Start with the script killing shop

In the small theater of the amusement park, the rehearsal of a mini-drama was quietly going on.

The curtain opened, and the big lights shone in the center of the stage. Several toys were particularly eye-catching under the intersection of spotlights.

"Your Highness, I cannot be with you. You are the noble princess of the Violet Kingdom, and I am just a failed cavalryman who has not even found his own horse. The one who is worthy of you should be the prince of a neighboring country, noble Your Highness the Duke, the elegant Earl, no matter who he is, he should not be an ordinary cavalryman like me." The cavalryman lowered his head sadly, and his face that could have made a lot of facial expressions now only needs to be calm and numb. Compared with its facial expressions, its body movements are richer and more exaggerated, but they are a bit too exaggerated, almost like a puppet being lifted up by strings.

"No, that's not the case." The princess took a step forward and said excitedly.

"Cough." There was an untimely cough from the audience, and a playwright toy holding a quill in his hand, holding a parchment book, wearing round glasses and a beautiful hat with a white feather on the hat coughed lightly. .

The princess immediately put away her rich facial expressions, and like the cavalry, she only moved her hands and feet but kept her face, and said affectionately: "You are a heroic cavalry. You have defeated the most ferocious beasts. It is you who have maintained the stability of the kingdom! In my presence It seems that you are as noble as those so-called noble princes, dukes and earls!"

The next second, the lights went out and the curtain was closed. Although they could not see it, the audience could hear the chaos behind the curtain.

"Where's Lala? Where's Lala?"

"Xuexue is in place!"

“Where is the sheep, who pushes the sheep over here!”

"Hurry and bury the mushrooms in the soil!"

About two minutes later, the curtain opened again.

There were many more toys on the field.

The farmer is growing mushrooms, the sheep are sleeping on the ground, and the rest of the plush toys in various animal shapes are rolling together to make a playful appearance. It is a happy and joyful time.

Suddenly, Lala appeared.

Lala's fur, which she had just gone to the pet store for a spa treatment last week, was very fluffy. The price was that the whole dog looked a little bigger. Compared with these pocket-sized toys and smaller stages, the 150-pound Lala is undoubtedly a super monster.

"Ouch!" Lala raised her head and let out a wolf howl.

Jiang Qi in the audience:?

"No, the giant beast is coming!" The toys that were playing around rolled away in panic, and even the mushrooms tried their best to burrow into the soil.

I saw Lala swiping her tail and the paper fence fell down.

"No, my fence!" the farmer cried heartbrokenly.

Lala clapped her paws, and the house made of paper collapsed.

"No, my house!" the farmer howled heart-piercingly.

Lala sat down, and the paper mill shrank.

"Damn beast, I'm going to fight you!" The farmer grabbed his hoe and rushed forward to fight with Lala.

Lala didn't even give him an extra glance. She yawned and lay down, then swept the farmer away with a sweep of her tail.

Not to mention, Lala is pretty good at playing a villain.

Then the headlights hit directly, and the protagonist cavalry appeared on stage.

The cavalryman drew his sword and rushed forward to fight Lara to the death. After a fake fight, Lala was defeated and ran away. Just when everyone thought the scene was about to end, Lala howled again and returned for a limited time, bringing back her good brothers Xue Xue and Liao Lian.

Then the cavalry began a heroic 1 vs. 3 fight.

Seeing such a disparity in body shape, Jiang Qi thought for a while, then quietly lowered his head and whispered to the playwright next to him: "Isn't this play a bit outrageous?"

"If you fight one cavalryman, you can still say that he is a master of swordsmanship. Isn't it a bit exaggerated to fight three cavalrymen?"

The playwright rolled his eyes and said, "The audience loves to watch it."

After saying this, the playwright pointed to Wang Xinghua, who was watching intently in the back row: "Look, I love watching it."

Jiang Qi:......

Fine.

The drama on the stage continues.

After the flashback kill, the plot returns to the love story of the cavalry and the princess. After a lot of scenes of separation and reunion, the cavalry finally plucked up the courage and decided to pursue his true love and go away from home with the princess. The two got on a sleigh pulled by an elk and ended today's drama with cheerful BGM.

"Bah bang bang bang!" The whole theater burst into warm applause.

To say it was enthusiastic is actually a bit exaggerated, because there are not many creatures in this theater who can applaud.

Among the Toy Spirit audience in the audience, the only one who could applaud was the Flower Fairy. Among the non-toy spirits, the only ones who can applaud are Wang Xinghua, Huang Fugui, Feng Guihua, Old John, Lili and Jiang Qi. Wang Erya is still in class at Chenfeng High School in the next city and has no chance to watch today's performance.

Old John clapped more reservedly, while Lili clapped hard but couldn't make much noise. The ones who really clapped harder were Wang Xinghua, Huang Fugui and Feng Guihua. Jiang Qi clapped twice before being surrounded by other toy spirits.

"Mr. Boss, can I attend the next performance?"

"Mr. Boss, choose me, choose me, choose me!"

"Mr. Boss, I'm the best at acting. Choose me, choose me!"

"Mr. Boss, why didn't you let the princess and the cavalry ride on me in the end? I can run much faster than an elk!"

The last voice came from the aggrieved racing car.

Is racing wronged? It is extremely wronged!

Before the playwright came, the play was far less exciting and rich than it is now. It was just a love story that was simply plagiarized and borrowed from many classic love stories.

But as luck would have it, Jiang Qi pulled out the playwright.

On the second day after the princess and the others rehearsed for the first time, Jiang Qi suddenly pulled out the playwright.

Although the playwright does not actually write plays, it is at least more professional than other toys and the like. It can change the script. Apart from anything else, it has the richest vocabulary and knows idioms. This alone is better than 99% of toy spirits.

With the script writer, the playwright does not need to write the script himself. He only needs to listen to the ideas and opinions of several leading actors and write it with the script writer.

The current finished product was modified by the playwright after collecting everyone's opinions.

If the princess wants a romantic love story that breaks through the world, give it a love story.

If Cavalry wants an action blockbuster with a warrior outsmarting a dragon, give it an action blockbuster.

If the farmer wants to be a background for hoeing, let him hoe.

As for the remaining background version of the Toy Spirit, it was purely a friendly appearance for fun.

Jiang Qi had to admire the playwright just for meeting the requirements of each toy spirit.

Professional, indeed professional.

The spirits of action figures are indeed professionals.

"It's quite outrageous for the princess and the cavalry to leave in a sleigh pulled by an elk in a racing car. If they leave this show in a racing car, wouldn't they..." Jiang Qi persuaded the racing car in a good voice, "Wait until the next episode. If the writer writes a play with a modern background, then you can leave, okay?"

Racing can only say yes aggrievedly.

"Mr. Boss." The playwright pushed up his glasses, "Do you have any suggestions or requirements for today's drama?"

"No, I think it's pretty good." Jiang Qi said sincerely, "It's just that I found that if you sit too far back, you might not be able to see the stage clearly. Should the seats in this theater be moved forward?"

This theater was previously used to watch magic shows. The seats were too close to the stage, which made it easy for the magician to get in trouble and made the audience uncomfortable.

But now this theater is used for drama performances of toys. The toys are small to begin with, and if the seats are far away from the stage, it may be difficult to see clearly what is being performed on the stage if you are seated a little further back.

The playwright nodded and said he would look into this.

"Boss." Huang Fugui interrupted the conversation between Jiang Qi and the playwright, "The recruitment interview is about to begin."

Jiang Qi quickly looked at his phone and found that it was almost 2 o'clock. With almost no hesitation, Jiang Qi immediately stood up, picked up Lili who was sitting in the back row, called Wang Xinghua, and walked quickly towards the theater door.

"By the way, Teacher John and Grandma Feng, please stay here and watch this afternoon. Don't let outsiders come in and disturb the Toy Spirits' rehearsal." When Jiang Qi was about to reach the door, he stopped and turned around to warn.

Feng Guihua responded with a smile: "Don't worry, boss."

"Xinghua, become invisible." Jiang Qi opened the door.

Wang Xinghua jumped lightly, floated in the air, and followed Jiang Qi.

"Oh, it's true. It's rare for the store to have a long holiday. I didn't expect that I would have to work overtime on the first day of the holiday. Boss, you will be paid three times the salary for overtime work on legal holidays. I must be paid 1.5 times the salary for overtime work like this. I am a technical worker. "

"Lili wants twice the salary." Lili took the opportunity to raise her salary.

Jiang Qi: "...you don't have a basic salary..."

Wang Xinghua \u0026 Lili:......

"Then add a hundred yuan bonus!" Wang Xinghua said that she can stretch and bend.

"Lili wants to add 150!" Lili poked Jiang Qi.

"Okay, okay, add bonus, I'll add it when I get back." Jiang Qi nodded, "Work hard later, recruitment is a big deal, don't slack off."

"Okay boss!" they both said in unison.

.

It would be a long story if I elaborated on why the script-killing shop was doing so well and why it suddenly took a long holiday.

But at the same time, it’s not that we can’t make a long story short. To sum it up, we can just say: there are not enough people.

Every full-time employee in the script store was transferred to the amusement park by Jiang Qi.

There are really big gaps in the NPCs in the various live-action scenarios in the amusement park.

Take the abandoned theater as an example. The best script of "Red Tears" currently compiled by the script writer is for 15 people, but in fact the number of people in the crew in the script of "Red Tears" is close to 40 people.

The small real-life area in the script shop is not big enough to fit more than 20 NPCs into it, so it’s always up to whoever is free to come and join in, as long as they feel like it.

But the same cannot be said for an abandoned theater in an amusement park.

The details of the actual scene in the script shop were restored to a limited extent. With the help of Wang Xinghua, the abandoned theater in the amusement park perfectly restored the situation on the day Wang Xinghua went bankrupt. Everything from the placement of the camera to whether there is water in the teacup has been restored one by one.

This abandoned theater is truly an abandoned theater with traces of the life activities of more than 40 people in the crew, and not a single NPC is missing.

This directly led to the fact that even if Jiang Qi used all the full-time employees in the script shop, it would not be enough for one NPC in the real-life scene of "Red Tears".

In addition to "Red Tears", "God of Cooking Competition" also requires a large number of NPCs. Taiping Town without people is not a competition for the God of Cooking, but a competition for the underworld. According to the incomplete statistics of Old John and Huang Fugui, the number of NPCs required in Taiping Town is about 40-50.

Of course, the NPCs in Taiping Town are relatively easy to handle and can be worked part-time by other staff at the amusement park. After all, most of the NPCs here are just passers-by, mainly used to enhance the atmosphere.

Not to mention "Horror Doll House", as the future star haunted house of the amusement park, the NPCs in it are not expensive. After discussing with Lili, Jiang Qi selected four key full-time employees in the store. They were all excellent employees who usually opened a lot of horror books and had a tacit understanding of working with Lili for a long time, but the person involved didn't know it.

These four NPCs have important roles, namely: eating viscera, pretending to be a player, the old woman and the hanging ghost.

Among them, offal eating is a welfare position. Since you want to eat, you must eat real offal. Jiang Qi plans that the NPC responsible for eating offal will eat braised beef heart, chicken heart, duck heart, and tripe from now on.

Chengzi was very excited after hearing about this career and enthusiastically signed up, but Jiang Qi rejected it because of insufficient acting skills.

It is said that Chengzi signed up for a high-priced acting training class after being swiped, and planned to hone his acting skills during the window period in September when the script store was closed and the amusement park had not yet opened. I hope that when the next wave of actors are screened, they will not be rejected because of insufficient acting skills.

Having said this, someone must have asked, even if the full-time employees in the script store have to be transferred to better and more promising jobs due to job transfers, aren't there still part-time jobs in the store?

Theoretically, part-time jobs can maintain the normal operation of a script-killing store. Why close the store if you don’t make good money?

In this regard, Jiang Qi said that there are many part-time jobs in the store, but these part-time jobs have all started to go to college.

The few remaining people, like Liu Lan, who are studying at local universities, are simply unable to maintain normal operations in the store. Newly recruited full-time and part-time employees need time to read and adjust. During this period, it is possible to open a script store, but the quality cannot be guaranteed.

All the card characters were transferred to the amusement park, and Liu Lan took over as the manager of the script store. In fact, if it weren't for Liu Lan not graduating yet, Liu Lan would have wanted to be transferred to an amusement park.

Who can stay in a script store when you can go to work in an amusement park? When working in a script store, the most fun you can do is play with your mobile phone. When working in an amusement park, you can even go ride a Ferris wheel.

Of course, the main reason is: script stores are not very profitable anyway. September is the back-to-school season and the off-season, so business is not very good to begin with.

When the amusement park opens, "Horror Doll House" and "Red Tears" are bound to be permanently offline. The two real ghosts in the store are no longer horror books and are no longer their signatures. The script store's income is bound to drop a lot.

Jiang Qi's 16 million yuan renovation cost was spent on the amusement park, and 80% of the remaining 3 million yuan will be spent in the last month, which is not less than the script store's profit of 30,000 to 40,000 yuan this month. If we close it for a month, we will close it for a month. Anyway, the braised food shop is not closed yet.

Script shops are just for fun. To really make money, you have to look at braised food shops.

For Jiang Qi, the current script store is more like an amusement park training base for excellent NPCs.

Apart from anything else, the employees in the store who have been transferred to the amusement park to pretend to be ghosts are really professional when it comes to pretending to be ghosts, just a little bit worse than real ghosts.

Thinking about the superb acting skills displayed by the employees in the store when they competed for the role of the offal-eating NPC in the horror doll house two days ago, Jiang Qi couldn't help but sigh: "Being a ghost these days is really a technical job!"

Wang Xinghua and Lili:?

Jiang Qi came to the interview venue.

Because the amusement park requires a large number of employees, this interview was held in two venues.

Jiang Qi, Hu Qing and Huang Fugui are responsible for the interviews of technical personnel (restaurant chefs, theater lighting engineers, finance, interpretation staff, etc.). Shen Lirong, Jiang Xiaoliang and Qiao Huifang are responsible for the interviews of ordinary employees.

"Lili, do you know what to do?"

"I know." Lili raised her hand happily, "Smell the fragrance and tell Banban if it smells good!"

When the headhunters recommended Hu Qing and Shen Lirong to Jiang Qi and Jiang Xiaoliang, their original intention was to choose one of them.

The couple serves as senior executives of the same company at the same time, and the boss is inexperienced. As long as these two couples are serious, they can empty out the company in a matter of minutes.

But this only applies to ordinary situations, not to Jiang Qi.

Jiang Qi doesn't know much about business. Jiang Xiaoliang, who has rich experience in bankruptcy and starting from scratch, doesn't know much about amusement park management, but Jiang Qi can't stand Lili.

Humanoid crime detection machine, you will know if you have a criminal record by smelling it.

Hu Qing and Shen Lirong were both honest people who had been stamped and appraised by Lili, otherwise Jiang Qi would not have recruited them both.

Jiang Qi came to watch this interview, and the main ones were Wang Xinghua and Lili.

"Boss, I'm going to the next door." Wang Xinghua said, floating to the next door.

Although Wang Xinghua cannot smell whether a person has a criminal record, she can become invisible. The people next door were recruiting ordinary employees, so Wang Xinghua only needed to remain invisible and float in the air to see if anyone was having sex.

Taking a lesson from the first script store recruitment, Jiang Qi has always stayed away from the little masters.

Although he likes to eat melons, he doesn’t like to eat his own melons. It's more enjoyable to watch people bickering with people who have nothing to do with you. It's really a headache when it's your own employees' turn to bicker.

"150 yuan!" Lili cheered in a low voice.

Jiang Qi smiled and carried Lili into the interview building.
