Chapter 1055
It's not so easy to hold an annual global event.
After all, this is different from the Qidian Literature Annual Conference in China, because in China, after all, they are all the same country, but here, it includes the whole world.
Round-trip airfare alone is not a small amount.
For the majority of writers, especially online writers, they are all proud to be able to participate in the annual ceremony of Qidian Global Writers.
Because it means that their identity is recognized, which in itself is a kind of recognition.
Moreover, this time the global annual ceremony is no longer a petty fight, and in the past, Qidian wanted to hold a limited influence, but now it is different.
Qidian not only has the world-famous Mr. X, but also a group of new best-selling authors excavated from the Qidian literature section, as well as a series of Internet gods who have made their fortunes completely by Qidian.
Of course, this annual ceremony of global online writers also includes online writers from China.
For the Internet writers of China, even the gods, this is also an extremely glorious thing.
Don't look at the many Internet gods in China who have high incomes, but in fact, their popularity is limited to domestic, and this time it is global.
At the beginning, Qidian also considered holding this event in China, but in the end, it chose North America, which is also due to many considerations.
After all, since Qidian Literature International Station has a global signboard and is mainly in Europe and the United States, it is a little inappropriate for the first session to be placed in China.
After the news was announced, the topic on the Internet has not stopped.
The writers' circle is also very lively, and unlike the humility and low-key of Chinese people, foreigners, especially Westerners, are more direct in this regard.
When the invitation letter of Qidian Literature International Station was issued, countless writers who received the invitation letter posted their invitations in the social circle of Qidian Literature International Station.
Naturally, these people suddenly became the object of envy and hatred of other writers who did not receive invitations.
However, it also shows from another aspect that their identities have been recognized, and they are not accepted by the mainstream circle as before.
The annual ceremony of Qidian Global Writers has been called the Oscar of online literature by overseas media.
Even the media in many countries have reported on which writers in their own countries have received invitations and so on.
It's a bit ironic to say that in China, even if the income of those Internet gods has exceeded that of some traditional writers, in fact, in terms of recognition, it is far from being comparable with foreign countries.
But foreign countries are different, although they didn't look at online literature so much at first, but with a series of Mr. X, beautiful girl writer Yulia, etc. became popular around the world, Qidian Literature International Station suddenly became a fragrant and gluttonous platform.
In fact, there are many reasons, for China, the emergence of online literature can be said to have had a great impact on the already declining physical publishing industry, and the impact on traditional writers is even more fatal. Therefore, traditional writers only have a little sense of superiority, so they are hostile to online writers and look down on online writers, which is also a very important reason.
However, the market environment in foreign countries is different, and the rise of online literature may actually have an impact on traditional best-selling authors, but it is definitely not fatal, and in fact, the income of best-selling authors has not decreased much because of this.
So they may ignore it, but they won't be hostile.
And more often than not, they are street writers, but how can they be hostile to Qidian Literature International Station, that is their only hope after being rejected by the publisher.
Even if they can't stand out in the end, at least, they will have a chance to show their work.
For this annual ceremony of global writers, the media in China also did not attach so much importance to online literature at the beginning, and suddenly increased the attention of several levels.
On the one hand, it is true that literature is an enterprise of China, and on the other hand, it has to be said that this is a level of problem.
Let's take celebrities as an example, Chinese stars and international superstars themselves are a big gap.
This is also why so many celebrities want to participate in foreign blockbusters in every possible way, but in fact, they are just for gilding.
This time, not only many well-known signed writers from Qidian were invited, but also many best-selling authors who have cooperated with Qidian, as well as some senior executives and stars of film and television companies.
In fact, if it weren't for Mr. X's aura that covered everything else, in fact, the development of Qidian literature in the past two years is also remarkable.
For example, in terms of film and television copyright development, through Qidian Literature International Station, it has connected or matched the film and television adaptation copyrights of more than 100 works, game adaptation copyrights, and so on.
The total amount involved is more than 500 million US dollars, and many of them are excellent.
At the same time, the total number of signed writers in the world has also exceeded 10 million, although among these writers, there are good and bad, but at least, Qidian Literature has already grown into a company with great influence.
In two years, the market value of Qidian Literature has increased more than ten times, which can be said to be an out-and-out business miracle in itself.
At the same time, for Chinese writers, in two years, under the vigorous promotion of Qidian Literature, the works of Chinese online writers have also gone abroad, and the total amount of remuneration issued through overseas channels has exceeded 100 million US dollars.
The domestic media joked that Hollywood relies on movies to export the mainstream values of North America all over the world, while Qidian Literature relies on online literature to export Chinese culture all over the world, although many people scoff at this statement, because they don't think that online literature can export any Chinese culture.
But this point of view has been widely recognized in the eyes of the public, not to mention that other "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang" is very popular abroad, and sells well overseas, and has been translated into many Chinese, this is the first time that the martial arts of China has such an influence.
The curtain was opened on the first annual ceremony of global writers.
Although walking the red carpet is not as good as an award ceremony such as the Oscars, it should not be underestimated.
Although writers are not as familiar to the audience as celebrities, famous writers are exceptions.
Early outside the venue, there were already fans from all over the world holding signs aloft and waiting for the arrival of their idols.
In particular, Mr. X is a fan of the majority, and there are many book fans holding up a sign with a big X letter everywhere, and although it has been confirmed that Mr. X will not appear, they still support Mr. X in this way.
