Cui Geng suddenly understood Mr. Pei's intentions.

Just like "Struggle", it is actually reflecting the deep contradictions of Western society and analyzing this social phenomenon. It tore apart the fig leaf of warmth and beauty in Western works, which is why it caused such a profound response! ”

For a long time, the domestic cultural industry has been relatively weak.

Whether it is games, movies, or even certain areas of ideology, they are in a state of total suppression by the Western world.

There are many reasons for this, but the most important one is because of the problems left over from history. Although many people are reluctant to admit it, this phenomenon does exist, and it is very serious.

The cultural export of the Western world has always existed and has had very complex effects.

Of course, there's no denying that there are some positive, positive elements in Western culture, and there are some movies that do serve an inspiring role.

However, many people mistakenly think that everything in Western culture is good and perfect, and even love the house and Wu, because of the beautification of these cultural works, they have a good impression of everything in the West, which is a typical brainwash by the beautification of literary and artistic works.

For example, many people think that in the United States, everyone lives in a big villa with a swimming pool, the house is cheap, the medical treatment is free, and the dishwasher can live the life that the Chinese people dream of, which is obviously a misreading.

As a developed country, the overall living standard of the people is definitely better, but it is only a country for the rich, and the people in the lower and lower classes of society are still very difficult.

However, the Chinese people have long accepted the export of a large number of cultural works from the United States, and under the packaging and beautification of these cultural works, many people have the illusion that "the Western world is heaven on earth".

An important reason for the success of "Struggle" is that it breaks this illusion and allows more Chinese people to see the Western world from a more objective perspective, which is tantamount to deconstructing the "ideal country" constructed in Western cultural works.

Cui Geng instantly realized that Mr. Pei asked him to write superhero themes, is this also the intention?

Instead of writing a cliché superhero story that conforms to the mainstream values of the West, I want to deconstruct the mainstream values of the West like "Struggle", and write a story that reflects the deep problems and breaks the illusions of some Chinese people?

Once he accepted this setting, Cui Geng found that many things could be right!

Why did Mr. Pei say that it doesn't matter if these superheroes are written to death, or even if they are worse than dead?

It is because this is not a traditional superhero story in the first place, and the superheroes in the story do not represent fairness, justice and beauty, but something else, so their death will naturally not make the audience feel extremely disgusted.

Cui Geng subconsciously thought of a question: If superheroes existed, would they definitely act like in the movie?

Of course, there are good and evil in human nature, and when human beings have the power of superheroes, those who are good become superheroes, and those who are evil become supervillains.

But will a good-natured superhero be able to persevere as most stories describe?

If we give some bolder settings, if the power of superheroes is not born and not because of mutation, but is obtained through another way, then what will the so-called superhero story become?

Just as the West has been sparing no effort to export their "freedom" and "democracy", then this seemingly perfect system must be a perfect system?

There seems to be a similarity.

Cui Geng suddenly found the inspiration he was looking for, and he almost couldn't wait to go to the work area, open a new document, and write down the background of the story that popped up in his mind!

……

The story, like other superhero themes, takes place in the United States.

But this superhero story is different from other superhero stories, because in this story, the superheroes' strength is not innate, nor is it based on mutation or money ability.

About 200 years ago, the first homegrown superhero appeared in the United States.

His superpowers derive power from people's support and trust, and once people's support and trust in him wanes, his superpower will also be diminished or even cease to exist.

But this superhero has many virtues such as justice, integrity, and bravery, and has played a key role in all major historical events, saving countless lives and being deeply loved by the people of the United States.

As a result, his strength has become stronger and stronger, not only becoming a symbol of the spirit of the United States, but also shouldering the heavy responsibility of maintaining world peace. The people of the United States affectionately call him "Captain of the World" because the people of the United States believe that his presence will maintain world peace and save mankind from war.

But no matter how powerful a superhero is, he will always grow old and die.

Seventy years ago, the world captain was dying of old age, he still had people's trust and support, and he still had powerful superpowers, but his body was no longer enough to support him to use these superpowers.

Politicians, media, tycoons, and all sorts of personalities take turns visiting Captain World in the hospital ward, hoping that Captain World will choose one person from among the many carefully selected successors to inherit Captain World's superpowers and identity.

And the world captain saw through their careful thinking at a glance: obviously, different factions of power are coveting this kind of superpower that can affect the world pattern, and they all want to inherit the ability and status of the world captain with the chess pieces they have cultivated. If this superpower falls into the wrong hands, then everything will be unthinkable.

Therefore, Captain World did not give his superpowers to any "successor" carefully selected by politicians, tycoons or other forces, but sprinkled his superpowers on the whole of the country, so that everyone in the country has the possibility of becoming a superhero.

And the strength of this strength depends on the support and trust of the people of the United States.

Captain World firmly believes that only those who possess virtues such as integrity, justice, and kindness can gain the support, trust, and love of the majority of the people of the United States.

Although this move does not guarantee that all his superpowers will be concentrated on one person and play the greatest role, it can at least ensure that most of his superpowers are controlled by good and upright people, and at the same time, they will not completely fall into the hands of a bad person.

There were many people, including politicians, wealthy businessmen, and the media, who tried to dissuade Captain World, but Captain World was unmoved. Obviously, these people's rhetoric is just to take the power of Captain World for themselves, and they are not trustworthy.

Captain World believes that all the people of the United States will make the right choice.

After the death of Captain World, the people of the United States deeply remembered him and built a huge statue and monument to him to commemorate the first and most respected superhero.

This is the background of the story, and the story really begins, almost seventy years after the death of Captain World.

The protagonist of the story is called Phil Simmons, a carefree rich second generation who spends money every day.

Phil Simmons' father, Ryan Simmons, is the 150th richest person in the United States, with a personal fortune of $4.2 billion, starting with real estate, owning chain hotels and office buildings in many cities around the world.

Phil Simmons, like other rich second generations born with a golden spoon, is perfect in appearance. He is 31 years old, unmarried, 1.92 meters tall, with a standard white face, handsome and chic, and a well-maintained figure like a model.

A Harvard graduate with a J.D. and an MBA, his current position is CEO of Simmons Media, Inc., and he has been named one of Fortune magazine's "40 Most Influential Business People Under 40."

Although his Harvard education was obtained through a large donation from his family, this is not a shameful thing among the top wealthy families in the country, it is both common and common.

Phil Simmons has no special abilities other than driving a supercar with one hand, and his company has many professional staff, but even then it is still on the verge of bankruptcy several times.

But it doesn't matter, after all, Phil Simmons's own media company is only a drop in the bucket compared with the real estate group controlled by the entire Simmons family, even if the company he opened goes bankrupt ten times, it will not affect the foundation of the entire Simmons Group.

There are many kinds of rich second generations, and Phil Simmons is obviously the kind that doesn't work very hard.

He's managing his own company and expanding his network, but more often than not, he's living a life of lavish drinking and yacht parties.

As far as he is concerned, he doesn't need to worry about anything at all, anyway, his family business is enough for him to squander his life freely.

Until one day, his life changed because of a superhero.

So, Phil Simmons made up his mind that he would do whatever it took to become a superhero, but to become the most powerful superhero possible. All the superheroes who stand in front of him must do everything possible to completely eliminate them.

……

Cui Geng quickly wrote a beginning.

The background of the whole story, including the character of this protagonist, Cui Geng quickly finalized it, and it was all very natural.

But why Phil Simmons made up his mind to become a superhero and how he operated during the period, Cui Geng has no clue about the plot of these details for the time being.

But he is not in a hurry at all, after all, it is a buyout system, Cui Geng has no creative pressure at all, as long as he slowly accumulates materials and creates meticulously.

Next, Cui Geng plans to watch all superhero-themed movies, TV series, comics, and anti-superhero-themed works, as well as works that reflect the political scene of the United States, and collect materials.

There is a lot of content in these works, even if you watch them at high intensity for eight hours a day, it is estimated that it will take at least more than a week to watch them. And it is unknown whether you will be able to find enough inspiration during this period and whether you will be able to write a good synopsis of the story.

But Cui Geng is inexplicably full of confidence in himself, because this subject matter is set by President Pei!
