When he returned to his room, Pei Qian felt his balls hurting.
After telling a lie, he had to use even more panic to cover it up …
If he had known this would happen, he wouldn't have made the game in the first place!
However, on further thought, Pei Qian realized that there was nothing else he could do. He couldn't possibly set up a stall in front of the school, could he? That wasn't right either.
Moreover, at that time, he was thinking of losing money. Who would have thought that the more he earned, the more he earned.
Furthermore, he wasn't lying.
He had indeed acted as the male lead, and Director Zhu had indeed paid him. There was nothing wrong with that.
He just didn't mention that Director Zhu's money was his own investment …
But his parents didn't ask!
Well, I'm still very honest.
Only then did Pei Qian have a chance to look at the comments below the video.
Potato Web did not have the bullet screen function at the moment. He would have to wait for at least two years.
However, even with the bullet screen function on Potato Web, it was useless. It was quickly overtaken by the latecomers and quickly declined.
But then again, at this point in time, it was still a very influential video giant with many outstanding content publishers.
Pei Qian looked at the comments and comments under Boss Pei's Daily Life.
"At first, I thought that this was just an ordinary short video, but after watching it, I realized that there's a deeper meaning to it. It's absurd and comical, but when I think about it carefully, I feel like I've seen it before. It makes me shiver …"
"This young actor's acting skills are really good. He vividly portrays the image of a rich and stupid nouveau riche. His satire of the chaos in the industry is also very sharp!"
"Using dark humor to reflect the various attitudes of society. It's thought-provoking."
"His expression is quite on point, full of contempt for the world. Is this really the world of the rich?"
"Not only does Boss Pei have a great aura, but his expression is also on point. The way he's lying lazily on the sofa makes him look like the boss of a company! This was a true Best Actor! I'm a fan now! "
"Previous poster, did you delete all the brackets? You're so dedicated! "
"Although this video didn't cost much to produce and seems to have been shot with a DSLR, it's very deep and thoughtful. It's much better than those short films that are full of exaggerated special effects!"
"Who told you there's no production cost? Aren't these costumes and props part of the cost? Aren't custom-made suits and Rolex watches part of the cost? I took a close look at the Rolex watch. It's a real watch, not a fake! "
"The video says that he spent 50,000 yuan to make an eight-hour driving game. Could it be The Lonely Desert Road?"
"What's going on? Is this video linked to reality?"
"It should be based on reality."
"Tengda can't sue them?"
"I'm not sure. Could Tengda have something to do with this video?"
There were many different opinions in the comments, and many people associated this video with Tengda.
However, the few hot comments with the most likes were mainly analyzing the black humor in Boss Pei's Daily Life, Boss Pei's acting skills, and the jokes he was making.
Those who suspected that this short show was related to Tengda did not have any evidence. Naturally, they could not cause any waves.
Pei Qian released games in the name of Tengda Network Technology Co., Ltd. If one did not check the legal person of the company, no one would know that the boss was Pei Qian, much less that he was an actor.
And now, even if ordinary people wanted to investigate the legal person of a certain company, there was no good way to do so. This was because software similar to the Sky Eye Check only appeared four years later in the original world.
It was still 2010 in this world; it had not yet appeared.
Therefore, most of the audience only saw Pei Qian as an ordinary young actor.
There were also some who argued under the video.
"Shoddy production, I don't know what you're talking about!"
"The creator of the video is cracking me up; he has no common sense at all! Do you think every big boss is wearing a custom-made suit and a Rolex? This is a stereotype; real big bosses wear polo shirts and shorts; they don't care that much about what they wear, alright? "
"That's right; he even spent 50,000 yuan to make a game that sells like hotcakes; that's a joke; that's not how you freeload! The Lonely Desert Road might not cost much, but it's definitely worth more than 50,000 yuan! "
"I think we should find a middle-aged man to play the role of Boss Pei. I feel that Boss Pei acts quite well, but he's too young; it doesn't match reality!"
Of course, these comments were quickly pushed to the bottom by a few hot comments.
Pei Qian did not care about these trolls.
He only cared about the number of views of the video!
From the looks of it, the situation was not looking good!
Initially, Pei Qian had a sliver of hope in his heart; what if everyone did not like it? What if everyone hated the feeling of flaunting their wealth?
However, there were no what-ifs!
Now, Pei Qian could only pray that Director Zhu Xiaoce would not accept any sponsored partnerships!
As long as there was no advertising revenue, it did not matter how many views it had; it would not be converted into profits!
…
On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Boss Pei's Daily Life released its second episode.
On the seventh day, Pei Qian left home and went back to work.
He had wanted to change all the electrical appliances in the house, but his parents would not agree to it no matter what he said; he had no choice but to give up for now.
To Old Pei, it was a good thing that his son could earn money, but he had just earned thirty thousand yuan; it was better for him to keep it for himself; and so he refused to accept it.
Pei Qian could only wait.
He would bring the electrical appliances home; what was done could not be undone; even though his parents said they would not change, they would still have to!
Although Pei Qian could stay at home until the end of the winter break, he still had to keep an eye on the company.
He was not afraid that the company's project would fall through; he was afraid that the company's project would not fall through!
It was not easy for him to taste the sweetness last time; he had lost more than twenty thousand yuan; if he worked hard this time, he would be able to lose seven to eight hundred thousand yuan; that would not be a problem.
When the time came, he would just say that the short video had become popular, that he had earned a lot of money, and that he would spend money on the family; his parents would have no reason to reject him.
En, the plan worked!
…
February 22nd, the third episode of Boss Pei's Daily Life was updated.
This time, Pei Qian clicked on it again.
Woah, all three videos had more than five hundred thousand views!
That small account that originally had two to three hundred fans was also gaining more and more fans!
The recommendation spot on Potato Web's homepage was getting better and better, and it was obvious that it was spreading to Weibo and other platforms!
Pei Qian closed the video silently.
Pei Qian tried his best to remain calm.
It's alright, it's just a short video …
He had spent a million yuan; it was still too early to recoup his losses.
He might not be able to get sponsored partnerships; and even if he could, the price would not be too high …
Pei Qian could only comfort himself this way.
As he was thinking, he vaguely heard a greeting coming from the office outside.
"Director Zhu is here!"
"Director Zhu, the short video has become popular; are you going to treat us to a meal?"
"Director Zhu, when can you specially create a video segment for me as well?"
Most of the people in the company had participated; for example, Xiao Lu had gotten a lot of screen time. For example, the intern who had spent fifty thousand yuan to create a game in the first episode was played by him.
Although everyone was not being paid much now, they were very passionate!
Money was not important; no matter how high Director Zhu's pay was, it could not be higher than Boss Pei's!
The key was to show their faces!
Who did not want to be a celebrity?
Thus, when they saw Zhu Xiaoce, everyone was very enthusiastic.
They hoped that they could get along well with Director Zhu and get more screen time in the next few episodes or create a separate short video segment, such as A Day in Boss Pei's Life as an Intern.
Zhu Xiaoce hugged the DSLR camera and promised everyone.
"Don't worry! Everyone's screen time will increase in the future!
"In the future, everyone will get a series of short videos!
"However, everyone has to do their job well; otherwise, Boss Pei will not let me off.
