Everyone listened attentively.
When they first came into contact with this script, everyone felt that this script seemed to be a little lacking and that the chances of success were not high.
However, the creative source of this script was actually Boss Pei? What's more, it was approved by Boss Pei?
Then, this story would be completely different!
Many people followed this direction and realized that it was really the case after Cui Geng explained his creative intentions.
There was actually a lot of meaning in this script if one dug deeper!
What's more, it was not only satirizing the system, but also some economic and cultural problems that existed in reality.
For example, Phil, the protagonist of the story, used a variety show called 'Successor' to change people's minds to a certain extent. It changed most people's impression of him from an 'ignorant and incompetent rich second-generation heir' to 'a professional who really understood superheroes', and further to 'the only perfect superhero candidate who had hope of saving Hope City'.
In reality, weren't some capitals also changing people's minds through public opinion and various cultural and entertainment activities to ultimately benefit themselves?
In the story, Phil's fans spontaneously entered the information cocoon room. They only believed in public opinion that was beneficial to Phil and turned a blind eye to public opinion that was detrimental to Phil. In the end, Phil was invincible in the process of becoming a superhero.
In reality, weren't some capitals also working hard to create an information cocoon room so that those fans and users would become the most useful soldiers and the most indestructible walls to accumulate wealth as much as they wanted?
In the story, the wrong concept of 'rich people's wealth comes from hard work, and rich people naturally have noble characters' was also deeply rooted in the minds of ordinary people under repeated propaganda, just like the world in which 'Struggle' was located. It was like an ideological seal that added another shackle to them.
If one were to summarize …
'Successor' was a bit like the superpower version of 'Struggle'. However, its story was not about the rich struggling in the clouds and the poor struggling in the mud. Instead, it was about the rich thinking of ways to kick all the poor into the mud to defeat all the rich competing with them in the clouds and become the only god high above.
Zhang Zuting said after a long silence, "I see. I understand what that feeling was about."
"When I first saw this script, I actually did not think about this at all. I only saw a little irony. Such irony is not enough to touch me. "
"Now I understand why this story is not popular. It's because it uses words as a medium, and the expression is too lacking. The impact of a lot of the content is far less than the actual image, so it's difficult to express such deep content."
"Tomorrow is Beautiful and Struggle were successful because they were movies and games. They used a lot of content to show all kinds of details so that the audience could be completely immersed in it. Only then could the hidden content be dug out."
"However, the satirical content in 'Successor' cannot be explained too crudely. The immersion and appeal of the words alone are not enough. In addition, Zhongdian Chinese Network is an online literature platform after all. Your writing style and creative habits all come from online literature. It is difficult for you to control this theme and show so many details well. That's why it is not very popular."
"Actually, the framework of this story is quite worth digging into."
Zhu Xiaoce nodded. "That's why Boss Pei requested for this work to be adapted into a web series.
"Only by adapting it into a web series can the true potential of this story be fully realized!"
"Of course, since this script was not written by Boss Pei himself, it might be slightly less profound. However, I thought about it carefully. Even so, this is still a good script because the content expressed by it is completely consistent with what Boss Pei wants to express. "
"As long as our scriptwriter team works together and makes up for these shortcomings, this story can still have a lot of potential."
"Boss Pei seems to have a compassionate feeling. He always has a kind of worry about capital controlling our lives and further controlling the world. This worry is also expressed in some of his works."
"However, most people feel that this worry is groundless. Perhaps this makes Boss Pei feel a little anxious. That's why he is very supportive of similar themes. "
"I think Boss Pei's attitude is that even if this web series will lose money, we must film it."
"That's because it is meaningful and valuable!"
Everyone nodded.
Those who had doubts about this script before did not dwell on this problem anymore.
Since Boss Pei felt that there was no problem, then let's film it!
Even if it were to lose money, it would not be a huge blow to Tengda. Boss Pei should be able to withstand it.
To Fei Huang Workspace, even if this web series failed, it would not be a huge blow to them. After all, everyone knew very well from the beginning that it would be very difficult for this web series to make money.
Some things could not be done at the same time.
Since they had already made a choice, and this choice was firm enough, they did not have to worry about regret after failure. What's more, it would not affect their creative mentality.
Lu Zhiyao spoke first. "Alright! Boss Pei wants to do something very meaningful. Even if the chances of failure are very high, I will fully support it! I don't need any remuneration this time. I don't lack money. It's my honor to be able to participate in something so meaningful! "
Zhang Zuting nodded as well. "That's right. We should help no matter what!"
Zhu Xiaoce quickly said, "Of course, we can't do it without remuneration! It's not just remuneration. We will cover all the expenses needed to film in the United States, including airfare and accommodation. Of course, we will cover all of them according to Tengda's standards.
"Friendship is friendship, and business is business. If Boss Pei finds out that you don't want remuneration, I'm afraid I won't be able to continue as a director. "
Zhang Zuting and the others looked at each other, smiled, and nodded. "Alright then!"
Working with Boss Pei made him feel very comfortable.
Not only did they obtain satisfaction in terms of spirit and doing something meaningful, but they would also not be treated badly in terms of material matters.
It was a pity that Tengda Corporation only had one film department, Fei Huang Workspace. The speed of filming was really limited.
It would be great if Tengda had three production teams working together and could film six movies a year!
Zhu Xiaoce said, "Alright, let's get ready. We'll set off in two days and complete the filming overseas!"

August 14th, Tuesday …
Morning Dew Gaming Platform …
Tang Yishu sent off another representative of a game company and returned to her desk to drink some tea to moisten her throat.
She had been a little busy these two days, but fortunately, it was still within acceptable limits.
After all, not all games companies would personally come over for a face-to-face meeting.
Meng Chang's publicity worked over the weekend.
This publicity plan might not be very effective and did not attract many players. It was equivalent to spending money to listen to the sound, but at least it had a certain level of fame.
To players, this platform had not even created an application, and they had not heard of any awesome exclusive games. Naturally, they would not pay too much attention to it. However, in the eyes of many games companies, large-scale advertising at least meant that this platform was quite rich.
This kind of advertising might be a little stupid, but people were stupid and rich … Wasn't this just right?
Thus, more game companies came over on Monday and Tuesday with their own games, wanting to talk about cooperation with Morning Dew Gaming Platform.
In fact, there were also companies that came over on Sunday, but they were rejected because they did not work on weekends.
Not only that, but a large number of companies also contacted the business department of Morning Dew Gaming Platform through the official website. They sent over the demo of their games that were being tested, hoping that they could try it out. If they felt that there were no problems, both parties would meet again to discuss in detail.
In the end, more than 90% of the games were wiped out because of bugs!
That was because there were more games received, and there was no lack of games that had been operating steadily for a few months. Therefore, there would not be a situation where "no one survived" when it came to bugs.
After all, those games that had been operating steadily for a few months might have hundreds of thousands or millions of players running. Some bugs that had a very low probability of appearing would also be reported to the official platform for modification. As long as the testing team of these game manufacturers was a little more responsible, these bugs could basically be fixed.
Tang Yishu's "halo" would only accelerate the exposure of bugs and increase the probability of bugs that were not easy to appear. However, it would not create bugs that did not exist out of thin air.
What's more, this was a matter of probability. Bugs that did not appear even after millions of players had played the game tens of millions of times could basically be regarded as non-existent. The probability was too low and would not be triggered.
Even so, it was still a rather shocking "result" to wipe out more than 90% of the games.
Li Yada even thought that Morning Dew Gaming Platform was going to "die before it could even succeed".
Based on this ratio, how many games could be released when the gaming platform was officially released?
If there were so few games on the entire platform that they could be counted on two hands, would they still have the face to call themselves a gaming platform?
However, these games were indeed very buggy. It would definitely not be possible to force them to be released.
Therefore, she could only hope that these companies would put in more effort and hurry up and fix all the bugs like Yan Qi.
At the moment, these companies' attitudes were clearly divided into two types.
The first type was like Old Liu. They said they would fix the bugs, but then there was no news of them.
They felt that their games were running well on other platforms. Although there were occasional bugs, it was not like they could not be played, right?
Was there a need to invest so much manpower and resources to fix these bugs for such a newly established small platform? If they had the energy, wouldn't it be better to make a few more sets of clothes and weapons to earn money?
The other type was similar to Yan Qi. No matter how many bugs they found, they promised to fix them diligently until there were no more serious bugs.
From the looks of it, the ratio of companies that personally came to Morning Dew Gaming Platform to discuss cooperation was about 6: 4. Only 40% of the companies were willing to fix bugs diligently and maintain contact with Morning Dew Gaming Platform.
Most of them were small companies.
As for the companies contacted online, the ratio was 9: 1 or even higher. Less than 10% of the companies expressed that they were willing to fix these bugs, and the remaining 90% did not follow up at all.
That was very normal. After all, they could see the bugs appear with their own eyes. The companies that sent game demos remotely could not reproduce these bugs after receiving feedback from Morning Dew Gaming Platform. They might think that Morning Dew Gaming Platform was deliberately nitpicking and did not have the sincerity to cooperate. Naturally, they did not follow up.
In order to avoid misunderstandings from these companies, Tang Yishu could only try playing and recording at the same time. She also sent the video files with the bugs.
This way, the situation improved slightly, but the improvement was very limited.
That was because these companies were not in Jingzhou. It was very difficult to communicate online, and it was very difficult to reproduce the bugs. Since they probably could not meet Morning Dew Gaming Platform's requirements even if they changed them, they might as well not waste the effort and just let it go.
Now, Li Yada was like a hardworking squirrel, working hard to collect chestnuts for the winter.
After collecting a few companies that were willing to fix the bugs, she created a group and pulled all the person-in-charge of these companies in to cheer them on regularly.
What if another game company gave up on working with them because of bugs that could not be fixed?
Then the game platform would really not be able to be opened!
