Chapter 1082: Boss Pei Seems to Have Some Conscience!
After hearing Boss Pei’s words, the authors’ expressions quickly changed from apprehension to shock and then to joy.
The authors were very apprehensive when they first saw Boss Pei.
After all, the treatment in the inspiration class was really too good. However, the authors’ final works were very difficult to satisfy themselves. That made everyone feel a little guilty.
Many authors did not believe Boss Pei when he said that the results of the inspiration class were satisfactory. They thought that Boss Pei was afraid of hurting everyone’s fragile souls and deliberately said that to comfort them.
However, the authors were instantly convinced now that Boss Pei had announced the development of the three movies’ copyrights.
It looked like Boss Pei was quite satisfied with these works!
Why else would they be qualified to develop copyrights?
There were so many outstanding web novels every year, but only a few of them were qualified to develop copyrights.
On one hand, it was because the conditions for copyright development were harsh. On the other hand, it was also because the investment for copyright development was relatively large. Once it failed, the loss would be huge. Thus, he had to consider it carefully.
Writing a novel was a personal matter; to turn a novel into anime or a web series often required the close cooperation of an entire team and the corresponding publicity channels…
Which author did not want their copyrighted novel to succeed?
Turning words into images would increase the spread and fame of the story by a large level.
The authors of the three chosen books were all excited because they had never expected such an opportunity.
The authors who had not been selected did not feel disappointed at all. That was because they had not expected their books to be selected. Instead, they were more motivated and hoped that their works would be on the next copyright development list!
“Boss Pei is awesome!”
“I will write well and not let Boss Pei down!”
“What are you waiting for? Everyone, get back to work!”
The authors, who had been lifeless just now, suddenly regained their vitality. They returned to their posts like they had been on steroids. Some continued to collect materials while others could not wait to write and create.
Most of the authors who had wanted to go back to work after finishing their novels also gave up on that idea.
Anyone with discerning eyes would be able to tell that the chances of copyrights being developed in this inspiration class was far greater than Zhongdian Chinese Network’s regular online novels. It was also much higher than other websites!
Among more than twenty works, three had been selected to be adapted into games, web series, and comics. The ratio was simply sky-high!
Who would be willing to leave with such temptation?
This book might not be good now but there was still hope for the next one!
It did not matter even if they did not get the opportunity to develop copyrights after writing three or four books. However, they had to at least give it a try. There would not be such an excellent opportunity in the future if they missed it!
As for the three selected authors, they were even more excited. The passion for creation that had been extinguished previously burned once again.
Even though the main part of the three novels had been roughly completed, there were still a lot of details that needed polishing.
If there was no hope of revising it, they might have to muddle through. In any case, they did not have much influence. What was the point of wasting so much effort on those details?
However, the situation was completely different now that he wanted to change it and show it to the entire internet audience.
Not only did they have to avoid any mistakes in the details, but they also had to work hard to perfect the plot that they had already written and enrich it so that it would be perfect.
These three works were all personally selected by Boss Pei. Wouldn’t it be embarrassing for Boss Pei if the script writer in charge of the adaptation saw them?
That must not happen!
Pei Qian nodded in satisfaction and turned to leave seeing how the authors were once again engrossed in their work.
It looked like these authors would not run away in the short term. The inspiration class was saved.
Pei Qian thought that since the effect of the inspiration class was so good, he could consider expanding the size of the inspiration class in the next cycle. For example, he could rent another floor and recruit 20 to 30 authors.
Wouldn’t it be perfect if the expenses were doubled?
However, that was for the next cycle. He would not think about these two months.
Pei Qian had just left the inspiration class when his cell phone vibrated. A memo popped up.
“Eh? It’s time to give Meng Chang a commission again today.”
Time passed very quickly. It was almost the end of the month.
Pei Qian felt speechless when he thought about last month.
He had already gotten rid of the wrong answer for Meng Chang. He did not even make Otto G1’s publicity plan. He only made a smart fitness drying rack.
In the end, it was still useless!
Meng Chang came to Lin Jiaqiang for this publicity plan and produced a promotional video that was quite popular. What was worse was that Lin Jiaqiang himself used the smart fitness drying rack to lose weight. He even edited the video and posted it on Aili Island’s website, causing an extremely high popularity!
Pei Qian did not even have to look at the analysis report to know that Meng Chang’s commission this month was probably 0.
What should he do?
Even Pei Qian was worried for Meng Chang.
It was almost time for settlement. Meng Chang had been receiving a basic salary for the past few months. That was too miserable!
Pei Qian still hoped that Meng Chang would be able to get some commission before settlement. Even if it was a thousand yuan, it would still be a celebration.
However, Pei Qian did not have a good solution. If he had a solution, he would have done the publicity plan himself. Why would he need Meng Chang?
He could only say, work hard together!
Pei Qian took the car back to his office and quickly met Meng Chang before it was time to knock off. He then arranged for the publicity work for next month.
…
“There’s still only the basic salary this month.” Pei Qian handed the analysis report to Meng Chang.
Meng Chang did not even pick up and nodded weakly as a silent agreement.
It was not the first time he had received a basic salary anyway. He was almost numb.
Pei Qian could not help but worry seeing Meng Chang’s fearless expression.
You’re not going to ruin it for me, are you?
Pei Qian quickly said with a serious expression, “Meng Chang, publicity work is very important. Don’t mess it up for me.”
“You have to focus 120% and think carefully about every publicity plan, understand?”
“Look at how nice I am to you. I helped you get rid of a wrong answer last month, but you still didn’t get a commission. What a pity!”
What Pei Qian was considering was that Meng Chang was racking his brains to reduce the influence of the publicity plan and reverse publicity for the product. In the end, the products were all popular.
Wouldn’t it become even more popular if Meng Chang completely gave up and casually came up with a few publicity plans every time?
Meng Chang was the first line of defense. Even if he could not fight the external enemy, he had to weaken the enemy’s strength, right?
Thus, Pei Qian was not lying. He was speaking from the bottom of his heart.
However, the corners of Meng Chang’s mouth twitched as veins popped out on his forehead.
How infuriating!
You still have the cheek to say that you helped me get rid of a wrong answer?
The two projects last month were all f*cking wrong answers!
So what if you removed one for me? Didn’t I give the publicity plan for the smart fitness drying rack for nothing?
However, Meng Chang could not think of any way to refute even if he was as angry as a pufferfish. He could only protest silently with silence.
Pei Qian was even more worried when he saw that Meng Chang was already in a situation where he was not afraid of making things worse.
This could not continue.
At the very least, he had to think of a way to let Meng Chang see some hope. Otherwise, no matter how energetic a person was, he would be dispirited under such a series of blows.
Pei Qian coughed lightly. “How about this, Meng Chang? I think the agreement we signed previously is a little difficult. Considering that Tengda’s products are naturally well-known, this brings many difficulties to the development of the publicity plan.”
“Therefore, I think that we can change the content of the agreement slightly and relax some standards. That way, your success rate would be higher. What do you think?”
Meng Chang’s eyes widened slightly, unable to believe what he had just heard.
Such a good thing actually existed?
Boss Pei was taking the initiative to relax the standards?
Meng Chang finally stopped being silent and asked, “How should we change it?”
Pei Qian pondered for a moment. “First, raise your base salary to 4,000 yuan. Second, relax the conditions for the publicity plan’s commission. As long as you spend enough money on publicity and maintain the publicity effect below expenses for half a month, you can at least obtain a guaranteed commission of 2,000 yuan. Even if the publicity effect suddenly improves, you can keep this 2,000 yuan.”
Meng Chang’s eyes gradually lit up.
The conditions sounded good!
It was a double guarantee.
In the past, his base salary had only been 3,000 yuan. Now, his base salary has been increased to 6,000 yuan. That was double!
Of course, if he wanted to get this basic guarantee of 2,000 yuan, he had to ensure that the publicity effect would not be good for at least half a month.
However, this should not be difficult.
This situation had been maintained for a long time when Meng Chang made the publicity plan for Mission and Choice. If Boss Pei had not suddenly changed the release date of the game to trick him, he might have already gotten the commission for that month.
All in all, the new plan was indeed beneficial to Meng Chang compared to the original plan.
Meng Chang nodded. “Alright.”
He subconsciously wanted to say “thank you”, but he felt that something was amiss. It was a little unreasonable to say “thank you” in a little dark humor. Thus, he only squeezed out an “okay” in the end.
Pei Qian said, “Let’s start next month.”
“The publicity plan for next month is to choose one out of four. You can decide which one to choose.”
“They are Zhongdian Chinese Network’s inspiration class, snack market, Tengda experience shop, and summer promotion activities.”
“I can help you get another wrong answer. You’d better not touch the summer promotions.”
Meng Chang sniggered inwardly. Do you think I’m stupid?
Every time Tengda burns money, it burns an earth-shaking amount. I must be crazy to choose summer events to advertise in the opposite direction.
However, Meng Chang had not thought about how to choose the first three projects because he was not familiar with them.
He thought for a moment. “Boss Pei, can I spend some time researching the specifics of these three projects before making a decision?”
Pei Qian was elated and immediately nodded. “Of course! You should have done more research long ago!”
“Do a good, deep research. If you need anything, ask the person-in-charge to cooperate with you.”
“We have to plan before making a move. We have to think carefully about the publicity plan, understand?”
Meng Chang was already used to Boss Pei’s sarcasm and nodded silently.
No matter how much he failed, he should be able to persevere for fifteen days, right?
His base salary went from 3,000 to 6,000 yuan. It might not be a lot, but at least it doubled. What’s more, as long as he did well, he would still have a chance to get a 100,000 yuan commission!
Meng Chang suddenly felt that Boss Pei was not that disgusting anymore.
This person seemed to still possess some conscience!
