Losing Money to Be a Tycoon

onto Mission and Choice in advance?

No way!

‘Mission and Choice’ was a project that had he had invested a huge sum of money.
Nothing could go wrong.
It was only a game and a movie until now.
However, if many authors gathered together to write fanfictions about it and they became famous, wouldn’t all the works, including movies and novels become popular as well?

Therefore, he must definitely not let it work!

It must not involve Tengda’s core business!

At that thought, Pei Qian quickly said, “I think… this material selection is not very good.”

“That’s because Tengda’s games and movies basically have a more complete story.
The official platform would have to fill them up themselves even if there are ‘pitfalls’ left behind.
It would affect the future development plan.”

“Wouldn’t it be very awkward if you wrote a fanfiction about ‘Mission and Choice’ but ended up deviating from its settings? It would be equivalent to useless work.”

“I’m not saying that we can’t write it, but I suggest that we bring it down from the priority and consider other directions first.”

Cui Geng nodded.
“Hmm… Boss Pei makes sense.”

“If that’s the case, we’ll only have the domestic IPs that GOG bought and the comic series IPs from Hurricane Comics Company.
Let me think…”

“The IPs in the country might be old, but they still have some fame.
Perhaps writing a fanfiction about it would bring up some childhood memories.
This theme would become even more popular.
What’s more, it would be able to connect with GOG…”

Pei Qian could not help but frown when he heard that.

That wouldn’t do either.
There was still danger!

Many classic IP characters were actually very likely to become popular.
For example, there were some old movies that no one would be interested in, but they would inexplicably become popular with a BGM edit.
Such a situation had also happened before.

These classic IP characters in the country might be outdated, but they were the common memories of a generation in the country after all.
What’s more, they had traditional Chinese cultural characteristics.
It would be harder to deal with them when they became popular.

Coupled with GOG’s huge influence in the country, the chances of something happening were much higher.

Of course, Pei Qian felt that the creative model of the “inspiration class” had been decided.
The success rate of authors would not be high no matter which genre they chose.
After all, they would be dancing in shackles while writing custom-made novels.

However, Pei Qian still hoped that these authors, especially Cui Geng, would choose a theme with the lowest success rate.

At that thought, Pei Qian said disappointedly, “Cui Geng, you are an author with dreams and aspirations.
Why do you keep choosing the easy path for yourself?”

“What kind of heights can you reach even if you write such a theme seriously?”

“If you have confidence in yourself, you should choose the highest difficulty and write about the superhero characters of Hurricane Comics Company!”

Cui Geng was stunned.
“Huh? Boss Pei, you think too highly of me…”

Writing a superhero theme?

I’m just an ordinary web novelist!

Superheroes was the playground of the top two comic companies in the United States.
They were the only ones who could play it well.
It would be boring no matter which other countries and authors wrote it.

There was another important reason apart from being an objective writer: cultural background.

The West advocated individualism, so the story of superheroes had a lot of ground to workd with.
What’s more, the audience in the West especially liked superheroes, so the film made were very popular.

The top two comic companies in the United States had decades of accumulation in hero characters.
That was something that could not be shaken.
Any superhero that they threw out could instantly kill the superheroes of Hurricane Comics.

Trying to make a name for himself in this field?

Cui Geng felt that this was unattainable dream.

He had a premonition about this: Even if he wrote on a superhero theme, he would probably not be able to get rid of the strong influence of online literature as a webnovelist.
At that time, he would not be able to please either sides.

Thus, Cui Geng wanted to give up on the spot.

“Boss Pei, I’m a web novelist.
Wouldn’t you be making things difficult for me if you were to force me into writing a superhero theme?”

“The entire structure of online literature and Superhero themes are two completely different things.
The final outcome would definitely be inappropriate if I were to write it forcefully.”

“What’s more, it’s impossible for me to achieve it if even the creators of these superheroes of Hurricane Comics could not make them popular!”

Pei Qian was even more certain that he had chosen the right path seeing Cui Geng’s attitude.
“Don’t belittle yourself!”

“What’s the ‘inspiration class’ for? Is it for you to collect inspiration?”

“Why didn’t I limit your updates and word count? It was so that you could work on it slowly.”

“If you follow the creative process of online literature and insisted on updating thousands of words or even tens of thousands of words daily, it would indeed be difficult for you to write a story about an outstanding superhero.
However, slow down and slowly polish it now.
As long as you persevere long enough and write enough stories, you will succeed one day!”

“All of you are top-tier writers and storytellers.
I believe that you will definitely be able to shine for any topic as long as you have enough time to research it!”

Cui Geng was still at a loss.
“But Boss Pei, we have a cultural gap with the West.
Superheroes are a theme that comes from Western culture.
If I were to write it forcefully, wouldn’t I be using my weakness to test other people’s strengths!”

“This is not something that can be changed just by accumulating research.”

“Indeed.” Pei Qian reluctantly admitted after a moment of silence.

“However, who said that superheroes can only be written for Westerners?”

“You can also write it for domestic readers!”

“A superhero theme that only targeted domestic readers might not necessarily fail.”

Cui Geng scratched his head.
“However, I can’t create an original.
I can only write it with the IPs that are available now.
Characters in Hurricane Comics Company are neither popular overseas nor domestically.
This means that these characters are actually lacking a breath of air.
I’m afraid it would not succeed because domestic readers doesn’t like superheroes at all, even if I were to localize it…”

“I don’t think I can make domestic readers like them.
It’s too difficult.”

Pei Qian pondered for a moment.
“Why do you have to like these superheroes? You can write all of them to their deaths or make them wish they were dead.
No one likes them anyway.
That would give you more freedom!”

“Don’t let the rules restrict your thinking.
Make bold assumptions!”

Cui Geng: “…”

He could tell that Boss Pei was determined to make him choose the most difficult theme: the superhero theme of Hurricane Comics Company!

In any case, no matter how hard he tried to find a reason, Boss Pei’s comments would always return to this topic.

However, how should he write this?

Why would someone who wrote online literature have to be so thick-skinned as to write on a superhero theme? Won’t it be a joke?

Cui Geng was extremely unwilling, but he realized that Boss Pei’s debate ability was indeed too strong.
He quickly became speechless.

In the end, he could only nod reluctantly.
“Alright, Boss Pei.
I’ll read Hurricane Comics Company’s comics in the next few days and come up with a concept…”

“However, don’t get your hopes up.
I won’t be responsible if you spend all the money on the fixed-rate contract for a bunch of rubbish.”

Pei Qian was overjoyed.
You can write a bunch of rubbish? That’s exactly what I wanted!

He patted Cui Geng on the shoulder immediately.
“Don’t worry.
It doesn’t matter even if the work is not successful.
It will be a meaningful attempt!”

“There will always be failures as long as we try!”

“Zhongdian Chinese Network is offering the fixed-rate contract because we will take the risk and allow you to create your works without any pressure!”

“Don’t worry and try to your heart’s content.
I’ll take responsibility if anything goes wrong!”
