You know, the literary website is significantly different from other websites, its content is generated by its huge resident authors, if there is no network author constantly updating their own network, the literary website has no content at all, if the website has no content, it is impossible to bring readers, this is an interlocking process.

Losing the author of the network is equivalent to losing the source, which is a truth of "the skin does not exist, and the hair will be attached", but obviously everyone here has not thought it through.

Only the online authors sitting at the back of the venue began to shake their heads again and again, and they all cast contemptuous glances at Li Tianlong, after all, the long-term free model hurt the most is the online author group.

The free model cannot create professional authors, and if authors cannot be professionalized, the development of online literature will lag behind greatly, and it will be difficult for excellent online literary works to appear.

Even if literary websites can make profits by making a long industrial chain, it is difficult to say how much of them can be actually distributed to online authors.

In this year, the income source of online authors is very limited, and there are very few who can really get the manuscript fee, like the Rambler in the Rain with the completion of the work "Nebula Zhi", obtained a physical publishing contract from a small publishing house, and only barely got a manuscript fee of 50 yuan per thousand words, and more online authors are still in a state of empty pockets.

There are many people among the online authors who also have the urge to speak, but the people who communicate with each other are the founders or managers of literary websites, and there is no part of the online authors to speak at all.

"Big cousin, what are you still doing in a daze, that Li Tianlong is really aggressive, and his attitude is very arrogant, which makes me very unhappy to watch, aren't you ready to let go of your mouth?" Xu Zhengxuan on the side quietly pushed Li Feng with his elbow, and said with a wink.

At this moment, Li Feng has been paying attention to the expressions of online authors, and unlike other literary websites, Li Feng's origin Chinese network pays more attention to online authors, because they are the backbone of the entire online literature industry.

As long as high-quality online authors can be cultivated, literary websites can continue to operate for a long time, which is applicable everywhere, but Li Tianlong did not find it.

In order for authors to make a profit, and even gradually cultivate a group of professional online authors, the free model is obviously difficult to work.

Under the market economy system, only by paying for labor can we build a long-term and stable relationship, and whoever has strong ability and great labor results should get more remuneration.

Without such an incentive mechanism, it is impossible to have a long-term prosperous online literature market without stimulating the endogenous motivation of the online author group.

Thinking of this, Li Feng also picked up the microphone: "Colleagues, I am Li Feng, the founder of the origin Chinese network, and I will also make a statement below." My view of the industry as a whole is different from that of Mr. Li of Tianlong Literature Network, and my view is that online literature must enter the charging mode. The long-term free model is harmful, not only will it not be able to maintain a healthy online literature market, but it may not be able to retain readers, which is a zero-sum game of killing a thousand enemies and losing eight hundred. How to retain readers, first of all, let our authors make a profit, so that they have time and energy to continue their creation, only by creating excellent works, can we really retain readers. Free is good, but will anyone see free garbage?"

Li Feng's point of view is like a ray of light in the dark, shining into the hearts of the rear network author group, and has also been recognized by most small and medium-sized literary websites.

Xu Zhengxuan on the side quietly gave a thumbs up and gave Li Feng a thumbs up, this big cousin, as soon as he put his mouth cannon, he is so reliable.

For other small and medium-sized literary websites, profitability is limited, and fees are imminent. If everyone enters the charging mode in a unified manner, there will be no problem of reader loss, and there will be no need to follow the zero-sum game of Tianlong Literature Network.

However, as long as a literary website does not enter the charging mode, it may instantly seize a large number of reader resources and subvert the fairness of the entire industry, which is what everyone does not want to see.

So in the free era, there are one or two websites that choose to charge a fee, and that's acceptable.

But in the era of charging, there are one or two websites that choose to be free, which is completely unacceptable, which belongs to vicious competition in the industry and will destroy the ecology of the entire industry.

Now, Li Tianlong wants to continue to play the free mode, and everyone is very unhappy, which is obviously to consume them.

"Oh?" Li Tianlong's eyes flashed, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and he didn't know whether to laugh or be angry: "This little Mr. Li, we are still our family, why is your opinion just the opposite of mine?"

Li Feng's sudden jump greatly surprised Li Tianlong's expectations, because in the current situation, as a small literary website, if it rashly chooses to charge, the original small number of reader resources will be lost immediately, and it may not take a month or two to go bankrupt and disappear without a trace, which is tantamount to suicide.

From this point of view, the subscription fee charged for readers is even far less than the loss of advertising fees caused by the loss of traffic, which is very uneconomical.

It is precisely this point that is expected, so after Tianlong Literature Network proposed the free model, Li Tianlong firmly believes that no literary website dares to embark on the road of charging mode alone, even if there is a website that dares to go, the final outcome is a word "death".

Many website founders here looked at Li Feng, the origin of Chinese network in the online literature industry does not have much seniority, can be said to be a pink new station, Li Feng just opened the station and planned to take the charging mode, which is really a bit risky.

However, looking at Li Feng's determined expression and calm sitting posture, all of them have a momentum of grasping the overall situation, and at first glance they are not lost to Li Tianlong at all.

This kind of bearing can't be pretended, it's a kind of diffusion from the inside out, could it be that this kid is really sure?

So almost everyone at the scene looked at Li Feng and wanted to hear what he had to say next.

"It is true that the Internet is open and shared, but that does not prevent the protection of intellectual property rights. Li Feng said, "If our online authors are not respected, and the works we have worked hard to write only get a cabbage price, then it will fundamentally destroy the entire online literature ecology, and when no online authors are willing to write books, the thriving situation of online literature will be broken." This is also not good for readers, because without excellent online authors to continue to write books, readers will not be able to see excellent online literature, and when everyone thinks that online literature is unprofitable, it is the real death period of the entire industry. ”
