"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 eating, they began to make appointments for interviews in the simple studio they had just completed.
A team that focuses on short videos requires about six positions.
Director, content planning, actors, camera, editor, operation, this is the most basic structure. But one person can also hold several positions, or even six positions shoulder to shoulder.
Many big internet celebrities started 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 operations can also be one person.
Adding an actor and three people to 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 them with surprise.
Pretty reliable.
When asking questions during the interview, the two of them took turns. After Wu Wenyue finished asking, 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 films are 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 color is the main body of the picture? How to match makeup, clothing, and props?
How do you shoot without makeup, costumes, and props? How do you make up for it on the set if you forget to bring it?"
"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?
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 questions 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 your daily time online on Douyin is continuous,
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, so Li Peifeng just scrolled through the interviewer'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 cell phone and kept tracing it for more than five minutes. 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 are five interviewers in total, three women and two men.
The two applied directors also have the ability to operate and content plan. They talked a lot about the video style and content suitable for Wu Wenyue's shooting, and also came up with a general plan for future development. It was just that they were nervous when they talked, and they didn't speak well.
Fluent, but the mind is still organized and the ideas 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 generally speaking, these five people have similar overall conditions. None of them have particularly impressive resumes or successful people who have worked with millions of Internet celebrities, but they have more or less real contact with this industry.
To say they are novices would definitely be belittling them, but to say they are veterans would be an understatement.
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 salary requirements. 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 of them discussed who to hire, but neither could make a decision.
Finally, Li Peifeng smiled and shook his head: "Let's accept them all. Set a one-month internship period. During the internship period, the basic salary will be 1,500 yuan. The salary after becoming a full-time employee will be as you said. The basic salary will be 3,000 yuan plus commission and creative bonus. One month has passed.
You retain people based on their performance."
The salary is not high, even very low in the capital, because these people are students and have classes every week. They only come to work on weekends and evenings after class. And since working hours are flexible, it is reasonable for the salary to shrink.
.
Li Peifeng also asked them their opinions on salary, and they had no objections!
With a monthly salary of 3,000 yuan, I can't recruit migrant workers, but I can definitely recruit one of the 985,211 key college students who haven't graduated yet.
"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 everything is okay, and it's just an interview, so I can't tell anything."
"That's right." Li Peifeng nodded and said, "Then we'll recruit them all. Try it out for a month. Once the internship period is over, you'll have a good idea. And this is also a training for you. We only recruit two or three employees. You
You can’t learn to manage. With five employees, five brains with different ideas, and five mouths that each have their own reasons, you can get an idea of how to manage employees.”
You won't help me?
Wu Wenyue hesitated to speak. She really wanted to ask this question, but she didn't. She knew in her heart that Li Peifeng's main job was still writing novels, and he also had studies, so in the future, he would still handle the studio by himself.
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 him and then said: "You call them to inform them that they will start work tomorrow. I will go out to buy things, such as whiteboards, computers, printers, etc. I still need these office supplies. And I also need to buy two high-pixel 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 track of it."
"Okay, I guess it won't cost much. You can get it for less than 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."
Looking at Li Peifeng's leaving figure, Wu Wenyue stopped him again. Looking at his confused expression, he couldn't help but feel a little angry: "We have agreed. If Man Ning agrees to this, you must go to my house before the Spring Festival."
Meet my parents!”
"no problem!"
Li Peifeng waved his hands without looking back, but he was thinking in his heart.
Can Xu Maning agree? Damn it if you can agree!!
…
"I'm back, come downstairs to pick me up."
At seven o'clock in the evening, Li Peifeng arrived downstairs at the studio. Because there were too many things, he called Wu Wenyue and asked her to go downstairs to help move things. Unexpectedly, Xu Maning 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.
Just put things in order, it’s already past eight o’clock in the evening, lock the door and go home.
"Man Ning, tell him about that."
After arriving home, Wu Wenyue seemed to be in a good mood. She was humming a little tune and cooking vegetables to prepare dinner. She raised her eyebrows at Li Peifeng, who was helping the cook next to her, and said, "It's just a matter of meeting the parents."
Li Peifeng felt something bad in his heart. He looked at Xu Manying who was eating meat secretly, with a strange expression on his face: "You agree?"
"I agree!"
Xu Maning twitched her fingers and nodded happily: "Go ahead. During the winter vacation, you and Yueyue can go meet your parents, 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 Maning changed her words and smiled brightly: "But you have to meet my parents first this weekend. They are also clamoring to meet my boyfriend. I have made an appointment with them. But after meeting my parents, I will make an appointment for you and me.
On the wedding date, you can go see Yueyue’s parents during the winter vacation, it won’t affect you.”
"?"
At this time, not only Li Peifeng was stunned, Wu Wenyue was also stunned: "What...what wedding date, we agreed before...Why didn't you mention this to me? Are you kidding?"
"Hey, have you been spotted?"
Xu Maning smiled half-heartedly: "But it was obviously Yueyue who made the joke first."
