Chapter 2 What to Talk About
Yang Hui found the term "tomb friend" very interesting. At this time, Li Chuanping had already opened her phone and handed over a photo of him and Xu Rui: "Sister Yang, it's him. His image is absolutely acceptable."
Yang Hui took a closer look and found that the photo was very clear and had not been retouched. The young man standing next to Li Chuanping had a sharp face, sword-like eyebrows, a pair of bright black eyes, and a very tough temperament due to his short hair. He was very attractive, but the expression of disgust on his face did not look very sunny.
However, it is quite common for good friends to pretend to dislike each other. Yang Hui has long been familiar with the people on the list in her hand. Judging from the appearance alone, Xu Rui is very much to her liking.
With this premise, she continued to ask: "What is your friend's personality like? This is a reality show. You should know that this show requires amateur guests to get into the state as soon as possible, and they have to face the camera all day. It is best to have some acting talent. You should understand that not everyone can adapt."
"Don't worry, Sister Yang, my brother is loved by everyone, and he is definitely not afraid of the camera." Li Chuanping almost patted his chest to guarantee that this boy is a variety show genius picked from thousands of miles away, and you will definitely regret not choosing him.
Yang Hui smiled, and she just listened casually, but she naturally didn't believe it completely. She held the information sheet and pondered for a moment, then asked: "I see it says unemployed here, he still doesn't have a job?"
"Not unemployed." Li Chuanping hurriedly explained. Xu Rui usually didn't shy away from this matter, so he thought for a while and felt that he could mention it briefly, "The family arranged a job for him, but he didn't go for it for the time being, and he has other pursuits."
In other words, he still didn't have a job, but Li Chuanping's short sentence revealed a lot of information. First, Xu Rui's family was very well-off and he could get a job at any time. In addition, "temporarily" and "other pursuits" also meant that he refused the family's arrangement and was not idle.
This situation is not uncommon in today's society. Yang Hui understands it very well. Her daughter also has the plot of being unrestrained and wanting to fly freely.
"Okay, he passed the preliminary screening, and I will arrange for him to come for an interview after a phone call." Yang Hui put down the information sheet and said to Li Chuanping.
The reason why she decided so quickly was that she was very optimistic about Xu Rui's image in the photo, and secondly, he was recommended by an internal person, so she would not even give him an interview opportunity. As for Li Chuanping's exaggeration, it was not as good as hearing it, but seeing it was believing.
"I will definitely not let you down!" Li Chuanping said, and left the office happily.
…
Xu Rui took a nap and forgot what happened in the morning. He was also thinking about what to do recently, researching science and technology to benefit mankind. With his brain, he could be described in two words - no hope!
He really wanted to make a column similar to the one in his previous life called "Rumor Terminator", but he lacked a professional team, and ordinary people could not do it. He could only open a live broadcast room to make a low-profile version.
While thinking, the phone rang again. It was an unfamiliar number. Xu Rui took a look and saw that there were no marks such as "fraud" or "sales promotion" on it, and it was not an overseas number. Then he answered: "Hello, hello."
The voice on the phone was very nice: "Hello, is this Mr. Xu Rui?"
"It's me."
"Hello, this is the "Fall in Love at First Sight" column team. Your friend Li Chuanping recommended you for an interview. Are you available at 2 o'clock tomorrow afternoon?"
Xu Rui had already put "no need" and "I have never owed money" in his throat. He came back to his senses when he heard Li Chuanping's name. He actually called him, and so quickly?
"Yes." Xu Rui did not refuse.
"Then I will send the address to your mobile phone later. You can go to the company and tell the front desk tomorrow afternoon."
"No problem."
"Okay, I won't bother you anymore."
Not long after the brief conversation, Xu Rui received a text message. He knew the address, after all, Li Chuanping worked there.
Then came Li Chuanping's WeChat message: "How is it?"
Xu Rui replied: "I was afraid that if I refused, you, a dog, would not be able to hold your head up in the company, so I agreed."
"That's nice." Li Chuanping didn't even care about the name "dog".
"Your company is quite efficient. You called me so quickly?"
"The shooting location is ready, and the celebrity guests are basically agreed. The only thing left is the amateurs. Of course, it's efficient. Someone just came for an interview."
After agreeing, Xu Rui naturally wouldn't mess things up on purpose, and asked: "Do you need to make any preparations?"
"Wait until I come to you in the evening and tell you in detail. With my guidance, you will be invincible."
From the text, you can feel Li Chuanping's excitement at the moment. Xu Rui only replied him one word: "Get lost!"
...
The next afternoon, Xu Rui arrived downstairs of Shenghua Film and Television's company fifteen minutes early, checked his appearance in front of the polished floor-to-ceiling glass, and then walked into the lobby.
The lady at the front desk learned his purpose and confirmed his identity, then directed him to a reception room upstairs where several people were talking.
Xu Rui knocked on the door, and the voices stopped abruptly. After hearing "Come in", he pushed the door open and found that there was not a row of people sitting behind a table, but many cameras, arranged like a recording site.
A woman wearing glasses, professional attire, with a plump figure and capable temperament took the initiative to walk towards him with a smile: "Hello, I am the producer of the program group of "Falling in Love at First Sight". My name is Yang Hui, you can just call me Sister Yang, sit anywhere."
"Hello Sister Yang, I am Xu Rui." Xu Rui found a chair and sat down, curiously asked, "Is the interview just chatting?"
Yang Hui smiled and said, "Almost. It may be necessary to put on makeup for an audition depending on the situation."
Xu Rui smiled and said, "From what Sister Yang said, I don't think I need this step."
Yang Hui looked at Xu Rui and found that he sat upright but not stiff in front of her and the cameras and staff around him. He would look at her when he spoke and would not avoid eye contact. Except for looking around when he entered the door, he did not move his head left and right after sitting down. Looking around, he looked very well-mannered, and his behavior won her favor: "You can try it if you want."
Xu Rui declined: "No, I won't add more work to the makeup teacher. Let's continue the conversation?"
Yang Hui nodded: "Okay, Li Chuanping should have introduced this variety show to you. What do you think of this variety show?"
Xu Rui was surprised: "So you want to talk about this?"
Seeing his surprise, Yang Hui was a little amused: "What did you think you would talk about?"
Xu Rui said: "I thought you were going to talk about love experience, family background, etc."
"If you are willing to talk, we can talk about these, or talk about something you want to talk about." Yang Hui is very easy-going. The content of the conversation is secondary. The main purpose is to test Xu Rui's performance in communicating with people in front of the camera. So far, she is very satisfied.
Xu Rui thought for a while: "I want to talk about... How about we talk about the situation in NATO?"
This sudden topic made Yang Hui stunned for a moment, and a brother who was filming behind him couldn't even hold it in and laughed softly.
