Chapter 6
A few days ago, Random Entertainment's recruitment was in full swing, and with the contrast of peers, the conditions Random Entertainment offered stood out directly, and even attracted people jumping ship from other companies.
In Beijing, a 5,000 base salary is not considered high. Rent alone takes up most of the pay. But Random Entertainment offered a 5,000 base salary, social security and housing fund based on the actual salary.
As for weekends off and 9 to 5 working hours, it would be too difficult to achieve that in an entertainment company. But Random Entertainment's reply was that overtime would be paid overtime wages, which means the overtime pay would be on top of their base salaries.
With an average monthly income of 15,000 yuan.
Just take the subway for commuting, rent won't exceed 5,000, meals are provided at the company, so quite a bit can be saved every month. For young people nowadays, this is basically an offer they can't refuse.
After completing the recruitment and signing tasks, Jiang Juyou's level rose to Level 3. She unlocked several waiting rooms with the increased loan limit for temporary use as office space for employees. She then unlocked the stage and auditorium. With the remaining money, she got two commuter vans. And that's how she spent all the money clean.
The employees officially started yesterday. She gave some of them pre-job training and talked until she was hoarse.
With such a big fanfare, those unaware would think she had recruited dozens of people. But there were only five: two for the new talent management team, one male and one female, responsible for managing the trainees; the remaining three were for the operations and planning department - three girls whose main job was to take photos, edit images, make posters, and edit videos.
She and the system would take care of the remaining work.
Jiang Juyou mentioned this in the family group chat before the interview. Her two sisters who thought she went to the HR department of an entertainment company breathed a sigh of relief, at least she could stay away from troublemakers.
Her younger sister Jiang Liuxing knew she was recruiting graphic designers, and gave her tips to send the works to her for review.
"Jiang Juyou's Grocery Store: How is it, are they qualified?"
"Liuxing is Ziwei Star: They must be fans."
"Jiang Juyou's Grocery Store: ? How do you know?"
"Liuxing is Ziwei Star: They hit the fandom aesthetic too accurately. They must have been in a fan club or fan site before."
"Liuxing is Ziwei Star: Companies usually don't hire fans because these people mingle on various platforms and are prone to leaks. If they get exposed or slip up using official accounts, the company's image would be ruined."
"Liuxing is Ziwei Star: Ask them who they stan. As long as it doesn't clash with your company, you can keep them. People familiar with fandom aesthetics can quickly retain fans. Just don't let them manage the official accounts."
Jiang Juyou didn't understand but followed Jiang Liuxing's instructions. She had separate talks with the three candidates who passed the final interview. After careful consideration, she kept all three of them, but had them sign non-disclosure agreements, as well as the two new talent managers.
After confirming the candidates, she gave them a day to prepare before the onboarding training the next day.
There wasn't much to train on, just having them download an app.
Jiang Juyou used the "Entertainment Company Operations Manual", while the employees used "Random Entertainment". It was an internal software for transferring files and communicating. Even clocking in and out required using it for real-time location tracking.
Since Jiang Juyou's current level was still very low, the functions were quite simple, simple to the point they might not use the app if it weren't a company requirement.
There was more to brief for the new talent management team. Their job was to manage a few trainees, communicate with the teachers in advance, keep an eye on the trainees at all times, and both of them had to be able to answer if she asked about the trainees.
Today was the first time the five trainees came to the company. Jiang Juyou also had things to brief them on, first was the "Random Entertainment" app.
"Scan this code and download the app. You are required to upload two videos daily, one singing and one dancing. Your teachers will also review and give feedback on it."
"The class schedule will also be displayed on it, check it in advance and just come to class for lessons and practice every day."
Jiang Juyou looked at the young boys standing in a row, their expressions serious and attentive. Her expression also became sincere, "In a month's time, you must prepare at least four complete group singing and dancing stages, one group dance stage, and two solo stages in different styles for each person."
"I think you understand what I mean. Yes, you will be on stage two months later." She added solemnly.
Her words made the five boys widen their eyes and look at each other, somewhat incredulous. Among the five, probably only half had fundamentals. They were all newbies, how could they be on stage after practicing for just two months?
But amidst the shock, some were afraid while others were excited. Listening to Jiang Juyou's words, Gao Xiayu's eyes lit up noticeably.
The training system was currently the most reliable system domestically and abroad, no longer anything fresh. But Jiang Juyou's approach of picking newbies for them to be on stage after two months of practice was quite rare.
She chose this model not because of any research, but purely because she was out of money. Jiang Juyou needed them to grow quickly to pay back the system loan as soon as possible.
Damn, the interest rate was quite scary.
She originally thought she could keep borrowing as long as she leveled up. Later she found out the maximum loan term was one year. That meant she had to pay back the few million a year later, or it would be directly deducted from her salary regardless of whether she continued working at this company.
There was no way Jiang Juyou would endure that. It would be more painful than killing her.
After feeding the five boys a big pie, she led them through the backstage alley to under the stage.
They didn't go up the stage from the sides on the first floor. Instead, they stood on the lift below basement one. As the lift started moving up, they also slowly rose to the ground. The stage lights shone over, obscuring the darkness below.
Ye Xing, who stood in the middle, was bathed in the spotlight. He raised his hand to block the glare before he could see below.
Plastic chairs were placed below the stage, and further back was covered in black cloth, dim and lightless.
The boss's voice sounded nearby, "See that? This venue can hold over 2,000 people. The area with the plastic chairs in the front is the number of people your first showcase can hold - 120 seats. How many people do you think will come, and how long will it take to fill up this venue?"
Jiang Juyou looked calm, talking to them about the future. But the reason only the area in front of the stage had chairs was because that seat block was only Level 1. It had to be upgraded to have more seats, but she was out of money.
"Standing here, you might feel it's not very big. But looking up at the stage from below, it's much bigger. Just relying on you guys, can you make sure the stage doesn't feel empty with your presence?" Jiang Juyou asked solemnly again.
It was about twice the size of half a practice studio, and the stage extended out a bit in a Y shape, so the theater was quite large, but the reason there weren't too many seats was that the stage alone took up half the space.
The advantage of this was that it was close, so even without a big screen, you could see the expressions on people's faces clearly, and the stage effects would be great.
As Jiang Juyou spoke, several boys listened intently, their faces filled with longing. Jiang Juyou nodded in satisfaction.
Since the cyber cakes had eaten their fill, it was time for them to grow well from here on.
She also looked forward to the day this place would be filled.
