I'm The Hard Rice King

Chapter 148 Isn’t this making trouble?

"Classmate, please sit down and don't be nervous."

"Yeah, I'm not nervous."

At three o'clock in the afternoon, after Wu Wenyue and Li Peifeng finished their meal, they began to invite people for interviews in the shabby studio that had just been completed.

A team that focuses on short videos requires about six positions.

Director, content planning, actors, camera, editing, operation, this is the most basic structure. But one person can also hold several positions, or even six positions on one shoulder.

Many big internet celebrities started out by themselves. After gaining a certain number of fans, they opened a studio to build a team or founded a company to sign more actors and equip more behind-the-scenes employees.

But for a start-up studio with only one actor, it usually only needs to recruit two more snake oils. The camera and editor can be one person, and the director, content planning, and operation can also be one person.

Add one more actor, and three people form a team. No matter how many employees there are, not only will the salary pressure increase, but there will also not be that much work to do.

The interviewers were all students from North China Normal University, majoring in media or new media. The sources were either introduced by their friends or teachers. It may be that Wu Wenyue screened them first. Li Peifeng looked at They're all pretty reliable.

When asking questions in the interview, two people will answer the questions one at a time. After Wu Wenyue asked, Li Peifeng asked, taking turns.

The former has really done his homework on short videos, and his questions are more professional...

"Applying for a job as a videographer? How many movies do you read per week? Which type of movies do you usually watch more? Which angle and distance do you think are the best and most beautiful when taking pictures of my face and body?"

"If you are a director and I am an actor, I want to make a short video related to the four keywords of basketball, appearance, makeup, and clothing. What is the color of the main body of the picture? How to match makeup, clothing, and props? How can I shoot without makeup, costumes, and props? How can I make remedial measures on the set if I forget to bring them?"

"You are applying for an operation position. You have relevant experience before and can do both content planning and editing. So let me ask you, if I were an actor, how would you design my positioning, what short video platform is suitable for it, and what is the user group like? Yes, how will you monetize it in the future? How many fans can you get in a month without funding? If the funding is 100,000, how many fans can you get in a month? Tell me the specific plan."

The above are Wu Wenyue's interview questions. When she asked them, she showed no expression and had a strong aura. When she asked the question in a dignified manner, the other party had to stumble for a long time to answer.

Li Peifeng is more wild. He has a smile on his face and a warm and friendly attitude. His first question is often...

"Bring me your phone and let me see your likes on Douyin. Is that convenient?"

"..."

"Work needs, not your privacy. After all, this is what we are doing. If you come for an interview, I will definitely know what content you usually watch and how long you use Douyin every day. If you are online for a continuous period of time on Douyin every day, Even if one hour is not enough, I still want to do this, which makes me feel a little unreasonable.”

There was nothing he wouldn't give. Li Peifeng just browsed the interviewee's TikTok and asked a few questions about the videos he liked.

For example: "What factors do you think contributed to the popularity of this video?" "What are the reasons why the short video account you created yourself is not popular?"

Although the questions asked are short, they do not lose depth.

Just like some online writers, although the number of updates per day is short, it is not uninteresting.

So during this interview, Li Peifeng spent more time looking at his phone than looking at people.

What left a deep impression on him was the mobile phone of a guy wearing glasses who applied for a camera job. He was an intensive user of Douyin and used it five hours a day.

Among the more than 40,000 likes, they are all hot girls in cool clothes and beauties with different styles, some are sporty, some are sexy, some are youthful, some are pure lust...

"I mainly want to learn how to dress."

The guy with glasses smiled shyly: "The second thing is to learn from the shooting techniques and see how I can make the characters more beautiful."

"Talent!"

Li Peifeng held the other party's mobile phone and traced it for more than five minutes without reaching the end. He was so impressed that he was so impressed that he affirmed to the frowning Wu Wenyue: "This guy is definitely a fucking talent, we have to get it!"

…

There were five interviewees in total, three women and two men.

The two applied directors also have operational and content planning capabilities. He talked a lot about the video style and content suitable for Wu Wenyue's shooting, and also came up with a rough plan for future development. I'm just nervous when I speak, and my speech is not fluent, but my mind is still organized and my thoughts are relatively clear.

The three applicants are capable of filming, editing, directing and operations. They bring their own pan/tilt, tripod, camera, mobile phone and other shooting equipment, and can bring a camera to work. Two applicants have very unique appearance conditions and can even appear as guest actors.

But in general, these five people have similar overall conditions. They don’t have particularly impressive resumes, and they don’t have the kind of success that they have worked with millions of big influencers, but they have more or less real contact with this industry.

To say that they are novices would definitely be belittling them, but to say that they are veterans is even less interesting.

Generally speaking, it is in line with Li Peifeng's expectations. After all, the students here are all undergraduate or postgraduate students. They definitely don't have much experience, but their potential is worth exploring.

Moreover, they have some advantages as students. They don’t have high requirements for salary. They just come to learn and exercise. Three of the five asked the same question: Can they issue an internship certificate?

It must be able to open...

After the interview was over, the two people discussed who to hire, but neither could make a decision.

Finally, Li Peifeng smiled and shook his head: "All of them are hired. Set a one-month internship period. During the internship period, the base salary is 1,500. The salary after becoming a regular is as you said, 3,000 base salary plus commission and creative bonus, one month. In the past, you kept people based on their performance."

The salary is not high, even very low in the capital, because these people are all students and have classes every week, and only come to work on weekends and evenings after class. And since working hours are flexible, it is reasonable for wages to shrink.

Li Peifeng also asked them their opinions on salary, and they had no objections!

With a monthly salary of 3,000 yuan, we can't recruit migrant workers, but we can definitely recruit a 985 or 211 key college student who has not yet graduated.

"But if we recruit them all, will the staff become bloated? We won't need so many people."

"Then which one do you want and which one don't you want?"

Wu Wenyue was also undecided: "I think it's okay, and it's just an interview, so I can't tell anything."

"That's right." Li Peifeng nodded and said, "Then recruit them all. Try it for a month. Once the internship period is over, you will know it by heart. And this is also an exercise for you. Only recruit two or three employees. You can’t learn to manage. Five employees, five minds with different ideas, five mouths with different opinions, you can get an idea of ​​how to manage employees.”

won't you help me?

Wu Wenyue was hesitant to speak, she really wanted to ask this question, but she didn’t ask, she knew Li Peifeng’s main job was to write novels, and she still had studies, so the studio would eventually do it by herself in the future.

Just do it, I will just work hard and leave the rest to God!

"Be brave enough to ask the moon, not afraid of difficulties!"

Li Peifeng comforted her, and said, "Call them and let them know that they will be on duty tomorrow. I will go out to buy things, such as whiteboards, computers, printers, and other office supplies. I also need to buy two high-resolution ones." Mobile phones, they cannot use their own mobile phones to take pictures, otherwise they will run away with their mobile phones, which will be a problem.”

Wu Wenyue hummed: "Tell me how much it costs, and I'll transfer it to you. I'll keep the account."

"Okay, I guess it won't cost much. You can get it within 20,000 yuan. As for the camera, it's too expensive. You can decide whether to buy it or not depending on the situation."

"Hey, wait a minute."

Watching the back of Li Peifeng leaving, Wu Wenyue stopped him again, seeing his puzzled expression, she couldn't help but feel a little angry: "Let's make an agreement, if Manning agrees to this matter, you must go to Li Peifeng before the Spring Festival." I will meet my parents at home!"

"no problem!"

Li Peifeng waved his hands without looking back, but he was thinking in his heart.

Can Xu Manying agree? Damn if you agree! !

…

"I'm back, come downstairs and pick me up."

At 7 o'clock in the evening, Li Peifeng went downstairs to the studio. Because there were too many things, he called Wu Wenyue and asked her to go downstairs to help move things. Unexpectedly, Xu Manying also came down.

"get off work?"

"Well, let me get this for you. You two worked very quickly. Can the studio be officially operational tomorrow?"

The three of them entered the elevator while chatting.

After a brief rest, it was already past eight o'clock in the evening, so I locked the door and went home.

"Man Ning, tell him about that."

After arriving home, Wu Wenyue seemed to be in a good mood, while humming a ditty while cooking and preparing for dinner, she raised her eyebrows at Li Peifeng, who was helping the cook next to her, "It's just to meet the parents."

Li Peifeng suddenly felt bad and looked at Xu Manying, who was eating meat secretly, with a strange expression on his face: "You agreed?"

"I agree!"

Xu Manying twitched her fingers and nodded happily: "Go ahead. During the winter vacation, you and Yueyue can go meet your parents. It's no problem!"

Li Peifeng's expression looked like he had really seen a ghost, and he stuttered when he spoke: "Are you sure?"

"I'm sure, but..."

Xu Manying changed his voice and smiled: "But, this weekend, you have to meet my parents first. They are also clamoring to meet my boyfriend. I have already made an appointment with them. But after meeting my parents, I will make an appointment with you." During my wedding, you can go see Yueyue’s parents during the winter vacation, it won’t affect you.”

"?"

Now not only Li Peifeng was stunned, but Wu Wenyue was also stunned: "What... What is the wedding date, we agreed before... Why didn't you mention this to me? Are you kidding me?"

"Hey, have you been spotted?"

Xu Manying smiled half-heartedly: "But it was obviously Yueyue who made the joke first."
