May 21st.
Pei Qian checked the report sent by Ye Zhizhou and found that Yangyang Games was still in a steady state of losses with no improvement at all.
In the report, Ye Zhizhou introduced in detail the number of active players and the increase in payment rates of the game. Apparently, he reported these to Mr. Pei as a performance success.
Of course, all these achievements were accomplished under the guidance of Mr. Pei.
Pei Qian did not pay attention to these at all, but looked directly at the total recharge column.
Well, there is still no improvement!
Pei Qian knew this already and replied as usual: "That's right, keep it up."
Ye Zhizhou continued to work full of energy.
Pei Qian is quite satisfied with the current status of Yangyang Game. Anyway, it doesn’t matter whether the reputation is good or bad. As long as Pei Qian keeps an eye on it every day and the recharge amount of this game cannot be increased, then everything will be easy.
Ye Zhizhou thought that everything was under President Pei's control.
Of course this is indeed the case, but the things that Mr. Pei masters are completely different from the things that Ye Zhizhou thinks Mr. Pei has mastered.
"Tuk-tuk-tuk."
There was a knock on the door.
Pei Qian looked up and saw that Huang Sibo was here.
"Huh? A rare guest."
We haven't seen each other for a long time, and most of Pei Qian's resentment towards Huang Sibo has faded.
Actually, if you think about it carefully, Feihuang Studio didn’t do anything very sorry for you!
Although he made nearly 2 million, according to Pei Qian’s sharing method, only about 400,000 was actually distributed to Tengda, not to mention that director Zhu Xiaoce also gave Pei Qian a sum of money. The generous salary also provided Pei Qian with a good excuse to buy home appliances.
So Pei Qian is no longer so angry.
Huang Sibo was carrying a bag of fruit: "Stop by and say goodbye to Mr. Pei."
"Oh? Say goodbye?" Pei Qian was a little confused, "You want to Where are you going?"
Huang Sibo smiled: "Isn't it confirmed before that Feihuang Studio is going to make a documentary, and director Zhu Xiaoce and I have to go to the Magic City to do some filming. The filming is all taking place there, and it may take until next month. "So, come and have a look before I leave."
Go. Magic City?
Pei Qian nodded: "Well, the Demon City is a good place."
He knew well that the expense of going to the Demon City was not small!
Even excluding the post-editing staff, there are still five or six people in Feihuang Studio. For these people to go to Shanghai, the round-trip train tickets, accommodation fees, etc. are not cheap.
Pei Qian did not provide follow-up funds to Feihuang Studio. Their funding for this filming all came from the profits from "Mr. Pei's Daily Life". It was only about one million yuan, and there was still a part. The money is to be used to update photographic equipment.
You can use a SLR or a vertical screen to shoot a short video like "Mr. Pei's Daily Life". It doesn't matter if you make do with it; but for documentaries, you must use serious equipment to shoot, otherwise it will look very weird. Unprofessional.
Thinking of this, Pei Qian was no longer so repelled, but rather became a little interested.
Although he was mentally prepared that Huang Sibo and Zhu Xiaoce's new projects would probably make money, Pei Qian still had to ask.
After all, small profits are also profits, and big profits are also profits. There is a big difference between them.
If you make a small profit, you can use other projects to make up for it; if you make a big profit, Mr. Pei will be gone.
"Well, remember to be careful on the road." Pei Qian pretended to be casual and asked, "Why are you filming a documentary and why you went to the devil's capital?"
Huang Sibo was a little uncomfortable. He smiled coquettishly: "Mr. Pei, I'm telling you the truth, don't be offended. The subject matter we shot this time will probably cost us nothing."
Huh?
Lost all your money?
Mr. Pei sat upright instantly.
If you talk to me about this, then I won’t be sleepy!
"Come, drink tea." Pei Qian immediately poured a cup of tea and handed it to Huang Sibo, and the treatment changed instantly.
Huang Sibo was not aware of the change in Mr. Pei's attitude. He sipped tea and briefly explained the recent work arrangements of Feihuang Studio.
"Mr. Pei, Director Zhu Xiaoce and I were deeply moved by your words and decided to step out of the comfort zone of short videos and do something truly meaningful."
"Later, we also thought about many directions, but we always felt that it was not that interesting."
"There are some themes that we are good at doing, and some themes that we think can make money, but they are not that It was so urgent that we couldn’t do it without doing it.”
“Later, we finally found a subject that we felt we had to do, which was a documentary about e-sports players.”
Pei! Qian became even more interested: "Documentary about e-sports players?"
Huang Sibo really didn't lie to him. With this subject, there is a high chance that he will lose all his money!
What year is this? 2010!
Today’s e-sports players still sleep on curbs, drink tap water and eat instant noodles.
How can it be like ten years later when all the red-wine young Ferrari models will have annual salaries of tens of millions.
The hot money of capital has not yet entered, and games are still regarded as a scourge in society. For those who play games, whether you play professionally or just for entertainment and relaxation, there is no difference at all in the eyes of most people. They are all described in four words, that is "not doing their job properly".
Nowadays, it is possible to make documentaries for e-sports players, and you can find suitable materials, but after filming, how do you monetize it?
"Mr. Pei's Daily Life" can make money because the website Airly Island happened to be looking for some high-quality video content, so it signed a special sharing agreement.discussion.
Short videos can be continuously updated, continue to attract traffic to the website, and are broadcast exclusively on the entire network. The IP and reputation accumulated in three seasons are all areas that can be used to negotiate prices with video websites.
But documentaries are different.
First, not many people pay attention.
Second, it is impossible to continuously update and attract traffic to the website. Naturally, it is impossible to sign a solo broadcast or sharing agreement with the website. At most, we can adopt the most basic incentive plan, with a reward of 20 to 30 yuan for 10,000 broadcasts. That kind of thing.
Third, there is no way to insert ads and no way to match the meal.
Documentaries are very rigorous, and they are meaningful because they are true. You can't be interviewing players here and suddenly an advertisement is inserted in the middle of the interview: "If you want to win, you'll go crazy sitting there", right?
It can be said that most documentaries are not profitable, except for a few.
For example, "The Tip of the Tongue".
When Pei Qian first heard that Huang Sibo and the others were going to make a documentary, he was really worried that they were going to make "The Tip of the Tongue", but now it is confirmed that it is not the case.
It makes sense when you think about it. Zhu Xiaoce is indeed very talented, but he is not a time traveler.
If you make one hit model, that means you have strength;
If you make many hit models in a row, that means you are cheating.
Pei Qian felt more relieved after hearing this.
Let’s not talk about the specifics of how to shoot this documentary. As long as the investment is large and the return is small, it is a good project.
Pei Qian's expression instantly became much warmer: "Losing all your money? That's not a big deal. Feihuang Studio has me to guide you, so feel free to do whatever you want!"
"Money is nothing, we can't live so vulgarly!"
Huang Sibo drank tea with a smile on his face: "Sure enough, I knew Mr. Pei would definitely support us!"
"Don't worry, Mr. Pei, we are also very aware of the risks of this project this time, so we plan to use a green leather car to go to Magic City, and save as much as possible on accommodation and meals..."
Before Huang Sibo finished speaking, Pei Qian's face fell instantly.
"What do you mean?"
Huang Sibo was stunned. It was rare for him to see Mr. Pei get angry, and he stammered: "No, it's not interesting. I just want to control costs... ”
Pei Qian looked like he couldn’t make steel: “Control costs? Huang Sibo, find out your identity!”
Huang Sibo was startled, and the teacup in his hand shook. For a moment.
It’s rare to see Mr. Pei get so angry. What did I say wrong?
Pei Qian said seriously: "Feihuang Studio is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tenda. You, as well as all the employees of Feihuang Studio, are all employees of Tenda! You let them sit on the Green Skin Even if they are in good health and don’t have any food problems, they will be tired from traveling all the way and not be able to eat well or sleep well. Work efficiency, the video shooting is not good, the work is not completed smoothly, goodThe documentary went badly, who should be held responsible? "
Huang Sibo felt his hands trembling a little: "Forget it...forget it for me. "
"Oh no no no no..." Huang Sibo found himself being involved in Mr. Pei, "Mr. Pei, don't worry, I'm just saving costs, I'm not a black-hearted foreman, the employees' health Health can definitely be guaranteed..."
Pei Qian looked like he hated iron and said: "Tengda's face has been completely humiliated by you! How do I teach by words and deeds? "
Huang Sibo was speechless.
Pei Qian said seriously: "Listen to me, fly back and forth, time is money, do you understand? When you get there, food and accommodation will be provided according to normal business travel standards. If you don't know the specific standards, ask Assistant Xin. ”
“When you arrive in the Magic City, you don’t have to rush. If you can’t finish the shoot, postpone it. Just shoot slowly. As long as it can be shot before June 18th, that’s fine. ”
“If the extension is nothing more than spending more on accommodation, how much can we spend?” If you don't have enough money, ask me for it. What a big deal. ”
“Remember, behind Feihuang Studio is Tengda. If you have any difficulties, just ask! "
Huang Sibo nodded quickly: "Yes, Mr. Pei, I will listen to you." "
Pei Qian's face softened slightly, he nodded, and said seriously: "You are also an old employee of Tengda. Don't let me worry about such trivial matters. ”
“Are you planning to take a green car to the Magic City? We at Tengda don’t have such embarrassing employees as you!
Huang Sibo's face turned slightly red, and he felt very ashamed: "Yes, what Mr. Pei said is that Feihuang Studio will definitely follow Tengda's footsteps in the future, and everything will be according to your standards." "
Pei Qian then nodded with satisfaction: "Well, that's right. Remember, if you have any difficulties, you must report them to me as soon as possible! ”
After repeated warnings, Pei Qian was satisfied.
This guy Huang Sibo, for a project that can lose a lot of money, you are still here to control costs for me!
After repeated orders, someone is still so stingy, and he is an old employee of Tengda!
This makes Mr. Pei feel very tired.
