MTL - You Don’t Understand The Pain Of Being Popular-Chapter 37 Thirty-seventh day of explosion

After the recruitment information was sent out, Yao Bianliang received some resumes and submissions one after another.

Among them, the number of screenwriters who came to her was the largest.

Probably because her recruitment information was too targeted, most of the new screenwriters who hadn't made it through saw it, and submitted their manuscripts with the mentality of giving it a try.

"Tsk, what are these screenwriters doing? Eight out of ten scripts are about dating."

Yao Bianliang looked at these drama titles and sighed.

Didn't she make it clear enough in the job posting? To be innovative, to be niche!

You put on the skin of a niche drama, but the protagonist is in a relationship, and the routine is exactly the same as other small sweet dramas. Is this still a niche?

In short, this kind of drama should not be wanted at all.

After Yao Bianliang eliminated various hit themes, only 20% remained.

"Hmm...An anti-war drama? This one seems pretty good." Among the few remaining scripts, Yao Bianliang finally found a script that he could read.

Soldiers wore suits, oiled their hair, and lived extravagantly. If this kind of drama is really filmed, the audience will not be scolded to death.

But soon, after recalling the rules of the host, Yao Bianliang was gone.

No, the system will definitely not allow this kind of bad drama with three views to be wrong.

In desperation, Yao Bianliang eliminated all the messy and bad dramas and threw them aside.

All that remained on the table were the last three scripts.

A youth school drama praising the relationship between teachers and students, a drama related to the medical industry, and a palace drama in the fairy world.

Yao Bianliang was the first to rule out youth school dramas.

This thing mainly talks about the relationship between teachers and students, with warmth and remembrance, one will become the second "To Our Youth"

As for the palace drama in the fairy world, it tells a story about the gods in the fairy world fighting for power and profit.

Obviously, this was not her first choice.

After careful consideration, Yao Bianliang turned his attention to the last script.

"It's related to the medical industry... Well, this drama seems to be good?" Yao Bianliang was thoughtful.

Don't look at the many dramas about doctors nowadays. In fact, the core of most dramas is about falling in love.

Regardless of whether the male protagonist is a doctor or the female protagonist is a doctor, the final development path must be love.

The content of this script is exactly the opposite.

The screenwriter describes the group of medical staff from the point of view and from the perspective of a female nurse. The descriptions of various cases are very detailed and close to reality, and there are even many places that need to use professional terms.

Doctors, nurses, patients, family members, hospital... Each character does not appear many times, but they are all very three-dimensional.

Each case is like a small unit plot, which is about 5 minutes long when presented to the audience.

In the penultimate unit plot, the heroine as a nurse watched her friend die on the operating table. She was full of pain and regret, and this became the most important turning point in her life.

Finally, the hospital organized everyone to carry out medical assistance activities. For the righteousness in her heart, the heroine bid farewell to her parents and relatives, applied without hesitation, and went to a place with a difficult environment to continue treating diseases and saving lives.

The theme of this drama is to pay tribute to medical staff, but in addition, it also discusses some practical issues. Such as doctor-patient relationship, medical resources, etc.

Yao Bianliang had to admit that the quality of the script was quite good.

However, the key problem is that the tone of the whole show is too depressing!

Every case is full of struggles, pains, and discussions about human nature. In the oppressive atmosphere, there is a faint hope.

It wasn't until the end, when the heroine embarked on the road of medical assistance, that the audience finally saw the dawn of hope.

But that's all.

There is no perfect happy ending, and the heroine has not achieved success in the eyes of the world. Although the light of hope and redemption is revealed at the end, it is only concentrated in the last unit.

"This drama is really good." Yao Bianliang couldn't help being pleasantly surprised.

Don't look at the current audience complaining about "brainless sweet drama" and "screenwriter cerebral palsy" all day long, but if you really make a film and television work that purely exposes reality, most audiences may not be willing to watch it.

Just imagine, the working party and the student party have worked hard all day and finally come home, planning to lie on the bed and watch short dramas to relax.

As a result, when I swipe down, I get to a drama with a heavy tone——

The rhythm is slow, I didn't see the point for a long time, and there was heavy and sensational background music playing.

Doesn't this stuff cause trouble for people?

I am afraid that most people will choose to skip directly.

In fact, what the vast majority of audiences really want to watch is the kind of film and television works that combine realism and dramatic conflict.

In the work, you can explore reality and expose human nature, but the whole play must have bright spots, turning points, and climaxes, so that the audience can feel refreshed and satisfied.

In this way, it can be regarded as a work that combines commerciality and artistry.

Those film and television works that are popular but not popular, only achieve the former, but not the latter.

Yao Bianliang still remembers that in the world of her previous life, there was a director who made a famine-themed movie.

In that movie, the actors are all extremely skilled in acting. In order to capture the feeling of the famine, they even ate bran and swallowed vegetables for more than half a month, just to capture the state of extreme hunger.

The whole movie has a plot, depth and connotation.

But so what?

The drama ended up being a disaster, and the box office became the bottom of the list.

But now, what Yao Bianliang wants is such a work!

It has its unique connotation and value, and can meet the requirements of the system; at the same time, its commercial value is extremely low, and no one cares about it at all.

This is the perfect option!

Yao Bianliang checked the calendar again, and immediately showed a smile.

Very good, if the filming of this drama can be completed smoothly, it should be released during the Spring Festival.

She vaguely remembered that in her previous life, the director who shot realistic themes released the movie on the Spring Festival.

In the end, because the plot was too depressing, I lost everything.

After all, how many people are willing to watch such depressing movies in this day when the whole family is happy and welcomes the new year together?

Although she is not filming a movie this time, her morals are always the same.

No one wants to watch it, which means there is no playback volume.

The requirement of the system this time is precisely that the playback volume should be low enough.

Yao Bianliang turned to the last page of the script and looked at the signature on it—

An Xincheng?

"Okay, it's you!" The corners of Yao Bianliang's lips rose slightly.

Even if this kind of script can get good reviews, it will definitely hit the street to the end!

———

Two days later, early in the morning.

Zhou Fei came to Artie's office building with his resume and ID card.

"The twelfth floor, Hudi Entertainment Studio, should be here, right?"

He looked at the text on the information, then looked up at the office building, feeling full of apprehension.

After resigning from Ansheng Entertainment, he also sent his resume to many companies, but all of them fell silent.

My friend said that he might have been blacklisted in this situation, and most companies would not want him as an employee.

Of course, if you just find a small company, you should still have a chance to get a job. After all, Zhou Fei also graduated from a prestigious 985 university, otherwise it would be impossible for him to go to Ansheng Entertainment as soon as he graduated.

But Zhou Fei was unwilling to let it go.

After spending a few days like this, Zhou Fei finally saw the recruitment information of a studio that afternoon.

Hudi Entertainment Studio.

It's also a small business. The scale is small, obviously it is newly established. Although the salary and benefits are not bad, but this is not an important reason to attract Zhou Fei.

What really attracted Zhou Fei was the company's unique recruitment announcement.

Zhou Fei checked all the information of this studio in detail, and after looking carefully, he found that this is indeed a unique studio.

When others recruit employees, they all say that those with rich experience and previous achievements are preferred; while this studio recruits employees, there is no requirement for experience, but they say that those with innovative spirit are preferred.

Not only that, but other companies need them to create data crazily, create heat, and stir up topics; but this company has no requirements for these, but only tells them to carefully observe the data.

Perhaps, this newly established studio is different from other companies?

What's more, the salary offered by this studio is very good, even comparable to many large enterprises.

With this in mind, Zhou Fei finally decided to give it a try.

At this time, it was already past working hours, and there were not many people downstairs.

When Zhou Fei walked to the door, he saw a well-dressed middle-aged man walking towards him.

It looks a little familiar.

Zhou Fei didn't even recognize it when he saw it for the first time. After a few seconds, he slowly slowed down.

Hmm... wait, this is not right.

Why does this middle-aged man approaching him look so much like Manager Zheng?

…

Manager Zheng was not in a very good mood at this time.

In any case, he never thought that he had worked in Ansheng Entertainment for so many years, and he had worked hard without credit. As a result, the boss called and fired him!

The reason for his dismissal is very simple, saying that he used public affairs for personal gain and unreasonably allocated company resources.

In fact, this is not wronged him. But this kind of thing has long been considered an unspoken rule in the entertainment industry. From top to bottom in Ansheng Entertainment, who hasn't done this kind of thing?

Now the company suddenly fired him, probably because he offended someone.

And this guess has also been verified in the follow-up time.

After Manager Zheng was fired, he immediately contacted several large entertainment companies. Originally, with his qualifications, it was not difficult to change jobs. But without exception, they were all declined.

He thought about it, recalling the words that the boss said he "distributed the company's resources unreasonably", combined with the recent rumors about Yao Xinxin and Lu Yanchen, he finally figured out the taste.

I'm afraid, this matter still started because of Yao Xinxin.

He refused to allocate resources to Yao Xinxin, but Yao Xinxin turned around and complained to Young Master Lu, who backed her up and fired him directly.

Thinking of this, Manager Zheng also felt wronged.

This Yao Xinxin has an illegal relationship with Lu Shao, and he doesn't know it!

But if he knew this, he wouldn't give Yao Xinxin any embarrassment, and it would be too late to hold him up.

However, the matter has come to this point, and it is useless to say more.

When he ran back to beg for mercy, Manager Zheng couldn't hold back his face, so he simply turned his attention to the small company.

After several screenings, this "Hudi Studio" has low recruitment requirements and high salaries.

Most importantly, he compared the information and found that although this Hudi Entertainment studio was newly established, the risk factor was extremely small, and there was no sign of bankruptcy or running away for the time being.

This is undoubtedly the best choice.

In fact, in the past, Manager Zheng would never even glance at such a small company.

But now he didn't have much choice. After thinking about it, he finally decided to give it a try.

"Forget it, try to join this company first, and then see if you can continue to change jobs in the future." Manager Zheng pondered.

In his opinion, it is completely overqualified for a person with his qualifications and level to participate in an interview for such a small company.

Seeing his glamorous experience, the other party has no choice but to confess him. How dare you push him out?

Therefore, Manager Zheng was not worried about failing the interview at all.

What he is thinking about now is how to ride a donkey to find a horse and find a next home after he finds this job.

With this in mind, Manager Zheng came to the notice board in front of the office building and stopped.

He was about to look at the content above when a dry voice sounded from behind him.

"Zheng... Manager Zheng?!"

Manager Zheng turned his head abruptly, and met Zhou Fei's unbelievable gaze.

Hmm... this young man, does he look familiar?

Manager Zheng paused for two seconds before suddenly remembering.

That's right, this person seems to be an employee of Ansheng Entertainment, a newcomer who just graduated from university.

Not long ago, he mocked the other party for his youthful vigor, and waved his hand to ask him to go to the personnel department to receive his salary.

Unexpectedly, after going around, they met here again.

Manager Zheng looked at Zhou Fei with some doubts. Could it be that this stunned young man also works in this office building?

It can't be... You are also here for an interview, right?

Both of them were a little embarrassed, and nodded to each other as a greeting.

In fact, Manager Zheng felt guilty besides embarrassment. He didn't want Zhou Fei to realize that he was also unemployed.

While his thoughts were spinning rapidly, he deliberately pretended to look at the notice board and waited in place.

Two minutes later, after Zhou Fei entered the elevator, Manager Zheng breathed a sigh of relief and walked towards the elevator.

In this way, the two of them should be able to stagger perfectly, right?

The elevator rose slowly from floor to floor, and finally stopped at the 12th floor.

"Ding"

With a soft bang, the elevator door slowly opened.

Manager Zheng stepped out of the elevator and found that there were already three or four people sitting on the sofa waiting for the interview.

Zhou Fei sat in it and looked up. Manager Zheng's eyes happened to meet his.

The four eyes met, and there was silence.

Zhou Fei: "..."

Manager Zheng: "..."

Manager Zheng's heart was growing wildly, and Zhou Fei was also shocked.

Holy crap, it turns out that Manager Zheng is also here for the interview?

With this person's level, even if he wants to change jobs, he shouldn't come to such a small company, right?

Zhou Fei couldn't figure out what went wrong at all.

It never occurred to him that after finally finding a studio he liked, he would run into Manager Zheng.

It's just bad luck.

Did he have a conflict with this manager in his previous life?

Looking at Manager Zheng, who had an uneasy face, Zhou Fei also had a bitter face, and his mood was not as relaxed as before.

With Manager Zheng's qualifications, it is a breeze to get an interview into this small studio.

At that time, there are nothing more than two situations.

First, Manager Zheng successfully joined the job and squeezed out his position. He failed the interview.

Second, both he and Manager Zheng have successfully joined the job, so he will continue to be Manager Zheng's subordinate.

No matter what kind of situation it is, Zhou Fei doesn't want to see it.

"Manager Zheng, are you... coming to the interview too?" Zhou Fei tried to confirm with his last hope.

He very much hoped to hear a negative answer from the other party.

And hearing his name, two other job seekers turned their heads and looked over.

Oh, Manager Zheng? This man turned out to be a manager.

Does the manager even have to apply?

At this moment, the moods of several people were strangely synchronized, creating a strong sense of crisis.

"...Well." Manager Zheng has also accepted his fate.

He straightened some collars, trying to suppress his guilt and embarrassment. He sat down on the sofa with a cheeky face and said, "Xiao Zhou, are you here for the interview too?"

Zhou Fei's last glimmer of hope was slowly shattered.

He nodded awkwardly: "Well, yes."

After this conversation ended, neither of them said anything, and the scene became quiet again.

"Tap, tap, tap", at this moment, a burst of footsteps sounded.

A girl dressed as an assistant came over and broke the silence: "Now that everyone is here, the interview will officially begin, shall we?"
