The cost of living in the United States is very high, especially for some college students who come to study abroad. After all, there is a difference between RMB and U.S. dollars, and one U.S. dollar in the United States is equivalent to one dollar, so the average family condition is not that of a wealthy person.
International students usually choose to work part-time jobs to reduce the burden on their families.
However, it is really difficult for Chinese people to find a suitable part-time job in the United States. For the same type of work, Americans can get ten dollars an hour, but Chinese people can only get five dollars or even less.
They will also be discriminated against, and many dirty jobs will be assigned to Chinese people.
It's good to get money, but some profiteers will even deduct and refuse to pay. Most part-time workers don't sign any labor contracts, and no one will care if they want to sue.
Of course, there are also many Chinese international students who will form Skype groups and post some part-time job information in them. Although it is not completely reliable, it is better than many international students who rush around like headless flies.
Li Yanan was waiting anxiously in an outdoor cold drink shop. From time to time he would lower his head and glance at his watch, obviously waiting for someone.
Suddenly a hand was put on her shoulders. Li Yanan was startled. She turned around and looked at the person and then breathed a sigh of relief: "You Lanqi, you dare to play tricks on me."
Lanqi and Li Yanan were classmates and best friends at Tsinghua University. After graduating from college, they were recommended to study in the United States. Li Yanan happened to be in the same school as her when she was studying for her master's degree, so the relationship was naturally as close as that of biological sisters.
"There's nothing I can do about it. I've just been promoted, so I can't just run away as soon as I get off work, right?" Lan Qi defended herself while avoiding her best friend's hands.
After the two laughed and laughed for a while, Lanqi asked: "Didn't you say you wanted to go back to pursue love? Why did you come back after going around in a circle?"
Li Yanan immediately wilted: "Hey, forget it, I've been in his hands for the rest of my life."
"Look at it, it would be great if you have someone you like. Sister, I have not found any man worthy of my sister's love in all these years." Lan Qi sighed.
"That's because you are too picky. You have had a lot of suitors since college."
"I can't help it. Who makes my sister so good?"
"Ugh~~it smells shameless."
There was another burst of laughter, and then Lan Qi remembered: "By the way, why did you return to the United States so quickly? Your confession was rejected?"
Li Yanan lay weakly on the table and lamented: "If only I had the courage, I would be his translator now."
"He? He also came to the United States?" Lan Qi quickly grasped the key point.
"Yes, his new movie is going to be shot in Hollywood, so let's go to the front line first."
"Oh, that sounds pretty cool. He is indeed the man you like. He is quite capable."
"Of course." Li Yanan wrinkled his nose proudly.
"Tch, so what?" Lan Qi didn't understand what this had to do with her.
Li Yanan took out his mobile phone: "Didn't you set up a Skype group? The domestic crew will come to the United States for filming in a while. The design involves collaboration with the American team, so a lot of translations are needed. Isn't formal translation expensive?
so......."
"So you came up with the idea of being a part-time overseas student. Sure, it will help the capitalists save costs." Lan Qi joked.
However, he immediately pulled Li Yanan into the group. Li Yanan thought about it and posted a recruitment message in the group.
Then, the whole group exploded.
"Is it true? $100 a day?"
"Oh my god, can I still join the crew? I have to go. I've never seen a movie shoot before."
Not to mention the explosion of international students in the group, even Lan Qi didn't expect that Li Yanan just told her to recruit translators, but she didn't expect to recruit so many translators, thirty translators? Does this mean that the entire crew will be moved here?
?
Of course, the international students in the group had little trust in Li Yanan, a new member of the group. After the initial surprise, they became suspicious.
As soon as Lanqi saw it, she quickly vouched for Li Yanan: "This is my best friend. The news she released is definitely correct. If you have time, you can contact her in advance."
As the group leader, Lanqi is still very prestigious. Over the years, she has helped international students find suitable part-time jobs, and she has never charged fees.
After Lan Qi spoke, someone immediately added Li Yanan's friends. Not long after, the thirty places were decided. However, it would take at least a month for the crew to come over, and it would have to be done according to the specific situation.
"Hey, I haven't joined the crew yet, how about you take me to work part-time for a day?" Lan Qi said, hugging Li Yanan.
Li Yanan said disgustedly: "You? Then we can't afford someone who spends thousands of dollars every minute..."
Before they finished speaking, the two started fighting.
Soon this recruitment information also spread among the international student circles. For the international students who did not get the quota, they just missed a good part-time opportunity.
Of course, some people have noticed that this recruitment is not easy. First of all, it is the crew. What crew needs so many translators? Secondly, which Chinese crew is going to come to Hollywood to make a movie? Taking everything into account, the result is already obvious.
Han Fei is coming to Hollywood to make a movie, which is definitely an exciting thing for some international student movie fans. "The Wandering Earth" brings more to Chinese international students than just the story told in this movie.
After many Chinese international students recommended their classmates to watch it, these students were shocked that China's science fiction could be so good. Originally, in their impression, China should be a very backward country, and news reports have always said so.
.
However, after seeing the special effects of "The Wandering Earth", no one would think that a backward country could produce such a good science fiction movie.
This is what the Waiguo people are like. They only respect the strong. These Chinese international students can clearly feel that their classmates look at them with a little more respect.
Only people who have been wandering abroad for many years can understand how rare respect is. This is why more and more Chinese students later spontaneously promoted "The Wandering Earth". They wanted more Americans to see this movie and see it.
A different China than what is reported in the news.
Since "The Wandering Earth", Han Fei has gained a high reputation among these international student groups who like movies. They have also been looking forward to Han Fei coming to Hollywood and letting the world see their Chinese films.
Originally they thought this would be a long process, but what they didn't expect was that he would be here in just a few months.
As a result, international students began to tell each other, and some even contacted Li Yanan, saying that they did not want to be paid, but just wanted to come to the crew to help.
Li Yanan also did not expect that Han Fei, a "old hat" who went abroad for the first time, would have such a big influence among the Chinese international students.
