"I write martial arts and romance, but it seems to be a fictional thing, and I don't write about the life of modern people, which is not a masterpiece of realism!" Li Qing said suddenly.

"You're writing fiction too! can be closer to symbolism, it seems to be writing martial arts, but it is actually writing about the present; It seems to be writing about fighting and killing, but it is actually about the struggle of contemporary people. In martial arts, it is the fight of swords, the fight of righteousness, and the fight of connections; In reality, it is the fight of ability, the fight of the background, and the fight of connections! ”

Ding Siyu said: "On this one, many works are not as good as yours!" ”

"Yours are too pessimistic!" Li Qingdao.

"In Donghua, most of those who are collaborators are still in the circle, and their influence is very weak. Even some works that are applauded by critics only reverberate in the circle for a while, and it is difficult for them to reach the ordinary non-professional readership. In this way, the influence of these well-received works is only limited to the attic of the circle, and they are completely unfamiliar to readers from all walks of life in society, not to mention the power of influence! ”

Ding Siyu said: "Every year, the Royal Family Award, the Li Bai Award, etc., most of the winners of these prizes have been recognized by their peers and critics, but they have not been recognized by the majority of readers. I've also seen a lot of works for those awards, some of which are really well written, but some of them are average...... At least not to my liking, and I don't like to watch it either! ”

A lot of pure, too pure, pure away from the reader.

"Then you and I join the Writers' Association, or not?" Li Qing asked.

"Many writers, when they have not joined the system, often have a breath of blood in their hearts, and their writings, prose, are all outstanding; However, once he joined the system, it seemed that his thinking became rigid, and it seemed that it was difficult to write excellent works. ”

Ding Siyu said: "Many literati dream of winning the Royal Prize, but the Royal Award is often given to those writers who have exhausted their talents. There are high and low works written by a writer, there are periods of peak and decline of creation. When some enter the period of creative decline, royal awards will be given to those famous writers, which is an elegy! ”

"Haha!"

Li Qing laughed when he heard this: "That is, at the peak of creation, you can't win awards!" ”

"That's natural, maybe some works, after they are written, will only win awards after a few years, more than ten years, or even a hundred years later, hundreds of years later, they may win awards!" Ding Siyu also explained with a smile: "So, the work did not win the award, congratulations, there is still room for improvement; But if you win an award, then congratulations, you are walking down the paving road. ”

"Prize, it's a consolation prize!" Li Qing stopped smiling and said, "Understood!" ”

"Every circle is xenophobic, and there is a serious rejection of the existence outside the circle. And the writers' association is also a circle, and it is also exclusive. And you can be invited by the writers' association, not because the writers' association has recognized your work, but because the readers have recognized your work, which has led to the writers' association recognizing your work! Ding Siyu said: "Pure, no matter how pure it is, it is still necessary to dress and eat!" ”

"Got it!"

Li Qingdao, some things don't have to be too clear, that is, they understand each other.

He writes about martial arts, not tradition, and in the eyes of tradition, it belongs to heresy;

He was born in the Department of Finance, has not undergone systematic training, is not from the Chinese language, nor is he from a screenwriter, he is not born in a professional class, and he is an outlier.

Heresy and heterogeneity led to his rejection by the mainstream, and according to reason, it is impossible to be accepted by the tradition, it is impossible to be accepted by the Writers' Association, and even if it is accepted, it will take a long time.

It's just that Donghua's economic crisis continues, but his continues to be hot, there may be many reasons, but readers accept it, readers like it, and that's enough.

It's not for yourself, not to be recognized by peers, but also to be recognized by readers.

The recognition of readers is more important than the recognition of peers and critics.

Therefore, it is inevitable that he will be absorbed into the system, which can be regarded as expanding his influence among readers!

…………

Back at home, Li Qing began to write and wrote back:

I am very happy and very scared to be invited by the Writers' Association. But it's more of a panic, a panic that doesn't live up to the name.

I've written a few books, which are very popular and make a lot of money, but I've always been a writer, not a writer.

Writers, who just write some words, cater to the tastes of readers, and make some money; Writers, on the other hand, write reality, reflect the pulse of the times, and reflect the veins of reality, which may not make money, but write meaningfully.

Writers, accustomed to imitating some of everyone's works, may write wonderfully, but they always have no own characteristics and have not gone out of their own way; And the writer has stepped out of the barriers of those people and walked out of his own way.

Writers, articles written, no gas, just the walking dead; And the articles written by writers still have a temperament and are living people.

I made a lot of money and was welcomed by some readers, but unfortunately, I have never walked out of my own way, I am just a writer, and I am not qualified to join the writers' association for the time being. while

I have written the moment when I reflect the pulse of the times, reflect the pattern of reality, and transform from a writer to a writer, I will apply to join the Donghua Writers Association! ”

After reading it, Li Qing corrected the typos in the content, and then cleaned it up.

Three days later, Li Qing met the beautiful boss and sent this letter, which can be regarded as a letter of resignation.

"Refusal......" Lilac looked at the letter and said, "That's the reason for your refusal, it's a pity!" ”

If you join the Writers' Association, you will have a lot of good treatment, but it's a pity that Li Qing refused, it's a pity!

"This is only part of the reason for refusal, some reasons, not written down......" Li Qingdao: "I like money, I like writing, but I don't like to be lively, I don't like to be famous, this pen club, that forum, I don't like to go to most of them, just because it's noisy and boring; And I don't like to be famous, it's good to be quiet and quiet, but it's not good to be famous, people are afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of being strong, pigs will be slaughtered when they are strong, and people are famous, there is no good end! ”

"I like Tao Yuanming, that simple life, simple life, it's too complicated to play!"

"Your life is too boring, writing, eating, sleeping, not going to bars, not playing games, not making some friends, not even women don't sleep, you are simply a monk life!" Lilac commented: "It's boring! ”
