July 13th, Friday …
Pei Qian was in his office, sighing as he looked at the work summaries sent by the various departments.
It was difficult!
This week had been too difficult.
There was no need to talk about the news of the subway on Monday. It was a huge blow to Pei Qian, causing him to stay at home for two days before recovering.
Then, it was the summer rush that ended on Wednesday.
Pei Qian could only use one word to describe this summer promotion: 'boring'!
He should have had a good fight with Finger Games, but the other party did not take it up at all.
That seemed to be Tengda's wishful thinking.
Not only that, but there was also bad news from there. Eric specially ran over to say goodbye. He should have returned to Dayak Corporation's headquarters by now. His future was unknown.
Pei Qian could not help but feel sad.
The most sad thing was that Pei Qian still had the mysterious reward from the System that he had not used!
The System had given him a reward during the last settlement. It allowed Pei Qian to spend up to 100,000 yuan of Personal Wealth and convert it into 100 times the profit. What's more, it was a permanent option that he could come once every cycle.
In other words, Pei Qian could take out 100,000 yuan from his own pocket and give 10 million yuan to users unconditionally at a critical juncture.
Pei Qian had wanted to use this reward at the critical moment of the money-burning war with Finger Games.
Imagine Finger Games coming in aggressively. Both sides were desperately trying to reduce the discount and were locked in a battle.
— — —
At that moment, Tengda suddenly threw out ten million yuan for nothing. How imposing would that be!
It would definitely give Finger Games a fright.
However, there was no chance now. The opponent had already made up his mind to withdraw from the battlefield. Who else could he give the quota to?
Of course, he could not waste it. If he really could not find a way to spend money in the end, he could use this method to spend the last ten million yuan.
However, it was still a little boring.
Then, bad news came from Zhongdian Chinese Network.
The copyright development plan of the Inspiration Class had inevitably spread ever since the development plan of Eternal Fallen Samsara was announced.
During this period, a large number of authors had entered Zhongdian Chinese Network one after another. A large number of new authors had emerged. There were even many authors who had written well on other websites who had jumped ship.
That was because this copyright development plan had unintentionally had the effect of "buying a horse's bones"!
What was the most important thing to authors?
Of course, the number one priority was the readers, subscriptions, and royalties. You have to be able to support your family so that you can continue writing.
But there was one more thing that should not be underestimated, and that was the higher and seemingly illusory copyright development!
For a book, the development of copyright was beyond the subscription data, because it was equivalent to a rebirth of a story, transforming words into images.
Be it web dramas, animations, movies, or games, the expressive power and popularity would be much higher than simple words.
For an author, if their work could be copyrighted and adapted, regardless of whether it was successful or not, this opportunity was extremely rare.
Although many classic works were excellent, they did not have the opportunity to obtain copyrights and develop them. This could be said to be a pity.
Many authors were jealous to see that a work like Eternal Fallen Samsara could be developed by Tengda officially and become the downloadable content of a classic game like Repent and be Saved.
A doujinshi was forcefully written into an official sequel, this was too fortunate!
Many authors pondered. With this level of skill, I should be able to do it, right?
What's more, even if he did not succeed, the buyout fee given by Zhongdian Chinese Network's inspiration class was not low. His life was definitely guaranteed.
Thus, Zhongdian Chinese Network's status in the online literature circle increased once again!
Pei Qian was worried again.
It looked like he had to think of a way to mess up the three copyrighted works in the next cycle.
On one hand, it was to incur losses. On the other hand, it was to dissuade these authors from other websites!
Otherwise, if the authors ran over, the more good works there would be, the more readers would naturally come over. That was self-evident.
Apart from that, there was also the matter of Slow Movement Workspace's VR glasses.
On Thursday, which was yesterday, Pei Qian looked at the public opinion online again and felt that the time was ripe.
Thus, he informed Slow Movement Workspace and officially started selling Doubt.
VR glasses.
However, there was a strict limit on the number of sales. It would be sold twice a week, and only 1,000 units would be sold each time.
VR might be a niche product and not many gamers were willing to pay for it, but this number was obviously far from meeting the market demand.
That was exactly what Pei Qian wanted to achieve.
That was because the current online opinion of Doubt
VR glasses was not very optimistic. Putting aside the specific quality of this glasses, most people's negative comments were mainly focused on 'marketing', 'hype', and 'buying fake reviewers'.
What's more, due to the special situation of the VR glasses, the game Animal Island was not released. The streamers could not let the audience understand the awesomeness of this glasses through live-streams.
Many streamers had criminal records, so they were thought to have received money when they boasted about this VR glasses.
The number of sales this time was still strictly limited. It was so that only a small portion of the netizens who were paying attention to this type of glasses could buy the real thing.
That way, even if many netizens who bought the real thing changed their minds about this type of glasses and went online to say that this type of glasses was very good, others would still not believe them.
That way, he could maximize the time of this negative public opinion. At the same time, he could use hunger marketing to further arouse the disgust of netizens and make the reverse publicity effect better.
Of course, he could not continue dragging this on.
Settlement was going to be at the end of this month. He had to officially release these products a month in advance. Animal Island VR had to be released as well.
Slow Movement Workspace had already completed the development of the game after all. Pei Qian could explain that he wanted them to test more and fix the bugs if he delayed it for a week. It would not be appropriate to delay any longer.
All in all, Pei Qian's goal was to delay until the 18th, which was next Wednesday. He wanted Meng Chang to get the minimum commission.
Why was life so difficult?!
Pei Qian leaned back in his chair, his mind empty. He did not know what to say.
A few minutes later, there was a knock on the office door.
"Please come in."
Pei Qian looked up and was stunned.
The person who came was actually Lu Zhiyao.
Even though Lu Zhiyao was wearing a cap and a mask that completely covered his face, Pei Qian recognized him at first glance since they had worked together many times.
Lu Zhiyao took off his hat and glasses, beaming. "Boss Pei!"
Pei Qian was a little surprised. "Why are you here?"
Lu Zhiyao smiled. "Oh, I just happened to have some free time recently. There's nothing much to do."
"I was thinking that the movie 'Mission and Choice' will be released tomorrow. It happens to be a Saturday, and next Friday happens to be the 20th …"
"I happened to ask Uncle Zhang and a few old friends to come to Jingzhou to play and have a meal!"
"I heard that Jingzhou has a new snack market and Tengda Experience Store during this period of time. What's more, the subway is going to be repaired? Boss Pei, congratulations! "
Pei Qian: "…"
He was so confident that he was here to scrounge for a meal. He was shameless!
After all, they had worked together for so long. Lu Zhiyao had already figured out the process.
He realized that Boss Pei would treat him to a meal every time the movie was completed. Boss Pei would also treat him to a meal when they gathered together after the movie was released.
What's more, Boss Pei would usually arrange for private rooms on Saturdays and Sundays every month. He would book the entire place for a meal on the 20th.
Calculating with his fingers, the timing was just right!
The movie was released on a weekend so he could have a meal. He would play in Jingzhou for a week and have another meal on the 20th.
Perfect!
Lu Zhiyao could not help but drool at the thought of the delicious food in the nameless restaurant.
What's more, there was nothing to be embarrassed about.
Lu Zhiyao felt that he was the main lead of Mission and Choice. The box office of this movie had squeezed to 1.6 billion yuan at the last moment. It had broken the record. Boss Pei had earned at least 500 million yuan, right?
So what if he was scrounging for a meal from Boss Pei!
Wasn't that righteous?
Pei Qian felt a headache coming on when he heard the words' Mission and Choice '.
It was taken off the screen. It was finally over!
The extension of the key for two months might have caused the box office to increase a little, but Pei Qian had no choice but to extend the key.
That was because the box office would only be paid back in the next cycle after the extension.
What if he suddenly had an additional 500 million yuan before settlement given the world's extremely fast recovery speed if he did not extend it?
At that time, he would probably have to accept the 500,000 yuan converted from profits with tears in his eyes.
Not only was the amount of money four hundred thousand yuan less than the eight to nine hundred thousand yuan converted from losses, but the most important thing was that the mysterious reward that he could obtain if his wealth was converted to more than 800,000 yuan would also be gone.
That would be a huge loss!
In short, that was it.
This nightmare was finally over.
Lu Zhiyao sat on the sofa very naturally and poured himself a cup of tea. "Boss Pei, what are you filming for the next movie? I can't wait! "
Pei Qian almost rolled his eyes in anger.
F * ck you!
You're addicted, aren't you?!
You've made me a lot of money, but you've also caused me a lot of trouble!
Lu Zhiyao was indeed addicted. Where else could he find such a good thing like making a movie that would become popular?
If he had known that the movie would definitely become popular before filming, everyone in the production team would have been on steroids and would have started work immediately. Who would have been able to endure it?
That was the feeling of filming a movie with Boss Pei.
No matter how it was filmed, it would be a double harvest in the box office and reputation!
Pei Qian said, "Not in the short term. Fei Huang Workspace's next project is going to be a web drama, and it's going to be filmed overseas. There's no suitable role for you. "
Lu Zhiyao was unhappy at that moment. He put down his teacup. "How can there be no suitable role for me? I'm also good at foreign languages. Can't you just arrange a Chinese role for me? "
Pei Qian patiently persuaded him. "The main characters have already been confirmed. They're all foreigners. Even if I arrange a Chinese role for you, it would only be a small supporting role."
Pei Qian felt that Lu Zhiyao was only one important award away from being the Best Actor. It was not an exaggeration to say that he was the hottest male actor in the country now. There should be a long queue of people asking him to be the main character, right?
Why would he choose to film a web drama with Fei Huang Workspace instead of so many films? Just a small role?
You must be out of your mind if you want to do that, right?
However, Lu Zhiyao said seriously, "So what if I'm a supporting role? I've never looked down on supporting roles!
"I won't say anything else. No matter what the theme of the web drama is, no matter what kind of supporting role, I'm going to play it!
"Boss Pei, don't be so embarrassed to ask. I'm not an ungrateful person!"
Obviously, Lu Zhiyao had misunderstood.
He felt that Boss Pei must have thought that he was too famous to ask him to play a supporting role in a web drama.
Thus, Lu Zhiyao had to make things clear. Given his relationship with Fei Huang Workspace, so what if he was a supporting role? He had to help!
He would not shirk!
Pei Qian looked at Lu Zhiyao, speechless.
What a mess!
He really wanted to post a thread online now.
The Best Actor insisted on playing a small role for me. I couldn't even chase him away. What should I do? I'm waiting online. It's urgent!
