Chapter 173 President Pei is always so heartwarming
Obviously, Huang Sibo and Zhu Xiaoce knew very well what they were going to shoot. The focus of this documentary was not to exaggerate the glamorous side of these professional players, but to focus more on their daily lives, allowing everyone to see their difficult side.
“It was very good.”
Pei Qian's words come from the heart.
He has also watched many good documentaries of e-sports players, and the film made by Zhu Xiaoce is a very excellent type in terms of content and skills.
Huang Sibo smiled helplessly: "I am quite satisfied with it myself."
"But... I'm afraid I can't recover the cost."
"We found several video websites, but they were unable to provide us with enough profits. If we just participated in an ordinary incentive plan, even if this movie had three million views, we could only earn a few thousand yuan back, which was a drop in the bucket."
Pei Qian nodded.
Sure enough, the difficulty of monetizing documentaries is not on the same level as short videos.
The range of short videos is quite wide, and they can be used as a perfect match and can continue to produce. For video websites, signing such a column can bring real traffic to the website.
But documentaries are completely different.
Huang Sibo and his team used very high-end photography equipment and ran back and forth in the three places of Jingzhou, Magic City, and Li Zhengwei's hometown. Pei Qian also asked them to arrange the food and accommodation standards for Tengda business trips, so they naturally spent money like water.
Similar documentaries are usually made by the official and are used for promotion and promotion of games or events. You can earn back any amount of money you burn.
But Huang Sibo and his friends did this purely for semi-charity purposes, so it is normal for them to not recover the cost.
Huang Sibo knew that this time, Lu Mingliang led the development of a new version, and the DLCs of several games were all successful, and it can be said that their achievements have surpassed him.
Feihuang Studio has not made any achievements this time, and on such a dinner party, she has a little bit of a gloomy face.
Pei Qian smiled.
"You guys are feeling uncomfortable because of this?"
Huang Sibo was stunned: "Mr. Pei..."
Pei Qian raised his wine glass and shook it casually: "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."
"Didn't short videos use love to generate electricity when they first started? They refused to make low-end meals, and finally found the best of both worlds to monetize."
"The point is not whether you can make money, but whether you do meaningful things."
"You are planning to make a documentary. Haven't you prepared for losses at the beginning?"
"Why do you have to seek benevolence?"
Huang Sibo felt warm in his heart: "Mr. Pei, thank you..."
The two of them couldn't help but sigh that if these words were said from others, they might seem fake.
But when Mr. Pei said it, it seemed so sincere!
Maybe this is the difference between Mr. Pei and other bosses. He really has a broad mind that is beyond ordinary people and a broad vision with a far-sighted vision!
Pei Qian smiled and said, "Don't doubt yourself."
"So what if you use love to generate electricity? Only this documentary can attract enough attention and resonate with players, which means Feihuang Studio is on the right path!"
"Doesn't there be no funds for the next film? It doesn't matter. Just talk about how much you lack!"
Pei Qian was simply overjoyed.
This time, Huang Sibo and Zhu Xiaoce spent all the money Feihuang Studio had earned before, and there was not much left.
Pei Qian can just give them another sum of money on this ground and let them continue to spend it!
Of course, that's going to be the next cycle.
"Mr. Pei, it's not just that there is no fund for shooting." Zhu Xiaoce sighed softly, "Actually, we found that we were not enough when we put our deposits in. We still owe employees a month's salary...
"Okay!" Pei Qian blurted out.
Zhu Xiaoce was stunned: "?"
Pei Qian coughed lightly: "You guys are doing well."
"This shows that the employees are united in heart and virtue with you!"
"In this dilemma, no employee left, which shows that Feihuang Studio is already a mature team that can stand the test!"
"You go directly to Assistant Xin, how much money is missing, and you can make up for it all without a single point."
"No, the nature of arrears of wages is very bad, and you have to make up for interest. You must not let your brothers who truly support us feel upset!"
Huang Sibo was stunned: "Mr. Pei, isn't this right?"
Pei Qian waved his hand and signaled that he didn't need to say anything more.
"Huang Sibo."
"I don't care about what movies you make and how to fight."
"But I will never allow anything that affects the company's image!"
"For employees who share the hardships with Tengda, they must not be disappointed, do you understand?"
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 returning home. Never worry, because Tengda and Mr. Pei are backing!
Seeing Mr. Pei’s indifferent appearance, Huang Sibo and Zhu Xiaoce also had a much less psychological pressure.
Pei Qian asked: "Will you still plan to do a documentary for the next project?"
Huang Sibo shook his head: "We haven't thought about this yet."
"Let's decide after the documentary is posted online this time and see the response."
"However, most of the time, I won't continue to shoot this subject, not because I don't make money, but because a lot of things I want to reflect have been shot."
"It may be possible that new areas may continue to be replaced."
Pei Qian nodded: "Well, don't worry, go and try it. Just speak if you have no money."
After chatting for a few more words, Pei Qian suddenly remembered something.
"By the way, how is Chen Lei now?"
Although he had already sent him to the Demon City, Pei Qian still felt a little worried.
Chen Lei is a real person, and Pei Qian is afraid that he will make trouble.
"He, I don't know much. I solved the problem of food and accommodation for him as you ask. However, we are very busy with shooting and he often runs out, so there is no much communication."
"We wanted him to sing the ending song of the documentary, but we didn't have enough budget and couldn't find good lyrics and music, so we didn't mention it to him."
Huang Sibo said casually.
Pei Qian's heart beat a little and quickly returned to normal.
I was shocked!
What if Chen Lei sings an ending song for the film, what if it becomes popular?
After all, if this documentary is not profitable or not, the number of views will definitely not be low.
If the song Chen Lei sang inexplicably became popular on the Internet, it was discovered by a star scout, and then it became popular in Feihuang Studio...
The consequences are unimaginable.
Fortunately, none of this happened.
"What about now?" Pei Qian asked.
Huang Sibo thought for a while: "It should be still looking for opportunities in the Magic City. If Mr. Pei wants to know, I can call and ask."
Pei Qian waved his hand: "No, no, I just asked casually."
Zhu Xiaoce, who was standing beside him, couldn't help but sigh.
Mr. Pei really doesn’t forget to care about every employee!
He also heard a little about Chen Lei's emotions.
Chen Lei is a resident singer of Moyu Internet Cafe, and it is said that he has created good benefits for Internet Cafes.
If it were other bosses, they would definitely squeeze Chen Lei to death and treat him as a hen who can lay golden eggs. It would never be possible to let him go.
But Mr. Pei was just the opposite. He did not let Moyu Internet Casinos tie Chen Lei's dreams, but instead paid him to the Magic City to find opportunities on a larger stage!
It can be said that this is an act that is of no benefit to Mr. Pei, completely altruistic behavior.
Moreover, Mr. Pei did not forget to care about Chen Lei, who was far away in the Demon City. What kind of spirit is this!
Chapter completed!
