Chapter 206: Justifying the Name of the Online Novel
After the official start of the meeting.
Chen Ping and Xuehong sat in the corner of the conference room, and the cigarette man sat behind Chen Ping, several people had already been in the limelight yesterday, and today's memories were not as simple as imagined, so several young people behaved very low-key. If you don't ask me, I won't speak.
The representative of the country is naturally Zhao Changqing, and Baodao is also a place where culture prevails, after the death of Gu Long, it is naturally represented by Qiong Yao, and there are a lot of Xiangjiang here, the four talents of Xiangjiang in the early years, because of some guest factors, only Jin Yong and Ni Kuang can participate now.
In fact, if you take a closer look, the official members who can participate in this meeting are all people who are not confused, except for those young people who accompany them, plus Chen Ping, this can be said to be an exchange meeting for the elderly.
There are all kinds of long guns and short guns set up in the conference room, and those who don't know think that a press conference is being held here. However, the only difference from the press conference is that the reporters of various media are silent, and only use the equipment in their hands to record the speeches of everyone at the meeting.
Chen Ping sat in his seat with his head bowed slightly, he didn't listen to the speeches of Jin Yong and other authors, but was thinking about the monthly ticket of "Yang God".
In April, because the bloodies wanted to get the first place in the last month's monthly pass at the end of "Song of Witches", they didn't make any effort in April and let themselves get the first place.
And in May, the outbreak of the Blood Silk Alliance was only before the blood red was finished, but in the middle of the month, the blood red had already finished the book, and the follow-up reward was a little insufficient. In addition, Chen Ping announced his marriage plan in May, and many book friends are called red envelopes in the name of rewards, and the amount of rewards is very large, plus the monthly tickets of the book friends themselves, Chen Ping once again got the first place. on this. Blood Red has nothing to say, the monthly ticket in May, he only has more than ten days to compete for, and he is definitely not as good as mortals.
The competition for a monthly pass between the two supreme gods is really terrifying. Whoever dares to slack off a little bit, the first position becomes unpredictable.
June. It's been more than ten days.
The new book of blood red has not been released, and Jing Guan's "Beast Blood Boiling" only maintains the position of the second oldest in 10,000 years, only "1911 New China" rushed more violently, and actually suppressed the third position of the Tang family.
And "Dragon Domain" barely entered the top ten, and the amount of monthly passes was a bit miserable.
Seeing that "Dragon Domain" was on the list, Chen Ping's heart suddenly changed, and when he calculated the time, it was almost the same. It's time for the subscription of "Dragon Domain" to grow explosively, right?
……
"Today, the domestic publishing industry is a little sluggish. And the polarization is too severe. The sales of good sales can reach hundreds of thousands, or even millions of copies, and the poor sales of even 30,000 copies are in jeopardy. Moreover, the best-selling books in China are mainly youth literature, and those works that truly reflect the current situation of society and provoke people to think about have become rarely interested. It has to be said that the domestic cultural trend has deviated, if we continue to take traditional literature as the benchmark of oriental culture. Then we are doomed to fall behind Western culture. It is no exaggeration to say that it will be invaded by more Western works in the future. ”
"To look at the problem, you need to look at the root of the problem. Just imagine, the domestic readership base far exceeds that of other countries, and even the number of readers we have is larger than the total population of those small and medium-sized countries, with such a big advantage, if we can't surpass Western literature, we don't even have the power to resist. Shouldn't we ask ourselves? ”
Zhao Changqing's tone was very heavy, he glanced at the mainland writers in the room, and then looked at Chen Ping, and when he saw Chen Ping bowing his head, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Young people, the critical time is still stage fright.
Zhao Changqing has great hopes for Chen Ping, these young people, and through yesterday's words, he is full of confidence in these young people, and when he went back yesterday, he specially called Chen Ping and Xuehong over, but today ......
After Zhao Changqing spoke, he spoke in order of seating.
The position of Blood Red was still in front of Chen Ping, and after a long time, it was finally Blood Red's turn.
Blood red is not as calm as Chen Ping, after hearing Zhao Changqing's words last night, he also checked the information on the Internet, and after some preparations, he was able to speak calmly.
"Whether it's Eastern culture or Western literature, they all have one thing in common, which is to take the current situation of society as the cornerstone, and then add characters and storylines. Whether the novel is good or not depends on the setting of the plot and the description of the characters, which has been fed back to the reader to think about the questions. Personally, I think that if Western literature really invades China in a big way, and can also affect the cultural thinking of the Chinese people, it can only show one problem, our Eastern literature is too failed. ”
The blood-red words were very sharp, which made many writers frown after hearing it.
"There are many channels for the dissemination of culture, not just books, but also film and television works and entertainment activities. If we are only limited to books, then we will definitely not be able to resist the impact of Western culture. Even if we really find one or two banner characters in this meeting, what about film and television? What about entertainment? We ......"
"Alas, your speech is off topic!"
Before he finished his words, he was interrupted by a treasure island writer, who looked at him with a dissatisfied face.
The speech was interrupted, and Blood Red was also annoyed, but he looked helpless.
"Can you tell us what the theme of this meeting is?" Xuehong and himself are both participating in meetings on behalf of online writers, and Chen Ping must understand the truth of glory. Blood Red was interrupted from speaking, and in the final analysis, it was the identity of the Internet writer that made these people a little despised.
The clay man still has a temper, not to mention that in the past two days, people have been provoking online writers, and Chen Ping's tone is very cold.
This time, Zhao Changqing didn't show anything on his face, but he smiled in his heart. I'm not afraid that you will say cruel words, but I am afraid that you will not speak.
The treasure island writer squinted at Chen Ping and said, "The theme of this time is to discuss how the writers here should resist the Western invasion of books, and then select two or three representative figures. ”
"Confrontation? Confrontation has always been a real fight, and you can discuss an excellent work here? Also, creation is a personal thing, and it takes inspiration. Could it be that you are writing in such a noisy place? You're amazing! ”
"You ......" the treasure island writer looked at Chen Ping with a dark face.
Chen Ping didn't care, and continued: "What's wrong with what Blood Red said? I don't think he's off-topic at all. A book, no matter how good it sells, does not represent a culture at all. Culture is a multifaceted composition, and Blood Red is right, not only books, but also entertainment, film and television and other things, which can be called culture when these things are integrated. There is a book that has invaded China's publishing industry right now, but what about later? Can you guarantee that those foreign movie songs will not be watched and sung by the Chinese people? ”
"In my opinion, this forum is necessary, but the theme of the conference needs to be changed to 'On the Diversity of Cultural Development'."
Change the theme of your meeting?
How dare this kid say it!
The theme of the conference was jointly formulated by the Writers' Association and the Hong Kong and Taiwan Writers Association.
Many people looked at Chen Ping with disdain, this kid really doesn't know the sky, did he think that he was in the limelight at the author's salon yesterday, and he had the ability to influence this writers' forum?
"The lad has a point."
Aunt Qiong Yao, who had not spoken, suddenly spoke, looking at Chen Ping and nodding.
"Over the years, our traditional literature has been confined to a certain circle as if it had been shackled. If there is no bold innovation in the work, no matter how famous the writer is, sooner or later Jiang Lang will be exhausted. Only after innovation, out of this circle, can we get more creative ideas and inspiration. ”
"Yes, not to mention anything else, in the early years, why were Jin Yong's martial arts so popular? Because for traditional prose poetry collections, Jin Yong's martial arts can also be regarded as an innovation, which can become popular. To put it bluntly, this is also the reader's demand. Ni Kuang also spoke out.
Jin Yong pondered for a moment and nodded.
"If you write according to the needs of the reader, then it becomes a real commercial novel."
"Has there been a dynasty of commercial creation since ancient times? The ancients made a living by selling paintings and words. If today's readers need commercial works, then why don't we conform to the wishes of readers, if we can encourage more commercial creation, and promote the excellent works created by such commercial creation, maybe we can also find one or two works that can sell abroad. Seeing that this momentum has a tendency to point to online novels, Xuehong quickly picked up.
"Blood Red is right, since online novels can have so many readers, there must be something worthy of everyone's liking, and other writers also need to think deeply about this!" Zhao Changqing justified the name of the online novel in a timely manner, and continued: "Since we have to fight against the invasion of Western culture, not to mention other aspects, it is just the publishing industry, and the only thing we can do now is to seize the market and launch more excellent works." ”
"Regarding the selection of representative characters this time, I personally suggest that online novels be promoted as our characteristics, which have only been officially launched for three or four years, and have already had so many readers, and the benefits created are also amazingly huge. If we support online novels, I believe that those foreign media will exclaim that this is not a transformation, but a new one! ”
Supporting online novels?
The writers of traditional literature were amazed, but what about traditional literature? And when they heard Zhao Changqing's words, they were excited, and the day of the correct name of the online novel has finally come! (To be continued......)
