Chapter 1414 The Creative Direction of the Inspiration Class

Cui Geng was a little embarrassed when he saw that the authors of the inspiration class were like little chickens waiting to be fed, eager to get some knowledge about creation from him.

Because he didn't even know what to say!

If it is traditional web writing skills, he can also talk about it.

However, the authors who can come to the inspiration class will not be bad in the traditional online articles, and everyone has a set of housekeeping skills.

As far as Cui Geng's experience is concerned, it is more than enough to talk about the authors who have not achieved much, but the authors of the inspiration class are all about the same level. What's the point?

What's more, what these authors want to hear is Cui Geng's mental journey of creating "The Successor". They want to know how to write it so that they can get the opportunity of copyright adaptation.

After all, they are all writers with heads and faces. How many of you came to the inspiration class to come to Salted Fish? They are all adapted for copyright purposes.

Just like Cui Geng, the success of the adaptation of "The Successor" can not only increase the popularity of the whole story by several dimensions, but also give him a considerable share of the income of this series.

That's a lot more money than he makes by writing a regular web novel!

Under the dual stimulation of fame and fortune, these authors looked at Cui Geng with adoring eyes, as if they were looking at a living god of wealth.

But the problem is that Cui Geng himself can't explain this problem at all!

Cui Geng coughed a little embarrassedly: "Cough, this, to be honest, I really have nothing to say."

"Everyone has successful writing, everyone and everyone is good at writing skills are different, and my experience may not be suitable for everyone."

"What's more, the story of "The Successor" is something I got by chance. I wrote it out with a slap on the forehead, and even after I wrote it, I didn't have much expectations. If Mr. Pei said that this could be adapted, I would have written it long ago. It was thrown aside..."

Cui Geng spoke his heart very frankly, but the authors did not believe it at all.

"Hey, Fan got up! He wrote such a successful work with a slap on the forehead? I tell you that our country is now pretending not to break the law, otherwise we would have arrested you long ago!"

"Crooked, is it 110? Report, someone here is pretending to be forceful, and the scene is almost out of control!"

"Old Cui, don't be humble, is this the time to be humble? What did we say when we went to the Internet cafe to open the black together? We will share the blessings and share the difficulties. In the future, you can't forget to bring your brothers with you. Forget it?"

"Yes, don't be modest, what are you talking about!"

The authors are still relentless.

Obviously, no one believed that Cui Geng was "writing at random with a slap on the forehead", and felt that he was being modest.

Cui Geng is very helpless, these days, to be honest, no one believes it!

It's all to blame for those who pretend to be coercive. What are you pretending to do when you don't have anything to do? As a result, the trust cost of the entire society has increased, and people who really tell the truth are not trusted.

No way, just say something.

Cui Geng tried hard to recall the motivation and source of inspiration for the creation of "The Successor", not to mention, he really remembered something.

Thinking of this, he nodded: "Okay, then I'll talk about it briefly."

As soon as Cui Geng said he was going to give a lecture, the authors immediately became excited.

Inspiration classes are not short of anything here, including large conference tables and audio-visual rooms. Because there were too many people, the large conference table could not hold so many people, so everyone decided to go to the video room.

Turn on the wait, give Cui Geng a microphone, and turn it into a lecture scene.

Seeing this kind of battle, Cui Geng was also a little helpless, but what can we do now? Speak!

Anyway, as long as the process of the birth of "The Successor" is explained in detail, it is up to the other authors to understand it. That is their own business.

"The cause of this incident has to start from a morning when the inspiration class was just established."

"At that time, President Pei came to inspect, and after denying several of my creative directions, he gave me a clear path..."

Cui Geng explained the process of communicating with President Pei at that time.

At that time, his first choice was a fan who wanted to write "Mission and Choice", and his second choice was to write the stories of those traditional domestic IPs purchased by GOG, but they were all rejected by President Pei.

President Pei showed him a way: to write the superhero theme of Hurricane Comics!

Cui Geng feels that this is not realistic at all, because the superhero theme is the private land of the top two comic companies in the United States, and only they can play it, because it is a theme rooted in the background of Western liberal culture.

In short, the road pointed out by President Pei looks like a dead end.

However, Mr. Pei said one thing: Superhero themes only for domestic readers may not be successful!

And Mr. Pei also said, why do readers have to like these superheroes? You can also write these superheroes to death, or life is better than death, anyway readers don't like those superheroes, this is not for you More room to play?

It is these two requirements that drive Cui Geng to analyze President Pei's deep demands, and finally finalize the "anti-superhero theme", which is the story of "The Successor".

The writers in the audience nodded frequently.

It turns out that there is such a tortuous story behind "The Successor"?

Listening to what Cui Geng said, the story of "The Successor" was never his first choice, but his third choice! It was President Pei who always insisted on letting Cui Geng write in this direction, and only then did "Successor".

If Mr. Pei hadn't intervened, then Cui Geng's writing is probably a fan of "Mission and Choice".

Of course, the fans of "Mission and Choice" are not necessarily unsuccessful, and they may even get an opportunity to adapt, appearing as a DLC for the game "Mission and Choice".

But in that case, "The Successor" will not appear.

In comparison, "Successor" is obviously more successful, because it creates a new IP, rather than attaching to the existing IP "Mission and Choice".

Some of the writers in the front row had a distinct look of disappointment on their faces.

After a long time of trouble, it turns out that the theme of "Successor" was designated by President Pei?

A large part of the success of this story is due to President Pei!

However, this kind of treatment is not common. As an old author, Cui Geng is one of the first members to join the inspiration class. If he can get Mr. Pei's guidance, others can't!

Then this is completely irrelevant.

Seems to have seen through the minds of these authors, Cui Geng changed his words: "However, after reflection and speculation during this period of time, I suddenly got something, and I have a relatively deep understanding of the creative direction and creative concept encouraged by President Pei. !"

"I can share this with everyone."

The writers in the audience got their spirits up again.

This is good! This is pure dry goods!

Although everyone can't get Boss Pei's advice, but after Cui Geng's analysis, interpretation, and retransmission of Boss Pei's creative direction and concept, rounding up is equivalent to getting Boss Pei's advice!

As long as the creation is made according to President Pei's ideas, the content created must meet Tengda's adaptation standards!

Cui Geng smiled slightly and said, "I think the three works adapted this time are not randomly selected by President Pei, but represent the two creative directions encouraged by President Pei."

"The first is "Eternal Fallen Reincarnation" and "Academy of Agents", which are based on Tenda's existing IP content and derive the theme to other fields."

"Fictions, games, animations, and crossovers between different art forms have a very positive significance for expanding Tenda's cultural industry territory."

"Of course, this is a simple way to play. In the future, there should be many authors who choose this path in the inspiration class, so the competition will be fiercer, and only better works can be adapted."

"And the second is the type of "Successor". Considering that President Pei once directed me personally, he obviously prefers this creative direction."

"In short, this direction is to create creations that meet the preferences and tastes of young people based on the traditional cultural heritage and social phenomena of the Chinese people!"

"There are two key elements here, one of which is indispensable."

"If the creation is based on traditional cultural heritage and social phenomena, but it does not meet the preferences and tastes of young people, it will become an empty preaching and cannot be widely spread."

"Moreover, we must have a correct attitude and clarify our position. We are not traditional writers. We must ensure that the content we write will make young people read and even enjoy it. On this basis, we can pursue other things."

"If it is not based on traditional cultural heritage and social phenomena, but blindly caters to the tastes of young people, it may fall into a situation of empty content."

"As a general online novel, this is of course no problem, after all, you can also earn royalties. But for the inspiration class, it needs to be adapted into other themes, which requires a lot of investment, and only works with rich connotations, It is necessary to use such huge resources for adaptation.”

""The Successor" just fits these two points, so in the end, there is the possibility of a reversal of word of mouth."

"Everyone should also pay attention to the fact that works that meet these two conditions at the same time may give people a first impression of being unpopular and unpleasant."

"On the one hand, it is difficult to balance the two, and on the other hand, the cultural invasion of the Western world is omnipresent, pervasive, and subtle. Many of our habits may have been changed inadvertently, and no one feels that there is any What's wrong."

"And at this time, a work that depicts content that is completely different from what people recognize in common sense will inevitably lead to resistance and opposition from these people."

"Like what is described in "The Successor," how many people would think it was reasonable if it wasn't for the election result of Yuklaya? Everyone is scolding, saying it was a deliberate smear."

"So, as long as everyone chooses this path, no matter how many people are not optimistic at the beginning, they must stick to it."

"Everyone must believe that as long as you stick to this path, even if everyone is not optimistic, President Pei will be optimistic; and as long as President Pei is optimistic, the work can be adapted, and it will be successful after the adaptation!"
