On June 21st, the documentary film "Broken Cocoon and Become a Butterfly" by Feihuang Studio was officially released on the Elli Island website!
As a documentary, "Broken Cocoon Becomes a Butterfly" did not implant any advertisements, nor did it get any special sharing agreement from any website.
If it is estimated according to the regular incentive plan of Elli Island, even if the number of broadcasts exceeds one million, the income is only a few thousand yuan, which can be described as a drop in the bucket.
Therefore, Huang Sibo and Zhu Xiaoce almost gave up this idea, and regarded it as generating electricity with love.
Since Feihuang Studio has previously released the series of short videos "Mr. Pei's Daily Life", and already has a large number of fans, this documentary immediately attracted widespread attention once it was released!
In the video, Li Zhengwei, facing the camera, explained his mental journey for so many years.
"After my dad left, I kicked the door open, ran to the magic capital alone, and started my career."
"Looking back now, I don't regret this choice. I think that I was born for e-sports. If I go out to work, get married and have children step by step, I am afraid that my whole life will be spent in regret."
"I'm not like the second generation who was born with a golden spoon. I was born into a poor family. I was born into a poor family. But from another point of view, my luck is also good. I chose a career that I liked. And made a name for it.”
"But I don't advise kids to follow my path."
"After I became famous, a lot of people would ask me about my career."
"My answer is all the same:"
"If you had really made up your mind, then you wouldn't have come to ask me this question. You will just kick the door and leave just like me, and you will always believe in it in the future. This is my dream, and I will It fights for life."
"If you need my advice to make up your mind, then my advice is to first figure out one thing: Are you trying to avoid learning because you are afraid of learning, or do you really understand the price of choosing to be a pro? "
…
Soon, a large number of player comments appeared in the comment area of the video.
"sofa!"
"I also said, why didn't Feihuang Studio make "The Daily Life of President Pei"? It turned out to be a big move!"
"This documentary looks very grand, big production!"
"It turned out to be my favorite professional player's documentary, must support!"
"I didn't expect the life of a professional player to be so hard... It's too miserable to kick the door and play professionally. Fortunately, my parents approved it after I got my grades."
"Brother Li's every sentence is very sincere."
"This documentary is really meaningful. I have a younger brother who has bad grades in school. He skips classes every day to play games online, and even shouts that he wants to play a career. I think Brother Li is right, he doesn't really love it, nor I didn't think about whether I have this talent or not, but just to escape."
"Yes, this documentary is not only advocating the spirit of blood, struggle, and e-sports, which have been filmed badly. For young people, this is misleading. The valuable thing about this documentary is that it also reflects The hardships and sadness of this industry, especially when we know that there are so many professional players who haven’t played yet, can be said to be very objective.”
"I didn't expect Feihuang Studio to produce such realistic content, support!"
The player comments below the video are simply rave reviews!
"Breaking a Cocoon into a Butterfly" quickly entered the hot list of the game division, and then went to the homepage of Ellie Island, and the popularity remained high!

…
June 23.
In Moyu Internet Cafe, Pei Qian turned off the documentary video on his mobile phone, took a sip of the coffee in front of him, and temporarily let go of his dangling heart.
"Huh... the style of painting is finally normal again."
"It's really not easy to make money!"
"Breaking a Cocoon into a Butterfly" has been released for three days. During these three days, Pei Qian was trembling with fear.
For fear that Huang Sibo suddenly made a phone call without warning and said, "Mr. Pei, the documentary has made money again!"
Fortunately, a similar scenario did not happen.
Pei Qian confirmed again and again that although "Broken Cocoon Becomes a Butterfly" has achieved nearly 2 million views in three days, ranking among the top three in the rankings of the entire station, it did not bring much profit.
If calculated according to the incentive plan, the income brought by this video is only a few thousand yuan, which is a drop in the bucket.
This is completely in line with Pei Qian's previous estimates.
"Yes, I have gained valuable experience about losses."
"It turns out that making this kind of documentary that doesn't make money is really a good choice."
"I feel like I can continue to invest in Feihuang Studio."
Pei Qian suddenly found that after touching the fish Internet cafe, he seemed to have found a good way to lose money.
That is to make a movie that is popular but not popular!
After so many failures, Pei Qian has realized a problem, that the loss is not as simple as he thought.
The system has many restrictions to prevent Pei Qian from maliciously making losses. For example, the system stipulates that it cannot be shoddy or shoddy, and that the game must have a profit point, etc.
In other words, the products launched by Pei Qian must be of high quality and cannot be deliberately smashed.
But now Pei Qian realizes one thing: in the system's judgment rules, "high quality" obviously not only refers to making money, but also includes word of mouth!
For a documentary like "Broken Cocoon into a Butterfly", the possibility of recovering the cost is very low, but the system has not stopped it.
Including Pei Qian opening Moyu Internet Cafe, the possibility of loss is very high, and the system has not stopped it.
This shows that "word of mouth" is also a very important indicator in the system's judgment. As long as enough and good enough word of mouth can be obtained, the system will also recognize this product and will not think that this is Pei Qian's intentional loss.
Pei Qian also vaguely felt this before, but did not dig deeply, mainly because the profit methods of games and film and television were different.
In the field of games, creating a good reputation often means high sales. Under the premise that the system mandates that profit points must be added, the possibility of losing money in high-reputation games is extremely small.
Although there are games that have been popular and not popular in history, compared with movies, the number is much smaller.
But the video is different. No matter how good the word of mouth and the high number of broadcasts, it may still not be realized, such as this documentary.
"So, as long as I continue to let Feihuang Studio shoot these unpopular films, I can make steady losses!"
Pei Qian instantly found the future development direction of Feihuang Studio.
See you next time Huang Sibo and Zhu Xiaoce, find a way to fool them and let them never return on the way to the documentary, so that there will be an extra hole for stable losses, how great!
It's just that Huang Sibo and the others shouldn't shoot e-sports again next time. What to shoot will have to be discussed again.
There is one final week left until settlement, and there can be no more unreleased products.
In other words, Pei Qian can't do much now, so he can only spend money while praying that things won't change.
Pei Qian looked at the system funds and was currently at a loss.
"It's almost done. The question now is how to maintain this loss-making state."
