Chapter 723: Times Are Different

In the evening, the online literature festival officially opened.

I have to say that the penguins are indeed rich, and nearly 30 celebrities with names and surnames came to the whole ceremony.

Among them, there are veteran actors, actresses, and new popular actors.

No matter which one of them, they are the heroes and heroines who have participated in the IP film and television works of Penguin Literature Group.

In other words, only the protagonist is eligible to be invited to participate in this festival by Penguin Literature, and the other supporting characters are not enough to show the card.

With the presence of these stars, many online writers in the audience seem to have no sense of existence.

Even those platinum writers who earn more than 100 million a year still have no sense of existence.

This is because the general public basically only knows the writer's work, not the writer himself.

And celebrities are just the opposite, many people know that star, but they don't know what works they have, anyway, they often appear on TV or the Internet, and they inevitably know this person.

In addition, three traditional literary writers also came to the scene.

These three are quite famous and famous in the field of Chinese literature.

It's just that when Wang Shen saw these three at the scene, he was a little puzzled.

Because, according to the information that Cheng Lu fed back to him, Wang Shen knew that these three did not give face to the Internet writers at last year's Internet Literature Festival, and they stood on the stage with all kinds of contempt.

As a result, this year is here again.

Wang Shen also knew that these three could not be uninvited, so they were naturally invited.

And, who has the right to invite them?

Who else but penguin literature?

It can be seen that the status of online writers is not generally low.

According to Cheng Lu, last year, the three stood on the stage with a high-minded attitude.

At the grand ceremony of online literature, the deprecating worthlessness of online literature was regarded as dross and garbage.

The rise of online literature is called the sadness of the literary field.

Online literary works are like their footwash.

In short, the words were bitter and mean, and on the evening party of online literature, he stepped on the online literature fiercely.

At that time, many Internet writers left the table angrily and left.

Wang Shen didn't expect that this year, Penguin Literature invited these three again.

Obviously, this is capital.

Who made online literature inferior to traditional literature in the public's perception?

In order to promote IP, it is inevitable that bigwigs in the literary field will come to the platform.

That's realistic.

"Alas. ”

Wang sighed deeply.

Although he won the Hugo Award, he achieved the status of a superman in the field of literature.

But he doesn't think that there is a difference between online literature and traditional literature.

Is this like the difference between sanitation workers and office workers?

No matter what kind of job it is, on the premise of not breaking the law, as long as you make money to support yourself with your own ability, there is no distinction between high and low, and you are worthy of respect.

Maybe the reality is that there is a difference between superiors and subordinates, or between bosses and employees.

However, is the relationship between online writers and traditional writers subordinate or boss's employees?

Do online writers earn money out of the pockets of traditional writers?

Seriously, when Wang Shen heard the information fed back by Cheng Lu, he already knew the entanglements in it.

A thousand words, but red eyes, but sour.

With the rapid development of the field of online literature, it has developed to the current scale, and many IP works such as comics, animations, games, film and television, and related derivative works have blossomed in many aspects.

Its influence and popularity are also increasing day by day.

Moreover, these are superficial, and the most important thing is that the income of many well-known writers has also risen.

And this, in the eyes of many traditional literary writers, is an infringement of their interests.

This reason is very simple, the basic plate of the entertainment industry is so big, and there are so many film and television works adapted every year.

In the past, when online literary IP did not rise, traditional literary works could only be selected for adaptation.

Now, with the rise of online literature, coupled with the development of the pan-entertainment industry by capital giants, online literary works have replaced traditional literary works in terms of film and television adaptation.

One era, one imprint.

In today's era, online literature is at the forefront.

In a nutshell.

In the past, the adaptation of film and television works could only be selected in the field of traditional literature.

Now, with the emergence of online literature, there is not only an additional area to choose from, but most of the adapted works are also selected in this area.

In this way, in the eyes of many traditional literary writers, it is an infringement of their interests.

This time, not only are their interests threatened, but they also see many online IP works blossoming in an all-round way, achieving results that many traditional writers cannot achieve except for a few traditional writers.

As a result, there is a psychological imbalance, and eye redness and sourness follow.

Of course, this is only a point.

In addition, there are literature classes in the field of traditional literature.

Most of the tutors in the literature class are well-known writers in the traditional literary circle.

At the same time, many of the students who signed up are also master's and doctoral students.

After these students graduated, they saw that many Dashen Internet writers earned tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions, every year.

So, they also started writing about the web.

Who knows, those students who came out of the literature class couldn't even sign the initial contract.

That's embarrassing.

Therefore, facing an extremely embarrassing situation.

Write the Internet, you can't sign a contract.

If you write traditional literature, you can't get ahead and make money.

In the end, the literature class spent money to study....

As a result, there are fewer and fewer students in the literature class.

Moreover, let's not talk about the lack of students.

I went to a literature class to finish it.

Writing traditional literary works can't get ahead.

Write the Internet, you can't sign a contract.

This, what is the human sense?

It seems to show that those literary bigwigs are not worthy of their names.

However, to be honest, those bigwigs in the literary world do have real materials in the field of traditional literature.

So, the contradiction comes from this.

Because of the issue of interests, many traditional literary writers will step on online literature in various ways.

It's very simple.

It's just that those traditional literary writers can't make a lot of money like the writers of the Great God Network, and their IP works bloom in many ways and make a lot of money.

is unbalanced in his heart, stepping on online literature, and elevating his identity.

In this way, the clear height and the ratio are loaded.

All in all, it's profit-driven.

......

At the beginning of the ceremony, many stars took the stage one after another to present awards to the actors who starred in IP dramas.

That's right, at the online literature festival, the picture that appeared was a star lottery awarding awards to stars who starred in IP dramas.

Of course, there is nothing wrong with this kind of picture.

After all, this is a grand festival organized by Penguin Literature in order to promote IP, and it is naturally mainly based on promoting IP.

As for the online writers with one vote, they are just pulling over to support the online literary scene to facilitate and better promote IP.

Who is the main and who is secondary, I know it by heart.

The celebrities are more well-known, and many people will watch this evening show, which is for those stars.

Therefore, in order to better promote IP, online writers must only be used as foils.

Under the premise of capital, everything is based on interests, which is a very real problem.

Wang Shen sat in the audience, watching the stars of one vote take the stage and award various awards to other stars.

After a while, the star awards were awarded, and three traditional literary writers took the stage to speak.

These three writers of traditional literature are Tianyu, Ah Xiang, and Menghuo, each of whom is a big man in the field of traditional literature.

And, compared with the scale of today's online literature, compared with the works of these three bigwigs, they are all insignificant.

Each of these three bigwigs has a masterpiece with bright colors.

In the field of traditional literature, this kind of plot writing is called a more straightforward way to show the truth of human nature.

In the field of online literature, the same type of plot is called vulgar and pornographic.

.....

Tianyu, Ah Xiang, and Menghuo walked to the stage, first said hello, and then said with a calm expression: "Although they are all literary creators, some literature is the essence, and some literature is dregs. ”

"Some people represent the youth of literature, some people represent the beauty of literature, and the three of us can only represent the vicissitudes of literature at most. ”

"Represents the protruding disc of the waist. ”

"Whatever it is, some of them are of value, and some of them stink like the footwraps I haven't washed for days. ”

"Some works, their short words, have a transcendent meaning. Some works, with their long word count, can drown people. ”

"Some works, although only about 100,000 words, have been painstakingly figured out by their authors for several years. Some works, in just one year, can be millions of words long. ”

......

Wang Shen sat under the stage and looked towards the area where many online writers were located, and found that many online writers were getting up and leaving.

As the saying goes, mud bodhisattvas have three points of fire.

According to Cheng Lu's feedback, Wang Shen knew that the three on the stage stepped on online literature on stage last year.

I never thought that this year, I would come again.

Faced with this situation, the already low-status network writer can only choose to leave.

It's not that those online writers don't want to look down on life and death, so they do it if they don't accept it.

But the disparity in status is too great, and if he is stepped on, he can only endure it silently.

If you jump out to do it, the three people on the stage will not be affected too much, but the writers who jump out may be cold.

In addition, the status of those three in the literary circle is there, except for the real bigwigs who take the stage to scold back, no one else is qualified to reply.

Even if you are unhappy, you can only endure it.

In the eyes of others, there is nothing wrong with the eloquent words of the three people on the stage, and they are happy.

However, in the eyes of many Internet writers, the yin and yang are weird, looking down on online literature, and stepping on online literature in a different way.

Of course, some online writers don't think so, and they are also happy.

This kind of writer is now also a mixed traditional literary circle.

Although I'm writing about the Internet, I've never looked at the Internet.

The ass decides the head.

Therefore, this kind of online writer very much agrees with the statement of the three bigwigs on stage.

And, as writers who rely on writing on the Internet, they use their own personal experience to support it.

Only writers who used to live at the bottom of society, rely on the Internet, and finally prove themselves, will their positions be different.

This truth is like a situation that appeared in Wang Shen's memory in his previous life.

In the field of online literature in the memory of Wang Shen's previous life, some Internet writers from "noble" backgrounds looked down on Internet writers who worked in factories and finally achieved the honor of gods with their own efforts and strength.

The Internet writers who work in factories are ridiculed in public for not being worthy of dreams, and what they write will only be garbage that no one reads.

Obviously, this situation, whether it is in the memory of Wang Shen's previous life or in this world, exists.

In fact, when it comes to the fundamentals, it is just a "noble" class that looks down on the bottom class.

In short, the noble class is eating watermelon, so in their eyes, the bottom class is not worthy of eating watermelon as them, and they do not have that qualification.

......

Wang Shen sat under the stage and glanced at the many Internet writers who had left the scene.

The departure of these online writers did not affect the performance of the three bigwigs on stage, nor did it affect the progress of the party.

I don't want to admit it, but the truth is so nonexistent.

It doesn't matter if you come or not.

Wang Shen didn't know what others were thinking after listening to these weird remarks, he only knew that he felt that this scene was very familiar.

Once upon a time, he also suffered this kind of treatment in the entertainment industry, and was also sneered at by some "noble" artists.

In short, there are such people everywhere.

At that time, Wang Shen, like many Internet writers in the audience, endured silently.

It's not that he wants to endure it, but he doesn't have the strength to resist.

The reality is so cruel.

......

After a while, the three bigwigs on the stage finished speaking, and then it was finally time to present the Lifetime Achievement Award.

Regarding this honor, Wang Shenhao knew about it in advance, so when the lottery guests read out his name, he did not feel any surprise.

Walking up to the stage, Wang Shen faced the crowd sitting in the audience and smiled slightly: "I should.... You didn't eat some people's rice, did you?"

"I just sat in the audience and wondered for a long time, I, an online writer, make money from my own works, and I earn money from book friends spending money on subscriptions. ”

After Wang Shen finished speaking, he showed a puzzled look, "I didn't eat it, did I? The Internet writers who rely on their works to make money like me haven't eaten it, right?"

"Hmm.... I think it's not the readers of this session, and you can only blame the readers. ”

Wang Shen smiled faintly, and then said: "What's the use of a sour tone? Times are different, and many things will be different." ”

"In the past, mobile phones with buttons were the forefront of the times. ”

"Now, with the rise of smartphones, push-button phones are out of the stage of history. ”

Of course, this metaphor is not appropriate for the field of literature. ”

"An analogy should be drawn to the field of instant messaging. ”

"In the past, when it came to instant messaging apps, it was buttons. ”

"Now, when it comes to this aspect, in addition to buckles, there is also WeChat. ”

"It's all instant messaging software, and it can be used by buckles, and WeChat can also be used. ”

It's just that with the advent of WeChat, the original monopoly buckle is unhappy. ”

"Why isn't it cool?"

"It's not because WeChat has seized their market. ”
