Chapter 429: Signing 100 Top Traditional Writers

He paused, and then added: "Besides, I don't plan to make too much money on this website, I just want to find a way out for our serious literature in China, that's all!"

Hearing Zheng Zhefan say this, Li Zelin was very moved.

"Zhefan, it's rare for you to have such a pure heart!" Li Zelin said.

"Chairman Li, I'm not that noble, I just want to do something that I think is more meaningful. Zheng Zhefan laughed.

Li Zelin looked at the several vice chairmen around him.

"Do you think Zhefan's idea is feasible?" asked Li Zelin.

If we can really set up such a website, sign up all the outstanding writers from all over the country, and let them serialize their works on the website, I think it should be able to attract the attention of the people of the whole country at once, and it will be just around the corner to become popular. Zhen Xiaoling said with a smile first.

"It's just that I don't think 2 million a year can buy out the real first-class writers, after all, those super people have a strong market appeal, although the publishing market is sluggish, but their books sell well through online channels such as Dangdang, and every year just the sales of old works in the past can bring them hundreds of thousands or even millions of benefits, and there are many excellent writers who are now changing careers to become screenwriters, and they can get tens of thousands of TV scripts for an episode, and hundreds of thousands of dollars for a TV series. Another vice-chair said.

"The publishing market is going to get worse and worse, which can be seen from the performance of major publishing houses, such as the printing of literary books is getting smaller and smaller, and most of them rely on teaching aids and exercise books to make money. Even if it is a super-first-class master, 2 million is really not a small amount, I think if Mr. Mo Yan is given 2 million per year and asked to write 500,000 words, he will definitely agree. Li Zelin said with a smile, "I also write TV scripts myself, and I can indeed make some money, but I really don't have any sense of accomplishment, and if I have to choose, I'd rather not write TV dramas, or I want to write my own quietly." ”

"Chairman Li's words are very pertinent, 2 million is not a small amount for super-first-class writers, and there are only a few writers who really have strong appeal, and in the current situation, I think their income is also in the process of plummeting. 2 million can definitely sign in to super-first-class writers like Su Tong, Mo Yan, and Jia Pingwa. Another vice chairman echoed Li Zelin's words.

Li Zelin took a deep breath, he was also very excited now.

He felt that if this thing could be done, it would definitely be a big thing that had never been done before, and it would be possible to revitalize serious literature.

It's just that 1 billion yuan is really not a small number.

Zheng Zhefan can't be impulsive, right?

Will he suddenly regret it in two days?

After all, this unprecedented pure literary literary website is a new thing, and no one can say whether it is popular with readers or not. If you do it for a year or two and you can't get off the ground, you will have to pay hundreds of millions......

"Zhefan, have you really decided?" Li Zelin asked Zheng Zhefan.

"Well, it's really decided, Chairman Li, even if you will lose some money, I think it's worth it. Zheng Zhefan said with a smile.

What is the current group of online readers?

Many institutions have done surveys, and the results have found that the vast majority of them are students, migrant workers, etc., and the real high-end white-collar workers and intellectuals read very few online articles.

This literary network planned by myself,Compared with the current homogenization of very serious online literature websites,It's simply a small freshness,Only rely on the attraction of those literary masters,It can also attract many high-quality readers,As long as the serialized works are done,It's absolutely not a problem to do!

In the current market, what is missing is such a high-end web website!

"Okay! If you're really sure, I'll help you get through all kinds of approval procedures, and then I'll start helping you pull people, and it's best to get a copy of your requirements for writers as soon as possible, how about it?" Li Zelin asked.

Zheng Zhefan saw that Li Zelin was worried that he would regret it.

He smiled and said, "Chairman Li, this is good, why don't you make an example and sign a cooperation agreement with me first? After the agreement is signed, I will pay you 2 million in cash immediately!"

"Huh?!Now, you're going to sign a contract with me?" Li Zelin was taken aback.

"Yes, my purpose is simple, to make you realize my determination to do this. Zheng Zhefan said with a smile.

"Understood, Zhefan is asking for a thousand dollars to buy horse bones, haha!" Li Zelin laughed.

"Chairman Li, you are not a horse bone, you are a real Maxima, I appreciate your ability to tell stories, as long as your narration is a little closer to the online text, and increase the ups and downs of the story and the changes in the fate of the characters, I think it will definitely attract the likes of even the novice readers among the online consumers!" Zheng Zhefan said very seriously.

Zheng Zhefan believes that Li Zelin is one of the few serious writers in China who can tell a good story.

"I will listen to your suggestions, Zhefan, since you approve of me, then I will set an example for my colleagues in serious literature in China, and we will let people draw up contracts later, and in the future, I will be your contracted writer. Li Zelin said with a laugh.

Speaking of which, the establishment of the Everybody Literature Network can be regarded as decided.

The news that Zheng Zhefan is going to invest one billion yuan to establish a serious literary network and sign a contract with the best traditional literary writers in China with an annual guaranteed income of 1 million to 2 million quickly spread throughout the New Year's tea party. This made the entire writers who participated in the tea party boil over.

"Is this true?"

"What a big deal!"

"Oh my God!1 million ......"

"I don't know what kind of writer is a famous writer in Zheng Zhefan's concept? How many of us here are qualified?"

"Seriously, it makes me feel moved, 1 million, only requires a minimum of 500,000 words per year, which means less than 2,000 words a day, and I don't think it's difficult to meet this requirement. ”

"What people want is high-quality literature! They need stories to be well told, with ups and downs, and not unconventional, that is, popular writing, right?"

"It's not necessarily all popular, as long as it's written well, I think it's okay, and a style like Yu Hua's will definitely be very popular. ”

"Tsk, how many domestic writers can reach Yu Hua's level?"

The writers were excited, and they were really intrigued.

Most of the professional writers of serious literature do not earn much, and it is good to earn one or two hundred thousand yuan a year.
