Chapter 1556 I Can't Revise This Paper!

The thesis wasn't very long.

Hàndōng University only required 8,000 words for undergraduate graduation theses, which was relatively short compared to other universities.

Even if Pei Qian got carried away and wrote a little over, it was still less than 10,000 words.

Zhāng Wéi finished reading it in less than half an hour.

And after reading the entire thesis, Zhāng Wéi's mindset had undergone a tremendous change.

"This article is simply insightful and has such a grand vision!"

"Could it be that Pei Qian was just hiding his true abilities in those previous classroom assignments? Or was he just casually writing them in his spare time, not showing his true strength at all?"

"Yes, that's very likely!"

"After all, Téndá Group spans multiple fields, and its contributions in the cultural field are particularly outstanding. If Pei Qian was just an ordinary student, could he have created so many popular movies, games, and novels?"

"He's not relying on anyone else. Téndá started as a small company, and he spearheaded all of these projects."

"It seems that Pei Qian really wrote this graduation thesis seriously, showing some of his true level."

"And he even used real Téndá cases in it. This should also be a summary of his creative theories, right?"

"The only pity is that there aren't many references."

"And... what does this last sentence mean?"

Zhāng Wéi was filled with emotion.

When he first saw the title, Zhāng Wéi thought that this thesis was too broad and empty, and it was likely to be a completely failing work.

But after reading it, especially the abstract and the main body of the thesis, seeing the overall framework, Zhāng Wéi immediately changed his mind!

This article can be roughly divided into three parts: First, it analyzes the difficulties faced by literary and artistic works in the Internet age, then, based on this predicament, it puts forward the necessary factors for the dissemination and creation of popular literary and artistic works in the Internet age, and finally, it puts forward the mission of popular literary and artistic works in the Internet age and supplements it with specific examples of Téndá's creations.

It was small but complete!

Moreover, the entire thesis didn't have so much nonsense. It was all very informative content without any filler.

It could even be said that if some content was added to the framework of this thesis, and some literature was cited to expand it, then it would be enough to expand it into a master's or even a doctoral dissertation.

If it was even bolder, it could even be used as a higher-level research topic!

This situation made Zhāng Wéi feel a little unexpected.

The characteristics of this thesis can be simply summarized in the following aspects.

First, the professional knowledge it cites is quite basic, but precisely because it is all basic knowledge, there is no controversy and it is very solid.

Second, the theories put forward in the article have a strong sense of the times and foresight. In other words, it directly analyzes some of the characteristics of current popular literary and artistic works. Because it is too trendy, it is difficult to say whether it is right or wrong.

If you say it's right, it doesn't seem to have a direct connection with current theoretical research. But if you say it's wrong, it makes sense.

Moreover, liberal arts are different from science. Science is right is right, wrong is wrong, and there is basically no room for ambiguity. Truth is unique.

But liberal arts are about letting a hundred flowers bloom and a hundred schools of thought contend. Each has its own reason. As long as it is meaningful and can be verified with phenomena in reality, then it can be said that it is not wrong.

Third, this thesis combines a large number of real-world examples from Téndá, such as some successful games and successful movie scripts.

These contents themselves are filled with a large amount of textual data, and these textual data can also be seen as a form of expression of literary and artistic works.

These works have been successful in reality, so the theory of studying them naturally becomes very credible.

Zhāng Wéi couldn't help but feel a little茫然 (mángrán, at a loss).

"I don't think I can revise this paper!"

"It's completely beyond my capabilities."

"Pei Qian is not playing by the rules at all. How could he write such an undergraduate thesis?"

"What's even more outrageous is this last sentence."

"The theoretical knowledge referenced in this article is relatively basic and superficial. The completion time was short, and the preparation was not very sufficient, so it was not directly cited in the thesis. Please forgive me if there is anything inappropriate. If there are any errors, please feel free to correct them."

"It looks very humble, but combined with the content of the thesis itself, it gives people a very arrogant feeling..."

The more Zhāng Wéi thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong.

The knowledge cited in the article is indeed relatively superficial, but the key is what topics are studied using this knowledge?

If it is studying some very simple topics, then it definitely shows that the author's academic theoretical level is very low.

Because there is nothing in his stomach, he can only study these very basic theoretical topics.

But what if he is studying some very advanced, very trendy, and very grand topics, and he has indeed said something meaningful?

Then this shows that the author uses some very basic, very solid, and unquestionable knowledge to demonstrate a current, cutting-edge topic, and it is meaningful.

This will not make people feel simple, it will only make people feel that the foundation is solid, unquestionable, the great Dao is simple, and all paths lead to the same destination!

As for Pei Qian saying at the end that the writing time was short, the preparation was insufficient, and it was not directly cited in the article... this is indeed because Pei Qian is busy with work, so he didn't have time to complete it, which is understandable.

In other words, under the circumstances that Pei Qian's preparation time was so short, and he didn't even have time to list the citation sources of various basic knowledge in detail, he smoothly completed the entire framework and wrote a very excellent thesis. Doesn't this just show that Pei Qian's academic foundation is actually very high?

The structure is all in his heart!

As for the last paragraph, it seems to be saying: I think there should be no mistakes in this thesis I wrote. If you think you are awesome, then please find the mistakes. I don't mind arguing with you and demonstrating it. Let's have a good discussion.

Zhāng Wéi frowned slightly and muttered to himself, "This Pei Qian's academic level is obviously higher than mine!"

This kind of academic level does not refer to the ability to flip through literature and find reference materials, but the ability to truly research problems and solve problems.

Pei Qian has really applied this knowledge to his daily work, creating popular literary and artistic works that have been a great success.

And this thesis summarizes his experience and writes it out very clearly!

How can Zhāng Wéi revise it?

He didn't dare to revise it randomly, because it might be completely wrong after the revision.

The only thing he can do is to help Pei Qian cite and mark all the contents of these reference materials, so that the format of the entire thesis meets the requirements.

But is there any meaning in doing so?

They are all very basic knowledge, is it necessary to go through this formality?

Zhāng Wéi couldn't make up his mind, so he found several young lecturers in the profession, sent the thesis to them, and asked them to help take a look.

Soon, these young lecturers replied one after another.

"I've never seen such an undergraduate graduation thesis, it's not easy to revise!"

"Although there are some theories in it that I don't particularly agree with, and the thesis itself is not particularly mature, there are successful cases as a reference after all. I don't think it should be moved rashly. How about this, I'll study it for a few days, and give you an answer after I've figured it out."

"I think the academic attainments of this thesis are very high, which is exactly what current college students lack. Just keep its original appearance, don't revise it!"

"This thesis is a bit difficult to revise. What I can revise may only be the wording of some sentences, as well as some standardized formats and references. But it's really meaningless to revise these."

Seeing these replies, Zhāng Wéi was a little speechless.

He found that these young lecturers had almost the same attitude as himself, and they couldn't do anything about this thesis!

Because this thesis is in a very polarized state: the knowledge it cites is too basic, there is nothing to say, but the topics it studies are too lofty and too grand.

Zhāng Wéi was a little helpless and thought, "Why don't I just hand this thesis directly to Old Kǒng for a decision."

"This level of student can only be taught by Old Kǒng."

Zhāng Wéi can actually revise some details and add all the cited knowledge, but he feels that in terms of the level of this thesis, these citations are too basic, and it doesn't matter much whether they are added or not.

Let Old Kǒng take a look first, and then determine whether further revisions are needed.

…

At the same time, Pei Qian had just arrived at his office.

On the table was a detailed report on Finger Company sent by Eric.

Because Finger Company is far across the ocean, there is a time difference, so Eric can't often give Pei Qian work reports. In addition, Pei Qian has been in seclusion recently, so there is even less opportunity.

Therefore, Eric submitted a detailed report on his recent work at Finger Company, waiting for President Pei to read it when he has time.

Pei Qian happened to be very concerned about the situation at Finger Company, so he sat down in his boss chair and opened the report to check it.

Since Eric took over Finger Company, a series of power struggles have taken place there.

First, Eric carried out a comprehensive transformation of Finger Company according to Pei Qian's requirements.

For those senior executives who were previously responsible for the management and operation of Finger Company, he basically tried to persuade them to retire, leaving only some senior executives who were designers and artists, leading the remaining designers to reorganize various departments, specializing in the development of new heroes and cooperation with the GOG project team.

Of course, many middle-level and low-level employees also resigned. Pei Qian's attitude towards these people has always been that they are free to come and go, and he will definitely not stop them.

In short, Eric followed Pei Qian's request and fully prepared for the complete merger of the two companies!

The only shortcoming is that a small number of shares are still in the hands of the original senior executives. Although people can be dismissed, the shares cannot be taken back.

Pei Qian originally thought that they should be eager to throw out the shares in their hands and run away, because he made such an unreliable decision.

After all, if the shares are not sold now, they will only become more and more worthless in the future. Are they going to hold them in their hands and watch them depreciate?

However, at the beginning, the stock price of Finger Company did not fall significantly, and these senior executives did not throw away the shares in their hands.

There were even some discussions online saying that Téndá wanted to go public through a backdoor listing and indirectly absorb US stock capital through Finger Company?

Some people are quite optimistic about the future of Finger Company. After all, after the merger of the two companies, they have formed a de facto monopoly in the MOBA game market. Since Finger Company is highly controlled by Téndá, isn't Finger Company also entitled to the money earned by Téndá?

So some time ago, in response to this situation, Pei Qian gave Eric another trick.

Be even more ruthless!
