Pei Qian is still in his office, racking his brains for his graduation thesis.
During this time, he has re-read some key works on the Dingmin Chinese website, including the original work of "Successor", as well as the copywriting of many previous games and the scripts of the movies.
What can I say after chewing it? I can’t say it’s not helpful at all, but I still haven’t found the most suitable direction.
Pei Qian's biggest feeling is: Are these things really made by them under my inspiration?
Why does it feel so strange to me when I read it...
This feeling is a bit like digging out my own little study booklet many years after graduation and reading the composition above.
I feel like I should have been familiar with these words a long time ago, but now I only feel strange and confused.
"Ah...I need a million bits of inspiration and help."
"But this kind of thing is really hard to talk about!"
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, may ruin the character, and may not get the results he wants.
Because every one of this group of people is just a brain-filling monster!
If Pei Qian asks, they will definitely think: Does Mr. Pei not understand these connotations? He must! Then why does Mr. Pei still ask...
Is this what Mr. Pei is implying? Should I work harder and create better works?
Pei Qian has no doubt that this is indeed something they can do.
In other words, Pei Qian himself could not predict what kind of answer he would get or what uncontrollable consequences it would 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 our best to eliminate everyone's speculation factors and not letting the objective environment be affected by my intervention can we ensure the authenticity of the answers as much as possible."
"My enemy! It's like learning game design from Mr. He An."
"So... I actually need an online author study class or inspiration class."
"Moreover, I don't have to be there in person, whether it's a video or a handout, as long as I can get this valuable information from the side."
"Hey, by the way, did the last weekly report on the Chinese website of Destination mention that Cui Geng recently gave a lecture in the inspiration class, which had some repercussions on the Internet?"
Pei Qian hurriedly dug out the weekly newspaper sent by the Chinese website of the terminal on the computer, and found a message in it: after the success of "Successor", Cui Geng gave a lecture at the author's inspiration class of the Chinese website of the terminal. The content of the lecture was
It is the "creative direction of the inspiration class".
Pei Qian didn't look carefully at that time, he just remembered that Cui Geng was talking nonsense on the stage, saying that "President Pei personally gave instructions" and "should be based on the traditional cultural heritage and social phenomena of the Chinese people" and "conduct activities in line with the preferences of young people"
and the creation of flavors”…
At that time, someone recorded a video and posted it online. 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.
That’s outrageous!
Pei Qian was very angry, but firstly, this video was only circulated in a small area in the author's circle and did not create such a high level of popularity. Pei Qian still had many more things to worry about; secondly, Pei Qian had not yet determined the inspiration class.
It’s not appropriate to interfere hastily with the next development direction, so I just left it alone.
But now...
Pei Qian suddenly felt that he could draw some inspiration from it.
"It feels very strange. Someone has misinterpreted my meaning, and I still want to read the misinterpretation and use it to write my own paper..."
"Fuck, that's incredible! Where are these things?"
Pei Qian felt that his behavior was simply low, but he had no choice. For Mr. Kong's health and for Mr. Kong not to be angry with his paper, he still had to do what he had to do.
After finding the video, Pei Qian watched it from beginning to end.
"Well... although from my personal point of view, it's full of mistakes, but if you look at it from the perspective of a bystander who doesn't know the truth, it makes sense..."
"Moreover, if you really think about it from this perspective, it seems that you can really dig out something and find a point that is slightly combined with professional knowledge."
Pei Qian fell into deep thought.
Of course, Pei Qian cannot completely copy Cui Geng's theory, as that would be outrageous.
Because this video can be found online, if Pei Qian copied it completely, wouldn’t it be very embarrassing if someone picked it out?
Of course, even if it is found out, most people will think that this theory originally belonged to Mr. Pei, but it was just Cui Geng who inherited this theory and taught it in the inspiration class.
In other words, they will think that Mr. Pei is copying himself, but it is not considered copying.
But Pei Qian can't do this, because he is a bottom-line person. For papers, you can refer to a general direction, but you must have your own unique insights and practical information, and you cannot just listen to others.
"Cui Geng's remarks are mainly based on the actual situation of the inspiration class, explaining the creative model of the inspiration class to other authors. In other words, it can also be regarded as a large-scale experience exchange and sharing meeting for "Successor".
It has a certain guiding effect on the novel."
"Furthermore, the content he talked about was relatively thin. There was only one ready-made direction, but what was the specific situation of the general environment, what problems existed, and what was the need to solve these problems... He did not mention these contents at all."
"If I can get rid of Cui Geng's influence as much as possible and continue to dig deeper in this direction, maybe I can gain something."
"Well... In this way, the title of the paper can be 'Theory of Creation and Communication of Literary and Artistic Works in the New Era'. Hmm... No, the word 'new era' is too big. To be more precise, it should be'
Internet Age'."
"Moreover, the category of literary and artistic works is too broad, including serious literature. It should be called 'popular literary and artistic works'."
"So the title should be, the theory of creation and dissemination of popular literary and artistic works in the Internet era?"
"This topic is tentatively decided. If you feel it's inappropriate halfway through writing, you can change it again."
"It can include the difficulties faced by the dissemination of traditional literary and artistic works in the Internet era, the necessity of solving this problem, as well as the necessary factors and historical mission of the dissemination of popular literary and artistic works in the Internet era..."
Pei Qian simply followed this direction and found that there was indeed a lot of content that could be written. It was more than enough to support an undergraduate thesis.
However, there are two problems.
The first problem is that this topic is a bit too big.
For things like papers, each level has its own scope and fields that each level can cover.
For undergraduates, it is important to have some ideas in mind. It is best to choose a very small field as the entry point. If you want to write about a larger field, neither the ability nor the length of the paper will be enough to support it.
In the future, when you study for a master's degree or a Ph.D., and work your way up step by step, you will be qualified to continuously expand the scope of your thesis.
This is considered common sense.
As far as this paper is concerned, although the two qualifiers "Internet era" and "popular genre" are added, the scope is still very broad. It includes general popcorn blockbusters, online novels, animated comics, online short videos, etc.
etc., all can be included in this scope.
If you want to write a paper on such a large scope, you feel like you don't know the scope of the matter and you don't know your own abilities.
The second problem is that Pei Qian can only bite the bullet and write in this direction. It is completely uncontrollable to what extent the paper he writes can reach.
He also hopes that he is really at the level that everyone thinks of Mr. Pei, but he is not!
Even previous works such as "Better Tomorrow" and "Struggle" were all based on deception and had to be re-interpreted by oneself.
Although there are these two serious problems, Pei Qian thought about it and still had this choice.
Because he really couldn't think of any better direction, and both of these shortcomings could be overcome.
It doesn’t matter if what you write is uncontrollable. Write it first and then talk about it. Anyway, there will be someone to check it when the time comes, and you can slowly modify it later.
As for the topic being too big, there should be no problem.
Although undergraduates are not qualified to write such a relatively large topic, the qualification requirements for undergraduate papers are also low!
Others may be called back if they write this kind of topic, but Pei Qian is Pei Qian after all. I believe that the professors during the defense should be lenient for the sake of the school and Mr. Kong.
In short, this is the most feasible direction that Pei Qian can find at present.
After briefly smoothing out his ideas, Pei Qian decided to write briefly in this direction and first create 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, Meng Chang came to pay the 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 model was just changed in the middle of this month, and Meng Chang was given a resurrection armor.
The publicity for "Successor" in the first half of the month was naturally a complete failure, but the publicity 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 has spent a lot of money on promotion, but no matter how much money he spends, the popularity of this game has always been tepid.
I have to say, this is a good sign!
Although Pei Qian didn't quite understand how Meng Chang's promotion strategy for "Ghost General 2" was implemented, it was obvious that Meng Chang was well versed in the art of war.
Pei Qian couldn't guess, but he believed that Meng Chang and he were on the same side.
Even if the promotion plan for the second half of the month is fully commissioned, it will only be 100,000 yuan, and this time Meng Chang will get 70,000 yuan from "Ghost General 2", which is not a lot, but it is still a lot.
Compared with the previous model of "one sudden death, GG for the whole month", this is already quite benevolent.
Meng Chang just glanced at it and handed the laptop back.
He no longer cares about how much commission he has received. He came to see the amount of commission just for a formality. More importantly, he cannot miss this opportunity for Mr. Pei to make a recommendation and teach Mr. Pei's propaganda method.
