Qin Chuan was a little unsure of the reason why Old Man Lei was calling.

He really didn't have time to beat around the bush, and there were still people waiting to eat together.

So he asked directly on the phone: "Mr. Lei, do you have anything else you want to say to me?"

According to the character of the literati in the past, Lei Hao has always hung up the phone, there must be something in his heart, and he wants to open his mouth but doesn't know how to say it.

After being forced to ask by Qin Chuan, Lei Hao sighed leisurely: "Do you know that the Writers' Association is becoming more and more strange now, and it is because we want it to become like this." The first Writers' Rich List was in 2004, when everyone said that the Writers' Association was self-contained, and our contemporary Chinese literature was going to be destroyed, so we wanted to turn the Writers' Association into a writers' union. ”

"So that's the case, Mr. Lei, you really have a long-term vision, and now the Writers Rich List is already a popular and influential cultural list in the country, and it will cause heated discussions from all walks of life every year. ”

Qin Chuan sincerely admired.

The Writers Association has indeed contributed to the operation of the brand of the Writers' Rich List to the point where it has been able to operate to the present!

However, Lei Hao felt a little sad.

"We all know that the outside world cares most about the wealth of the writer, and this method does not measure the actual literary value of the work at all. In order to attract more people to devote themselves to this field, casting a wide net will always catch fish.

Now that the Writers' Association has basically changed to the Writers' Union, I can't be happy at all. The Writers' Rich List has turned into a hype feast. ”

Qin Chuan felt that he had become a tree hole, and began to listen to the old man's chatter.

I guess it's drinking

It's all said in a shallow way.

I don't have a deep friendship with Lei Hao, the editor-in-chief of "Literature and Art Daily", but there are such words.

I couldn't find any reason other than drinking too much.

"Have you seen it, the Writers Rich List is not just a number, it also reflects the situation of our Chinese people. The downturn in the literary market is not a matter of a day or two. It is not difficult to see from the list of rich writers over the years that the influence of our original pure literary works among the public continues to decline. ”

"In the top 10 of the Chinese Writers Rich List, which was first released in 2004, traditional writers of pure literature occupy the majority of the position. In 2014, when the 10th rich list was released, this number dropped to 2, and there is no pure literary writer in the top 10 from last year to this year!"

In this new world, although Chinese culture is constantly spreading around the world and various copyrights are well managed, the aesthetics are actually similar to those on the earth.

The things that people love are all similar.

This is reflected in the sales of books.

Chinese don't even read the literature of their own people, how can they still read foreigners?

Now it is commerce that dominates the mainstream, almost pushing traditional literature into a corner.

"A great man once said that no matter whether it is a black cat or a white cat, it is a good cat if it can catch mice. There is another person who once said, people like it, you don't like it, what's it. Now the disappearance of pure literature is the result of market choice, and we have nothing to do under the tide of the market. ”

Qin Chuan knew that his views might be a little extreme.

But many people who think that traditional literary works should be passed on and developed well, they will ask others to read this genre, and they will ask others to write this kind of work, but they don't read it themselves.

Of course, literature is certainly useful.

But now that readers don't like it, do you want to use coercion to intervene?

Apparently impossible.

"You writers are really good at storytelling and the use of words, but many of your works are actually glossy junk food with little nutritional value. It's very comfortable when you look at it, but it's very empty after you see it. ”

"It's worth it to get a moment of relaxation and relaxation. Now that there is so much social pressure, don't readers be allowed to watch Joyful Fun?"

Qin Chuan really didn't want to go on and on.

If you say too much, I'm afraid you'll offend this big guy.

Before you are completely offended, it is better to take it slowly.

Just when he wanted to hang up the phone.

But there was a plea from there: "You are different from other authors, you are capable of writing original pure literature, and you are capable of saving it! Your previous "Metamorphosis" was well written, and if you can write a long piece of literature, it will definitely reawaken everyone's memory of traditional literature!"

"I'm sorry, I really can't. ”

Even if Qin Chuan had a system in hand, it would be impossible for him to act against the trend, at most delay the decline of traditional literature, and it would be impossible to be a savior!

Under the tide of the times, he doesn't want to be crushed to the ground.

Self-knowledge is very important.

"Well, if you can't do it, then there are no more young writers. ”

Lei Hao's voice sounded a little lonely.

Seeing traditional literature being squeezed into the corner by popular literature, it is difficult for others to understand.

However, Qin Chuan still did not let go.

He may write a work of literary value in the future, but not now, nor because he is entrusted by others, but he really feels that the time has come!

"Teacher Lei, this task is too heavy for me to carry on my shoulders, so you might as well find someone else. There are still people waiting on my side, and we will talk next time we have a chance, goodbye. ”

He actually hung up Lei Hao's phone!

If the literary circle and the traditional writers' circle knew this news, they would definitely put a heavy hat on Qin Chuan and disrespect their predecessors.

But Qin Chuan really didn't want to listen to it anymore.

The influence of traditional literature is getting weaker and weaker, and the quality of the works is the original sin, and there are no works worth passing on.

But popular literature is booming, becoming more and more exciting, and more and more people see and like it.

Of course, the gap will get bigger and bigger.

It's not that readers don't read traditional literature, in fact, those classics are constantly printed every year.

Their cumulative sales are already an astronomical figure.

Maybe two generations of father and son, or even three generations of grandparents and grandchildren, have seen the same work!

If traditional literature can produce excellent works, it will obviously be able to stop the decline.

Qin Chuan didn't want to let himself be the savior, that would crush him, and now it would be very good to be a happy codeword migrant worker, like a worker bee to carry the earth's excellent works in a steady stream.

"It looks like something is serious" Chen Yuwei broke the silence of the room, she wanted to know what was going on, but she didn't know if the other party was willing to talk about it.

Qin Chuan smiled bitterly and said, "This old gentleman wants me to write traditional literature to revitalize this genre. ”

He knew that Chen Yuwei wouldn't talk nonsense to others, so he chose to talk about something.

"Isn't traditional literature a fire pit?"

Chen Yuwei actually felt a sense of righteous indignation.

"yes, so I just refused. In fact, it can also be a little tactful, hoping that it does not offend people. ”

Qin Chuan hung up the phone just now, he was indeed a little impulsive, who made Lei Hao look down on all types of works on the current writer's rich list.

Why do we have to go against the masses?
