At the same time, there is an inspiration class for authors on the Dingmin Chinese website.
Cui Geng looked at the time and saw that he got off work in 2 hours.
The week has gone by in the blink of an eye, and tomorrow is the weekend again.
He left the audio-visual area of the inspiration class, then went to the work area to find an empty computer and began to continue composing the plot of "Successor".
I work 8 hours a day, 6 of which are spent watching various movies, TV series, and collecting materials for comics. Only 2 hours can be used for creation. This is a rigid rule of the "inspiration class".
At the beginning, Cui Geng felt that 2 hours was too short and he was very uncomfortable with it.
After all, when he was writing about the Internet, this time was exactly the opposite. He could collect materials for 2 hours at most, and the rest of the time was spent coding.
After only 2 hours of coding time, Cui Geng always felt as if the coding was over before it even started, which was quite uncomfortable.
In the first half of the week, Cui Geng felt that his creative rhythm was a bit wrong. He often started to get better after 2 hours, and then the time was up.
The computer here in the office area will record the writing time of each author, and no more writing will be allowed if it exceeds 2 hours.
Of course, it doesn't matter if the author writes on his laptop after get off work or on weekends, or goes to an Internet cafe to write. But in this buyout creative model, there are no requirements for the number of updates and the number of words in the entire book. If you choose to participate Which of the authors of the "Inspiration Class" would use their rest time to code?
So it was a little difficult for Cui Geng to adapt at the beginning. He wrote slowly, and readers couldn't wait, so he got scolded a lot.
But gradually, his creative mode adjusted.
Now he spends 6 hours a day collecting materials and finalizing the details of the story, and the remaining 2 hours can be used to concentrate on writing. All the content has been carefully considered, and there are basically no glitches.
Moreover, because I had to compress everything I wanted to write today into 2 hours, the compactness of the story seems to have become better.
After gradually adapting to this creative rhythm, Cui Geng felt that it was quite good.
Cui Geng came to the workspace, turned on the computer and quickly got into the mood. He quickly tapped the keyboard with both hands, and the storylines quickly turned from the ideas in his mind into actual words.
Cui Geng didn't dare to delay for a moment, because he knew that as soon as it was time to get off work, all the mice in the office area would "come alive" and run around like real mice, unable to catch them anymore.
You have to hurry up and finish today's work before these mice run away.
This week, the "Inspiration Class" has also grown stronger.
More authors from the Dingmin Chinese website have completed their old books, accepted new buyout creative agreements, and come to the "inspiration class" to collect materials and create at the same time.
But most of them still get scolded.
Readers of the Dingmin Chinese website are already aware of the existence of this "inspiration class", and their opinions are growing.
Because only a small number of authors from the Dingmin Chinese website had finished an old book and started writing Tengda's IP customized articles, the range of readers affected was not that wide.
But now, more and more authors are affected!
Over the past week or so, readers have seen that one after another the authors who have finished the old books are "unsafe", and there are fewer new books that they like to read. Naturally, they are very dissatisfied and feel that the Chinese website of Dingmin.com is just messing around.
If you give directions blindly and aim too high, if you take too big steps, you will easily get hurt.
However, there was no response from the Dingmin Chinese website.
The authors' reactions varied.
Some people think that this current creative method is quite good, as they are very leisurely and can freely write what they like, ignoring the protests of readers; while another group of authors regret it, feeling that they are not satisfied with the content they wrote, and the readers are not satisfied either.
Not satisfied, I thought that after finishing this story, I would go back and continue writing traditional divided works.
Obviously, after a month or two, the "inspiration class" will filter out a group of authors and leave a group of authors.
But no matter what, everyone must still fulfill the current creative contract first. Fortunately, the maximum word count requirement is only 500,000 words, and it can definitely be completed in three months at most without delay.
As for Ma Yiqun and Zhu Xing'an, the editors of the Dingmin Chinese website, they all implemented Mr. Pei's request and chose to let go.
Cui Geng doesn't care about these contents. It doesn't matter to him whether the other authors want to go back and write the profit sharing or continue to write buyout customization.
He now wants to finish writing the story of "Successor" with peace of mind.
Even if everyone doesn't like watching it, it's still a good attempt for him.
Last weekend, Cui Geng had already written the beginning of "Successor".
Within this week, Cui Geng has almost completed the outline of the follow-up story of "Successor", and the follow-up is to continuously improve the details of each plot.
…
Phil Simmons, a playboy with no special talents, decided to become a superhero. He received strong support from his rich father and was able to use a huge amount of $2 billion to realize his dream of becoming a superhero.
Phil also conducted a very detailed investigation and learned the four steps for ordinary people to become superheroes in this era:
Find a way to become a superhero apprentice and make a successful debut;
Be cautious in your words and actions during the observation period and accumulate supporters;
Participate in a superhero campaign and become the spokesperson of a certain group;
Become the top superhero and the most powerful and status person in Hope City and even the entire United States.
Phil knew very well that for ordinary people, it would be extremely difficult to take this road.
There are tens of millions of people in the United States who have the dream of being a superhero, but only a few hundred people can complete the first step; only a few dozen people can complete the second step; only a dozen people can complete the third step; truly
Only a few people can stand on the top of the pyramid.
Moreover, Phil is not the first rich man to want to spend money to become a superhero.
In Hope City, there are at least dozens of super-rich people who are richer than his father, Ryan Simmons, but most of them have failed to become superheroes.
Most of them will choose another path: indirectly exerting influence by holding superhero talent shows, providing campaign funds for superheroes, or investing in superheroes before they debut.
When a large conglomerate becomes the financial backer of many superheroes, although these superheroes are not his lacklusters, they will still give him enough face in most cases.
But the problem is that this kind of influence cannot be achieved by simply sending money.
Ryan Simmons is also a well-known rich man in Hope City, but Phil is not able to do whatever he wants because they do not have such strong control over superheroes.
All the Simmons family can control are some relatively weak superheroes.
The people of the United States do not allow superheroes to become lackeys of large consortiums, so there are many restrictions in the system.
For example: large consortiums can provide campaign funds to superheroes, but they must be voluntary and indirect. They can exert influence, but cannot completely control;
Behind a powerful superhero, there is definitely not just one large consortium, but a community of interests formed by multiple large consortiums. There will also be checks and balances between these large consortiums, not to mention that superheroes can use the "popular will" as an excuse.
Reject the request of a large consortium;
If there is a problem with a large consortium, the superhero will immediately cut off from it, and may even "kill relatives" and personally deal with the large consortium that stands in front of him.
To sum it up, it is the entire plutocratic class that controls superheroes, but when it comes to a specific rich man or plutocrat, he may also be a piece of meat on the chopping block.
The superheroes at the top have powerful combat power, huge influence, and even hold huge funds themselves. They themselves have become invisible rich people and plutocrats. For these superheroes, they can already control them in turn.
Other rich people.
Rich people like the Simmons family are nothing at all in the eyes of truly top superheroes.
Big chaebols will also fight overtly and covertly for superheroes, and the Simmons family obviously has no advantage in this regard.
That's why Rhine Simmons is willing to spend half of his worth to bet on the future fate of the Simmons family and support Phil Simmons to become a superhero.
