In Zhang Yang's memory, the guest angler lineup of the genuine Black Pit Jianghu show is quite different from the Black Pit Jianghu Zhang Yang did in this life.
In a past life, the genuine Black Pit Jianghu invited guests through the Jingdiao Forum, mainly consisting of three anglers forming a team to engage in a series of black pit fishing explorations.
But in this life, due to the rebirth advantage, Zhang Yang quickly registered the Black Pit Jianghu name and uploaded a series of personal black pit fishing videos.
In terms of content direction, the Black Pit Jianghu in this life is basically similar, but the main figure on screen is only Zhang Yang himself, lacking the distinct personalities of the guests in the previous Black Pit Jianghu.
Early spring when fishing at the reservoir, Zhang Yang mentioned this to Wang Yan, wanting to develop him as an on-screen angler,
but it hadn't been scheduled for months. Now, with Wang Yan calling Zhang Yang to help ask about Han Qiang, Zhang Yang felt it was an opportunity.
In terms of fishing skills and intuition, Zhang Yang would give Wang Yan about 65 points, Han Qiang 55-60 points, while knowing slightly less about Zhou Chu who should be similar to Han Qiang.
Such a standard might not suffice for professional platform fishing competitions, but for small casual black pit events, they could adapt quickly with some guidance.
Moreover, with Zhang Yang having Xiaohuangmei bait, new medicine, and advanced fishing techniques, as long as the fishing environment was reliable, making videos up to upload standards shouldn't be hard.
"Hello? Still listening? Why so quiet?" Wang Yan's voice over the phone pulled Zhang Yang back to reality.
"Ah, yes, I'm listening! How about this, I'm at the shop, once you finish eating, come over here, we'll discuss it in person!" Zhang Yang decisively decided.
"Alright! Hanging up for now, see you later!"
"Okay!"
...
Wang Yan hung up the phone and looked up at his two brothers: "There's hope! Zhang Yang wants us to go over after eating!"
What was initially a random casual chat during leisure turned into excitement for Han Qiang when he heard there was hope.
"Damn, is he really recruiting? How about going with Old Zhou later? This Zhang Yang is quite brainy, maybe he has a suitable new job for us!"
Zhou Chu took a sip from his teacup and said with a smile, "Sure, let's check it out!"
...
While the three of them chatted over food, Zhang Yang quickly dialed Lao Zhao after hanging up Wang Yan's call.
Zhao and Zhang Yang have always collaborated by playing to each other's strengths,
Lao Zhao primarily manages the company and executes plans, whereas Zhang Yang steers the company's development strategy, suggesting various plans and leading on-screen filming, along with developing bait and medicine.
If expanding the Black Pit Jianghu show crew, Zhang Yang felt the need to mention it to Lao Zhao, as recruitment involves paying wages. Zhao is also responsible for onboarding details.
After a simple discussion about Zhang Yang's new ideas, Lao Zhao expressed his agreement.
Currently, the company's business is thriving, with online video streaming expanding into offline channels, making the addition of a few million yuan in operating costs per month not a significant burden.
After discussing his rough ideas with Lao Zhao, the two then pondered partnership and compensation, finalizing the general principles and salary standards.
At around one o'clock in the afternoon, Han Qiang, Wang Yan, and the three of them drove two cars to Zhang Yang's shop.
"Hehe! Welcome, my strong brother, Zhou, come on in!" Zhang Yang quickly stood up and led the three inside.
Due to their previous familiarity, there was no awkwardness when the three arrived. Zhang Yang quickly brewed tea after rinsing the teacups, exchanged casual pleasantries, and went straight to the point.
"After Wang Yan called, I discussed with Lao Zhao and planned new job roles, you can see if you're interested!
The company plans to recruit two more on-screen anglers, mainly responsible for daily black pit fishing. I'll guide you initially, and once on track, we can enrich the content!
I've previously mentioned to Wang Yan, if things are settled, we could consider hiring a photographer to free up Wang Yan!
By then, we'll have a team of three to four faces on-screen! Even if someone has things come up, we can handle it easily."
When it came to serious matters, Zhang Yang spoke slowly but thoroughly explained the requirements and direction without any fluff.
"On-screen? This..."
Upon hearing Zhang Yang's recruitment needs, Han Qiang, who was initially confident, hesitated.
Despite being outgoing with friends, ordinary people can be quite stiff in front of a camera without training or adaptation, even Zhang Yang initially was like that.
Frequent appearances soften that unfamiliarity over time.
"Yang, are you suggesting me to be on-screen fishing too?" Wang Yan scratched his head.
Zhang Yang grinned: "Why? Is there a problem?"
"Fishing isn't a problem, it's just being on-screen feels awkward! I wouldn't know what to say or do!" Han Qiang admitted, scratching his head with difficulty.
"That's no big deal! I was a bit anxious at first on-screen too, but you get used to it. We can start by filming some stuff along the river with Wang Yan to get a feel for it!
As for pay, there's a three-month probation period with a salary of three thousand, four thousand after regularization, plus insurance!
