407: Chapter 407 Linyi Film and Television Expands its Staff! How could they possibly lack talent?

Chen Tao felt that Su Yang was different from all the other young bosses she had met before.

He seemed very down-to-earth and approachable.

She had sensed this kind of approachability in only a very small number of wealthy individuals when attending events.

But Su Yang clearly possessed more masculine charm.

It made a woman like her, who was used to seeing handsome men, feel an urge to get a little closer to him.

However, Su Yang clearly didn't think that much about it; he quickly gathered the key creative team for the TV series.

Tang Ximing, Song Changyuan, Chen Keying, An Xinlei, and Tan Jiabei were all very respectful when they saw Chen Tao, and they all took the initiative to greet her.

After all, among this group of actors, Chen Tao was the most famous and had debuted the earliest.

At her peak, she was an A-list actress, and even Tang Ximing was just a minor role in front of her.

Not to mention Song Changyuan, Chen Keying, An Xinlei, and Tan Jiabei!

Chen Tao didn't put on any airs either, smiling and greeting Tang Ximing and the others one by one.

She just took an extra look at An Xinlei, feeling that this girl was very special.

After gathering the TV series' creative team, Su Yang briefly explained the rules of the crew.

Hearing that not even the director could change the script at will—that to change the script, one first had to obtain the consent of the screenwriter and producer, and finally, the producer had to submit an application to him... Chen Tao was a bit surprised!

Su Yang seemed to be doing something very new; was he moving towards the Korean screenwriter-centered system?

However, she didn't say anything.

The script was indeed good, and she had no intention of changing the script or the plot in the first place.

Moreover, Su Yang's move placed the greatest restrictions on the director; if the director had no objections, she certainly wouldn't either.

As for Xu Qian... naturally, Su Yang, who was both the boss and the investor, held the most authority!

Su Yang briefly cheered everyone on and offered some encouragement.

He also treated everyone to a big meal at a restaurant!

As for the press conference, he certainly wouldn't be attending.

Once everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, Su Yang very discreetly left with An Xinlei.

Only Lin Yi and An Xinlei's agent knew where she went.

Naturally, Lin Yi wouldn't say anything indiscreet.

As for An Xinlei's agent, she was practically begging for her artist to latch onto the big boss!

She would definitely do everything in her power to provide cover for her!

In the time that followed, Spark Media joined forces with Chen Tao's agency to promote and build hype for Chen Tao and the TV series, at least ensuring the public knew that such a TV series was starting production.

After the passion, Su Yang asked An Xinlei about her situation at Linyi Film and Television.

Lin Yi treated her well; her agent and assistant had all been arranged for her.

Recently, it was even said that a nanny van would be arranged for her.

Her acting teacher and runway teacher were already in place, and she attended tutoring classes every night!

Upon hearing her words, Su Yang gently kissed her forehead and encouraged her: "Study hard. Once your acting improves, I will arrange better roles for you!"

"Mm!"

"You know, I must be responsible for my money. You wouldn't want to become one of those B-list stars who have no representative works and only rely on traffic, right?"

"Mm! I will work hard!"

Su Yang's candor actually made An Xinlei feel very secure.

Besides, for anyone who sets foot in the entertainment industry, who doesn't hope to have a representative work?

It's just that most people lack the opportunity or the strength!

Didn't An Xinlei want to gain both fame and fortune?

Of course she did!

"This path will surely be very arduous, but if you walk it well, you might even become a cultural imprint of this era, a goddess in the memories of a generation of viewers..."

"Can I be like Wang Zuxian? I really like her!"

Su Yang's words hit the nail on the head!

Her light brown eyes stared at Su Yang, filled with both anticipation and excitement!

"If the work is excellent enough and happens to fit your characteristics, it's not impossible!" Su Yang gently held her in his arms and mused, "This requires careful selection: selecting the best script, the best director, producer, and other behind-the-scenes teams, as well as your peak acting performance, your best state, and some luck!"

"Brother Yang!"

"Hm?"

"Love me!"

"Aren't you exhausted?"

"I feel like I've regained my energy!"

"..."

The next day, Su Yang rushed to Linyi Film and Television to start recruiting employees for the company.

The employees being recruited this time were mainly crew members.

The goal was to assemble one hundred full-time employees for Linyi Film and Television!

According to the system's evaluation, skill levels were divided into: Beginner, Ordinary, Skilled, Proficient, Master, and Grandmaster.

Because it was difficult for Linyi Film and Television to have over a thousand employees, Su Yang's standards for hiring were quite strict!

From the production team, director's team, photography team, sound recording team, lighting team, art team, action team, and stunt team, to post-production, anyone with Proficient-level professional skills was hired directly!

Others who had Skilled-level skills but were young were also hired.

Those with two-star or three-star professional talent were also hired!

Su Yang didn't care how much it would cost to support these people; he only wanted professional talent!

He didn't demand top-tier in the country, but he did demand that the overall strength of the entire behind-the-scenes team be first-class in the country, with no weaknesses.

Of course, while interviewing these professional talents, Su Yang also took the time to interview actors.

It was very difficult for actors to make a name for themselves nowadays.

In the past, everyone valued formal training, acting skills, and having solid, hard-earned skills.

Now, the entertainment industry is rampant with traffic idols, and all sorts of monsters and demons can act; everyone runs off to become an actor.

Those formally trained actors had an even harder time!

So when Linyi Film and Television posted a recruitment notice stating that they wanted to sign a batch of formally trained actors for training, many students, or those who had graduated but were not doing well, or those who had changed careers but still held onto their dreams of being actors, and who had undergone professional acting training, all submitted their resumes to Linyi Film and Television!

For a time, Su Yang's workload skyrocketed.

But he didn't feel bad at all; on the contrary, he was happy and in a good mood every day!

Whenever he encountered a Proficient-level talent, he couldn't help but want to hire them.

Once he hired them, he felt a sense of satisfaction!

Whenever he encountered a young person with three-star talent, he would be very happy.

It felt like the coffee was sweet!

It was just like playing a gacha game; there really was something new to look forward to every day.

Of course, he could only secretly enjoy it in his heart!

By mid-March, Su Yang had basically gone through all the interviewees.

In the end, he really did find quite a few talents!

For example, Wang Xin, who possessed three-star screenwriting talent and was currently at a Skilled-level screenwriting standard!

The movie script he submitted to Linyi Film and Television could bring the company a decent profit.

For example, Lin Bo, who possessed three-star acting talent, was formally trained, and currently worked as a food delivery driver while moonlighting as an extra.

For example, Jiang Zhuangzhi, who possessed four-star photography talent and, because he couldn't find a job, went to Comic-cons to photograph cosplayers.

For example, Cai Zilong, who possessed four-star directing talent and was currently filming commercials at the Advertising Company.

...Su Yang could say with certainty that China was truly not lacking in talent!

After all, even a place as small as Hong Kong was able to produce critically acclaimed and commercially successful films back in the day.

How could there be no talent among 1.4 billion people in the mainland?
