Just as he was pondering, there was a knock on the door.
He looked up and saw that it was Meng Chang.
Obviously, it was the end of the month again. Meng Chang was here to calculate the commission.
Pei Qian took a look and handed the notebook to Meng Chang.
"It's a pity for the last part," Pei Qian said.
The publicity plan for 'Successor' had been maintained very well. A lot of money had been spent, but it did not become popular. Its rating was also as low as 6.
In short, it was useless.
According to the previous progress, Meng Chang might really get a full commission if he maintained this state of spending money without causing a splash after the second round of publicity.
Unfortunately, it was that Young Master Tian who appeared out of nowhere again.
This Young Master Tian really posted a status update.
In fact, Pei Qian had just said it casually.
He said that Young Master Tian would definitely not post a video. At most, he would post a status update. To be precise, there was only a very small chance that Young Master Tian would post a status update.
That was because Pei Qian felt that Young Master Tian's risk was too high and the benefits were too low. It was not something a smart person should do.
However, he did not expect Young Master Tian to not only get involved, but also swim in troubled waters!
The lethality of this was no less than posting a video.
Pei Qian was puzzled as well. Was this Young Master Tian's brain damaged? Tengda did not give him any money.
Why did he praise 'Successor' as an epoch-making work?
What's more, he said that all the debates about 'Successor' would naturally disappear the day after it was broadcasted?
Pei Qian was very nervous. He searched for this date on Qiandu but did not find anything.
The search results were filled with content such as' what festival is January 13th ',' lunar calendar query on January 13th ',' analysis of the fate of the birthday on January 13th ',' what constellation is on January 13th ', and so on.
Pei Qian wanted to say something every time this happened.
The first sentence was: Riddle Man, get out!
The second sentence was: Spicy Chicken Thousand Degrees!
It was not completely useful even though the Only Hateful Useful app was more useful now. One could imagine that for a long time in the future, the number of times Pei Qian said 'spicy chicken thousand degrees' would still not decrease.
Although Mr. Tian had become the hateful riddler, and the netizens had not guessed what kind of special day the 13th of January was, the popularity of the event had really been brought up.
Previously, many people had criticized "Successor" on the internet and gave it low scores, causing many viewers and old readers who liked "Successor" to be disgusted. In addition, the official platform for the film critics who supported "Successor", as well as Young Master Tian's statement, the smell of gunpowder between the two sides became stronger and stronger, and the quarrel became more intense.
Young Master Tian's simple action could not turn the situation around, but it did add fuel to the fire.
This kind of charlatan-like speech attracted a lot of attention. The anti-fans all used this matter as a joke, mocking the people who supported "Successor". They were just waiting for January 13th to pass. If nothing happened, they would continue to attack "Successor" and start celebrating.
In any case, the heat had risen a little.
That directly caused the commission that Meng Chang could obtain to shrink greatly. He directly drew 76,000 yuan.
Even though it was already very good compared to when he received the basic salary previously, Young Master Tian's action had caused his commission to be at least halved. People who did not have any psychological endurance would really not be able to take it.
Pei Qian felt that Meng Chang's attitude towards Young Master Tian was most likely the same as his attitude towards Teacher Qiao.
They could not live under the same sky!
Thus, Pei Qian felt the same way and expressed his "pity" from the bottom of his heart.
Meng Chang sighed silently. "That's right, but there's nothing we can do about it."
If he did not use Young Master Tian's account to activate the status, the Pei Consortium's publicity method would not be perfect. He could only cut off more than half of the commission.
He might have already spent 200,000 US dollars on the other side. If he succeeded, the profits would completely crush this bit of commission. However, the loss of commission was still more than 100,000 yuan no matter what!
It was impossible for Meng Chang to say that he did not feel the pain at all.
However, after following Boss Pei for such a long time, Meng Chang had long learned the principle of giving up before gaining.
After reading it from beginning to end, Meng Chang had no objections to the commission.
Pei Qian put away his laptop and said, "Choose one of the two publicity plans next month. They are Shang Yang Games' 'Safe and Civilized Driving' and Tengda Games' 'Ghost General 2'. I heard that the engineering samples of the steering wheel and hardware equipment have been produced and are currently in mass production. As for the game, the DEMO is already available. However, the full version of the game will be released in the middle of the month. "
"Ghost General 2 should be released at the end of next month or the beginning of the month after that."
"The difficulty of both projects this time is a little high. You should go and investigate first."
The reason why it was said to be difficult was mainly due to two considerations.
First, these were both game projects. Tengda's game projects would definitely receive a lot of attention. They were naturally popular and difficult to suppress.
The gameplay of Safe and Civilized Driving might be boring and Pei Qian was hoping to use the gameplay to dissuade gamers, but it did not seem safe to just rely on this.
Second, the timing was relatively awkward.
Safe and Civilized Driving would be released in the middle of the month. At that time, the game, the steering wheel, and other peripherals would be released. It would be too difficult to maintain a low popularity before the end of the month.
On the other hand, Ghost General 2 might be released at the end of the month, but its greatest disadvantage was that it was a fighting game. The game content itself did not have much of a flaw. It would not be easy to perform reverse publicity.
Fortunately, Meng Chang was no longer the Meng Chang from before. He was getting more and more comfortable with getting commissions.
Thus, it was better to let Meng Chang choose.
Meng Chang hesitated for a moment before saying, "Boss Pei, I don't really want to choose either of them. I think it's very difficult to perform in both games."
"Can I continue to work on the publicity plan for Successor?"
In Meng Chang's opinion, it would not be easy to use the Pei Corporation's publicity method to publicize these two games.
That was because Tengda Games had a good reputation. It would be difficult to suppress its popularity in the early stages. After the game was released, it would definitely be well-received within three to five days.
There was basically no use for the Pei Corporation's publicity method for such projects. They would not be able to obtain commissions at all.
Rather than that, he might as well continue to work on the publicity plan for Successor.
There was an advantage to doing this. He could hedge the risk slightly.
If "Successor" exploded in popularity on the 13th, he would definitely lose this month's commission. However, his 200,000 US dollars would be a huge profit!
At that time, who would care about the 200,000 US dollars?
If the worst happened and Successor did not become popular on the 13th, he would definitely be able to get a full commission even though the 200,000 US dollars would go down the drain.
Compared to the two projects that had a very low success rate of 'Safe and Civilized Driving' and 'Ghost General 2', it was obviously more worth it to continue to publicize 'Successor'.
What's more, Meng Chang wanted to continue keeping an eye on the situation of 'Successor' and adjust the publicity plan at any time. He could pull Young Master Tian out if necessary.
Meng Chang really wanted to use the Pei Corporation's publicity method perfectly after learning it for so long.
On the other hand, only half of the publicity plan for 'Successor' was completed. Meng Chang wanted to complete the other half.
If he used the Pei Corporation's publicity method on 'Successor' once, Meng Chang felt that his strength would definitely increase by leaps and bounds and produce a qualitative change.
Pei Qian thought for a moment. "Alright."
He could not help but laugh to himself. Meng Chang was quite smart.
He knew that it was difficult to promote the two games, so he wanted to go back and fight to the death with 'Successor'.
Pei Qian did not have any objections to this. That was because there were two goals for asking Meng Chang to do the publicity plan. The first goal was to reduce the popularity of the project and the possibility of its success. The second goal was to burn more publicity funds.
The first goal could not be forced because the success of the project mainly depended on the project itself. No matter how poor the publicity plan was for a good product, it would only temporarily suppress its popularity and make it unknown. It would still become popular in the future.
Thus, Pei Qian's expectations for Meng Chang were mainly on the second point.
As long as Meng Chang could guarantee that the publicity funds would go down the drain and not be able to recover the desired effect, that would be fine.
On the other hand, 'Successor' was already a complete flop from the current situation. No amount of publicity funds would be wasted. Since that was the case, why not let Meng Chang continue burning money there?
In any case, it was all publicity funds. It did not matter where he burned them. Meng Chang felt that Successor was more confident, and so did Pei Qian.
Meng Chang nodded. Boss Pei was quite kind. He knew that he was not familiar with the Pei Corporation's publicity method and did not force him to choose a difficult game project. Instead, he tacitly allowed him to dawdle on the medium-difficulty race track for another month.
Just as he was about to leave, Pei Qian suddenly recalled something and stopped him.
"I have a question. I'm just asking casually. You can also ask casually. Speak freely."
"If … I'm saying if Young Master Tian is in Tengda Corporation, who do you think is the most suitable for Young Master Tian's true identity among Tengda's employees?"
Pei Qian had always suspected that Young Master Tian was hiding in Tengda and was very likely to be Tian Mo.
However, the reason why he did not alert the enemy and send Tian Mo on a bitter trip was mainly because he felt that this might be a gang crime. Someone had edited the video and edited the script for Tian Mo.
Young Master Tian's video was too exquisite after all. It did not seem like something Tian Mo could create alone.
However, it was not a solution to keep dragging this on. Tian Mo was not in Jingzhou now. He had gone to open a new experience store elsewhere. He was far away from Pei Qian. It was not realistic even if he wanted to observe closely and catch him.
Pei Qian felt that if he listened to both sides, he might be able to gain something new from exchanging opinions with others?
Meng Chang was the only good brother in the entire company with the same goal as him. He had been investigating Young Master Tian and had already deduced his personality and character in real life. Naturally, he was the first to ask.
Meng Chang was stunned when he heard this question.
He was confused.
