He knows very well that "Never Expected" and "Zhu Yiyi's Boring Life" are the best in short videos, and they are very successful!
And now Zhu Xiaoce's "The Daily Life of Mr. Pei", which is going to be filmed, is very consistent with these two in terms of core, and it will probably become popular!
what to do?
"System, I want to withdraw my investment! I won't invest the one million in Huang Sibo, okay?"
A line of words is displayed on the system light screen.
[Withdrawal requires legitimate reasons, otherwise it will be judged as a violation.]
Pei Qian: "..."
Justifiable reason?
No!
You can’t say that you withdrew your investment because you thought the project might be profitable, right?
Other reasons?
Is Huang Sibo enriching his own pocket? Doesn't he work seriously? I don't like Zhu Xiaoce and think he is too ugly? No reason, he just doesn't want to vote?
This is not even a legitimate reason!
Pei Qian thought hard.
No way!
He can't convince the system!
Had to think of other ways.
"Calm down. There should be other ways besides divestment."
"I won't take the photo anymore, okay?"
"I won't be the leading actor anymore! They will look for whomever they like!"
"At least this project can make less money..."
Pei Qian decided to turn down this job because of his busy schedule!
When Zhu Xiaoce and the others find other actors, it will be difficult to perform this feeling. Even if they can be found, they can delay the release of the video some time!
If the lead actor was changed, maybe it wouldn't be popular anymore?
Having made up his mind, Pei Qian was ready to refuse.
Although he was very reluctant to part with the 30,000 yuan salary, Pei Qian felt that one should not lose a lot for a small amount!
As long as a loss is reached during settlement, a loss of six to seven hundred thousand is not a problem. There is no need to worry about this small profit of thirty thousand yuan.
He was going to call Huang Sibo and refuse the job.
But as soon as I picked up the phone, I suddenly realized another problem.
The contract has been signed!
The contract states that the liquidated damages are three times the film remuneration!
Ninety thousand yuan!
Pei Qian's hands trembled and he realized something was wrong.
"System, liquidated damages, can I use system funds?"
[The contract is a contract signed by the host personally. The income belongs entirely to the host personally, and the liquidated damages must be paid by the host himself. 】
"Crack."
Pei Qian's cell phone fell on the table.
Finished!
Where the hell did I get 90,000 yuan to pay liquidated damages?
We can’t withdraw our investment, and we can’t stop performing!
Pei Qian's heart dropped.
There is no choice! I can only take pictures!
After being stunned for five minutes, Pei Qian finally slowly came back to his senses.
"Calm down and think on the bright side, short videos shouldn't make much money..."
"Well, that's all I can think of..."
Pei Qian felt a little dazed.
Now I can only console myself that things are not that bad.
Even if a low-cost video becomes popular and receives some casual advertisements, it will be difficult to make back the investment of millions.
Even if you get your capital back, you probably won't make much money.
By then, thanks to the game projects and physical store projects, we should still be able to ensure that we lose money during settlement!
"Huh, luckily I made three preparations."
"It almost rolled over again!"
"I'll go talk to Lu Mingliang again and ask him to increase the intensity of his narration in the game and taunt the players more!"
…
…
the next day.
Zhu Xiaoce is here again.
"Mr. Pei! Yesterday's film is almost finished. We are still considering when to post it online."
"Because we need to negotiate cooperation with video websites to see if they can give us a better location to promote. This may cost money and we have to negotiate the price."
"But don't worry, I have a senior sister who works at Fanshu.com, so she should be able to get good promotion resources!"
"Our work will not be delayed. We will shoot another episode today and be busy before the new year. This way, we can release it in a planned way during the Chinese New Year. It will be more productive and it will be easier to gain attention."
"Mr. Pei, I feel like you don't look good. Is it because you work too hard?"
Pei Qian's face did turn a little dark.
Of course it’s not because the work is too hard!
Now that there are no classes in school, he spends his day rolling around on the sofa, browsing the web and playing games in his office. There are other people doing the work, so it's not hard work.
He is tired!
"It's okay, just shoot."
Pei Qian felt weak.
He couldn't withdraw his capital or break the contract. He had to finish filming these thirty episodes honestly.
Of course, Pei Qian did not give up.
He was still trying to think of other ways.
Soon, everyone was in their places.
The theme of the second episode is "Nine consecutive awards given to hard-working employees".
Seeing this title, Pei Qian's heart became even colder.
Sure enough, the last script was not an accident!
This director Zhu Xiaoce is really something and very talented!
If this episode goes as expected, millions of views will be nothing.
If possible, Pei Qian would like to kill him right now!
What to do now?
Pei Qian felt very scared.
According to this update speed, one video will be released in two days, and three seasons later, how can this be done???
No, it must be saved!
Suddenly, Pei Qian had a flash of inspiration and thought of a good idea.
He wants to be passive and slow down at work!
He wants to use his shit acting skills to ruin the reputation of this short video!
The moment this genius idea appeared, those little freshmen with no acting skills seemed to be possessed by their souls at this moment!
Pei Qian tried hard to recall those wonderful acting skills.
For example, those who stare, those who pout, those who are paralyzed, those who laugh more than they cry, those who cheer themselves up, what else can I do...
Well, use your acting skills to lower the quality of this season’s short videos!
Although the profit from this video may be unstoppable, it would be nice to make less money...
Pei Qian worked hard to mobilize his facial features, preparing to disappoint director Zhu Xiaoce!
After all, he is not a professional actor, so Zhu Xiaoce has nothing to criticize for his rubbish acting!
Plan passes!
Zhu Xiaoce set up his SLR and officially started shooting.
Pei Qian was ready.
He has to wait for a critical moment and give the most crappy acting skills ever!
Zhu Xiaoce still knew nothing about this and was still directing the filming as he did yesterday.
"Okay, Mr. Pei will be expressionless."
"Another expressionless face."
"With a little smile, you can have an expressionless face without a smile."
"A deadpan expression with a hint of confusion."
"Pat him on the shoulder with a deadpan expression."
"Hand over a business card with an expressionless face."
"Emotionally..."
There was no lag once and the photo was taken at the speed of light.
Pei Qian is still waiting to show off his meaty acting skills, but today's scene has been filmed.
Zhu Xiaoce packed his equipment and gave Pei Qian a thumbs up.
"Mr. Pei's acting skills are so superb! He really deserves to be in his true colors!"
"Compared to yesterday's performance, there has been great progress!"
"It's really beyond my expectation that you can express such an expression that is calm on the surface but full of emotion on the inside so well!"
"Every pore seems to have something to play with!"
"Then I'll leave first, Mr. Pei. Tomorrow we will shoot the last episode of the year!"
"With Mr. Pei's superb acting skills, the video will definitely become a hit!"
Zhu Xiaoce left happily, not forgetting to thank Pei Qian profusely before leaving.
Pei Qian was left alone, silently thinking about life.
