Chapter 884: Cui Geng and the Superhero Theme

Cui Geng took a look at the environment of the entire "inspiration class" and found that the environment here is much better than he thought!
Televisions, single sofas, and even special audio-visual rooms, although not so that the "inspiration class" viewing experience exceeds that of special cinemas, there is absolutely no problem with the experience of watching movies in places other than cinemas.
And there are not only movies here, but also a large number of stand-alone games with excellent plots and 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 dark room for the "inspiration class", and there are no restrictions on the author’s creative time at all. If you want, do not write a word for two consecutive weeks and just stay alone. Watching movies on the sofa is no problem!
For Cui Geng, this environment is simply dreamy.
If he were to build such a set of equipment on his own, there would be no three to fifty thousand that would be impossible to download, not to mention a large number of genuine Blu-ray movies, books, and exclusive audio-visual studios. The combined cost is by no means the creator can afford.
Not only do I care about food and housing, but the novels I write will also make money directly at a very high buyout price. This is a condition that I can't even think of!
Originally, Cui Geng still felt that he was an author with ideals and pursuits, how could he accept this kind of work?
But now it looks so fragrant!
There are as many such buyouts!
The editor saw Cui Geng's excited expression and 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" is officially opened tomorrow, you will feel the time for three days."
"By the way, I heard that Mr. Pei will come to inspect tomorrow to see how effective the "inspiration class" is."
"During this time, you can experience the experience first, and then decide whether to accept the buyout creative mode, and what specific themes you want to create."
Cui Geng's eyes lit up: "Huh? Always Pei will come too?"
This is really a surprise.
Cui Geng and President Pei have had several ties. For example, President Pei once invited him to dinner during his busy schedule and gave him the position of "special observer".
And Cui Geng's current success is also closely related to and inseparable from the inspiration provided by Mr. Pei.
I don't know why, Cui Geng always feels that as long as he sees President Pei or has a relationship with President Pei, something good will happen.
This time, President Pei came to inspect in person, maybe he could just discuss a few questions with himself, and he could instantly open up his mind and be full of inspiration?
Cui Geng looked forward happily.
...
...
Thursday, February 9.
In the morning, Pei Qian took the car to the "Inspiration Class" to see the current situation of the authors.
Although the ability to make money in the various industries of the Tenda Group is not outstanding, Pei Qian attaches great importance to it.
In particular, this "inspiration class" is an idea that Pei Qian came up with. Once successful, all the head authors of the Chinese website can be wiped out, which greatly slows the speed of making money on Chinese website, which can be said to be of great significance.
Therefore, Pei Qian felt that he had to come over and take a look.
After coming to the "Inspiration Class", Pei Qian first looked far away from the door.
I saw all the authors of the end Chinese website all sat comfortably on the single sofa, some were watching movies seriously, some were playing games with handles, and some were reading physical books.
At first glance, it looks a bit like an Internet cafe, but it is different. More precisely, it looks like a large entertainment room.
As for the "codeword area" next to it, it is empty and there is no one.
The only regret is that the number of people in the "inspiration class" is still relatively small, only a dozen people, and only a small part of the seats.
Because many head authors’ books are not finished and are still being serialized, you can’t just write the that you’re writing to write a buyout, right?
Therefore, there will be a number of authors coming over.
The ten or so people who have arrived are the same as Cui Geng, who have finished their old books, and only then signed up for the "inspiration class". It is precisely because their old books are all finished and there is no pressure to update, so no one goes to codewords.
Pei Qian is very satisfied with this.
well!
You just watch movies and play games here, and the codewords can be delayed.
Among the crowd, Pei Qian saw Cui Geng at a glance, and immediately focused on him!
Because Cui Geng was one of the first batch of authors who became popular on the end Chinese website, the city channel that directly led the website on fire, can be said to be a turning point for the end Chinese website.
What makes Pei Qian even more angry is that he clearly has high hopes for Cui Geng, and even arranges him as a "special observer". As a result, Cui Geng not only did not reduce the work efficiency of various departments, but also wrote a fire book. Take 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. The pigeon spirit can still create seriously in this 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 emphasized to the authors that what they want to write is customized text, that is, they can only write IP works related to Tenda, not original.
This one was decided by President 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 from Hurricane Comics.
So which subject should I choose to write? This is very confusing.
The selection of materials is definitely not a matter of hard selection, you have to study these topics repeatedly to find the best entry point.
Therefore, some of these authors are playing Tenda games, some are watching movies such as "Better Tomorrow", and some are reviewing comic books and old movies of Hurricane Comics. They have no clear goals and can only try their luck.
Cui Geng was thinking hard and suddenly saw Mr. Pei who was walking around.
"President Pei, you are here!" Cui Geng was very happy to stand up and greet him.
Pei Qian pressed him back: "It's okay, I'll just go around, just keep busy with you."
There was no one next to Cui Geng. Pei Qian sat down beside him, planning to experience the configuration of the "inspiration class", and he was refreshed.
Cui Geng was very excited. He didn't expect President Pei to sit next to him, feeling that he was taken seriously.
Pei Qian looked at the various movie and game resources allocated by the "Inspiration Class", and asked casually: "Have you thought about the subject matter?"
Cui Geng, but Pei Qian's end-point marking target.
After all, among the dozen or so authors in the first batch, 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 level of Cui Geng's threat.
Cui Geng hurriedly said, "Oh, President Pei, I don't have a very clear idea yet."
"But the general direction is already there, which is to dig deeper from Tenda's game and movie themes!"
"After all, Tenda’s most influential cultural content is games and movies. These are Tenda’s original content, and the public has the highest acceptance. Recently I heard that the new game "Mission and Choice" is a big production, with a science fiction background and the entire structure. Very ambitious and extensible."
"I plan to study similar themes and try to write a novelette based on the existing story of "Mission and Choice"!"
"I dare not say beyond the current story of "Mission and Choice", just write the style and write the characteristics!"
Pei Qian was startled.
What the hell? Already locked in "Mission and Choice" in advance?
That definitely won't work!
"Mission and Choice" is a project that has invested heavily in it. So far, this thing is just a game, a movie. But if many authors get together to write its colleagues, if one of the first novels here is famous, wouldn't it be popular with all the works, including movies and novels?
So, definitely not!
Can't involve Tenda's core business!
Thinking of this, Pei Qian hurriedly said: "I think... this selection is not very good."
"Because of Tenda's games and movies, basically the story is relatively complete. Even if there are some "pits" left, they may have to be filled by the official themselves, which is related to future development plans."
"If you write a fan of "Mission and Choice", but you end up with a setting deviation from the follow-up work of "Mission and Choice", it is not very embarrassing, it is equivalent to doing useless work."
"It's not that it is absolutely impossible to write. It's just that I suggest that you put the priority down and consider other directions first."
Cui Geng nodded: "Uh... Mr. Pei makes sense."
"In that case, only the domestic IP purchased by GOG and those comic IPs from Hurricane Comics are left. I think about it..."
"Although these domestic IPs are relatively old, they are still well-known. Maybe writing a fan work can evoke childhood memories of some people. 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. For example, some old movies were originally uninterested, but with a BGM editing, they exploded inexplicably. This situation has not happened before.
What's more, although these classic domestic IP roles are outdated, they belong to the common memory of a generation of people in China after all, and they have the characteristics of traditional Chinese culture, which will be more difficult to deal with when they are really popular.
Coupled with the huge influence of GOG in the country, the probability of accidents has greatly increased.
Of course, Pei Qian believes that the creative mode of the "inspiration class" is determined. No matter which theme the authors choose, the success rate will not be high. After all, writing custom essays is dancing with 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 bit of hatred for iron and steel, "Cui Geng, you are an author with ideals and pursuits. Why do you always choose easy difficulty for yourself?"
"Even if this subject matter is written seriously, what 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? President Pei, you look down on me too much..."
Write a superhero theme?
I am just an ordinary web writer!
Superhero theme, that is the private land of the top two comic companies in the United States, only they can play it. It is written by other countries and authors, and it has no internal taste.
In addition to the objective strength of the screenwriter, another very important reason lies in the cultural background.
The West advocates individualism, so the story of a superhero has particular soil. And Western audiences also particularly accept this set of superheroes, so the film will be very marketable.
The top two comic companies in the United States have decades of rich accumulation in hero roles, which is absolutely unshakable. Anyone who throws out a superhero can quickly kill the superhero of Hurricane Comics.
Want to make something famous in this field?
Cui Geng felt that this was a idiotic dream.
He has a foreboding about this: as an online writer, even if he writes about superhero subjects, he may not be able to get rid of the strong flavor of online articles, and he will be unpleasant.
Therefore, Cui Geng wanted to retreat on the spot.
"Mr. Pei, I'm the one who writes online articles. You asked me to write about superhero subjects. Isn't that difficult for a strong man?"
"The whole story structure and coolness of web articles and superhero subjects are not the same thing at all. If you really want to write hard, the final result is definitely nondescript."
"Furthermore, the people who created these superheroes at Hurricane Comics Company failed to bring them to 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 does the "inspiration class" do? 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."
"If you follow the creation method of the web, and you are forced to update thousands of words and tens of thousands of words every day, it is really difficult for you to write a good enough superhero theme story, but now slow down and polish it slowly, as long as you persist in time Long enough and enough stories to write, one day it will succeed!"
"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 research, you will definitely be able to control it!"
Cui Geng is still at a loss: "But President Pei, we have a cultural gap with the West. The theme of superheroes is a theme born out of Western culture. I force it to write. This is not just taking my own weaknesses against the strengths of others. !"
"This is not something that can be changed by accumulation alone."
Pei Qian was silent for a moment, and somewhat reluctantly admitted: "Indeed."
"But who said that superhero subjects 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 unsuccessful."
Cui Geng scratched his head: "But, I can't create originality, I can only write with the existing IP. But these characters of Hurricane Comics have neither become popular abroad nor domestically. This shows that these In fact, the characters are all breathless. Even if they are only written to domestic readers, it is impossible to succeed, because everyone does not like these superheroes..."
"I think it's impossible 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 them worse than death. Anyway, people don't like them, but this gives you higher freedom. Degree!"
"Don't let rules limit your own thinking, make bold assumptions!"
Cui Geng: "..."
He can see it, President Pei is determined to make himself choose the most difficult theme: the superhero theme of Hurricane Comics!
Anyway, no matter how to find the reason, President Pei's last topic will return to this topic.
But how do you write this?
A blogger ~EbookFREE.me~ must bite the bullet and write superhero subjects? Isn't this trouble?
Cui Geng was ten thousand unhappy, but he found that Mr. Pei's ability to debate is indeed too strong, and he quickly lost his word.
Finally, he had to nod his head reluctantly: "Well, Mr. Pei, I will look at the comics of Hurricane Comics these days, and think about it..."
"However, you must not have too much hope. I will not be responsible if you spend the buyout money to pile up garbage."
Pei Qian was overjoyed, did you write a bunch of garbage? Then I can't ask 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 it is tried, there will always be failure!"
"The reason for the buyout is that the end Chinese website will take the risk, so that you can create freely without pressure!"
"Don't worry, try it boldly. If anything goes wrong, I'll take it all!"
