Chapter 387: Responsibility
Online articles have the advantages of fast dissemination and low entry threshold, but it is precisely because of their low entry threshold that it has caused the problem of a large number of online authors and uneven quality of authors.
Most of the authors who enter the online literature circle have a bad life, and an unsatisfactory life can easily cause the author's cynical character. The virtuality of text and the Internet, online texts often become a way for these authors to vent their inner grievances.
Just like the reason why this society needs laws is because human beings need constraints, the same is true for online texts, which cannot be like wild horses that have escaped the reins, and also need certain constraints.
The reason why human beings are human beings is because human beings are social animals, and everyone needs to do their part for society. Whether it is a great god, a supreme god or a low-level small author, they are all literary disseminators, or cultural disseminators, so their responsibilities are heavier and greater than others, because they have a wider range of dissemination. The more this is the case, the more we need to bring some positive energy to society.
Bi Xia did not want to restrict the idea of online literature, nor did he want the online literature to develop according to his thoughts, and he could not do it.
If literature wants to develop, it needs the collision of multiple ideas, the righteous, the evil, the inspirational, and the second, as long as the reader needs it, there will be a corresponding author.
He just wants to purify the dross in online literature as much as possible, at least the three views are not correct, and these too gloomy thoughts against human beings need to be banned.
Thinking about it, Bi Xia suddenly felt very helpless, because any work is processed according to reality, it can be the background, it can be the human thought, is what these books show is today's social problems?
Any successful god author, his works must have their own central ideas, like a super god book in memory, the masterpiece "The Legend of Mortal Cultivation of Immortals". Han Li, the protagonist of this book, writes about the indifference in human nature to the extreme. Han Li was called Han Lao Demon by his book friends, and Bi Xia thought that it was not that he had a demonic nature in his heart. Instead, he blurs good and evil, right and wrong, and his existence and his pursuit are only for the sake of becoming immortals.
In order to become an immortal, right or wrong does not matter to him; In order to become an immortal, there is no need to distinguish between good and evil; In order to become an immortal, chivalrous responsibility and him have long since dissipated. Anything that hinders him from becoming an immortal will be abandoned, affection, family affection...... All that's left is that pitifully low terrible bottom line!
"The Legend of Mortal Cultivation of Immortals" is considered by book friends to have the same effect as the upgrading of modern officialdom, one is to become an immortal. One is to be a big official, and you can constantly compromise your bottom line. In Bi Xia's view, Han Li's character is a true portrayal of a modern ordinary person, with weak human feelings, weak virtues, and a weak sense of responsibility, and pursues the three major formal principles of "people do not destroy the heavens and the earth for themselves" and "it is not about themselves, hang high" and "the sky falls, and there is a tall person on top".
Perhaps it is precisely because the forgetting of words has written the hearts of modern people too really, so many book lovers have found themselves in the book and have a full sense of substitution. This book became a book of God.
The ideas of this book are not in line with the lofty and noble things of justice, protection, and responsibility, but he records the true nature of modern people, so he succeeds. Bixia thinks it's a good book and loves it. I appreciate this book, but I don't agree with his ideas, and I am too negative about human nature and morality.
In fact, there are many such works, and even more works than this, in my memory. This kind of work is often reflected in the fact that the protagonist only takes benefits, only cares about himself, and never thinks about return. Whether it's for the family or for the sect! In reality, is it similar to the fact that most children will always ask for something from their parents instead of giving it back?
The more I thought about it, the more I felt a headache, and Bi Xia rubbed her sour eyebrows. The problems reflected in the online article are actually only part of this microcosm of society.
In fact, looking back on the development of online literature in the past ten years, you will find that the more famous the author's works, the more mature the protagonist is in character and the more peaceful he is in his mentality. The protagonist of each work is a reflection of the author's heart, the more famous the author, the less pressure their life is under at least financially, and the more peaceful their mentality is, the more "normal" the protagonist will naturally become.
Looking at the works of all fiction writers, whether it is Jin Yong, Gu Long, or Huang Yi, they have magical and strange characters, evil, magical, mediocre or dazzling, but the protagonists of each book must have shining points in human nature, they may have all kinds of shortcomings, but they must have a clear conscience.
He lit a cigarette and lit up Hou Ye's "Looking for Immortals", "Looking for Immortals" has written more than 4 million words, and the results are very good, and now there are more than 100 alliance leaders, and the Silver Alliance has one, which is very strong.
Bi Xia opened his account and set up his own subscription, which was regarded as a support for his friends, and he watched it with relish by the way. "Looking for Immortals" and "The Legend of Mortal Immortals" have similarities and differences.
Hou Ye used to be a great god of martial arts novels, his thoughts, and his character all have a strong chivalrous spirit, which has been diluted a lot in this grand Xianxia world, but the chivalrous bottom line in his heart is still firmly rooted. This is reflected in the fact that the protagonist of "Looking for Immortals" has more sense of responsibility and chivalrous spirit than Han Li. There are more ideas in the text that "if you are poor, you will be good to yourself, and if you are good, you will help the world".
Next, he watched the demon wolf's "The Human Emperor" and the ear stud's "The Emperor of Heaven", the description of humanity in "The Human Emperor" is very heavy, and it is very compassionate, and the protagonist has the posture of a saint; The protagonist in "The Emperor of Heaven" is domineering and decisive, but he also shows the taste of loving the people like a son. Bi Xia smiled, they all came to an automatic subscription, and secretly rewarded each person with an alliance leader, which can be regarded as a contribution to his friends.
He opened the group and found that the three demon wolves were all online, so he created a zero-hour dialogue group and pulled all three of them in.
Demon wolf: "Onlookers, strong onlookers!" The emperor has arrived, and he needs to worship! ”
Stud earrings: "Your Majesty summons, thanks to the grace of God!" ”
Hou Ye: "......"
Bi Xia smiled bitterly, if he hasn't been online for a long time, this will be hit enough: "I'm sorry, I was really busy some time ago, forgive me!" ”
Hou Ye: "I don't blame you, they are joking, knowing that you have a lot of work, why are you empty today?" ”
Bi Xia: "I just finished filming, I will rest for a few days, like I will finish writing during this time." ”
Demon wolf: "Hurry up, "Buddha is the Tao" is pressed in front, I haven't tasted the taste of the monthly ticket champion for a long time." ”
Stud earrings: "Just you?" Forget it, it's not your turn, isn't there still me after Your Majesty? ”
Demon Wolf: "Why don't you die?" If you don't compare this month's monthly pass, the wolf master will fight with you! ”
Bi Xia: "I'll go." You're still so emotional. ”
Hou Ye: "Leave them alone, play treasure all day long, and don't do business." ”
Demon wolf: "Master Hou, you die!" ”
Studs: "Master Hou, you're done, you have offended the organization, I will destroy you on behalf of the moon!" ”
Hou Ye: "......"
Bi Xia looked at the text on the screen and smiled, laughing happily, except for a few friends in the circle. You need to be careful when talking to other people, for fear of offending them if you are not careful. But chatting and farting with these people, Bi Xia feels very relaxed, maybe their value is far inferior to Bi Xia, maybe their status in the novel industry is far inferior to him, but they are very straightforward, very sincere, have no heart, and will not alienate Bi Xia because of their identity. Make chalk of one and cheese of the other.
"By the way, brothers, have you noticed that the quality of the novels on the website has dropped a lot recently?"
Stud earrings: "I found it. There are more and more types of novels on the site, and the quality has really decreased. ”
Demon Wolf: "I've read some of them, and some of them don't know what they are, so I know they're eye-catching." ”
Hou Ye: "There are many authors. There are many people who imitate it, and the level is uneven. The first book was okay, it was all written like this. You can never write famously. ”
Hou Ye's insight is very good, just like Bi Xia summed up, if you want to become a god, the work and the protagonist must be mainstream, and there are still more people yearning for light in this society.
Bi Xia: "I'm thinking, this kind of work is much easier to write than yours, as long as a few books do well, more and more people will draw gourds, and then the website will be full of a batch of unnutritious works." I'm not afraid of this alone, but I'm afraid that the more we write, the darker it becomes, and the more we write, the more selfish and terrible we write about human nature. We are authors and disseminators of culture, and it's really scary to have so many things like this. ”
The demon wolf is silent, the earrings are silent, the Hou Ye is silent, Bi Xia's words are not alarmist, but they are just some small authors, they have more than enough heart but not enough power.
After a while, Hou Ye said: "I will react to this problem with the editor, I can't guarantee how they will be, but I think we can contact a group of authors, everyone has been in the online literature circle for so many years, we all want the online literature circle to go further and better, we have attracted a group of authors, and now we have reached a consensus, start with ourselves!" ”
Demon Wolf: "Reconsideration!" ”
Stud earrings: "I'm fine!" ”
Bi Xia was very moved in his heart, this actually has nothing to do with them, but they did it, maybe they had to bear criticism, but they did not hesitate, this is the responsibility, this is the master!
Bi Xia said: "I will attend the next author gathering, and I will mention it when the time comes." "With Bi Xia's current identity, I think there will be many people who will give him this face, and his identity is more suitable than the three Hou Ye and the demon wolf.
Later, Bi Xia contacted his editor, Zui Qingfeng, and discussed the issue with him, and Bi Xia explained the consequences of his own laissez-faire with the website. In fact, to say that the result is nothing more than that, in the memory world of 2014, the starting point website is still the leading boss, and the network author still survives.
It's just that the world of reality and memory is different, the social atmosphere in China is more enlightened than in China, and Huaxia has gradually liberalized the publishing rights of simplified books such as fantasy and Xianxia in the mainland, and online literature has greater ambitions to completely replace traditional literature, and the starting point of the prosperous era is a giant of online literature, so this kind of laissez-faire will definitely not work, which is undoubtedly an act of self-destruction.
Bi Xia's statement has been taken seriously by Drunken Qingfeng, if you don't pay attention to it, Bi Xia is now the signboard of the starting point of the prosperous world, if you lose Bi Xia and let him go to another website, as long as it takes a year, the hegemony of the starting point of the prosperous world will be lost. Besides, Bi Xia's point of view is true and well-founded, which is indeed a big problem.
Drunk Qingfeng: "What do you think should be done?" Do you want to ban these kinds of books? Books that are too extreme, there are indeed now, but there are not many, and the blocking is not a big problem. ”
Bi Xia: "It's not advisable to ban these acts, I don't recommend it, after all, speech is free." I think that when reviewing this kind of book, it is okay to have the same standard as everyone, but in terms of resources, Sanjiang, recommendations and the like should not be given. When such a gimmick can't make money, these authors will naturally summarize and naturally follow the rules. We allow a hundred flowers to bloom, and we just don't support the three views that are not correct. ”
Drunk Qingfeng thought for a while and said, "That's right, this may be the best and safest way!" I will mention it to the company, thank you! ”
After communicating with the website, Bi Xia's heart put down a little, this work is not a short time to be effective, it takes everyone's long-term efforts to regulate the market.
In the afternoon of the same day, Bixia's office ushered in a white and chubby acquaintance.
"Brother Pig, you are really well-informed, not long after I came back, you came to the door?" Bi Xia looked at Zhu Debiao, who kept wiping his sweat with a tissue, and smiled.
Zhu Debiao shook his white fat and said: "Brother, you are so busy, flying from south to north, and finally met in the capital, how can I let you go." ”
Bi Xia poured a glass of water for Zhu Debiao, handed it over, and said, "Say, what's the bad idea?" ”
Zhu Debiao exaggeratedly shouted: "How can it be a bad idea, how can this be reasonable." He put the cup down and said, "My great writer, it's a win-win for us, right, a win-win!" ”
Bi Xia was so uncomfortable stared at by his hard-working little eyes, he felt that sitting opposite was a flying god pig with fangs, a pair of big ears, bright eyes, and saliva in his mouth, and said with a dry laugh: "Yes, win-win, you say you say." ”
Zhu Debiao snorted and said: "One, I want to win the publishing rights of "Buddha is the Way", I believe that this book will definitely create a historical record for the publication of online novels, and its potential is huge; Second, "Dragon Babu" is about to end, only the last volume is left, and now many book fans hope that you can have the next one, and my letters are piled up in a sack, or I will bring it to you? ”
Bi Xia thought for a while and replied: "I can hand over "Buddha is the Way" to you for publication, this is no problem, it's just a new martial arts work, it still needs to wait for a while, I still need to conceive, and "Buddha is the Way" in my hand also needs to be saved." ”
"Haha, it's okay." Zhu Debiao clapped his hands violently and said happily: "Wait, it's okay!" As long as you write the original intention, it doesn't matter how long you wait, and the fans don't want you to write right away, they all know that you are busy, as long as you give everyone a hope!
