Peninsula Entertainment Starts as a Writer

What a coincidence.

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

Ah...this...

"That's right."

Anyway, the secret has been exposed, and Han Zidong admitted that he drank too much last night.

"I'm not saying that the drinking culture in your country is simply poisonous. I don't care whether beer, soju, whiskey and carbonated drinks can be added together or whether drinking them together will cause gastrointestinal discomfort, so I just made up a 'bomb drink'

''s name.

It’s like as long as you can satisfy your cravings at the time, whether you vomit or not is a matter later.”

"It's true."

Jin Zaijing lowered his head and tried his best to suppress his laughter.

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

"Han Zidongxi, there are still many things I don't understand about the planning of your children's song-type comic label. That's why I wanted to find out more about it from you."

Hearing the words "children's song-type comic label", Han Zidong's face became a little serious.

Damn it, 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 character peripheral products, and he even secretly planned a very detailed peripheral business line.

Among them is the children's song-type comic label - Pinkfong, the company that produced the popular children's song "Baby Shark".

"Baby Shark" has achieved tens of billions of views within six years of its release, more than 3 billion ahead of the second-placed "Despacito". In the words of the fan circle, this is called a gap lead.

The appearance of "Baby Shark" 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-level event in the field of digital folk culture in the 21st century, tied with Bong Joon-ho, the director of "Parasite"

It is the representative of the peninsula’s local cultural soft power.

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

The income brought by huge fame will naturally be extremely considerable. Not counting the bulk of income such as peripheral products and licensing fees, Pinkfong earned US$5.2 million just from playing the video of this song on YouTube.

The song "Baby Shark" became popular for the same reason as "Gangnam Style". It was imitated by netizens and became popular. Later, Pinkfong invited a series of local girl groups to sing, which further promoted the spread of this children's song.

degree.

In a sense, it is very difficult to copy this children's song, but in order to ensure the maximum profit, he will not use it without permission before he has enough strength.

"Maybe I mentioned a more specific example?"

Jin Zaijing shook his head: "It was already very late at that time, and you had to go to bed after ten o'clock, so I only listened to part of what you said, and now there are still a lot of confusions."

Han Zidong breathed a sigh of relief. It's good that he didn't say anything he shouldn't have said.

The field of pure children's song comics is indeed very promising. In fact, let alone children's song comics, if we expand a little bit, the future educational and knowledge-based comics will have a vast world, and everyone can do whatever they want.

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

But just because the direction is right, it doesn't mean that it will definitely be done.

What's more, the main purpose of his getting close to Kim Jae-kyung was to get Kim Jae-kyung to work together as a web variety show in the idol comic studio.

"Actually, Jaehyun, I don't think you have the basic ability to enter the field of web comics or children's song-type comics.

Your best choice now is to start as a comic assistant and familiarize yourself with the production process of a comic. If you want to produce comics independently, you must have completely participated in the production of at least one comic."

"But that's not what you said last night..."

Han Zidong raised his hand to interrupt Jin Zaijing's rambling: "You may not know that because of the popularity of the webtoon Tumblbug, the number of webtoon projects in Tumblbug has soared in the past week, and the competition between them is fierce.

The daily crowdfunding amount is getting lower and lower.

I also heard Brother Cheng Chan say that Tumblbug will tighten the application for web comic projects in the next two months. In short, crowdfunding for subsequent web comic projects will only become more and more difficult."

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

Jin Zhijing is thoughtful.

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 online comic production department. As long as you are willing to join, I can let you heavily participate in the production of this new comic that will be jointly produced by online comprehensives."

p>

Jin Zaijing is in some trouble.

It stands to reason that the position provided by Han Zidong should be very good, but she wants to make web comics to bring a few little sisters together to generate income, not just to find a job for herself.

"But I want to get a few friends to start a business together. If I join your company, what should they do?"

"Is it your little sister Jin Zhishu?" Han Zidong asked pretending not to know.

"Not only Jisook, but also Yuri, Seungah and the others."

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

He can afford to support one or two people. After all, the seven Rainbow girls, who are known as "cottage 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 at once, he was really overwhelmed.

But now, he has basically understood the original intention of the seven Kim Zai-kyungs to create 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 group's survival. Three years is also a very important time point.

Generally speaking, the fastest time for artists, especially idol groups who have spent a lot of money, to reach the point of liquidation of profit and loss is about three years after their debut.

That is to say, the first three years of the idol group's debut were mainly the stage for the planning company to recover investment costs. Until they reached the point of liquidation profit and loss, they were unable to receive settlement funds from the company.

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

Of course, there are exceptions. For example, if a group from a large company becomes a hit upon debut and has more business resources, its members will naturally be able to get settled quickly.

But it is obvious that Rainbow is not an exception, especially since he did not find much information about the captain Jin Zaijing before. The most popular captain in a team is so popular, and the popularity of other members can be seen clearly.
"Your family is quite big." Han Zidong said with a smile.

Jin Zaijing laughed twice: "We are not a family, but we have a good relationship, so we hope to be together forever."

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

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

As for Zhishu, I think her communication skills are relatively strong. I just plan to open Xingyou’s built-in advertising, and she can come over to operate Xingyou’s business cooperation..."

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

Han Zidong, a tough man, covered his face: "What are their strengths? I have to meet and talk about them."

Jin Zaijing glanced at the time on his phone and cautiously suggested: "Perhaps we can make an appointment in the near future. How about tomorrow at noon or afternoon?"

Han Zidong thought that since Rainbow's dormitory was in Yushuidong, it wouldn't be a problem to find time to meet him tomorrow.

"How about tomorrow at noon? As for the location, do you have any suggestions?"

Jin Zaijing thought for a while, and the goal of the seven of them acting together was too big, so the place for the dinner couldn't be too far away.

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

"How about a gathering at Cafe Itia at 9:30 am or around 2 pm tomorrow?"

"At three o'clock in the afternoon, I have to go to the company for a meeting in the morning."

Han Zidong agreed. Although it was not clear why Jin Minxiu did not notify Jin Zaijing, he could not hide the fact that Jin Zaijing had discovered Jin Zaijing's identity for long. If he had a showdown with Jin Zaijing earlier, he could also avoid overturning.

……

On Sunday morning, Han Zidong came to the new office after recovering from his cold.

The addresses of both companies are located on the 3rd floor of a 5-story independent 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, which is more than enough. It is the office of Idol ic Studio.

The other room is about 85 square meters. In addition to the main office area, it is also equipped with a conference room, which is mainly used for the IT department, editorial department and human resources department of Lezhin ic Company. Other functions are temporarily outsourced.

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

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

Han Zidong himself didn't know much about IT, so he didn't do anything behind the scenes in front of the three insiders. Instead, he chatted with Jin Encan, Liu Shimao, and Pu Chun about the application functions of Lezhin ic App.

After hearing that Jin Euncan gave corresponding plans for several functions he proposed, and passed the certifications of Liu Shimao and Park Bom, he discussed with Zheng Huiyan and gave him a monthly salary of 3 million yuan after becoming a full-time employee. Jin Euncan signed on the spot.

The contract was signed.

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

But he also implicitly stated that Lezhin ic will recruit again in the next two months, leaving a hope for this old editor who was fired from Daum Comics Department.

At this point, all the interviews for the two companies have ended. Idol ic Studio has recruited a total of 3 assistants for this interview, and Lezhin ic has recruited a total of 10 employees. Counting Zheng Huiyan and two Kyung Hee University students who are on leave, there are 13 people in total.

.

The registered capital, office deposit, monthly rent, plus the salaries of 18 people in the two companies, and office equipment expenses totaled 87.95 million. The first capital he raised was 175 million, and almost half of it was spent.

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

He left 10 people from the editorial department, IT department and two big factory bosses Liu Shimao and Pu Chun alone, planning to hold a small meeting.

Lezhin ic conference room.

After briefly introducing himself, Han Zidong turned on the projection and began to explain the product logic of Lezhin ic.

"Although Lezhin ic has given priority to opening the website, I hope colleagues in the IT department can understand that the development of Android and IOS APPs has the highest priority.

Although we by no means exclude page comics, from the core logic of the website, most of the writers we sign 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 Eunchanxi, Liu Shimao and Park Chun are the project consultants I invited, and I will leave it to you. If you encounter any difficulties during the development process, you must contact these two in time.

The more you ask them a question, the more value my project fee will get."

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

"Okay, when the project development is completed, I will definitely give you two a big red envelope." Han Zidong smiled and expressed his gratitude to the two of them.

"Secondly, our website must be well connected with Tumblbug.

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

"Inside."

Jin Encan nodded and wrote down this task.

"Most of the formal functions are mentioned in the project book I gave you, so I won't go into details. If you have any questions later, just go to the next door and ask me."

After assigning tasks to 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 text content of comics. This is the core of the website and cannot be sloppy.

"Park Hyuk Xi, Lezhin ic In the early stages of establishing the website, in addition to Star You and my other comic, you and the two editors need to sign several writers as soon as possible to enrich the library."

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

Han Zidong nodded: "I will send you an email later, including full attendance benefits, writer levels, etc. You can all see it, so I won't go into details.

I will focus on the category, adult content restricted by Naver and Daum, this website will allow it."

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

"I repeat once again, as long as the contract requirements are met, adult webcomics will be released."

"Inside."

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

BL and GL, which were previously rejected by portals such as Naver, Daum and Nate, are a great tool for us to quickly seize the market. Just control the proportion and scale of erotic content. After all, many of our initial users are young people."
"Inside."
