behind the traffic are real people. They are tourists from scenic spots, staff from scenic spots and hotel staff nearby ... During the busiest National Day holiday of Universal Studios Beijing, they * * * together formed the "back" of Universal Studios Beijing-this is a completely different human reality from the "fairy tale paradise".

The staff with a monthly salary of 3,511 won't get off work until 12: 11 p.m.

"Ha, there are fewer people at last!" At 9: 31 in the evening, Zhang Fen (pseudonym) could not hide his excitement and sighed with his colleagues around him, "I'm exhausted".

During the National Day, Universal Studios Beijing extended its operating hours from 9 pm to 11 pm. Correspondingly, the catering in the park has also extended the business hours.

Zhang Fen works in the most popular "Three Brooms" restaurant in the park, which is located in the Harry Potter Park, which is also the hottest park in Universal Studios. During the National Day, the queue time of a single project once exceeded two hours.

As the "hottest restaurant" in the "hottest park", when restaurants in other parks are not full, there is always a long queue at the door of the "Three Brooms" restaurant. In order to facilitate tourists to queue up, the restaurant even set up more than three layers of isolation fences at the door. It can be said that from lunch time to dinner time, the "Three Brooms" restaurant is always lively and prosperous. For many tourists, coming to this restaurant to enjoy an expensive "English delicious meal" is also a part of Universal Studios' "punching in".

"The children are asleep when I go home. My home is not far away. When I come here to work, I will be closer to home and my job is guaranteed. " Zhang Fen said that he was one of the first people who came to work in Universal Studios. He also worked in a restaurant before. "Private restaurants are easier than here, but there is no guarantee, and the boss is not very good."

Zhang Fen feels "tired, but not bad" in this job at Universal Studios, because she feels that as a mother of two children, it is good to be able to "work near home, and Universal Studios is good to tell."

What makes her most dissatisfied is probably the salary that doesn't match the workload. At the beginning of the opening of Universal Studios Beijing, a salary standard for employees of Universal Resort Beijing was circulated on the Internet: in Universal Studios Beijing, the salary of the most common front-line operators is 4,511 yuan/month before tax. After deducting five insurances and one gold, I got about 3511 yuan. In addition, Universal Studios will provide back to the dormitory. If it is necessary to live in the staff dormitory, the accommodation fee in 611 yuan will be deducted from the salary, which is actually less than 3,111 yuan per month.

previously, it was reported by the media that the front-line employees of Universal Studios generally got only about 3,511 yuan. These people are restaurant waiters, entertainment escorts, activity guides, regional operators, retail sales assistants, etc., which are the 51 people that tourists often meet in the park. If you need to live in the staff dormitory, the accommodation fee in 611 yuan will be deducted automatically, and it will reach 2,911 yuan per month.

Zhang Fen lives at home, so she doesn't have to spend money on accommodation, but the money she gets also makes her feel too little. "In the past, she could earn as much as 5,111 yuan a month by working in a restaurant with a attendance award.". However, she also admitted that in the hotel before, "I didn't pay five insurances, and there was no guarantee."

"Of course not, it's too expensive." Zhang Fen said categorically, "I have lost my salary for half a month after eating a meal."

Hotel front desk: Is it fun inside?

The price of a hotel near Universal Studios

Because parking in the park costs 151 yuan, many people simply live nearby, which is convenient for entering the park the next day.

During the chat, MengMeng said that she is a native of Tongzhou. She is 21 years old and has worked as a receptionist in this hotel for 1 years. "It's okay not to be tired at ordinary times, but I have to be on duty at night, and I can't sleep well on my stomach. I have dark circles under my eyes. "

For work, I often meet unreasonable guests and think about changing jobs, but because my home is in Tongzhou, my parents won't let me stay too far away. When I opened the Universal Studios in Beijing, I once wanted to apply, but later I heard that "I was very tired at Universal Studios and my salary was still very low, so I didn't go." MengMeng can get about 4,211 yuan a month now, but it doesn't cost money to eat. The hotel has Sashido, which can also save money, but girls also like to buy things. MengMeng thinks this salary is "not enough".

Since the official opening of Universal Studios on September 21th, MengMeng has been receiving visitors to Universal Studios. From their different descriptions, we can basically piece together the appearance of Universal Studios: the Harry Potter area is fun, things are expensive, the "Decepticon" roller coaster is particularly exciting, and a project needs to be queued for a long time.

Tourists:

A single person spends 2311 yuan a day

The magic wand and robe add up to 1198 yuan

Not only that, but the placement of various advertisements in the park also makes people very "jump" and makes the whole park more "commercial". For example, in the land of kung fu pandas, hidden ape counseling advertisements can be seen during the queuing process; In "Transformers: Battle for allspark", Mengniu was named and implanted, and "China Life" was printed on the Decepticon roller coaster. The implantation of various brands' voices, pictures and titles is simply "pervasive".

Behind such high consumption is a high economic account that this movie theme park bears. According to the Pacific Securities Research Report, Universal Studios Beijing consists of three phases, with an investment of 51 billion yuan in the first phase and a total investment plan of 71 billion yuan to 111 billion yuan in the third phase. Universal Studios Beijing consists of two theme parks and a water park, and its total scale will surpass Orlando theme park and become the largest global theme park in the world. There have been media reports that "theme parks are super-heavy investments, and domestic large-scale theme parks invest more than 1 billion yuan, and generally the overall return cycle is at least 11 years. Every year, the number of tourists must be continuously guaranteed, and the unit price of customers can be done. This account can be counted. "

toys around are expensive

However, according to the current flow of people in Universal Studios, this "economic account" is obviously very optimistic: before the National Day holiday, according to the daily flow of 51,111 people, the daily ticket income of Universal Studios was close to 32 million yuan from September 21 to October 1, and it was as high as 37.4 million yuan from October 2 to October 6. According to 611 yuan/Zhang's calculation, Universal Studios' monthly ticket revenue can be close to 1 billion yuan.
