Losing Money to Be a Tycoon

On June 21st, the documentary film "Breaking Cocoons into Butterflies" shot by Feihuang Studio was officially released on the Eli Island website!

As a documentary, "Breaking Cocoon into a Butterfly" did not include any advertising, nor did it receive any special sharing agreement for the website.

If it is estimated according to the conventional incentive plan of Ellie Island, even if the number of broadcasts exceeds one million, the revenue is only a few thousand dollars.

Therefore, the two people Huang Sibo and Zhu Xiaoce almost broke this thought, and it was as if power was being generated with love.

Because Feihuang Studio has previously released a series of short videos of "Pei's Everyday" and already has a large number of fans, this documentary immediately attracted widespread attention once it was released!

In the video, Li Zhengwei confronts the camera and tells his own journey of so many years.

"After my dad left, I opened the door and ran to Modu alone, and started my career."

"Recalling now, I don't regret this choice. I feel that I was born for e-sports. If I go out to work, marry and have children, I will probably spend my whole life in confession."

"I'm not like the second generation who were born with a golden spoon. I have bad luck and I was born into a poor family. But from another perspective, I have good luck. I chose a career I like. And made a name for themselves. "

"But I don't recommend children to go my way."

"After I become famous in the profession, many people will ask me questions about the profession."

"My answers are the same:"

"If you have really decided, then you will not come to ask me this question. You will, like me at the beginning, go straight through the door, and in the future will always be convinced that this is my dream, and I will It struggles for life. "

"If you need my advice to make up your mind, my advice is to figure out one thing first: Are you afraid of learning and want to escape from it; or do you really understand the price of choosing to become a professional player? "

...

Soon, a lot of player comments appeared in the comment area of ​​the video.

"sofa!"

"I also said, why did Feihuang Studio not shoot" Pei's Daily Life ", it turned out to be a big move!"

"This documentary looks very big, big production!"

"It turns out to be my favorite professional player's documentary and must support it!"

"I didn't expect the life of professional players to be so hard ... It was too bad to knock out the door to play a professional. Fortunately, after the results, parents recognized it."

"Everything Li Brother is really sincere."

"This documentary is really meaningful. I have a younger brother with poor academic performance. He skips class every day to play games online and is still thinking about going to work. I think Li is right. He does n’t really love it. I haven't considered whether I have this talent, but just to escape. "

"Yeah, this documentary is not just advocating the spirit of blood, struggle, and e-sports. These have been filmed. For young people, it is misleading. The beauty of this documentary is that it also reflects The hardships and sadness of this industry, especially let us know that there are so many professional players who have not yet played, 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 Cocoon into a Butterfly" soon entered the game's hot list, and then went to the home page of Ellie Island, the popularity was very high!

...

June 23.

In the fish net cafe, Pei Qian turned off the documentary video on the mobile phone, took a sip of the coffee in front of him, and let go of his lingering heart temporarily.

"Huh ... the style of painting is finally normal."

"It's really not making money, it's not easy!"

"Breaking the Cocoon into a Butterfly" has been released for three days. In these three days, Pei Qian was almost trembling.

Fearful that Huang Sibo suddenly called without warning and said, "Mr. Pei, the documentary has been earned again!"

Fortunately, a similar story did not happen.

Pei Qian repeatedly confirmed that although "Breaking Cocoon into a Butterfly" had achieved nearly 2 million views in three days, it was the top three in the overall station rankings, but it did not bring much revenue.

If calculated according to the incentive plan, the final benefit of this video is only a few thousand dollars, which is a sloppy salary.

This fully meets Pei Qian's previous estimates.

"Nice, and gained valuable experience about losses."

"It turns out that making this kind of non-profitable documentary is really a good choice."

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

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

That is to make a film that is good or not!

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

The system has many restrictions and requirements, in order to prevent Pei Qian from maliciously making losses. For example, the system stipulates that the system must not be crudely made, recharged, and the game must be profitable.

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

But now Pei Qian realizes that in the system's judgment rules, "quality" obviously means not only making money, but also word of mouth!

A documentary like "Breaking Cocoon into a Butterfly" has a very low probability of recovering costs, but the system has not stopped it.

Including Pei Qian's fish net cafe, the possibility of loss is very high, and the system has not stopped it.

This shows that "word of mouth" is also a very important indicator in the judgment of the system. As long as enough and good word of mouth can be obtained, the system will also recognize this product and will not consider it to be Pei Qian's intentional loss.

Pei Qian also vaguely felt this before, but did not dig deeper, mainly because the profit methods of games and movies are different.

In the field of games, building a good reputation often means high sales. Under the premise that the system must add a profit point, the possibility of losing money in high word-of-mouth games is extremely small.

Although there are some games in history that are good or bad, they are much smaller than movies.

But the video is different. No matter how good the word of mouth is, the higher the playback volume, it is likely that it still cannot be realized, such as this documentary.

"So, as long as I continue to ask Feihuang Studio to make these positive and negative films, I can make a stable loss!"

Pei Qian instantly found the future development direction of Feihuang Studio ~ www.ltnovel.com ~ See you next time, Huang Sibo and Zhu Xiaoce, think of a way to flicker them, and let them go on the way of the documentary. What a great loss!

It ’s just that Huang Sibo will not shoot e-sports the next time, and they have to discuss what to shoot.

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

In other words, Pei Qian can not do much now, and can only spend money while praying that things will not change.

Pei Qian looked at the system funds and is currently at a loss.

"It's almost done. The question now is how to maintain this loss."
