Chapter 1439 General Direction of the Thesis

Thursday, January 31.

Pei Qian was still in his office, racking his brains for his graduation thesis.

During this period of time, he has re-read some key works on the Chinese website of the terminal, including the original work of "Successor", as well as the copywriting of many previous games and movie scripts.

What should I say after eating it, I can't say that it is not helpful at all, but I still haven't found the most suitable direction.

And Pei Qian's biggest feeling is: These things are really made by them under my inspiration?

Why do I feel so strange when I read it...

This feeling is a bit like digging out my own small study booklet after graduation for many years, and reading the composition on it.

I feel that I should have been familiar with these words a long time ago, but now only strangeness and confusion remain.

"Ah... I need a little bit of inspiration and help."

"But this kind of thing is really hard to say!"

Pei Qian thinks that the best way is to ask Zhu Xiaoce or Cui Geng, but the problem is that this matter is a bit embarrassing, it may collapse, and it may not get the result he wants.

Because this group of people counts as one, they are all brains!

If Pei Qian asks, they can't help but think: President Pei doesn't understand these connotations? Sure! Then why does Boss Pei still ask...

Is this what Mr. Pei is implying? Do I have to work harder and create better works?

Pei Qian has no doubt that this is indeed something they can do.

That is to say, Pei Qian himself can't predict what kind of answer he will get, and what kind of uncontrollable consequences it will cause.

"If you want to get the correct answer as much as possible, the best way is not to go there as Mr. Pei, but to understand it from the perspective of a bystander and get relevant information from the side."

"Only by doing my best to eliminate everyone's brain-filling elements and preventing the objective environment from being affected by my intervention, can I ensure the authenticity of the answers as much as possible."

"Right! It's like learning game design from Mr. He An back then."

"So... I actually need a web author class or an inspiration class."

"Also, I don't have to be there in person, whether it's a video or a handout, as long as I can get the valuable information from the side."

"Hey, by the way, did you mention in the weekly report of Dian Dian Chinese last time that Cui Geng gave a lecture in the inspiration class recently, which caused some repercussions on the Internet?"

Pei Qian hurriedly found the weekly newspaper sent by Dianzhong Chinese website on the computer, and found that there was a message in it: After the success of "Successor", Cui Geng gave a lecture in the author inspiration class of Dian Chinese website. It is "the creative direction of the inspiration class".

At that time, Pei Qian didn't look carefully, but only remembered that Cui Geng was talking nonsense on stage, saying that "Mr. and flavor creations”…

At that time, someone recorded a video and posted it on the Internet. The most annoying thing is that the number of clicks on this video is quite high! Many authors are forwarding it one after another!

Authors who have not yet entered the inspiration class regard it as a stepping stone to enter the inspiration class; while authors who have already entered the inspiration class regard it as their creative direction in the inspiration class.

It's outrageous!

Pei Qian was very angry, but firstly, this video was only circulated in a small area in the author circle, and did not arouse such a high popularity. Pei Qian still has a lot of more worrying things to deal with; secondly, Pei Qian has not yet confirmed the inspiration class. It is not appropriate to rashly interfere with the next development direction, so I don't care.

but now……

Pei Qian suddenly felt that he seemed to be able to draw some inspiration from it.

"It's also very strange. Someone misinterpreted my meaning, and I still need to read his misinterpreted content to write my own thesis..."

"Fuck, it's so simple! This is where it is!"

Pei Qian felt that his behavior was really low, but there was nothing he could do. For the sake of Kong Lao's health, and in order for Kong Lao not to be angered by his thesis, he still had to do what should be done.

After finding the video, Pei Qian carefully watched it from beginning to end this time.

"Well... Although from my personal point of view, it is full of mistakes and wrong words, but if you look at it from the perspective of a bystander who doesn't know the truth, it makes sense..."

"And, if you really think about it from this angle, it seems that you can really dig out something and find a little combination with professional knowledge."

Pei Qian fell into deep thought.

For Cui Geng's theory, of course Pei Qian can't copy it completely, that's outrageous.

Because this video can be found on the Internet, if Pei Qian copied it completely, wouldn't it be very embarrassing to be caught out?

Of course, even if it is picked up, most people will think that this theory is originally Mr. Pei's, but Cui Geng taught it in the inspiration class after inheriting this theory.

In other words, they will think that Mr. Pei is copying himself, not copying.

But Pei Qian can't do this, because he is a person with a bottom line. For the thesis, you can refer to a general direction, but you have to have your own unique insights and dry goods, and you can't just listen to others.

"Cui Geng's remarks are mainly based on the reality of the inspiration class, and he explained the creative mode of the inspiration class to other authors. In other words, it can also be regarded as a large-scale experience exchange and sharing meeting of "Successor". It has a certain guiding effect on the novel."

"And what he said was relatively thin, with only one ready-made direction, but what is the specific environment, what problems exist, and what is the need to solve these problems... He didn't mention these things at all."

"If I can get rid of Cui Geng's influence as much as possible and continue digging in this direction, maybe I can gain something."

"Hmm... In this way, the title of the thesis can be 'Theory of Creation and Dissemination of Literary and Art Works in the New Era'. Um...No, the word 'New Era' is too big. More precisely, it should be ' Internet Age'."

"And the category of literary and artistic works is too broad, including serious literature, it should be called 'popular literary and artistic works'."

"So the topic should be, the creation and dissemination theory of popular literary works in the Internet age?"

"Tentatively decide on this topic, and if you find it inappropriate halfway through the writing, you can change it again."

"It can include the difficulties faced by the dissemination of traditional literary and artistic works under the background of the Internet age, the necessity of solving this problem, and the necessary factors and historical mission of the dissemination of popular literary and artistic works in the Internet age..."

Pei Qian simply followed this direction and found that there is indeed a lot of content that can be written. It is more than enough to support an undergraduate graduation thesis.

However, there are two problems.

The first problem is that the topic is a bit too big.

For things like papers, each level has the scope and fields that each level can involve.

For undergraduates, it is better to choose a small field as an entry point. If you want to write bigger, neither the ability nor the length of the paper is enough to support it.

In the future, after studying for a master's or doctoral degree, you will be eligible to continuously expand the scope of your thesis if you go up step by step.

This is also common sense.

As far as this paper is concerned, although the two qualifiers "Internet Age" and "popular category" have been added, the scope is still very broad. Including general popcorn blockbusters, online novels, animated comics, short online videos, etc., all can be included in this scope.

Wanting to write a dissertation on such a large scope, there is a feeling of ignorance and overreach.

The second problem is that Pei Qian can only bite the bullet and write in this direction. The extent to which the paper can be written is completely uncontrollable.

He also hopes that he really has the level of Mr. Pei that everyone imagined, but he doesn't!

Even previous works such as "A Better Tomorrow" and "Struggle" were all created by imitation, so I had to reinterpret myself.

Although these two serious problems existed, Pei Qian thought about it and could only choose this way.

Because he really can't think of any better direction, and these two shortcomings can be overcome by finding a way.

It doesn’t matter if the written things are uncontrollable, write first and then talk, anyway, there will be someone to check for yourself at that time, and you can slowly modify it later.

As for the topic being too big, it shouldn't be a problem.

Although undergraduates are not qualified to write such relatively large topics, the qualification requirements for undergraduate papers are also low!

Others may get knocked back for writing this kind of topic, but Pei Qian is Pei Qian after all. I believe that the professors during the defense should look at the school and Mr. Kong's face, so they should be lenient.

In short, this is the most feasible direction Pei Qian can find so far.

After simply smoothing out his train of thought, Pei Qian decided to simply write in this direction, and first come up with a big framework.

Not long after saving the document, there was a knock on the door outside the office.

Pei Qian looked up and saw that Meng Chang had arrived.

At the end of the month again, Meng Changlai agreed to a commission.

Pei Qian found this month's commission data on his laptop and handed it over.

"Not bad, keep up the good work."

The commission mode was just changed in the middle of this month, and Meng Chang was put on a resurrection armor.

The promotion for "Successor" in the first half of the month was a complete failure, but the promotion for "Ghost General 2" in the second half of the month has been quite effective so far.

"Ghost General 2" is about to be officially released, and Meng Chang also spent a lot of money on publicity, but no matter how much he spends, the popularity of this game is still tepid.

Have to say, this is a good sign!

Although Pei Qian didn't quite understand how Meng Chang's promotional strategy for "Ghost General 2" was implemented, it was clear that Meng Chang had already mastered the art of war, and the false and the real had turned into a form that no one could guess.

Pei Qian couldn't figure it out either, but he believed that Meng Chang was on the same front as him.

The publicity plan for the second half of the month is only 100,000 yuan even if the full commission is obtained, but this time Meng Chang got 70,000 yuan from "Ghost General 2", which is not too much, but it is also a lot.

Compared with the previous "one sudden death, GG for the whole month" model, it is already quite benevolent.

Meng Chang just glanced at it and handed the laptop back.

Now he doesn't care about how much commission he got at all. He came here to see the amount of commission just to make a formality. More importantly, he couldn't miss this opportunity to teach Pei's propaganda method.
