Chapter 156: What a shame for Tengda!
May 21.
Pei Qian checked the report sent by Ye Zhizhou, and the game was still in a state of steady loss, and there was no improvement at all.
In the report, Ye Zhizhou introduced in detail the number of active players of the game and the increase in the payment rate, obviously taking these as performance successes to report to Mr. Pei.
Of course, all these achievements have been completed under the guidance of Mr. Pei.
Pei Qian didn't pay attention to these at all, but looked straight at the total recharge column.
Well, it's still not improving!
Pei Qian had already known this, and replied as usual: "Yes, keep it up." ”
Ye Zhizhou continued to work full of blood.
Pei Qian is quite satisfied with the current state of the game, anyway, it doesn't matter whether the reputation is good or bad, as long as Pei Qian stares at it every day, the recharge amount of this game can't go up, then everything is easy to say.
Ye Zhizhou also thought that everything was under Mr. Pei's control.
Of course, this is indeed the case, but the things that Mr. Pei mastered and what Ye Zhizhou thought Mr. Pei mastered were completely different things.
"Tuk-tuk."
There was a knock at the door.
Pei Qian looked up and saw that it was Huang Sibo coming.
"Huh? Rare guest. ”
I haven't seen him for a long time, and Pei Qian's little resentment towards Huang Sibo has mostly faded.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, Feihuang Studio didn't do anything to be sorry for itself!
Although he earned nearly two million, according to Pei Qian's sharing method, only about 400,000 were really distributed to Tengda, not to mention that Director Zhu Xiaoce also gave Pei Qian a large amount of salary, and also provided a good excuse for Pei Qian to buy electrical appliances.
So Pei Qian was not so angry for a long time.
Huang Sibo carried a bag of fruits: "Come by and have a look, and by the way, say goodbye to Mr. Pei." ”
"Oh? Goodbye? Pei Qian was a little confused, "Where are you going?" ”
Huang Sibo smiled: "Didn't it be determined before, Feihuang Studio is going to make a documentary." Director Zhu Xiaoce and I, as well as some field work, have to go to the magic capital, and the entire filming work is carried out there, and it may be filmed until next month. ”
"So, before I go, I'll come and have a look and tell you."
Going to the magic capital?
Pei Qian nodded: "Well, the magic capital is a good place." ”
He knew in his heart that the cost of going to the magic capital was not small!
Even if you remove the post-editing personnel, there are still five or six people in Feihuang Studio, and these people go to the magic capital, round-trip train tickets, accommodation fees, etc., which are not cheap.
Pei Qian did not provide follow-up funds to Feihuang Studio, and all their shooting funds this time came from the profits of "Mr. Pei's Daily", which was only one million, and some of the money was used to update the photographic equipment.
To shoot a short video like "Mr. Pei's Daily", you can use a single-lens reflex or a vertical screen, so it doesn't matter if you make do with it; But to shoot a documentary, you must use serious equipment to shoot, otherwise it will look very unprofessional.
Thinking of this, Pei Qian was not so repulsed, but became a little interested.
Although he was mentally prepared that Huang Sibo and Zhu Xiaoce's new projects would most likely make money, Pei Qian still had to ask.
After all, a small profit is also a profit, and a big profit is also a profit, and there is still a big difference between this.
If you make a small profit, you can make up for it with other projects; If you make a lot of money, then Mr. Pei is gone.
"Well, remember to be careful on the road." Pei Qian pretended to be casual and asked, "What kind of documentary did you make, and you went to the magic capital?" ”
Huang Sibo smiled a little embarrassedly: "Mr. Pei, I'll be honest with you, don't be surprised." The subject matter we filmed this time is likely to be lost. ”
Well?
Lost in blood?
Mr. Pei sat up straight instantly.
If you talk to me about this, then I won't be sleepy!
"Come, tea." Pei Qian immediately poured a cup of tea and handed it to Huang Sibo, and the treatment was different in an instant.
Huang Sibo didn't realize the change in Mr. Pei's attitude, sipped tea, and briefly described 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 thought about a lot of directions, but it always felt a little bit less interesting."
"There are some themes that we are good at, and some themes that we think can make money, but they are not the kind that are particularly urgent and can't be done."
"Later, we finally found a subject that we felt we had to do, which was a documentary for esports players!"
Pei Qian was more interested: "Documentaries of e-sports players? ”
Huang Sibo really didn't lie to him, this theme is really likely to be lost!
What year is this? In 2010!
Today's e-sports players still sleep on the road, drink tap water and eat instant noodles.
It's like ten years later, a red wine tender model Ferrari, with an annual salary of tens of millions.
The hot money of capital has not yet entered, and games are still regarded as flood beasts in society, and those who play games, whether you are playing professionally or simply entertaining and relaxing, in the eyes of most people, there is no difference at all, and they are all described in four words, that is, "not doing business".
Now to shoot documentaries for e-sports players, you can shoot them, you can find suitable materials, but how to monetize them?
"Mr. Pei's Daily" can make money, and that's because the website of Alley Island happens to be looking for some high-quality video content, so it signed a special sharing agreement.
Short videos can be continuously updated, continue to attract traffic to the website, and broadcast exclusively on the whole network, and the IP and word-of-mouth accumulated in the three seasons are all places where you can negotiate with video websites.
But documentaries are different.
First, not many people are paying attention.
Second, it is impossible to continue to update and continue to attract traffic to the website, and it is naturally impossible to sign an exclusive broadcast or sharing agreement with the website, at most the most basic incentive plan, the kind of reward of twenty or thirty yuan for 10,000 broadcasts.
Third, there is no way to implant ads, and there is no way to make a meal.
Documentaries are very rigorous, and because they are real, they make sense. You can't interview the contestants here, and suddenly an advertisement is inserted in the middle of the interview: "If you want to win, sit crazy", right?
It can be said that most documentaries are not profitable, except for a few.
For example, "Tip of the Tongue".
When Pei Qian first heard that Huang Sibo was going to make a documentary, he was really worried that they were going to make "A Bite of the Tongue", but now it is confirmed, no.
It's reasonable to think about it, Zhu Xiaoce is indeed very talented, but he is not a traverser.
To make a hit, that is strength;
has made a lot of popular models in a row, which is open.
When Pei Qian heard this, he was much more relieved.
Let's not talk about 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 face instantly warmed up a lot: "No return? That's not a problem. Feihuang Studio has me to give you a back-up, let go of your hands and feet and toss casually! ”
"What is money, we can't live so vulgarly!"
Huang Sibo drank tea, and his face was full of smiles: "Sure enough, I knew that Mr. Pei would definitely support us!" ”
"Mr. Pei, don't worry, this time we are also very aware of the risks of this project, so we plan to make a green car to go to the magic capital, accommodation and food conditions, and save as much as possible......
Before Huang Sibo finished speaking, Pei Qian's face collapsed instantly.
"What do you mean?"
Huang Sibo was stunned, he rarely saw Mr. Pei get angry, and stammered: "No, it's not interesting, it's just to control the cost......"
Pei Qian looked like he hated iron and steel: "Control costs? Sibo Huang, figure out your identity! ”
Huang Sibo was startled, and the teacup in his hand shook.
It's rare to see Mr. Pei so angry, which sentence did I say wrong?
Pei Qian said solemnly: "Feihuang Studio is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tengda, you, and all the employees of Feihuang Studio, are Tengda's employees!" You let them ride in the green car, and you also save on accommodation and meals, what if something goes wrong with the food? ”
"Even if they are in good health and don't have any food problems, then they are tired all the way, they can't eat and sleep well, which affects work efficiency, the video is not done well, the work is not completed smoothly, and the good documentary is smashed, who is responsible for this?"
Huang Sibo felt that his hands trembled a little: "Count ...... Count me in. ”
"Oh no, no, no, no......" Huang Sibo found himself being bypassed by Mr. Pei, "Mr. Pei, don't worry, I'm just saving costs, and I'm not a black-hearted foreman, the health of employees must be guaranteed......"
Pei Qian looked like he hated iron but not steel: "Tengda's face has been lost by you!" How do I teach by example? ”
Huang Sibo was speechless.
Pei Qian said solemnly: "Listen to me, take a plane back and forth, time is money, understand?" When I got there, the accommodation was all done at the level of normal travel, and I didn't know what the specific standard was, so I asked Assistant Xin. ”
"When you get to the magic capital, you don't have to rush and panic, if you can't finish filming, you can postpone it, shoot slowly, as long as it can be filmed before June 18th, that's fine."
"The postponement is nothing more than spending more accommodation fees, so how much can it cost? If you don't have enough money, ask me for something. ”
"Remember, behind Feihuang Studio is Tengda, what is the difficulty, just open your mouth!"
Huang Sibo hurriedly nodded: "Yes, Mr. Pei, I listen to you." ”
Pei Qian's face softened slightly, nodded, and said earnestly: "You are also an old employee of Tengda, don't let me worry about this kind of trivial matter." ”
"Are you planning to take a green car to the magic capital? We don't have such a shameful employee as you! ”
Huang Sibo's face turned a little red, and he was very ashamed in his heart: "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 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 advice, Pei Qian was satisfied.
Huang Sibo, this guy, is a good project that can lose a lot of money, and he is still here to control the cost for me!
After repeated orders, there are still people who are so picky, and they are still Tengda's old employees!
This made Mr. Pei feel very tired.
