Chapter 1368: Buy a Black Script!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The first three episodes of ‘Successor’ were quickly done.
Pei Qian might have watched it once but he felt that it was not enough to watch a series that could not make money with one look!
He had to say that watching a drama series on the big screen of a television was very satisfying. What’s more, he could choose to open the bullet screen comments on Aili Island’s website to interact with other viewers in real time. The watching experience would improve.
It might have been quite popular and had just started airing. The number of bullet screen comments might not be as high as some anticipated and popular series, but it could basically be seen from the bullet screen comments and comments what the first batch of viewers thought about the drama ‘Successor’.
“Huh? Is this blond really the protagonist? Isn’t he too cowardly?”
“I don’t really understand what it means to make a rich man into such an ugly and useless person. I think the rich protagonist in Struggle is more similar to the situation in reality. In fact, there are many rich second-generation heirs in reality who are capable. There are very little pure trash like him.”
“That’s right. I also thought that Fei Huang Workspace’s drama series would be similar to Struggle. I’m disappointed…”
“This Phil’s character is really making me very uncomfortable. It’s fine if he was scared sh * tless by the criminals, but he’s not that good to the people around him. He’s really a pure piece of trash with a fake face… Sorry for disturbing you. I don’t even want to see such a person counterattack!”
“The protagonist’s character can be summarized as pure trash wearing a rich and handsome skin. I’m not wrong, right?”
“That’s right. This is the character that the author decided on. Of course, you can have other interpretations. For example, he’s not very handsome.”
“What’s with this world theme?”
“Superheroes obtaining superpowers from fans is too strange.”
“I think this setting is alright. The key is that it has severe brain damage. The ordinary people here are so stupid to a certain extent. The crime rate is so high and the superheroes are suspected of acting, but they are still trusting superheroes? And falling deeper and deeper? Are they all brainless?”
“I’m here for Lu Zhiyao. Where is he?”
“Lu Zhiyao and Zhang Zuting are both guest actors. They will probably appear later on. However, don’t expect too much. It would be good enough if they could run two or three episodes of the so-called calefares. Most of the time, we will definitely only watch this protagonist…”
“Sigh, forget it. It’s not my cup of tea. I’ll give it up. If fate allows it, we’ll meet again.”
“Don’t do that. The original party said that the first three episodes were quite well filmed. They really showed the content of the original work. Everyone, watch two more episodes. I think the plot will definitely not disappoint everyone!”
“It showed the original content very well? I’m sorry, I have to run away! If it’s still like that, why should I torture myself!”
Pei Qian could not help but smile as he looked at the bullet screen comments and comments.
Not bad!
Everyone could see the annoying aspects of this film at a glance. That meant that everyone’s brain circuit was normal. It was worth celebrating.
This also showed that it was a very wise move for Pei Qian to find Fei Huang Workspace to invest a huge sum of money in the adaptation of ‘Successor’.
However…
That was not very interesting.
Pei Qian looked around at these comments and realized that he did not know if it was because everyone’s quality was too high or because they had a natural good impression of Fei Huang Workspace’s brand. Everyone was not scolding directly and were a little tactful. Many things were obviously not harsh enough.
Until now, most of the audience’s dissatisfaction with the series was mainly focused on the protagonist’s character, worldview, when Lu Zhiyao, Zhang Zuting, and the other bit-role actors would appear…
It was not that he could not criticize them. The key was that the effect would not be so obvious after he criticized them.
Take the hatching setting for example. It might be a hatching point but it was not lethal enough.
What’s more, as the subsequent episodes were broadcast and the plot continued to progress, the haters would gradually change. These haters were not enough to stabilize the situation now. There might still be a possibility of a change in reputation in the future.
It would be better to attack the core of this story directly from the source.
However, until now, no film critics had done anything like that.
Pei Qian pondered for a moment. Since there was a loophole in this place, he had to make up for it.
If there was no film review, he could create his own!
Previously, Fei Huang Workspace had already filmed many movies. Pei Qian remembered a few influential film critics. He could even find fake reviewers to cooperate.
Ever since Pei Qian’s personal pockets were filled, he became very confident.
“Then who should I look for…”
Pei Qian thought about it for a long time and suddenly found a suitable candidate.
Just Qian!
When Tomorrow is Beautiful premiered, this person had written many negative comments from various angles. Although he had also been scolded, the response had been quite good.
Of course, when Pei Qian gave him money to brag about it awkwardly, he ended up being praised to the skies instead…
He could only say that the cooperation was not very good.
Pei Qian pondered for a moment. It was mainly because he had been too serious back then. What’s more, he had coincidentally bragged about the advertisement in Tomorrow is Beautiful’s movie. That was why he had accidentally failed.
It would be quite stable if he only wanted him to hack it and give a clear direction this time.
At that thought, Pei Qian immediately found Just Qian’s contact details and decided to pay him out of his own pocket to write a negative review of ‘Successor’.
He had no other choice. The System would not allow him to reimburse the game. In order to ensure that he could incur losses for ‘Successor’, he had no choice but to spend as much as he could.
Fortunately, Pei Qian’s bank account was gradually filling up. He did not have much expenses on his own. Spending three to four thousand yuan to buy a black draft might be a little painful but it was still necessary to think about the commission after losing money.
Pei Qian was also very direct. He said that he would get Just Qian to write a bad review of ‘Successor’. The main reason was to attack the core of the irony of this game. If he felt that the content of the first three episodes was too little and not enough to be analyzed, he could take a look at the original.
There was no response after a long time.
“He’s already sleeping?” Pei Qian was a little surprised. It was still early. The beautiful night life had just begun, right?
Just Qian finally replied after a while.
“…I looked through the chat history. Aren’t you the sponsor of Tomorrow is Beautiful?”
Obviously, Just Qian did not reply immediately. He went to look through the chat records.
He was very confused after flipping through it. Something was amiss.
Previously, this person claimed to be a sponsor of Tomorrow is Beautiful. Wasn’t that someone from Fei Huang Workspace?
‘Successor’ was also a series from Fei Huang Workspace?
Why was he spending money to defame his own series? Was he crazy?
Pei Qian was stunned as well. He did not expect Just Qian to look through the chat history. That was indeed awkward.
“Hehe, it’s actually like this. I’ve already resigned from my previous company. My current position is a little subtle, you understand?”
Just Qian suddenly understood. “Oh, I understand. No problem then.”
It turned out that his love turned into hatred after he left his previous company. Oh no, he might have been poached by his competitor so it was normal for him to spend money to buy a bad draft.
Just Qian: “5,000 yuan per shot. You can jump ship, but you can’t possibly cut down on the money you gave me, right?”
Pei Qian: “…”
What the f*ck.
Just Qian did not want to change his film review previously because Pei Qian used his paywall method and increased the price from 1,000 to 5,000. He forced Just Qian to change his review.
Now, Just Qian was asking for money confidently.
You gave me five thousand yuan before, but I have to give you five thousand yuan now!
He could not possibly go back on his word by changing companies, right?
Pei Qian was filled with regret!
It was the same back then. He did not feel the pinch when he spent the System Funds at all. He would increase it by 1,000 yuan. Now that he thought about it, perhaps 4,000 yuan was enough for him?
Forget it, forget it. Five thousand it was.
They were all old acquaintances. There might be opportunities for cooperation in the future.
Pei Qian gave him a 1,000 yuan deposit first. He would wait for him to finish writing the script before he closed the deal.
Just Qian quickly took the money. “No problem. I’ll make up for the series and novels now. I’ll give you the script within three days.”
He had to say that the spending experience was not bad.
At the very least, Just Qian was very efficient in collecting money to do things. Pei Qian felt slightly better.
Since that was the case, he would wait patiently. In any case, ‘Successor’ would probably continue to be scolded in the next week. Then, its popularity would gradually decrease.
Three days later, this film review would be released to drive the trend and make ‘Successor’ cool down faster. The timing was just right.
…
…
December 17th, Monday…
GOG and IOI’s international competition had ended. The team members and staff would return to China this week.
Of course, Pei Qian did not forget to let everyone play in Europe for a few days. He would spend as much money as he could, especially FV Team.
FV Team had earned a bonus from IOI after all. They would also give the club a share of the profits. He had to think of a way to spend it.
‘Successor’ did not cause much of a stir. It was basically developing according to plan.
Pei Qian had nothing else to do while waiting for Just Qian to write his review. All of a sudden, he realized that he should visit Thriller Hostel soon.
He had already said that he would build a roller coaster here. What did the roller coaster look like? Pei Qian really did not know.
The main reason was that there were too many other things. Thriller Hostel was originally very remote. The construction area of the roller coaster was a distance away from the original Thriller Hostel. Traffic was not very convenient, and there was nothing much to see during the construction process. Thus, Pei Qian had never come.
Now that the roller coaster had been completed and was waiting to be opened, he could come over and take a look.
Of course, the experience was definitely off the table. Even if Pei Qian had deliberately emphasized that this roller coaster had to be smaller and less exciting to dissuade tourists, it was still a roller coaster no matter how short it was. It would be a little scary to go up.
He looked at it from afar and roughly knew what to do. He just had to determine if Chen Kangtuo wanted to enter the next Suffering Travels list..
