Qilin did not linger and took a taxi directly back to Beijing Film Academy.

He had been working from dawn till dusk to prepare for the interview.

Now that it's finally over, no matter the outcome, he needs to relax.

I got back to school after noon.

He ate a meal alone at a restaurant off campus, took a bath at the public bathhouse, and went back to his dormitory to sleep.

He slept soundly until 10 a.m. the next day, when he finally woke up.

Upon waking up, a message appeared in front of my eyes.

[Reward: Luck Value +5, Passerby Affinity Fragment +1]

Zhang Qilin was secretly delighted. He now had two fragments of the "public appeal" destiny, which would be a great help in his bid for stage roles at the Beijing People's Art Theatre.

The fact that the reward has been credited to his account means he passed the interview.

He will spend at least the next six months at the Beijing People's Art Theatre.

The distance between Beijing Film Academy and Beijing People's Art Theatre is not close.

He remembered seeing in his research that when interning at the Beijing People's Art Theatre, one had to get up at four or five in the morning every day to practice.

If he has to travel back and forth every day, it will not only cost a lot of money, but also be a huge drain on his energy.

If you want to sleep a little longer, the best way is to rent a place near the Beijing People's Art Theatre.

Thinking of this, Zhang Qilin immediately got up to wash up.

I plan to look at houses near the Beijing People's Art Theatre after dinner.

I was eating when my phone rang.

When he looked at the caller ID, he saw that it was Gu Liangyuan calling, which made him frown.

Didn't I already make that clear to him?

What's the purpose of calling at this time?

Although he didn't want to answer the phone, reason compelled him to do so.

The call was connected, and Gu Liangyuan's enthusiastic voice came through:

"Qi Lin, it's been so long since we last contacted each other, what have you been up to?"

Zhang Qilin didn't want to deal with the other party, so he said perfunctorily:

"Hello, Mr. Gu, I'm currently busy with my internship."

"An internship is a big deal. I know a few people who can introduce you to their film crew..."

"No need, Mr. Gu," Zhang Qilin interrupted him. "I've already passed the interview for the Beijing People's Art Theatre, and I'll be interning there in a few days."

"What?" Gu Liangyuan was clearly taken aback. "Isn't the entrance exam for the Beijing People's Art Theatre every August or September? How can you be starting your internship now?"

After hearing Gu Liangyuan's words, Zhang Qilin understood that the other party must have secretly investigated the recruitment arrangements of the Beijing People's Art Theatre.

It seems the other party still hasn't given up on him.

This made him wary, and he secretly resolved to stay away from the other person.

But on the surface, he pretended to be enthusiastic as he introduced:

"That's right, Mr. Gu. To commemorate Mr. Cao Yu, the Beijing People's Art Theatre will be holding many important events this year, and the theatre is recruiting interns from various universities in advance..."

Zhang Qilin told Gu Liangyuan this information because it was already public knowledge, and the other party could easily find out by asking around.

Deliberately concealing it might alert the enemy.

Right now, he doesn't want Gu Liangyuan to know that he's already on guard against him.

As Gu Liangyuan listened to Zhang Qilin's explanation, he couldn't help but curse inwardly that the other party was really unlucky.

He was surprised to encounter such a favorable situation, which made him realize that he had to bring his plans forward. If Zhang Qilin were to become a formal employee of the Beijing People's Art Theatre, things would become much more complicated.

He suppressed his emotions and first offered his congratulations with a smile:

"Qilin, you've really encountered a great opportunity. As long as you work hard, you'll definitely be able to get into the Beijing People's Art Theatre. I'm genuinely happy for you."

"Thank you, Mr. Gu."

"Qi Lin, where are you now?"

"I'm having lunch at the college, but I have to go out soon."

"Perfect timing. I'll be at the north gate of your college in one minute. Let's meet there without interrupting your business."

Zhang Qilin didn't want to meet the other person, but the other person had already blocked his way at the school gate.

After a moment's hesitation, he could only reply:

"Okay, Mr. Gu, I'll be right there."

Five minutes later, outside the north gate of Beijing Film Academy.

Zhang Qilin opened the door of a black Mercedes-Benz C-Class parked on the roadside and sat in the passenger seat.

He wore a polite smile and spoke in a courteous tone.

"Mr. Gu, you look even better these past few days. May I ask what brings you here?"

Gu Liangyuan patted Zhang Qilin on the shoulder warmly:

"Qi Lin, there's no need for us to be so formal. Although we didn't sign a contract last time, I still think highly of you. Once you get into the Beijing People's Art Theatre, I believe we'll have new opportunities to work together."

"I also look forward to cooperating with you," Zhang Qilin said with a sincere smile. "I wonder what brings you here this time..."

Gu Liangyuan leaned forward slightly, revealing a sincere and open expression:

"Since you didn't sign a contract, the company gave the 'Super Boy' talent show opportunity that was originally intended for you to Ren Weiyi. This show has a lot of exposure, it's a real pity that you didn't participate."

He paused, observing Zhang Qilin's reaction, before continuing:

"However, I've secured a recording opportunity for you in the 'Friends' Blessings' segment. Although it's just a brief appearance in a video and a few words, being able to air during prime time is already a rare opportunity for exposure for a newcomer."

After hearing this, Zhang Qilin maintained his smile, but became wary in his heart.

Would he really be that kind?

There's probably a conspiracy behind this.
