Pei Qian knew that it was time to film the next episode.
He had prepared a total of three episodes before the New Year, and they had all been released.
If he wanted the fourth episode to be released within three days, he would have to make use of these two days.
However, for a film like Boss Pei's Daily Life, after the script was written, the filming, editing, dubbing, etc. would all be completed within a few hours. It was especially suitable for a high-production model!
Thus, there was no problem in terms of time. In fact, there was plenty of time.
Pei Qian had no choice. He had already signed the contract. Since he could not afford to pay the penalty fee, he had to film honestly.
In any case, he would have to suffer the same fate. Stretching his neck would reduce the pain.
Before long, the fourth episode was successfully filmed.
Zhu Xiaoce hugged the DSLR camera and looked at it before giving an 'OK' gesture.
"Perfect! Boss Pei's acting skills are still on point. That's great!
"Indeed, a game designer who doesn't want to be a movie king is not a good boss!
"That's right, Boss Pei. Brother Huang asked me to ask you about the video commercial collaboration. What do you think …"
Zhu Xiaoce looked at the guest room beside him.
Pei Qian instantly understood that they wanted to speak to him privately.
It would have been fine if it was something else. Pei Qian would probably wave his hand and let Zhu Xiaoce and Huang Sibo handle it as they see fit.
However, upon hearing that it was a commercial collaboration, Pei Qian perked up.
"Come to the guest room."
Video commercial collaboration was also commonly known as sponsored partnerships.
Pei Qian had to be concerned about this!
If Huang Sibo and Zhu Xiaoce had not mentioned it, Pei Qian would have been too embarrassed to ask.
After all, the one million yuan was Pei Qian's investment. He had already said that he would not interfere with anything. Now that the video was released and it was popular, it would not be appropriate for them to criticize him.
That would easily destroy his image.
If he lost his morale, it would be difficult to lead the team!
However, now that Zhu Xiaoce had brought it up, Pei Qian had room to perform.
After entering the guest room, Pei Qian listened intently.
Zhu Xiaoce was slightly excited. "Boss Pei, our team received our first advertisement the day before yesterday! Hehe, that means we can do sponsored partnerships now! "
"…"
F * ck, that was way too fast!
Pei Qian had thought that it would take another two to three weeks or even a month to receive a sponsored partnership.
In the end, it had only been aired for a few days and they had received a sponsored partnership?!
Pei Qian's expression remained calm. "Yes, what's the price?"
Zhu Xiaoce said, "It's an advertisement for an online clothing store. They hope that we can do product placement for their new T-shirts."
"We have to arrange for the supporting actors to say a line of advertising slogans and even have to wear their clothes. But I think the audience should be able to understand this, so it shouldn't be a big problem."
After a moment of silence, he asked, "What's the price?"
"Five thousand yuan! Well, it really isn't much, but this is just the beginning, the first step. "Zhu Xiaoce said.
F * ck!
Five thousand for the first time???
Pei Qian was confused.
Why did he give so much?
Although Pei Qian did not have a clear understanding of the price of a UP Master's sponsored partnerships, he still had some understanding.
In the year 2010, most people looked down on video creators and even viewed those who made videos for a living as a disgrace.
Most popular UP Masters basically had their own main profession. There were very few who worked full-time.
Pei Qian still remembered that he had once watched a video by Factory Manager Ao. In the video, he looked back at the beginning of his sponsored partnerships. In 2011, he only had about a hundred thousand views per video. Then, he received a sponsored partnership advertisement from League of Legends. That was how he started his journey.
How much did Factory Manager Ao receive for the sponsored partnership?
A thousand yuan.
That's right, such an important game, such a huge company … it was only a thousand yuan!
Although Boss Pei's Daily Life had five hundred thousand views, it had only been a few days since it became popular! Who could be sure that the creator of this series would not run out of ideas and be buried in the long river of history?
Thus, a price of five thousand yuan was a reasonable price; it could even be considered generous.
Of course, this was based on the standard of an ordinary UP Master's sponsored partnership.
If the IP of the series, exclusive broadcasting, and the like were taken into account, it would be a completely different matter.
Pei Qian pondered for a moment.
"My suggestion is … to reject it."
Zhu Xiaoce was surprised.
Boss Pei had invested the money.
Boss Pei should be more eager than anyone else to recoup his capital and make a profit, right?
"I don't really understand; please enlighten me, Boss Pei." Zhu Xiaoce was very humble.
After all, no matter how talented he was, he was only a fourth-year university student.
He had to listen to Boss Pei's suggestion.
Pei Qian pondered for a moment and said, "The most important thing in entrepreneurship is to have a long-term vision!
"Indeed, it's a $5,000 sponsored partnership. It looks good."
"As long as we do a little placement in the next episode, we would be able to get five thousand yuan. Where else in the world can we find such a good thing?
"However, you have to consider that for the placement of this T-shirt, we would either have to be very stiff or we would have to adjust the plot. Would we still be able to have the same effect as the original show?
"That would be ruining our own reputation."
Pei Qian's expression was a little pained; it was as if he could foresee the result of his reputation collapsing.
"What if the person who comes to you for sponsored partnerships is for cosmetics, shower gel, or shampoo? If you create for the sake of sponsored partnerships, how would you be able to bring out your best?
"If a big IP dies because of a lot of five thousand yuan, wouldn't it be a loss?"
Zhu Xiaoce was stunned.
Indeed, once Boss Pei spoke, his vision changed!
My focus is on the five thousand yuan.
Boss Pei's focus is on the value of the IP of this series!
Could this … be the difference in the landscape …
Pei Qian paused for a moment before continuing in a serious tone, "You and Huang Sibo, don't feel any pressure!
It's only a million yuan. So what if we lose it all?
That's a small problem!
"To achieve great things, we would rather have nothing than have something shoddy. Either we become popular or we lose everything to earn our reputation. Don't let our reputation collapse before we earn much money. That's the stupidest thing, understand? "
Zhu Xiaoce nodded vigorously. "Alright, Boss Pei, I understand!"
Pei Qian sipped his tea calmly and said meaningfully, "How about this? If you're willing to listen to me, why don't you set a standard for this series of sponsored partnerships?
"Advertisement placement? That's too stiff; don't play that game.
"If we're going to take on it, we'll take on high-end customization!
"A hundred thousand yuan for a sponsored partnership! However, it's not an exorbitant price. Other content creators do brainless advertisement placement, but you can do high-end customization.
"For a short video, from the beginning to the end, we have to ensure the quality of the product. Everything revolves around the sponsored partnerships of the sponsor.
"This way, on one hand, we can ensure the audience's experience; on the other hand, we can ensure the effectiveness of the advertisement; and we can preserve the reputation of the video. It's killing three birds with one stone."
Zhu Xiaoce looked troubled. "However, Boss Pei, aren't these requirements a little too high? It's already not easy for people to approach us for sponsored partnerships; we have to revolve around the product to complete the video. This … "
Pei Qian shook his head gently as he sipped his tea. He looked at Zhu Xiaoce with a gaze full of trust. "I believe in your talent; you have to believe in yourself as well."
Zhu Xiaoce opened his mouth, but he did not say anything.
Boss Pei's gaze had explained everything!
