Chapter 68: Lobbying
After brewing for so long, Chen Feng finally mentioned his plan again, and this time, the right time, place and people are all good.
Invite "Jianghu Ke" to settle in the novel forum section, and open some articles to the section.
When Bai Ming first heard such a suggestion, he only thought it was Chen Feng's move to look for resources in order to develop his own novel forum section.
This kind of thing is not uncommon in the martial arts novel circle with physical books as the main carrier, and many "masterpieces" will be bought by "literary websites" for online distribution rights at a high price and serialized on websites.
It's just that the positioning of online texts and physical books is quite different, online texts belong to real-time updates, tend to be fast food, and at the same time, they are rich in imagination, but they are a little less logical and rigorous, and their artistry is much worse; While striving to pursue the quality of the book, the output is greatly reduced, and too much carving is easy to make the book lose the aura of uncertainty.
Therefore, the effect of physical books serialized on the Internet gives people a very general feeling, and in recent years, the behavior of "literary websites" to acquire "masterpieces" at high prices has become less and less.
Bai Ming originally thought that Chen Feng was going to buy the online distribution rights of some articles from "Jianghu Ke" and fill the novel forum section, for the sake of Hong Xie's old classmate's face, he was happy to pick some good articles, and he could also make some concessions on the price.
It's just that Chen Feng's so-called "cooperative publicity" and "free contributions" after him couldn't accept it.
This is completely a "white wolf with empty gloves", Bai Ming thought that he was not stupid enough to be like that, he directly chose to refuse, and there was a bit of resentment between his words.
In this regard, Chen Feng is also quite helpless, his statement does sound a little unbelievable, and it is easy for people to misunderstand.
In fact, there are many deep meanings hidden behind this plan, but there are too few people who can see through it, and Bai Ming didn't give him a chance to explain it at the beginning.
Chen Feng has insights far above the cultural level of this world, so he can come up with such a bold plan; But unfortunately, most people don't have that kind of vision.
Vision, which is an indispensable indicator on the road to success.
This world, at the beginning of the great literary age; While most people only regard "the supremacy of literature" as an ordinary slogan and a policy trend that changes every year, some people with "vision" can see from the clues that literature will become the mainstream culture in the future.
They formed a team and became the first "literary pioneers", in fact only a small percentage of them were literary workers, and more were businessmen.
"Jianghu" is a good example, before the advent of the literary torrent, it was just a crumbling martial arts novel club where a group of people relied on their beliefs to persevere.
A businessman came to the door, contributed money and efforts, and gradually grew in this great literary era, until it became the first martial arts magazine.
The rise was so rapid that it shocked the literary world.
"Uncle Bai, I know that there are still many undesirable aspects of online literature in your opinion, but the carrier of the Internet will definitely become the mainstream carrier in the future."
Chen Feng said categorically that he has absolute confidence at this point, fast, convenient, and instantaneous...... Compared with traditional magazines, newspapers, books and other "carriers", the Internet has unparalleled advantages.
He doesn't know why, when the Internet technology is already very developed, most people in the world have such a low degree of development and recognition of the Internet, and in a society where literature is the mainstream, Internet literature is almost separated from mainstream literature, and even some "literati" don't like it, calling it a pastime reading.
Correspondingly, some people engaged in online literature also sneer at mainstream literature, and it is a fact that the two are not on the same page, but there is little overlap.
This is completely unreasonable, and at the same time a huge opportunity.
In the face of Bai Ming, Chen Feng dared to compare "Jianghu Ke" with "Martial Arts", so the literary website he created himself naturally had a greater pursuit.
The fiction forum was created in preparation for the creation of a literary website.
cooperating with "Jianghu Ke", on the surface, it seems that Chen Feng is preparing for the novel forum section, but in fact, it is an attempt made by Chen Feng.
He wants to build a bridge between online literature and mainstream literature.
Introduce mainstream literature into the network and give it a more powerful communication power; Mainstream online literature and break its inherent limitations.
If the bridge can be built, the benefits will be much more than that.
This is a bold idea, and if successful, it will surely become a literary innovation.
But that's a long way off, and Chen Feng still has a long way to go to think of which step.
At the moment, how to convince Bai Ming is the most important thing.
As long as Bai Ming is willing to cooperate, he can take the first step of "building a bridge", and constantly adjust and correct his plan in the run-in process between "Jianghu Ke" and the novel forum section.
So as to establish a relatively complete system and template, for the future formal "bridging" to accumulate enough experience.
"I am very optimistic about the Internet as a carrier, because it is fast and convenient...... I know that purely theoretical terms lack enough credibility, but the truth of everything I say is beyond doubt. ”
"People don't pay attention to it now, it doesn't mean that there won't be the phenomenon I said in the future, if after I have accumulated a certain amount of capital and experience, the situation I said has not appeared, then let me create it myself."
"In this cooperation, what "Jianghu Ke" has lost is just some illusory interests, and with the fame of "Jianghu Ke", it is futile to keep the copyright of online distribution, on the contrary, use these to win a brilliant future, I think you should know in your heart."
……
……
Chen Feng said a lot, speaking slowly and in an orderly manner.
Bai Ming listened quietly, he felt that his heart was like an iron stone at first, and he would not be "bewitched" by others.
But gradually, he found that although he was still a stone, he had become a reef, and Chen Feng's words were like waves, gently and powerfully slapping him, making him have some kind of subtle change.
He admits that he was a little moved.
"Uncle Bai, no matter whether our cooperation is successful or not, I can make a promise to you to enter "Jianghu Ke" as an author, and do my best to push "Jianghu Ke" to a new height, as for where the limit of this height is, I think, the choice is in your hands."
Chen Feng finished saying all the things that needed to be said and fell silent.
He looked at Bai Ming with a sincere face, waiting for the final answer.
The latter's face was full of entanglement and struggle, which was an expression that Bai Ming had never had in the past ten years.
People who are familiar with Bai Ming say that he is a person who has the courage to innovate and break through, and usually people who have these two advantages also represent arbitrariness.
Only such a person has the ability to dispel public opinion and make the results he wants.
But this time, he hesitated.
