Chapter 1398 Turncoats Will Surely Be Spurned! (Bonus Chapter for Monthly Tickets!)

After reading Qian’s newly revised film review, Pei Qian was shocked.

Shameless old thief!

Didn't you say you were going to delete the post and run?

Is this how you delete a post and run?

You clearly didn't delete the post, but instead sold out your allies and surrendered to the enemy!

You, deserting on the battlefield is one thing. After all, the front line has completely collapsed, and staying is certain death. Running away is human nature, and I don't blame you; but you not only surrendered, but also turned around and attacked your former comrades?

Shameless!

This kind of person should be despised by everyone!

But there's no need to get too angry. In the battle for survival, these wishy-washy turncoats are the most unwelcome.

This Qian guy previously trashed *The Successor* so hard that he was hailed as a leader by the haters. He's really stirred up a hornet's nest.

You think that just because you admitted defeat and praised *The Successor*, everyone will forget your dark history? That they'll forgive your past actions?

Daydreaming. Absolutely impossible!

Pei Qian opened the comments section under the film review, looking for netizens' abuse of Qian.

He couldn't very well scold people himself, but looking at the netizens' scolding would make him feel a lot better.

"Heh, think back to your previous film reviews. You're just a turncoat. Now that you see the wind's changed and you're being roasted, you know to change your tune. Where were you before? The difference between you and Tian Gongzi is like heaven and earth. There's absolutely no comparison!"

"A guy who deliberately trashed the movie has a conscience now? Huh, why did I say 'now'?"

"Normal. I remember this guy blindly trashed *A Better Tomorrow* before, but then he saw the wind change and revised his film review. He's an old turncoat."

"What qualifications does he have to be compared with Tian Gongzi? He's just a film critic. Tian Gongzi clearly does big things in real life. Making videos is purely a hobby. Comparing the two of them is just bullying."

"I don't think everyone should be too harsh. To err is human, to forgive divine!"

"Indeed. Knowing how to admit mistakes is better than those stubborn mules."

"I don't think Qian should be entirely blamed for this. The reason his previous film review was so popular was that it expressed what many people were thinking. At that time, too many people felt that the plot in *The Successor* was too ridiculous and lowered their IQ. If something similar hadn't happened in reality, I'm afraid everyone still wouldn't have changed their minds."

"I think so too. As the saying goes, the truth is always in the hands of a few. People like Tian Gongzi, who can see through the essence of the story and reality at a glance, are ultimately a minority. Most people are at Qian's level. You guys are calling Qian a turncoat, but aren't those who changed their scores also turncoats? Everyone's a turncoat, but knowing how to admit mistakes is a good thing."

"And I think Qian's new film review is pretty good. It's better than those mindless praises of *The Successor* I saw before. Of course, that's not to say you can't praise it. Since it's a masterpiece, it's worth praising, but most of the previous film reviews didn't hit the mark."

"I also realized after reading the film review that the story of *The Successor* is actually a satire of two aspects: both superheroes and reality. And what's interesting is that the superhero genre is actually an extension of reality. It's very interesting to think about it..."

"In short, a masterpiece doesn't need explanation. We all owe Teacher Cui an apology!"

"How many people were not optimistic about Teacher Cui when he joined the Inspiration Class? Did they all think Teacher Cui was there to slack off and retire? When he first wrote *The Successor*, many people sneered and said that a web novelist who abandoned his strengths to write nonsense was basically not far from failure. But now? Teacher Cui has evolved from a pigeon into a master of magical realism!"

"It has to be said that this Inspiration Class is really awesome. First *Eternal Reincarnation*, then *The Successor*, all of them succeeded. The last one is *The Academy of Acting*, although only three episodes have been broadcast and it's hard to tell, the quality is not bad. Considering the influence of GoG, it will definitely not flop."

"All three copyright adaptations were successful, and they succeeded in different fields and in different ways. So awesome!"

"Speaking of this, I have to praise Fei Huang Workshop!"

"Yeah, Fei Huang Workshop has always been constantly exploring, from short web dramas to documentaries, from movies to web series, constantly trying new themes and new forms of expression, and each time they can give us a surprise. This spirit of exploration and professional attitude is really embarrassing for some domestic companies that only know how to film idol dramas with big male and female leads to make money from fans!"

"Why do I feel that we should praise Boss Pei more? It is said that these three projects were all chosen by Boss Pei, and the *The Successor* series was filmed with huge investment despite the opposition of others. Without Boss Pei, where would the current success come from?"

"Because praising Boss Pei is already a basic operation. Nothing Boss Pei does is surprising, so everyone ignores it, right? Obviously, all the success of Tengda Group can be attributed to Boss Pei."

"Enough said, how can a divine drama like *The Successor* not be watched three or four times? Or even download all the episodes for permanent collection? I'm going to binge-watch it now!"

"Those who haven't changed their scores, hurry up and change them. This series hasn't even passed 9.5 points yet. Do you want this audience to nail themselves to the pillar of shame and create a meme of 'Aili Island users don't understand movies'?"

Amidst a wave of praise, the score of *The Successor* on the Aili Island website rose sharply!

Sometimes it was so fast that every few minutes, refreshing the page would show the score rising.

Pei Qian was dumbfounded.

What happened to the netizens' heavy blows to Qian?

What happened to the turncoats who were never going to have a good ending?

What's going on now?

Why can Qian revise his film review and praise the movie to the skies and get away unscathed? And everyone is so generous that they don't pursue it anymore?

Damn it, this is completely unscientific!

But Pei Qian thought again, and it seemed to make some sense.

Because there were too many people who had trashed *The Successor* before, and the score had been pulled down to 6 points. It was enough to show that most people held the same views as Qian.

Just like a reply under the film review said: The actions of these viewers who changed their scores were not essentially different from Qian's.

In that case, why scold Qian? Scolding Qian is equal to scolding yourself!

A turncoat will indeed be attacked by the crowd, but what if everyone is a turncoat?

Then, it is obvious that the behavior of being a turncoat is quite worthy of forgiveness!

"...Miscalculated!"

"I didn't expect Qian to be able to get away unscathed like this?"

"Doesn't that mean it's a world where only I'm hurt again??"

Pei Qian originally thought that Qian was an ally, after all, he had specially come to comfort himself before he prepared to delete the post and run.

But he never expected that this so-called "ally" would turn around and stab himself in the back!

The key is that even though he defected, the enemy happily accepted him. It was outrageous!

This feeling is like there were originally two people in the trench defending the line, but one of them suddenly ran away and surrendered, and even ridiculed the last person who insisted on staying in the trench.

Too angry!

"Wait, no, I'm not the only one who's hurt."

"Isn't Meng Chang also quite miserable? He lost his commission again!"

Thinking of this, Pei Qian suddenly felt a lot more comfortable.

He was indeed quite miserable, but Meng Chang was no better!

*The Successor* signed a profit-sharing contract. Although this thing was hailed as a "classic masterpiece of magical realism," its viewership and score would definitely get higher and higher in the future, but no matter what, it would take a process and a certain amount of time.

Money would come in the next cycle, so let's talk about it next cycle.

But Meng Chang's commission disappeared on the spot!

Thinking about it this way, Meng Chang was more miserable.

"Meng Chang is too miserable. In the previous two months, there were unexpected incidents at the end of the month, which caused the commission for the two months that he had hoped to get in full to be cut in half; this month, it exploded on the spot because of Tian Gongzi's incident, and the commission was directly cleared."

"Too miserable, too miserable, it's really sad for those who hear it and tears for those who see it. Even I sympathize with him."

"What should I do? I'm afraid that such consecutive major setbacks will seriously dampen his enthusiasm for work, right? It would be too pitiful if he couldn't pay off the debt for twenty or thirty years."

Pei Qian didn't originally intend to tie Meng Chang to Tengda for the rest of his life. He would let him be an executor for a few years and work for himself for a few years, and that would be considered a transformation. He could be released back into society.

He believed that with this profound lesson, Meng Chang should repent and start a new life.

In that case, it would not be a good thing if he could not pay off the debt all the time.

What if Meng Chang suddenly saw through the world and became indifferent to everything? Wouldn't that be a terrible sin?

"We have to seize the time to find a way. Seeing that the pressure to make money in this cycle has increased sharply again, we have to seize the time to refine and implement the self-help plan that we thought of before."

"Meng Chang's commission model also has to be improved to protect his fragile heart."

After a painful reflection, Pei Qian stopped dwelling on the matter of *The Successor*. The top priority now was to seize the time to spend money.

In fact, Pei Qian had already thought of a way to spend money in a rush, but he was waiting and watching.

Because he was still harboring a glimmer of hope, what if *The Successor* and the game projects of the two departments were not popular?

Then these rush-spending methods would not be used all at once, but only one or two would be used, and the rest would be saved for later.

But in this situation, it was no use not using them, they had to be used all of them!

Even the intensity of some rush-spending methods had to be increased.

Pei Qian opened his laptop and began to finalize the rush-spending plan according to the plan he had thought of before.

When these plans were completed in the afternoon, he would call Meng Chang over and tell him about the modification of the commission plan to appease him, so as to prevent him from being too stimulated and having some mental problems.
