Chapter 112: Literary Battle

The article mentions that since the first intimate book came out, the Internet has developed in various aspects.

It's just that from 98 years to the present, due to the difficulties in the operation of online websites, many authors have not been able to make profits, so the entire online market has not been able to get the attention of the public. If it weren't for the ethereal journey, this network, which had been quietly in a corner of the earth, might have been stillborn. Since then, many online novels have rushed out of the Internet and achieved good results in the physical market.

Yet, even so.

The development of the Internet to the present, it is only through the Internet as a carrier, and the final way is still paper publishing. Moreover, not everyone will be able to succeed in this publication. First, it requires a certain amount of writing, and second, it also needs to have a certain reputation on the Internet. Third, there are still many hard surname obstacles at the time of publication. It can be said that compared to so many writers, there are only a few authors who really rely on the Internet to make money.

If the Internet continues to develop in this way, even with the increase in the number of Internet users, the development of this circle will not be large. Because, in this industry, he does not have a way to make sustainable profits. Relying only on the old path of publishing can only become more and more difficult.

Recently, the reporter of Yangcheng Evening News came to the most popular Internet website in China - Qiqi Chinese Network.

The purpose of this interview is to thoroughly understand the online VIP payment system recently launched by the website. It is said that the sales model of the website is to hang the novels created by online authors on the VIP sales platform at a price of 2 cents per thousand words for netizens to read.

Judging by this pattern, it seems that the network has found a new way out. Among the first 50 authors on the shelves, some of them have officially embarked on the road of professional writers.

For this reason, quite a number of real-life commentators have issued comments in various media, saying that they are ruining the text on the Internet, and hope that the relevant departments will rectify it. Moreover, these critics have also found a lot of evidence for their own comments. For example, some novels have no standard of words, and the three views are not correct. In addition, in the novel, there is a strong sense of hatred of the world, and all personal thoughts are poured into the book, so that some readers indirectly accept their views.

The statements of these critics are supported by many realistic writers. They believe that the work is noble and not accessible to those who are online authors. They emphasized that the works created by the authors should bring the meaning of education to the world. Nowadays, most of the online works seem to be only for entertainment. Even the ethereal journey of the novels that are now popular is mostly just for entertainment.

In response to these views, the reporter interviewed Bao Jianfeng, the webmaster of the starting point Chinese network.

"Hello, Stationmaster Yang. Recently, we have seen that the VIP payment system launched by your site has achieved good results in recent days, and a small number of authors have changed careers to become professional writers. Do you think this model can continue to evolve? Or, will new patterns emerge? ”

"Whether there will be a new model, we don't know for the time being. But for the VIP payment system, I think, it is in line with the development of the current network. After all, this model has completely gotten rid of the road of relying on publication to get manuscript fees. It is believed that with the development of the network, it may be possible to go hand in hand with physical publishing while VIP payment in the future.

Correspondingly, at that time, the author's benefits will be even greater. It's not just subscriptions on the Internet, some of the writing is better, and you can go in the direction of physical publishing again. In other words, our model not only absorbs the original publishing system. It also opens up a new path for the real network.

After all, serialization on the Internet is more convenient for readers to read, and it also reduces the complicated publishing process. Whether readers like it or not, they will already know when they write it and post it on the Internet, and it won't take much time.

If you have achieved good results in the online market. I believe that it can also be in the physical market, and there will be certain achievements. For this reason, we are more determined that we must do a good job in online VIP payment, which is the basis of our survival. Without this, it is basically useless to say anything else. Because, as long as your book is good enough, readers will willingly spend money to subscribe. This is basically the same as buying books in reality, but the way it works is different. ”

For the VIP payment system, Bao Jianfeng is still happy to explain to everyone.

In this way, Mr. Yang is very confident in the VIP payment model. It's just that the model opened up by your website seems to be being opposed by some realistic critics, and even among them, there are some popular writers in reality. They believe that most of today's online novels have little value. What does Stationmaster Yang think about this point of view? ”

"First of all, I don't agree with some critics in reality. I think the reason why they look at the Internet this way is because they don't have a deep understanding of the Internet. It is true that the convenience of the Internet has also set the threshold for writing novels very low. As a result, there are some authors whose writing is really incomparable with some writers.

But, I think.

The work belongs to the public, and if the work is only arranged by the writer, it is a cup.

And our starting point Chinese network is to give everyone an extremely easy platform to create novels, in order to fulfill their dreams. It is precisely because of the low threshold of our network that we have discovered some amazing talents in the process. Not to mention the ethereal journey of Zhenghong, it is where the author of Wukong Biography is now. If he didn't have an online platform, he probably wouldn't have thought of creating a story in his mind. After all, in reality, it is many times more difficult to create a novel than it is on a website. That's why I don't agree with these experts. ”

Although Bao Jianfeng spoke very calmly, the words he said were sonorous. In particular, if the work is only arranged by the writer, it is a cup.

Yes, it belongs to everyone, not to a certain group of writers. Although these writers have a higher level of creativity than many people, what right do they have to deprive the public of their hobby of creation?

In a word, you can shame all realistic writers.

We web writers may not be as good as real writers in many places. However, the dreams in our hearts are no lower than yours. The story in our hearts is no worse than yours. Could it be that we should also deprive ourselves of the opportunity to perfectly express the stories that have been written in our hearts?

It's really bearable, but it's unbearable.

As the webmaster of the starting point Chinese network, Bao Jianfeng fought back well in this interview.

If real-life writers continue to dwell on this issue, it will provoke public outrage. After all, the work is popular, he does not belong to anyone or any institution, everyone can create.

Even a large number of readers who read novels have dreams of writing in their hearts, why do you want to point fingers on the sidelines, it's easy for us to write a novel.
