Peninsula Entertainment Starts as a Writer

Chapter 79
Coincidentally not.

Now, the Top 2 of the most embarrassing moments of the year also happened, and the witness is still Kim Jae Kyung.

Ah... this...

"Yes."

Anyway, the truth has been revealed, Han Zidong admitted that he had a drink last night.

"I'm not saying that the wine culture in your country is simply poisonous. Regardless of whether beer, shochu, whiskey, and carbonated drinks can be added together, and whether drinking them together will cause stomach discomfort, I made up a 'bomb wine' ' title.

It seems that as long as you can pass the mouth addiction at the time, whether you vomit afterwards is a matter of later. "

"It is indeed a little bit."

Jin Zaijing lowered his head and tried his best to suppress a smile.

Han Zidong was rather annoyed: "Since I mentioned a new plan last night, why didn't you write it on the PPT?"

"Han Zidong xi, I still have a lot of things I don't understand about the planning of your nursery rhyme-style comic label. That's why I want to find you to understand it clearly."

Hearing the words "children's rhyme comic book label", Han Zidong's face became serious.

Oh my god, didn't he say something he shouldn't have said last night?
To be honest, the popularity of Xu Yihua's poster some time ago aroused his interest in the character's peripheral products, and he even secretly planned a very detailed peripheral business line.

Among them is the nursery rhyme-type comic label-Pinkfong Company, which is the company that produced the popular nursery rhyme "baby shark".

"Baby shark" has reached 2 billion views in six years since it was released, leading No. 30 "Despacito" by more than [-] billion. In the words of the fan circle, this is called a gap lead.

The appearance of this baby shark song broke the monopoly of Disney and other European and American entertainment giants in the field of children's pop culture in one fell swoop, and became a major phenomenon in the field of digital folk culture in the 21st century. It is tied with the director of "Parasite" Bong Joon-ho It is the representative of the cultural soft power of the peninsula itself.

Good cultural products are not only popular, but also popular.

The income brought by the huge fame will naturally be very considerable. Not counting the big income such as peripheral products and licensing fees, just playing the video of this song on Youtube, PnpFox earned 520 million US dollars.

The reason for the popularity of the song "baby shark" is similar to that of "Jiangnan Style". It was also imitated by netizens and became popular. Afterwards, the company invited a series of local girl groups to sing, which further promoted the singing of this nursery rhyme. Spend.

In a sense, the difficulty of copying this nursery rhyme is very small, but in order to ensure the maximum profit, he will not take it out and use it without sufficient strength.

"Maybe I mentioned a more specific example?"

Jin Zaijing shook his head: "It was very late at that time, and you had to rest after ten o'clock, so I only heard part of what you said, and there are still many confusions."

Han Zidong breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he didn't say anything he shouldn't have said.

The field of pure nursery rhyme comics is indeed very promising. In fact, let alone nursery rhyme comics, just expand it a little.

A little more famous is Xia Guo's half-hour comic series. This kind of knowledge-based comics are just the starting point, and the ultimate goal is still educational social media.

But the direction is right, but it does not mean that this thing will definitely be done.

What's more, the main purpose of his getting close to Kim Jae Kyung is to pull Kim Jae Kyung to do the web series of the idol manga studio together.

"Actually, Jae Hyun, I don't think you have the basic ability to enter the field of web comics or nursery rhyme comics.

Your best choice now is to start as a manga assistant and get familiar with the production process of a manga. If you want to make a manga independently, you must have participated in the production of at least one manga. "

"But you didn't say that last night..."

Han Zidong raised his hand and interrupted Kim Jae-kyung's rambling: "You may not know, because Star You's webtoon has become popular, Tumblbug In the past week, the number of webtoon projects has soared, and the competition among them is fierce. The daily crowdfunding amount is getting lower and lower.

I also heard Cheng Can say that Tumblbug will tighten the application for webtoon projects in the past two months. In short, the crowdfunding of follow-up webtoon projects will only become more and more difficult. "

"I see. No wonder they don't support me canceling "Gossip Girl". It turns out there is such a hidden secret."

Jin Zaijing thought about it.

Han Zidong secretly gave Liu Chengcan a thumbs up, you are so efficient at doing bad things.

"So, I extend an invitation to you again, and sincerely invite you to join our webtoon production department. As long as you are willing to join, I can let you heavily participate in the production of the next new webcomic that will be co-produced by webcomics."

Jin Zaijing is a little bit difficult.

It stands to reason that the job provided by Han Zidong should be very good, but she wants to make webtoons in order to attract a few little sisters to make money together, not just to find a job for herself.

"But I want to invite some friends to start a business together. If I go to your company, what should they do?"

"Is it your little sister Jin Zhishu?" Han Zidong tentatively pretended not to know.

"Not only Zhishu, but also Yuli and Shengya."

Han Zidong took a sip of water and thought about it carefully.

One or two, he can afford it. After all, the seven girls of Rainbow, who are known as "chamber industry idols" in the idol world, each have their own specialties. For example, Jin Zhishu is good at hosting and video editing, which is very suitable for the operation of webtoons.

But when seven people came all at once, he was really overwhelmed.

But now, he has basically figured out the original intention of the seven Kim Jae Kyung to make comics.

Just like the idol group has a seven-year curse, after the seven-year exclusive contract expires, whether all members can renew the contract determines the survival of the group, and three years is also a very important time point.

Generally speaking, artists, especially idol groups that have spent a lot of money, exceed the point of divergence of liquidation profit and loss. Generally, the fastest is about three years after their debut.

That is to say, the first three years of the debut of the idol group was mainly a stage for the planning company to recover the investment cost. They could not receive the settlement money from the company until they reached the point of divergence of liquidation profit and loss.

In other words, in the first three years of their debut, most of the idol groups basically had zero income except for a certain living allowance.

Of course, there are exceptions. For example, the debut of a group of a big company is a big hit, and there are more business resources. Naturally, the members can be settled quickly.

But it is obvious that Rainbow is not an exception, especially since he did not find much information on the captain of Jin Zaijing before. The most popular captain in a team is such a popular one, and the popularity of other members can be seen.

"Your family is quite big." Han Zidong teased.

Jin Zaijing laughed twice: "We are not a family, but the relationship between us is relatively good, so we hope to be together forever."

She was also thinking that maybe the seven of them could treat Han Zidong to a meal, completely resolve the "misunderstanding" between the two of them, and ask Han Zidong for advice.

"If you're willing to come over, I can hire you as a line draft assistant for the next co-produced webtoon.

As far as Zhishu is concerned, I think she has relatively strong communication skills, just as I plan to develop your built-in advertisement, she can come to run your business cooperation..."

Han Zidong paused, looked at Jin Zaijing, Jin Zaijing understood, raised his hand and replied: "I still have five younger sisters."

The hunky Han Zidong covered his face: "What strengths do they have, I have to meet and have a chat."

Jin Zaijing glanced at the time on the phone, and carefully suggested: "Maybe we can make an appointment in the near future, how about tomorrow at noon or afternoon?"

Han Zidong thought that since Rainbow's dormitory is in Yushuidong, it would not be a problem to find time to meet tomorrow.

"Tomorrow at noon, how about it? As for the location, do you have any suggestions?"

Jin Zaijing thought about it, the goal of the seven of them acting together is too big, so the place for the dinner should not be too far away.

Secondly, the consumption should not be too high, otherwise with Han Zidong included, the consumption of eight people would be enough for them to drink a pot.

"Tomorrow morning at 09:30 or after two o'clock in the afternoon, how about a party at Itia Cafe?"

"It's three o'clock in the afternoon. I'm going to the company for a meeting in the morning."

Han Zidong agreed. Although he didn't know why Jin Minxiu didn't notify Kim Jae-kyung, he couldn't hide the fact that Kim Jae-kyung's identity was discovered for a long time. If he had a showdown with Kim Jae-kyung earlier, he could avoid overturning.

……

On Sunday morning, Han Zidong came to the new office with half a cold.

The addresses of both companies are located on the third floor of a 5-story single-family building in Oksu-dong.

One of the rooms is about 40 square meters, with a small utility room, the office area can accommodate 10-16 people, more than enough, it is the office of Idol Comic Studio.

The other room is about 85 square meters. In addition to the main office area, there is also a meeting room, which is mainly used for the IT department, editorial department and personnel department of Lezhin Comic. Other functions are temporarily outsourced.

He came here today mainly to participate in the final interview of individual middle-level employees in the IT department and the editorial department, and to approve the final salary system of the two companies.

In addition to Liu Shimao and Park Chun, the two bosses of the big factory who came to help, the IT department also recruited a small supervisor Jin Encan with more than five years of development experience.

Han Zidong himself doesn't know much about IT, so he didn't go to work under the eyes of the three insiders, but chatted with Jin Euncan, Liu Shimao, and Park Chun about the application functions of the Lezhin Comic App.

Hearing that Jin Euncan gave corresponding solutions for several functions proposed by him, and passed the certification of Liu Shimao and Park Chun, after discussing with Zheng Huiyan, he gave a salary condition of 300 million yuan per month after becoming a regular, and Jin Euncan signed it on the spot. Signed the contract.

As for the editor-in-chief of the editorial department, two of them were selected for the final exam. After comprehensive consideration, Han Zidong chose the younger Park Hyuk.

But he also vaguely indicated that Lezhin Comic will have another recruitment in the next two months, leaving a hope for the old editor who was fired by Daum's comics department.

So far, the interviews of the two companies are all over. Idol Comic Studio has recruited 3 assistants for this interview, and Lezhin Comic has recruited 10 employees. Including Zheng Huiyan and two Kyung Hee University students who took a leave of absence, there are 13 people in total. .

Registered capital, office deposit, monthly rent, plus the salaries of 18 people in the two companies, and office equipment expenses, the total is 8795 million. The first fund he raised is 1.75 million, which is almost half of it. expenditures are evident.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, all the employees who passed the interview signed the contract.

He left alone 10 people from the editorial department and IT department, as well as two big bosses Liu Shimao and Park Chun, and planned to hold a small meeting.

Lezhin Comic conference room.

After a brief self-introduction, Han Zidong turned on the projector and began to explain the product logic of Lezhin Comic.

"Although Lezhin Comic has given priority to launching the website, I hope that colleagues in the IT department can understand that the priority of developing both Android and IOS apps is the highest.

Although we never reject web comics, from the core logic of the website, most of the writers we contract in the future may be comic writers, so the development of the mobile terminal must be completed as soon as possible. "

"Inside."

Several IT department employees responded one after another.

"Jin Encanxi, Liu Shimao and Park Chun are the project consultants I invited, and I will leave it to you to connect them. If you encounter any intractable problems during the development process, you must contact these two in time.

One more question you ask both of them, the more worthwhile my project fee will be. "

Liu Shimao and Park Chun smiled, and the latter replied: "We usually take time to follow up the project after get off work, and we will gradually get to know each other later."

"Okay, after the project development is completed, I will definitely give you a big red envelope." Han Zidong expressed his thanks to the two with a smile.

"Secondly, our website needs to be well connected with Tumblbug.

In the early stage, we need Tumblbug's open port data, so that users can use Tumblbug's account to log in to Lezhin Comic with one click. Later, we will use a series of activities to promote users to bind mobile phones, email addresses and perform real-name authentication. "

"Inside."

Jin Euncan nodded and wrote down the task.

"Most of the official functions are mentioned in the project book I gave, so I won't go into details. If you don't understand the follow-up, just go to the next door and ask me."

After assigning the tasks of the IT department, Han Zidong looked at Park Hyuk again.

The editorial department is mainly responsible for contracting writers, providing content for the website, and reviewing the content of the comics. This is the core of the website and must not be sloppy.

"Park Hyuk-xi, in the early days of Lezhin Comic's establishment, in addition to Star You and my other comics, you and the two editors need to sign a few writers as soon as possible to enrich the library."

Park Hyuk raised his hand and asked, "President, are there any requirements for the categories of comics that are signed? For example, which ones cannot be signed."

Han Zidong nodded: "I will send you an email later, including full attendance benefits, writer grades, etc. You can see it, so I won't talk about it.

Let me focus on the categories, adult content restricted by Naver and Daum, all of which are allowed on this website. "

Park Hyuk raised his hand again and asked, "President, don't you need to limit the proportion of adult content?"

"I repeat again, as long as the contract requirements are met, all adult web comics will be released."

"Inside."

"I know your doubts, but adult comics are the first selling point of our Lezhin Comic.

BL and GL, which were previously rejected by portals such as Naver, Daum, and Nate, are a great weapon for us to quickly seize the market. You just need to control the proportion and scale of pornographic content. After all, among our initial users, there are more young people. "

"Inside."
