Ma Yiqun laughed as if he had heard a very funny joke. "What kind of person do you think Boss Pei is?
"Boss Pei is broad-minded and far-sighted. Upwind Logistics is still incurring huge losses. Has Boss Pei ever said no? Isn't it because he trusts the leaders there? "
"Boss Pei would not be calculative over such a small matter. You're underestimating Boss Pei."
Cui Geng thought about it and realized that Ma Yiqun was right.
Boss Pei was so magnanimous. How could he make things difficult for him just because of a book? That was impossible.
"Alright, Boss Ma, I'll change it immediately!
"It's a good thing that I don't have many manuscripts. What's more, the content hasn't changed much. I should be able to change it soon." Cui Geng was full of fighting spirit.
Ma Yiqun was very satisfied with Cui Geng's attitude. It looked like Cui Geng was really going to write seriously this time.
"This is what I'm thinking. If you can maintain five chapters a day during the Chinese New Year, I'll talk to Zhu Xingan and get this book recommended in advance!
"Write faster and recommend faster. Try to push out a hit on the City Channel!"
Cui Geng was flattered. "Alright, no problem! I won't be going anywhere during the Chinese New Year. I'll stay at home and write! "
…
Cui Geng was even more motivated after hearing Ma Yiqun's suggestion.
How could the recommendation resources be bad if the website's higher-ups pushed for it?
What Cui Geng had to do now was to write as much as he could while maintaining the quality. He had to write ten thousand words a day so that readers who liked to wait until the books were published would start reading earlier.
Now, Cui Geng's creativity was at its peak. He had collected a lot of material from Tengda Games before the Chinese New Year. He could use it in the book after some editing.
All he had to think about was how to write it in a more dramatic way.
Cui Geng hugged his laptop and typed furiously.
"Even if my family demolishes ten more houses, it won't stop me from writing this story in its entirety!"
…
On the first day of the Chinese New Year, Cui Geng revised the five chapters he had published and the remaining drafts before continuing to write the plot.
He was shocked to find that writing according to Ma Yiqun's method was indeed effective!
When he was writing before, he always felt that something was missing and felt aggrieved.
After writing a part of the plot, he always felt that it was not perfect and wanted to go back and change it.
But how exactly should I change it? He couldn't explain it clearly.
Therefore, although Cui Geng wrote quite fast at that time, he always felt uneasy.
However, things were different now. After Ma Yiqun's guidance, Cui Geng realized that he could insert many interesting transitions about the main character into the original plot. His writing became smoother.
Moreover, after reading it, he would feel very satisfied. The thought of always wanting to change something would disappear!
Cui Geng's thoughts flowed like a spring. He held his laptop and entered a state of immersion.
As Cui Geng wrote more and more chapters, the comments at the bottom of the book also changed.
"Hmm? Didn't you change the beginning? "
"The previous opening was not bad, but this opening seems to be even more interesting!"
"Originally, I didn't want to read the books of the no-show spirit ever again, but before I knew it, I've read the latest chapter. Damn!"
"Sigh, scolding aside, I have to say that the books of the no-show spirit are still good! This opening is already attractive enough. I'm afraid I'm going to fall into a trap again! "
"I'm asking if you can write 2 million words this time!! Forget it, don't count on it. Write as much as you can … "
"I suddenly realized that urban themes are actually so good!"
"That's strange. I thought that I would lose a large number of readers when I switched from Xuanhuan to urban, but I realized that those familiar IDs seem to still be there. You guys said that you would never read the books of the no-show spirit again, but you're still 'really good' now … "
"This book is really interesting and humorous. What's more, the writing method is very clever. It uses a small coincidence to change the world, and there's a faint warmth to it. It's very good!"
"I'm sick of reading Xuanhuan and Xianxia novels that kill entire families. It's not bad to change the taste occasionally. I'll give you the tickets. If you dare to leave a bad ending, I'll send a razor blade to your house! "
"Is it okay to update five times a day for the new book? Aren't you afraid that there won't be any recommendations? "
"Are you worried that there won't be any recommendations? The recommendations for this new book are already too good. It feels like the website is deliberately promoting this book! "
"It's indeed quite interesting. I'll share it with my friends now!"
…
…
February 4th, second day of the Lunar New Year …
In the afternoon …
The cold wind howled. Pei Qian stood at the entrance of an internet cafe not far from his home, fanning himself. He wanted to get rid of the smell of cigarettes as soon as possible.
"Sigh, I should have opened Fish-Catching Internet Cafe at my doorstep in advance …"
Pei Qian shivered in the cold wind. He could not help but have this melancholy thought.
There was indeed not much entertainment during the Lunar New Year.
Today was the second day of the Lunar New Year. Pei Qian gathered with a few childhood friends and classmates and went out for a day.
Considering that there were not many activities to choose from in a small county, everyone first went to the cinema to watch a movie, had lunch, and then went to the internet cafe to play games.
Pei Qian felt a little complicated after watching the movie.
Of course, the most important feeling was that he felt lucky!
He had originally planned to release Tomorrow is Beautiful during the Lunar New Year slot. He thought that the Lunar New Year was a time for family reunions. Such a movie would definitely be scolded like a dog after it was released and the box office would be a flop.
What's more, there would be so many blockbusters during the Lunar New Year slot that Tomorrow is Beautiful would definitely be squeezed out.
However, after watching the most popular movie during the Lunar New Year slot today, Pei Qian only had one thought: What the heck is this?!
He could not remember which movies were scheduled for the Lunar New Year slot in 2011. However, none of the movies that he had seen so far were good.
After leaving the cinema, Pei Qian checked on his cell phone and realized that the 'Lunar New Year slot' was not a good slot at all.
The few movies that were being released at the moment did not even have a rating of more than seven on the ticketing website. The estimated box office was not even two hundred million yuan. Pei Qian was completely taken aback.
After thinking about it carefully, he realized that the 'Lunar New Year slot' only became popular after Stephen Chow's Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons in 2013.
The world had changed, and the movies were completely different from what Pei Qian remembered. Thus, although the concept of the 'Lunar New Year slot' existed, there were not many good movies.
At that thought, Pei Qian felt an inexplicable sense of fear.
For all he knew, Tomorrow is Beautiful might not be able to make a loss during the Lunar New Year slot.
It was not that Pei Qian did not have confidence in his own movies. The main thing was that the few movies that were scheduled for the Lunar New Year slot were really rubbish. They were all relying on their peers.
Pei Qian felt that it might be a good thing that Tomorrow is Beautiful had not been released during the Lunar New Year slot.
He hoped that one or two blockbusters would attack his movie when it was released.
As for the game in the afternoon …
There were not many good internet cafes in the county. Pei Qian picked the best one, but it still did not allow smoking. The smoke made Pei Qian choke.
He could only say that he did not think too much about it. He had only opened the Upwind Courier station in front of his parents' house so that they could collect their parcels. He had not thought about the Fish-Catching Internet Cafe at all.
"I'll inform Zhang Yuan and ask him to open a Fish-Catching Internet Cafe nearby. Whether it makes a loss or a profit, at least I'll be able to surf the internet here during the Lunar New Year …
"Eh, that's not right. Zhang Yuan has already been eliminated by me.
"I'll wait for the new person-in-charge of Fish-Catching Internet Cafe after the Lunar New Year, then …"
Pei Qian dispersed the smell of smoke outside before saying goodbye to his childhood friends and high school classmates. Then, he walked back.
On his way back, Pei Qian thought about his gaming experience in the internet cafe today.
His childhood friends and high school classmates had been wavering between IOI and GOG when they had been deciding which game to play.
Obviously, IOI and GOG were the two most popular PvP games that had appeared recently. They had been quite influential among the gamers.
However, everyone had chosen IOI after hesitating for a while. Pei Qian felt very gratified.
Indeed, the public's eyes were sharp. IOI was still better!
However, Pei Qian realized that IOI was quite different from LOL after playing it in-depth. The heroes basically had nothing in common, and the controls were more complicated.
What's more, playing IOI in the country required an accelerator to connect to a foreign server. Thus, the delay was more serious.
Of course, this did not affect its current popularity.
It was not just Fish-Catching Internet Cafe. At the moment, many other internet cafes also had IOI and GOG on their game lists.
The bosses of the internet cafes were very good at observing the situation. They would immediately arrange for the most popular games in the internet cafes to be on their game lists.
What's more, IOI had just been updated today. After all, the United States did not celebrate the Lunar New Year.
Just as he was about to reach home, his phone rang.
Pei Qian thought that it was his mother calling him home for dinner. However, he whipped out his cell phone in the cold wind and saw that it was Li Yada.
"Eh? Why are you calling me now?
"New Year's greetings?
"That's not right. Didn't you send me a text on New Year's Eve?"
Pei Qian picked up the phone, confused.
Li Yada's slightly anxious voice came from the other end of the line. "Boss Pei! I realized that IOI seems to have updated another version. Did you notice? "
Pei Qian, "Oh, I know. What's wrong?"
Li Yada was stunned. She did not expect Boss Pei to be so calm. There was even a hint of … joy in his calmness?
"Boss Pei, after this update, GOG's competitiveness with IOI has greatly decreased! Finger Games does not celebrate the Lunar New Year!
"The ten-day holiday during the Lunar New Year might seem insignificant, but our game is already lagging behind IOI. If we drag this on, the situation will only get worse. We might not even be able to catch up!
"Can I apply to start work earlier? I know it's not right to work overtime, but the situation is urgent … "
Pei Qian frowned.
Start work earlier???
