Chapter 881: Cui Geng and the Superhero Theme

Cui Geng looked at the environment of the entire "Inspiration Class", and found that the environment here is much better than he imagined!

TV, single sofa, and even a dedicated audio-visual room, although the movie-watching experience of the "Inspiration Class" will not exceed that of a dedicated movie theater, it is absolutely no problem to kill the movie-watching experience in places other than movie theaters.

And there are not only movies here, but also a large number of stand-alone games with excellent plots, physical books of novels and comics, etc., which can be said to be a huge treasure trove of inspiration.

And the most important point is that there is no small black room in the "Inspiration Class", and there is no restriction on the author's creative time. Watching movies on the sofa is also no problem!

For Cui Geng, this kind of environment is simply a dream.

If he was asked to assemble such a set of equipment by himself, he would not be able to afford it without a cost of 30,000 to 50,000 yuan, not to mention the combined cost of a large number of genuine Blu-ray movies, books, and exclusive audio-visual rooms, which the creator alone cannot afford.

Here, not only food and housing are in charge, but the novels written will also directly make money at extremely high buyout prices. This condition is simply unimaginable!

Originally, Cui Geng thought that he was an author with ideals and aspirations, so how could he take over such a job?

But now it seems that it is really fragrant!

There are as many buyouts as there are!

Seeing Cui Geng's excited expression, the editor smiled and said, "Hey, I really envy you. I want to join this 'inspiration class' too, but unfortunately I am not qualified."

"After the 'Inspiration Class' officially opens tomorrow, you will experience it for three days first."

"By the way, I heard President Pei will come to inspect tomorrow to see how the 'inspiration class' works."

"During this period, you can experience the experience first, and then decide whether to accept the buyout creation mode, and what kind of subject matter you want to create."

Cui Geng's eyes lit up: "Huh? Boss Pei will come too?"

It was a real surprise.

Cui Geng and Mr. Pei have met a few times before. For example, Mr. Pei once invited him to dinner while he was busy, and gave him the position of "special observer".

And Cui Geng's current success is also closely related and inseparable from the inspiration provided by Mr. Pei.

For some reason, Cui Geng always felt that as long as he saw Mr. Pei, or had a relationship with Mr. Pei, something good would happen.

This time Mr. Pei came to inspect in person, maybe discussing a few issues with him casually, he would be instantly enlightened and inspired?

Cui Geng looked forward to it happily.

...

...

Thursday, February 9.

In the morning, Pei Qian came to the "Inspiration Class" by car to see the current situation of the authors.

Although the ability to earn money in the various industries of the Tenda Group is not very prominent on the Chinese website at the end point, Pei Qian attaches great importance to it.

In particular, this "inspiration class" is an idea that Pei Qian came up with himself. Once successful, all the top authors of the Chinese website of the terminal can be wiped out, which will greatly slow down the earning speed of the Chinese website of the terminal, which can be said to be of great significance.

Therefore, Pei Qian felt that it was necessary for him to come and have a look.

After arriving at the "Inspiration Class", Pei Qian first watched from afar at the door.

I saw that the authors of the Chinese website at the end were all sitting comfortably on the single sofa, some were watching movies seriously, some were playing games with controllers, and some were reading physical books.

At first glance, it looks a bit like an Internet cafe, but it is different, more accurately, it looks like a large entertainment room.

As for the "code word area" next to it, it was empty, and there was no one there.

The only regret is that the number of people in the "Inspiration Class" is still relatively small, only a dozen or so people, and only a small part of the seats are occupied.

Because many leading authors have unfinished books and are still serializing, they can't just write and buy out the book they are writing, right?

Therefore, a group of authors will come one after another in the future.

The ten or so people who have arrived are all like Cui Geng, who have finished the old book and signed up for the "inspiration class". It is precisely because their old books are all finished and there is no pressure to update them, so no one codes them.

Pei Qian was very satisfied with this.

very good!

You are watching movies and playing games here, and you can procrastinate on coding.

Among the crowd, Pei Qian saw Cui Geng at a glance, and immediately paid attention to him!

Because Cui Geng was one of the first batch of authors who became popular on Diandian Chinese.com, and directly brought the city channel of the website to fire, which can be said to be a turning point for Diandian Chinese.com.

What made Pei Qian even more angry was that he had high hopes for Cui Geng and even assigned him a position of "special observer". As a result, Cui Geng not only did not reduce the work efficiency of various departments, but even wrote a fire book to backstab him. Hit Pei Qian!

But this time, Pei Qian felt that the situation would definitely be different.

As we all know, Cui Geng is a pigeon spirit with little motivation. Doves can still create seriously in such a comfortable environment? impossible things!

Thinking of this, Pei Qian stepped in and strolled around to look around.

At the same time, these authors are struggling with the selection of novel materials.

Zhu Xing'an has already emphasized to the authors that what they want to write is customized text, that is to say, they can only write IP works related to Tenda, and cannot be original.

This one was decided by Mr. Pei and cannot be changed.

Tenda's current IP works are nothing more than three aspects: Tenda's games and movies, various well-known domestic IPs purchased by GOG, and various comic IPs of Hurricane Comics.

So which topic should you choose to write about? This is very confusing.

The selection of materials must not be a hard choice at a slap in the head. It is necessary to study these themes repeatedly to find the best entry point.

Therefore, some of these authors are playing Tengda games, some are watching movies such as "A Better Tomorrow", and some are flipping through comic books and old movies of Hurricane Comics. They have no clear goals and can only try their luck.

Cui Geng was thinking hard when he suddenly saw President Pei who was strolling.

"Boss Pei, you're here!" Cui Geng was very happy to stand up and greet him.

Pei Qian pushed him back: "It's okay, I'll just walk around casually, just keep doing your work."

The seat next to Cui Geng happened to be empty, so Pei Qian sat down next to him, intending to experience the configuration of the "Inspiration Class" as well, so that he could feel refreshed.

Cui Geng was very excited. He didn't expect Mr. Pei to sit next to him, and he felt that he was taken seriously.

While flipping through the various movie and game resources allocated by the "Inspiration Class", Pei Qian casually asked, "Have you thought about the subject matter?"

Cui Geng, but Pei Qian's goal target.

After all, among the first batch of more than a dozen authors, Cui Geng had the best grades, the most flexible mind, and the most likely to have an accident, so Pei Qian asked casually to determine the degree of threat of Cui Geng.

Cui Geng hurriedly said: "Oh, Mr. Pei, I don't have a very clear idea yet."

"However, the general direction is already in place, that is, to dig deeper from Tenda's games and movie themes!"

"After all, Tenda's most influential cultural content is games and movies. These are all original content of Tenda, and the public's acceptance is also the highest. I recently heard that the new game "Mission and Choice" is a big production, with a sci-fi background and an overall structure. Very grand and scalable."

"I plan to study similar themes and try to write a novella based on the existing stories of "Mission and Choice"!"

"I dare not say that it surpasses the current story of "Mission and Choice", as long as the style and characteristics are written!"

Pei Qian was surprised.

What the hell? Already locked in "Mission and Choice" in advance?

Absolutely not!

"Mission and Choice" is a project with a huge investment, and there is no room for loss. So far, this thing is just a game, a movie. But if many authors get together to write its colleagues, if one of the novels becomes famous, wouldn't all the works, including movies and novels, become popular as well?

So, definitely not!

It cannot involve Tenda's core business!

Thinking of this, Pei Qian hurriedly said, "I don't think...the choice of material is very good."

"Because Tenda's games and movies basically have relatively complete stories. Even if there are some 'holes' left, they may have to be filled by the officials themselves, which is related to future development plans."

"If you go to write a fan of "Mission and Choice", but the result is a deviation from the setting of the follow-up work of "Mission and Choice", isn't it embarrassing, it is tantamount to doing useless work."

"It's not that it is absolutely impossible to write, but I suggest that the priority should be set aside and other directions should be considered first."

Cui Geng nodded: "Uh... Mr. Pei makes sense."

"In this case, only the domestic IP purchased by GOG and the comic IP of Hurricane Comics are left. Let me think about it..."

"Although these domestic IPs are relatively old, they are still well-known. Maybe writing a fan work can evoke some people's childhood memories, and this theme will become popular again. Moreover, it can also have some linkage with GOG ..."

When Pei Qian heard this, he couldn't help frowning again.

This doesn't work either, it's still dangerous!

Many classic IP characters are actually very likely to become popular, such as some old movies that no one cares about at first, but when they are edited with a BGM, they become popular inexplicably. This kind of situation is not unheard of.

What's more, although these domestic classic IP characters are outdated, they belong to the common memory of a generation in China after all, and they have the characteristics of traditional Chinese culture, so it will be difficult to deal with them when they really become popular.

Coupled with the huge influence of GOG in the country, the probability of accidents is greatly increased.

Of course, Pei Qian believes that the creative mode of the "Inspiration Class" determines that no matter which subject the authors choose, the success rate will not be high. After all, writing custom essays is dancing in shackles.

But Pei Qian still hopes that these authors, especially Cui Geng, can choose a subject with the lowest success rate.

Thinking of this, Pei Qian said with a little resentment: "Cui Geng, you are an author with ideals and pursuits, why do you keep choosing easy difficulty for yourself?"

"Even if this kind of subject matter is seriously written, what kind of height can it reach?"

"If you have confidence in yourself, you should directly choose the highest difficulty and write these superhero characters from Hurricane Comics!"

Cui Geng was stunned for a moment: "Huh? Mr. Pei, you think highly of me, don't you..."

Writing about superheroes?

I'm just an ordinary web writer!

The theme of superheroes is the private land of the top two comic companies in the United States, and only they can play well. Writing by other countries and other authors is useless.

In addition to the objective strength of the screenwriter, another very important reason is the cultural background.

The West advocates individualism, so the stories of superheroes have special soil. Moreover, Western audiences are also very accepting of superheroes, so there will be a lot of market for the film.

The two comic companies in the top two in the United States have decades of rich accumulation in hero roles, which is absolutely unshakable. If someone throws out a superhero at random, it can instantly kill the superheroes of Hurricane Comics.

Want to make something famous in this field?

Cui Geng felt that this was a fool's dream.

He has a premonition about this: As an author of web articles, even if he writes about superheroes, he may not be able to get rid of the strong flavor of web articles.

Therefore, Cui Geng wanted to retreat on the spot.

"Mr. Pei, I'm just a writer for the Internet. If you ask me to write about superheroes, isn't that difficult for someone to do?"

"The whole story structure and refreshment of web articles and superhero themes are completely different. If you really have to write it hard, the final result will definitely be nondescript."

"Besides, the people who created these superheroes at Hurricane Comics failed to set them on fire, and my two knives are even more impossible!"

Seeing Cui Geng's attitude, Pei Qian was even more sure that the route he chose was correct: "Don't belittle yourself!"

"What is the 'inspiration class' for? Is it for you to collect inspiration?"

"Why don't you limit the number of words you can update? It's just to let you work slowly and meticulously."

"If you follow the way of writing online articles, and you are forced to update thousands of words or tens of thousands of words every day, it will be really difficult for you to write a good enough superhero story, but now slow down and polish slowly, as long as you insist on time Give it long enough, write enough stories, and it will be a success someday!"

"You are all top authors and storytellers. I believe that no matter what the subject matter is, as long as you have enough time to study it, you will definitely be able to master it!"

Cui Geng was still at a loss: "But Mr. Pei, there is a cultural gap between us and the West. The theme of superheroes is a theme born out of Western culture. I force myself to write it. Isn't this using my weaknesses to head-on other people's strengths? !"

"This is not something that can be changed by accumulation alone."

Pei Qian was silent for a moment, then reluctantly admitted: "Indeed."

"But, who said that superheroes can only be written for Westerners?"

"You can also write to domestic readers!"

"A superhero theme that is only aimed at domestic readers may not be successful."

Cui Geng scratched his head: "However, I can't be original, I can only use the existing IP to write. But these characters of Hurricane Comics have neither become popular abroad nor domestically. This shows that these In fact, the characters are all bad, even if it is only written for domestic readers, I am afraid it will be impossible to succeed, because everyone doesn't like these superheroes at all..."

"I don't think it's possible for me to make domestic readers like them. It's too difficult."

Pei Qian thought for a while: "Why do you have to like these superheroes? You can also write these superheroes to death, or make their lives worse than death. Anyway, everyone doesn't like them, which gives you more freedom degree!"

"Don't let rules and regulations limit your own thinking, be bold!"

Cui Geng: "..."

He could tell that Mr. Pei was determined to choose the most difficult subject: Hurricane Comics' superhero theme!

Anyway, no matter how you find the reason, Mr. Pei's last topic will return to this subject.

But how do you write this?

A writer who writes web articles must bite the bullet and write about superheroes? Isn't this a fuss?

Cui Geng was very unhappy, but he found that Mr. Pei's ability to debate was really too strong, and he soon ran out of words.

In the end, he had no choice but to nod reluctantly: "Okay, Mr. Pei, I'll read the comics of Hurricane Comics in the past few days, and come up with ideas..."

"However, don't get your hopes up too much. I won't be responsible for spending the buyout money to buy it back to pile up garbage."

Pei Qian was overjoyed, you wrote a bunch of rubbish? Then I can't wait for it!

He immediately patted Cui Geng on the shoulder: "Don't worry, it doesn't matter if the written work is unsuccessful, this is a meaningful attempt!"

"As long as you try, you will always fail!"

"The reason for the buyout is that Dingdian Chinese.com will take the risk, so that you can create freely without pressure!"

"Try it with confidence and boldly. If there is any problem, I will take care of it!"

I don’t have much time to write on weekends, so I’ll add more during the day
