This star just wants to make more money

Chapter 135 Just tell me whether it’s faster or not

Luohe City is a busy modern metropolis, full of opportunities... but also full of frustrations.

"Fuck, I met another scam company!" A girl ran back to her rental house with lingering fear, "You really can't trust the recruitment information of these small companies!"

They said the monthly salary was 8-20k, but when I went to ask, it turned out to be 8 to 2k. Isn't it obvious that they are treating people as fools?

Moreover, the job content and responsibilities are quite vague, which makes people doubt what they are doing.

It’s okay if it’s a decent company, but if you encounter an irregular company, you might encounter something bad.

"Keep looking. You can't skip a meal, right..."

"..."

Half an hour later, the girl sighed as she looked at the meal in the formulaic national trend packaging, the sweet water of an unknown brand, and the classic soft spoon that bent with a touch, and felt that she had finally made it in her life.

It's not that she is too ambitious and has no skills but still wants this and that.

The main thing is that many of the companies recruiting online are not normal!
"This company is just a scam to trick people into serving as drinking companions, right?"

"And this, some entertainment company, I remember saying they were going to close down, but they're not laying off employees and are hiring? It doesn't feel right."

"This... doesn't seem to be a problem, mark it."

"..."

"Wow, this is a company I've never seen before. Let me take a look!"

The girl suddenly saw a recruitment information that seemed to have just been refreshed.

"Uh, the requirements for women are deep cleavage, thin waist and good-looking face, for a total of five positions? The requirements for men are strong, clean and 1.8 meters tall?! So, there are no other requirements?"

"as well as……"

The girl didn’t even read the rest of the content as she was already shocked by the explosive recruitment content.

Oh my god, is this so straightforward?

Nowadays, even if there are MCN companies recruiting marginal anchors, they will at most be reluctant to write a "good image and temperament", and then pretend to write a lot of conditions such as academic requirements, conversation requirements, professional requirements, etc.

Who else is as simple and straightforward as this recruitment information, requiring only the attribute of "good-looking"?

What kind of company is this? Don’t the police come to investigate?
After the strong surprise came the strong curiosity. The girl, who had been hanging around various recruitment platforms and changed four or five jobs in a year, reached out and clicked on the company's homepage.

"Acting?" The girl was stunned for a moment. "What kind of play doesn't even require acting skills? Is this play serious?"

"Meisha Use Technology... Hiss, why does the name of this company sound so, so familiar?"

Where have I seen this before?
After trying hard to recall for three or four seconds, she suddenly remembered that she seemed to have seen the name of this company in a very outrageous advertisement on the variety show "Singer" two days ago.

Yes, that extremely abstract smart chopstick!

She had searched for it out of curiosity before, but found that there was no such thing.

"This, this seems to be Xu Feng's company?! No, it seems to be a company he cooperates with."

The girl stood up immediately - she didn't pay much attention to the entertainment industry, but she would occasionally watch variety shows, and when she was bored on the road, she would look for good songs to kill time.

The name Xu Feng has become a household name in recent times.

Whether it was his own songs or the four songs he wrote for Lin Shenghuan to help her prove her faith, they had all become regulars on her playlist that she had been playing on repeat recently.

People who are seriously short of songs should be so happy during this period.

In the past, they could only play various old songs over and over again, and it would take them several hours to barely find a song in the vast sea of ​​songs that they could play over and over again a dozen or twenty times.

But when Xu Feng came, he wholesaled so many good songs like a production line.

For at least two months, those who are short of songs won’t have to look for songs.

"Since it's a company that cooperates with Xu Feng, it should be more or less reliable, right?" The girl thought of the name "Xu Feng" and immediately put on a filter, "And it looks like the money is not small."

The shooting time was about a week, and the remuneration was as high as 2!
And there is no threshold!
The veteran job seeker's keen intuition told her that this might be a very rare opportunity - if she was lucky, she might be able to accumulate considerable connections for herself.

Even if you are unlucky, you can still earn 2 yuan!

On the job search journey, she knows one thing very well - the lower the threshold on paper, the higher the actual threshold!
There is only one feasible shortcut, which is to rush in when there are still few people around!

She even stopped eating the traditional Chinese takeout. She opened the recruitment homepage of "Meishayong Technology" and sent a message directly to the person who looked like the HR there.

"Hello! I think I meet your company's recruitment requirements. When can I come for an interview?"

The other party seemed to be in a hurry as well. Within a few seconds of the message being sent, the chat box showed that the other party was editing the message.

"Hello, are you planning to apply for the position here? Let me remind you in advance that the positions here are serious jobs in the literal sense. I would like to remind you here to avoid any misunderstanding about our recruitment information."

Seeing this warm reminder sent by the other party, the girl was a little dumbfounded.

What kind of statement is this?

In the past, she always worried that those companies that secretly required appearance might have ulterior motives, but here, it was the exact opposite.

Make it clear that the requirement is only about appearance, but remind job seekers that this is a serious job and if they have other ideas, get out as soon as possible.

"Interesting, really interesting, I want to go!"

The girl immediately replied: "Confirmed, absolutely sure! When can I have the interview?"

"As soon as possible, we are always available, and registration is expected to close before 18: tomorrow."

The main reason is that the client is in a hurry, and the quality of the short play is just so-so, so it’s fine as long as the people they find are good enough, and there is no need to overly pursue the quality of the actors.

Otherwise, there would be no need for Xu Feng to post recruitment information online - it's not like he doesn't know the crew, nor does he have resources in the entertainment industry.

The main purpose is to save money.

It’s enough as long as the picture is eye-catching, even the dubbing can be added later.

"Okay! I'll come right away. Here's my resume... My name is Qiao Xuan!"

"..."

……

Meanwhile, the company.

Xu Feng hid in the office and remotely directed the work on site through video.

He was just planning to take charge of the event himself, but then a fan came and took the opportunity to ask for an autograph, and Xu Feng knew that someone else had to do it.

Therefore, the glorious job of sitting at the front desk was given to the two customers.

By the way, you can also let them exercise their subjective initiative and see how the products and services they purchased are implemented.

However, several applicants came here one after another, and none of them met Xu Feng's requirements.

No matter what the other party said, Xu Feng only had one response: "Sorry, your hard conditions do not meet the requirements."

He only spends money on looks, other attributes are not important!
After eliminating four or five people in a row, a girl in simple and plain clothes suddenly walked into the office door.

Her face is definitely not as pretty as Lin Shenghuan and Cheng Luan, but it’s still pretty good.

Her figure is even more average, not as curvy as Lin Shenghuan's, but at least she has some curves.

She is a pretty good beauty.

Xu Feng tried hard to recall the casting of the heroines and heroes in those short plays in his previous life, and thought about their extreme skin smoothing and foundation that could be used to cover walls.

This girl definitely qualifies.

With a little post-production retouching, some makeup, or simply using a beauty camera, you can definitely achieve the desired result.

Why do you need a bicycle for this little money? It’s enough!

Taking this order is just a temporary job to get some money related to film and television dramas.

The girl handed over her resume without any nervousness or embarrassment on her face. It was obvious that she was a seasoned veteran.

She said quickly: "Hello, I'm Qiao..."

"Very good, it's you, you're accepted." After getting the approval of Xu Feng in the background, the duo who were also in a hurry to keep their jobs did not waste any words, "Go to the meeting room in the back to sign the contract. If you have any questions, you can consult our lawyers."

After saying that, the male colleague waved to the back and said, "Next!"

They didn't know what Xu Feng was up to, but at this point, the money had been spent and time was running out, so all they could do was believe.

Qiao Xuan looked at the two people in front of her who were so impatient that the lines she had prepared in her mind were completely shattered.

You're accepted now?
I haven't even finished saying my name yet!
No matter how knowledgeable she is, she has never encountered such a situation.

Could you at least let me finish my sentence?

You really only look at the appearance, if you meet the standard, you'll pass, if you don't, you'll be eliminated, right? Why does it look so... so cheap?

It highlights the feeling of a makeshift team...

She just finished eating the formulaic takeout, and now she’s faced with the formulaic recruitment... She has been fighting against formulas all her life, right?

After complaining in her heart, Qiao Xuan could only pick up her bag and walk to the meeting room next door.

After signing a formal contract, Qiao Xuan came to the lounge.

She was the only one in the room so far.

"It seems that I arrived relatively early..."

Then, half an hour later, she watched a young man who was not ugly, a middle-aged man with a gray face, and others walk into the lounge one after another.

The man and woman in charge of recruitment walked in, and the expressions on their faces clearly said that they didn't expect Xu Feng to be so fast.

The procedure can be that simple.

Is this Xu Feng’s cheap version of expedited service?

Putting aside other things, it is really, really fast.

If you pay a lot of money, you can have the top-level enjoyment like Sister Huan, invincible works, super high efficiency, and you can even directly pull Xu Feng onto the stage to play the piano and perform...

Provide small workshop-style flat and fast service for a small amount of money?

It was originally expected that the recruitment would end tomorrow, but it only lasted a few hours!
For the sake of efficiency, Xu Feng would directly hire anyone he saw who was qualified, and would immediately close the recruitment channel once the quota was full.

Perhaps the qualified actors in front could only score 70 points at most, and there might be actors with 80 points coming in later, but for this super urgent order, Xu Feng didn't care about that at all.

If you miss the time, you're out of luck.

Don’t worry about the quality, the speed is really fast.

"Then let's go now to the shooting location, which is in the hotel lobby across the street. Let's get moving!"

Qiao Xuan was stunned: "So fast? Can you tell me a little bit more about what we are going to do?"

They had just signed the contract and hadn’t yet recovered from the shock. Where were they going?
"Filming, isn't it clear in the recruitment information?" At this time, Xu Feng finally came out from the backstage, holding a cup of Coke in his hand, "Now that everyone is here, get ready to leave, I'll wait for you over there."

After saying that, Xu Feng turned and left, leaving behind a circle of people looking at each other in bewilderment.

If they were not mistaken, the person just now should be Xu Feng, right?

Let’s not talk about the rationality of Xu Feng appearing in this place at this time...Isn’t he a singer?
Why are you suddenly filming a movie?
Moreover, everyone has the impression that filming is an extremely serious thing that requires huge investment, a long production cycle, and a payback period that is basically measured in years.

Even for something as entry-level as a web drama, the cost of each episode is usually in the six figures.

The amount of preparation work beforehand is so overwhelming.

It’s not that easy to just be an extra.

Why does it feel like Xu Feng is doing something very new now?
Judging from the atmosphere, they seem to be the leading actors!
What can they perform?

But thinking about the urban legend that Xu Feng claimed that he could get things done for money, the "actors" suppressed their confusion and followed him to the filming location.

The filming location was an auditorium in the hotel.

When Qiao Xuan pushed the door open, she saw all kinds of photography equipment, costumes, props, etc. prepared inside.

Xu Feng had been waiting here for a long time. He put the script he got from the system on the table and urged, "Everyone come over to get your own script, familiarize yourself with it, and try to shoot ten episodes today!"

In fact, Xu Feng also knows that short plays do require acting skills. Apart from the pay, the cost is not much different from that of traditional film and television dramas.

Shooting and post-editing also require a lot of skills.

The biggest gap is actually in the actors' pay.

However, this is all after the explosive development of short plays. Now, as long as we take those scripts that can quickly stimulate attention and let actors with good looks perform them without making the audience laugh, it will definitely stir up heat.

"Ten episodes?!" Qiao Xuan was stunned. "Teacher Xu Feng, did you just say ten episodes?"

Logically speaking, even if the filming process goes very smoothly, it would take several days to shoot an episode of a TV series with relatively less content, right?

What does ten episodes a day mean?

Although the others had no acting experience, they still found it outrageous when they heard about ten episodes a day.

The two customers who purchased the service were also confused.

So even if you don't sleep for 24 hours and shoot non-stop, one episode would only take you a little over two hours, right?
"Yes." Xu Feng didn't think there was a problem at all. "Everyone change your clothes, familiarize yourself with the lines and actions, and the first episode will start shooting in 20 minutes!"

"Finally, I would like to remind you that although we are not professional actors, it is best not to laugh during the filming, and it is best to memorize the lines so that we can lip-sync during the dubbing later."

"it is good!"

On one side were the actors who were paid to do the job, and on the other side were people who wanted to give it a try, with the awareness that it would be better to die than to be in Xu Feng's hands anyway. The efficiency on the scene was surprisingly high, and soon everyone changed into their performance costumes.

But no matter whether it is the exaggerated wigs, the fully saturated stockings or those props that are easily exposed and seem to have no other use except to convey information to the audience... they all give people a feeling of walking into a cosplay scene.

Judging from the title and introduction of the drama, "The Ultimate Medical Immortal" is an urban-themed drama, not a costume drama. Why is it so... so exaggerated?

What does Xu Feng want to do?
How could a drama that appears to be of very poor quality gain market share in this increasingly inward-looking market?
Nowadays, there are many TV dramas and movies that are advertised as "high-quality", starred by many popular stars, and invested a lot of money in publicity and promotion, but still fail.

You don't need to know much about the entertainment industry. As long as you watch some TV dramas or movies, you can see how shabby the current scene is.

How to make good TV series?

Could it be that he made too much money and wanted to have some fun?
Thinking of this, many actors felt relieved - yes, Xu Feng is so young, but he has released so many high-quality songs.

I don’t even know how much money I made when I wrote the song for Lin Shenghuan.

It can be seen from the fact that Xu Feng is too lazy to even release an album and that until now the only ways to listen to his songs are live versions that this guy must have made a lot of money.

Never mind, just take the money and do the job!

Soon, ten minutes passed.

Xu Feng found two pairs of men and women, brought a photography team, and went to a room in the hotel.

"You've probably all seen the plot, right?" Xu Feng said expressionlessly, "The male protagonist prepared a gift for his girlfriend on her birthday, went home early, and then discovered the affair in the bathroom."

Needless to say, the gift is naturally a unique "heirloom".

There is no need to explain the identity of the male protagonist. He is a classic who has the ability to bring the dead back to life, but he insists on delivering takeout food.

After being humiliated, being unreasonable, and having her heirlooms smashed, the heroine Qiao Xuan will break down the door and bring a whole box of money to beg the hero to save her old man.

The plot is similar afterwards. Everyone will take advantage of their power to bully the male protagonist, but the male protagonist will always be able to turn the tables in the end.

After Xu Feng recalled this headache-inducing plot in his mind, he looked at the situation inside the hotel room.

At this point, the actors are basically in place.

The male protagonist is wearing a yellow delivery boy's uniform, the sound of water splashing in the bathroom, and Qiao Xuan is standing outside the door ready to enter at any time.

"Crash!"

There are no rules in the shabby "crew". After everyone is ready, the shooting begins. The male protagonist returns home with his heirloom, full of joy, and plans to reveal his identity while giving the gift.

In order to allow the audience to quickly engage in the story, the background and character introductions were simply completed using the protagonist’s inner monologue.

Take a walk, have an inner monologue, and then look at the photo with my girlfriend... three minutes passed quickly.

The male protagonist arrived at the door and opened the door...

However, as soon as I entered, I heard the voices of a man and a woman coming from the bathroom.

The girl was acting heavily, and her deliberately soft voice drifted over: "Hurry up, he's about to get off work~"

To be honest, when seeing this, even the people watching, including Qiao Xuan and the photography team, couldn’t help but want to see what happened next.

It’s like... there’s some kind of alluring magic!
It's obviously of horrible quality, full of flaws, and the acting is so bad it's laughable, but they just want to keep watching.

However, at this moment, Xu Feng clapped his hands and said, "Okay, the first episode is finished. Everyone take a 30-second break and prepare for the second episode."

"???"

what? !

Everyone was stunned.

The first episode is over?!

It only took 5 minutes, and it was over?!
Xu Feng, what are you shooting?
