Chapter 414: Mr. Pei shouldn't hold a grudge, right?
At the same time, Ma is also paying attention to Cui Geng's new book.
Although Ma Yiqun is now the CEO of the end point, and it should be the business of editors and editors-in-chief to pay attention to the new book, it is now the Chinese New Year, and he is idle at home.
For Cui Geng, the author, Ma Yiqun has also heard of him for a long time and knows his "bad deeds".
However, no matter what Cui Geng says, he is also talented.
A talented and industrious author is better than an untalented and diligent author.
After all, online writing is a creative industry, and many times it is not about how fast you write, but how well you write.
The content is not good, and no matter how fast it is written, it is just speeding up the production of garbage.
"Butterfly Game" has only been open for a short time, and the state of the comment area is obviously not much better.
The horses ignored these and started reading directly.
The rhythm at the beginning is very fast, and after passing the identity of the protagonist, you will directly get the gold finger, and after a brief introduction to the use of the gold finger, you will begin to enter the official plot.
On Chinese New Year's Eve, Cui Geng directly sent five chapters, and these five chapters have completed a small plot.
From the time the protagonist gets the rights to the "butterfly game", to helping the first supporting indie game producer fulfill his dream.
The content of the first small plot is very simple, which is equivalent to a rehearsal of the core cool point.
An impoverished indie game maker who never gave up on his dream makes a game with simple materials but interesting gameplay, but no one cares about it because he doesn't have the money to promote it.
The protagonist found him while observing the parallel world, so through his own permission, he found an UP master in the game area, and used his golden finger to let the UP master "just happen" download the game and play it.
As a result, under the promotion of this UP owner, the game suddenly became popular, and since then it has been out of control, and the independent game producer has been able to continue his dream.
After reading this small plot, it was followed by a single chapter by Cui Gengfa.
The content of the single chapter is very simple, on the one hand, I apologize to all readers for the old book, and on the other hand, I am emphasizing that this new book is my own thoughtful thought, and the content is absolutely wonderful, please bear a little patience. During the Chinese New Year, he decided to keep his door closed, and every day was a 10,000-word update.
After reading this, the group of horses fell into deep thought.
He has been writing about the Internet for so long, and he has been paying attention to the trends of the Internet recently, so he can naturally see some doorways.
Is there a problem with this? Absolutely.
But, there are advantages!
At present, the market is still based on the hot-blooded routine of "don't bully the poor youth", and the way to mobilize readers' emotions is mainly through simple and crude methods such as suppression, incitement of hatred and revenge.
The city also has good development, but the overall has not jumped out of this big framework, many soldier kings, school flowers, and rebirth themes, and the cool points are basically more traditional pretending to be forced to slap the face.
And "Butterfly Game", it can be seen from the underlying architecture, compared with the current popular ones, there is a big difference.
First of all, it re-planned the routine in the early stage on the premise of maintaining a fast pace.
Most of them are still popular now, the so-called "golden three chapters", that is, the fixed cycle of "suppression, obtaining a golden finger, and slapping the face".
This routine can't be said to be bad, it's just that there are some trends that have been used badly, and many readers instinctively want to vomit after seeing it.
And "Butterfly Game" completely abandoned this routine, there was no depressive part at the beginning, the protagonist directly got the golden finger, and there was no "slap in the face" plot, and he directly entered his own unique cool point.
Secondly, the "coolness" of this film is completely different from the others.
The current network is "simple and rough cool", which is commonly known as "pretending to be forced to slap the face".
But the cool point of "Butterfly Game" is a sneaky coolness, the protagonist uses some very small changes to create a butterfly effect in the parallel world through the ball of light in his hand, so as to achieve some interesting results.
The coolness obtained by the protagonist is not as obvious as that of the traditional pretending to slap the face, and it will be more subtle, but this coolness can also bring spiritual pleasure to the reader.
And, aside from the sense of accomplishment that the protagonist receives, if you put yourself in the shoes of a character in the book, such as the aspiring game producer, you can also get a sense of joy.
It's a bit of a fairy tale for adults, and as we all know, most indie game makers make games that don't end up dead because of lack of publicity.
In reality, many independent game producers can only give up their game dreams very unwillingly, but in China, his dreams are realized because of the "butterfly effect" created by the protagonist, which is also a refreshing feeling for readers.
If the popular recipe is braised pork, then this one is like a simple tomato tomato with sugar.
Braised pork is delicious, but when the table is full of all kinds of braised pork, a dish of sugar-mixed tomatoes is bound to be quickly snatched up.
Not only that, but Ma Qunqun seems to have seen some of Tengda's shadows in this book.
He felt that this story seemed to be based on Mr. Pei, after all, when Mr. Pei was doing "Lonely Desert Highway", he suddenly became popular because of a video of Qiao Laoshi.
With the proceeds of this game, Mr. Pei had the money to make "Ghost General" and earned the first pot of gold for the establishment of Tengda Group.
Therefore, this story is particularly intimate in the eyes of the Ma group.
Considering these aspects, Ma Qunqun has a hunch that if this book can be written well, it will definitely be able to explode at the end!
But is the book perfectly written?
Ma Qun felt that it was not necessarily the case.
There are also some small changes that can be made, and after the changes, the book can be taken to the next level!
It just so happens that Cui Geng hasn't written much now, so the boat is small and it's good to turn around, so hurry up and revise it!
Thinking of this, Ma Yiqun called Cui Geng directly.
"Mr. Ma, I'm coding words! Don't worry, I'm definitely going to write this book well, and I'll never end it again! Write at least two million words! ”
Before the group of horses could speak, Cui Geng's side had already begun to express his determination.
"Hehe, guess how many times you've said that?"
Ma Group's words made Cui Geng speechless.
"Okay, that's not what I called you." Ma Yiqun smiled and got to the point, "I really want to tell you about the new book, but in addition to telling you that this book is written well and not finished, there are some other things." ”
Cui Geng was stunned: "Mr. Ma, please speak." ”
Ma Yiqun said: "I personally have some small opinions, simply tell you, if you think it is appropriate, change it, even if it is not suitable, it can be regarded as working together to write this book well." ”
"I'm 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." ”
Ma Yiqun sorted out his thoughts a little and said his thoughts in detail.
"I can see that the theme of the first small plot seems to be based on Mr. Pei. Tengda does have a lot of interesting stories, and it is not impossible to use them as materials, but I think your artistic processing is still a bit insufficient. ”
"My opinion is mainly two-fold:"
"First of all, I think the protagonist, as a pure spectator, is a little less involved in the plot."
"It's not a big problem to think of the protagonist as a pure tool, and there are some books that do, but it would be more interesting if it could be connected to the story."
"I imagined it this way: the ball of light that the protagonist gets is not a parallel world, but the real world in which he lives."
"And every action that the protagonist makes is actually changing the world and making the world he lives in a better place."
"At the same time, the protagonist can also benefit from his own actions, for example, he helped an entrepreneur build a 100-billion-level business empire, and the protagonist can use his own money to buy the company's shares before the empire is formed, so he himself has also obtained rich profits and changed his life."
"Moreover, the protagonist participates in these interactions as a person in the shadows, and can meet those supporting characters in reality, which will also produce a lot of interesting plots at this time."
"Secondly, I think the tone of the book could be changed."
"The current way of writing is mainly a positive narrative, and the cool point is more direct."
"The so-called direct cool point is: what I want to do, I do it, I succeed."
"It's a safe way to write, but it may not be very appealing to readers."
"I think it is possible to use an anti-routine narrative to further strengthen the feeling of inconsistencies in the 'butterfly game', make the cool points more twisty, and the storyline more witty and humorous."
"To put it simply: I didn't want to do anything, I had an accident, I backfired, but I succeeded."
"Specific to the first plot you wrote, the current cool synopsis is: the indie game author wants to succeed, the protagonist helps him through the 'butterfly game', and the indie game author succeeds."
"After the revision, the synopsis can be like this: the indie game author doesn't want to succeed, he just wants to make a game of revenge against society, the protagonist thinks the game is very interesting, and uses the 'butterfly game' to help him, and then the indie game author succeeds."
"In the process of writing, pay attention to using more witty and humorous writing, this kind of plot should be able to stand out from the current traditional plot."
"Understood?"
On the other end of the phone, Cui Geng was silent, as if he was trying to digest what Ma Qunqun had just said.
After a long time, he said a meaningful "um": "Mr. Ma is very reasonable!" ”
"Indeed, when I write this beginning, I always feel as if something is missing."
"It's like a dish, the ingredients are all ready, and the heat is about the same, but there is always a little bit of flavor missing!"
"If you can make up for these two points, then this book will definitely be even more brilliant!"
"But...... Mr. Ma, I have a doubt. ”
Ma Qunqun: "Huh? What doubts. ”
Cui Geng hesitated for a moment, and then said: "To be honest, the plot of this game producer is indeed based on Mr. Pei. ”
"However, will this way of writing be an ugly image of Mr. Pei?"
"Mr. Pei shouldn't hold a grudge, right?"
