Mr. Pei patted his ass and left, leaving a confused Cui Geng who could only aimlessly flip through the comics of Hurricane Comics.

For Pei Qian, the current situation of the entire "inspiration class" is completely in line with his expectations, and he is following the script. He took special care of Cui Geng again, and asked the author, who is most likely to have problems, to write a subject with the lowest success rate, which can be said to be multiple insurances.

As long as Cui Geng verifies that this policy is feasible, then Pei Qian can consider allowing more authors to join the "inspiration class", which will have the effect of drawing money from the bottom of the pot for the development of the end Chinese network.

As for Cui Geng, he is now in a deep confusion.

If Cui Geng were to choose by himself, he would never choose this theme, because he was neither good at nor very interested.

As an author whose understanding of European and American superheroes is only limited to those super IPs and has no in-depth understanding, Cui Geng really can't think of any reason why he can write superhero themes well.

But Mr. Pei said that not knowing superheroes is an advantage, and it is absolutely no problem for him to read more information and polish more.

Cui Geng thought about it, since it was Mr. Pei's opinion, he still had to pay attention to it.

Because in terms of creation, Mr. Pei is the real master!

Whether it is Tengda's game or movie, in fact, Mr. Pei personally handles and grasps the general direction. And these have been proven, and they are very successful works.

Mr. Pei's status in creation is much higher than that of these online writers. Since Mr. Pei said that Cui Geng is fine, it may be really no problem.

"Is there something in me that I don't even know I have?"

With this doubt, Cui Geng decided to try the superhero IP of Hurricane Comics Company according to Mr. Pei's request.

As an important part of Tengda Group's IP, of course, a large number of comics from Hurricane Comics are also prepared in the "Inspiration Class".

Cui Geng picked out a few books with relatively high sales, returned to his seat, turned on the reading lamp, headphones to play light music, and then nestled on the single sofa to read carefully.

……

Afternoon.

Cui Geng put aside the last comic he brought and rubbed his temples with a bit of a headache.

He has been seeing the afternoon from the morning, and when he eats at noon, he is also thinking about the plot of these superheroes, but when he sees it now, the more he watches it, the more he feels that it is no fun.

The more you know, the more you can feel the enormity of this task!

Because they are all comics, there is relatively little text information, so they are very fast. Cui Geng read several comics with relatively high sales and understood the general plot outline, and his mind became even more confused.

"This hurricane comics company only accounts for 5% of the market share in the United States, and it is not for nothing that the top two comic companies are pressed to the ground and rubbed."

"Whether it is in terms of superhero character design or story plot, there is a big gap between the level of the first two comic companies."

"These stories, you can't look at them!"

Moreover, these characters and plots are not very suitable for the taste of domestic readers. It can be said that the advantages of the first two comic companies have not been learned, but the disadvantages have been retained. ”

"Writing this kind of IP role, didn't I kill myself......

Cui Geng fell into a deep melancholy.

Like Multi-faceted, Duke Purgatory, Xenomorph, Robocop, etc., are already the most famous IPs of Hurricane Comics, although these IPs make a certain impression, they are outdated.

And in Cui Geng's view, these IPs are either not scalable enough for the story, or the setting no longer meets the current aesthetic standards, and it is not easy to write derivative plots.

These IPs, if they are simply used as a game image in the GOG game, then there is no problem at all; But if you want to write a compelling enough story with them as the main characters, it is even more difficult.

Other IPs, not to mention, are all given for nothing.

There are even a lot of superheroes in this that benchmark the top two comic companies, such as a hero called "Captain World", you can see the signs of copycats at a glance, and this kind of can't be used.

If you really write it, I'm afraid you'll be laughed out of your big teeth.

In short, Cui Geng's head is big.

"Or I'll deal with it?"

"Just choose an IP like the multi-faceted man or the Robocop, and make do with writing a fanfic first?"

"Although this kind of IP is very old and outdated, at least domestic readers still have some impressions, and it shouldn't be considered a cheating manuscript fee, right?"

After pondering for hours to no avail, Cui Geng subconsciously wanted to choose the easy way.

But Mr. Pei's face suddenly appeared in his mind, and he immediately dispelled this thought.

"No, absolutely not!"

"How could I have that thought?"

"Mr. Pei takes special care of me, obviously attaches great importance to what I want to write, and has a high sense of expectation!"

"How can I have the idea of being fooled? This has to make Mr. Pei sad! ”

"Mr. Pei has said, don't ask for the number of words, slow work and meticulous work, if I give up so quickly and start writing rashly, wouldn't it completely live up to Mr. Pei's expectations?"

"No, think about it again!"

"We have to take out the strength to analyze Tengda's spirit with Wu Bin at that time, figure out the deep meaning behind Mr. Pei, and find the only correct answer!"

"I should follow Tengda's internal interpretation method to interpret Mr. Pei's true intentions!"

When Cui Geng wanted to give up, Tengda's spirit inspired him again.

When Cui Geng and Wu Bin analyzed the spirit of Tengda and compiled the manual of Tengda's spirit, he had an in-depth understanding of "Mr. Pei's intention to answer the standard ideas".

This is a set of methodologies for figuring out Mr. Pei's true intentions led by Bao Xu, Huang Sibo and Lin Wan and other company veterans, and constantly improved by the heads of other departments.

Specifically, through the content of Mr. Pei's assignment, Mr. Pei's true intention is deduced. Whether it is in the game department, the film department or the physical department, this trick has been tried and tested again and again, and it has created many miracles.

Now, Cui Geng has decided to apply what he has learned and apply it to his own creations!

"What's the first step? Oh yes, find the most unreasonable point in Mr. Pei's words, and then start analyzing ......"

Cui Geng tried hard to recall the conversation between Mr. Pei and himself in the morning.

In fact, Mr. Pei didn't say much content, but just said that "superhero themes can also be written for domestic readers", "it doesn't necessarily have to make domestic readers like these superheroes", "it's okay to write these superheroes dead or half-dead".

"It sounds like Mr. Pei is suggesting to me not to use the traditional story structure of the West to write superhero stories, but to try to tell them in a way that is acceptable to domestic readers......"

Cui Geng began to look up relevant information on the Internet.

Superhero-themed movies are part of cultural export, and they also have a large market in China. Although Cui Geng has not paid special attention to it, he still fully understands some basic concepts.

Although superheroes have different abilities, personalities, and identities, most of them share similar traits:

Possess extraordinary strength, technical ability, or proficiency in a particular area. Whether it's strength, intelligence, special functions, or money abilities, they can all be counted in this category.

They want to administer justice, be responsible, choose to stand up when they are in danger, and don't need anything in return.

To some extent, they represent the moral concept of the West, which generally does not kill people, but will be handed over to the police and the law.

They generally have a secret identity to protect their friends and family, and at the same time, they often have another identity in real life besides superheroes, such as journalists, students, rich second generations, and so on.

They usually have an iconic costume or prop.

And generally speaking, the story of superheroes is basically the story of justice finally defeating evil: the supervillain wants to do something bad and is discovered by the superhero, and after a series of twists and turns, the superhero defeats the supervillain and maintains world peace.

Of course, with the development of the superhero theme, the story has also shown more and more tricks, and even some "anti-hero" characters who are both good and evil have appeared.

But there are still very few superhero stories that deviate from the core of "good defeats evil", because if it deviates from this core, the audience may not necessarily buy it.

In a sense, superhero-themed comics or movies, like online texts, are a mass-produced creative mode, although the fundamental routine is constantly repeated, but there will be a lot of innovation in the details of the routine, and readers will eat this set, and they still love to watch it no matter how many times they repeat it.

This is also the reason why Cui Geng feels that he can't write: because this is a mass-produced creative model, and it is deeply rooted in the cultural background of the West, as a Chinese person, there is a cultural barrier to this, so according to this standard process, it will never be possible to surpass the superhero stories created by Westerners.

This is not self-indulgence, but a sober understanding of reality.

It's like asking a native Westerner to write a traditional Chinese martial arts story, no matter how much preparation he makes, what he writes in the end must be "tasteless".

Cui Geng frowned: "In other words, if I want to sell the story I wrote to foreigners, I'm afraid it's impossible, and I can only face Chinese people." ”

"Mr. Pei did say the same."

"But how exactly can you sell it to the Chinese people?"

"Mr. Pei seems to have done a lot of Western-themed content, and it seems to be very popular with the Chinese people, how does Mr. Pei do it?"

Cui Geng couldn't help but think of the game "Struggle".

In fact, the game "Struggle" is also a completely Western story background, and the characters and stories in it are all based on the Western background, but domestic players like it very much.

Cui Geng carefully recalled the storyline of "Struggle", and suddenly his eyes lit up.

"Got it!"

"The secret of Mr. Pei's creation is to observe Western stories from the perspective of Chinese culture, deconstruct them, tear apart the exquisite coat of Western literary and artistic works, and then let its inner self be fully revealed!"
