On June 21st, the documentary "Breaking the Cocoon into a Butterfly" filmed by Feihuang Studio was officially released on the Elle Island website!

As a documentary, "Breaking the Cocoon into a Butterfly" did not implant any ads, nor did it get any special sharing agreements from any websites.

If it is estimated according to Elle's regular incentive plan, even if the number of broadcasts exceeds one million, the income is only a few thousand yuan, which can be described as a drop in the bucket.

Therefore, Huang Sibo and Zhu Xiaoce almost broke off this thought, and they regarded it as generating electricity with love.

Since Feihuang Studio has previously released a series of short videos of "Mr. Pei's Daily", it already has a large number of fans, so once this documentary was released, it immediately attracted widespread attention!

In the video, Li Zhengwei faced the camera and told his mental journey for so many years.

"After my dad left, I kicked the door open and ran to the magic capital alone to start my career."

"Looking back now, I don't regret that choice. I feel that I was born for e-sports, and if I go out to work, get married, and have children as usual, I'm afraid my whole life will be spent in regret. ”

"I'm not like those second generations who were born with a golden spoon in their mouths, I was unlucky to be born into a poor family. But on the other hand, I was lucky that I chose what I loved and made a name for myself. ”

"But I don't recommend kids to follow my path."

"After I became famous professionally, a lot of people would ask me questions about playing professionally."

My answer is the same: "

"If you really had decided, then you wouldn't have come and asked me that question. You will just kick the door away like I did at the beginning, and I will always believe that this is my dream, and I will fight for it for the rest of my life. ”

"If you need my advice to make up your mind, then my advice is to first find out one thing: whether you are afraid of learning and want to escape from it; Or do you really understand the price of choosing to become a pro? ”

……

Soon, a large number of player comments appeared in the comment section of the video.

"Sofa!"

"I also said, why didn't Feihuang Studio shoot "Mr. Pei's Daily", it turned out to be a big move!"

"This documentary looks very high, big production!"

"It turned out to be my favorite documentary about a professional player, and I have to support it!"

"I didn't expect the life of a professional player to be so hard...... It's too miserable to kick the door out and play professionally, but fortunately, my parents recognized it after the results. ”

"Brother Li's every sentence is very sincere."

"This documentary is really meaningful, I have a younger brother who has poor academic performance, skips classes every day to play games online, and is still clamoring to play professionally. I think what Brother Li said is very right, he doesn't really love it, and he doesn't think about whether he has this talent or not, but just to escape. ”

"Yes, this documentary is not just advocating the spirit of blood, struggle, and e-sports, which has been filmed badly, and for young people, this is misleading. The value of this documentary is that it also reflects the hardships and sadness of this industry, especially let us know that there are still so many professional players who have not played, which can be said to be very objective. ”

"I didn't expect Feihuang Studio to polish such a realistic content, support!"

The player reviews below the video are simply rave reviews!

"Breaking the Cocoon into a Butterfly" quickly entered the popularity list of the game section, and then it was on the homepage of Elle Island, and the popularity remained high!

……

……

June 23rd.

In the fishing Internet café, Pei Qian turned off the documentary video on his mobile phone, took a sip of coffee in front of him, and temporarily let go of the heart that had been hanging.

"Whew...... The style of painting is finally normal. ”

"It's really not easy to make no money!"

"Breaking the Cocoon into a Butterfly" has been released for three days, and in these three days, Pei Qian is simply trembling.

For fear that Huang Sibo would suddenly make a phone call without warning and say: "Mr. Pei, the documentary has earned again!" ”

Fortunately, a similar plot did not happen.

Pei Qian repeatedly confirmed that although "Breaking the Cocoon into a Butterfly" achieved nearly 2 million views in three days, ranking among the top three on the site's list, it did not bring any benefits.

If calculated according to the incentive plan, the final income brought by this video is only a few thousand yuan, which is a drop in the bucket.

This is completely in line with Pei Qian's previous estimate.

"Yes, I've gained valuable experience about losses."

"It turns out that making this kind of documentary that doesn't make money is really a good choice."

"I feel like I can continue to invest money in Feihuang Studio."

Pei Qian suddenly found that after touching the fish Internet café, he seemed to have found a good way to lose money.

That's to make a film that is not popular!

After so many failures, Pei Qian has realized a problem, that is, the loss is not as simple as he imagined.

The system has many restrictions, which are to prevent Pei Qian from maliciously creating losses, such as the system stipulates that it cannot be shoddy and shoddy, and the games must have profit points, etc.

In other words, the products launched by Pei Qian must be of high quality and cannot be deliberately smashed.

But now Pei Qian realizes one thing: in the system's judgment rules, "high quality" obviously not only refers to making money, but also includes word of mouth!

The probability of a documentary like "Breaking the Cocoon into a Butterfly" is already very low, but the system has not stopped it.

Including Pei Qian's opening of the fishing Internet café, the possibility of losing money is very high, and the system has not stopped it.

This shows that in the judgment of the system, "word of mouth" is also a very important indicator, as long as it can get enough and good enough word of mouth, the system will also recognize this product, and will not think that this is Pei Qian deliberately losing money.

Pei Qian also vaguely felt this before, but he didn't dig deeper, mainly because games and film and television have different ways of making money.

In the gaming field, building a good reputation often means high sales. Under the premise that the system mandates that profit points must be added, it is extremely unlikely that a high-reputation game will lose money.

Although there are games that have been popular in history, the number of them is much smaller than that of movies.

But the video is different, no matter how good the reputation is and how high the number of views is, it is likely that it will still not be able to be monetized, such as this documentary.

"So, as long as I continue to let Feihuang Studio shoot these popular films, I can make a stable loss!"

Pei Qian instantly found the future development direction of Feihuang Studio.

Next time I see Huang Sibo and Zhu Xiaoce, find a way to fool them, let them never return on the road of the documentary, and they can have one more stable loss, how good!

It's just that Huang Sibo and they shouldn't shoot e-sports themes next time, and they have to discuss what they want to shoot.

There is still one week left until checkout, and there can be no more unreleased products.

In other words, Pei Qian can't do much now, he can only spend money while suddenly praying that things won't change.

Pei Qian looked at the system funds, which were currently in a state of loss.

"It's almost all that needs to be done, and now the question is how to keep this state of loss."
