The author's story might be very different from what he had expected from the idea to the words. Similarly, the final product might be very different from what he had expected from the movie.
Huang Sibo did not have much confidence in the first three episodes of 'Successor'.
On one hand, the story of 'Successor' was a satirical theme. Many of the plots inside might make people feel that it did not conform to common sense, and it was difficult to evaluate it using traditional standards;
On the other hand, the first three episodes should be the worst three episodes of 'Successor'.
As the protagonist, Phil was ravaged by a burly man the moment he appeared. He knelt on the rooftop and begged for mercy, making a fool of himself.
In the subsequent plot, he would beat up the maid and butler to vent his anger and be incompetent. It would definitely make the audience feel uncomfortable.
The plot of Phil inspecting the superhero talent show was a necessary foreshadowing. Without this plot, the subsequent plot would not be established. However, its connection with the main plot would be weaker.
The next few episodes had more or less some big scenes. Be it the competition between the students in the talent show or the series of public safety incidents at the end, the superheroes stepping forward to show off their special effects, they were at least considered very lively.
Only the first three episodes did not have any lively fighting scenes.
In summary, this series might have been unconventional and did not cater to the public's tastes. The first three episodes were all foreshadowing and could not be enjoyed at all.
Huang Sibo might have read the original work, but he had read it with the intention of adapting it. What's more, he could read ten lines at a glance and quickly skip these plots. Thus, he did not think that this problem was so serious at that time.
Now that the finished film was out, he suddenly became worried. Would these three episodes be scolded like dogs after they were released?
Not to mention the audience, even Huang Sibo himself could find many points to criticize.
However, strictly speaking, these points were not points to criticize. The key was how to understand the story. Some of the audience could not accept the content at all, but in the eyes of others, it was the essence of the story.
That made Huang Sibo very conflicted. He had never felt so uncertain before.
It would be fine if this show was a short drama with a low cost, but the key was that it had a lot of investment!
How could Fei Huang Workspace's brand be maintained if they suffered a huge loss?
However, Huang Sibo did not expect Boss Pei to nod slightly with a satisfied smile on his face. "Yes, very good! Not bad! "
Pei Qian's feelings were similar to Huang Sibo's. After watching the first three episodes, the plot was not pleasant at all!
Of course, the details of this film were very good. The actors' acting skills were on point, and all kinds of details were covered. The filming techniques were also very mature. It was completely a high-quality drama.
Lu Zhiyao, Zhang Zuting, Lin Jiaqiang, and the others also played cameos in the drama.
Among them, Lu Zhiyao acted as a Chinese superhero and had more scenes.
Zhang Zuting was acting as a judge in a talent show. After all, he was a professional judge.
Lin Jiaqiang acted as a passerby who had more scenes. He represented the ordinary citizens who had been completely fooled by Phil in the information cocoon room.
Apart from that, a few of Zhang Zuting's old friends and even the crew members of the production crew went in to play minor roles and act as passers-by.
This show had indeed displayed the core of the original "Successor" very well, but the problem was that the original was not that great!
After all, it was a show that did not conform to the mainstream aesthetic standards. Phil's image and his actions were already very annoying. It was fine in the novel, but when it was really shown on the screen, the degree of disgust was doubled.
This drama was filmed in the United States, and the investment was not small. It was only released in China, but it was all in English. Naturally, it had a dissuading effect.
Once these three episodes were released, wouldn't it be a good start? Oh, no, a bad start?
Very good, there was finally good news!
Pei Qian even wanted to praise Zhu Xiaoce so that he could be freed from the difficult journey in advance.
However, on further thought, he temporarily dispelled that thought.
First, this drama had not been released yet. It was uncertain if it would become popular. At first, Tomorrow is Beautiful thought that it would definitely not become popular, but who would have thought that?
Second, the merits and demerits could not be offset. Zhu Xiaoce was suffering now because of the box office earnings of those previous movies. Even if Successor really suffered a huge loss and wanted to reward him, that would be a matter for the future.
Seeing Boss Pei's satisfied expression, Huang Sibo could not help but doubt his own judgment.
Boss Pei thought so highly of it?
Obviously, I'm not confident!
On further thought, it made sense. 'Successor' was a copyrighted adaptation project that Boss Pei had personally chosen. Naturally, he had high approval of this story. Now that Zhu Xiaoce had completely filmed the essence of the original work, what was there to worry about?
As the first work of Zhongdian Chinese Network's adaptation plan, 'Eternal Fallen Samsara' had already become an instant hit. It was enough to show how accurate Boss Pei's vision was.
In that case, 'Successor' would definitely not be a problem!
Pei Qian looked at Meng Chang. "How is it? This theme should be easy to showcase, right?"
The opening was already so lousy. Wouldn't he be able to get a high commission just by doing something?
Meng Chang nodded. "Yes, the difficulty is moderate. I'll do my best."
In his opinion, this drama was indeed in line with the tone of the Pei Corporation's publicity method. The path was very clear.
However, he did not have much experience in films and television series after all. It might be relatively easy to get a commission, but it might not be that easy to turn things around in the end.
Meng Chang was no longer satisfied with how much commission he got now. In his opinion, it would be truly perfect if he got a commission and perfectly implemented the Pei Corporation's publicity method, making the project explode in the end.
Thus, he felt that the difficulty of this project was moderate. It was not very difficult, but he still needed to put some thought into it.
Pei Qian was not particularly satisfied with Meng Chang's response.
How could you say 'moderate difficulty' for such a simple publicity plan?
Are you still that confident and intelligent Meng Chang?
However, on further thought, Meng Chang might have been bitten once and afraid of ropes for ten years. He had failed too many times previously, and the painful experience of losing the commission that he had obtained made him less confident. That was understandable.
It looked like he had to encourage him more in the future.
Pei Qian looked at Meng Chang. "You have to be more confident in the future. How can such a simple plan be considered moderately difficult?"
Meng Chang nodded in shame. "Yes, Boss Pei. I'll definitely work harder in the future."
Meng Chang could not help but feel emotional as he watched Boss Pei leave.
No matter how much he had learned, he always felt that he was a stupid student who was not satisfactory in front of Boss Pei!
It looked like he had to do the publicity plan for Successor seriously. He had to let Boss Pei see his progress!
…
At the same time, at Starbird Fitness' flagship store …
Che Rong was explaining the next stage of Starbird Fitness' expansion plan to Li Shi.
"Boss Li, I've thought about it. I plan to purchase an additional batch of VR glasses for the latest Real Estate Agent Simulator and arrange them in the resting area to look at houses in the game."
"There's no extra charge, but you have to spend any amount in the store on the same day to use it. Even if you only buy a bottle of mineral water."
"It's still the same guiding ideology as before: Don't compete with Tengda's Sloth Apartments for business and mismatch development."
"What's more, I think Starbird Fitness can expand to other cities outside the province with Sloth Apartments and Fish-Catching Internet Cafe. As long as it matches Tengda's industry, its development will definitely be smooth! "
Li Shi nodded repeatedly as he sipped his tea.
Ever since Starbird Fitness was on the right path, it had entered a period of rapid development.
Tengda's Dream Realization Ventures, Boss Li, and other investors had invested in Starbird Fitness. Now, Starbird Fitness had plenty of funds. Its stores were almost all over the main cities in Handong Province.
Che Rong had always insisted on the guiding ideology that he had set at the beginning. That was to compete with Fish-Catching Internet Cafe.
It was not far from Tengda's industries, but its core business did not conflict with Tengda's various industries. Thus, it could naturally integrate into Tengda's system.
Branch stores were opened one by one, and the benefits were not bad. They lacked an opportunity to rush out of Handong Province and enter first-tier cities.
After all, Doubt
On the other hand, Starbird Fitness relied entirely on Fitness Battle and the smart fitness drying rack to promote it. It did not have enough confidence.
However, with the establishment of Real Estate Agent Simulator and Slow Movement Workspace's reality service department, Starbird Fitness naturally had a new business model!
Che Rong knew that Starbird Fitness had to seize this opportunity to serve the Real Estate Agent Simulator well.
However, he still had to think about how to do it.
In the end, Che Rong decided to stagger with Fish-Catching Internet Cafe and emphasize the two different experiences.
Fish-Catching Internet Cafe had a VR game zone. The experience was complete and did not have any emasculated game content. Players could go there to look at houses in Real Estate Agent Simulator, upload their own house type, or experience other content in the game.
Since Fish-Catching Internet Cafe had already done it, it was not appropriate for Starbird Fitness to do it again.
On one hand, it was because the two businesses could not overlap. On the other hand, it was because Starbird Fitness' main business was fitness. The complete experience of Real Estate Agent Simulator required a huge space. It was difficult for Starbird Fitness's shop to allocate it.
Thus, Che Rong could make use of the resting area in the shop.
Customers could use VR glasses to look at houses in the resting area as long as they spent any amount in the shop that day. This was equivalent to a very low-cost guide.
To Starbird Fitness, this was equivalent to providing additional benefits to their customers. At the same time, it could attract more people to the shop to spend money. They might even become customers after a while.
For those tenants, if they could not bear to buy VR glasses, it was also a choice to wear VR glasses to look at houses after spending some money.
After all, if it was just looking at houses, it could be done with VR glasses. What's more, it did not need a large space. They could stand and sit.
If the tenants were interested in this game or other games in the VR glasses, they could also go to the nearby Fish-Catching Internet Cafe or order a pair of VR glasses online to experience the complete content.
Li Shi nodded in satisfaction after listening to Che Rong's explanation.
"Hmm, not bad.
"You have to remember that Starbird Fitness has actually begun to integrate into Tengda's business after receiving Dream Realization Ventures' investment.
"As long as you always remember to compete with Tengda's existing industries, focus on being a supporting character, and follow Tengda's usual style, you can just drink soup.
"Don't be like Home Corporation and completely oppose Tengda Corporation's purpose. That would be terrible.
"A gentleman loves money, but he has to take it in the right way. You have to learn more from Boss Pei's business model. Otherwise, Boss Pei can turn a blind eye to Starbird Fitness' development or deal with you mercilessly like he did with Home Corporation."
Che Rong quickly nodded. "Boss Li, don't worry. I understand this logic. Starbird Fitness can develop because of the new opportunities brought by Tengda. I wouldn't dare to go against Boss Pei even if I was out of my mind!"
