024 Online literature is advancing
After leaving the 21st Century Film Company, Lin Tao and Zhou Ting only stopped in Songping for less than half a day before returning to Donghai City. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
On October 8th, Tunghai University officially resumed the daily teaching schedule, although the school has given Lin Tao as much free class time as possible, but this does not mean that he can be absent from class indefinitely.
The first day ended peacefully.
The students of the University of Tokyo are no longer surprised that Lin Tao appeared in class, in fact, there are still many people who ask Lin Tao for autographs every day, and of course he will not deliberately refuse.
Psychology is not a simple subject.
For Lin Tao, learning psychology is just a hobby, and he has no intention of making any earth-shattering achievements in academics.
The next morning he had no classes.
Before she got up, Zhou Ting had already knocked on the door and walked in with her computer.
Rubbing his somewhat misty eyes.
Lin Tao couldn't help but feel a little pain when he looked at the eye-catching title on the computer.
"When was this post?"
He did wonder why he had said such a thing.
Lin Tao: Online literature should be recognized. ”
"The time shows that it is yesterday's news, but I guess it should be the content that netizens extracted from your words, you see here, Lin Tao believes that literature has a very wide range of meaning, no matter what kind of literary expression it is, it should be recognized.
I don't know what you mean by online literature, but I realize that online literature is also a literary form, whether its carrier is magazines, books or the Internet, but there is no doubt that these works have their own intrinsic significance. ”
Zhou Ting searched for a wealth of information.
not only found out the source of this news, but also found the original text of Lin Tao's related statements.
No doubt.
The news headline reported by the media has the problem of being taken out of context, but the content extracted by the other party is very clever, which not only avoids Lin Tao's characterization of online literature, but also avoids the question of who should recognize online literature, and simply and straightforwardly indicates what they want to express.
After Lin Tao carefully read the entire news content, his heart suddenly became uncomfortable.
The timing of this news is not awkward, but deliberate, and the purpose of the news content is particularly clear.
Justify online literature.
In fact, this topic lasted not for a day or two, but for a very long time, not only in this time and space, but also in another time and space.
Due to the huge differences between online literature and popular literature, as well as in terms of writing mode and content, people have always been criticized, especially some orthodox literary writers, who have always refused to give online literature its due status.
So this also raises a series of questions.
Including the social status of online literature.
Market value.
and its literary nature.
This time, the news appeared just in time for the National Writers Association to hold its latest National Writers' Symposium during the National Day.
The conference did not invite any domestic Internet writers to participate, but this did not exceed Lin Tao's expectations, this kind of national writers' conference, the organizing committee will definitely not let go, once it is loosened, it will be like the Yellow River bursting out of control.
But it is precisely this behavior that has once again caused widespread controversy in China, especially those who entered the Internet for literary creation very early.
"You can find out the notice issued by the National Writers' Association this time and show it to me. ”
Zhou Ting quickly searched on Baidu and found relevant content, pop-up windows, Lin Tao quickly skimmed through it and found the problem.
In this announcement, not only did it not officially recognize the status of online literature, but even made some hard and fast regulations, which can be regarded as completely cutting off the possibility of online literature being corrected.
As representatives of the interests of traditional literature, those traditional literary writers not only did not analyze the positive influence of online literature from the front, but instead counted the existing problems and adverse social impacts from the negative.
So.
On the Internet, it immediately began to set off a wave of scolding.
As for Lin Tao's opinion on this issue, it is naturally not Lin Tao's own remarks, at least not Lin Tao's remarks during the National Day.
Open the forum.
Lin Tao soon discovered that related topics were still noisy on the Internet.
"What is the basis of online literature, why does the Writers' Association not recognize its status. ”
"Vulgar, straightforward, and without literary value, most of the current online literary works show low-level characteristics, and if you want to obtain the corresponding literary status, you should first correct your own problems. ”
"You mean, if you're missing arms and legs, then you're not born to Nima?"
"Upstairs is stupid 13."
"Upstairs collective is 13."
“---”
At the end of the quarrel, some unsightly words inevitably appeared, and Lin Tao closed the forum page almost with some frowns.
"Zhou Ting, do you read online novels?"
"Look, but not much. ”
"Do you know about online literature?"
If you want to talk about the understanding of the current situation and future development of online literature, I am afraid that few people can compare with Lin Tao, but obviously this question does not depend on his attitude.
It's just that Zhou Ting's answer somewhat made him understand the current reality of online literature.
"Understand a little, if you look at the actual situation, I don't agree with the general inclusion of online literature in the general scope of literary and artistic works, after all, the roughness and vulgarity of some works are obvious. ”
Lin Tao nodded, the existence of this problem is indeed very realistic.
Although the scale of online literary works has been greatly reduced due to the influence of relevant national regulations in this time and space, this does not have the characteristics of adapting the essence of online literary works, so the overall quality is still worth scrutinizing.
At present, the most representative online literature platforms in China mainly include "Novel Network", "Love Reading House", "Fantasy Book House", "Yang Fan Reading Network" and "Heaven and Earth Literature", among which the largest and most influential is Heaven and Earth Literature Network.
Founded in 2000, this literary website started as a simple literary forum, attracting a large number of young people to publish their literary works in China at a time when the Internet was developing rapidly.
Moreover, as the domestic martial arts works and youth campus works gradually reached their peak, several founders of the Tiandi Literature Forum suddenly realized that this was a great business opportunity, so they gradually built a website with "free creation" as the soul on the basis of the Literature Forum, which formed the later Tiandi Literature Network.
Presently.
Every year, nearly 10,000 writers register on the Tiandi Literature Network, and the number of works is increasing, and its online literary works account for half or more of the domestic online literary works.
In 2004, the appearance of a number of excellent works represented by "Zhu Xian" on the Tiandi Literature Network completely established its first position in the industry.
In the bedroom.
Lin Tao opened the website of Tiandi Literature and saw that the familiar style of online literature was greeted by him.
In addition to being divided into multiple channels such as fantasy, Xianxia, and military, Tiandi Literature Network has many promotion windows, including readers' collection lists, recommendation lists, and various click lists.
The three most important lists are the annual sales list, the annual author list, and the annual new book list.
Lin Tao almost saw at first sight that the first place in the annual sales list was a work called "Tang Champion Hou", which is a typical historical martial arts text, but the annual sales data has reached more than 300 million heaven and earth coins, which is more than 3 million yuan in RMB, which is indeed a very scary number.
What surprised Lin Tao even more was that the top ten works basically sold more than 100 million yuan, which can also show the great market potential of online literature.
"Have you read a book on this?"
Turning his gaze to look at Zhou Ting, Lin Tao suddenly asked.
"I've seen it, but the page you see is from the main site of heaven and earth literature, you click on this. ”
Zhou Ting pointed to a link on the main page, and after Lin Tao clicked on it, the page quickly changed its style, the website was still the same website, but it switched to the female frequency window.
It's almost the same layout, but the difference is that the data on those lists has been reduced a lot, but even so, it can still be seen that its huge readership and work base.
According to the search, Lin Tao soon found that there were more than 500,000 works on the entire Tiandi Literature Network, and more than 300,000 were completed, and there were 50,000 or 60,000 that are currently being updated, which can be said to be a very large number.
Lin Tao was silent for a long time after reading it.
He still seemed to be thinking about it until after breakfast.
"You said that if I publish a work on the Tiandi Literature Network in the name of Xiaobai, will it have some impact?"
Lin Tao's words made Zhou Ting suddenly stunned.
If you promote it in the form of cooperation, the results will definitely be guaranteed, but if you publish your works online, you will inevitably be criticized. ”
As Lin Tao's personal assistant, Zhou Ting's ideas are more comprehensive.
Lin Tao nodded secretly and did not speak.
Online literature?
Speaking of this, he said proudly, he said that the first will never say the second.
"Zhu Xian"?
If he remembers correctly, in another time and space, "Zhu Xian" is just a pioneering work that created a new genre of Xianxia writing, and its height is far from what it is now.
is a really good online literary work, he has seen more than one "Zhu Xian".
In the Tiandi Literature Editorial Office located on Linhe Avenue in Fuxing Industrial Park, Donghai City.
He Xiao is an ordinary editor of the main station of Tiandi Literature, he has just joined the company for less than a year, before He Xiao actually had the experience of writing online articles, and gradually integrated into this circle and achieved quite good results, so after graduating from university, he went directly to Tiandi Literature to apply as an editor.
As a responsible editor of the History and Military Channel of the main station of Heaven and Earth Literature, he discovered two works this year, "The Strongest Cooking Soldier" and "The Shining Red Star of Rebirth" (give a free advertisement to book friends, you can take a look at the book shortage), and so far, these two works still occupy the top two on the military channel's new book list.
But recently, He Xiao seems to be a little sullen.
Not long ago, the day before the National Day holiday, the editorial department held a meeting and suddenly had a work rotation, and he was assigned to the fantasy type.
As everyone knows.
The most popular classification of Tiandi Literature Network has always been martial arts, history and military and youth campus.
And this time, he happened to be transferred to the fantasy category.
It can be said that this is basically the most popular category of the entire Tiandi Literature Network.
Throughout 2008, there were less than 1,000 new books in the fantasy category, and there were only a few books in these 1000 books that could really hit the list, even if it was in the first place, "God-level Live Pet Master" (product placement, a good book), the results were not very eye-catching, compared to the popular classification of the military, it was mere.
"Xiao He, the editor-in-chief is looking for you. ”
Pooh, the beautiful editor of Xianxia Channel, suddenly called He Xiao out, and it could be seen that Pooh had just come out of the editor-in-chief's office, and his eyes were still a little red.
"Pooh, what's the matter?
"No, no, don't talk nonsense. ”
Although he said so in his mouth, He Xiao is not a fool, and it can naturally be seen that Pooh must have been reprimanded by the editor-in-chief, hey, it's hard to be a brother, the classification of fantasy and fairy tales has always been a laggard, and it is not uncommon to be scolded.
Pushing open the office door of the editor-in-chief Tomato, He Xiao's heartbeat couldn't help but accelerate.
Editor-in-Chief. ”
"Well, He Xiao, the results of the Xuan Fantasy side are still not good recently, the data is too poor, the reason why the editorial department transferred you this time is also because of your excellent results in the military classification, I hope you can bring the Xuan Fantasy with you. ”
"Editor-in-chief, there's a sentence I don't know whether to say or not. ”
The editor-in-chief, Tomato, was stunned.
"You speak. ”
"The genre of fantasy has always been the weakness of our website, but you should know that this is not only our problem, including Novel Network, Love Reading, Fantasy and Yang Fan, they can't do it, the overall environment is not good, and it's not so simple for us to get it.
Tomato nodded, he knew this for sure.
"It's hard for us to change the overall environment, so hopefully you'll just be able to discover one or two good books. ”
"Okay, then I'll do my best. ”
Back in the office, He Xiao suddenly felt that the pressure had increased a lot, but on the other hand, he suddenly felt some impulsiveness in his heart.
He has also written books himself, so he naturally knows how to write online literature, in fact, he has always believed that fantasy and Xianxia are very likely to be the breakthrough of online literature in the future, but now the overall environment is powerless, especially fantasy.
After all, Xianxia has released a book of "Zhu Xian", and the general environment has improved, but it is not optimistic, and Xuanxuan is basically nothing.
So the job is not that easy to do.
As always.
Turn on the computer and log in to the editor's mailbox named "Eraser", He Xiao began to check the submission situation, and suddenly an email name named "Xiaobai" made his heart jump suddenly.
(Recommend Xiaobai's new book: "Hunting the World", which is in the comprehensive list, asking for everyone's support.) (To be continued.) )
