Everyone listened attentively.

When they first encountered the script, everyone felt that it was lacking and had a low chance of success.

But now, upon hearing that the creative source of the script was Pei Zong, and that it had been approved by Pei Zong, the story became entirely different!

After Cui Geng explained his creative intentions, many people followed this direction and realized that it was indeed the case.

Many aspects of the script, when delved into, actually had profound meanings!

Moreover, it satirized not only the system but also some prevalent economic and cultural issues in reality.

For instance, Phil, the protagonist of the story, used a reality show called "The Successor" to change people's perceptions to some extent, transforming his image from an "uneducated rich second generation" to "a professional who truly understands superheroes," and further into "the only perfect superhero candidate with a chance to save Hope City."

And in reality, haven't some capitalists been using public opinion and various cultural and entertainment activities to change people's minds, ultimately profiting themselves?

In the story, Phil's fans voluntarily entered an information cocoon, believing only the opinions that favored Phil and ignoring all opinions that were unfavorable, ultimately making Phil invincible and victorious in the superhero election process.

And in reality, haven't some capitalists been working hard to create information cocoons, turning those fans and users into the most useful soldiers and the most indestructible walls, indulging in the accumulation of wealth?

In the story, the mistaken concept that "the rich's wealth comes from hard work, and the rich naturally possess noble character" was, like in the world of *Struggle*, deeply rooted in the minds of ordinary people through repeated propaganda, like a mental brand, adding another shackle to them.

If summarized...

*The Successor* is somewhat like a superpowered version of *Struggle*, except that its story isn't about the rich struggling in the clouds and the poor struggling in the mud, but about the rich trying to defeat all the rich people competing with them in the clouds by kicking all the poor people into the mud, thereby becoming the supreme and only god.

After a long silence, Zhang Zuting said, "I see, I understand what that feeling was about before."

"When I first saw this script, I didn't consider it from this perspective at all, and only saw a little bit of satire. This kind of satire wasn't enough to move me."

"Now I understand, the reason why this story is unpopular is that the dimension of expression is too lacking when using words as the medium, and the impact of many contents is far less than the actual visuals, so it is difficult to express this profound content."

"The reason why *A Beautiful Tomorrow* and *Struggle* were successful is because their media were movies and games, using a lot of content to show all kinds of details, allowing the audience to completely immerse themselves in them, at which point the hidden content can be unearthed."

"But *The Successor* is a novel. These satirical contents cannot be explained too bluntly, and the sense of immersion and appeal of words alone is not enough. In addition, Zhongdian Chinese Website is, after all, an online literature platform, and your writing style and creative habits all come from online literature, making it difficult to control this subject matter and unable to show so many details well, so it is not very popular."

"In fact, the framework of this story is quite worthy of in-depth exploration."

Zhu Xiaoce nodded: "So, Pei Zong asked for this work to be adapted into a web series."

"Only when it is adapted into a web series can the true potential of this story be fully realized!"

"Of course, since this script was not written by Pei Zong himself, the depth may be slightly worse. But after thinking about it carefully, I still think this is a good script because the content it expresses is completely consistent with what Pei Zong wants to express."

"As long as our team of screenwriters work together to make up for these shortcomings, this story can still unearth a lot of potential."

"Pei Zong seems to have a compassionate feeling and is always worried about capital controlling our lives and further controlling the world. This worry is also reflected in some of his works."

"But most people think that this worry is unfounded. Perhaps this makes Pei Zong feel a little anxious, so he strongly supports similar themes."

"I think Pei Zong's attitude is that even if this web series loses money, it must be filmed."

"Because it is meaningful and valuable!"

Everyone nodded.

Those who had previously doubted the script no longer struggled with this issue.

Since Pei Zong thinks there's no problem, then let's shoot it!

Even if it loses money, it won't be a crippling blow to the current Tengda, and Pei Zong should be able to bear it completely.

As for Fei Huang Studio, even if this web series fails, it shouldn't cause them too much of a blow. After all, everyone was very clear from the beginning that it would be very difficult to make money with this web series.

Some things cannot be achieved at the same time after all.

Since a choice has already been made, and this choice is firm enough, there is no need to worry about regretting it after a failure, nor will it affect their creative state of mind.

Lu Zhiyao took the lead in expressing his position: "Okay! What Pei Zong wants to do is a very meaningful thing. Even if the chances of failure are high, I fully support it! It's no problem not to take a salary this time. I don't lack money, and I feel very honored to participate in such a meaningful thing personally!"

Zhang Zuting also nodded: "That's right, no matter what, we should help!"

Zhu Xiaoce hurriedly said, "It's definitely not okay to not take a salary! Not only the salary, but all the expenses required for filming in the US, including air tickets, accommodation, etc., are of course all covered by us, according to Tengda's standards."

"Friendship is friendship, business is business. If Pei Zong finds out that you don't want a salary, I'm afraid I won't be able to continue as the director."

Zhang Zuting and the others looked at each other, smiled, and nodded: "Alright then!"

Cooperating with Pei Zong is just so comforting.

Not only is there spiritual satisfaction and doing meaningful things, but in terms of material aspects, they will never be treated unfairly.

Now the only regret is that Tengda Group only has Fei Huang Studio as its film and television department, and the speed of filming movies is really limited.

If Tengda had three crews starting up at the same time, able to shoot six movies a year, that would be great!

Zhu Xiaoce said, "Okay, then let's get ready. We'll officially set off in a couple of days and go abroad to complete the filming mission!"

August 14th, Tuesday.

Chaolu Games Platform.

Tang Yishu saw off another representative from a game company and returned to her workstation to take a sip of tea to moisten her throat.

She had been a bit busy these past two days, but fortunately, it was within an acceptable range.

After all, not all game companies would personally come to discuss things face-to-face.

Over the weekend, Meng Chang's promotion had an effect.

Although this promotional plan was not very effective, not bringing in many players, it was equivalent to spending money to hear a sound, but at least it had created a certain amount of awareness.

For players, this platform hasn't even made an application yet, and they haven't heard of any awesome exclusive games, so naturally they won't pay too much attention to it; but in the eyes of many game companies, large-scale advertising at least shows one thing, that this platform is quite rich.

Although this kind of advertising is a bit silly, being silly and rich... isn't that just right?

So, on Monday and Tuesday, more and more game companies brought their own games to discuss cooperation with Chaolu Games Platform.

In fact, there were companies that came over on Sunday, but they were turned away because they don't work on weekends here.

Not only that, but a large number of companies also contacted the business side of Chaolu Games Platform through the official website and sent over the demo of their games that were being tested, hoping that they could try them out. If they felt that there was no problem, then the two sides could meet and discuss in detail.

As a result, more than 90% of the games were rejected because of bugs!

Because a relatively large number of games were received, and there were many that had been running stably for several months, the issue of bugs did not lead to a situation of "no one surviving."

After all, those games that have been running stably for several months may have hundreds of thousands or millions of of players, and some bugs that appear very rarely will be reported to the official for modification. As long as the testing teams of these game manufacturers are slightly diligent, these bugs can basically be fixed.

Tang Yishu's "aura" only accelerates the exposure of bugs, increasing the probability of those bugs that are not easy to appear, but it will not create something out of nothing or manufacture non-existent bugs.

Moreover, this is a matter of probability. If a bug has not appeared even after millions of players have run the game process tens of millions of times, then it can basically be regarded as non-existent, because the probability is too low and it will not be triggered.

But even so, rejecting more than 90% of the games is still a rather shocking "battle result."

Li Yada even thought at one point that Chaolu Games Platform was about to "die before it could even begin."

At this rate, how many games will be available when the game platform is officially launched?

If there are too few games on the entire platform, so few that they can be counted on two hands, would they still have the nerve to call themselves a game platform?

But these games do have serious bugs, and it is definitely not okay to force them to be put on the shelves.

Therefore, they can only hope that these companies will give it their all and fix all the bugs as soon as possible, like Yan Qi.

Currently, the attitudes of these companies are clearly divided into two categories.

One category is like Lao Liu, who says they will modify the bugs, but then there is no news from them.

They feel that their games are running well on other platforms. Although there are occasional bugs, it's not like they can't be played, right?

For such a newly established small platform, is it worth investing so much manpower and resources to fix these bugs? Wouldn't it be better to make a few more sets of clothes and weapons to make money?

The other category is similar to Yan Qi. No matter how many bugs are found, they promise to modify them conscientiously until there are no serious bugs.

From the current point of view, among the companies whose responsible persons personally came to Chaolu Games Platform to discuss cooperation, the ratio of these two approaches is about 6:4, with only 40% of the companies willing to modify the bugs conscientiously and maintain contact with Chaolu Games Platform.

Most of these are small companies.

As for those companies that contacted them online, the ratio is 9:1 or even higher, with less than 10% of the companies expressing their willingness to modify these bugs, while the remaining 90% have completely disappeared.

This is also normal, after all, they can see the occurrence of these bugs on the spot, while those companies that sent game demos remotely cannot reproduce these bugs after receiving feedback from Chaolu Games Platform. They may feel that Chaolu Games Platform is deliberately picking on them and has no sincerity in cooperating, so there is no follow-up.

In order to avoid these companies' misunderstanding, Tang Yishu had to record videos while playing, and send the video files of the bugs occurring together.

This improved the situation slightly, but the improvement was also very limited.

Because these companies are not in Jingzhou, it is already very difficult to communicate online, and the bugs are difficult to reproduce. Since they probably won't meet the requirements of Chaolu Games Platform even after the modifications, they might as well not bother and just call it quits.

Now Li Yada is like a diligent squirrel, working hard to collect every chestnut for the winter.

After accumulating a few companies that are willing to fix bugs, she created a group and pulled all the responsible persons of these companies into it, and periodically cheered them on.

What if another game company gives up on cooperation because of the bugs that can never be fixed?

Then this game platform really won't be able to open!
