No, no interview?

For such an important variety show designer, even if the boss doesn’t need to interview him personally, he should at least go to the Human Resources Department to confirm his abilities, right?

Qin Xin was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously felt that this was Mr. Yang testing him, so he quickly said: "Mr. Yang, she is waiting downstairs now, you can have someone interview her, it won't waste much time."

"No, this is great." Yang Ruoqian was afraid that such a talent would run away. "Call her up now, sign the contract first, and then ask her to come to the office as well."

Watching others get scared or having fun is certainly fun, but once this fun happens to you, it’s a completely different story.

Those fanatical fans who watched their stars being mercilessly frightened by the program organizers must have a different mentality than the pure bystanders who were just watching for fun...

Yang Ruoqian wanted to carry out this torture to the end, letting the "heartache" outweigh the "fun".

"Ah...Okay!" Qin Xin didn't expect that President Yang would value the woman who bankrupted him so much. He hurriedly walked out of the office, took out his mobile phone and called his friend.

The number had just been dialed, and before the busy tone could even be heard, the other party pressed the connect button.

"Hey?! So, did you get fired for recommending me?"

"Mai Xiurong, that's enough..." Qin Xin looked at the people passing by and lowered his voice, "You can come up and sign the contract. Be more restrained."

The woman who had been chattering non-stop for even a second suddenly fell silent.

"...Wait, what did you say?"

"The boss has agreed to let you join the company. Hurry up and sign the contract. You won't be accepted after the expiration date."

"Brother, I was a little rude before, please take care of me in the future. Can you really bring people into Kuiguang Group?! Or sign a contract directly without an interview?! I thought you were joking before..."

Mai Xiurong's surprise was definitely not fake.

Originally, the best outcome she could have imagined was to get an interview opportunity through an internal referral, and after passing multiple tests, she was finally hired by Kuiguang Group as a grassroots employee.

The medium result is to join the variety show team as a "temporary worker" through one's own ability and Qin Xin's recommendation, after passing the basic test.

After getting on board, I will try to sign a formal contract with Kuiguang Group through my own performance.

The worst outcome is to be flatly rejected.

Mai Xiurong thought for a moment and asked cautiously, "Should we come upstairs to sign a contract with your program team, or go to the group's human resources department to sign a contract with the company?"

"I'm a lone commander now, how can there be any production team?" Qin Xin complained about his position, "Just sign a contract with the company directly. Hurry up, the boss will interview you after signing the contract."

"An interview after signing the contract? Or an interview by the boss himself? I won't be the one who gets terminated at lightning speed right after signing the contract..."

Qin Xin was too lazy to talk nonsense: "No one in Kuiguang Group has ever been fired. They are more ruthless than civil servants. Hurry up and hang up."

After hanging up the phone, Qin Xin himself also breathed a sigh of relief.

Although working at Nengkui Guang Group makes people happy, there are strangers around me, and the program team I will lead in the future are also strangers, so there is still a sense of unfamiliarity.

Although he is the chief planner, the people under him are all big names in various fields, with outstanding abilities and extensive personal connections...

It would be difficult to coordinate if there were no familiar people to form a team.

It really makes things easier if you have someone you know who is capable to lend a hand.

…

More than ten minutes later, Mai Xiurong signed the contract and, contrary to her usual behavior, she gave Qin Xin a look for help before entering the president's office.

Something that was mostly a joke and a matter of luck suddenly presented the best result. It would be difficult for anyone to adapt to it for a while! Qin Xin took two steps back: "Don't look for me, just wish you the best."

"How disloyal." Mai Xiurong sighed, and finally walked into Yang Ruoqian's office alone.

"Good morning, Mr. Yang!"

Yang Ruoqian was watching various escape room and haunted house videos on his computer, and he asked Mai Xiurong to sit down. "I heard from Qin Xin that you are a top expert in designing escape rooms in China. Is that true?"

Mai Xiurong cursed inwardly, and forced a smile on her face: "Too exaggerated, too exaggerated, I just have a little experience..."

"That's right." Yang Ruoqian turned a deaf ear to him. "What our variety show lacks most right now is talent like you... I just happen to have a few professional questions for you. Can you help me with them?"

Here we come!

The entrance exam is coming! Mai Xiurong pretended to be relaxed: "Boss Yang, if you ask, I will tell you everything I know."

"How should secret rooms and haunted houses be designed to be the scariest?" Yang Ruoqian asked casually.

It was a rather general question. Fortunately, it was okay... Mai Xiurong, who had experience in this area, breathed a sigh of relief: "Boss Yang, your question is a bit general. Let me ask first, what kind of horror do you want? Chinese or Western?"

Yang Ruoqian thought for a moment and gave his answer: "Chinese horror, I guess. You have to understand scary things in order to scare people."

For people who don't understand Western culture, apart from the uncanny valley effect which is a bit scary, the horror level of other things will be at least one level lower.

Mai Xiurong thought for a moment and asked tentatively, "Boss Yang, how about I introduce them to you and you can make a decision after understanding them?"

"Okay, tell me more details." Yang Ruoqian had never played this kind of project before. Most of his experience was from watching videos on the cloud, so he really lacked experience.

Mai Xiurong nodded and introduced: "Chinese horror is more about emotional oppression, with a feeling of 'the more you think about it, the more terrifying it is'. It takes various rituals, atmospheres, and environments as objects, creates psychological hints, self-fulfilling prophecies, or induces anxiety through rituals, and combines it with a little actual fright to complete the creation of horror."

"In general, it can be understood as scaring yourself."

"Western horror often creates fear through direct shock, and also combines some religion or Western fairy tales. Western horror is mostly about 'physical attacks', and there are psychological attacks, but they account for a smaller proportion... For example, it is like discovering that your relatives have been the bad guys all along."

"In general, the visual impact is the majority..."

"To give an inappropriate example, if I were unprepared, even if my grandma suddenly jumped out and screamed at the corner of a corridor, I would probably be scared."

Yang Ruoqian watched the video and listened to Mai Xiurong's explanation, and he understood a little: "You mean, combine the two?"

"Yes, let's combine the two." Mai Xiurong straightened her back happily, "We should not only create psychological hints, but also visual impact! If we work together, the effect will be doubled."

"If possible, it would be best to add a chase scene. This thing is scary, and if you get caught you will be eliminated or lose a life... It's very interesting!"

Psychological suggestion, visual impact, and chasing games... What's even more terrifying is that there will be punishment if you are caught, and no reward if you escape.

This is pure negative feedback!

It would be strange if your escape room didn’t go bankrupt...customers come here just to experience the atmosphere, they don’t really want to be tortured!

Just think about how those die-hard fans would boycott this variety show when they see their own stars being tortured in such an environment. What a huge wave it would create online?

Yang Ruoqian was a little excited.

Sure enough, this person is the talent he wants! "Not bad, not bad, very professional." Yang Ruoqian was also interested at this time, "By the way, there is one more thing, because we are going to make a variety show, so the plot script cannot be used from outside, only you can write it, and you must make sure that the script and the secret room are perfectly matched, can you do it?"

Mai Xiurong was stunned for a moment: "Can I design it?"

She had learned before that Kuiguang Group was going to invest a lot of resources in this variety show. They were going to design a three-story three-dimensional secret room, and they also needed a suitable script to match it...

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

This is a very challenging task, but also very attractive to people in the industry! How many times can a person encounter such a project in his lifetime?

Even if Mai Xiurong is fired from the group in the future, she will still be respected by everyone as an absolute senior in this circle! Have you seen the secret room of the first super-large variety show of Kuiguang Group? I designed it! Have you played the script? I wrote it too!

Not only will it make you look proud when you say it out loud, but you can also remove all the other nonsense when you write your personal profile in the future.

Just this one thing can crush other peers by a whole street! Mai Xiurong seems to know a little bit why so many people are scrambling to get into Kuiguang Group, and those who have entered Kuiguang Group never want to leave...

Not only money and benefits, but also opportunities! Hardworking people can get the due compensation here, and people with dreams and ambitions can also get a chance to try!

"Of course." Yang Ruoqian was very confident in this woman who had bankrupted him. "You can finalize the specific details yourself. My only requirement is that you make the secret room as scary as possible. Is that a problem?"

"No problem at all, this is my strong point! Thank you for your trust, Mr. Yang, thank you so much!"

Yang Ruoqian wrote down several ideas he saw on the computer, and then asked, "Tell me about the details. Do you have any ideas to increase the sense of horror by some small arrangements?"

"Yes!" Although Mai Xiurong had to leave the escape room industry due to debt problems and find a way to work to pay off her debts, as long as these professional topics are mentioned, her mind will burst with endless inspiration, "Boss Yang, I suggest adding a final prize to this variety show, a prize that the contestants can't refuse!"

“This will increase competitiveness and prevent guests from colluding with each other.”

"We can also set up a micro-economic system in the secret room, where we can exchange items that can relieve physical strength, such as mineral water, food, energy drinks, etc. This will strengthen the subjective initiative of the guests and force them to leave the safe zone and fall into our trap..."

"besides……"

What a loss...

Also a micro-economic system...

However, the reward mechanism of this variety show is not bad. Yang Ruoqian can take out part of the resources under the Kuiguang Group as prizes to reward the guests.

In addition, if you don’t work hard, you will be thirsty, if you don’t work hard, you will be hungry, and there is uncertainty about winning or losing in the secret room, so everyone should work hard.

Otherwise, if you just set the trap, no one will fall into it, the fans won't feel bad for them, and no one will scold them.

Moreover, it can legitimately send out part of the group's resources to alleviate the group's profit pressure, which is simply killing two birds with one stone.

Sure, the person recommended by Qin Xin is very capable!

Yang Ruoqian nodded as he listened, and only interrupted after the woman finished speaking: "Do you think we should add an identity system for the guests? We can divide the guests into different camps before starting the variety show. We can win over a few traitors and have them help us scare the entire guest team!"

"For example, we can bribe a guest to join a five-person team, and let him stay at the end of the team during the exploration. When the exploration is halfway through, he can take the key props and secretly leave the team and play the missing game..."

"We hinted to this team that their teammates had been captured, and then suddenly a monster appeared behind them..."

“What do you think of this idea?”

Mai Xiurong was silent for a moment, then looked at Yang Ruoqian with a look of genius: "Boss Yang... have you ever played offline games like escape room before?"

Yang Ruoqian shook his head: "No? What's wrong?"

"That's amazing! That's it. If we add this element to the secret room, the effect will be outstanding!" Mai Xiurong seemed to have forgotten that she was talking to the top leader of Kuiguang Group. "Boss Yang, you are a genius!"

Mr. Yang, who was able to develop his creativity to infinity just to lose money, gladly accepted the compliment: "Anything else you want to add?"

"That's about it. The details will have to wait until I finish thinking it through." Mai Xiurong seemed to be eager to get down to work. "Do you have anything else to add?"

Yang Ruoqian thought for a moment and asked, "Do you think we need to set up an emergency room just in case?"

Playing around is playing around, losing money is losing money, but Yang Ruoqian still doesn't want to make money based on hurting others.

Before inviting guests, Yang Ruoqian would definitely emphasize the difficulty of the variety show, but some people might be jealous of the resources and rewards of the Kuiguang Group and force themselves to participate.

If someone really couldn't stand the terror and had a heart attack or something, there should be some safeguards.

Besides...the company is getting bigger and bigger, with more and more people coming to work. If an accident happens, it will be too late to wait for the ambulance to arrive.

The company has a medical clinic, but it is the same size as a school clinic, so it’s better than nothing.

Taking advantage of this variety show, it might be a good idea to build a rescue center with more complete facilities...

Mai Xiurong thought for a moment and said, "Boss Yang... well, if you think it's necessary, it's not impossible..."

"Okay, that's settled. You and Qin Xin will be responsible for the overall design and planning!"

Next, it’s time to carefully select some victims and send them invitations... (End of this chapter)
