If you like a writer, give him a "tip". Some fans are generous with their idols, and they are rewarded with millions of dollars. In fact, "tipping" is becoming an important source of income for writers. However, under the heavy reward, the writer's creation is inevitably affected by a few die-hard fans, and "rewarding literature" is worried about becoming "literature of a few". The reporter conducted an investigation and interview.

"Tipping" has become an important source of income for writers.

Recently, an explosive news brought the "Third Brother of the Tang Family" and "Platinum Earth Shenhao" into the public eye. "The Third Brother of the Tang Family" is a contracted writer of Singularity Chinese.com, and "Platinum Earth Shenhao" is a fan who follows him. One afternoon in mid-May, "Platinum Earth Shenhao" rewarded the "Third Brother of the Tang Family" with 1 million singularity coins without any warning, which was converted into 10,000 yuan. was shocked for a while, because this was the largest reward money that a writer has received in a single transaction since the online novel had a "reward" mechanism.

According to the observation of a reporter from Youth Daily, "rewarding" has become a trend in the online literary world recently. The so-called "reward" is similar to watching a play in the old days - if an artist sings well on stage, the fans will throw silver dollars, rings, etc. on the stage as a reward - once the reader thinks that the writer writes well, in addition to the reading fee, they will also pay a reward, hoping that the writer will continue to work hard.

The following is our interview with the third brother of the Tang family:

The third brother's original words

{Damn!Damn!Damn!Damn!I was just taking a nap, and suddenly a phone call woke me up, saying that the platinum earth god was giving me a reward, I got up and looked, and actually rewarded a whole million singularity coins, which was 10,000 yuan in exchange! I was fucking stunned! The first silver league leader in the online literature circle was born, this is a historic moment! Lao Tzu is excited, update a chapter first, go and call him! Everyone applauds the platinum earth god hao! The kind death is the first work with the silver alliance in the online literature circle!)

And Singularity Chinese Network published a text interview in time:

Interview with Moxi: Today, our Dashen Concentration Camp has invited a special guest, and he is also an author I have been very eager to interview since I took over this show, and today I finally have a chance, now let him come and say hello to us, hello

~

Third Brother of the Tang Family: Hi, everyone, I am the third brother of the Tang Family

Interview with Moxi: The third brother of the Tang family, an author who is very famous in our entire online literature industry, and an author I personally like very much, finally has the opportunity to interview you today (smiled shyly). Now that this is your first time as a guest on the radio, how do you feel?

Third Brother of the Tang Family: (vague) Uh, I'm uh now, I'm still a little uncomfortable...

Interview with Moxi: It's just that I don't show my face and I'm not used to it, right?

The third brother of the Tang family: Uh, it's not, it's that, uh, the first time, the first time (is this the development of the discordant aspect of the network?_?) It's the feeling, the feeling, the first time it feels a little weird anyway~

Interview with Moxi: It's okay, just wait for a while, just get used to it! Then I know that you also went to SH some time ago to participate in the press conference of this Grim Reaper's game. How do you feel about adapting your novel into a game?

Third Brother of the Tang Family: I think I'm very happy to be able to adapt the novel into a game, so that the characters in the novel can be shown in the form of a game. After the end of a book, the popularity will slowly increase, and after adapting it into a game, I think it is a very happy thing to be able to maintain this popularity!

Interview with Moxi: Are you going to play this game again?

Third Brother of the Tang Family: Of course I played, and then my book fans often played in it, and sometimes they also pulled me along, and everyone could sometimes find me in the game. But (obscenely) I sometimes don't call the third brother of the Tang family in the game, hehe..... Interview with Moxi: Now can you tell us what you call in the game and in which service area?

Third brother of the Tang family: (shocked) If it doesn't work, it will be cut down!!

Interview with Moxi: (can't help laughing) Hehe...... Do you think it's different from the Grim Reaper game you imagined after playing this game yourself?

Third brother of the Tang family: I think it's very good, the fit is very high. Especially the violence, fantasy, and PK in it fit very well with the characteristics in my novels!

Interview with Moxi: Even I have probably read your book! In my opinion, the protagonist is actually quite violent.... Does this have anything to do with how you behave in reality?

Third Brother of the Tang Family: That's not true, there are many styles of novels! Some are violent and some are not violent. I've written about three books so far, and all of the main characters have similarities and differences, and to be honest, they don't have much to do with my personality.

Q: One of the things that has particularly touched many fans is that your update frequency is very amazing, and there will be four updates in "Beautiful Death" on April 18 alone!

T: Actually, it comes down to love, love of writing, love of my readers.

Q: There are so many readers who love Sanshao's works, and there will be a lot of comments and insights. Do these voices from your readers influence your creation?

T: I read the opinions of my readers, but frankly, I don't think too much about other voices, I create a world that is constantly based on the opinions around me, and the world will only be full of holes.

Each author must have a very strong sense of subjectivity, so that he can make the world pillar of his creation.

Q: The following is an explanation of the third brother's reward of millions of singularity coins to the platinum earth god!

T: This shows that the online article is promising!"The Internet seems to have no threshold, but after entering, I found that the threshold is actually very high. At the same time, he acknowledges that "the Internet offers endless possibilities and is a place where miracles can be created."

Q: What do you think of online literature?

"This is the digital age, and profound changes have taken place from input to storage to dissemination. The Internet will inevitably have a profound impact on the entire literary form. ”

However, as an online writer, I also believe that "online novels are contemporary expressions of traditional Chinese novels, and Chinese aesthetics are more clearly reflected in online literary works". "Listening to stories is human instinct, and in primitive societies, humans had to listen to stories when they lived in caves. No matter how society develops in the future, the instinct to listen to stories will not change, only the form. ”
