Peninsula Entertainment Starts as a Writer

Chapter 48 Touching Naver Kakao and Crossing the River
Does Lezhin Comic need to be so aggressive?

necessary!

Naver and Daum are trillion-level giants, and their natural brand value will make more outstanding cartoonists choose Naver and Daum first, even if they cannot receive any payment from electronic channels for the time being.

The production of the micro-variety show "Idol Comic Room" will attract traffic for Lezhin Comic, complete the accumulation of initial users, and boost the brand value of Lezhin Comic.

More importantly, he is well aware of the achievements Naver and Kakao will make in the field of web literature and web comics in the next ten years:
In 2021, the three reading products with the highest revenue in the world are Piccoma, Line Manga, and WEBTOON.

Piccoma belongs to Kakao. Less than six years after its launch on RB, users have recharged 10 billion US dollars, making it the most profitable comic platform in the world.

Line Manga and WEBTOON belong to the Naver camp, helping Naver become the manga group with the most monthly active users and the most revenue in the world.

Fight with giants like Naver and Daum in the content industry. If you win, you will rebuild an entertainment giant in minutes; even if you lose, it will still be a novel experience!

Han Zidong would not talk about brand value with Pei Zhuxuan, nor would he express his ambitions. Facing this girl of the same age, he chose to tell a story.

A story about bullying young people and being poor.

"Actually, yesterday morning and noon, I received email invitations from Naver and Daum respectively. Both parties warmly invited you to join their respective comic platforms."

Pei Zhuxuan nodded obediently, and then asked: "Isn't this very good?"

Seeing Han Zidong and the two manga assistants smiling back to varying degrees, she tilted her head and asked, "Did I say something wrong?"

"Joo Hyun, you seldom read comics online, do you?"

Pei Zhuxuan felt guilty when she heard that, in fact, she rarely reads comics: "Nai, I occasionally go to the comic room."

"It's not surprising. In fact, comics on Naver and Daum are free to operate."

"Inside? Free?" The pupils of the little white rabbit trembled.

"That's right, except for a small number of completed comics that will be paid for operation, most of the web comics are completely free to watch."

"If the works are completely free to watch, how can you cartoonists ensure your survival?"

Han Zidong spread his hands, expressing helplessness.

"I also asked those two editors the same question, but the content of their replies was basically not bad, they just said that when users browse comics, the webpage will pop up a pre-roll advertisement.

According to the number of views and clicks of users, the platform will regularly conduct advertising settlement. "

"How much income can you earn in that month?"

"They all avoided talking about this issue, but told me that as long as the star's reputation continues to increase, it is expected to publish a physical book next year, and I will be able to rely on royalties to support myself."

The people present are not stupid, Naver and Daum's advertising settlement must not be too high, otherwise, they would have used this selling point to attract Han Zidong.

"So, I suggested that you can try to pay for the operation, and guess what happened?"

Jiang Seul Qi leaned forward, Bae Joo Hyun's almond eyes twinkled, Park Sung Soo looked expectant, only Kim Min Soo folded his arms and remained unmoved, as if he had seen through everything.

"As a result, people told me that they are only responsible for the warehousing and launching of works, and the operation is not theirs. They also advised me to be more down-to-earth, not to only care about immediate interests, and not to get carried away just because it is popular."

Jiang Seqi comforted, "Zuo... Brother Zidong, don't be discouraged, you are really popular on SNS, as long as the fee is reasonable, I believe many readers will follow you."

Han Zidong nodded and forced a smile: "From that moment on, I knew that the arrogant Naver and Daum were not suitable for me, nor for webtoons.

The comics operated by Naver and Daum just changed the channel of traditional comics from comic publications to the Internet, and these platforms are still as arrogant as the publications that published comics in the past, just to increase the number of views for their own websites.

This isn't a real webtoon, at least not one that I would approve of.

The real webtoon should be that comic writers can overcome all discrimination barriers, publish their works on the Internet, let more users appreciate his works, and get matching royalties.

Naver and Daum don't want to do this, but I want to give it a try. "

Lezhin Comic was actually created to challenge Naver and Daum, even though it is only on the track of web comics, it is enough to shock people.

For Pei Zhuxuan and Jiang Seulqi, this is probably like a newly established artist planning and management company, ready to challenge the star factory - SM.

The two of them don't understand the web comics market, and they won't blindly compliment Han Zidong just because they are acquaintances, so let's talk about things they understand.

Ever since, the two of them turned their attention back to that micro-variety show.

"Brother Zidong, what is the specific process of your micro-variety show?" Jiang Seqi asked.

She really can't understand how comics and variety shows are combined. In her opinion, comics are static creations, while variety shows are dynamic performances. The styles of the two are different, so how can they be integrated.

"To put it simply, there are singing and dancing games, comic creation, stage performances and other processes..."

Hearing the words "comic creation", Pei Zhuxuan couldn't help covering her mouth and laughing when she thought of her soul drawing skills since she was a child.

Han Zidong looked at Pei Zhuxuan, thinking that there was no homonym in his words, so he made Pei Zhuxuan laugh.

"Joohyun, what are you laughing at?"

"Sorry, keep talking."

Pei Zhuxuan lowered her head and forcibly suppressed her smile, but her trembling shoulders betrayed her.

"Let's continue." Han Zidong didn't know why, but he didn't argue, and continued: "I know you must be curious about the creation of comics, and you don't have to worry about this.

This is a link similar to placing an advertisement. All contestants will participate in the creation of a comic setting, such as character personality, experience, and image design. Those who perform well can get a part of the reward.

What are the specific rewards, let me keep it a secret. "

After Pei Zhuxuan released her smile, she slowly raised her head and returned to the appearance of that porcelain doll.

"Then if someone like me who can't draw or understand comic design, how should I behave in this session?"

Han Zidong incarnated to encourage the master, and praised with a smile: "Zhuxuan, you have successfully taken the first step in performing arts. Congratulations."

"Inside?"

Pei Zhuxuan showed doubts.

Han Zidong didn't reply directly, but picked up the pork ribs in front of Jin Minxiu.

Jin Minxiu was eating happily, and seeing the ribs being taken away, she was just like a dog protecting the food, and immediately became angry.

Afterwards, Han Zidong returned the ribs, and Jin Minxiu took the plate and put it directly on her plate. At the same time, he did not forget to protect the ribs with his other hand, for fear that Han Zidong would make another move.

This childish scene drew Pei Zhuxuan and Jiang Seulqi to smile.

Han Zidong seized the opportunity and explained: "Variety shows are actually performances, whether it is surprising, laughing or touching, as long as it can arouse the audience's emotional fluctuations, it is a scene worthy of recognition.

Compared with the resistance at the beginning, you can now take the initiative to think about how to express yourself, and you have made great progress. "

Then, he turned to Jiang Seulqi again: "Seqi, you can just perform normally. If one day you don't want to be a trainee, my line draft assistant here will keep it for you at any time."

"Inside." Jiang Seqi narrowed her eyes with a smile, showing her naivety.

"Don't just laugh, you are at the age of greedy mouths. I guess the company is strict with you. It's rare that you come out to be a little more reckless and don't eat more."

"No, there is a test tomorrow afternoon, if you are overweight, you will be criticized."

"It's simple, you just run back like you did on the Mid-Autumn Festival." Han Zidong teased.

Hearing Han Zidong's words, Jiang Seqi recalled the scene where she insisted on running back during the Mid-Autumn Festival, and replied with her face covered.

"Then I'll eat two more yuan."

"That's right. You should also be careful not to diet or exercise excessively. Remember that managing your body is the most important thing. Wasn't Hyuna forced to quit Wonder Girls because of her health?"

Han Zidong's gaze turned to Pei Zhuxuan again.

Pei Zhuxuan sensiblely picked up a piece of beef.

Han Zidong nodded in satisfaction: "Even if the preparations for this micro-variety show start now, it will take nearly half a month of trial shooting and running-in.

During this process, as long as you have the idea of ​​quitting, you can quit at any time, and I can guarantee this. "

As Pei Zhuxuan and Jiang Seulqi's bottom line was broken, the two had a full meal without knowing it.

Regarding whether to participate in this micro-variety show, Han Zidong didn't ask the two women to give an answer on the spot, so he naturally got their personal contact information.

After sending off a trainee and adding a minor trainee in the same year, the rooftop started the second half of the barbecue party.

As the only one of the three who had gone to college, Kim Min-soo took out the MT (Membership Training) queen's housekeeping skills - bomb wine.

As expected of the legendary vomiting artifact, Park Sung-su contributed to his first vomiting tonight before drinking two rounds.

Jin Minxiu raised a middle finger in contempt, turned around, and raised his glass again: "Come on, boss, let's go one more time!"

go your sister!
Han Zidong rubbed his forehead, he didn't expect Jin Minxiu to be a drunkard besides being greedy.

His own view on alcohol is similar to that of ramen, that is, you can only drink a little, not too much.

Before I went to Yingyuefeng Park, I brought three cans of wine because Jin Minxiu was so stubborn that he didn't see his ID card and refused to sell him wine. Bought three cans.

"Let me tell you, I won't take you home. If you drink too much later, I'll call your mother directly."

"My mother is in Gyeonggi-do, why are you calling her?" Jin Minxiu looked at Han Zidong sideways, and after a while, she asked, "Boss, you seem to be very optimistic about Pei Zhuxuan and have been paying attention to her."

"She is very beautiful, I don't think she is very normal!"

"No." Jin Minxiu raised his head and took another big sip of wine: "Sulli is also very beautiful."

"You don't understand," Han Zidong thought absently, and subconsciously repeated: "She is very beautiful."

"Who?"
