Chapter 62: The literati are light

Qin Ge sat in his seat, took out his mobile phone and swiped Weibo.

His Weibo followers are not very large, only more than 3,000.

Online writers are like this, no matter how popular the books you write, the fans who follow you can't be compared with those entertainment stars.

First of all, the reader reads your book, and not many people will really be interested in what you look like as an author. And most of the celebrities with a lot of fans on Weibo are handsome guys and beauties with good faces, or they are jokers.

Therefore, Weibo and novels are two completely different user groups.

Qin Ge's Weibo account name is Witch, and he is also idle when he is idle, and he casually posted the first news.

"Thank you for following my Weibo account, I'm a wizard who can do magic."

After posting a news, Qin Ge continued to scroll through Weibo, and he suddenly saw that there was a news item in the hot topic on Weibo.

"Ma Hewei, a writer of traditional literature, said: Internet literature cannot be elegant!"

Qin Ge clicked on this news, read it carefully, and frowned from time to time.

Ma Hewei said: The current society is too impetuous, because with the medium of the Internet, no matter who wants to write, as long as they want to write, they can register an account on the website, then write a novel, and then declare to the outside that they are a fiction writer.

But I want to say that web novels, just fast food novels, don't deserve to be called literature. The threshold for the word literature is very high, and not everyone is qualified to call it that.

Qin Ge was amused when he saw this paragraph, those traditional literary writers in the previous life were also like this, they just looked down on online novels.

But they have to accept the fact that the top writers in online novels have already earned more manuscript fees than traditional literary writers, which is an indisputable fact.

Moreover, among traditional literary writers, there are very, very few authors who can rely on writing books to support their families, while online writers who can earn 3,000 a month are several times or even dozens of times that of traditional literary writers.

Although this group of traditional literary writers does not make as much money as online writers, their social status is far from being comparable to that of online writers. They are jealous and envious of online writers, but they can't change the facts, so they have to use guò in a somewhat shameless way to spread the word to the outside world that online writers are actually a profession that does not enter the stream.

When Qin Ge saw this kind of news, he laughed.

When they say theirs, they won't make online writers earn less because they say a few more words.

Longkong Forum, the news about Ma Hewei has been turned around, and the number of comments on the post has exceeded 200 in an instant.

Eighty percent of the users in the Jianghu page are online writers, and this kind of news will only cause public outrage if it falls in their eyes.

"What's that? What does an online writer not count as a writer? This big tone, the great god in the online writer can earn millions a year, how much money can he make? Yo, I'm still a four-star writer. ”

Traditional literature, like online literature, has a rating system.

Web writers are divided into ten grades, while traditional literature is divided into ten stars.

The standard for a one-star writer in traditional literature is to sell more than 10,000 copies of a single copy, and the general royalty is 6%-8%, according to the printing of 10,000 copies, 20 yuan per volume, which is about 14,000 or 5,000 yuan, which still does not include tax deductions.

Two-star authors have sold more than 50,000 copies.

The three-star writer is 100,000 copies.

Four-star writers are 200,000 copies.

A five-star writer is a million copies.

Six-star authors are three million copies.

Seven Star Writers is five million copies.

Eight Star Writers is 10 million copies.

The nine-star writer is 50 million copies.

Ten Star Writers is 100 million copies.

The path of traditional literary writers is not easy, and there are only a handful of real best-selling authors, and most of them are women.

These are all reasons why traditional literary writers do not have a favorable opinion of online literary writers.

Ninety percent of the users of the Longkong Forum read online novels, and some people may also read traditional literature, but in their eyes, traditional literature is definitely not the mainstream.

And like today's news, many people just take a look at it with the mentality of watching the excitement.

However, no one expected that this matter would not be as slow as the previous few times. The party Ma Hewei reposted the news on Weibo, and also wrote a paragraph: "Internet literature, the cancer of society, the State Administration of Information should take care of it." ”

After this Weibo was posted, many traditional literary writers reposted it, and in just one hour, it was already on Weibo.

More and more people are paying attention to this matter, and it continues to ferment, and by the evening, it has risen to the top of Weibo.

There are more and more posts on the Longkong Forum about this, and the recent popularity of "The Best Child" is that no one pays attention to it.

Internet writers are still silent, but some third, fourth, fourth, and fifth level writers are not calm, and they have begun to speak on their Weibo to counter what traditional literary writers say.

"Using a social tumor to evaluate online literature, this is aimed at, it is taken out of context!"

This Weibo was reposted by many online writers, but the popularity of online writers on Weibo is far less than that of traditional literary writers, and similar microblogs like this were quickly drowned.

Qin Ge looked at the topic that had fermented into a hot event on the Internet, and he was also very angry, this group of traditional literary writers was jealous that online writers earned more than them, and it was really not fair enough to use such a method.

In the Creation World Temple QQ group, the Longkong QQ group, and other author groups, they are all talking about this matter at this time.

"Why are these guys like this? Do you want to be a little cheeky? ”

"It's shameless to call us a cancer."

"Hmph, they're just jealous that we make more money than they do."

"We also went to Weibo to speak up and fight back against them."

"Eh, it's useless to send it, among the online writers, it is the top god, and the Weibo fans are only more than one million, those traditional literary writers, four-star writers have four or five hundred thousand fans, and five-star writers have more than one million fans, I just flipped it and found that many five-star writers have retweeted, and even a few six-star writers have also forwarded."

"Wait, I'll be the editor and talk to me."

"Hey, my editor is looking for me, too."

"The editor spoke in the group."

For a while, all the contracted authors saw the editor's speech in the contracted author group on the website, and the authors above level 4 received private messages from the editor.
