Chapter 9: Another Interview
It has been said that God is a very badly written novelist. He'll put together a lot of seemingly impossible coincidences very stiffly, and he will pretend to see you with a surprised expression.
Indeed, after coming out of Donghua Media, Lin Ye's mood has also become extremely happy.
Walking out of the buildings in the CBD center, Lin Ye looked at the white-collar workers who were busy walking towards the offices, and felt that they were all birds trapped in cages.
And he is the eagle who can really spread his wings and soar in the blue sky.
Because of the emergence of the transformation system and the changes in the cultural background of the entire world, Lin Ye also completely swept away the haze that had accumulated in his heart for many years.
Moreover, he is very confident that if the song "Song of the Pig" is really released, it will definitely be able to bring a certain influence on the Internet.
However, this is just a test of the water, and the classic songs that he remembers in his mind that are better than [Song of the Pig] can be said to be countless.
"It's a pity that my voice is not very good, it is too ordinary. There are a lot of songs that I can't sing at all......"
Walking towards the subway station, Lin Ye shook his head when he saw the underground singers playing guitars in the underground passage.
He has not undergone professional singing training, and he plays and sings some popular pop songs, which can only be said to be barely on the stage.
"Even so, even if I become a top songwriter in the Chinese music industry by writing songs and selling songs, is it not a matter of time?"
Thinking of this, Lin Ye's mentality can be regarded as completely correct and relaxed.
Even if Donghua Media didn't hire him, he can now go a wide range of ways.
And just then, his phone rang again.
It was Xu Zhiwen, his homeroom teacher when he was in college, who called, and in the past six months after graduation, Mr. Xu can be said to have been in contact with Lin Ye's work.
Before and after, Mr. Xu introduced seven or eight job positions to Lin Ye, but unfortunately after going to the interview, these companies used various excuses to refuse.
It's not that Lin Ye's grades and abilities are insufficient, but the experience of "murdering and hurting people" and half a year of criminal detention on Lin Ye's file.
Even if Xu Zhiwen went to the school to give Lin Ye a certificate as a guarantee, how many companies would dare to hire such an employee?
It is precisely because of this that Xu Zhiwen has always been very guilty in his heart, even if he tried his best to seek the leadership of the hospital, he could not completely protect Lin Ye.
Fortunately, Lin Ye's graduation certificate and degree certificate were kept, and his graduation was not postponed due to half a year's criminal detention.
For all this, Lin Ye thanked him from the bottom of his heart, and now that he has received a call from Xu Zhiwen, he doesn't have to think about it to know that Mr. Xu must have introduced him to another job opportunity.
Sure enough, as Lin Ye expected, as soon as the phone was connected, Xu Zhiwen hurriedly said: "Lin Ye, where are you now? Do you have time in the afternoon? ”
"What a coincidence? It's SOHO International CBD's side again? Xu Tou, I happened to be here, and I just interviewed a media agency here in the morning. ”
When Lin Ye was in college, he was very familiar with Xu Zhiwen, and they all affectionately called him "Xu Tou".
"What is the result?" Xu Zhiwen immediately cared.
"I don't know yet! Lin Ye didn't finish his words.
When Xu Zhiwen heard this, he said: "Then don't go back first, go to my classmate's company in the afternoon to try, it just so happens that they have a batch of open recruitment in the afternoon, it is only based on advertising planning ability, regardless of academic background and personal experience, it is just right for you." ”
"Okay, then thank you, Xu Tou, you send me the relevant information. ”
One more opportunity is never a bad thing, and since high school, Lin Ye himself has been more interested in the advertising industry, especially like to collect all kinds of strange and alternative advertising cases.
After hanging up the phone, Lin Ye received the information from Xu Zhiwen, and he was also taken aback when he looked at it.
"Tianhe Advertising Media Co., Ltd.......? This is one of the best advertising agencies in the industry!"
In Lin Ye's memory of the current world, Tianhe Advertising is one of the few advertising companies in the entire Huaxia Media advertising industry, and many well-known advertising cases in the industry are made by them.
Especially in the advertising business of foreign brands in China, it covers more than 60% of the business volume.
The advertising major of Communication University is also among the top three universities in the entire Huaxia country.
For these graduates majoring in advertising planning, Tianhe Advertising is their first choice.
If you can enter Tianhe Advertising as an advertising planner, it is enough to be envied and envied by the graduates of the entire major.
Because of this, Tianhe advertising is notoriously difficult to enter, and it almost does not recruit fresh graduates.
They want advertising wizards with real talents, and they are often willing to spend millions of dollars to poach the creative directors of other advertising agencies.
Lin Ye clicked on the detailed link webpage about this recruitment, and was instantly deeply attracted by the treatment of the million annual salary.
That's a million dollars a year!
Even if the best student in Lin Ye's class is now the best student, the monthly salary is just over 10,000, and this million is only the basic salary, and it is written that there are also generous bonuses and case commissions.
Other treatments, such as commercial insurance and publicly-funded travel, are even more generous than any other company.
With such a generous salary, the number of recruits is only one person, and the position is the chief creative director of Tianhe Advertising.
"Xu Tou really looks up to me! I can't even pass the recruitment of ordinary small companies, such a high-demand and high-treatment position, I'm afraid it is all the top talents in the advertising industry to break their heads to grab the sweet pastry, how can it fall on my head!"
Lin Ye's enthusiasm, which was originally ignited by a million-year salary, was extinguished in an instant.
But after thinking about it, although his own ability cannot be compared with those elites in the advertising industry, this world is already another world.
There are so many excellent advertising ideas in the world where he is originally located, and it has become the best bargaining chip in his hand.
"Xu Tou is right, try and you won't get pregnant, what are you afraid of!"
Lin Ye, who decided to give it a try, did not continue to take the subway home, but went to the side of the road to find an S County snack, asked for a bowl of scallion oil noodles, and ate half full with free soup.
At half past one in the afternoon, Lin Ye came to the CBD business office area again, but this time he came to the most central and luxurious No. 1 Hexagonal Building.
The Hexagonal Building can be said to be a landmark building in the entire SOHO International, and it is also one of the few buildings in Beijing that is completely designed by Chinese designers in European style with more than 100 floors.
Being able to enter here is basically a symbol of status, and it must be a top leader in the industry.
The interview time was half past two in the afternoon, and Lin Ye deliberately came an hour early, but found that the lobby downstairs was already crowded with hundreds of people who came to interview Tianhe advertising.
Moreover, Tianhe Advertising seemed to have expected such a hot scene, so it greeted the security guard of the building early and arranged for people to start the interview registration in the lobby on the first floor.
As soon as Lin Ye walked in, a security guard first asked him if he came to Tianhe Advertising for an interview, and after Lin Ye nodded, he received a flow chart and an application form.
There is a number on the information sheet, Lin Ye is already ranked 108th, and more than 100 people in front of him are estimated to have been waiting here since the morning.
The application process is also simple, and the entire process is fair and open.
All the people who participate in the registration will go upstairs to enter the interview room according to the order of the registration form, and the Tianhe advertising company will distribute the exam questions, and you can go to the first floor to wait after the exam, and the admission results will be announced on the spot.
Right!
Unlike other companies' recruitment methods, Tianhe Advertising's admission results will be announced on the spot, and the company's five director-level leaders will serve as judges to ensure that the results are open, fair and just.
After understanding the process, Lin Ye found a corner to fill in his information.
The entire hall on the first floor is in a mess, most of these applicants are old fritters in the advertising industry, most of them are familiar with each other, and they chatted with each other when they met.
"Yo, Director Zhang, what's the matter? You are the chief executive creative director of your company, so you are so open-minded to Tianhe Advertising to apply, you are not afraid that your company boss will have opinions?"
"Shhh
"Haha! With your Director Zhang present, I see that this time Tianhe recruitment, the rest of us can only accompany you. ”
"Don't be blind to me to pull hatred, everyone knows that the recruitment questions of Tianhe Advertising have always been very perverted. I'm not sure ......."
……
The conversation between these two middle-aged men in suits and leather shoes attracted most of the candidates present.
Everyone recognized it effortlessly, and the director Zhang who wanted to keep a low profile was Zhang Songlin, the chief executive and creative director of Greengrass Advertising Media, another top advertising company in Beijing.
In the advertising circle, Zhang Songlin is also quite famous, he has done several big cases, and his annual salary can reach about half a hundred, and he is already at the top of the pyramid in the advertising industry.
Therefore, what everyone didn't expect was that even a big man like Zhang Songlin came to apply for the position of Tianhe Advertising, so is there any hope for them, the little shrimp in the advertising industry?
In the crowd, there was a young man in his early twenties who squeezed out a way to Zhang Songlin, and handed over his business card very cheekily.
"Mr. Zhang, fortunately, the little brother is Wu Fan who came from the foreign advertisement, let's exchange the mobile phone number, and take care of it in the future!"
In front of so many people, Zhang Songlin was not embarrassed to refuse, and was easily obtained by Wu Fan with his mobile phone number.
In this way, this guy named Wu Fan got the contact information of more than a dozen advertising experts one after another.
And Tang Wenju, another colleague who came with him, also used the same method to get the contact information of many advertising people.
This is the purpose of the two of them to participate in the interview and recruitment today, they don't expect to be recruited by Tianhe Advertising, but they just take this opportunity to come over to expand their connections.
After all, there aren't many opportunities to bring together so many of the best in the advertising world.
"How about it, Old Tang, I got twenty-three contact numbers, how did you get it?"
Wu Fan shook his mobile phone and said proudly.
"It's a little worse than you, only twenty. Count me unlucky! I ran into a few bull forks and coaxed people, and I really took myself seriously, and I didn't bird me at all. Tang Wenju said a little depressed.
"It's enough to get these. It's better to come here than to go back to the company to hand out flyers!"
Wu Fan patted Tang Wenju on the shoulder, but at this moment, he saw Lin Ye in the corner of the crowd, his eyes suddenly widened, and he said happily, "Wait! Old Tang, I didn't expect to meet my classmate here......"
