Seeing how enthusiastic Boss Pei was, Lin Wan almost forgot why she was here.
Why did it feel like the game was selling well and that they were going to hold a big celebration?
The two of them entered the guest room. Pei Qian beckoned Lin Wan to sit on the sofa and poured her tea personally.
Meritorious people deserved to be treated like this!
Pei Qian was very satisfied with the current situation of Bloody Battle Song: The Powerful Version.
They had spent eight million yuan and successfully lost money.
Lin Wan would probably suffer a huge blow from this failure. She might not be able to withstand the pressure and return to inherit her family business.
This was double happiness.
Indeed, acquiring Shang Yang Games had been the right decision!
The only pity was that TPDb's rating was a little low. If he could increase it to eight, he would be able to give out an additional four hundred thousand yuan.
Four hundred thousand yuan was not to be underestimated. For all he knew, four hundred thousand yuan was all he needed to make a loss.
Of course, Lin Wan and Shang Yang Games were already very outstanding now. Boss Pei was a person who was easily satisfied.
Boss Pei poured her tea personally. Lin Wan was a little flattered. She hugged the teacup and took two sips, almost forgetting why she was here.
Oh, that's right. She was here to report to Boss Pei.
Lin Wan briefly explained the problems Shang Yang Games was facing.
"Boss Pei, I'm here because of two problems.
"First, Zhang Zuting's advertisement has been badly criticized. Not only has our game had a bad reputation among ordinary netizens, but Zhang Zuting is also very troubled.
"Yesterday, he took the initiative to contact the staff of Shang Yang Games to ask if he could come to Jingzhou again to reshoot the advertisement.
"What's more, he didn't want a single cent. He was willing to make a wasted trip.
"I know that this advertisement is to attract traditional web-based gamers, but it has indeed affected Zhang Zuting's reputation. Why don't we reshoot a better advertisement to make up for it?"
Reshoot the advertisement?
Absolutely not!
Pei Qian did not even think about it as he shook his head. "There's no need.
I understand how Old Zhang feels, but reshooting the advertisement won't solve the problem.
"The advertisement has already been aired. Everyone's impression of it has already been set. We can't possibly brainwash everyone and make them collectively lose their memories.
"Besides, if this advertisement becomes popular, it will attract a lot of new fans to Old Zhang. It's okay to be scolded a little."
Lin Wan still felt that it was inappropriate. "But many people on his Weibo are calling him 'Zha Zhuti.' He finds it hard to accept this nickname …"
Pei Qian smiled. "Why is Old Zhang not as popular as before? It's because the burden of being an idol is too heavy. It's impossible to understand what young people nowadays like. "
"You're still clinging to the past? How are you going to turn things around? How are you going to stand out? Everyone is willing to call him 'Zha Zhuti' because it's a term of endearment and they like him. Don't you understand such a simple logic? "
Lin Wan was confused. "Huh?"
What Boss Pei said made sense.
But the person involved was not willing!
Pei Qian continued, "Go back and do more psychological work with Old Zhang. Help him change his mindset. I think the nickname 'Zha Zhuti' is quite good. It's very friendly. "
"It sounds very appetizing. Young people will definitely like it."
"If you don't believe me, take a look at Zhang Zuting's Weibo. Isn't he gaining more fans? Isn't his popularity increasing as well?"
Lin Wan looked at her phone in a daze. "It seems like … I've gained a lot of fans."
"Alright, I'll try to persuade him when I get back …"
Lin Wan was confused by Pei Qian's words. This problem was solved.
"There's a second problem. You've seen the figures for Bloody Battle Song: The Powerful Version, right?
"Although the figures are not ideal, I think it's still too early to say that it has failed. I'm going to observe for a week. If the figures are still not good after a week, I'll try to make changes."
Eh? Try to make changes in a week?
What the heck? Isn't the situation very good now?
Please don't change it!
Pei Qian's expression immediately turned serious. He said seriously, "Failed? How did it fail?
"The consumer rating on TPDb is 9.2. That's obviously a flood of good reviews!
"What's more, I've read on the forums. Old players are very satisfied with the game.
"Tengda is now using word of mouth as our evaluation criteria. That's why this game is not considered a failure. Instead, it's considered a success. It has perfectly achieved its original goal.
"As for the fact that it's not profitable for now, that's not a big deal. Take a long-term view.
"As long as the game's reputation is good, it will be profitable in the future."
Lin Wan was still conflicted. "Er …
"That's true, but … the netizens' rating is very low. It's only 4.3."
Pei Qian sipped his tea and snickered. "They're just a bunch of cloud players who joined in the fun.
"These people haven't even played games before. They gave the game one point after watching an advertisement. Why should we care about what they say?
"The netizens' rating is 4.3. That's mainly because there are too few users on TPDb at the moment. Many people misunderstand Bloody Battle Song: The Powerful Version. That's why this rating is not accurate.
"You have to believe that good games will not be buried. Since the consumers have acknowledged it, as long as you persevere, you will see the light one day!"
Lin Wan nodded silently.
Yes, Boss Pei was indeed more open-minded than she had imagined.
The netizens' rating had been bothering Lin Wan, but it was not a problem for Boss Pei.
Pei Qian smiled calmly. "Didn't I emphasize this repeatedly? You have to take a long-term view.
"Bloody Battle Song: The Powerful Version is the culmination of everyone's hard work. Since we all think that it's a good game, why should we care about short-term profits and losses?
"Don't panic, and don't make any changes. Just maintain the current state."
Lin Wan nodded. Boss Pei was still the clearest!
Since Boss Pei also thought that the game was not suitable for major changes, she would not make any changes.
However … it did not seem right to just wait like this, right?
She had to make some changes as much as she could.
Lin Wan pondered for a moment. "I'll ask them to make some improvements in the near future, then. I'll fix some bugs without changing the main content of the game."
Pei Qian nodded, satisfied. "Yes, very good."
As long as you don't make any changes and maintain the current state, everything would be fine.
"But … Boss Pei, when do you think Bloody Battle Song: The Powerful Version will turn for the better?" Lin Wan asked again.
When will it turn for the better?
This question has stumped me. I don't know either.
If I had to decide, it would be best if it never turns for the better.
However, seeing Lin Wan's expectant gaze, Pei Qian felt that he had to say a few empty words to comfort her.
"It depends on luck. When the time comes, the situation will naturally turn for the better. "
…
…
After sending Lin Wan off, Pei Qian heaved a sigh of relief.
It was almost done!
Ming Yun Private Kitchen's failure had made him nervous. Now that he had received good news from Shang Yang Games, Pei Qian could finally relax.
He asked Lin Wan to comfort Zhang Zuting. In any case, he had given him money, treated him to a meal, and brought him traffic and popularity. Pei Qian did not feel that he owed Old Zhang anything.
Old Zhang was just being scolded a little. It was not a big deal.
If Old Zhang really felt that it was unfair, he would get a few more Hong Kong celebrities to film advertisements next time. Then, they could all 'bite me if you're my brother'.
At most, he would treat Old Zhang to a good meal the next time he came to Jingzhou.
However, when Pei Qian thought about how he would have to make reservations for Ming Yun Private Kitchen in the future and not be able to eat casually, he felt a little depressed.
"Oh, right. I have to call Lin Canrong!"
Pei Qian suddenly thought of a very important problem.
He had been too optimistic about Ming Yun Private Kitchen's situation. He had reserved too little food; it was not enough at all.
Although Ming Yun Private Kitchen had been booked until next week, he could still make it if he made the best use of the time.
Pei Qian gave Lin Canrong a call and added a few more reservations.
Previously, he reserved the restaurant on the 20th of even-numbered months. He reserved the largest private room on the first and third Sunday of every month.
Now, he reserved the restaurant on the 20th of every month. He reserved the largest private room on the first and third Sunday of every month.
Simply put, he had doubled the number of reservations he had made previously.
Pei Qian wanted to reserve more, but he had to have a valid reason for each gathering.
If he reserved a private room every week and the restaurant every month, that should be enough.
After making the reservations, Pei Qian heaved a sigh of relief.
He would treat Teacher Qiao to a meal this Sunday to comfort his broken heart.
On the 20th of this month, he could treat everyone in Shang Yang Games to a meal to show his appreciation.
He did not have to worry about Shang Yang Games for now. Pei Qian felt much more relaxed. He picked up his controller again, prepared to continue suffering in Repent and be Saved.
At that moment, his cell phone screen lit up. It was a message from Lin Chang.
"Boss Pei, are you that Hardcore Reviews?"
Pei Qian was stunned.
Oh? He had been discovered so quickly?
Pei Qian had thought that Lin Chang was a busy man and would not pay attention to a small account like Hardcore Reviews.
Pei Qian had wanted to wait until all twenty episodes were recorded before telling Lin Chang about it. He had not expected Lin Chang to discover it himself.
Ever since he had started updating Hardcore Reviews' videos last month, he had uploaded eleven episodes. He had already completed half of the original target of twenty episodes.
Pei Qian's initial plan was to just do it casually. After he had uploaded twenty episodes, he would be able to spend the two hundred thousand yuan without worry.
In the end, the results were better than Pei Qian had expected. Hardcore Reviews kept gaining fans. Now, it had more than six hundred thousand followers.
The first three cell phone reviews were especially popular. The fans of the three cell phone companies had been fighting amongst themselves. Even now, the views were still increasing.
Of course, even an account with six hundred thousand fans did not have much influence on Aili Island. It was only slightly famous in the digital industry.
Pei Qian had not expected Lin Chang to notice this program.
Could it be that Boss Lin also visited Aili Island when he had nothing better to do?
To others, even if they saw Hardcore Reviews, they would not be able to confirm that this was Boss Pei.
On one hand, Pei Qian did not show his face, and his tone was different from usual. On the other hand, no one would have expected Boss Pei to be so rich that he would shoot videos for fun.
However, Lin Chang was different.
He had sponsored this program and knew that Boss Pei wanted to conduct a 'performance art' experiment. Moreover, through the host's figure and accent in the video, Lin Chang was able to identify Lin Chang.
There was no need for Pei Qian to hide it. From the beginning, he had done this for Lin Chang. Thus, he admitted it.
"It's me."
