Peninsula Entertainment Starts as a Writer

Chapter 530 Star You is on sale
Peninsula, inside a night food stall in Seongsu-dong.

Kim Soo-hyuk and Jung Chun-rae from the IT department of Lezhi Comics were gathering with several Kyung Hee University alumni.

"Let me just say it, our president always has a way."

Kim Soo Hyuk held up his phone to show everyone in a showy manner, and swiped the screen up and down with his other hand. On the screen were Naver's real-time hot searches, almost all of which were entries about ASMR, Han Zidong, and several girl groups' sudden live broadcasts.

"Yes, yes, your president is really handsome!"

A girl answered the call.

Being able to escape from the wave of national anti-government and turn around the reputation overnight is something that most people really can’t do.

She knocked her head and said: "Xing, if you say something, the ignorant people's hearts will turn to new events. Is that what you said?"

"No," Zheng Chunlai took off his glasses, raised his head slightly, and recalled: "The original words were like this, 'We want to regain the hearts of the people, and the incident must be covered up by other incidents. If other more important incidents occur, , that’s where the ignorant people’s hearts will turn.'"

When Zheng Chunlai spoke, his expression was sincere and his tone was full of emotion, as if he was reading some poetry.

I remember such a long line clearly, and his actions caused a boy to laugh and say: "Chun Lai, I rarely see you so excited. To be honest, do you like your president very much?"

Zheng Chunlai put on his glasses, faced everyone's gaze, nodded naturally, and then shook his head: "I feel like our president can make me see something new every time. If possible, I I want to follow him all the time.”

"Oh!"

"Chen Lai has found the light!"

"Then I will join you after graduation."

Zheng Chunlai smiled and shook his head: "I plan to enlist in the army this year, then go back to school, and then return to Lezhi Comics after I learn more skills."

"Enlist in the army?"

Jin Zhuhe was stunned for a moment: "Why didn't I know?"

"I only made the decision recently, and I haven't had time to tell you yet."

"No, you are too sudden. Let me slow down for a moment." Jin Zhuhe patted his head: "Does the president know?"

Kim Soo Hyuk smiled and replied: "I know, it was the president who advised me to enlist in the army early and resume school as soon as possible. He also said that the door of Lezhi Comics will always be open for me."

"Excessive."

Jin Zhuhe was completely stunned.

Returning to school and enlisting in the army were not on his schedule this year. When he suddenly heard that his classmates who joined the company were leaving, he immediately became worried about gain and loss. He put his hands on his thighs and was in a dilemma.

It's okay to resume school, but it's not impossible to drop out of school directly.

But there is no way to escape the matter of enlisting in the army. Everyone knows that it is reasonable to enlist as early as possible. However, he is not mentally prepared to enlist in the army this year. When he thinks of joining the army and saying goodbye to the colorful world for two years, he can't find it on the spot. Make a decision.

Enlisting in the army is a threshold that all adult males in the entire peninsula must cross. Zheng Chun's arrival made several other boys feel depressed.

The time to enlist in the army is generally about two years. During the service, you are not allowed to carry mobile phones, which means you have to be isolated from the outside world for at least 24 months. This is like jail for people who are used to socializing, dining, and clubs.

"Why are you all like this? Just be happy." The girl at the same table enlightened: "It's not like I want to join the army right away. It won't be too late to join the army next year."

Another girl answered, "That's right, you are not the only ones enlisting in the entire country."

A boy frowned and drank half a glass of wine, and then slapped it on the table: "What do you know? I heard that the ranks are in chaos. There are too many things where the old people are trying to tease the new people, and there are too many things that oppress the new people."

"Ah, yes."

Although there is no need to enlist in the army, the four girls at the same table have all heard similar news more or less.

A girl murmured: "The problem is obviously so prominent, but why doesn't anyone change it?"

"Hmph, who wants to go through all the thankless work to change? Even the idols are groveling and don't dare to say anything. Ordinary people certainly don't dare to complain."

Another moment of silence.

"perhaps……"

A girl raised her head: "Maybe it would be nice if a Korean writer could draw these things. Wasn't Dal Shabet saved by a short comic? Even T-ara was boycotted because of that daily article and Xingyou. The sound has become much weaker.”

A short clarification comic has sold more than 500 million copies in China, Japan, South Korea and many Southeast Asian countries, and a serial comic has still exceeded 110 million average subscriptions under the "wait and then get it free" model. The national character of Han Zidong's works is self-evident.

"Yeah, didn't he say that he is preparing a new comic with a suspense theme?"

Noticing everyone's gazes, Jin Zhuhe coughed: "It's hard for us to comment at will. If you let an outsider draw him, isn't this going to attract negative fans for him?"

"Too."

"It's just that I can't draw comics, otherwise I would have to..."

When a boy was venting his frustration, the female classmate next to him suddenly shouted excitedly: "It seems that your president is quitting Lezhi Comics."

"Mo?"

"Moragul?"

The crowd gathered around.

……

"Dear Lezhi Comics users, writers and employees:

Hello everyone!
……

The first line of code for Lezhi Comics was typed by Tumblbug friends on October 2012, 10. Two days later, a website with only a few static web pages was hosted on Tumblbug's server and quietly went online.

Three days later, we completed the first interview and recruited a total of thirteen colleagues, as well as two great figures Liu Shimao and Park Chunhyuk as foreign aid.

On October 10, we held our first staff meeting, marking the official launch of Lezhi Comics.

……

In order to better localize, Lezhi Comics will conduct a new round of financing...

……

In the more than three months since its establishment, we have looked forward to it, struggled together, been happy together, and celebrated together. Now it is time to say goodbye.

……

As the company's business expands, my personal ethics and abilities have become increasingly difficult to meet my current job, which has seriously hindered the company's development. After the completion of this round of financing, I will officially step down from the position of representative director and be replaced by the vice president. Zheng Xianying is fully responsible for the company's affairs.

After leaving office, I will still stay at Lezhi Comics and actively support everyone in places where everyone can and cannot see it!

……

I will continue my activities as a webcomic writer in the future. Tomorrow is the first day of Star Ni’s launch, so I would like to share my joy with you here.

November 2013, 1』

Is it difficult to perform the job with good moral character and ability, seriously hindering the development of the company?
How can it be!

Shock, silence, and discomfort surged from the chests of Jin Zhuhyuk and Zheng Chunlai.

Zheng Chunlai and Jin Zhuhe looked at each other and nodded slowly. The two of them packed their things and said, "This consumption will be recorded in Zhuhe and I's account. The company has something to do temporarily, and we have to go back together." trip."

"Go ahead and don't worry about the checkout."

Everyone else present expressed understanding.

Zheng Chunlai and Jin Zhuhe put on their coats and left quickly.

Watching the two of them walk quickly to the front desk to check out and then trot away, those who stayed behind felt indescribably shocked.

He was shocked by Han Zidong's sudden resignation as president.

After all, the soul figure of Lezhi Comics is Han Zidong, and now this soul figure seems to be "forced" away by public opinion.

They were also shocked by the heartfelt trust of two classmates in Han Zidong. Growing up, their parents, relatives and friends worked in various working environments, but they had never seen a small employee working for the company's senior personnel changes.

……

The original text of "Lezhi Comics Advertising Letter" quickly spread to the DingTalk groups of each Lezhi Comics group, then to large groups, then to department groups, and finally to the entire company's large groups.

All of a sudden, various chat messages flooded the screen, and the entire group exploded.

Many employees who live nearby rushed to the company immediately.

Not only Lezhi Comics, but also many peninsular entrepreneurs, webcomic writers, and ordinary people who are concerned about the wave of anti-Korean forces were shocked by Han Zidong's sudden resignation. One by one, they sought confirmation from the management, editors, and employees of Lezhi Comics that they were familiar with. The whole story.

As a well-known online comic writer and entrepreneur who has become famous in the past four months, he has not made any positive response to this somewhat inexplicable wave of anti-Korean moves. Unexpectedly, his first response was to withdraw from the business of Lezhi Comics. One line.

All the links ultimately pointed to two people, one was Vice President Zheng Xianying and the other was Han Zidong, and their phone calls were exploded.

……

After hanging up the phone from Jin Bumsu, Zheng Xianying took a long breath.

Han Zidong had told him many times before that he would slowly withdraw from the front line of business operations in the future and hand over the company to him. He specifically informed him of this decision yesterday. At that time, he repeatedly declined on the surface, but in fact he was somewhat expecting it in his heart.

Let me ask you, who doesn’t want to be the leader, who doesn’t want to flex his muscles and fully manage a club.

But now, he must admit that even though Han Zidong appears less and less in Lezhi Comics, his prestige among the management and grassroots of Lezhi Comics is still very high, so high that no successor can suddenly Take over the big stick of management rights.

No longer having any unrealistic illusions, he immediately sent a meeting notice to the DingTalk group and invited the heads of various departments to the meeting.

Then he called Han Zidong.

As expected, Han Zidong's phone was always busy and he couldn't get through at all.

Over the next half hour or so, the news began to ferment, gradually taking shape and becoming more conspiratorial.

A large number of insiders broke the news in various major forums.

Some people say that Han Zidong was expelled from Lezhi Comics by Naver webcom and Daum webtoon. Even the fact that both Chinese and Korean websites attacked Han Zidong at the same time is their masterpiece.

Some people say that Jung Hyun-young is Kim Bum-soo's Trojan horse, responsible for internally dividing Lezhi Comics, because Kakao Group also has a competing product that provides digital entertainment content that is about to be launched.

Some people also say that Han Zidong decided to quit the peninsula and return to Xia Kingdom. After all, he had just held a Xiamiyun music conference, and then announced that he was quitting Lezhi Comics. Everything should not be too obvious.

……

At nine fifty at night, the lights are brightly lit in Lezhi Comics.

Zheng Xianying admitted that she still underestimated Han Zidong's prestige.

Although the lower-level employees were not notified to arrive at their posts, the work stations in the company were already crowded. After a quick glance, almost all the old people who started the business with Han Zidong and came along the way were present.

Everyone looked at him with clear scrutiny and hostility, as if he was really a traitor recommended by Kim Bum-soo to gain the rights to Lezhi Comics.

"Good work, everyone."

Zheng Xianying nodded her greetings to the left and right, then bravely walked into the conference room facing the probing eyes of everyone.

He used to think that Han Zidong's flat management, his tendency to talk to employees, and his tendency to treat employees to meals were too arrogant, but now he only feels that his efforts will be rewarded.

He couldn't take this hot potato.

……

Xia Kingdom, Qindao.

"Okay, let's chat online. Hang up." In the hotel suite, Han Zidong sat cross-legged on the floor and asked Li Luduo to hang up the phone.

Li Luduo sat down next to Han Zidong and rubbed her wrist: "These people are not bothered. They call me so late, but I am exhausted."

"Thanks a lot."

Han Zidong shook his leg and bumped into Li Luduo.

"I can't help it, why am I the only one next to you?"

Li Luduo thought for a while, then turned sideways and looked at Han Zidong.

She opened her mouth, then closed it hesitantly, and finally, under Han Zidong's encouraging gaze, she asked: "Oppa, are you really going to leave the peninsula?"

"How is that possible? I just returned to my job as a writer, but they reacted too much."

Han Zidong smiled narrowly.

His decision to withdraw from the daily affairs of Lezhi Comics was not a temporary decision, but had been planned for a long time.

After all, he has limited energy alone, and it is difficult for him to be responsible for so many companies and comic creation at the same time.

Considering that Lezhi Comics is now on the right track, it is a good time for him to step down as representative director. However, stepping down at this time must be for the purpose of retreating in order to gain public sympathy.

But he never expected that not only his partners and relatives of female artists from Peninsula, but also employees from several Peninsula companies such as Lezhi Comics, trainees from Club C, and even female anchors from Hive Culture Media would call. Ask why.

Some people might have other motives, but most of them had unhidden concern in their words, which made him feel warm in his heart.

"That's good."

Li Luduo sat down with peace of mind. After waiting for two seconds, she whispered again: "Playboy, the address book is full of female artists and anchors!"

Han Zidong touched his head and shook his head when he heard this: "Headache!"

"Where does it hurt?"

Li Luduo stood up holding on to the sofa and sat on the sofa where Han Zidong was leaning: "Are you working too hard recently? Let me massage your head."

"Ah."

Han Zidong responded.

Li Luduo threw off her shoes, walked over, knelt down on the sofa, stretched out her hands, put them on Han Zidong's head, and pressed gently.

"Is the strength okay?"

"Heavier."

"Oh."

At this time, two mobile phones rang again. Han Zidong subconsciously wanted to take the mobile phone, but Li Luduo grabbed his right arm, pulled him back, and sat back down.

"Sit tight, are you the sun? Everyone wants to circle around you? Leave them alone!"

I don't know why the little girl behind him suddenly became angry. Han Zidong smiled helplessly, and then thought again, anyway, most of the people who should reply have already responded, and the rest can wait until tomorrow to slowly reply.

He leaned back.

"Yes, yes, little princess, I will listen to you."

"Humph, you know how to send me orders, and you even call me little princess!"

……

At 11:30 at night, all Lezhi Comics employees from Zheng Xianying down, including offices in China and Japan, issued a joint internal letter. It was an internal letter. In fact, within 3 minutes, this letter was forwarded to the external network, and then spread.

The internal letter summarized Han Zidong’s contribution since the establishment of Lezhi Comics, summarized Lezhi Comics’ contribution to the peninsula’s online comics industry in the past four months, and the elderly, painters and tourist cities that have benefited since the implementation of the pan-comics strategy. Finally, it stated Everyone at Lezhi Comics is united and does not support Han Zidong's resignation.

I have only heard of people being kicked out of the company, but this is the first time I heard of someone being retained by the company. Therefore, the two books and letters sparked heated discussions on both Chinese and Korean websites.

Han Zidong’s user letter and Lezhi Comics’ internal letter continued to cause controversy on both Chinese and Korean websites. Venture investors focused on Lezhi Comics’s upcoming next round of financing, while ordinary netizens paid attention to the reason for Han Zidong’s resignation.

……

February 2, Xinhua Bookstore, Imperial Capital.

Twenty or thirty handsome men and women lined up at the door. When they saw an employee coming to open the door, a young man stepped forward and asked, "Does your store have "My Love from the Star"?"

"Is it a new book?"

the female employee asked rhetorically.

The young man who asked the question looked disappointed when he heard this: "Don't you have it in a store as big as yours? If I had known about it, I would have bought it online."

"I don't know. Why don't I ask my colleagues later?"

"Okay, this is a comic book."

The female employee seemed to have remembered something, and her hand stopped moving: "Is it a costume comic that is somewhat similar to "Myth"?"

"Costume comics?"

The little brother was stunned for a moment, then he suddenly realized and said with a smile: "The first two chapters are indeed in ancient costumes, and there are aliens."

"Yes, there are aliens." The female employee's movements became more agile again: "I read two episodes yesterday. They were quite interesting, but there weren't many items on the store, probably only a few dozen. Whose book is this? ?”

"No, sister, the people selling your books don't even know?"

"What you said is new. I am a book seller. How can I be familiar with all the books?"

The female employee opened the store door.

Several employees in the store who had just completed the pre-opening work came up to express their welcome.

One of the male staff members had already heard the conversation between several people and immediately stepped forward to guide them: "If you want to buy "My Love from the Star", please come with me."

The crowd of heads all followed.

Seeing this attitude, the female staff member hurriedly asked her colleague: "Whose book belongs to it and is it so popular?"

"No, neck scarves are being searched every day these days. Didn't you see?"

"It's not like you don't know that I don't have a scarf."

"This guy is awesome. Let me tell you, he started from scratch on the peninsula and opened a company with a valuation of more than 400 billion won."

"How many?"

"That's 2.2 million."

"So awesome!" The female staff member's brain shut down: "Is it true or not?"

"Internet companies are like this. As long as there is an audience, the valuation will be very high."

"Yeah, what's going on with the comics?"

"My main job is as a comics writer, and my side job is entrepreneurship. Since there was no suitable place to publish it, he opened a comics website, and it became very popular all the way, and accidentally became a leader in the industry."

"Amazing!"

"There is something even more powerful. In fact, there were several comic sites in the peninsula before him, but these sites did not accept his comics, so after his comic website was launched, these sites joined forces to suppress him. I also bought a black man’s house online, and I heard that he was forced to hand over his business rights.”

"This is not bullying!"

"So now everyone on the scarf says that we should support him and we can't let outsiders bully our own people!"

……

Peninsula, Jiangnan District, Yongfeng Bookstore.

As the largest store of Yongfeng Bookstore, the customer flow in the store reached the peak point strangely early today.

However, what is even more bizarre is that a temporary counter has been set up in the store to sell books, and customers who buy books pay the money with one hand and receive the goods with the other, which is a tacit understanding.

In the book buying queue, Shen Liuzhen took her mother Jin Yumi's hand and looked forward: "We are finally here."

After waiting for another seven or eight minutes, Shen Liuzhen jumped up and down the counter and stretched out two fingers: "Give me two portions."

"Here, customer nim, please wait a moment."

The bookstore employee skillfully packed up the four books and said, "A total of 7.2."

Shen Liuzhen smiled and took the bag, while Jin Yumi took out her wallet and paid.

The two walked out of the queue and walked out of the store. As soon as they walked around the corner, a group of people with cameras and microphones came towards them.

"Can we interview you two?"

Shen Liuzhen snorted.

However, the other person's words later made her change her mind: "We are reporters of "The Fact" and one of the producers of "Le Zhi Daily"."

"Oh!"

Shen Liuzhen's expression softened upon hearing this.

Jin Yumei touched her daughter's little head and replied: "Okay, let's go to the side."

"Inside."

A group of people stood aside. The reporter glanced at his companion and received a confirmation gesture. He turned back and asked: "Excuse me, what is the purpose of buying your book?"

"My daughter and son are both big fans of Korean writers."

"Oh," the reporter knelt down and said, "Kid, what's your name?"

"Liuzhen, Shen Liuzhen."

Looking at Shen Liuzhen's cute little face, the reporter smiled kindly: "Why do we Liuzhen like Korean writers?"

"Because... he is a Korean writer. What other reasons do you need to like him? People who don't like him need reasons."

"Oh!"

Hearing this childish, but very reasonable reply after careful consideration, the reporter showed a surprised expression: "Yes, you really don't need any reason to like him."

He stood up and looked at Jin Yumei: "What do you think of the public opinion online in the past three days?"

Jin Yumi sighed: "I think it's too harsh."

"So you are also readers who came here specifically to support Han Zidong?"

"Yes, if our country cannot tolerate even one young foreign entrepreneur operating legally, what future does this country have?"

"Nai, Kang Sang Mita!"

Just when the reporter asked his companions to turn off the camera, Kim Youmi suddenly said: "Actually, I want to confess something."

"Inside?"

"..."
