Losing Money to Be a Tycoon

Chapter 1402: But It Doesn’t Matter, You Can Be Forgiven

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

You don’t want it, I insist on it!

Boss Pei was just that wilful.

Of course, there was a reason for this wilfulness. After comprehensive consideration, it was indeed the smallest improvement to GOG project.

It was already very profitable. If he spent 10 million yuan on it, the improvement would be negligible.

Thus, the matter was happily decided.

As for whether the other departments would feel confused and lost after knowing this outcome, that was not something Pei Qian had to consider.

Boss Pei never needed to explain his actions to anyone!

After all, the system was not considered human.

Pei Qian might have been more restrained if there were some particularly suspicious operations. However, this money could be spent in any industry. Pei Qian believed that his subordinates, who were good at diverting their thoughts, would definitely be able to imagine a reasonable answer.

Pei Qian sent a message to GOG’s project team, and then the matter turned over.

“Let me take a look at the situation at the Aili Island website next. I wonder how ‘Successor’ and ‘Executer Academy’ are doing…”

Pei Qian carefully opened the webpage for ‘Successor’.

However, Pei Qian closed the page after it flashed past.

What the f*ck, 9.7 points!

The rate at which the ratings were increasing was like a rocket.

The ratings for ‘Successor’ had been hovering around 6.0 last weekend before the results of the Ukiah election were released. However, after this weekend, the ratings suddenly skyrocketed!

Obviously, various media hype and added fuel to the fire played a key role in this process.

‘Successor’ had already spent a lot of money on publicity previously. The response might not be enthusiastic but it was familiar in front of most people.

Many people might not be interested in this theme at all and did not go to the Aili Island website to watch it, but they knew that such a series existed.

In the end, after what happened last weekend, all sorts of public accounts, UP Masters, and self-media rushed forward like wolves that had smelled meat!

Not many people had been paying attention to Yuklaia at first, but they had been spamming the news on Sunday and Monday. They were all discussing it!

Every video or article that mentioned this would inevitably mention ‘Successor’ because the two were too similar.

‘Successor’ was originally a book from a year ago. It could not be said to be riding on popularity. It could only be said to be a divine prediction.

Coupled with the debate caused by ‘Successor’ when it was first broadcast on the internet and the hot topic of 6 points to 9 points, it was simply the best material for explosive articles and videos.

All in all, the popularity that he had spent money on previously had now completely changed. It caused the best spread effect!

Naturally, more people came to watch ‘Successor’.

Perhaps many people did not like this theme and felt that the plot was not particularly satisfying, but that did not stop them from giving full marks.

That was because many people’s previous evaluation criteria had been based on the standards of good novels or popcorn blockbusters. It was normal for an unhappy drama like ‘Successor’ to get 6 points. However, if they were to use the standard of ‘magical realism that prophesied reality’ to evaluate it, they should get full marks!

Many people who had not watched the entire episode and had not even watched it were willing to give it full marks purely for the effect of the program.

The original low scores had been changed to high scores, and those who had not come to watch had been given high scores. Of course, the ratings for ‘Successor’ could not be controlled anymore. It took off on the spot!

On top of that, the contract signed between ‘Successor’ and Aili Island was based on ratings and views. Looking at the current situation…

“On the bright side, there’s not much room for this rating to continue rising…”

“Bullsh * t! How can you comfort yourself like that? It’s already GG!”

“Forget it, forget it. I’ll take a look at the Executer Academy.”

Pei Qian had completely given up on ‘Successor’.

Everything had been fine when he first came out. No matter how he looked at it, he did not look like he was going to become popular. Why did something happen after he changed it to a drama series?

‘Executer Academy’ should be much better. After all, its quality was there. No matter how high the upper limit was, it could not be as high as’ Successor ‘.

However, when Pei Qian opened the webpage for Executer Academy, he was stunned once again.

It had a rating of 9.3. It was considered above average in the web series. It was slightly higher than what Pei Qian had expected, but not by much. It was completely acceptable.

However, what was with the viewership?!

It had only been broadcasting for a few days. How did it reach tens of millions of views?!

Pei Qian felt incredulous. The number of views was much higher than he had imagined.

Logically speaking, even if GOG’s gamers came to support, the limit would be one million people chasing after them, right?

The number of people watching had to be accumulated as well. It was impossible for an ordinary animation to attract tens of millions of viewers watching the drama after the first episode was released. That was impossible.

According to the updating efficiency of ‘Executer Academy’, they would release one episode a month. Perhaps they had released two or three episodes because they had saved up previously. The number of views would only be about two million yuan.

Why was there an additional zero!

Pei Qian felt that something was very wrong. He must have missed something very important.

He quickly switched to the option of chasing the number of people. He realized that there were more than 1.7 million people chasing Executer Academy. This was more than Pei Qian had expected.

Even so, wouldn’t two or three episodes only get five million views?

Why was there an entire order of difference?

Pei Qian quickly opened the series’ list and was stunned.

Six episodes had been broadcasted since Saturday!

Daily updates???

If it was two or three episodes, it could be said that they were released together because they had stocks. The beginning was to let everyone watch more.

However, what did updating everyday for six consecutive days mean?

It showed that this was the normal updating speed!

That was because, according to common sense, if one did not have any stocks in the future and only made two episodes a month, then the audience’s taste would be picky with the six episodes in the beginning. It would definitely not be appropriate for the updates to be slow.

Huang Sibo and Wu Chuan would definitely not make such a low-level mistake.

Pei Qian had a bad feeling about this.

Obviously, the rapid updating speed had become a reason for many people to chase after them.

Initially, Pei Qian had already expected a million people to catch up. Now, it was 70% higher than his estimated number. This was obviously an advantage brought about by the large number of updates.

The other dramas were one episode a week or even one episode a month. They were updated slowly and would definitely be less sticky.

While there were many more overseas dramas bought by Aili Island, many people had already watched them through other means.

Only ‘Executer Academy’ was very punctual. Watching it every day could cultivate habit and improve stickiness. Those who liked to watch it after taking care of themselves would definitely watch it in large quantities. It would be much better than other comics!

According to current trends, there would definitely be more and more people watching similar videos. These people would probably watch more videos than other dramas.

Considering the frequency of ‘Executer Academy’ being updated…

The number of views was going to explode!

Pei Qian quickly opened the comments section of Executer Academy and checked the netizens’ comments.

“People who don’t normally chase videos are attracted by GOG’s recommendations. I didn’t expect it to be so interesting. I can’t stop watching it at all!”

“I’m uploading even more chapters each day! This is an eye-opener for me! What sort of divine workspace is this? Do they work overtime for seven to four hours a week?”

“A product of Fei Huang Workspace’s animation team, working overtime? What are you thinking about! They work five days a week and work eight hours a week. They would need Boss Pei’s approval for an additional hour.”

“Huh? I thought they were working overtime like me! I felt mentally balanced watching ‘Executer Academy’ when I was working overtime. Now, I realize that the clown is actually me!”

“F*ck, in other words, we’re not doing seven episodes in seven days, but seven episodes in five days? This is completely breaking the human limit and subverting the objective laws of the industry, right? Are you really not bragging?”

“Actually, this is not very difficult to talk about. That’s because ‘Executer Academy’ has a ready-made copy. You don’t have to think about the plot again. What’s more, the format itself is very suitable for short animations, so it’s easy to obtain materials. What’s more, ‘Executer Academy’ is made using real-time calculations. Once there’s a model, you just have to hire motion capture actors to perform movements. An episode of 10 minutes would be enough to record and edit it.”

“That’s right. This approach can be said to have advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that it is done quickly. The disadvantage is that quality and details might not be able to be done to the extreme. At first glance, the quality might be good, but you will be able to find a clear difference in the details when you compare it with those large works. However, how should I put it? There is such a huge amount of updates. Why would you still need it?”

“It’s not impossible for other animations to be learned, but there are two prerequisites. First, there has to be a million words like ‘Executer Academy’ that is suitable for animation. Second, there has to be a high precision model, a special motion capture studio, and a large number of professional talents in sorting, movement, editing, and so on.”

“Let me add something else. The theme itself has to be very famous. If ‘Executer Academy’ was not based on GOG but an original story, would everyone be so tolerant of its quality? Would they have gained so much attention in the beginning? That’s hard to say.”

The comments section was filled with lively discussions about the successful model of ‘Executer Academy’.

Everyone had different opinions. Some people felt that the quality of ‘Executer Academy’ was actually not good. It only became popular because of the large number of updates. Some people felt that the quality of ‘Executer Academy’ was actually very good. The key was that the plot was very interesting. It also made the hero character model in GOG more detailed. It was worth watching for GOG players.

However, at the end of the day, everyone had reached a consensus on one thing: the Executer Academy would definitely become popular because it was much more popular!

The details were a little worse, but it did not matter. He could forgive them if they updated daily.

The transition was not that smooth, but it did not matter. Daily updates could be forgivable.

Some plots were slightly less interesting, but it did not matter. He could forgive them for updating daily.

All in all, he could forgive them!

For many people, watching an episode at lunch and dinner every day was enough.

Looking at the entire Aili Island website, there was only one such animation that updated daily. What was there to be dissatisfied about?
