Chapter 176: Becoming a Contracted Writer of the Provincial Writers' Association?
Yuan Yan was hit repeatedly, and his mood was already extremely bad. ยค
He had the heart to leave, but he didn't want to leave so gloomy and grim as a loser, his face was gloomy and hideous, he gritted his teeth and sat in his seat, and he wanted to seize the opportunity to win back a game and save some face.
As a junior, Xiao Fei was very low-key during the banquet, he basically did not make any high-minded comments, but respectfully answered other people's questions.
He doesn't have to rush to the limelight now.
Because, even if he doesn't speak, he is a well-deserved protagonist at tonight's banquet.
The article "Literature is Dead, Please Burn Paper If You Have Something" published on the harvest became the next hot topic, and Zhang Yi, Zhang Mingyuan and others were all talking about this article.
Zhang Yi believes that although Xiao Fei's article has a lot of debatable points, it is generally a powerful medicine for today's literary world, and this medicine is very timely.
Zhang Mingyuan believes that Xiao Fei's online literature will develop rapidly in the future and become the carrier of mainstream literature, although this statement is suspected of sensationalism, but this prediction is still in line with the general trend of accelerated social development.
Because the development of the Internet is indeed accelerating, the number of Internet users is also surging.
Zhang Mingyuan himself has been on the Internet and has seen some new things on the Internet.
For example, sending an email on the Internet can be received by the recipient instantly, which is much faster than mailing a letter. Zhang Mingyuan estimated that if the Internet is really popularized, the impact on the post office will be quite huge.
Zhang Mingyuan also saw the BBS community on the Internet, where people can have some discussions and conversations in a timely manner. You can express your own opinions or something.
He thinks that time will pass. When the Internet develops to a certain extent, there will definitely be many people who publish articles on the Internet. The beginning of online literature is now beginning to emerge.
But Zhang Mingyuan believes that Xiao Fei said that in three or two years, online literature will rise, and in seven or eight years, online literature will be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, which is a bit too exaggerated.
No matter what, it will take at least one or two decades for online literature to achieve something.
Because the emergence, growth, and development of a new thing always requires a relatively long process, and there will also be a process for society to accept new things.
The process is not too short.
Questioning of the two teachers. Xiao Fei explained them one by one.
He told Zhang Mingyuan that network technology has been developed abroad for more than 20 years, and now, its technical accumulation has been fully matured, and a lot of big capital is pouring into this nascent industry.
In the United States, for example, the Internet penetration rate is increasing at a rate of more than 10 percentage points every year, and large web portals such as AOL and Yahoo are now very popular.
The network has many functions, such as instant messaging, online social networking, online games, accelerating information dissemination, etc., which will greatly improve people's quality of life.
Such a good thing, something new. The social acceptance is still quite high, and once you try it, you will like it and it will be out of control, in one sentence, that is: the adhesion is very high.
Let's talk about domestic. At present, the laying of the national Internet network has begun, and the state also attaches great importance to it. With the construction of the national backbone network and the popularization of personal computers, the development of the network is accelerating at a geometric multiple. According to the current development trend, two or three years later. China's Internet will form a huge industry scale, and the number of Internet users will also skyrocket rapidly.
Until that time. The soil of online literature will be abundant, and literary websites will begin to spring up like mushrooms after a rain.
The era of online literature will also follow.
A new chapter will be opened in the development of Chinese literature.
Xiao Fei's remarks were reasonable and well-founded, and everyone present was fascinated by them. Except, of course, for one person: Yuan Grim.
"Xiao Fei, it can be seen that your knowledge is really broad, unimaginable, where did you learn all these things?" Zhang Mingyuan said with a sigh.
Xiao Fei smiled humbly and said: "Dean Zhang, I like to read miscellaneous books, I read all kinds of magazines, there was a period of time, I went to Xinhua Bookstore every day to go to the newsstand, and read a lot of magazines and newspapers, the knowledge about the Internet is all bits and pieces from the books and newspapers, and then I began to think, and gradually had some ideas." โ
"Hmmm! The idea is very good, very good, I think it makes sense, listening to you say this today, online literature really can't be underestimated! Zhang Mingyuan nodded.
It is extremely rare for a 19-year-old child to have such a deep mind.
All of you here are elders in the literary circle, and in addition to being severe, they are still happy to see the growth of newcomers.
The crowd agreed.
Just eating and drinking.
"Mingyuan, the Academy of Arts is going to sign a new batch of signed writers this year, right?" Zhang Yi turned his head and asked Zhang Mingyuan at this time.
"yes!" Zhang Mingyuan replied and glanced at Xiao Fei, "I know what the chairman means, a good seedling like Xiao Fei naturally has to be signed." โ
Zhang Yi nodded, that's what he meant.
Xiao Fei listened to the one-on-one answer of the two, and smiled in his heart, is this to give me a place for a contracted writer at the Provincial Academy of Literature?
Each provincial and municipal writers' association has its own contracted writers, and has formed a fixed system. For example, the Hexi Provincial Writers Association signed a contract with 30 writers from the United Provincial Academy of Literature.
Contracted writers generally have a two-year cycle, during which the writers will enjoy the state's financial supply so that they can write with peace of mind.
This is also known as the "system".
The starting point of this system is good, so that those excellent writers do not have to worry about food and clothing, and can create better works with peace of mind.
However, when it is actually implemented, it has changed a little.
There are a lot of people who don't learn and don't know how to do it, because they have connections and paths, and they have also become contracted writers, enjoying the country's supply, but in fact, they can't write any decent works.
"Xiao Fei, that's the case, in a while, I'm going to sign a new stage of the Faculty of Letters signed writers, I hope to sign you in, how about it, are you interested?" Zhang Mingyuan asked.
Do you want to become a contract writer?
This is not a problem for Xiao Fei.
Rejecting the system seems to be very personal, but what good is it for him?
Becoming a contracted writer can be regarded as a recognition of Xiao Fei's creative achievements by the Writers' Association, which can also be regarded as a kind of qualification. Moreover, this qualification is hard to come by.
In a large province with a population of tens of millions, there are not many literature lovers, and there are two or three thousand members of the Provincial Writers' Association alone, and there are so 30 people who sign up, and no matter how many people fight for it, they can't earn anything!
Since it was sent to the door, Xiao Fei was not pretentious, and agreed very simply: "Thank you so much Chairman Zhang and Dean Zhang for your love." โ
At this time, Yuan Yanyan, who had been sitting on the side and not speaking, jumped out again: "Dean Zhang, the quota for signing writers has already been filled, and it is impossible to sign Xiao Fei again." (To be continued, please search, the novel is better and faster!)
