Chapter 503: A Ten-Year Inventory of Online Literature
The Internet Literature Lovers Association is now a large and medium-sized school club with seventy or eighty members, there are more than ten contracted writers in it, and there are seven or eight people with income on the shelves, most of them are under the starting point, after the new book was put on the shelves last month, the club got a group of members' manuscript fee feedback, which made the club have a lot of funds at once, and there have been a lot of activities this month, and recently the members of the association are busy voting.
At the end of last month, under the guidance of the China Writers Association, the ten-year review activity of online literature jointly organized by the Chinese "Online's Digital Station" and "Selected Novels" has been ten years since Cai Zhiheng's "First Close Contact", and in ten years, online writers have been surging, and online works have become spectacular, and this literary scene built in the virtual world has become a force to be reckoned with in our lives, and will continue to grow.
On October 29, the event kicked off at the Museum of Modern Chinese Literature, with the participation of more than 20 traditional literary journals and magazines such as People's Literature, Harvest and Contemporary. The activity uses the Internet as a platform to conduct a primary selection of online literary works in the past ten years through the method of netizen audition and voting, and then submit them to the review team for review and comment.
The event received enthusiastic responses from many original literary websites, with more than 20 original websites participating in the event: Qiqi Chinese.com, Fantasy 'Sword Book' League, Digital Station, Tianya Forum, Jin 'Jiang' Literature City, Long' Kong, Xi' Ancestral Hutong, Cui 'Wei' Ju, Zhu' Lang, Xiao 'Xiang', and April ...... They have actively participated, including almost all the well-known original websites in the field of "online literature".
It's still the audition stage, and every netizen and online literature lover can recommend their favorite online novels, although the final list of popular works and excellent works will be determined by professional review experts and senior editors, but the works with the highest ranking in the primary selection will definitely be easier for editors to remember, so Tong Yan Wuji's fans have taken action. Even members of the Association of Online Literature Lovers are voting for him.
"Emperor Immortal" has not diminished, so the ranking was very high at the beginning, but because it was an inventory of ten years, those classic "The Legend of Wukong" and "The Boy Here" for many years have been killed, and Tong Yan also found that the works of the Yanyu Jiangnan and the drunkards of the digital station system are very high, and then think of the traditional literary editors who make the final judgment. So Tong Yan didn't have much hope, but he still felt warm when he saw Jing Yan's expression of showing off to him and asking for praise after voting.
At noon that day, after Tong Yan sent Jingyan back to the dormitory, he met Ma Zhen, who he hadn't seen for a long time, and immediately invited him to sit in their bedroom. He is unlikely to help Tong Yan do that kind of thing.
Ma Zhen is now a junior, and he has basically stepped down from the work of the Reasoning Association, which makes him a little regretful that in his tenure, the Reasoning Association has not really grown, but has cultivated him into a suspense writer, which is an unexpected joy.
Sitting down in dormitory 211, Ma Zhen greeted Tong Yan's classmates in the dormitory familiarly, and then talked to Tong Yan about the movie. The story he wrote about the broken corpse case of Jinling University was recommended by Diao Yinan to director Liu Struggle, and director Liu Struggle, who has always had a heavy taste, also liked this story. After contacting Ma Zhen, I bought his story idea, but there has been no movement now.
"I thought I would be able to see this movie soon, but I didn't expect there to be no movement in the back." Ma Zhen complained.
Tong Yan was relieved: "The review of movies like this type is relatively strict, coupled with the niche style, it is not so easy to return to the original. It is not so easy to get funds to set up a project, although the mainland film market is developing rapidly, it is far from reaching its peak, and the one I and Director Diao is not moving. ”
Ma Zhen said hatefully: "If I have money, I will invest in it myself." I have to shoot it at a loss, it's all my own hard work! ”
"I also have this idea, but Director Diao didn't ask me to invest, otherwise I would definitely invest, maybe there are difficulties elsewhere, we don't know much about movies after all, and we don't know what conditions a movie needs to be on the big screen," Tong Yan sighed, "By the way, what are you busy with now, and what stories are you writing?" ”
Tong Yan writes online novels is something that many people know, but there is such a writer as Ma Zhen in school, but few people know it, since the first successful publication of an article in the magazine, Ma Zhen can't stop, and since then he has liked to write stories, and the real cases he knows, through artistic processing, into a short story.
"Over the past year or so, I have written a lot of articles, some of which have been published and earned some manuscript fees, but more of them have not been published, so I posted them on the Internet, and I can barely be regarded as an online writer." Ma Zhen smiled and pointed at Tong Yan, meaning, they are also considered peers.
"Online? What web? ”
"Tianya Forum," Ma Zhen said with great interest, "I already have a large number of hardcore readers there, don't say it, writing on the Internet is good, I can communicate directly with readers and improve my work." ”
"Tianya is indeed a good land, how many million-level bestsellers have come out of Tianya, maybe you can become a best-selling author in the future." Tong Yan said with a smile.
Ma Zhen waved his hand: "Pull it down, the articles I published are often criticized for poor writing, pale language, poor story logic, and the authenticity of the story, and the description of criminal psychology are more plus, oh, by the way, a friend I met in Tianya, called Spider, he published a book, what is it called, oh, by the way, "The Complete Book of Sin", which makes me envious." ”
Ma Zhen did not hide his envy at all, "It's a pity that I can't write a long novel, there are still so many problems when the space is not much, there are many words, and there are many problems." ”
Cha Zai'an interjected: "You have to ask Tong Dashen for advice in this regard, he is good at writing long stories, two or three million words is not a problem." ”
"The one I wrote is called Shuangwen, upgrading Shuangwen, which is different from Lao Ma's situation, suspense novels, in my opinion, short and short, long and long, but it can't be said that long stories are more difficult to write than short ones, such as "Sherlock Holmes", except for those four long stories, it is basically a super long novel composed of short stories, and there is not much correlation between them. If you write with this line of thinking, stringing together small cases, it's not a long story. ”
After Ma Zhen heard this, he was like an empowerment, "You tell me more details." ”
"Let's say you have four short stories on your hands. Different locations, different characters, each article is only tens of thousands of words, but you can change the main character to one person, so that it is a long story, and the four short stories become the subtitle under the novel, "Tong Yan Dao," if the requirements are not high, the small stories can be completely unrelated. But the smarter way to do it is, of course, to interlock them so that they can be more engaging and the reader will like them more. ”
Ma Zhen listened very carefully, and couldn't wait to write it down in a small book, "Listening to your words is better than reading a book for ten years, I'll try it when I go back, I also have to work hard to publish a book, and I will join the police force in the future." That's a skill, right. When will your new book come out, I'll add some popularity to you when the time comes. ”
"December 1st." Tong Yan replied.
It's already November, and Tong Yan Wuji's new book has not yet been released, and readers are very anxious, but fortunately, there are free emperors and immortals to see every three or five days, not that Tong Yan doesn't want to publish a book. It's just that the website has an arrangement, and since he agreed to the PK with Han Sai, he has no choice but to follow the arrangement.
These days, the new book "Monstrous" has 10 chapters in reserve, which seems to be very slow and very little. But it also reflects Tong Yan's excellence, the beginning has been revised more than a dozen times, sometimes it is a change in the big frame, sometimes it is just some fine-tuning, he wants a concise and powerful beginning, a brilliant beginning, a beginning with laughter and tears, and a beginning that makes readers dive into it and never want to come out again.
Although I don't want to admit it, I must say that Tong Yan is so serious, and it is also the pressure that Han Sai brought him, when Tong Yan was still in elementary school, Han Sai had already published novels and became famous, although he has not done his job over the years, he has opened a blog, racing, and released records, but in the hearts of many young people, he is still the most outstanding writer of the post-80s, and one of the most appealing authors of the younger generation, and such a person PK, Tong Yan has relatively raised more than one grade of requirements for his works, "monstrous" It must not only meet the tastes of online readers, but also be beautiful and witty, even as a published work.
During the days of creating "Monstrous", there was a person who had been with Tong Yan, that was Jing Yan, she was very talented in literature, and the two had a common topic, in addition to giving Tong Yan a hand to modify the text and grammar, she would also make some suggestions on the plot, although most of them are not suitable for the male frequency online writing style, but occasionally there are good ideas, such as the male protagonist has been carrying a cactus, this is Jing Yan's creativity, and it was inspired from "This Killer is Not Too Cold", so the cactus ball "thorn head" became the only friend of the lonely hero.,One person and one ball often have very interesting conversations.,Tong Yan's brain is open.,Behind the arrangement of a not simple origin for the cactus ball thorn head.,The thorn head will also become an important supporting role in online novels as a plant.,This is rare in the online literature world.。
Tong Yan once said to Jing Yan with a smile: "In the future, if people say that I am the monstrous father, then you will be the monstrous sister." ”
"Why not the Mother of the Monstrous?"
"Because I'm your master."
"I'm not convinced, I'll go to the starting point to register a pen name now, and it's called Tong Jing's."
"This pen name is not very good, it is easy for people to mistake it for ......" Tong Yan did not continue.
Jing Yan was puzzled: "What is the misunderstanding?" ”
Tong Jing's? When you have menstrual cramps! After coming to his senses, Jing Yan glanced at Tong Yan fiercely, Tong Yan smiled, he enjoyed Jing Yan's white eyes, who had always been gentle, I don't know when, the two of them could even make this kind of joke casually.
Tian Zini looked out the window while infusion, Ye Qingzhu peeled a banana for her, "Now the chickenpox has improved, it's not so much, it's not so lush." ”
"Can you not use the word luxuriant, thinking about the way I looked a few days ago, I got goosebumps," Tian Zini sighed, "When will it be completely better, it's been almost ten days." She couldn't wait to meet Tong Yan.
"Yes, it's been ten days, your teacher is really good, so many days off have been taken."
"I'm detained on planes and trains now, and the teacher doesn't dare to let me go back, so you're so stupid that you've been with me." Tian Zini glanced at Ye Zi, and now it was a bit hypocritical to say that she was grateful, but she secretly decided in her heart that she must treat this sister well in the future, and she must not do anything to be sorry for her again.
Emperor Immortal Page Tour is making a new round of modifications, and the competition between Duodian fast food and Huohuo hot pot restaurants seems to have died down, and An Lao Er did not use other means as he said, which made Tong Yan can't help but wonder if An Luwei has made any efforts behind his back, in fact, An Lao Er deceived his superiors and subordinates, and reported to him Lao Tzu the news of the breakdown of Wei Wei and Tong Yan's relationship, Old Man An is no longer interested in Duodian.
Wei Tongyang asked Tong Yan if he and An Luwei had a chance to get back together, Tong Yan didn't answer, but he basically couldn't see An Luwei in school, and he didn't know if he was deliberately avoiding himself, this situation really made him unable to see any possibility of getting back together.
On the contrary, the relationship between Tong Yan and Jing Yan is becoming more and more glue-like, and Jing Yan, who is unable to move with crutches, is like a little pitiful, so that Tong Yan can't help but want to take care of her, and they also have a common hobby of literary creation, and they have a very tacit understanding when chatting.
Jing Yan seems to be quiet, like a good child, but the boldness of the literary young woman makes her far more interesting than she looks, even Tong Jing's joke dares to make a joke, recently Shanda Literature held a press conference on the starting point of Han Sai's joining, Jing Yan saw the news, and said bluntly: I used to think Han Sai was very handsome, but with the master, that's it.
Tong Yan criticized: "When you were injured, they asked about you when they called, how could you tell such a hurtful truth!" ”
"Master, I was wrong," Jing Yan obediently accepted the criticism, "By the way, doesn't your website hold a press conference for you?" ”
Not long ago, Han Sai, who bombarded online literature, joined the literary website, and he also wanted to PK with the popular writer Tong Yan Wuji, the two of them will release the book at the same time on December 1, which is announced at the press conference, the focus is still Han Sai, Tong Yan Wuji just brought it up, and the news value of the two is not the same.
Tong Yan shook his head: "After this incident, there will be a lot of mainstream media reports mentioning the starting point of Tong Yan Wuji, and there will be many people who will hear my name for the first time, which is a victory for me. ”
At this moment, Tong Yan said very surely! (To be continued......)
