Losing Money to Be a Tycoon

On June 21, the documentary "Breaking the Cocoon into a Butterfly" by Flying Yellow Studios was officially released on the website of Alley Island!

As a documentary, Cocoon into Butterfly did not implant any advertisements, nor did it get a special split protocol for any website.

If estimated according to Ely's regular incentive program, even if the air volume breaks a million, the revenue is only a few thousand dollars, or a cup of water truck salary.

So, Huang Sibao and Zhu Xiaozhi almost broke the idea, and thought that they were using love to generate electricity.

Since General Pei's Daily series of short videos has already been released by Feihuang Studios, there are already a large number of fans, so this documentary immediately attracts widespread attention!

In the video, Li Zhengwei faced the lens and turned his mind on the road for so many years.

“When my father left, I kicked the door open and went to Devil's Town alone, starting my career. ”

“Now in retrospect, I do not regret this choice. I think I was born for e-sports, and if I went out to work on schedule and got married and had kids, I'm afraid my whole life would be spent in regret. ”

“I'm not like those two generations who were born with a spoon of gold, and I'm unlucky and born into a poor family. But from a different perspective, my luck was good, and I chose my favorite career and made fame. ”

“But I don't recommend that the kids go my way. ”

“After I become famous for my career, a lot of people will ask me questions about my career. ”

“My answers are the same:”

“If you had really decided, then you wouldn't have asked me that question. You will kick the door out, just like I did, and you will always be convinced that this is my dream, and I will fight for it all my life. ”

“If you need my advice to make up your mind, my advice is, first of all, to figure out one thing: are you afraid of learning and trying to escape from it, or do you really understand the price of choosing to be a professional? ”

……

Quickly, a large number of player comments appeared in the comment area of the video.

“The couch! ”

“I'm also saying, why didn't you shoot" General Bae's Daily "at the Feihuang Studio? It was a big trick! ”

“This documentary looks huge. Big production! ”

“It's my favorite professional documentary and must be supported! ”

“I didn't expect the life of a professional player to be so hard... kicking out the door to fight for a career is too bad, but after the grades, my parents agreed. ”

“Brother Li's words are very sincere. ”

“This documentary is really meaningful, I have a brother, bad grades, skipping class every day to play games online, and yelling about going to work. I think Brother Li is right, he doesn't really love it, he doesn't consider whether he has this talent or not, but just to escape. ”

“Yeah, this documentary isn't just about bragging about blood, struggle, the spirit of e-sport, it's about being shot bad, it's about being misguided for young people. The valuable thing about this documentary is that it also reflects the hard work and sourness of the industry, especially when it shows us that there are so many unprofessional players that can be said to be very objective. ”

“I didn't expect Flying Yellow Studios to hone such a relevant content, support! ”

Player reviews below the video are trendy!

Breaking Cocoon into Butterfly quickly hit the hot list in the game section, then on the home page of Ali Island, the heat stayed high!

……

……

23 June.

Touching the fishnet curry, Pei Qian turned off the documentary video on his phone, sipped the coffee in front of him and let go for a while.

“Phew… the painting is finally normal once. ”

“It's really not easy not to make money! ”

"Breaking the Cocoon into a Butterfly" has been published for three days. In these three days, Pei Huan has been fearful.

Fearing that Huang Sibao would suddenly call without a sign and say, "President Pei, the documentary is making money again! ”

Good thing something like that didn't happen.

Pei Huan has repeatedly confirmed that "Breaking Cocoon into Butterflies", although it has achieved nearly 2 million plays in three days, and the top three players in the overall rankings of the male station, has not really brought much profit.

And if you look at the incentive plan, the final revenue from this video is just a few thousand dollars, a cup of water.

This is perfectly in line with Pei Qian's previous estimates.

“Not bad, again, valuable experience with losses. ”

“Making such a non-profit documentary has proven to be a good option. ”

“I feel like I can continue to invest in Flying Yellow Studios. ”

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

That's a good, quiet movie!

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

The system has many limitation requirements to prevent Pei Huan from causing losses in bad faith, such as the system stipulation that it cannot be roughly made, that the game must have a profit point, and so on.

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

But now Pei Huan realizes that in the rules of judgment of the system, “quality” obviously means not only making money, but also including reputation!

Documentary films like Cocoon Butterfly are already very unlikely to recover costs, but the system has not stopped them.

Including Pei Qian touching the fish net cafe, the probability of loss is high, and the system is not blocked.

This suggests that "reputation” is also a very important indicator in the determination of the system. As long as enough reputation is obtained, the system will also recognize this product, and it will not be considered as an intentional loss by Pei Huan.

Pei Qian felt this in vain before, but did not dig deeper, mainly because of the different ways in which games and television are profitable.

In the gaming arena, building a good reputation often means high sales. The likelihood of losing money on high-reputation games is minimal, provided that the system imposes a profit point.

There are also games that have historically been called "no seats", but there are far fewer games than movies.

But videos are different, with better reputations and higher playback volumes, which are likely to remain unrealized, such as this documentary.

“So all I have to do is keep Flying Yellow Studios filming these films that don't call for seats, and I can steadily make losses! ”

Bae Qian instantly found the future direction of Feihuang Studio.

The next time I see Huang Sibo and Zhu Xiaozhi, find a way to ignore them and let them go on the documentary road without returning, I can give them an extra mouthful of stable losses. How nice!

However, Huang Sibao and his team won't be filming the theme of the competition next time. We'll have to discuss what we're filming.

There is one last week left before checkout and you cannot have any more unpublished products.

In other words, there is not much Pei Qian can do right now, he can only spend money suddenly while praying that things will not change.

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

“It is almost time to do so, and the question now is how to maintain this state of loss. ”
