September 8th, Wednesday …
In the afternoon …
Pei Qian finished his lunch from Fish-Catching Take-Out and drank two mouthfuls of Coca-Cola. He felt very satisfied and lay down in his chair for a while.
Fish-Catching Take-Out was one of the businesses that Pei Qian was most satisfied with. Not only did it solve the problem of feeding all his employees, but it had also been incurring losses for a long time. There were no signs of profits at all.
The only problem was that it could only rely on Fish-Catching Internet Cafe. It could only deliver goods to the areas around Fish-Catching Internet Cafe. It could not expand as quickly as Upwind Courier stations.
However, Pei Qian was not anxious. As long as Fish-Catching Internet Cafe 2.0 could be launched quickly, Fish-Catching Take-Out's market would expand further. Naturally, its losses would increase as well.
After eating and drinking to his heart's content, Pei Qian turned off Repent and be Saved on his computer.
It was another tough morning, but he was finally seeing the light.
Pei Qian was already very familiar with using Pudu as a weapon. As long as he persevered for about a week and cleared the six realms of rebirth and existence, that would be a huge success for Pei Qian.
Not only would it mean that he was free and would not have to suffer when he opened the game again, but it also meant that the game had finally met the System's requirements and could be successfully released.
Once the game's sales plummeted and it incurred huge losses, the good times would begin for Pei Qian!
At that thought, Pei Qian could not help but smile.
He opened Aili Island and prepared to watch a few funny short videos to aid digestion.
First, he ignored the 99 + private messages urging him to update.
He could only say that being a famous UP Master on a website like Aili Island was very troublesome. Every time he opened it, there would be a bunch of messages. Most of them were private messages urging him to update.
Boss Pei was so busy with work. How could he have time to update videos every day?!
Now, Hardcore Reviews had already destroyed more than ten digital products. Even Pei Qian himself felt that the show was getting boring.
Yet, the audience was still enjoying it. Every time a new digital product appeared, they would rush over to urge Pei Qian to destroy this and that without getting sick of it.
What's more, everyone was becoming more and more arrogant. At first, they only asked him to destroy cell phones that cost three to five thousand yuan. Now, they even wanted to destroy laptops and earphones that cost more than ten thousand yuan.
If not for the fact that Aili Island's incentive plan was quite profitable, Pei Qian would have quit a long time ago!
Pei Qian planned to destroy new digital products every few days to maintain his popularity. That was especially so when Shenhua sent him free products.
Anyway, by the end of this cycle, he could easily lose a few hundred thousand to spend. There was no need for him to painstakingly update his videos.
After that, Pei Qian saw Fei Huang Workspace's new video in the coding area. It was the fourth episode of A Day in a Great Inventor's Life.
Fei Huang Workspace still maintained a very stable pace of updating. Although the content of the video this time was obviously much longer than Boss Pei's Daily Life, it still maintained weekly updates. Among all the UP Masters on Aili Island, it was considered one of the more diligent ones.
After all, many UP Masters worked part-time, while Fei Huang Workspace was a full-time company. With manpower and money, they could produce content faster and more steadily.
Pei Qian did not play the video, mainly because he was afraid that his heart would not be able to take it.
If one day, this series of videos really managed to attract the attention of some big international brands, it would be nothing short of a nightmare for Boss Pei. He would have to take a quick fix every time he clicked on an episode.
What's more, Pei Qian had no good way to stop them now. Thus, he could only bury his head in the sand and pretend not to see anything.
Taking a look at the status updates, he noticed that none of the idiotic uploaders that he followed had uploaded any videos with any content.
Thus, Pei Qian finally opened his favorite ghost beast zone.
Ghost beasts were the stepping stones for humans to improve.
However, when he opened the ghost beast zone this time, Pei Qian suddenly realized that something was different from before.
Someone new had joined the Ghost Beast All-Stars!
Pei Qian scanned the titles of the Ghost Beast videos that had been uploaded recently. It was obvious who this lucky guy was.
'Zha Zhuti: A New Version of the Boat You've Never Taken'
'Congratulations to Zha Zhuti for joining the Ghost Beast All-Stars'
'Zha Zhuti: Sing Bloody Battle Song with Me'
'Zha Zhuti: Sing Bloody Battle Song with Me'
'Zha Zhuti: The Powerful Version: Sing with Me'
What's more, these videos had quite a lot of views. It was almost certain that Zhang Zuting would enter the Ghost Beast All-Stars.
Pei Qian wondered if a Ghost Beast video with more than three million views would appear so that he could enter the Ghost Beast Hall of Fame.
Pei Qian smiled and smiled. Suddenly, he stopped smiling.
He quickly opened Bloody Battle Song: The Powerful Version's background data and took a look.
After reading it, Pei Qian heaved a sigh of relief.
Phew …
Fortunately, there were not many changes in the data.
Compared to before, it was slightly better. However, overall, it was still a long way from recovering its capital.
This was within Pei Qian's expectations. After all, there had been so many advertisements, and the quality of the game was not bad. The reputation of the old players was also very good. It was impossible for the data to not increase after such a long time.
As long as the data increased slowly enough, it would be fine.
Obviously, the two big filters of the advertisements and the mini-client had filtered out a large number of players. The number of players who had actually downloaded the game and played it was less than twenty to thirty percent of the people who had clicked on the advertisements.
Thus, Pei Qian relaxed for now. Even if the Ghost Beast videos had become popular, he could still rest easy for now.
"Perhaps I'm overthinking things.
"Back then, Zha Zhuti's Ghost Beast videos were very popular as well. Almost everyone knew about them. However, how many people on Bilibili would really play the game that Zha Zhuti endorsed just because of one Ghost Beast video?
"Definitely, but definitely not a lot."
Now that he was no longer burdened, Pei Qian opened the search results for the keyword 'Zha Zhuti' and started to look at related videos.
Apart from a large number of Ghost Beast videos and videos from marketing accounts that leeched on popularity, there were also some interview records of Zhang Zuting.
Zhang Zuting had not been idle recently. Although he was a little outdated, he had been acting as a supporting character in many movies.
One of the interview videos asked Zhang Zuting about his opinion on the nickname 'Zha Zhuti'.
In the video, Zhang Zuting looked helpless and helpless.
"The entire country is laughing at me now.
"They're all mimicking me. Hello, everyone, I'm Zha Zhuti. If you're my brother, come and bite me …
"Many of my fans are asking me why I, a person who has won the Best Actor Award before, did the advertisement so awkwardly.
"Actually, I was really acting seriously that day. Moreover, when I was filming for the first time, I was really full of emotion and was very immersed in my acting. In the end, my partner told me that they wanted me to be a little more lazy and casual. They didn't want me to act so seriously. They wanted me to give everyone a warm feeling."
"Then, I said it casually. I didn't expect it to be accepted.
"I even specially emphasized that it would be best to find a dubbing actor because my Mandarin is not very good. In the end, they did not find one and just played my original voice. I don't really understand what was going on.
"After that, the advertisement became very popular. I even asked if I could reshoot it, but the partner said that there was no need. That's how it turned out.
"Actually, until now, I still don't understand why it became so popular."
The emcee laughed happily. "Then, have you ever thought of ending the collaboration with the partner?"
Zhang Zuting shook his head helplessly. "No. Apart from the fact that this advertisement was a little bad, the partner was very good in everything else. We had a great time working together.
"What's more, since everyone likes to call me Zha Zhuti, let them call me that. As long as everyone is happy.
"If everyone thinks that calling me that is very intimate and interesting, then let them call me that. I don't mind."
Emcee: "So, this advertisement did not cause you much trouble, did it?"
At that moment, Zhang Zuting did not know how to answer. After some thought, he said, "If it's trouble … it should be alright. It's mainly my friends like Ah Jian, Ah Xiong, Jiaqiang, and the others who are all laughing at me.
"Every time I go out to eat, they have to bring this up. It's really annoying."
…
Pei Qian turned off the video, feeling a little guilty.
Sigh, although I have increased Old Zhang's popularity, I have let him down for not being able to hold his head high in front of his friends.
Since that's the case, I have to help him out as a friend.
Pei Qian casually searched for the few friends that Zhang Zuting had mentioned.
He realized that birds of a feather flocked together. Zhang Zuting's friends were even more outdated than him.
Zhang Zuting had been a Best Actor in the past, after all. His friends used to be supporting actors. Naturally, they were doing even worse now. They could not even act as supporting actors anymore.
Filming advertisements aside, some of them were even reduced to performing at the opening of real estate.
The worst of them could not get any roles and was involved in a contract dispute with the management company. Now, they were living in poverty and could only rely on Zhang Zuting and his other friends to survive.
Of course, although some of Zhang Zuting's friends were doing well and some were doing badly, they were still very close to each other. They were not being serious about using advertisements to tease Zhang Zuting. They were just joking among friends.
After searching for their current situation, Pei Qian's eyes welled up.
Life was not easy.
As a kind-hearted person, Pei Qian decided to help them out.
Pei Qian randomly picked four friends who were closer to Zhang Zuting. They were also the ones that Zhang Zuting had mentioned in the video. He sent the list to Lin Wan.
"I'll give you another two million yuan. Get these four people to film a series of advertisements for Bloody Battle Song: The Powerful Version. Air it together with Zhang Zuting's advertisement."
Since these people were really outdated, Pei Qian did not ask for much. He would give each of them five hundred thousand yuan to be the spokesperson for two years. That should be enough.
Good friends had to be neat and tidy.
That way, Zhang Zuting would not have to be mocked. His friends would not have to be so poor either.
Killing two birds with one stone. How good would that be!
Pei Qian could not help but feel emotional. Ai, I'm such a kind-hearted person.
