NOVEL SIMPLE Chapter 142
Chapter 141 Start Of A New Project
Zhang Yan did have some free time. Seeing that Shen Enci was looking for him for something serious, he took Shen Enci to his office and asked him what work he wanted to report to him.
So, Zhang Yan asked Shen Enci, it’s okay to do this, but are you sure.
Because a short video is only a few minutes of content, it can’t burn a million dollars unless it is based on Shen Enci’s idea to make the video quality to a very high level.
In theory, his idea should be fine, but the quality of the video made is still unknown, and it is difficult to know if you don’t try it.
Especially special effects.
So, there’s no harm in trying one.
As a result, what Shen Enci never expected was that Zhang Yan agreed directly and doubled the budget!
As for how to publicize, Shen Enci also has his own ideas, that is, to keep up with the trend and to use short videos.
That is, so many publicity channels can’t be wasted like this. Before the game is officially launched, I have to promote the game with a “seven-nine-seven” contribution.
Zhang Yan’s eyes lit up as soon as he heard that he was burning money.
“For example, character portraits and weapon appearances, the studios we work with have already produced a lot of finished products. When I shoot live-action dramas, I just need to ask the props team to find actors to do makeup according to these portraits and weapon appearances. After customizing some costumes and props, we can start shooting.”
“How much budget do you need to make this short video?” Zhang Yan asked Shen Enci directly.
Shen Enci thought for a while, but didn’t say too much, saying that with his estimation of his own ability, he was 40% sure that he could make things happen.
Having said that, Zhang Yan patted Shen Enci’s shoulder.
Otherwise, how could it be possible to let him do what he wanted to do?
Although the company has more than half of the employees than before, Zhang Yan did not pay such a big expense as the rent of the office building this month. Zhang Yan let it go, and counting the bonus pool at the end of the month, there should still be a lot of startup funds left.
However, Zhang Yan is not stupid, of course he also knows how difficult this kind of reverse promotion is.
“So, I discussed it with the people in the media department, can I think in reverse and use video to bring fire to the game?”
“So short videos and games, I feel there is a mutual influence relationship.
“However, once the video can be made, it can not only play an advertising role for our game, but also directly create an IP that belongs to our own shrimp game.”5
What does it mean?
He knew that there was still a large amount of venture capital in the company that could not be spent.
At the same time, Shen Enci had another concern.
That is, if you want to use video to bring fire to the game, it must require the quality of the video to be absolutely excellent.
Shen Enci thought about it for a while, and said with some embarrassment: “Boss Zhang, to be honest, if you follow the standard I expect, the cost of one episode will be one million if you add things such as costumes, actors, special effects, etc. Around… 0”
Shen Enci was stunned.
Doesn’t this mean that Zhang Yan fully affirmed Shen Enci’s character and ability?!
“This series of short dramas can sign contracts with some platforms and enjoy traffic sharing. Coupled with taking over advertising, there may be a lot of profit at that time…”
Moreover, Zhang Yan still felt that the budget of one million per episode was too low.
Special effects are the things that can keep fans the most, but they are also the most expensive.
Shen Enci smiled slightly and shared his thoughts in general.
(Sorry, the order of the chapters is wrong, it has been revised now, I am really sorry! The previous chapter has been uploaded, you can just read the 140th chapter)
Zhang Yan listened to Shen Enci’s plan and felt that it was indeed a good idea.
“I believe that with your ability you can definitely do it! 99
Shen Enci’s ability is excellent, and now the publicity channels are basically ready, so the work of the media department is also free.
“Once our short video is popular and has gathered a certain number of fans, won’t the game become popular before it comes out? When the game is officially launched on the market, there will definitely be a large group of fans lining up to experience it!”
“My idea is that our media department is idle and idle now, and we simply set up a crew to shoot short videos about our games. Although our games have not yet formed, the game background and concept are relatively mature.”
He said he came to discuss it with himself, but he actually wanted to ask Zhang Yan if he could agree to give him so much budget to start the project.
Of course Zhang Yan would not let go of the opportunity to spend the venture fund, because even if Shen Enci’s project failed, Zhang Yan would still have a systematic settlement amount in the end, and he would never lose money.
And which of these things doesn’t cost money?
Since Shen Enci came to You Shrimp Games, he has been leading the media department and preparing for the promotion channels of the game in the future.
Shen Enci is not a master who can sit still. Seeing that everyone who has shrimp games is working overtime every day, only their media department has nothing to do all day long. As a minister, he is very anxious.
Special effects, serving the Tao, copywriting, and pulling one’s hips will all persuade people to quit.
“Boss Zhang, you also know that short video is the mainstream of the media now, and if we want to advertise, short video will definitely be the main battlefield.
Shen Enci said his thoughts, calm as he was, and he was slightly uncontrollable excited.
Zhang Yan was also interested when he heard it, and asked Shen Enci to talk about it in detail.
But if you want to make a short video to become popular, and then drive a game that no one has heard of, it is dozens of times more difficult.
“Well, Minister Shen, I’ll give you a budget of two million for one episode, and you give me a good control over the quality of the short video! Strive to make this short video a hit!”
So, after several days of preparations by their media department and communication with the company’s planning department, Shen Enci had an idea.
Zhang Yan waved his hand, interrupting Shen Enci’s words, and said, “Since this is the case, let’s try to shoot three episodes first.
Originally, Zhang Yan still had a headache, where the money was spent, but now, Shen Enci directly brought the opportunity.
“As long as the short dramas we shoot are excellent in copywriting and full of special effects, and I still have ready-made media promotion channels, I will definitely be popular on short video platforms. 35
Originally, he thought that even if his idea was approved by 0.6 Zhang Yan, the cost of shooting one million yuan per episode would definitely be rejected.
Shen Enci admired Zhang Yan, the boss, and at the same time was more grateful for the kindness of encounter.
“In the field of short videos now, there is a phenomenon, that is, a game is popular, and the short video clips of this game will also be popular. For example, the League of Kings is an example. How many anchors have they supported over the years? Some are worth hundreds of millions of dollars. Not a lot.
When a game is popular, the streamers rub the heat and make videos casually. As long as the quality is not bad, it is easy to make a small hit.
Zhang Yan could see that Shen Enci was very ambitious and wanted to put his ideas into practice and make things happen.
