Before going to the job fair, Jiang Baige was a little hesitant, not knowing whether she should wear a full suit, or at least have a pair of mid-heeled black leather shoes to appear more formal.

But deep down she was unwilling to do so, because not only would it cost more money, but it would also most likely be used once, just like in her previous life: after she found a job, she never wore it again, but she didn't dare throw it away when she moved, for fear that she might need it someday.

In the end, it was of no use until I died.

"We are just interns, why should we be so serious? Besides, we are not going to film a movie, we are just doing odd jobs. Wouldn't it affect our work if we dress so well?"

Tao Mindai took out her usual T-shirt and jeans from her closet. The T-shirt was even the one with the department logo printed on it. "Why don't you wear this one too? Once we go there, people will know we're being 'sold' as a package."

Jiang Baige believed her "nonsense".

The two of them were very eye-catching not only because of the "packing" thing, but also because of the Anjing University logo - almost all HRs who talked to them would say: "Anjing University... they are students from a prestigious university."

Then after seeing that they were graduate students on their resumes, there was something strange in their eyes.

No, it's not envy, they have seen that kind of look too many times.

It is more "evil" than that, as if asking: "Do students from prestigious universities also want to work as migrant workers in the film and television industry?"

Jiang Baige wanted to ask back, regardless of her status: "What do you think Anhui University graduates should do? Just lying at home, they can make a difference, change the country's future, and easily earn a million a month? But aren't jobs that can earn a million a day in your circle?"

As a former Anhui University graduate whose family starved to death, it was really hard for her not to hate the rich when facing these people.

She was not alone, because a few years later, "208 million" became the code name for practitioners in this industry.

But Jiang Baige didn't expect that, in addition to the people who interviewed her, there were also people who chatted with her while waiting, who thought that graduates from prestigious universities should not be here.

Unlike the energetic Tao Mindai, she stayed up late last night to write a manuscript in order to free up a day for today. After staying here for a few hours and going out to eat a box lunch, she seemed to have suddenly lost her strength and didn't want to squeeze in with the crowd anymore.

Tao Mindai went in to continue the talk, leaving Jiang Baige, who looked a little weak, to get some fresh air outside.

There were many people like Jiang Baige who were taking a walk outside. Some people saw the LOGO on her clothes and couldn't help but come over to chat with her.

"Why do you, a graduate student from Anhui University, come here to find an internship?" The other party looked astonished. "Even if you really want to do this job, it's useless to write about doing odd jobs with the crew on your resume..."

Jiang Baige found the first sentence annoying, but the second sentence was obviously something that only someone who knew something could say.

After asking around, Jiang Baige found out that the other party was a small agent who brought a not-so-famous little star. He came here to find a better job, but after looking around, he found that there were no positions recruiting artist agents. Even if there were, he wanted to find a big agent with extensive connections.

"I'm actually a novelist, so I want to go to the crew to have a look. If I can't continue writing novels, I can switch to being a screenwriter."

Jiang Baige said half-truthfully.

"Be a screenwriter? That's okay with the group, but I'm afraid they won't give you a credit... But you're still young, in your twenties, and you'll get to know some people after working in the group for a few years. If you're noticed by a studio, it won't be difficult to find a stable job... As for the income, if you want to make a lot of money, you'll have to rely on luck."

The consensus in the domestic film and television industry: screenwriters are at the bottom of the social ladder…

Not to mention the scarcity of big screenwriters, whether they can have a say is another matter. Even if the original author has the copyright bought, how much say they can have in their work depends on the mood of the producer.

The best attitude is to treat it as going to work. After all, going to work means getting paid and selling your labor to survive. You won't starve to death, but you won't get rich either.

However, in other companies, this sense of disparity between the rich and the poor and the sense of class are not so strong. But in the film and television industry... the young agent across from me sighed: "If it were really that easy, I wouldn't want to change jobs."

Jiang Baige stood up and patted the dust off her butt: "Then I'm stuck, sister."

She didn't know how to comfort him, so she just kept silent. After today, they might never see each other again.

On the other side, Tao Mindai was looking for her. They met at the door, and Tao Mindai was taking out her cell phone to call her.

"Just looking for you."

"What's wrong?" Jiang Baige saw Tao Mindai sweating profusely and wanted to take a tissue from her bag to give it to her, but was grabbed.

"I'm fine. I just met a crew that's urgently hiring. They said that they're going to start filming this summer and they're anxious to find someone to help... They're asking me for my resume." Tao Mindai explained while pulling Jiang Baige to squeeze through the crowd.

"What's the name of the company?"

"New Town Films, you must have heard of it."

Jiang Baige had heard of it before, because the two dramas produced by this company were recently aired, which was considered a little popular. But the company was not big, and it was probably outsourced to others to recruit people, otherwise they would not be interested in interns.

But at least it's a start.

The recruiter was a woman in her early 40s, with golden brown curls tied into a ponytail at the back of her head. New white hair could be seen growing at the roots of her hair. She spoke very quickly and asked them to call her Sister Zou.

After taking a quick look at their resumes, I confirmed with them whether they had time, explained the rule that travel expenses were not included but food and lodging were, and told them to go back and wait for news.

"The results will be out in three to five days."

The whole process started suddenly and ended quickly. Until the two returned to school, Jiang Baige was still worried that the other party might be a liar.

"Don't they say that only those who pay first are scammers?" Tao Mindai wasn't particularly worried. "Besides, you see, they've already given us the title of the drama, and there's also a company... There are two of us, so it shouldn't be a big problem."

Qin Shi and Xin Zhiping happened to be in the dormitory as well, and they found it very interesting to hear them discussing this matter.

"What do they want you to do?"

"It's called a production assistant, but it's actually just a handyman." Tao Mindai knew more about the crew than Jiang Baige thought. "In fact, when I went to the film and television city for a trip last year, I was quite interested in this matter. So I looked it up."

"My intention is to be the literary editor..." Seeing Qin Shi and Xin Zhiping looking confused, Jiang Baige added, "It means to follow the crew and change the lines of the script... The director, screenwriter and actors must all be satisfied."

After all, Jiang Baige had dated Shi Xin for some time before, so she knew these simple tasks.

But she didn't know whether she could do it or what it would be like to get in.

However, she still sent Han Li the general information of the crew and Sister Zou's information as agreed with Han Li before.
