The Rise Of Otaku - Chapter 215

Chapter 215: Chapter 215 The Applicants’ Videos

The incident of Tan Xiuran was an example of recruitment failure, but he could not blame other people. After all, her martial arts talent was also extraordinary. Originally he had already given up, but Zhou Fu still asked someone to watch her, and soon a friend told him that she had suddenly picked up a guitar after the new semester began and had begun to focus more on her band.

“What happened to her that made her change her mind?”

Zhou Yu was quite curious about this because from the personality of Tan Xiuran, wanting to change her life path needed some major changes.

“I heard that she wrote a song to her idol and got a great response.”

Pfff… What the hell are these reasons? That was to say that the job he offered and the promises he made were not as great as her idol’s response? Scratching his head, Zhou Yu suddenly felt that he was really old now. He didn’t know what the young people were thinking nowadays.

But no matter what, the ending turned out to be in the direction that Zhou Yu liked, so he took out the copy of “An elementary study on the essence of composition” that Bai Mo made and gave it to Zhou Fu, “give her this book, and tell her that no matter when she wants to join Qin Zhuan, we will always welcome her.”

Bai Mo’s composer level could only allow him to write the “elementary” level books, but it was enough for Tan Xiuran to learn. When she finished the study of this book, coupled with the original music production talent, if she had enough practice, it would not be difficult for her to become successful.

Zhou Fu accepted the rough book, but in his heart, he did not dare to despise it because he knew that whenever Zhou Yu recruited some strange people, he would take out such books. These books could not be underestimated, the first disciple Wu Yun could have her current skills was all because of the books Zhou Yu gave her. And now her disciples were also studying the same book as well.

The second was the junior brother Lou Xiaobao, he also got a book, and whenever he was free, he would take it out to study it. Once the master Cheng also read the book and then called Zhou Fu to ask who wrote the book. Being able to understand and write the essence of the martial arts instructor so thoroughly, it was definitely not an ordinary man. It made him really want to meet the author very much. So he asked curiously, “why did you ask Xiaobao to come out when you have such an excellent teacher at home?”

Alas, I have been staying in the amusement park for so long, but I have never seen Zhou Yu contact anyone, who knows who the author was. Zhou Fu had also seen Zhou Yu busy writing something on his computer before, but he did not believe that Zhou Yu could write this kind of book. Someone else must have sent him the document and asked him to print it out.

As for the question of why Xiaobao needed to come out, it was easy to explain. It seemed like the teachers behind Zhou Yu did not like to communicate with their disciples. Wu Yun was like this, Lou Xiaobao was also like this, now this Tan Xiuran was no exception.

He really didn’t know where Zhou Yu found these teachers, every one of them was like reclusive hermits, fear of being found. But it didn’t matter now. As long as there was something that they could teach those disciples, and the foundation of Qin Zhuan studio could be built, the rest could be ignored.

Seeing all the office work was almost done, Zhou Yu wanted to leave the office quickly. Although he came here only once a week, every time he would have a lot of office work to do. In the amusement park, this was the only place Zhou Yu did not want to come. Whenever he came here, he would feel like sitting on the electric chair.

However, Zhou Fu would not let Zhou Yu off so easily.

There was no boss more unreliable than him, working only one day a week in the office. Some time ago, he hid in the studio for half a month. After that, he basically hid from everyone for a few weeks. Now he wanted to leave without finishing all the accumulated work?

Zhou Yi blocked the door of the office without any mercy, cutting off Zhou Yu’s escape route. Zhou Yu could only go back to his chair obediently, and said, “come, show me what you got.”

“It’s been a month since I posted the job advertisement for Qin Zhuan studio, and I have received a lot of applicants’ videos. You said you need to go over them in person, no matter how good they were in the past. Now you need to check all of these!”

A pile of applicants’ videos was all stored in the office on Zhou Yu’s computer. Clicking the file open to have a look, there were at least, several thousand videos. The appeal of the studio was indeed no joke. It was just that if he needed to check every one of them one by one, this workload would cost him another day.

It doesn’t matter what the content of the video was, as long as it revealed the applicants’ faces. These videos had been checked by the park office’s staff to remove all the unqualified ones already. For example, the videos that didn’t show any faces, or surpassed the age limit. It saved him a lot of work.

People were not clear why Qin Zhuan studio’s recruitment requirements were so strange, almost all the people thought that the studio wanted to see the creativity of applicants, so in order to attract Zhou Yu’s attention, they were using all kinds of tricks in the videos. From the beginning to the end, Zhou Yu felt like he was watching the funny videos contest.

Some people made funny skits, some people gave speeches, and some people demonstrated their skills in the videos, but Zhou Yu was not in the mood to watch them at all. When he saw the face, he just checked their information straightaway. No matter how compelling the video was, the person with low Otaku power, or the least potential, would be immediately ignored. And the person that matched the requirements would be transferred to a different folder and wait for the second round of selection.

Zhou Fu was very confused about Zhou Yu’s selection method. No matter how long the video was, he only watched it for 30 seconds. He didn’t seem to care about the content of the video at all.

This was like he just wanted to see their faces?

But it also didn’t seem right, because although there were a few good looking people, who were selected for the second round, there were also a lot of people with poor looks, and many more with the ordinary look.

Appearance did not seem to be the criterion for selection.

But if it was not the appearance, what could the 30 seconds of video possibility tell him? Zhou Fu was watching him checking the video for a long time, but he could not find anything that those people had in common. Finally, he could not help asking, “I mean Boy Yu, you are not playing around, are you? Don’t tell me that because you want to finish this quickly, so you chose people randomly? Can you at least let them finish talking first before rejecting them? And this one, his résumé is very good, and he used to work in the big studio in other countries, why did you not select him?”

Zhou Fu’s suspicions were very reasonable. But in Zhou Yu’s eyes, all the disguise was useless. This person indeed looked great from the resume alone, but his Otaku power was only 1.1, and the best talent was actually picking up girls.

Clearly, his résumé was fake, and he didn’t have any skills. At most, he was someone from a rich family. If such a man were to be hired into the team, Zhou Yu wondered how many foolish girls would be ruined by him.

But he could not explain it clearly to Zhou Fu, so he just replied vaguely, “don’t worry, I have already asked other people to investigate these applicants, and I’m just making the final confirmation.”

Zhou Fu didn’t believe this explanation at all. Do you think you are playing a detective game? Or you are running a mysterious investigation agency?

Dazzling people were indeed very hard to find, even if in this kind of recruitment, there were only less than two digits of them.

However, one of the dazzling people suddenly attracted Zhou Yu’s attention.
