Peninsula Entertainment Starts as a Writer

At 8:55, the other five interviewers arrived one after another.

Cui Xueli wore a pair of plain glasses and was busy playing the role of an assistant perfectly.

After seeing off Park Shengxiu, she led a girl with long hair into the room, and then sat directly next to Han Zidong.

After the girl finished introducing herself, Han Zidong asked: "The monthly salary is only 800,000, can you accept it?"

"800,000?" The female interviewer's pupils were shaking.

The income of 800,000 yuan is averaged over 30 days, which means that there is only 26,000 yuan per day. This amount of money is definitely enough for a day's meal expenses, but it is only enough for meals. At most, one glass of iced Americano is too much.

No.

Including phone calls, commuting, daily chemicals, rent and other expenses, this is not working, this is clearly working with a loan.

Although she had long heard that a job as a writer's assistant would pay less and do more, but she really didn't expect it would be so little.

"What about working overtime?"

"There is overtime pay."

Han Zidong smiled and replied that he was not really Zhou Bapi, and he would not deliberately withhold the money that should be paid.

"Does the working time have to be more than three months?"

"Yes, this requires signing a contract. After all, we also have to consider input and output. What we need are partners who can grow together, not apprentices who come to experience comic creation training."

The long-haired girl's expression was ugly. She hesitated for a moment and asked aloud: "Can I think about it for a few minutes?"

"Of course, please help me call the next interviewer in when you go out."

Watching the long-haired girl disappear at the door, Cui Xueli came closer and said: "Oppa, I feel that this assistant job is so cruel. You see, she is very eager to get this job, but she can't persuade herself to accept it for a while.

This salary."

"Compared with trainees, which one do you think is more cruel?"

Cui Xueli tilted her head and thought for a while: "The trainees are more cruel, especially those who failed to debut in the end."

Seeing the new interviewer walk into the room, Han Zidong put away his thoughts and continued the interview.

Except for Park Shengxiu, who was a bit embarrassed, the other interviewees were generally unable to accept the monthly salary of 800,000, and every one of them seemed very hesitant.

There was even a boy who was a little more courageous who took the initiative to ask Han Zidong how the monthly salary in the job advertisement was clearly 800,000-1 million, but it was only 800,000 during the interview.

In this regard, Han Zidong's explanation is the training cost. If the candidate has relevant work experience and can share the manpower once he is hired, then the other party will naturally receive a monthly salary of 1 million.

For these interviewees who have no work experience, he will spend at least half a month or even a month to train them, and he must also take these intangible costs into consideration.

Only three of the last five interviewees accepted the salary, and the remaining two directly rejected it.

After all the interviewers were sent away, Cui Shirley couldn't wait to take off her mask: "It's not easy for everyone!"

Cui Shirley was aware of Han Zidong's financial situation. She understood that Han Zidong only gave him a monthly salary of 800,000 yuan for the survival of the studio. However, when she saw the extremely troubled young faces, she felt that this society was really cruel.

"Now that the big boss has spoken, I have to work hard to generate income and try to raise the wages of the assistants who are on duty as soon as possible." Han Zidong left with a smile and walked towards his room.

The treatment he received as a comic assistant here in the peninsula in his previous life was much worse than the treatment he is receiving now.

That was in 2017. His salary at that time was only 850,000, and he didn't even think about overtime pay. He persisted in this kind of life for more than two years.

This is not to say that he will let all the newcomers go through his ordeal after being exposed to the rain himself, but that he is really short of money.

It seems that we still have to find a way to make some quick money.

After a while, he walked to the living room holding two contracts and handed one to Cui Shirley.

"This is a loan contract. Please confirm whether there are any problems and then sign your name."

"No need to be so formal."

"My repayment method is somewhat unique, you'd better read it carefully."

Cui Xueli then looked through the contract, and soon she saw the repayment method part.

"Party A will repay 30% of the electronic and physical manuscript fee for "My Love from the Star" in the next one year. If the amount of this repayment method cannot repay the debt, it will be repaid at 3 times the base interest rate of that year.

Principal and interest repayment...』

30% is 30 million, so the implication is that the annual manuscript fee for "My Love from the Star" is at least 100 million. On average over 12 months, the monthly manuscript fee for each month is at least 8.33 million.

"Why do you do this? Can't your crowdfunding project on Tumblbug be successfully completed?"

Han Zidong shook his head: "Although the daily progress varies, I should generally be able to complete the crowdfunding before the deadline. Even if it falls short, it will only be short of a million at most, and I can make up for it myself."

"Then why do you use this method of repayment? If you are short of money, the money will be given to you first. I am not in a hurry to take it back for the time being."

"There is definitely a lack of money, but it is not for this reason. In fact, I want to cancel the original crowdfunding project and replace it with a comic website project."

Han Zidong picked up his notebook from the table, opened a document, and showed it to Cui Xueli: "I'm thinking that instead of going to Naver or Daum to send traffic to others and earn a pitiful advertising fee, I might as well build my own website and adopt a paid model.

p>

This website needs to be operated and authors signed up. The investment is only a few hundred million, so it is simply untenable. The money can only be raised from online crowdfunding, so don’t expect to pay for it yourself.”

Cui Xueli didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Ani, I have only become financially independent not long ago. Even if you ask me to go out, I can't go out."

"Originally I wanted to apply for both, but the customer service said that one person can only initiate one project at the same time. I thought again and again and could only cancel the previous one, so the repayment period of the money I borrowed from you can only be extended."<

/p>

"Then don't pay back the interest. Pay back three times. You think I'm a lending society!"

Han Zidong was startled: "So you think I can't even earn 100 million in royalties a year?"

Cui Shirley:?

"What kind of level does a 100 million yuan a year in royalties count among your group of cartoonists?"

"It's almost like Girls' Generation in your girl group."

Cui Xueli choked for a moment: "Let's talk about the interest issue. Let's calculate it based on the regular interest rate for one year."

"No, no, no, you are doubting my ability."

"Aniyo, maybe you think you can sell the film and television adaptation rights within a year?"

Han Zidong shook his head: "The manuscript fee does not include peripherals, film and television copyright income, only pure subscription income, rewards and e-book sharing income, yes, it also includes royalties from physical books."

Let alone 100 million, let alone 1 billion. As long as you give him 13 months, he can change it. This is why he wanted to return to China in the first place.

Because even if he doesn't bother, as long as he invests part of his money in domestic exchanges, there will be a wave of fast money waving to him at the end of 2013 with a hundredfold return.
