Chapter 78 Job Hopping 1
It has been showing for ten days.
While other films, even the most anticipated "The Storm Riders," saw their daily box office drop from 210 million yuan on its opening day to just over 40 million yuan, "The Terror Live" experienced another rebound, though this time the decline wasn't as significant as before.
Only 130 million.
Such a magnitude already indicates that the film's potential is about to be exhausted, which is also one of the characteristics of movies. When they are first released, they spend a lot of money on publicity in the early stage, which makes the box office relatively high in the first few days. Except for a few movies, most movies will show a decline after seven or eight days of release.
Some can be cut in half.
Even if some movies drop by 20%, they're still considered successful.
"The Terror Live" has maintained a huge upward trend since its release, thanks to its overwhelming positive word-of-mouth. After ten days of release, "The Terror Live" has accumulated a total box office of 450 million.
Three major domestic box office prediction agencies have made predictions for this film.
One of the most radical companies, called Light Shadow, gave The Terror Live a figure of over a billion.
Another company, Enke, was more conservative, offering only 800 million.
Finally, there's Bank of China, which gave a figure of 750 million. This is mainly because "The Terror Live" has been released for ten days, and there's a possibility of a significant drop every day. After all, the ironclad rule in the film industry is that new films are judged on their performance over the first three days, and those three days determine their fate.
However, regardless of the circumstances, the success of "The Terror Live" is undeniable.
With a production cost of five or six million, if the final box office reaches one billion, that would be a return of about two hundred times, making it arguably the most successful example of a small investment yielding a big return in the film industry in recent years.
On August 11th, the sweltering heat unique to this summer was finally slightly dampened by a sudden downpour. At a company called Dick, Wu Han, the operations manager dressed in a black women's business suit, knocked on her boss's office door.
"Come in"
He heard his boss's voice coming from inside.
Wu Han composed herself and walked into her boss's office with a smile.
When her boss looked at her, she handed him the payslip that the finance department had just given her: "Mr. Ma, have you forgotten? A few months ago, I asked you for a 2,000 yuan raise. You said you would consider it, and when I asked you again, you said it would be reflected on the payslip, but it wasn't there last month or this month."
"Since you've come looking for me, I'll be clear with you."
Ma Tian, who was in his forties, picked up the water glass on his desk, took a couple of sips, and then said seriously, "Wu Han, I didn't forget; I just deliberately didn't refill it for you."
"horse……"
"Let me finish speaking first."
Ma Tian put down his crossed legs and tapped his fingers lightly on the desk: "Indeed, you achieved the goal of increasing users from one million to five million, but Wu Han... do you think this is all your achievement alone?"
Before the key employee who had worked at his company for four or five years could speak, Ma Tian gave the answer directly: "No, this situation is due to the hard work of everyone on your team. It's the result of everyone's joint efforts, yet only you have asked for a raise. Wu Han, how can you think of taking away the results of so many people's hard work!"
"But you promised."
Wu Han was amused and annoyed: "If you hadn't agreed then, I wouldn't have said anything, but you clearly said you'd give me an extra two thousand, Mr. Ma. I didn't even say how much. To meet the KPL targets you set, I haven't been getting off work until after nine o'clock at night lately, and sometimes I have to work for another hour or two after I get home..."
"Wu Han, please calm down."
Ma Tian interrupted his company's operations manager, saying, "Okay, you go ahead and get busy. Let me think about the raise some more. Don't say you're working overtime until 9 or 10 p.m. It's not like you're the only one working overtime. Besides, you need to reflect on whether it's your own fault for working so late. Why is it that a task that could be completed in five or six hours has taken more than ten hours to finish?"
"Mr. Ma"
"Go ahead and get busy! I said I'd consider it, and I definitely will."
Ma Tian waved his hand, indicating that Wu Han could leave.
Wu Han gave a wry smile, turned around and left helplessly. She realized that her boss had no intention of giving her a raise.
I just stepped out of the boss's office.
Her phone rang, and when she took it out, she was surprised to see who had sent her the message, especially since the other party had asked her to meet at a coffee shop not far from her company.
"Something wrong!?"
Wu Han replied with a message.
She did recognize this person. She had once gone to the company where the other party worked to discuss a business deal, and the person she was in contact with was a woman named Su Qing. However, when she went to the company again last year, she heard that Su Qing had already left the company.
I never expected that I would suddenly ask to meet her at this time.
"Come and we'll talk. Don't refuse; it won't be a bad thing for you."
soon.
The other party replied to the message.
After a slight hesitation, Wu Han made up an excuse to discuss business and left the company. It was raining heavily outside. After driving for about five minutes, Wu Han parked his car in front of a coffee shop where he sometimes worked while drinking coffee with his laptop.
Wu Han was sitting by the window on the first floor when she saw a figure who looked more mature than when she was working with him last year.
"haven't seen you for a long time"
Su Qing greeted him with a smile.
"haven't seen you for a long time"
After Wu Han sat down, she asked, "I heard you resigned before the end of last year. Where did you go?"
"I've been resting at home."
Su Qing took the coffee the waiter brought, took a small sip, and asked, "Are you still working at Dick's? Has your salary increased?" Seeing Wu Han shake her head dejectedly, Su Qing smiled and said, "I've told you before, your boss seems pretty stingy."
"Tell me what you want from me!"
Wu Han didn't want to talk about this.
"We invite you to join a newly established company."
Su Qing stated her purpose directly: "After joining this company, you will no longer be the supervisor of a project in the operations department, but the head of the entire operations department. Your current monthly salary is 13,000, but this company will give you 18,000, and there will be a year-end bonus of no less than 100,000. In addition, business trips will not be like at Dick Company, where you only get 300 yuan a day. The minimum standard for business trip expenses is 1,000 yuan a day. If you need to treat others to meals, the company will also fully reimburse you."
Seeing Wu Han deep in thought, Su Qing continued, "The best way to get a raise is not to wait for your boss to see your efforts and achievements, but to change jobs. When I saw you last year, you looked much better than you do now. Your dark circles are quite noticeable now. Don't suffer without earning money and ruin your health."
