Losing Money to Be a Tycoon Chapter 1394 - January 13th Safely Past!

Chapter 1394: January 13th Safely Past!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

January 11th, Friday…

Fei Huang Works.p.a.ce, animation production team.

Huang Sibo and Wu Chuan were busy with the release of the ‘Executer Academy’.

The situation with ‘Successor’ was basically the same. It would be done this weekend. However, the ratings and views of this episode were indescribable.

Based on the current situation, the failure of ‘Successor’ was almost certain. It would not be able to recoup the initial investment based on the number of views and ratings.

Of course, not every episode of ‘Successor’ was particularly bad. The number of views and bullet screen comments increased when Lu Zhiyao and a few other movie kings appeared later on as well.

However, overall, it did not affect the ratings of the entire series.

Even if there was a fluctuation in the ratings, it would basically be 0.1 or 0.2. The ratings would always be around 6.0.

That could not be helped. At this stage, the ratings for ‘Successor’ could no longer be considered fair or objective. It had become a battlefield for two groups of people.

Some gave high marks brainlessly while others gave low marks mindlessly.

The more the original party wanted to pull back the ratings, the more the haters wanted to pull back the ratings.

Thus, ‘Successor’ became a C-shaped rating of one star and five stars. That was commonly known as the standard marketing lousy film ratings.

Ordinary lousy movies had L-shaped ratings, which was a large number of one-star bad reviews. However, marketing bad movies had many five stars because of the existence of fake reviewers. However, this could not change the fact that they were bad.

Therefore, this C-shaped rating has been ridiculed for the longest period.

Huang Sibo no longer cared about ‘Successor’. He had been helping Wu Chuan arrange for ‘Executer Academy’ recently.

That was because he already had a rough idea after looking for Meng Chang the last time.

Whether ‘Successor’ became popular or not actually had nothing to do with the publicity team. It all depended on the results of the election at Yuklaia.

Thus, worrying was useless. He just had to wait.

Instead of worrying about this, he might as well think about how to make the Executer Academy good.

Even if ‘Successor’ failed, as long as’ Executer Academy ‘succeeded, Zhongdian Chinese Network’s inspiration cla.s.s would have two successes and one failure. It sounded quite pa.s.sable.

Copyright adaptation was a high risk after all. It was good enough that the success rate was more than 60%.

However, if the Executer Academy failed as well and only had a 30% success rate, that would be a little unreasonable.

The authors could not ask for anything better than to be able to adapt. Even if the adaptation failed, the inspiration cla.s.s would still be very attractive to them. However, to the outside world, this was undoubtedly a huge blow to the inspiration cla.s.s and Fei Huang Works.p.a.ce.

They had already agreed to work with Aili Island. The first episode would be broadcasted tonight.

Huang Sibo was obviously still a little worried. “The broadcast strategy that we set should be alright, right? You’ve confirmed it with Boss Pei, right?”

Wu Chuan nodded. “Don’t worry, Brother Huang. Boss Pei made it very clear.”

“Boss Pei said that as long as the quality of the videos reached this level, it would be enough. We have to broadcast it as soon as possible. Speed is the main reason.”

“Boss Pei also said that we have to calculate based on the total number of views and the total number of views.”

“Doesn’t that mean that Boss Pei had already planned it when he finalized this production method?”

“What’s more, this method of production would slow down when making materials in the beginning. However, once the materials are almost done, the speed would be very fast. It’s obviously our unique advantage to have a lot of food.”

“One episode a day, use diarrhea-style updates to pave the way!”

Huang Sibo nodded. “Yes, it’s good that Boss Pei agreed.”

When he had first started planning this project, Wu Chuan had inspected many animation companies and reported to Boss Pei.

In the end, Boss Pei was not satisfied at all. He proposed to make it using game modeling, motion capture, and instantaneous calculation.

Wu Chuan was a little confused, but he still strictly followed Boss Pei’s instructions and formed a team to poach people to start the production of Executer Academy.

He had to admit that it was very difficult to start from the beginning.

That was because even though the game modeling in GOG was very detailed, it was very difficult to use it directly in the production of animations. After forming a team, Wu Chuan, in addition to letting the scriptwriter team spend time changing the script, he also organized people to make major changes to the models and various art resources required in the animation.

Of course, the gaming department and GOG project team had also helped a little.

After completing most of the resources, Wu Chuan began to work on the animation.

It was much simpler with these resources. In any case, they were all instantaneous calculations. They would use action actors to make motion capture. An episode would only be ten minutes. In a day, they would link motion capture to the later stages of the production. If they were fast, they could make more than one episode. If they were slow, they could also make an episode.

Based on this calculation, seven episodes would be released on a five-day working day. As long as everyone was more efficient, there should not be a problem.

It was also because of this that Wu Chuan decided to follow Boss Pei’s instructions and update with diarrhea-style!

Boss Pei’s positioning of ‘Executer Academy’ was quite accurate. It was just a video to eat. There was no need to make it so detailed. The most important thing was to fill it up.

One episode a week, strived for perfection, and still seven episodes a week to guarantee the basic quality. Obviously, he should choose the latter.

Filming had been ongoing while discussing cooperation and early publicity with the Aili Island website. They had already filmed three episodes.

Wu Chuan decided to release one episode a day from the premiere of Executer Academy. The number of updates would be maximised!

Shouldn’t online authors be uploading daily chapters?

Of course, he had to create this style as an online literature comic!

When many dramas were released weekly or even monthly, anime that could maintain daily updates would definitely surprise the audience!

January 13th, Sunday night…

Pei Qian had dark circles under his eyes as he swiped his cell phone and yawned.

“I’ll wait until midnight on the 14th! I don’t believe that something will happen on the 13th. It’s obviously almost over on the 13th. What happened?”

“I feel that there’s something wrong with Young Master Tian’s speech, which is like a scammer. Nothing big happened on the 13th. I’ve been waiting the entire day.”

“Forget it, netizens will scold him for me.”

Pei Qian scrolled through Aili Island’s website and saw that the ratings for ‘Successor’ was still around 6.0. He relaxed.

The last two episodes of ‘Successor’ had been broadcasted yesterday Sat.u.r.day.

The information volume of these two episodes could be said to be very large. The last episode ended the public safety event that Phil had created previously. The second episode ended in detail about Phil reaching the peak of superhero power.

The entire public safety event took about two and a half episodes to describe, taking up a rather important part of the entire episode.

That was the most deranged thing Phil had ever done. This public safety incident had caused a large number of commoners to die, and Phil had used this opportunity to pull down the superheroes who had been at the top and successfully take over.

In the previous episode, the audience had just seen Phil use a plot to cause a large number of commoners to die. He had gotten rid of many superheroes in the way of disgrace, and his hands were covered in blood.

In the next episode, Phil had already announced his victory under the protection of a large number of supporters and people. He vowed to all the people in a sanctimonious manner that he would fulfill his duty and take the throne that symbolized the highest power of superheroes.

This contrast successfully continued the ‘discomfort’ that ‘Successor’ had brought to the audience previously. It could also be said to be the highest peak in the entire ‘Successor’ story.

Did Phil win? He won, and he won quite thoroughly.

If he looked at the problem from Phil’s perspective, from the perspective of a winner and loser, he had eliminated dissidents, deceived the people, and successfully seized the power that belonged to superheroes.

However, if one stood from the perspective of a bystander and looked at the problem from a purely utilitarian point of view of the winner and loser, Phil would be a complete rubbish chicken without any virtues that people would like or appreciate.

All in all, there was no bad ending. This ending could be said to be one and the same. It was in line with most viewers’ expectations.

However, it was precisely because of this that the polarization of the comments of ‘Successor’ did not change at all. Those who accepted the core of this story gave it high ratings, while those who did not could not wait to give it negative ratings.

Now that the entire episode had been broadcasted and had been fermenting all day on Sunday, Pei Qian felt that the ratings should be more or less settled, right?

Even if there had been some discussion when the last episode was released and the audience had argued a little more, the popularity had obviously decreased now. The publicity resources for ‘Successor’ on Eric Island’s website would definitely be removed. There should not be a large number of new viewers entering in the future.

Under such circ.u.mstances, could ‘Successor’ still make a comeback?

It should be impossible, right?

The only change was Young Master Tian’s worrying divine prediction.

Thus, Pei Qian waited until midnight on the 14th.

He scrolled through the ratings of ‘Successor’, as well as the comments and news online. He did not find any changes.

On Aili Island’s website, Young Master Tian’s prediction was still hanging. Many people went to dig graves after midnight and mocked Young Master Tian. However, Young Master Tian did not know if he was sleeping or pretending not to see it. In short, he did not respond.

He seemed to be playing dead.

“Sigh, a false alarm.”

“Didn’t I say that with such a huge advantage, how can we turn the tables in a day? That’s impossible.”

“I might have been on tenterhooks today but it was worth it to see Young Master Tian fail!”

Pei Qian went to bed satisfied.
