Chapter 1
Jiang Qi has a little problem that many people have - every time he tries something new, he can't help but pay too much attention to the results of this thing.
When Old John first started live streaming, Jiang Qi, who had difficulty waking up early, set the alarm before 6 a.m. for several days in a row in order to keep an eye on the data and daily growth of Old John's live streaming room and enter Old John's room on time.
Although he doesn't listen to the live broadcast content at all, he is willing to stay in the live broadcast room for a whole morning and occasionally check the popularity of the live broadcast room. This is in stark contrast to Liu Lan, who uses the live broadcast room as a sleeping pill and falls asleep within two minutes of clicking on the live broadcast.
Now it is Wang Erya's turn to be the up host and post videos, and the same is true for Jiang Qi.
Although he knew it was unnecessary, he just couldn't control his hands. He had to click on the videos on all platforms every 3 to 5 minutes to see if there was any change in the number of views and whether there were any comments or comments that were not suspected to be from a fake.
"Jiang Qi, if you keep clicking like this, all the views of Qinghe Video will be contributed by you." Liu Lan, who could have sat in the air-conditioned lobby, enjoyed herself, ate braised food, drank milk tea, and played with her phone, and lived a happy working life like Orange who was playing board games on CC, finally couldn't bear it anymore and complained after witnessing how Jiang Qi was restless for the past hour or two, with his hands glued to his phone.
November 26th is Tuesday, which is theoretically not the busiest day of the week, but today's business is exceptionally good. The place is full in the afternoon and evening, and there are even all-nighters, which is like taking back to the peak season of summer vacation.
In the afternoon, there are "Red Tears", "Master Chef Competition", "Time Cinema", "Toy Story" and unimportant mystery books. Among them, "Time Cinema" and "Toy Story" are Liu Lan's books. Considering that she has two all-night shows of "Horror Doll House" tonight, Cheng Zi gave the afternoon books to other people in the store. After all, there are many full-time and part-time DMs in the store now, and there are 5 full-time DMs including Wang Xinghua.
It is worth mentioning that since Wang Xinghua has a very good educational background, after a few days of observation, she has no problem getting along with others. Now she is already a DM who can lead the business normally in the store.
In fact, she became Beru's best friend within a day, and managed to get Beru's cosmetics with her miserable and penniless background.
Of course, Wang Xinghua is in charge of horror books. After all, she is a professional and no one in the store knows more about ghosts than her.
"As far as I know, most videos are only counted once a day for an account." Jiang Qi refreshed the comment section of a certain video again, "I think your comments are too fake, 227 views, 39 comments, it's obvious that they are paid water army."
"How can you say they are water army? I watched the video seriously, liked, collected and followed it, I am a real fan of Qinghe!" Liu Lan said confidently, "Besides, not all of the 39 comments are from our own people! How can we have so many people in our store? There are not 39 people who have a good relationship with our store who added CC. There must be many enthusiastic netizens."
Jiang Qi took out the chat records in the noodle-eating group and showed them to Liu Lan.
Although Jiang Qi did not tell Gong Ye the specific time to post the video, he still found Qinghe.W's account on his own and called on everyone in the noodle-eating group to support Jiang Qi's video career.
Liu Lan immediately changed the subject: "Look at it from a positive perspective. Even if many of them are our own people, at least more than 100 wild viewers have seen the video, right? This is just one platform. Didn't you post it on more than 20 platforms? If they are all similar, Qinghe would have had thousands of people watching the video on the first day it was posted. If you round it up, that means she has thousands of fans!"
Jiang Qi admired Liu Lan's spirit of rounding off and clicked on the next software to view the data.
"There must be a delay in this data. Will it make a difference if you check it every few minutes?" Liu Lan continued to complain, "By the way, when will our new store be renovated? I passed by the coffee shop recently and it seems that the decoration inside has not been moved. If our store moves to a new store, will this place still be open?"
"Of course it will be open." Jiang Qi said. The doll house is still a little short of the scare value to upgrade to 2 stars. Although it is estimated that the star upgrade will be in the next few days, it is definitely some distance away from 3 stars. "We rented a new store only because there are not enough rooms here. The design drawings of the new store have not been fully completed. It is estimated that the decoration will have to wait until after December."
In fact, the design drawings of the new store have already come out, but Jiang Qi, the evil client, has some new ideas and needs to be changed.
After Wang Xinghua, an original actor, joined the game, the effects of horror and acting were taken to a new level. After all, even in a movie theater, the sound effects can only be 3D surround sound, but Wang Xinghua can actually float in the air and sing opera with real surround sound effects around the player.
The theater was priced at 198 per person, but the high price did not cause any offence among the guests. The show was booked for a few days later.
But Red Tears was nowhere near as profitable as Dollhouse.
"Red Tears" is a 9-person game, with a net income of 1,782 yuan per game.
"Horror Doll House" is for 6 people, 258 yuan per person, plus 98 yuan for the colorful rope, the net income for one show is 2,136 yuan.
In fact, Red Tears may not make as much money as Toy Story. Toy Story costs 188 yuan per person, and after deducting the 58 yuan free toys, the actual profit is only 130 yuan, but the peripherals of this book sell very well, and the second, third, fourth, and even N-time rate is extremely high. In just over ten days, there have been customers who have bought it five times. It is definitely a commercial success.
These repeat customers buy peripheral toys every time they play, and some even buy several. Because the purchase price of the toys is very high, Jiang Qi takes the route of small profits but quick turnover, and adds 60 yuan to the price of each toy. A small number of wealthy customers who think the toys are of good quality and reasonable prices actually treat the Xinghe Script Club as a toy store and buy seven or eight toys of the same model at a time as gifts for their children at home.
There is a very simple way to make Red Tears more profitable.
Make real scenes.
As long as it is made into a real scene, selling it at 288 per person is not expensive. After all, the real scene of "Red Tears" is bigger. In most cases, the price of script-killing movies is not based on the quality of the script content.
[Abandoned Theater] This building card definitely cannot be used now. Jiang Qi has seen the scale and area of the theater. The theater is much larger than the cafe. Even if it is reduced to the smallest size, it probably cannot accommodate it, and it is not cost-effective.
It is very risky to put such a large construction card in a rented shop.
Jiang Qi had calculated and inquired about it. If he used an area of about 100 square meters to create the real scene, he would mainly need to build a stage, make a few small utility rooms that could be used for real-scene evidence search, arrange the scene props, and find a familiar and cheap decoration team. The decoration cost would be around 100,000 yuan.
With the current profit levels of the script store and the braised food store, Jiang Qi will definitely be able to save this money in December while still paying salaries.
After half a month of renovation, it is expected that the real scene will be put into use before New Year's Day.
In this way, Wang Xinghua's star upgrade is guaranteed.
Because Wang Xinghua is a special card, her star upgrade conditions are different from those of normal character cards, and can even be said to be very strange. To upgrade her star, she needs: 100 points of happiness (Wang Xinghua) and 100 points of recognition of "Red Tears".
To put it simply, 100 points of happiness means that Wang Xinghua needs to experience 100 things that make her happy, and Tutu choosing her as its owner counts as one of them. The current progress is (1/100). Based on Wang Xinghua's preferences, this condition will probably be met once the shopping cart is emptied.
It is easy to have 100 points of happiness, but it is difficult to have 100 points of recognition for "Red Tears".
The story of "Red Tears" itself is actually not that good. As a horror game, "House of Horrors" beats "Red Tears" in terms of story, playability and horror.
If Jiang Qi can summon the [Abandoned Theater], and then use the [Script Writer] to rewrite several characters for Red Tears, compile the crew members into a character book, and make this book into an oversized real-life script-killing, then "Red Tears" may have a chance to compete with "The Doll House".
But the problem now is that we can’t.
"Horror Doll House" is the signature script of Galaxy Script Studio. Except for a very small number of customers who are completely unacceptable to horror scripts, more than 95% of the customers in the store have played this.
With the success of "The Doll's House", it is difficult for "Red Tears" to gain recognition.
Guests may think this is okay, but it is difficult for them to agree with it.
As can be seen from the star upgrade progress, "Red Tears" has been on the shelves for a few days, and it is recognized that the progress is pitiful (1/100).
No negative reviews, but only one guest agreed with it.
Jiang Qi thought about it and felt that although he couldn't make "Red Tears" into a truly complete version of the real scene now, he could at least make it a castrated version of the real scene.
More than 100,000 is more than 100,000. Wang Xinghua is a special card with the word "spend money" written all over the card details. Jiang Qi was already prepared to spend a lot of money before summoning her out.
He has always been generous in spending money on star upgrades. Spending more than 100,000 to upgrade Wang Xinghua's star is more cost-effective than spending 13,999 to buy her a windbreaker.
Besides, Wang Xinghua might not be really happy if the boss bought it for her directly. Things are valuable and precious only when they are obtained through one's own efforts.
Instead of upgrading the star points happily, let her save up money slowly and empty the shopping cart to swipe them.
As Jiang Qi was thinking this, he became distracted and didn't even notice that his phone was vibrating and there were new messages on WeChat.
"Jiang Qi, Jiang Qi!" Liu Lan poked Jiang Qi with his cell phone. "What are you daydreaming about? Your phone keeps vibrating. It seems like someone is looking for you."
Jiang Qi glanced at his phone and found that there were new messages in the group chat of [Blind Box Activity Group].
This group was created after the JC meeting that day. Generally, no one would talk in it unless there was important news. There were very few people in the group. Except for Manager Xu, they were all script store owners who participated in the blind box event. The news was kept confidential very well.
Boss Zhen, who is ready to ruin his business, doesn’t know about this blind box activity yet, and even thinks he has done a good job of keeping it secret.
Jiang Qi opened the group chat and said casually, "Lanlan, you have a show tonight, so why don't you go home and catch up on some sleep? It's already past three o'clock. If I remember correctly, your show "Horror Doll House" should start at 7:00 sharp."
Chengzi's original intention of not assigning Liu Lan a script in the afternoon was actually to let her go back and catch up on her sleep.
"Ah...Is it already past three?" Liu Lan glanced at his phone and found that it was already half past three. It was just right for him to take an afternoon nap and go to the braised food restaurant for dinner. He stood up and said, "Then I'll go home first."
After Liu Lan left, Jiang Qi was the only one left on the first floor. Wang Erya was sitting in the corridor upstairs, knitting and waiting for her turn. There were many NPCs needed to make a comeback in "Red Tears". The lines were simple and there was no gender restriction. Basically, whoever was caught had to make a comeback. Today, Wang Erya was caught.
Jiang Qi began to read the group messages carefully.
It is indeed big news that the [Blind Box Activity Group] can get 99.
Boss Zhen has released a preview.
Many bosses and distributors of script-killing games don’t know where they learned this promotional method from. They like to keep their activities secret and post trailers on WeChat Moments a few days in advance to keep things mysterious.
Post some trailers without posters, for example, there will be a mysterious event in two days, so stay tuned. Treat your Moments as Weibo, and wait for people who can’t wait to comment or privately message you to ask what it is.
Boss Zhen and his team also play this way.
The customer service numbers of 29 script stores all posted a unified notice on their Moments, which made the mysterious event seem very large in scale and sparked discussion among the guests who saw the notice in a very short period of time.
Jiang Qi casually glanced at the Pinben group where he had been undercover before and the Pinben group of their store. Many customers were asking in the group if anyone knew what the event was about, whether Xuncheng was going to hold an exhibition, etc.
This is undoubtedly good news for Jiang Qi and others. Since the blind box activity was proposed, Jiang Jun and Cao Luoping have been constantly improving this activity. The explosion rates of various prizes have been calculated, the membership system has been set up, and even the posters have been made and placed in the storage rooms of each store.
Advertising expert Yan Huaiyou has also contacted various major store exploration bloggers, and all the promotional articles have been written and are waiting to be published.
It can be said that all participating stores are looking forward to this event and are just waiting for Boss Zhen to announce the competition so that the blind box side can be synchronized.
Finally, after everyone had been looking forward to it for a long time, Wang Erya’s first SSR-level Daisy Health Knot was finally woven, and Boss Zhen finally took action.
There was a lot of joy in the [blind box activity group], and everyone was celebrating that Boss Zhen’s competition was finally about to begin.
There has been no movement from Boss Zhen these days, and everyone thought that they felt the risk was too great and wanted to cancel the competition. They were quite disappointed and felt that the blind box event would become boring without an opponent to compete.
Boss Huang (Shengge): Boss Yan, how is your promotion preparation going? @Boss Yan (CC)
Boss Yan (CC): Everything is ready. 5 store visit anchors, 9 soft articles, 100 tap water recommendations, 100 blind box unboxing recommendations, and 3 special prizes I prepared for WeChat Moments and Weibo promotion. Everything is ready.
Boss Liu (in secret): Professional [thumbs-up]
Boss Jiang (Xinghe): Have you bought the Weibo water army?
Boss Yan (CC): I didn’t buy it, it’s too expensive, not worth it. But the 20 small accounts in the WeChat appointment group have been taken care of, and have lurked in all appointment groups. A few of them have appointment records, so they can ensure that they can lead the rhythm in the first time.
Boss Jiang (Xinghe): Professional [thumbs-up]
