Chapter 157
After those who accepted the offer left, most of the contractors didn’t show any enthusiasm about their work. All day, they idled away their ti and then went ho.
Enraged at their working attitude, Kyungsu shouted,”Just quit imdiately if you don’t want to work. You’ll get paid for your work as of today. You get paid for your work, okay? Sha on you.”
Only then did they began to get down to work, but whenever there was a chance, they fiddled around doing nothing.
Of course, not all of them did that. There were two female contractors who just graduated from college and worked hard with smiles on their faces all the ti.
It seed that Hyunwoo could read their minds, given their working attitude. Naly, they seed to be determined that they would do their best until the last day of their contract.
Sanggyu had his eye on one of them as his successor. She had an excellent feel for animation script, so she had the potential to beat Sanggyu with further training.
Hyunwoo also watched them with interest.
I think I have to hire them full ti. As long as Ani & Funny is operating normally, let hold you to the end.
Thanks to the remaining staff, the music video was finally finished. It was only five minutes long, but they spent more ti and energy on it than on the ten-minute Tuti & Angelica.
Friday evening ca at last, the final day of employnt to the contractors.
“Thanks so much to you all for your hard work. I put so more money in the envelopes,” said Hyunwoo.
“Oh, you didn’t have to,” said the contractors, feeling a bit sorry.
Kyungsu and Sanggyu felt upset about those who idled away their ti.
“Dirty bastards!” shouted Kyungsu after they left the office.
“Don’t say that, brother. They didn’t co here for the sake of my wellbeing. Anybody would have made the sa decision if they received better offers.”
“Oh, I’m not talking about the team managers. I am talking about BNB. Obviously, they have decided to go after us.”
Co to think of that, Hyunwoo felt Kyungsu was right.
Anyway, their decision to leave was not that bad to Hyunwoo. In fact, he was agonizing over how to resolve the snowballing deficits after his animation failed to get selected by the Talent Broadcasting. He had to spend almost 500 million won to pay the staff’s salaries.
In a way, BNB’s decision to scout them saved Hyunwoo lots of money.
“What shall we do? I don’t know what to do from now on,” said Kyungsu, with a perplexed look on his face.
“Well, we just move on as we used to do. Let bygones be bygones, and start anew. I think we have to pay more attention to uploading the series on the website of Story cca,” said Hyunwoo.
And he pulled out a note from his pocket and gave it to Kyungsu.
Kyungsu received the note and looked at it.
They were the two female contractors who were recognized for their hard work and excellent capabilities. Sanggyu had an eye on one of them.
“I’m going to hire them as full-ti employees,” said Hyunwoo.
Kyungsu’s face brightened because he wanted to welco them with open arms.
“Please call them soti tomorrow. If they are interested, please tell them to co to the office on Sunday. From now on, we’re going to work with a small group of elites,” said Hyunwoo in a confident voice.
“Got it. Let notify them tomorrow. By the way, I guess you had better hire one more specializing in drawing. Right now, our staff are rather disproportionately placed in the area of planning.”
Nodding his head, Hyunwoo said, “I’ve felt the sa way.”
“Do you have anyone in mind?”
“Yea, I know one. I think we can hire him on a contract basis. We don’t have to spend too much money on simple drawing.”
“Well, just contact one only. I am thinking of outsourcing the in-betweening job to Vietnam after we are done with the keyfras.”
“Really? Do you know anyone there?”
Hyunwoo was thinking of that beautiful Vietnase girl Yu Zung, a college student he t before. She told him her father was a mid-level manager related to drawing.
“Yes, I have soone in mind.”
On Sunday morning, Hyunwoo held a staff eting.
Until last Friday, there were almost 30 staff mbers in the office, but as most of them left, the office looked suddenly empty. Even though Jungah, Jinhon and Angela participated in the eting, the office looked empty.
Hyunwoo felt he needed to change the heavy atmosphere first.
“Hey, everybody. Cheer up! This company will never collapse. Now is the beginning.”
Clapping his hands, Hyunwoo tried to boost their morale.
“Let repeat this. Ani & Funny will not easily collapse. We’re financially more stable than you think. And we have a stake in Story cca. Our standing in Story cca is going up and up every day. We have great potential without turning to the Talent Broadcasting.”
Kyungsu seconded, “I agree. As of today the number of visits to our story is over 300,000 per episode. It’s an explosive uptrend. If we switch it to paid subscription, we can avoid deficits. We can expect huge profits.”
Hyunwoo continued, “Though it is hard to make profits as much as we want, the current status is much more than we initially expected. And I’m going to hire a drawing specialist.”
Was it because of Hyunwoo’s encouragent? It seed the staff beca more enlivened and cheerful with hope for the company’s future. All of them were nodding their heads, tight-lipped.
Jungah raised her hand cautiously at that mont.
“Just go ahead and tell what you want to say,” said Hyunwoo.
“As a matter of fact, I know a senior friend of mine who specializes in drawing. Would you want to see him?”
Hyunwoo showed interest, but she said in a sowhat hesitant tone, “Well, he is not that excellent in drawing pictures, but he draws very quickly, at least three tis as fast as anybody in the field.”
Hyunwoo opened his eyes wide to hear that.
In fact, it was better for Ani & Funny to minimize the spending with a bit lower quality rather than paying a lot to maintain the best quality. And then when there ca a golden opportunity like the special animation contest of the Talent Broadcasting, he would spend all the financial resources on that.
“Sounds good. Can you interview him, Manager Kyungsu? Let attend, too,” said Hyunwoo.
“Got it.”
“Okay, everybody. Let’s cheer up!” shouted Hyunwoo.
Suddenly, Hyunwoo ca to turn to Jinhon and Angela who were staring at him.
At that mont, Hyunwoo thought of the music video of ‘Duckling Fly.’ Today, he would release the video to the market.
Raising his voice, Hyunwoo emphasized,
“As you know, the music video of ‘Duckling Fly’ has been completed. The owner of Real Film put the finishing touches on it, but let’s have a final review for the last ti today. If there is no particular problem, let’s upload it on Youtube right away. Jihoon, you have the USB right?”
“Yes, let play it.”
“Okay, let’s watch it, everybody.”
Obviously, it was a very exciting music video. The more they watched it, the more exciting it was.
“Wow, this must be a smash hit! I think I’m going to be your fan, Jinhon and Angela.”
“Is it so exciting?”
“Yea, it looks like it is a professional music video. I feel it’s going to hit gold sooner or later.”
Hyunwoo felt the sa way. Though it failed to get the attention of the Talent Broadcasting, it might hit the jackpot on Youtube.
“Great! Let’s upload it,” shouted Hyunwoo strongly.
Hyunwoo thought if it could at least draw one million views, it would be a big success.
On the other hand, he also thought about Jinyoung Paek, a forr music producer with a good reputation in the field. If he introduced Jinhon to Jinyoung, Hyunwoo was confident that Jinhon’s musical talent would grow rapidly.
That’s why Hyunwoo had a great expectation of the release of the music video on Youtube.
If this music video of Jinhon’s gained popularity, and Jinyoung beca interested in it, he would certainly contact Hyunwoo.
I don’t want anything. I wish only Jinhon will be noticed by Jinyoung, Hyunwoo prayed.
