Chapter 321 of the text Writers of the Year

Next chapter

At the end of the year, it snowed heavily in Kyoto. ∽↗∽↗，

Snowflakes fell like goose feathers, falling tightly and piling up on the branches of the rooftop trees, forming a white world. The snow on the ground is also very thick, and it is not even convenient to travel.

The weather is colder, and if it's okay, no one wants to wander outside, and even people's hearts are cold.

Seeing that it is a new year again, various companies and units are getting busier and busier, and the settlement at the end of the year and the budget at the beginning of the year are very busy.

It is also time for various institutions to take stock of the past year's summary

The Kyoto Daily went to the front of all the media, and they did a series of year-end inventory features in the supplement, starting with the political topic, which looked at all the important things that happened in the past year at home and abroad. Then there is the financial feature, which lists the rankings of world-renowned companies, and some financial figures are also on the list.

The third issue did a cultural topic, and as in previous years, a list was made, called the Annual Influence List of Chinese Writers. As the name suggests, it is to summarize what are the influential Chinese writers in the past year.

This is what the Kyoto Daily does every year, and of course, the so-called influence is big and small, and it is really necessary to list them one by one, and with the base number of writers in China with a population of 2 billion and several million, even if we use all the pages of several issues of the Kyoto Daily, we will not be able to list them all.

Therefore, they only rank a hundred writers, also known as the Top 100 Writers. There is not only one criterion for being on the list, but a combination of major factors, such as artistic value, royalty income, appeal, etc., so it is called the influence list.

However, it is obvious that what artistic value and appeal are relatively virtual things, especially artistic value, it is more public to say that the public is reasonable, and the mother is reasonable. Unable to unify; As for the appeal, it's even harder to say, if you have to explain it. That can only be argued by the market.

Whoever has more market will have greater appeal. is more influential. So this royalty income is the most obvious criterion for this list. After all, what the income is, at a glance. Selling more naturally represents the recognition of the market.

It's just that it's not just a hero based on market sales. For example, a well-known writer whose book has already been on the market for a long time, but in this year for some reason, he was suddenly remembered by readers. It has promoted sales and greatly increased income, but it may not necessarily make him further on this list, and even regression.

There is no surprise in the top 100 writers this year, the first is still Wang Tianming, a novelist, even if he has now put his main mind on opening up the international market, he is still alone in China, even if there is no new book released on the market, just sell his previous books, plus some copyright expansion. His income is still high, and no writer can shake his position

There is a change in the second place, and the fairy tale master Yang Jie has risen by one year from last year's third place. Her royalty income this year has also increased compared to last year, which fully proves the argument that the children's market is the most profitable.

In third place went to the writer Ms. Heshui, who dropped one place from last year's second place, but that didn't shake her influence. As the most accomplished writer in existence other than Wang Tianming, she is a woman who has firmly held the top three on this list for nearly ten years. This is a rare thing, which shows that she is not outdated, and readers still remember her.

As for the fourth to the tenth, they are all some famous writers. However, attentive readers can find that these writers earn a lot of money. Most of them are playwrights and novelists, such as Wang Wang and Xie Kun. The former is sixth, and the latter ninth. This shows that the world is still dominated by dramas and novels, but with the development of science and technology in the past ten years, especially the prosperity of online games, novels have become more popular, and dramas are relatively sluggish.

After the top ten, some writers who have been famous for many years are on the list, such as Shui Tianyi, the head of the Tangtang Huaxia Writers Association, who is ranked sixteenth. Among the famous writers, the status of the poet is more embarrassing, and the current head of the poetry world, Haizhi, is only ranked 33rd on the top 100 list; As for Haidao and others, they are even more seventy or eighty away. It fully shows that poetry has withered to a point that people ignore, and the name is like a sea finger, and it can't even enter the top 30.

Fortunately, this daily newspaper also gave face to some old people, such as the previous first person in the poetry world, Donglian Shangren, who did not participate in the ranking, on the grounds that he had not published a poetry collection for many years, so his number would not be counted. Of course, this is an excuse, after all, although the Venerable Master Donglian has not published new poems, his old poetry collections have been selling, but they are not selling very well

Of course, there are old and new people on the list, and some fresh faces have also squeezed into the top 100 to receive this honor. Many people saw the familiar words "Su Wen" on it.

Su Wen was on the Kyoto Daily's annual list of writers' influence

This should not be surprising, readers have not forgotten the movements that Su Wen has made in the literary world for more than half a year, from scripts to poems, and then fairy tales and ghost stories

Gaining momentum means being influential, so it is natural for the daily newspaper to list him.

However, readers were surprised by his ranking

It's already very good for new writers to be able to squeeze into the top 100, generally more than 90, at most more than 80, in fact, this is easy to understand, although the daily newspaper only lists 100 every year, but when they do the list statistics, there must be many substitutes after 100.

These substitutes work diligently every year, isn't it just to move up some rankings, enter the top 100, and really get the honor of being on the list.

However, this year's Su Wen broke this routine. If he doesn't make the list, he will advance by leaps and bounds, and he will rush to the front

How many

XXXV. 35 |

What does this represent

Thirty-fifth, only two places lower than the sea finger that has been famous for more than 20 years, although it is an indisputable fact that the poetry market is sluggish, but the influence of poetry is still not small, and Su is only two places lower than him

The so-called one stone stirs up a thousand waves, which is what it says, and many people are shocked and question the credibility of this list.

Why is it that a new person is not up, and he rushed to the thirty-fifth place as soon as he was on the list, which makes the faces of those writers who have struggled for many years and are still outside the hundred

Not to mention the lively readers, even those writers expressed disbelief, questioning the daily newspaper's lack of discipline and shady scenes. Not only are the 100 unexpected writers noisy, but even a large part of the top 100 writers on the list are shocked, and it is difficult not to talk about it:

"What the hell is this, where did this Su Wen come out, is the Monkey King who came out of the stone?"

"Thirty-five hehe, they really dare to platoon"

"I've seen shameless, I've never seen such shameless, anyway, are your underwear still there, are your temperance still there?"

"I, Zhao Tian, expressed dissatisfaction"

"Shady"

Questioning the ranking of the daily newspapers and denying Su Wen's inclusion on the list burned people's hearts in this cold winter, and became a hot topic for a while, Su Wen was like being put on a shelf and roasted like an unfinished topic.
