The next day, Bai Qiquan came to the company.

Surprisingly, he was very nervous last night, afraid that some strange thing would suddenly pop up from under the bed or somewhere else and kill him, but in the end he fell asleep and didn't see anything.

On the contrary, the back pain he had suffered from sleeping on the hard bed in the dormitory seemed to be relieved a lot after sleeping in the new house for a night. He felt refreshed, as if he had just changed his body to welcome the New Year's morning.

"This mattress is pretty good. It's probably a massage mattress that can promote sleep. The pillow is probably some kind of high-tech medicinal pillow that can prevent people from being woken up easily."

I’ll ask Director Lu if I get a chance and ask him to get one for my girlfriend too.

Bai Qiquan thought so.

I still didn’t see it in the company. There wasn’t even a front desk. It was empty.

But Bai Qiquan always felt that someone had been here before. Could it be the cleaning lady?

He sat down at his workstation and pulled out his laptop.

Many people working in the film and television industry prefer to use Apple computers. It’s not that they do it to show off, but one reason is that the supporting software is well-made, and second, when it comes to video processing, Apple computers do have some unique technologies. Although they are not very good at playing games, they are quite useful for making videos.

Lu Ban did not care about the cost and directly distributed the latest one to Bai Qiquan.

He tried to install the game that night, and it ran fine, but it was really hot.

I can only say that it is possible, but not necessary.

Bai Qiquan immediately uninstalled the game completely.

After sitting in the office and waiting for a while, Bai Qiquan saw a man who was much older than him walk in.

"I'm here to join the company, are you HR?"

The man asked when he saw Bai Qiquan looked like someone who worked here.

“…Actually, I’m here to join the company as well.”

Bai Qiquan said awkwardly.

"Um?"

The man was embarrassed. He pretended to look around and pulled a chair to sit down.

After a while, another woman who looked older walked into the company's door.

"Excuse me, who should I contact for the onboarding process?"

She looked at the two people sitting opposite each other.

“We are all here to get hired.”

Bai Qiquan and the man answered immediately.

This scene was repeated several times, and Bai Qiquan found that he did not recognize many of the people present, and he had never even heard of their names.

People in their circle are not like ordinary audiences who only know positions like directors, producers, screenwriters, and post-production photographers. The famous ones are also very famous.

According to the salary offered by Lu Ban, Bai Qiquan felt that he should be able to get the job with those famous post-production photographers. It was strange that he didn't choose them.

Is there something special among these people?

Am I the hidden boss?

Bai Qiquan couldn't help but think.

It was half past nine when Lu Ban arrived on time.

He was holding a pile of documents in his hands, while Qin Tiantian next to him had nothing in his hands, as if he was just here for a trip.

"You can act as the receptionist for a while. I can play games and watch videos for you."

Lu Ban pointed to the desk at the front desk.

"Aren't I the spokesperson? How come I became the front desk?"

"Look, when people come into the company, the first person they see is you. Isn't that the image spokesperson?"

Lu Ban was serious.

"No one would believe you."

Although Qin Tiantian expressed dissatisfaction, he still sat obediently at the front desk.

"Wow, this computer has great configuration, it's a 3090. I've decided, I'm the receptionist, no one can compete with me for this position."

After settling Qin Tiantian, Lu Ban walked into the office, said a simple hello, and began to distribute contracts.

"Director Lu actually does everything himself. It seems that he values ​​us very much."

Bai Qiquan thought to himself that even the labor contract in front of him seemed much more solemn.

He looked through the contract and saw that there was additional personal accident insurance.

"Um?"

Bai Qiquan originally thought that this was just an ordinary employee insurance provided by the company, including work-related injuries and the like, but after a closer look he found something wrong.

“…including but not limited to accidents such as fire, earthquake, tsunami, typhoon, volcanic eruption, meteorite impact, and man-made accidents such as car accident, shipwreck, plane crash, rocket fall…”

There are so many work-related injury clauses that it’s frightening, and in addition to the ordinary natural disasters and man-made calamities, there are also some situations that you will never encounter.

"What about injuries caused by being eaten by wild beasts and similar creatures? And what about mental breakdown caused by hallucinations... Is our job really that dangerous?"

Bai Qiquan couldn't help but mutter to himself.

Just looking at these insurances, he felt that he was not going to work in the film and television industry, but a special forces team that saves the world.

It’s possible that Lu Ban will take out a strangely shaped stick that suddenly turns into light.

"These are just in case. You know, although you are mainly engaged in post-production work, it is inevitable that you may come into contact with some not-so-good things, so the insurance must be written in detail. Your beneficiaries must be filled in clearly to ensure that the other party can receive the money after you get into trouble."

Lu Ban answered Bai Qiquan's question.

“Why does it feel like it’s already assumed that something is going to go wrong?”

Bai Qiquan heard the guy next door mutter something.

But since it was Lu Ban who paid for it, no one said much and they all signed. I just edited a video and did some post-production. How could I be eaten by the monster in the movie?

In addition, there are conventional contracts such as confidentiality agreements.

After signing, Lu Ban put away all the agreements.

"Everyone, the reason I hired you is because my next movie requires a lot of post-production work. I expect this movie to be released simultaneously around the world between the second half of this year and the first half of next year. Therefore, we don't have much time left."

Lu Ban then said, he glanced at Qin Tiantian, the mascot was already playing APEX and had already delivered two packages.

"Wait a minute, with only half a year, how could we possibly complete that level of special effects with just a few of us?"

A man raised his hand to ask a question.

"Yes, Director Lu, your special effects were so impressive before, and we came here with the intention of learning. If we want to finish it in such a short time, we need to increase the manpower several times at least."

A woman echoed.

For a normal urban movie, post-production will only take a few months, for a costume movie with special effects it will take longer, and for a science fiction or fantasy movie it will take at least a year. As for the special effects of the level in Lu Ban’s previous movies, even if the top team was fully committed, it would take at least one to two years to produce.

Therefore, previous special effects studios in China were very curious about Lu Ban’s production process, and wondered where Lu Ban found such a strong special effects artist.

But now it seems... Lu Ban doesn't seem to have any special effects artist at all?

Or maybe... he himself is the special effects artist?

"Don't worry about that. I've almost finished the core part. You just need to do some simple processing."

Lu Ban said this and pointed to the screening room.

"Let's take a look at the specific original film and effects first."
