Obviously, Huang Sibo and Zhu Xiaoce knew what they wanted to film. The focus of this documentary is not to exaggerate the glamorous side of these professional players, but more to focus on their daily lives, so that everyone can see them. Tough side.
"The photo was very good."
Pei Qian said this from the bottom of his heart.
He has also watched many good e-sports player documentaries, and this film shot by Zhu Xiaoce is of a very good type, both in terms of content and technique.
Huang Sibo smiled helplessly: "I am quite satisfied myself."
"But... I'm afraid we won't be able to recover the cost."
"We We have searched several video websites, but none of them can provide us with enough income. If we just participate in the ordinary incentive plan, even if this movie has 3 million views, we can only earn a few thousand yuan, which is a drop in the bucket.”
< p>Pei Qian nodded.As expected, the difficulty of monetizing documentaries is not at the same level as short videos.
Short videos have a wide range of materials, can be adapted to the needs of users, and can be continuously produced. For video websites, signing up for this type of column can bring real traffic to the website.
But documentaries are completely different.
Huang Sibo and the others used very high-end photography equipment and traveled back and forth between Jingzhou, Magic City, and Li Zhengwei’s hometown. Pei Qian also asked them to arrange food and accommodation according to Tengda’s business trip standards. Naturally, Spend money like water.
Similar documentaries are generally produced by the government and are used to promote games or events. You can make money back no matter how much money you spend.
But Huang Sibo and the others are doing this purely for semi-public welfare purposes, and it is normal that they cannot recover the cost.
Huang Sibo knew that this time Lu Mingliang led the development of new versions, and the DLCs of several games were all great successes. In the position of chief planner, it can be said that his achievements have surpassed his own.
Feihuang Studio has failed to make any progress this time, and its face is somewhat disgraceful in this kind of dinner party.
Pei Qian smiled.
"Is that why you feel uncomfortable?"
Huang Sibo was stunned: "Mr. Pei..."
Pei Qian raised his glass, shook it casually, and his tone changed. De calmly: "Didn't I tell you a long time ago?"
"Don't worry about temporary gains and losses, and don't care too much about money."
"When the short video first started Isn’t it also about using love to generate electricity? You didn’t starve to death even if you refused low-end food. In the end, you found a way to get the best of both worlds.”
“In my opinion, the point is not whether you can make money at all. , but it’s about whether you are doing something meaningful.”
“You are planning to make a documentary, aren’t you already prepared to lose money from the beginning?”
“Qiu Rende? Ren, why bother?"
Huang Sibo felt warm in his heart: "Mr. Pei, thank you..."
TwoI can't help but feel that if these words were spoken by others, they might appear false.
But when it came out of Mr. Pei’s mouth, it seemed so sincere!
Maybe this is the difference between Mr. Pei and other bosses. He really has an extraordinary broad mind and a far-sighted vision!
Pei Qian smiled and said: "Don't doubt yourself."
"What about using love to generate electricity? As long as this documentary can attract enough attention and resonate with the players, That means Feihuang Studio is on the right track!”
“It doesn’t matter if you don’t have enough money for the next film.”
Pei Qian! I was simply overjoyed.
This time filming the documentary, Huang Sibo and Zhu Xiaoce probably spent all the money Feihuang Studio had earned before, and there was not much left.
Pei Qian can just use this as an excuse to give them another sum of money and let them continue to spend it!
Of course, that will have to happen next cycle.
"Mr. Pei, it's not just that we have no funds for filming." Zhu Xiaoce sighed softly, "Actually, we put in our own savings and found that it was still not enough. Now we still owe our employees one month's salary. Not sent..."
"Okay!" Pei Qian blurted out.
Zhu Xiaoce was stunned: "?"
Pei Qian coughed twice: "You are doing a good job."
"This shows that the employees and you We work together!”
“In this difficult situation, no employee left, which shows that Feihuang Studio is a mature team that can stand the test of time!”
< p>"Don't pay in advance yourself. Go directly to Assistant Xin and make up the difference to the last cent.""No, just making up the difference to the last cent is not enough. Arrears The nature of the salary issue is very bad, and the interest must be paid. We must not let our brothers who sincerely support us feel cold!"
Huang Sibo was stunned: "Mr. Pei, isn't this inappropriate? I've never heard of it? I need to pay interest..."
Pei Qian waved his hand, indicating that he didn't need to say any more.
"Huang Sibo."
"I have no control over what movies you make and how you struggle."
"But I will never allow any influence on the company The image issue has arisen!"
"We must not let the employees who share hardships with Tengda feel cold, understand?"
Mr. Pei said it righteously.
Huang Sibo was moved to tears.
This is the warmth of home!
No matter what kind of setbacks you suffer outside, returning to Tengda is like coming home. You never have to worry, because you have Tengda and President Pei as your backing!
Seeing Mr. Pei's indifferent appearance, Huang Sibo and Zhu Xiaoce's psychological pressure was much reduced.
Pei Qian asked: "Are you planning to make a documentary for your next project?"
Huang Sibo shook his head: "We haven't thought about this yet."
"Let's wait until this documentary is posted online and see the response before we decide."< /p>
“However, I probably won’t continue to shoot this subject, not because it doesn’t make money, but because many of the things I want to express have already been filmed.”
“Maybe I will continue to shoot. Maybe there will be a new field."
Pei Qian nodded: "Well, feel free to give it a try. If you don't have money, just ask."
After chatting for a while, Pei Qian suddenly said. Think of something.
"By the way, how is Chen Lei now?"
Although he has been sent to the Magic City, Pei Qian still feels a little uneasy.
Chen Lei is a man of real ability. Pei Qian was afraid that he would cause trouble, so he asked casually.
"He, I don't know much about it. I solved the problem of food and accommodation for him as you requested. However, we were very busy filming, and he was also running around in the city, so we didn't have much communication."
“We originally wanted him to sing the ending song of the documentary, but we ran out of budget and couldn’t find good lyrics and music, so we didn’t mention it to him.”
Huang Sibo has a problem He said without a hitch.
Pei Qian's heart skipped a beat and quickly returned to normal.
Scared me!
Fortunately, Huang Sibo didn’t mention the ending song to Chen Lei. If he had actually sung it, maybe something would really happen!
Although this documentary does not make money, considering the subject matter and the care taken in the filming, the number of views will definitely not be low!
What if the song Chen Lei sings becomes popular all over the Internet for no apparent reason, and is discovered by a talent scout, which in turn makes Feihuang Studio popular...
The consequences will be disastrous. .
Fortunately, none of this happened.
Of course, Pei Qian does not dislike Chen Lei, but mainly hopes that he will wait a little longer and not become popular again in this cycle, and not to implicate himself.
You can just be angry silently, but don’t take me along with you!
"What now?" Pei Qian asked.
Huang Sibo thought for a while: "You should still be looking for opportunities in Magic City. If Mr. Pei wants to know, I can call and ask."
Pei Qian waved his hand: "No, no, no, I'll just ask casually."
As long as Chen Lei can't affect the settlement this time, everything will be fine.
Zhu Xiaoce on the side couldn't help but sigh.
Mr. Pei really cares about every employee!
He also heard a little bit about Chen Lei.
Chen Lei is a resident singer at Moyu Internet Cafe, and it is said that he has created good benefits for the Internet cafe.
If it were another boss, he would definitely squeeze Chen Lei to death, treat him as a hen that lays golden eggs, and never let him go.
But Mr. Pei was just the opposite. He did not let Moyu Internet Cafe constrain Chen Lei’s dream. Instead, hePay him to come to Magic City and let him look for opportunities on a bigger stage!
It can be said that this is an act of no benefit to Mr. Pei and is a completely altruistic act.
Even on this occasion, Mr. Pei did not forget to care about Chen Lei who was far away in the Magic City. What kind of spirit is this!
Mr. Pei is always so heart-warming.
