Chapter 883 Professional equipment for the inspiration class!
Wednesday, February 8th.
Min Jingchao, Ye Zhizhou and the FV Club set off for the Shanghai Airport and flew directly to Los Angeles again to make up for their vacation.
Before leaving, everyone took the time to deal with all the work at hand.
Especially Min Jingchao, according to President Pei's request yesterday, he took the time to ask his designers to change the heroic character of "Mission and Decision" and GOG linkage from Qin Yi to "Skylark", from a specific character to a
A symbolic and broad role.
Ye Zhizhou, on the other hand, cooperated with Wang Xiaobin at Yangyang Games to come up with a rough game design plan for smart fitness clothes drying racks.
As the coach of the DGE club, Zhou Pengyuan also assigned training tasks to the new batch of DGE players before leaving. The daily training matches and high-end ranking rounds will continue. When he comes back from Los Angeles, he will check. The players who have not completed it are
Needs more practice.
Everyone else has also handed over their work to other colleagues, ensuring that they can completely put down their work and take a vacation as much as they want when they return to Los Angeles.
Of course, the members of FV Club have no work to hand over, and they are still immersed in the joy of winning the championship.
The popularity of the FV club and its players has skyrocketed. As the owner of the club, Wu Yue has been a little tired of talking about various live broadcast contracts and commercial endorsements recently. He just took this opportunity to go to Los Angeles for a few more days to change his mood.
The group of people left Jingzhou happily and headed to the Magic City.
Among them, the only one who is out of tune with everyone is Bao Xu.
He had just finished spending the five-day trip that was his grand prize at the annual meeting, and within a few hours of returning to Jingzhou, he was already packing his bags and setting off again.
On the high-speed train heading to Shanghai, everyone else was discussing their trip to the United States in high spirits. Only Bao Xu slumped in his seat, looking at the scene of the high-speed train retreating rapidly outside the window, his expression dull.
…
At the same time, Cui Geng came out of the high-speed rail station in Jingzhou, took a taxi, and headed to the location of the finishing class.
Looking at the familiar city scenery outside the window, Cui Geng sighed quietly, feeling an inexplicable melancholy.
"How can I be full of motivation in my life?"
Cui Geng asked this question that struck straight to the soul.
At this time, he actually has three identities: the second generation of demolition, the top author of the end point, and the special observer of Tenda Group.
These three identities all have a common feature, which is that it severely weakens his motivation to fight. The combination of the three keeps him in a state of "intermittent complacency and continuous eating and waiting for death."
It takes a lot of effort to work up the energy and want to work hard, but within two days, all the fighting spirit will be gone.
Cui Geng has been in a state of running back and forth between his hometown and Jingzhou.
It's not that he likes the life of a business person, it's mainly that he feels that if he stays in the same environment for a long time, he will easily develop a mentality of slacking off. Changing the environment can encourage him to work hard again.
Even if it's just three minutes of heat, it's better than a pool of stagnant water.
But this has had little effect.
And to make matters worse, "Butterfly Game" was completed some time ago.
The good news is that the book was completed normally and there was no unfinished ending. Although the last part was written very slowly, it ended up being nearly 3 million words, giving an ending that satisfies most readers.
For Cui Geng, this is a historic breakthrough, and it is also an earth-shattering thing for readers who have been criticized by him countless times.
The bad news is that all the inspiration he had accumulated before has been basically used up. He wrote several beginnings of the new book, but after reading it several times, he felt completely unsatisfied, so he deleted them all, and they are still there today.
Open a new book.
This made Cui Geng feel that his creation had fallen into a very embarrassing situation, and his creative passion was deteriorating.
Of course, in addition to his two identities as the second generation and the author of online articles, Cui Geng also has another identity, that is, a special observer of Tenda Group.
As a special observer, he collected a lot of materials for "Butterfly Game" and also helped Wu Bin from the Human Resources Department to compile an annotated version of "Tengda Spirit Manual".
But Cui Geng is very smart at heart. He knows that he is just an ordinary online article writer who understands neither business nor management, so he only occasionally goes to various departments of Tenda to collect materials. There is never any layman to guide the expert.
, affecting the work of various departments of Tenda.
Therefore, his status as a "special observer" only gave him a pass to freely enter and exit various departments of Tenda Group.
Some time ago, Cui Geng held it in for a long time at the end of the study class, but nothing came out, and the new book still had no clue.
So Cui Geng went home for a few days during the Spring Festival and spent a few days sleeping in, reading, and completely forgetting about the new book.
As a result, Cui Geng got the news from editor-in-chief Zhu Xing'an that the terminal was going to hold an "inspiration class" just a few days after the new year.
He also sent him a warm invitation and asked him if he was willing to write a buyout. He also said that Mr. Pei was particularly concerned about this matter and would notify Cui Geng by name first.
As soon as he heard that a buyout was to be written, Cui Geng was instinctively unhappy.
I am a top author who is not short of money, and I have my own pursuits in writing books!
At present, the online writing industry has been developing for a certain period of time, and the two forms of payment of royalties, buyout and split, have always existed.
Authors have long had a consensus: except for a very small number of authors who can continue to write at a high level and achieve a win-win situation even if they write about buyouts, most authors who write about buyouts either lose money or go bankrupt.
These authors who wrote about buyouts may have written hit works, but the buyout system means that all income except the fixed royalties has nothing to do with them, which is a huge loss for the authors; and some authors, in order not to lose money,
If you don’t write with 100% of your strength, you will become increasingly unable to keep up with the trend. Your writing will collapse, and your writing will become useless. If you go back and write down your share, no one will read it.
So when Cui Geng heard that he was invited to write a buyout, his first reaction was to refuse.
However, after Zhu Xing'an introduced it to him, Cui Geng discovered that there seemed to be a big difference between the buyout of the terminal and the buyout of other websites, and they were not the same thing at all.
The biggest difference is that the word count is less and the price is higher!
Take Cui Geng as an example. If an external website poaches him, it will only be a little higher than his current manuscript fee at most. After all, Cui Geng is already the head author of the terminal, and his manuscript fee is already very high. There is actually nothing much higher than that.
There is room for improvement. If you dig hard, it will be too risky for those external sites, and the gain will not be worth the loss.
But the end point required between 100,000 and 500,000 words, no more than 500,000 words, and the 1,000-word manuscript fee he was given was three times his original manuscript fee!
And after adopting this new buyout model, you can also get priority to experience the "Inspiration Class".
Although Cui Geng didn't know exactly where the "inspiration class" was, the "study class" did have an immediate improvement effect on his creation, helping him evolve from a gurgling spirit to a person who could finish books normally and write new ideas.
serious author.
So can this "inspiration class" save his inspiration that is on the verge of drying up?
Cui Geng was very curious.
Out of this complicated mentality, Cui Geng came to Jingzhou again.
…
Soon, the taxi arrived at its destination.
This "inspiration class" is in the same office building as the original "study class", but on different floors.
The previous "study class" was very successful. It has been held for many sessions and has gradually expanded in scale. It started with only one room and has now expanded to three rooms.
Even so, the authors of the terminal still participate enthusiastically, and the number of registrations is always full, requiring careful selection by the editors.
The "Inspiration Class" has fewer places, and only the top author of the end point can participate.
After Cui Geng arrived at his destination, he put his luggage at the hotel and then went straight to the "inspiration class".
Although the "Inspiration Class" will only officially open tomorrow, Cui Geng has already been to the class many times and is familiar with the roads, so he came to the door easily.
Arriving at the floor where the "Inspiration Class" was located, Cui Geng saw a few familiar editors cleaning up.
The editors were also very familiar with Cui Geng. After greeting him, they allowed him to enter the "Inspiration Class" area to watch freely.
Cui Geng's first feeling was that this space was too big!
Although they are in the same office building, the "study classes" and "inspiration classes" are on different floors and occupy different areas.
The "Inspiration Class" has only one-half the number of people in the "Study Class", but it occupies more than twice the area of the "Study Class"!
If you take a closer look, the equipment in the "Inspiration Class" is completely different from the "Study Class".
There are standard computer tables and chairs in the "study class". At first glance, they look similar to the structure of an Internet cafe or computer room. But in fact, the chairs are ergonomic chairs, and the height of the table has been specially adjusted, all to allow the authors to have a better experience.
Comfortable coding experience.
However, there is no ergonomic chair in the "Inspiration Class". Instead, there is a single functional sofa from a famous foreign brand!
Compared with this kind of high-end single-person functional sofa, the common point between ergonomic chairs and this kind of sofa is that they are all ergonomic and will not cause fatigue even if you sit for a long time. Compared with other seats, they have less impact on your health.
Of course, no matter how good the ergonomics are, you will still feel tired after sitting for a long time, and you need to get up and move every once in a while. But at least ergonomics will reduce the burden on the body.
The difference between the two is that the ergonomic chair is used for office use, while the single-person functional sofa is used for leisure.
In order to provide customers with the best movie-watching experience, many high-end VIP seats in movie theaters also use this high-end single-seat functional sofa. The back chair can be electrically adjusted, making it very comfortable whether you are sitting, half-lying or cross-legged.
Since there is no office chair, there is no need for a desk. Directly opposite the single-person functional sofa is a floor-to-ceiling TV cabinet, and above it is a high-end OLED TV supported by a bracket for optimal viewing height and viewing distance.
OLED TV is the latest technology in recent years. Its size is much smaller than traditional TV, but its price is as high as tens of thousands of yuan. The reason why it is so expensive is mainly because OLED TV has an extremely low screen response time of about 1 millisecond, and there is almost no screen drag.
In the case of shadows, pixel-level light control can be achieved, and it has an almost infinitely high contrast ratio, so the HDR effect is better. At the same time, the colors are pure and the color gamut is naturally high... In short, the picture quality performance in most aspects is excellent.
You can get better results by using traditional TV to watch movies and play games.
Of course, compared with those equally expensive e-sports monitors, the refresh rate of TVs will be much lower. But the TVs in the "Inspiration Class" are mainly used for watching movies and playing console games, so the refresh rate requirements are not that high.
, or the big screen is more important.
Although it is smaller than a traditional TV in size, it is one for each person to watch closely, so considering the size and picture quality, this is the best choice for watching movies.
On the floor-to-ceiling TV cabinet, there are ROF consoles, game consoles and various high-definition Blu-ray discs. The bookshelf covering the front wall behind it is also filled with Blu-ray discs and physical books of various movies.
Next to the single function sofa, there are high-end headphones, mouse and keyboard, and a foldable small table.
In addition, there is a light next to each person's single sofa, and you can choose whether to turn it on or off. When you are tired from watching movies, you can also read a book.
Cui Geng was a little surprised and asked the editor: "Would it be uncomfortable to code in this place?"
Although the single-seat functional sofa is very comfortable to sit on and is suitable for watching movies and playing games, it is not necessarily suitable for coding.
After all, the sitting posture on the single-seat functional sofa is not specifically used for coding.
The editor explained: "Oh, that keyboard and mouse are for emergency use, such as typing to search for videos, recording inspiration at any time, etc."
"If you really want to create, go to the work area over there."
Cui Geng turned around and saw that there was another office area next to it, with a standard desk, ergonomic chair and mechanical keyboard, completely separated from the area here.
Obviously, the purpose of this area, whether it is a TV, a single sofa or a Blu-ray disc, is to allow the authors to concentrate on watching movies and collecting inspiration and materials.
It has already been arranged in this way, and obviously there will be no "little black room" or other programs that force coding time every day.
The editor explained: "There is also a large audio-visual room over there. The entire room has been soundproofed. It has theater-level projectors and audio equipment. You can order movies on demand and make reservations for use."
"If you want to achieve the best viewing effect and watch a complete movie, you can go there. If you are just collecting materials and don't have high requirements for picture quality, or you are skipping to watch, then you are in your place.
That’s it.”
Cui Geng couldn't help being shocked when he listened to the editor's introduction.
