After sending Zhu Xiaoce away, Pei Qian felt a little relieved.
Fortunately, everyone respects Mr. Pei!
There are still very few monetization methods for short videos these days, because video websites do not yet have an incentive plan to reward them based on the number of views.
Video revenue can be roughly divided into several aspects.
One is to cooperate with advertisers and do product placement or hard advertising in videos. This is a relatively traditional method and is very common in the beauty and game areas.
Qiao Liang, who previously made a hit with "Lonely Desert Highway", mainly relied on this opportunity.
The other is to make your own peripherals, or open an official online store, and sell whatever you can.
With such a high upper limit and a low lower limit, the online store may make a profit, or it may lose money and go bankrupt at the speed of light. Professional game players who retire just after retirement usually take this path.
Of course, there are other ways to make money, but they are all relatively illusory and the average video author does not need to consider them at all.
Just like those who write online articles generally hope that fewer people will read pirated copies and that subscriptions will be higher. As for selling copyrights for millions or tens of millions...
Those are all things in a dream, and there is everything in a dream.
Pei Qian finally fooled Zhu Xiaoce into temporarily giving up on this low-end meal.
This cuts off 99% of the income source of "Mr. Pei's Daily Life"!
After all, asking a video UP owner to make a high-end customized video costs RMB 100,000. How wealthy a sponsor must be to be so unthinkable?
Isn’t it better to buy ads directly from video websites?
Thinking of this, Pei Qian felt relieved a lot.
…
Someone knocked on the door.
"Enter."
Lu Mingliang pushed the door open and entered.
"What's wrong?" Pei Qian asked.
The design draft of "Game Producer" was completed years ago, and Pei Qian has already made the decision, so it is unlikely that it will need to be changed.
Pei Qian is too lazy to take care of the art resources and specific production process. After all, he is the boss, and it would be difficult for him to understand the priorities of such execution-level matters personally.
Now "Mr. Pei's Daily Life" is the project that needs to be closely monitored and must be guarded against!
"Mr. Pei, it's about dubbing."
"For the dubbing of the narration, I have found several well-known voice actors in China and have tried to record a few segments. How about you listen to it and choose one? I am really not sure," Lu Mingliang said.
Dubbing?
Well, it seems that the dubbing aspect should really be a little more concerned about.
The entire game of "Game Maker" (all options taken together) is about 8 hours long. The narration basically runs throughout, and the total amount of text added together is 40,000 to 50,000 words.
As for dubbing, it’s basically cabbage price at the moment.
Based on fifty thousand words, the cheap dubbing costs two to three thousand, while the expensive dubbing only costs tens of thousands at most.
For the cost of the game "Game Maker", it is only a drop in the bucket.
Pei Qian certainly doesn't care about money.
What he cares about is whether this narration can persuade players to quit?
Of course, pulling a tone-deaf person from the street to do the dubbing would be enough to persuade him to quit, but this is obviously against the rules.
The only way is to find a less outstanding voice actor among the many acceptable ones.
Even if you are looking for someone among ordinary people, you must at least be able to speak clearly and fluently, and there must be no obvious problems that can be caught by the system.
Lu Mingliang has contacted many dubbing actors on the resource site, and they have all recorded demos and spoken a line from the game for Pei Qian to listen to.
Pei Qian clicked through them one by one.
The first one is the arrogant young lady.
Pei Qian didn't hesitate at all and decided to take the next one.
This is absolutely not possible! You can’t imagine how excited those otakus were when they heard this sound!
The second one was a gentle and charming female voice, with a charming tone in her voice that made people feel numb all over.
This is absolutely not possible! It is suitable for AMSR.
The third one has a unremarkable male voice.
The fourth one is a male voice with a bit of a sharp voice. The voice is very narrow and thin, and has a bit of a hoarse flavor from a cigarette voice.
Pei Qian hesitated slightly between the third and fourth.
The third one is mediocre, not outstanding.
But the feeling of ridicule may not be as good as broadcasting news, and may not have enough dissuading effect.
That’s the fourth one!
This sound can’t be said to be very nice. It even makes people feel a little awkward and uncomfortable at first. It has a slightly abrupt feeling like fingernails scratching on a blackboard. It can especially help players to play!
And, for some reason, Pei Qian always felt like beating him up after hearing it too much.
Players must feel the same way!
Since this is a game whose first priority is to insult players, the less beaten the voice is, the better!
Pei Qian agreed: "That's it, the voice is special enough."
Lu Mingliang glanced at the audio file selected by Mr. Pei and looked confused.
Pei Qian was stunned.
"how?"
"Is this person asking for a high price?"
"Still the schedule is full?"
"More money!"
Pei Qian believes that most of the problems in the world that can be solved with money are not problems!
Especially in the area of dubbing, dubbing actors do hard work, and the price is not high at all. What can they do if they are given an extra few thousand yuan?
"No, Mr. Pei, this is the dubbing sample we sent to them. We hope that we can tell these dubbing actors roughly what tone they have. I recorded this myself..."
"I threw all the audio files that were sent into this folder and forgot to distinguish them..." Lu Mingliang said, scratching the back of his head.
Pei Qian looked confused.
Looking back now, it seems that there was something wrong with the environment of the last dubbing. Although it was also in a quiet environment, obvious noise could be heard. Obviously the recording equipment was not good.
Pei Qian looked at Xiao Lu: "Are you... worthy? This voice doesn't sound like you at all!"
Lu Mingliang nodded: "Yes, I held my voice and recorded it, making myself into a psychopathic devil..."
"Mr. Pei, please don't get me wrong. I have indeed watched some European and American crime movies recently, but my personality is sound! My psychology is healthy!"
"Mr. Pei, you choose another one..."
Pei Qian looked at Xiao Lu, his eyes shining.
Okay, this is still a treasure boy!
"No, it's you! I need your original voice and this unique voice. No one else can do it but you!"
Pei Qian's attitude was firm: "I will give you every penny of the voice actor's money, and I will leave this matter to you."
"But Mr. Pei, we don't have special recording equipment..." Xiao Lu was even more confused.
Pei Qian waved his hand: "What's this thing? Isn't it enough to rent a recording studio? How much does it cost to rent a recording studio for an hour? It's only two or three hundred, right?"
"Just rent it for 300 an hour, find a higher-end one, rent it for three days, that's 72 hours, 20,000 yuan. At that time, the dubbing teacher will not be dubbing, but will be responsible for standing next to you and providing you with professional guidance!"
"If three days are not enough, then add more!"
"You can mix it as you like, rest when you are tired, and then continue after you have rested. Anyway, you must ensure the quality and take care of yourself."
"Okay, that's it. Let's ask Assistant Xin to take care of it."
Pei Qian had an expression that said, "This matter does not need to be discussed further."
Lu Mingliang scratched his hair, not knowing what to say.
Should I thank Mr. Pei for his trust, or should I say this is too much of a joke?
But seeing Mr. Pei's firm eyes, Lu Mingliang didn't dare to say anything more and could only nod and follow the instructions.
Done!
Now, the game has nothing to worry about.
Originally, the short video incident made Pei Qian feel that he was on the verge of losing his temper, but now he suddenly feels that everything is still under his control!
For "Game Producer" and Moyu Internet Cafe, the loss plan went smoothly.
Although "President Pei's Daily Life" has begun to gain popularity, Pei Qian cleverly blocked Director Zhu's way of making money.
Perfect!
Of course, we cannot take it lightly.
Pei Qian couldn't help but sigh, tell me about this group of employees, why don't any of them make people worry?
Are you all versatile? Why didn’t I see that you had this kind of talent when you were recruiting?
Fortunately, I have brothers.
Ma Yang is still honest, he definitely doesn’t have any special skills!
Speaking of Mayang, the Moyu Internet Cafe has already started to be renovated.
Because the restaurant was originally decorated with fine decoration, the main purpose of changing it into an Internet cafe this time was to change the structure, so it won't take too long, just half a month.
It is expected that the decoration will be completed around March 7th or 8th.
With Ma Yang taking care of him, Pei Qian felt more at ease.
He planned to take a look at the Internet cafe after it was decorated. As long as Ma Yang and Zhang Yuan didn't cause trouble for him, the Internet cafe would be fully compensated and not run away!
