"Everyone spoke freely. ”

314 stopped talking, waiting for the other editors to speak.

"Editor-in-chief, I think the biggest feature of the villain's work is white, which is what we call Xiaobai. It used to be a bad word and a symbol of a bad novel. But now it seems that what Xiaobai represents is simple and easy to understand. In terms of reading experience, he may surpass the more serious literature. ”

Level 1 Editor-in-Chief is the first to speak.

Subsequently, in the office, a group of editors put forward their own opinions.

"I think badass novels have a more sense of substitution than ordinary novels, and this sense of substitution has nothing to do with plot design, it is purely caused by the popularization of words, and people will naturally be recognized when they see this genre. ”

The second group of editors in charge said.

I also agree with this point of view, the small whitening of the text not only increases the reading experience, but also increases the sense of substitution in the novel. And we know that the sense of substitution has always played an important role in online novels. Otherwise, if a novel does this, then at least this novel will not flutter. ”

Aoyama, the editor in charge of the four groups, also said.

"I think the Badass novel caters to the needs of the market, and I specifically surveyed the people who read the Badass novel, most of whom are under the age of 25. This fully proves that the audience of the bad guy novel is younger than the average online literature. A novel of the little white category also meets the reading needs of this age group. ”

The editor of the fifth group said, "By the way, in addition to the audience age analysis of the bad guys, I also took a look at the audience education of the bad guys. More than 90% of them have a bachelor's degree or less. This is also the same as the current Internet access crowd is so large, so as soon as the bad guy came out, although we all thought it was not good at the beginning, his audience has laid the foundation for the explosion of this novel. ”

"I agree with that. We started with a lot of similar situations, but the opposite of the badass thing. I have a few writers who are very good and very skilled, and we have always thought that there is a lot of potential. It was also pushed a few times, but in the end it was not pushed out. Now that I think about it, it's also because of the audience. The audience of these authors is generally older, and the older readers are generally less than the entire Internet Internet population, so no matter how good his writing is, it can only be classified as a minority. ”

Six groups of editors, Jelly Bean, expressed support for this view.

For more than half an hour, the editors had already expressed their views.

"Hey, Group 7, Wuyue, everyone said it, why don't you say it. ”

In the end, 314 set his sights on the 7 groups of responsible editors of Wuyue.

"You signed the book Badass. If you hadn't signed this work, the bad guy would have been buried with a good chance of it. Speaking of which, I have to compliment you too, this time you have made a contribution to the starting point. ”

314 is very optimistic about Wuyue, he thinks this young man is good, although he didn't see any characteristics before entering the company. But after observing for a while, he found that Wuyue was working hard. Basically, the list works of each issue of the starting point, Wuyue will sweep it through. You know, as an editor. He was exposed to enough novels every day that he couldn't have had time to read other works. Even if I had time, I guess I wouldn't want to see it. However, Wuyue still insists on sweeping the list every issue.

Eventually, the persistence paid off. A lot of reading has made Wuyue's unique vision, and this villain book is the best proof of this.

"Editor-in-chief, because I'm not ready. ”

"Not ready?"

314 was a little surprised, "Wuyue, are you already doing research? Besides, it seems that you already have some experience. Say, first tell what you've studied. After all, you're the editor in charge of signing the bad guys, and your experience is worth researching. ”

"Okay, I'll start with how to sign this work. ”

Wuyue nodded and began to speak.

"At that time, when the work of Badass reached 30,000 words, I was ready to review this work backstage. At first, I also felt that this novel was written very little, and I even wanted to give up. However, resisting the urge to abandon the book, I continued to read it. Slowly, after reading about ten chapters, I realized that I had completely immersed myself in the world of this novel. Even though I'm the editor of the badass book, I'm still chasing the book every day, just like any other reader.

Besides, I don't pay much attention to the writing of Badass anymore, and he doesn't care too much about his writing. On the contrary, after reading the bad guys, I felt a little tired and even uncomfortable when I read other slightly serious novels.

I've been in contact with the author of the badass world. At that time, this novel was not as popular as it is now, but I found that the world's first white seemed to be very confident. Including, as can be seen from his pen name, it is not that he can't write those serious novels with brilliant writing, he is deliberately writing white.

"Well, go on. ”

314 also nodded, and he also noticed this.

It's not just 314, I'm afraid a lot of editors and authors have found out.

That sentence that the world deceives me, that one of the men's lines, do you think the author who can write such a quatrain, he can only write Xiaobaiwen?

"So, after chatting with the world's No. 1 white, I consciously studied the novel of the bad guy. I think that from the perspective of our history, Chinese literature, from the poetry of the Warring States Period, the prose of the pre-Qin Dynasty, the literature of the Wei and Jin dynasties, to the poetry of the Tang and Song dynasties, and even the novels of the Ming and Qing dynasties, is actually a history from serious to popular literature. In this regard, the vernacular literature proposed during the Ming period pushed popular literature into the mainstream. Until modern times, we have refined the vernacular from the original Republic of China period to half white and half literate. To this day's online literature, most of the authors' writing styles are still biased towards traditional writing, which is the half-white and half-literary just said.

Many authors believe that half-white and half-literary is the most in line with modern aesthetics, and it is also more meaningful.

But, is that really the case?

I don't think so.

Admittedly, the style of half-white and half-text does read smoothly and has more charm at some times, but for the modern public, sometimes half-white and half-text can also affect reading. Moreover, when it comes to artistic conception, do the works of modern traditional writers have the artistic conception of Tang and Song poems? Obviously, no, why are we not popular with Tang poetry and Song poetry and Yuanqu, nor are we popular with the ancient vernacular of Ming and Qing novels?

In fact, these styles are no longer in line with the tastes of our modern people.

In other words, there is actually some obsolescence in this literature.

Or it can't be called outdated, he is actually very classic, but it is not suitable for large-scale promotion. ”

"So, Wuyue, do you think it is possible that Xiaobaiwen will become mainstream in the future, or even replace today's serious writing style?"

"I'm not sure there's a big difference between traditional writing and online writing, and I'm not sure if Xiaobaiwen can cater to these physical readers. But online literature is different. The Internet itself is a more relaxed, freer, and younger platform, and Xiaobaiwen is very in line with the nature of the Internet platform. I think that in the area of online literature, Xiaobaiwen will have a larger market in the future. Even, in the future, more authors will join the trend of Xiaobaiwen writing. Moreover, this trend will influence the direction of online literature writing in the future. ”

Yang Yang shook off, and Wuyue's last sentence pointed out his point of view.

And this point of view bears a striking resemblance to the idea of Editor-in-Chief 314.

"It seems that Wuyue's research on Xiaobaiwen is more profound than everyone else's. ”

At this point in the meeting, 314 seemed excited.

Whether they can surpass Lian Heng and Phantom Moon in the future depends on whether they can use this wave of Xiaobaiwen trend for their own use.

It's just that just when 314 was about to discuss with the editors about the future guidance of Xiaobaiwen's type works, Bao Jianfeng, the founder of Starting Point Chinese, hurriedly broke into the office, "Yang Chen, the meeting is suspended, follow me to meet the leaders of the State Administration of Press and Publication, there is ** annoyance." ”

PS: Can you guess what kind of annoyance this is?
