January 31st, Thursday

Pei Qian was still in his office, racking his brains for his graduation thesis.

During this period of time, he had already revised the key works on Zhongdian Chinese Network, including the original version of Successor, the synopsis of many games and the scripts of movies.

What should he say after he was done? He could not say that it was completely useless, but he still did not find the most suitable direction.

Pei Qians greatest feeling was that these things were really made by them under his inspiration?

Why do I feel so foreign when I read it

It felt like he had found his primary school exercise book many years after graduation and was reading the composition on it.

He felt that he should have been very familiar with these words a long time ago. However, there was only a sense of unfamiliarity and confusion now.

Ah I need some inspiration and help.

However, this is a little hard to talk about!

Pei Qian felt that the best way was to ask Zhu Xiaoce or Cui Geng. However, the problem was that this matter was a little awkward. It might destroy his character, and he might not be able to get the results he wanted.

That was because all of these people were imaginative monsters!

If Pei Qian were to ask, they would definitely think: Would Boss Pei not understand these connotations? He would definitely understand! Why would Boss Pei ask then

Was Boss Pei hinting something? Did he want me to work harder to create better works?

Pei Qian had no doubt that this was indeed something they could do.

In other words, Pei Qian himself could not predict the kind of answer he would get and the uncontrollable consequences.

If you want to obtain the right answer as much as possible, the best way is not to go there as Boss Pei, but to understand it from the perspective of a bystander and obtain relevant information from the side.

We can only try our best to eliminate everyones imagination and not let the objective environment be affected by my intervention to ensure the authenticity of the answers as much as possible.

Thats right! Its just like when I learnt game design from Old Master He An.

In that case I actually need an online authors cla.s.s or inspiration cla.s.s.

Whats more, I dont have to come to the scene personally. It doesnt matter if its a video or a story. I just have to obtain valuable information from the side.

Eh, thats right. Didnt Zhongdian Chinese Networks weekly report mention that Cui Geng gave a talk in the inspiration cla.s.s recently and received some response online?

Pei Qian quickly found the weekly report from Zhongdian Chinese Network on his computer. Indeed, he found a message in it: Cui Geng had opened a talk in Zhongdian Chinese Networks inspiration cla.s.s after the success of Successor. The content was the creative direction of the inspiration cla.s.s.

At that time, Pei Qian did not take a closer look. He only remembered Cui Geng spouting nonsense on stage, saying that it was something like Boss Peis personal guidance, traditional cultural and social phenomena of the countrymen, creative creation that suited the taste and preferences of young people

At that time, someone recorded the video and posted it online. The most infuriating thing was that the number of views for this video was quite high! Many authors were reposting it!

The authors who had not entered the inspiration cla.s.s treated it as a stepping stone to enter the inspiration cla.s.s. The authors who had already entered the inspiration cla.s.s treated it as their creative direction in the inspiration cla.s.s.

Ridiculous!

Pei Qian was very angry. However, this video had only been spread in the authors circle and did not cause such a high popularity. Pei Qian had many more things to worry about. Secondly, Pei Qian had not confirmed the next step of the inspiration cla.s.s. It was not appropriate to interfere rashly, so he did not bother.

But now

Pei Qian suddenly felt like he could draw some inspiration from it.

It feels very strange. Others misinterpret my meaning, but I have to watch the content of his misunderstanding be used to write my own thesis

F*ck, simply! What is going on!

Pei Qian felt that his actions were extremely low-cla.s.s. However, he had no choice. He had to do what he had to do for the sake of Prof Kongs health and for the sake of Prof Kongs safety.

After finding the video, Pei Qian watched it from beginning to end.

Hmm even though from my personal point of view, everything is wrong, everything makes sense from a bystanders point of view

Whats more, if you think about it from this perspective, you can indeed dig out something and find a point that can be combined with professional knowledge.

Pei Qian fell into deep in thought.

Of course, Pei Qian could not copy Cui Gengs theory completely. That would be ridiculous.

That was because this video could be found online. Wouldnt it be very awkward if Pei Qian were to copy it completely?

Of course, even if they were found out, everyone would probably think that this theory was Boss Peis to begin with. It was just that Cui Geng had spoken about it in the inspiration cla.s.s after he inherited this theory.

In other words, they would think that Boss Pei was copying himself and not himself.

However, Pei Qian could not do that because he had a bottom line. He could refer to a general direction for the thesis, but he had to have his own unique insights and work. He could not listen to everything else.

Cui Gengs speech is mainly based on the reality of the inspiration cla.s.s. He explained the creative model of the inspiration cla.s.s to other authors. In other words, it can also be seen as a large-scale experience sharing session of Successor. It only has a certain guiding effect on novels.

Whats more, the content he spoke was relatively simple. There was only one ready-made direction, but he did not mention the specific environment, the problems that existed, and the need to solve these problems

If I can abandon Cui Gengs influence as much as possible and continue digging in this direction, I might be able to gain something.

Hmm this way, the t.i.tle of the thesis can be the creation and transmission theory of new-age art works. Hmm no, the word new-age is too big. More accurately, it should be internet age.

Whats more, the scope of the artistic works is too broad. The serious literature includes it. It should be called a popular artistic work.

So the t.i.tle should be the creation and transmission theory of popular literary works in the online age?

Temporarily set this question. If you feel that its not appropriate halfway through, you can change it.

This can include the difficulties faced by the transmission of traditional literary works in the online age and background, the need to solve this problem, and the necessary factors and historical mission for the transmission of popular literary works in the online age

Pei Qian briefly 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 were two problems.

The first question was that this question was a little too big.

Every level of a thesis had its scope and scope.

As an undergraduate, he had to know what to do. It would be best if he could choose a small field as an entry point. If he wanted to write more, both his ability and the length of the thesis would not be enough.

He would be able to expand the scope of his thesis only if he were to study masters and PhDs in the future.

That was common knowledge.

This thesis might have included the two restrictions of internet age and popular category but this range was still very wide. It could include general popcorn blockbusters, online novels, animation comics, online short videos, and so on.

It felt like he was overestimating his own abilities to write a thesis on such a large scale.

The second problem was that Pei Qian could only bite the bullet and write in this direction. The level of the thesis he wrote was completely uncontrollable.

He hoped that he was really as good as everyone imagined him to be, but he did not!

Even the previous works like Tomorrow is Beautiful and Struggle had been blindly produced. He had to re-explain himself.

These two were more serious problems but Pei Qian could only choose this after some thought.

That was because he really could not think of a better direction. Whats more, he could think of ways to overcome these two shortcomings.

It did not matter if he could not control what he wrote. He would write it first. In any case, someone would keep an eye on it when the time came. He could slowly modify it in the future.

There shouldnt be a problem if the questions were too big.

Undergraduate students might not be qualified to write such a huge question, but the requirements for undergraduate thesis were also low!

Others might be beaten back for writing such questions, but Pei Qian was Pei Qian after all. He believed that the professors during the dissertation would give the school and Prof Kong face and would let him off.

All in all, this was the most feasible direction that Pei Qian could find at the moment.

After smoothing out his thoughts, Pei Qian decided to follow this direction and come up with a general framework.

Not long after he saved the doc.u.ment, he heard a knock on his office door.

Pei Qian looked up and saw Meng Chang.

At the end of the month, Meng Chang came to match the commission.

Pei Qian found the commission figure on his laptop and handed it over.

Not bad, work harder.

He had just changed his commission mode in the middle of this month and put a revival armor on Meng Chang.

The publicity for Successor in the first half a month was naturally a complete failure. However, the publicity for Ghost General 2 in the next half a month seemed to be quite effective.

Ghost General 2 was about to be officially released. Meng Chang had also spent a lot of money on publicity. However, no matter how much money he spent, the popularity of this game remained lukewarm.

He had to say that this was a good sign!

Pei Qian might not understand how Meng Changs publicity strategy for Ghost General 2 was done but it was obvious that Meng Chang already knew the art of war. He had become a shape that no one could guess.

Pei Qian could not guess it either, but he believed that Meng Chang was on the same side as him.

The publicity plan for the second half of the month would only cost 100,000 yuan even if he obtained a full commission. This time, Meng Chang obtained 70,000 yuan from Ghost General 2. It was not much, but it was not little either.

Compared to the previous one sudden death and the entire month GG model, it was already quite benevolent.

Meng Chang only glanced at it and handed the laptop back.

He no longer cared about how much commission he had gotten. He had only come to see the commission for a formality.. More importantly, he could not miss the opportunity to listen to Boss Peis instructions and impart the Pei familys publicity method.
