Chapter 414 Mr. Pei shouldn't hold grudges, right?
At the same time, Ma Yiqun is also paying attention to Cui Geng's new book.
Although Ma Yiqun is now the CEO of the endpoint, it should be the editors and chief editors' job to pay attention to new books, but it happens to be the Chinese New Year period, and he is idle at home.
As for the author Cui Geng, Ma Yiqun has also heard about him for a long time and is aware of his "severe evil deeds".
However, no matter how you say it, Cui Geng still has talent.
An author who is talented but not diligent is better than an author who is not talented but diligent.
After all, online writing is a creative industry. In many cases, it doesn’t matter how fast you write, but how well you write.
If the content is not good, no matter how fast you write, you will only accelerate the production of garbage.
"Butterfly Game" has just been released not long ago, and the status of the comment section is obviously not much better.
Ma Yiqun ignored this and started reading directly.
The pace at the beginning is very fast. After the identity of the protagonist is briefly introduced, the golden finger is obtained directly. After a brief introduction to how to use the golden finger, the official plot begins.
On New Year's Eve, Cui Geng directly posted five chapters. These five chapters have completed a small plot.
It starts from the protagonist obtaining the permission of "Butterfly Game" to helping the first supporting character independent game producer realize his dream.
The content of the first small plot is very simple, which is equivalent to a preview of the core cool points.
An independent game producer who was impoverished but never gave up on his dream produced a game with simple materials but interesting gameplay, but no one cared about it because he had no money to promote it.
The protagonist discovered him while observing the parallel world, so through his own authority, he found an up owner in the game area, and used his golden finger to let the up owner "happen" to download the game and play it.
stand up.
As a result, the game suddenly became popular due to the publicity of this up owner, and it has been out of control since then, and this independent game producer was able to continue his dream.
After reading this short plot, there is a single chapter by Cui Gengfa.
The content of the single chapter is very simple. On the one hand, it is to apologize to all readers for the old book. On the other hand, it is to emphasize that this new book is a new book that I have carefully thought about. The content is absolutely wonderful. Please have a little patience. During the Chinese New Year period
He decided to stay behind closed doors and update 10,000 words every day.
After reading these contents, the horses fell into deep thought.
He has been writing about the Internet for such a long time, and he has been paying attention to the trends of the Internet recently, so he can naturally see some clues.
Is there a problem with this? There certainly is.
But, there are also advantages!
The ones currently on the market are still dominated by the passionate formula of "Don't bully young people into poverty", and the ways to mobilize readers' emotions are mainly through relatively simple and crude methods such as suppression, inciting hatred and revenge.
The city has also developed well, but as a whole it has not escaped this big framework. Many of the kings of soldiers, school beauties, and rebirth themes are basically more traditional show-offs and slaps in the face.
As for "Butterfly Game", it can be seen from the underlying structure that it is very different from the currently popular ones.
First of all, it re-planned the early routine while maintaining a fast pace.
Most people today are still popular with the so-called "Three Golden Chapters", which is a fixed cycle of "suppression, getting a golden finger, and a slap in the face".
This routine cannot be said to be bad, but it has a tendency to be overused. Many readers instinctively feel a little nauseous after seeing it.
"Butterfly Game" completely abandons this routine. There is no depressing part in the beginning. The protagonist directly gets the golden finger, and there is no "slap in the face" plot, and he directly enters his own unique and exciting point.
Secondly, the "coolness" of this film is expressed in a completely different way from others.
The current Internet is "simple and crude coolness", which is commonly known as "pretending to be cool".
But the cool thing about "Butterfly Game" is the sneaky coolness. The protagonist uses the light ball in his hand to create a butterfly effect in the parallel world with some very small changes, thereby achieving some very interesting results.
The feeling of satisfaction that the protagonist gets is not as obvious as the traditional slap in the face, but is more subtle, but this feeling of satisfaction can also bring spiritual pleasure to the readers.
Moreover, regardless of the sense of accomplishment gained by the protagonist, if you put yourself into the role of the book, such as the frustrated game producer, you can also get a kind of happiness.
This kind of happiness is a bit like a fairy tale for adults. As we all know, most independent game producers have a narrow escape in the games they make due to lack of publicity.
In reality, many independent game producers can only reluctantly give up their game dreams, but in the game, his dream comes true because of the "butterfly effect" created by the protagonist. This is also a refreshing feeling for readers.
If the popular dish now is braised pork, then this one is like a simple dish of tomatoes mixed with sugar.
Braised pork is certainly delicious, but when the table is full of all kinds of braised pork and a dish of tomatoes mixed with sugar is served, it will definitely be eaten up quickly.
Not only that, Ma Yiqun seems to have seen some shadows of Tengda in this book.
He felt that this story seemed to be based on Mr. Pei. After all, when Mr. Pei was working on "Lonely Desert Highway", he suddenly became famous because of a video of Qiao Laoshi.
With the revenue from this game, Mr. Pei had the money to make "Ghost General" and earned the first pot of gold to establish Tengda Group.
Therefore, this story is particularly close to the Ma group.
Considering these aspects, Ma Yiqun has a hunch that if this book can be written well, it will definitely be a big hit at the end!
But, is the writing of this book perfect enough?
Ma Yiqun thinks that is not necessarily the case.
There are still some places where small changes can be made. After the changes are completed, the book will be even better!
Just in time, Cui Geng hasn't written much yet and the boat is small enough to turn around, so hurry up and revise it!
Thinking of this, Ma Yiqun directly called Cui Geng.
"Mr. Ma, I am just typing! Don't worry, I will definitely write this book well and it will never be unfinished again! I will write at least two million words!"
Before the Ma group could say anything, Cui Geng had already begun to express his determination.
"Haha, guess how many times you have said this?"
Ma Yiqun's words left Cui Geng speechless.
"Okay, that's not why I called you." Ma Yiqun smiled and got to the point, "I do want to tell you about the new book, but other than telling you to write this book well and not to finish it badly,
Besides, there are some other things.”
Cui Geng was stunned: "Mr. Ma, please speak."
Ma Yiqun said: "I personally have some small opinions. I will tell you briefly. If you think it is suitable, you can change it. If it is not suitable, forget it. It can be regarded as a collective effort to write this book well."
"I am very optimistic about your book, so I want to help you polish the content of this book better."
Cui Geng was a little flattered: "You said it."
Ma Yiqun organized his thoughts a little and explained his thoughts in detail.
"I can see that the theme of the first subplot seems to be based on Mr. Pei. Tengda does have many interesting stories, and it is not a bad idea to use them as inspiration. However, I think the artistic processing you performed is still a bit insufficient."
"My opinions mainly include two points:"
"First of all, I feel that the protagonist, as a pure bystander, does not participate enough in the plot."
"It's not a big problem to treat the protagonist as a pure tool. Some books do this, but it would be more interesting if it could be connected to the plot."
"This is how I imagined it: the ball of light that the protagonist gets is not a parallel world, but the real world where he lives."
"Every action the protagonist takes actually changes the world and makes the world he lives in better."
"At the same time, the protagonist can also benefit from his own actions. For example, he helps an entrepreneur build a business empire worth hundreds of billions, and the protagonist can use his own money to buy the company before the empire is formed.
stocks, so he himself also obtained huge profits and changed his life."
"Moreover, the protagonist, as a person in the dark, participates in these interactions and can meet the supporting characters in reality. At this time, many interesting plots will also occur."
"Secondly, I think the tone of the book could use a change."
"The current writing method is mainly a positive narrative, which is more direct."
"The so-called direct pleasure is: I did what I wanted to do, and I succeeded."
"This way of writing is certainly safe, but it may not be very attractive to readers."
"I wonder if we can use an anti-routine narrative method to further strengthen the sense of misunderstanding in 'Butterfly Game', make the story more twists and turns, and make the storyline more humorous."
"To put it simply: I didn't want to do anything, an accident happened, and things went against my expectations, but I succeeded."
"Specifically speaking about the first plot you wrote, the cool summary so far is: the independent game author wants to succeed, the protagonist helps him through the 'Butterfly Game', and the independent game author succeeds."
"After modification, the summary of Shuangdian can become like this: the independent game author does not want to succeed, he just wants to make a game to retaliate against society. The protagonist thinks this game is very interesting, and uses the 'Butterfly Game' to help him, and then the independent game author
It worked."
"In the process of writing, pay attention to using more humorous writing methods. This kind of plot should be able to stand out from the current traditional plots."
"Understand?"
On the other end of the phone, Cui Geng was silent, seeming to be trying hard to digest what Ma Yiqun had just said.
After a long time, he said "Yes" meaningfully: "Mr. Ma makes a lot of sense!"
"Indeed, when I was writing this beginning, I always felt as if something was missing."
"It's like a dish. The ingredients are all there and the heat is about the same, but it's always missing a little bit of flavor!"
"If these two points can be made up, this book will definitely be even more outstanding!"
"But...Mr. Ma, I have a doubt."
A group of horses: "Huh? What are your concerns?"
Cui Geng hesitated for a moment and then said: "To be honest, the plot of this game producer is indeed based on Mr. Pei."
"But, will the current way of writing vilify Mr. Pei's image?"
