Losing Money to Be a Chapter 174 - Nearing Settlement, a Scare Turned out to be N

Chapter 174 Nearing Settlent, a Scare Turned out to be Nothing

On June 21st, Fei Huang Workspace’s docuntary Coming Out of the Cocoon as a Butterfly was officially released on Aili Island!

As a docuntary, Coming Out of the Cocoon as a Butterfly had not been embedded into any comrcials and had not been entered into any profit-sharing agreents with any sites. If it was based on Aili Island’s ordinary incentive plan-even if the viewership hit a million, inco earned would only be a few thousand; that was peanuts.

Hence, Huang Sibo and Zhu Xiaoce had more or less given up on this idea and had just gone ahead doing sothing they loved without looking forward to gaining from it.

As Fei Huang Workspace had previously released the Boss Pei’s Daily Life series and already had a huge group of fans-once this docuntary was released, it imdiately attracted wide attention!

In the video, Li Zhengwei faced the cara as he talked tirelessly about his life journey over so many years.

“After my dad left, I kicked open the door and ran away. I went to Shanghai alone to start my career proper.

“Coming to think of it, I did not regret this choice. I felt that I had been born to compete online; if I had followed life’s course and went to work, got married, and had kids; I might be living my entire life in great regret.

“I’m not like those second-generation people born with a golden spoon in their mouths. My luck was not so good, and I was born in a rather poor family. However, from another perspective, my luck wasn’t bad. I chose sothing that I liked and had made a na for myself.

“However, I do not recomnd for youngsters to follow in my footsteps.

“After I started my career and beca successful, many people actually asked

regarding this. My answer has always been the sa…

“If you have really decided, then you shouldn’t ask

this question. You would be just like

at the beginning, kicking open the door and living. Also, you would firmly believe without a doubt from then on that this was your dream; and you would fight for it till the end.

“If you need my advice before you can make up your mind, my suggestion would be to first make sure of sothing: Are you afraid of studying and so you want to escape that by doing this; or do you truly understand the price you have to pay by choosing to beco a professional gar?”

Very quickly, a huge number of players started to leave ssages in the comnts section.

“So fast!”

“I was still asking why Fei Huang Workspace had stopped filming Boss Pei’s Daily Life. They actually had this lined-up!”

“This docuntary seems to be very classy; it seems like it was a massive production!”

“It actually is a docuntary about the professional gar I love the most; I must support this!”

“I have not thought that a career gar’s life is so bitter and tough. To kick open the door, leave, and try to be a professional gar. Fortunately, he had managed to gain his parents’ approval after he made it big.”

“Brother Li’s every sentence is so earnest and honest.”

“This docuntary is really aningful. I have a brother whose results aren’t good and is always truant to play gas online; he is also always talking about becoming a professional gar. I feel that Brother Li’s words are very true. My brother isn’t that passionate about gaming, and he also hasn’t thought about whether he has this flair or not; he just wants to escape from studying.”

“Indeed, this docuntary isn’t trying to encourage people to fight on, be passionate, or about eSportsmanship. These thes have been covered so many tis and are actually misdirection for youngsters. Why this docuntary is a gem is because it also portrays the hardship and pain professional gars go through. It also wants us to know that so many people wanted to beco career gars but failed. This docuntary is very objective.”

“I did not think that Fei Huang Workspace could actually produce such realistic and aningful content; I support this!”

The comnts left behind by players were pretty much all positive ones!

Coming Out of the Cocoon as a Butterfly soon beca a new hot topic in the gaming world; it also was featured on the front page of Aili Island and grew even more popular!

June 23rd…

In Fish-Catching Internet Cafe, Pei Qian turned off the docuntary playing on his cell phone as he sipped the coffee in front of him. He finally managed to put his heart at ease.

“Hu… things have finally beco normal for once. It actually really didn’t make money; that’s a an feat!”

Coming Out of the Cocoon as a Butterfly had been launched three days ago. In these three days, Pei Qian had been on tenterhooks.

He was very afraid that Huang Sibo would give him an ominous phone call saying, “Boss Pei, the docuntary has made money!”

Fortunately, nothing of the sorts had happened.

Pei Qian had double- and triple-checked. Although Coming Out of the Cocoon as a Butterfly had more than two million views in just three days and was among the top three most popular videos on the site, it had not brought in much inco.

Based on Aili Island’s incentive plan, this clip would at most bring in thousands of yuan; that was nothing.

This was in-line with Pei Qian’s prediction.

“Not bad, I have learned well from my loss-making experience. This proves that choosing to film docuntaries like this would not make money; this was a good choice.

“I think I can continue injecting money in Fei Huang Workspace.”

Pei Qian suddenly realized that after Fish-Catching Internet Cafe, he seed to have found yet another decent loss-making avenue.

Making films that had rich value but brought in little in monetary benefits!

After experiencing so many failures, Pei Qian now knew sothing: making losses was not as easy as he thought.

The system had many restrictions in place to prevent Pei Qian from maliciously creating losses. For example, the system mandated he could not produce anything of slipshod quality or anything shoddy, the gas he created had to have selling points, etc.

In other words, the products that Pei Qian launched had to be quality ones; he could not purposely make them badly.

However, Pei Qian had realized sothing else: the system actually didn’t only consider ‘quality’ to only an profitability; it also included reputability!

For a docuntary like Coming Out of the Cocoon as a Butterfly-although the probability of it making money was very low, the system had not stopped this.

Also, when Pei Qian had started the Fish-Catching Internet Cafe business, although the chances of losing many were high; the system too didn’t put a stop to this plan.

This ant that ‘reputation’ was a very important benchmark for the system. As long as a gain in reputation could be actualized, the system would recognize products of the sorts and would not think that Pei Qian was purposely trying to make losses.

Pei Qian had vaguely gotten an inkling of this before but had not delved deep into this. The ways of making money from gas and videos were very different.

For gas, if one had a good reputation, that normally ant huge sales. As the system mandated that gas had to have a selling point, the odds of gas with good reputation making losses were very low.

Although historically, there have been gas that were of great quality but of little monetary value; compared to videos and films, they were very few and apart.

However, videos were different. Even if one’s reputation was good and viewership was high, that might still not translate into profits. This docuntary was a case in point.

“Hence, as long as I continue letting Fei Huang Workspace film this kind of clips, I could steadily create losses!”

Pei Qian instantly found a new direction for Fei Huang Workspace.

The next ti he saw Huang Sibo and Zhu Xiaoce, he had to think of a way to bait them into continuing on this docuntary path and not turning back at all. This way, he would have found a steady loss-making source; how good would that be?!

However, Huang Sibo and the others probably wouldn’t be shooting this eSports genre anymore; as for what the they should do next, this still required further discussion.

During the final week before settlent, there couldn’t be any unannounced and unreleased products.

In other words, Pei Qian couldn’t do much now; he could only continue embarking on a spending spree by shopping or increasing benefits and pray that there wouldn’t be any sudden developnts.

Pei Qian looked at the System Funds; it was still in a state of losses.

“I have done more or less everything I could. The only problem now is how to maintain the existing state of losses.”
