Qing Shan Qu Zui
Chapter 522 This is a Small Token of Appreciation for President Pei (Four Updates Seeking Monthly Tickets!)
After a day of writing, the authors uploaded their chapters and prepared to go back to rest.
Cui Geng stretched and nodded in satisfaction as he looked at the more than seven thousand words he had written today.
To date, *Butterfly Game* had reached more than 1.6 million words and had been a regular on the bestseller list of Zhongdian Chinese Website.
Moreover, due to President Pei's adjustment of the website's revenue share, which increased the author's revenue share to 70%, Cui Geng's manuscript fee income had increased by a large margin, and the motivation to strive seemed even weaker.
Cui Geng was originally a reincarnation of a pigeon spirit. Faced with this situation, he should have completely lost his motivation to struggle.
But after all, the spirit of Tengda had helped him find the direction of his struggle. So, after the initial enthusiasm cooled down, he regressed from updating 10,000 words a day during his most inspired moments to updating 4,000 words a day. He could still maintain the minimum update level and had not stopped updating.
For readers who were used to Cui Geng either being a pigeon or cutting his work off, this seemed to be good news.
However, Cui Geng himself could clearly feel that his writing seemed to have encountered a bottleneck.
For an author like him who rarely wrote more than a million words, this book had already reached more than 1.6 million words, which, to some extent, exceeded his control and experience. Every step he took was extremely dangerous.
Therefore, after thinking about it, Cui Geng decided to fight against the laziness that naturally arose in adversity.
And the way to fight was to come to the online writing training class!
Cui Geng's writing habits had changed many times.
At the beginning of the online writing training class, he found that he could actually write a lot. Sometimes, being slow was really being slow, and sometimes it was just an excuse for being lazy.
Afterwards, after receiving the education of the Tengda spirit, he found the crux of his thoughts and took this opportunity to start creating *Butterfly Game*, which raised his writing career to a higher level.
Now, as the number of words increased, Cui Geng encountered more and more problems, and sometimes it was difficult to overcome them even with the Tengda spirit.
Therefore, he applied to Chief Editor Zhu to return to the online writing training class, locked himself in a small dark room, and tried to find the feeling of being undisturbed by the outside world and highly concentrated.
It had to be said that the effect was obvious.
After changing the environment, his writing efficiency had greatly improved again, returning to the level of more than 7,000 words a day, which was already very difficult for Cui Geng.
After completing today's work, Cui Geng left with the other authors. Some were going to internet cafes to play games and relax, and some were planning to go back to rest and sort out their outlines.
Cui Geng could clearly feel that the online writing training class was also different from when it first started.
After several rounds of old-timers leading newcomers, taking advanced studies in the training class had become a normal practice for Zhongdian Chinese Website. Authors exchanged ideas, learned from each other, and made progress together. More and more people found that this training class was indeed a good place that could significantly improve efficiency and results.
Over time, it entered a virtuous circle.
And Cui Geng had become a role model in the minds of the authors and a typical example of the success of the training class.
Cui Geng couldn't help but sigh, *sigh*, I'm carrying the burden of being an idol at such a young age. My life is so hard.
When he came downstairs and was about to go back, Cui Geng saw a familiar figure.
"Wu Bin?"
Cui Geng had a deep impression of Wu Bin. During the Tengda spirit study, it was Wu Bin's interpretation that helped him see the light and suddenly understand.
Wu Bin smiled and said, "Do you have time? Let's go for a couple of drinks?"
Cui Geng nodded and readily agreed: "Okay."
The two came to the nearby Moyu Internet Cafe and found an empty seat in the bar area.
It was already evening, and the number of people in the bar area gradually increased. The singer was tuning his instruments on the stage, and the performance would begin soon.
It was said that Moyu Internet Cafe was now experimenting with the 3.0 model, and new stores would be opening soon.
However, this original Moyu Internet Cafe 1.0 model still had enough customers. Chen Lei's popularity made the resident singers in Jingzhou yearn for Moyu Internet Cafe, and naturally, a group of fans came to the internet cafe specifically to tip him.
The commission income from drinks and tips had always been an important source of income for the Moyu Internet Cafe 1.0 model.
And Chen Lei was now busy with his own career. After releasing several singles, he often traveled around the country, participating in music festivals to accumulate popularity, and then preparing for his first concert.
Although Chen Lei was not in Jingzhou all year round, he had always said in interviews that he had never forgotten that Jingzhou was his hometown, and he would definitely go back to see it when he had time.
Wu Bin and Cui Geng each ordered a drink and chatted while drinking.
Wu Bin briefly explained his intention.
After listening, Cui Geng immediately slapped his thigh: "Please be sure to leave this kind of thing to me!"
The two hit it off immediately.
For Cui Geng, he was not short of money. After *Butterfly Game* became popular, he was even less short of money.
What he cared about most now was how to break through his bottleneck.
*Butterfly Game* had been written for more than a million words, and there were some signs of inspiration exhaustion. The slower he wrote, the proof.
At the beginning, he was full of inspiration and mental excitement, and he could easily get the content of the material. He could easily write 10,000 words a day. However, as the number of words increased, the available content became less and less. How to ensure that the plot did not decline became a problem that plagued Cui Geng.
In the past, Cui Geng, as the "special observer" of Tengda Group, could freely enter various departments of Tengda to collect materials. Many of the plots in *Butterfly Game* were adapted from the materials of various departments of Tengda.
But after the material was collected, he began to bury himself in writing, and rarely went to various departments of Tengda.
Now, although Cui Geng could continue to go to various departments of Tengda to collect materials, no matter how he collected materials, it was still the same materials as before, and it was difficult to continue to break through.
What's more, Tengda now had so many departments, and Cui Geng had the pressure of updating every day. If he didn't get the point, the efficiency of collecting materials would be very low, and the gains would not be worth the losses.
At this time, he especially needed someone like Wu Bin as his partner and guide!
Wu Bin had a deep understanding of the Tengda spirit. At the same time, as a member of the human resources department, he knew the structure and personnel structure of various departments like the back of his hand. He would definitely be able to find the best perspective for collecting materials and find the most suitable candidate.
And Cui Geng only needed to follow him to record and write the content well, which could not only help Wu Bin complete the annotation of the Tengda spirit, but also take this opportunity to break through the creative bottleneck.
Wouldn't this be killing two birds with one stone?
Therefore, Cui Geng also became excited.
"Then, where do we start? From the game department?" Cui Geng asked.
Wu Bin shook his head: "No. I can directly ask the person in charge of each department about the affairs of various departments within Tengda. These contents are easy to collect."
"As the saying goes, the authorities are confused, and the bystanders are clear."
"The understanding of the Tengda spirit has always been overly confined to various departments. This time, I decided to start from the outside and see what other companies outside the Tengda department and President Pei's partners think of President Pei."
"Perhaps in this way, we can better see the whole picture of President Pei's vast and starry thoughts."
Cui Geng nodded, expressing his deep agreement: "Then, where do we start?"
Wu Bin thought for a while and said, "As far as I know, President Li of Fuhui Capital has always been a business partner with President Pei, and he is currently working with President Pei to build the Thriller Paradise project."
"Let's find some time and start with President Li first."
...
...
May 18th, Wednesday.
In the old industrial area of Jingzhou City, Thriller Paradise was under construction in full swing.
According to the construction period, Thriller Paradise would be officially opened and receive tourists in July, so the construction team was still working overtime.
Fortunately, the factory buildings were all ready-made in this place.
The most troublesome thing to build was Thriller Paradise, which required major changes inside the factory building, so construction had already begun in December last year and continued until now.
And those industries that President Li and others wanted to open, including restaurants, hotels, etc., were all transformed from the original buildings of the factory buildings and the old industrial area, so strictly speaking, it was mainly to transform and decorate the inside of the factory buildings, not to rebuild the buildings. With sufficient funds and the construction team working overtime, they could be completed on schedule.
Moreover, the old factory building with its old appearance had a special sense of vicissitudes, which was very consistent with the style of Thriller Paradise.
After entering these old factory buildings, it was a completely different world. The comfortable dining, resting, and shopping environment allowed tourists to completely forget the fright and fatigue in the haunted house and enjoy themselves.
Li Shi came to the door of Chen Kangtuo's temporary office and knocked gently.
"President Li? Please come in." Chen Kangtuo welcomed Li Shi in and handed him a cup of tea.
During this period of construction, Chen Kangtuo had also dealt with President Li and other investors a lot, and they were already very familiar with each other.
Since everyone invested in construction together, their interests were the same, and of course, it was easy to discuss anything.
Li Shi sat down and took two sips of tea: "Brother Chen, to tell you the truth, today I am representing all the other investors to provide Tengda with a proposal."
"Huh? What proposal?" Chen Kangtuo was a little surprised.
Li Shi took out a building drawing, which was a plan of the entire Thriller Paradise and the surrounding buildings: "In this golden location, I and other investors have specially vacated a factory building and prepared to decorate it into a market for selling various souvenirs and surrounding products related to Thriller Paradise."
"This market will be jointly funded by me and other investors. Tengda will provide the design plan. Finally, Tengda will share 50% of the income, and all other investors will share 50%."
"What do you think?"
Chen Kangtuo couldn't help but be stunned: "President Li, this is not appropriate, right? Isn't your arrangement the same as giving it away for nothing?"
Li Shi smiled slightly: "This is a little bit of our heart from all of us to President Pei."
