Chapter 124 Inheriting the shortcomings of the game! (8/10)
Noon on the 15th.
Pei Qian was in the office, lost in thought.
At 8 o'clock last night, the third season of "Mr. Pei's Daily Life" was officially broadcast exclusively on Ellie Island.
From yesterday to now, a huge promotional page has been hanging in a prominent position at the top of the homepage of Elly Island to promote "Mr. Pei's Daily Life".
Many viewers came here because of it and rushed to send barrages. The short video of just over one minute seemed very lively. The dense barrages made many viewers who had just come from traditional video websites such as Fanshu.com see the "barrage".
The uniqueness of a new form of video interaction!
Pei Qian did not watch the premiere, but just checked the number of views of this video the next day.
It has reached more than 600,000!
From this point of view, the final number of views of the video is likely to reach around 1 million.
These may not all be valid clicks, but no matter how you calculate it, the video incentive income received from Ellie Island in this period must be around 200,000.
Moreover, with the accumulation of popularity, the playback volume of subsequent videos is likely to be higher than that of previous episodes.
Calculated this way, with 10 episodes in the entire season, the split income is likely to be more than 2.3 million.
In other words, Elly Island spent more than 2 million yuan to buy the exclusive rights to broadcast the third season of "Mr. Pei's Daily Life".
This price is not too high, and it is incomparable with some popular dramas and popular variety shows that cost tens of millions in copyright fees.
But for Pei Qian, this is worse than the worst-case scenario he expected, which is enough to make people collapse!
Probably, this is called misfortunes never come singly...
There was a knock on the door, it was Assistant Xin.
"Mr. Pei, this is the new company benefit that was agreed upon before. I will confirm it with you one last time. If there is no problem, I will issue it according to this."
Pei Qian took it and glanced at it.
The above are the new benefits that were decided about a month ago.
After the development of "Sea Fortress" was completed, Pei Qian launched a series of benefits, such as salary increases for all employees, project bonuses, shopping cards, mandatory reimbursement limits, etc.
And this time, Pei Qian also set a new welfare package: a physical examination for all employees!
I chose a relatively high-standard physical examination. In the best tertiary hospital in Jingzhou City, the cost of high-standard physical examination items is 3,200 yuan per person.
Now there are more than 50 employees at Tenda, Feihuang Studio and Moyu Internet Cafe, which adds up to 160,000!
In addition, the regular welfare policy remains the same, and the limit of the shopping card has been increased to 3,000 yuan. In addition to various other cleverly named benefits, a total of 500,000 yuan has been distributed to all employees this time.
Originally, Pei Qian planned to keep this money as a last resort to make losses.
Assuming that the system funds can be controlled at around 700,000, wouldn't it be a pleasure to spend the 500,000?
But now it's a bit embarrassing.
Because according to Pei Qian's estimation, after spending these 500,000, the system funds will still be in surplus!
Calculated according to the conversion ratio of surplus, this money is equivalent to 5,000 yuan of personal property. If it is spent, Pei Qian will get 5,000 less for himself.
Pei Qian didn't think much about it: "Just do it this way, leave the file for me to take a look at."
"Okay, Mr. Pei." Assistant Xin flipped through the contents recorded in the small book, "One more thing, a reporter Hu from the entertainment time called today and wanted to arrange an exclusive interview. This is already the third one this week.
Reporter, will you still reject it directly as before?"
Pei Qian nodded: "Yes, refuse. It's still the same two principles as before: no one should reveal my name and true identity to the outside world, and don't reveal our company's specific salary and benefits to the outside world. Please emphasize it to everyone again.
.”
"Okay, Mr. Pei." Assistant Xin turned and left.
So far, the company Tenda is still a mystery in the eyes of the gaming media and players.
Many people know that there is such a company, but they have no idea who the boss is, what the benefits are, or what the specific conditions are like in the company.
As for why Pei Qian did this...
There are two reasons.
First, if the specific amount of welfare benefits from Tenda is leaked, seeing such good benefits and such high salaries, outstanding talents from Jingzhou City will definitely rush to come in, and many people may even come from other cities.
Come here for the fame!
In the event that many outstanding talents volunteer to join at a reduced salary, Pei Qian will have to rack his brains to come up with reasons to refuse. If the reasons are unreasonable, the system will not agree and will be forced to admit some outstanding talents...
The current people can't survive the first elimination. If new people come in, wouldn't that add to the obstacles for themselves?
Secondly, Pei Qian cannot let his parents know his true identity for the time being, and he can hide it as long as he can.
Pei Qian doesn't want to be famous either. After all, there are many famous people. Once he becomes famous, many people will stare at him and many things will be inconvenient.
The system has a rule that others cannot doubt the system itself or the existence of the challenge. Pei Qian does not want to cause trouble.
Therefore, Pei Qian does not accept any media interviews.
Many media called Tenda's front desk for interviews, but were declined, and this time was no exception.
…
Pei Qian looked at the 500,000 welfare package on the table again.
"If you think about it, this is equivalent to spending 5,000 yuan out of pocket and giving 500,000 yuan in benefits to employees."
"Thinking about it this way, it's quite worth it..."
"Hey, I'm such a good boss."
In order to convert 5,000 yuan of personal property and let employees receive 500,000 yuan less in benefits, Pei Qian cannot do this.
In any case, these employees work for him sincerely. Although people like Huang Sibo and Bao Xu always try their best to interfere with his plans, these people are indeed loyal to him...
And from the employee's standpoint, they are devoting themselves wholeheartedly to the company!
But in Pei Qian's opinion, they are all doing a disservice...
"Forget it, just let it go. Salary and benefits will remain the same as before. Let's increase them according to the previous plan."
"You can't treat your brothers badly."
"There is no loss this time, just keep working hard next time..."
Pei Qian felt a touch of sadness.
Learn from the pain.
Sum up experience and draw lessons.
Find out why Game Maker is so successful!
Or, find out if there are any major shortcomings in "Game Maker" that you can inherit in the future.
It has been two weeks since this game was put on the shelves, and many players and professional game reviewers have already analyzed and studied this game on the Internet.
This time Pei Qian no longer has to ask the design team to summarize successful experiences. He only needs to read the comments on the Internet to get a rough idea of where he failed this time!
The first is the more authoritative game media:
"Game Maker is a very successful interactive narrative experience that completely subverts traditional game narrative methods."
"In this game, you will play a game producer, and your goal is to overcome obstacles and choose the most successful way to make games. Is it to become a star producer, or to go bankrupt? It all depends on your choice.
.”
"The highlight of this game is that it allows players to experience the tangled mentality and dilemma of choice to the maximum extent, and this is exactly the true inner experience of the game producers!"
"But, if that's all, then this game can only be regarded as an excellent simulation game. Compared with some traditional simulation games, except for the more beautiful graphics, it has no special advantages."
"What makes this game a masterpiece is the narration that always accompanies the player in the game. This is exactly the highlight of this game!"
"When you first play the game, you may find the narration very noisy and make you angry when you are ridiculed, but if you think about it carefully, you will find that it is the narration that makes the game interesting!"
"The narration can be seen as the greed in the heart of every producer, or the person who is pointing fingers next to him. For a content producer, the difficulty is not to find ideas and make the right choices, but to survive in the negative comments of others.
Only by always sticking to yourself and never forgetting your original intention can you achieve ultimate success!"
"In short, this is a game with rich content, profound ideas, novel and unique gameplay. It not only conveys to us the difficulties of game makers, but also reveals the real reasons for the chaos in the game industry.
I encourage all content producers to not forget their original aspirations and forge ahead!”
Total score: 9.0 points
