Chapter 100 Interview Magazine Interview is here!
"Xiao Xuan, do you know what day it is today?" As soon as Ye Xuan arrived at the company, he saw Sister Lin asking mysteriously.
"I only remember that the salary was paid a few days ago, but I don't know today." He threw the question back very sincerely, "So can you please enlighten me?"
Sister Lin blinked: "Of course it is - the big day for the interview with "Youwan·Wanyou"!"
Ye Xuan was in no mood to cheer because he had almost forgotten about this important event.
After completing the third NPC's mission, he encountered two great events: a promotion and a pay raise. He had a hard time remembering who he was and what he was supposed to do.
"Why, you didn't forget such an important thing, did you?" Sister Lin quickly realized that something was wrong. "Please, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for our company! Xiaoxuan, you must cherish it and fight for our company!"
"Yes, yes, yes," he had heard the magazine say this countless times since he received the invitation, "I will definitely bring honor to You Meng."
Does this mean that he is carrying the hopes of the entire village?
After being personally sent by Sister Lin to the magazine office where "Youwan·Wanyou" was published, Ye Xuan and his boss showed the same inexperienced expressions.
"It's really worthy of being a top-notch gaming magazine!" Sister Lin looked at the various gaming peripherals that could be seen everywhere, many of which were limited edition collectibles that were not sold on the market. "It's amazing! I really hope that one day I can have such an office environment."
No, no, no, this is definitely not for work.
Ye Xuan looked at Sister Lin, whose eyes were rarely filled with stars, and swallowed his complaints.
Everyone has different preferences, and he cannot judge other people's hobbies at will.
What's more, that person is his direct superior. He must be very upset to complain to his face without caring about the consequences.
"By the way, the hairstyle I designed for you last time... why aren't you wearing the hairpin again?" She looked at the other person's bangs that were simply fixed, feeling helpless.
Ye Xuan quickly took out the Mars hairpin from her bag and said, "I have it with me. I was just afraid that I would lose it on the way here. If I can't use it in the interview photos, wouldn't that be a waste of your kindness, Sister Lin?"
Actually, I don’t really want to wear it.
But you definitely can’t say it directly.
Sister Lin snorted and put on an expression that said, "You're smart."
Ye Xing wiped the non-existent cold sweat from his forehead, thinking that he had escaped a disaster.
"By the way, you mentioned photos..." Sister Lin frowned slightly, "Didn't I tell you? This interview is a live video interview. You have to be on camera the whole time. It's not just a photo."
Ye Xuan opened his mouth in surprise, then looked down at the pile of notes that the other party had sent him earlier.
He certainly didn't look closely at the time... but who could have thought it would be so different from what he imagined, isn't this a magazine?
Why do today's print media record legitimate interviews and release them as videos?
Sister Lin seemed to have read the other person's mind: "No way, this is how it is in the new media era. For the sake of readership, even a god-level magazine cannot lag behind the trend of the times."
Besides, since it is the top magazine in the gaming field, it is normal for it to have wider distribution channels.
“Alright, alright.” Ye Xuan nodded and accepted it. After all, it was just an interview, not a spoof variety show. There shouldn’t be any problem.
Probably, no...
Ye Xuan looked at the "strange-looking" people in the public dressing room and felt like Tang Monk who had accidentally entered the lair of demons.
So, has Halloween arrived early?
"What is this?" He didn't want to expose his "ignorance" and chose to ask Sister Lin quietly.
"It's similar to your job," the other person whispered back, "They are also playing the roles in the game. The difference is that you play online, and they play offline."
No, that's too far off.
Anyway, at first glance they don't look like the same species.
"What game?" Ye Xing asked persistently, "Is it adapted from the Classic of Mountains and Seas?"
"Stop talking." Seeing the makeup artist walking towards them, Sister Lin bent her index finger and tapped Ye Xuan's head, signaling him to shut up.
Are you kidding? This is someone else's territory. What if he takes advantage of the situation and "improvises" when putting makeup on him?
Although she didn't want to think about the magazine she had longed for in this way, after all, it was her who brought it about, and she had to be responsible for it.
"Please help him pin this hairpin on his bangs." Sister Lin asked Ye Xuan to hand the Mars hairpin to the makeup artist.
"Oh, it's quite cute." The makeup artist took the hairpin and looked at it carefully. "No problem, it suits this boy very well. You have good taste."
Even though it was clear that it was just a polite remark, Sister Lin still blushed with excitement.
This is the makeup artist of "Youwan·Wanyou"! It is the "Youwan·Wanyou" that she dreams of appearing on!
Sister Lin looked at Ye Xuan with a loving gaze.
I inexplicably had a feeling that I was an agent who had finally cultivated a young star who had just become popular.
Ye Xuan, who was having her eyes closed and having foundation applied by the makeup artist, shuddered, as if something was wrong.
Never mind. I guess I was just too nervous.
The last time I wore makeup like this was when I took my college graduation photos.
At that time, the class monitor said that this might be the last time for most students to take graduation photos, so they must take it seriously.
So the whole class hired a photographer at their own expense to take individual photos of the teachers and classmates in the class. Many people also took photos alone or with friends.
How serious is the importance? The monitor requires everyone to wear the same makeup, not to go bare-faced, and not to wear makeup that is too personalized.
It sounds like a lot of things to do, but we have all received a lot of care from the class monitor over the past four years, so we are all willing to follow the arrangements.
Apart from today, that was the most recent makeup experience I had.
When I think about it, I still miss it very much.
While reminiscing about the past, the makeup artist successfully completed a makeup that was not too exaggerated and was very suitable for being on camera.
"Done." The makeup artist put the last hairpin in place and looked at the result of her labor with great satisfaction. "Take a look. How is it?"
"Very good!" Sister Lin expressed her opinion first, "The position of this hairpin is more suitable than I expected. It really needs professionals to do it."
It was worth it that she specially asked someone to design this cartoon Martian hairpin, it came in very useful.
"Thank you." The makeup artist smiled faintly, responded to Sister Lin, and then turned to ask Ye Xuan, "What do you think? If you don't like it, it's not too late to change it now."
The word "like" expresses that even if the other party expresses disapproval, it is only a deviation in personal aesthetics, not a major fault of the makeup itself.
As a makeup artist with some fame, I will not put myself in a low position.
Ye Xuan looked in the mirror left and right, and when Sister Lin was about to answer for him, he said, "Okay, no need to change it."
He didn't say whether he liked it or not, because he knew nothing about makeup and had no preference.
Not long after putting on makeup, the interview officially began.
Ye Xuan looked at the machines running around him with some curiosity.
Although he occasionally broadcasts live, the equipment he uses is different from the one here, which makes it very fresh.
"In addition to looking at the camera, you can also look at me." The host is a young girl named "Youyou", who was temporarily selected from the reporters and is not a professional.
She held up the script confidently, as if to show the audience that the questions were not made up on the spot, but were well prepared.
"Relax, we are not an entertainment magazine. We only ask serious questions." She said seriously.
Ye Xuan noticed that the host was as nervous as he was, so he calmed down a little, nodded, and asked the other party to start asking questions.
"What opportunity brought you into contact with this emerging profession?" Seeing the other party's hesitation, the host timely followed up with a sentence, "Is it because of interest?"
As she expected, the interviewee shook his head.
Well, if you can become the best in the industry just by a simple word "interest", that would be too infuriating.
Ye Xuan recalled it carefully, and when You You thought he would tell a touching and inspirational story, he unexpectedly said, "I just happened to come across it when I was looking for a job. There is no special reason."
There were only seventeen words, but each one was like a silver needle pierced by the Chinese medicine practitioner he once played, piercing into Youyou's heart.
This interviewee...is not easy to deal with.
She realized that this might be a "challenge" in her career.
This real-life NPC is now extremely popular on the Internet and has sparked a lot of discussion. It has also increased the public's expectations for the use of real-life NPCs in holographic games - in short, it is an important figure that cannot be underestimated.
"Well, that must be due to the love for the game." She winked at her colleague, telling him not to preserve her momentary distraction during the post-production editing.
So, why should they let their magazine expand the video interview business? She did not become a TV reporter and focused on print media in order to avoid exposing her shortcoming of being easily distracted. The development of new media has greatly changed her job.
"Actually..." Ye Xuan put on an embarrassed smile, "I have never really played games outside of work."
The host obviously didn't expect such an answer. Isn't the company Youmeng focusing on the so-called "passion"?
Or is it just propaganda and cannot be trusted?
"I have never really 'played' the game," he continued, "but in the process of being a real NPC, I understand why the game is loved by so many people."
Youyou did not interrupt him or ask any further questions. She just looked at him quietly and encouraged him to continue.
Ye Xuan cleared his throat and said to the camera: "I want to make a good game, and maybe in the future it will not just be 'a' game.
“I want to do my best to create a virtual world that is more real and beautiful than simple program control for more players, and bring everyone a pleasant, unforgettable and regret-free gaming experience.
“I guess this can also be called ‘passion’.
"It's just that I am behind the scenes, and you, the countless players, are the protagonists of the game."
