"Yes, yes, the basic designs of the "Blue Life and Death" and "White Tower" themed sweatshirts have been completed and will be released in five days. Don't rush, don't rush, you are not the only one who is anxious, we are already so busy that the soles of our feet are boiling Smoked."

"The Starry Terrace said that the Valentine's Egg Rolls have been sold out. Thirty thousand egg rolls were sold out in two days. It's really scary..."

"It will be even more scary in the future. Judging from this momentum, the ratings data for the next episode will be even more popular. The sales of the first half of the video of "Blue Life and Death" increased by 200% in one week."

"President Lin, hello, I am Matsumoto from Mizunami Productions. I recently read your TV magazine and found some comments about our company's artist Isshin Sakamoto. I think it is seriously untrue... I thought we had reached an agreement. We have reached a consensus, why do we still publish such negative news about artists? In this case, we can only change the publishing house we cooperate with for the "Blue Life and Death" themed photo album."

"Izuki Hitomi and Sakamoto Isshin have no schedule for the past six months. Why don't you look at Takami Inoshita? Although she only plays a supporting role in this TV series, she is also very valued by fans and the market. And as a company-trained The first batch of artists will definitely receive great attention in the future, and signing a two-year endorsement contract is a good deal now... Expensive? How can it be expensive? This endorsement fee is a sincere price."

In fact, he was not sure whether Takami Inoshita would have a chance to be selected by Kei Fujiwara as the heroine of other works, but whatever, let's make money first. As a freshman department, the Artist Management Department is currently extremely short of money, and the company's blood transfusions to them are also extremely limited. They must first earn enough money from these three artists before they can support other artists.

We’ll talk about word-of-mouth management later.

"..."

The entire production of Shuibo has become busy. There were already many things to do. The ending of "A Qian is Coming" and the start of the second half of "The White Giant Tower" have brought a lot of business to all departments of the company.

The sudden rise of "Blue Life and Death Love" made these people feel an unparalleled heavy workload. Half of the company has entered a busy overtime state, and some people even live in the company directly in order to cope with the sudden increase in workload several times in the short term.

The reason why this kind of thing happens is precisely because small companies have insufficient personnel and cannot bear a large volume of business at a time. But I dare not blindly recruit too many regular employees. After all, the temporary expansion of business volume does not mean that the company can maintain this kind of business volume and profitability for a long time. What if the current business growth is unsustainable? Recruiting too many regular employees will only overwhelm yourself.

Faced with this situation, Yoshida Kaishi dealt with it in time. On the one hand, more "temporary workers" are recruited into Shuibo Production. The operation of recruiting a large number of temporary workers is commonplace in Japanese companies. I chose this approach because I didn’t want and couldn’t afford too much employee insurance premiums and long-term wages.

In fact, there are many such long-term temporary workers in Japanese society. Japanese companies have seniority rankings and tenure, which seems to be very good. The rights and interests of workers can be guaranteed to the greatest extent. But in fact, there are still many loopholes to exploit at the operational level.

But there are downsides to such temporary employment. This can be seen from many social news. First, the ability is low and the ability to handle emergencies is lacking. For example, many people will do something stupid and make people angry, and it will be in the news. When the result is a big fuss, they will use their status as "temporary workers" to shirk the blame. There are excuses, but in many cases the troublemakers are genuine temporary workers.

The working ability and experience of temporary workers are a little worse than that of regular employees. Since they are not bound by a long-term contract, they inevitably lack a sense of responsibility. There is nothing we can do about it. Moreover, the company will inevitably use resources to provide business training to these temporary workers, but these employees may not necessarily belong to the company after they are trained. This also causes a waste of resources to a certain extent.

But there is nothing you can do about it. If you want to enjoy the convenience and cheapness of temporary workers, you have to endure a certain degree of waste and trouble. The business philosophy of Mizunami Production is production-centered, so cultivating more regular headquarters employees is a must, but not now. Whether Shuibo Production can achieve stable profitability remains to be seen.

Although Yoshida Kafumi believed in Fujiwara Kei's abilities, a company could not be sustained by one person alone.

On the other hand, the company has also begun to pay performance bonuses, small wages, and various holiday benefits in advance to these employees who have been overloaded recently. Since the three recent TV drama projects have all sold well, the amount of bonuses is also very gratifying.

Spending money alone seemed vulgar, so Yoshida Kashi contacted the farm in Hokkaido, bought a lot of pigs, and sent half of them to the employees' homes. At the same time, we also promised employees that the company will increase manpower in the near future and that the current overload of work will not continue.

The power of money and things is infinite. As long as the treatment is in place, some short-term "squeeze" will not be so unbearable.

So another week passed, and more and more people were setting up tents on the ground in the company.

When Kei Fujiwara heard about this situation, he deliberately went to inspect the department. As a result, when the head of the operating department saw Kei Fujiwara, he excitedly showed him a group of employees laying floors in the office, and kept bragging about the employees' dedication and hard work. Spirit.

They even used a struggler in the department who was obviously sick but still insisted on working despite being sick, and wished he could stay at his workstation while wearing a bottle as an example to show Kei Fujiwara the combat effectiveness of their department.

Fujiwara Kei's face turned red and white.

Kei Fujiwara suffered a lot from 996 in the first half of his life... I can't say 996 anymore. Friends who have experience working in major Chinese TV stations should know that TV stations and production companies are places where people are used like animals. Not to mention 996, 007 is a common occurrence.

The reason why Fujiwara Kei came to this world is actually related to overwork.

So when I saw this group of people's looks of color but no color, I was afraid that some of them would travel to a different world like myself, and they were in the office. So they hurriedly asked these people to pack up and go home the next day, took two days off urgently, and urged the personnel department to quickly expand manpower.

At night, the building where Shuibo Production is located is still brightly lit, and in the port area, there are especially many media practitioners. When cars with people from the media industry pass by downstairs, the people in the car always point to the building where Shuibo Production is located. Click a few words.

It seems to be talking about the company's recent terrible business capabilities and commercial achievements.

Less than half a year after Wang Qi was replaced, this small production company was about to rise, but the momentum of becoming a large production company was already visible to the naked eye.
