Chapter 1438: The General Direction Of The Thesis
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
January 31st, Thursday…
Pei Qian was still in his office, racking his brains for his graduation thesis.
During this period of ti, he had already revised the key works on Zhongdian Chinese Network, including the original version of ‘Successor’, the synopsis of many gas and the scripts of movies.
What should he say after he was done? He could not say that it was completely useless, but he still did not find the most suitable direction.
Pei Qian’s greatest feeling was that these things were really made by them under his inspiration?
Why do I feel so foreign when I read it…
It felt like he had found his primary school exercise book many years after graduation and was reading the composition on it.
He felt that he should have been very familiar with these words a long ti ago. However, there was only a sense of unfamiliarity and confusion now.
“Ah… I need so inspiration and help.”
“However, this is a little hard to talk about!”
Pei Qian felt that the best way was to ask Zhu Xiaoce or Cui Geng. However, the problem was that this matter was a little awkward. It might destroy his character, and he might not be able to get the results he wanted.
That was because all of these people were imaginative monsters!
If Pei Qian were to ask, they would definitely think: Would Boss Pei not understand these connotations? He would definitely understand! Why would Boss Pei ask then…
Was Boss Pei hinting sothing? Did he want to work harder to create better works?
Pei Qian had no doubt that this was indeed sothing they could do.
In other words, Pei Qian himself could not predict the kind of answer he would get and the uncontrollable consequences.
“If you want to obtain the right answer as much as possible, the best way is not to go there as Boss Pei, but to understand it from the perspective of a bystander and obtain relevant information from the side.”
“We can only try our best to eliminate everyone’s imagination and not let the objective environnt be affected by my intervention to ensure the authenticity of the answers as much as possible.”
“That’s right! It’s just like when I learnt ga design from Old Master He An.”
“In that case… I actually need an online authors class or inspiration class.”
“What’s more, I don’t have to co to the scene personally. It doesn’t matter if it’s a video or a story. I just have to obtain valuable information from the side.”
“Eh, that’s right. Didn’t Zhongdian Chinese Network’s weekly report ntion that Cui Geng gave a talk in the inspiration class recently and received so response online?”
Pei Qian quickly found the weekly report from Zhongdian Chinese Network on his computer. Indeed, he found a ssage in it: Cui Geng had opened a talk in Zhongdian Chinese Network’s inspiration class after the success of ‘Successor’. The content was’ the creative direction of the inspiration class’.
At that ti, Pei Qian did not take a closer look. He only rembered Cui Geng spouting nonsense on stage, saying that it was sothing like ‘Boss Pei’s personal guidance’, ‘traditional cultural and social phenona of the countryn’, ‘creative creation that suited the taste and preferences of young people’…
At that ti, soone recorded the video and posted it online. The most infuriating thing was that the number of views for this video was quite high! Many authors were reposting it!
The authors who had not entered the inspiration class treated it as a stepping stone to enter the inspiration class. The authors who had already entered the inspiration class treated it as their creative direction in the inspiration class.
Ridiculous!
Pei Qian was very angry. However, this video had only been spread in the authors’ circle and did not cause such a high popularity. Pei Qian had many more things to worry about. Secondly, Pei Qian had not confird the next step of the inspiration class. It was not appropriate to interfere rashly, so he did not bother.
But now…
Pei Qian suddenly felt like he could draw so inspiration from it.
“It feels very strange. Others misinterpret my aning, but I have to watch the content of his misunderstanding be used to write my own thesis…”
“F*ck, simply! What is going on!”
Pei Qian felt that his actions were extrely low-class. However, he had no choice. He had to do what he had to do for the sake of Prof Kong’s health and for the sake of Prof Kong’s safety.
After finding the video, Pei Qian watched it from beginning to end.
“Hmm… even though from my personal point of view, everything is wrong, everything makes sense from a bystander’s point of view…”
“What’s more, if you think about it from this perspective, you can indeed dig out sothing and find a point that can be combined with professional knowledge.”
Pei Qian fell into deep in thought.
Of course, Pei Qian could not copy Cui Geng’s theory completely. That would be ridiculous.
That was because this video could be found online. Wouldn’t it be very awkward if Pei Qian were to copy it completely?
Of course, even if they were found out, everyone would probably think that this theory was Boss Pei’s to begin with. It was just that Cui Geng had spoken about it in the inspiration class after he inherited this theory.
In other words, they would think that Boss Pei was copying himself and not himself.
However, Pei Qian could not do that because he had a bottom line. He could refer to a general direction for the thesis, but he had to have his own unique insights and work. He could not listen to everything else.
“Cui Geng’s speech is mainly based on the reality of the inspiration class. He explained the creative model of the inspiration class to other authors. In other words, it can also be seen as a large-scale experience sharing session of ‘Successor’. It only has a certain guiding effect on novels.”
“What’s more, the content he spoke was relatively simple. There was only one ready-made direction, but he did not ntion the specific environnt, the problems that existed, and the need to solve these problems…”
“If I can abandon Cui Geng’s influence as much as possible and continue digging in this direction, I might be able to gain sothing.”
“Hmm… this way, the title of the thesis can be ‘the creation and transmission theory of new-age art works’. Hmm… no, the word ‘new-age’ is too big. More accurately, it should be ‘internet age’.”
“What’s more, the scope of the artistic works is too broad. The serious literature includes it. It should be called a ‘popular artistic work’.”
“So the title should be the creation and transmission theory of popular literary works in the online age?”
“Temporarily set this question. If you feel that it’s not appropriate halfway through, you can change it.”
“This can include the difficulties faced by the transmission of traditional literary works in the online age and background, the need to solve this problem, and the necessary factors and historical mission for the transmission of popular literary works in the online age…”
Pei Qian briefly followed this direction and found that there was indeed a lot of content that could be written. It was more than enough to support an undergraduate thesis.
However, there were two problems.
The first question was that this question was a little too big.
Every level of a thesis had its scope and scope.
As an undergraduate, he had to know what to do. It would be best if he could choose a small field as an entry point. If he wanted to write more, both his ability and the length of the thesis would not be enough.
He would be able to expand the scope of his thesis only if he were to study masters and PhDs in the future.
That was common knowledge.
This thesis might have included the two restrictions of ‘internet age’ and ‘popular category’ but this range was still very wide. It could include general popcorn blockbusters, online novels, animation comics, online short videos, and so on.
It felt like he was overestimating his own abilities to write a thesis on such a large scale.
The second problem was that Pei Qian could only bite the bullet and write in this direction. The level of the thesis he wrote was completely uncontrollable.
He hoped that he was really as good as everyone imagined him to be, but he did not!
Even the previous works like Tomorrow is Beautiful and Struggle had been blindly produced. He had to re-explain himself.
These two were more serious problems but Pei Qian could only choose this after so thought.
That was because he really could not think of a better direction. What’s more, he could think of ways to overco these two shortcomings.
It did not matter if he could not control what he wrote. He would write it first. In any case, soone would keep an eye on it when the ti ca. He could slowly modify it in the future.
There shouldn’t be a problem if the questions were too big.
Undergraduate students might not be qualified to write such a huge question, but the requirents for undergraduate thesis were also low!
Others might be beaten back for writing such questions, but Pei Qian was Pei Qian after all. He believed that the professors during the dissertation would give the school and Prof Kong face and would let him off.
All in all, this was the most feasible direction that Pei Qian could find at the mont.
After smoothing out his thoughts, Pei Qian decided to follow this direction and co up with a general frawork.
Not long after he saved the docunt, he heard a knock on his office door.
Pei Qian looked up and saw ng Chang.
At the end of the month, ng Chang ca to match the commission.
Pei Qian found the commission figure on his laptop and handed it over.
“Not bad, work harder.”
He had just changed his commission mode in the middle of this month and put a revival armor on ng Chang.
The publicity for ‘Successor’ in the first half a month was naturally a complete failure. However, the publicity for Ghost General 2 in the next half a month seed to be quite effective.
Ghost General 2 was about to be officially released. ng Chang had also spent a lot of money on publicity. However, no matter how much money he spent, the popularity of this ga remained lukewarm.
He had to say that this was a good sign!
Pei Qian might not understand how ng Chang’s publicity strategy for Ghost General 2 was done but it was obvious that ng Chang already knew the art of war. He had beco a shape that no one could guess.
Pei Qian could not guess it either, but he believed that ng Chang was on the sa side as him.
The publicity plan for the second half of the month would only cost 100,000 yuan even if he obtained a full commission. This ti, ng Chang obtained 70,000 yuan from Ghost General 2. It was not much, but it was not little either.
Compared to the previous “one sudden death and the entire month GG” model, it was already quite benevolent.
ng Chang only glanced at it and handed the laptop back.
He no longer cared about how much commission he had gotten. He had only co to see the commission for a formality.. More importantly, he could not miss the opportunity to listen to Boss Pei’s instructions and impart the Pei family’s publicity thod.
