Chapter 229: The Battle Between Tradition and the Internet

It's in human nature!

What you like, even if it is flawed, you can only say it yourself, once others sarcastically mock what you like, your anger will definitely explode instantly.

Online readers are the same, they can complain unscrupulously about their dissatisfaction with the book, because they spend money, and they are qualified to spray the author. However, if someone really looks down on their favorite work or favorite author, these readers will instantly show their strange side.

More online readers are dismissive of Zhang Fei's remarks, but a small number of emotional readers began to complain in major forums, and some even threatened to personally attack Zhang Fei.

After Chen Ping showed his face, the picture was cut off again and replaced with the scene of the starting point company. However, during the interview, the reporters under Director Tong were divided into two ways, one of which was to conduct a comprehensive understanding of the starting point.

In the next minute or so, the work of the editor of the starting point Chinese website is shown, and then this textual narrative is entaped.

"Since its establishment in 2003, Qiqi Chinese has quickly become the most powerful online literature website, leading similar websites in terms of the number of readers and the number of signed authors. In 04, the contracted author Xuehong became the first online writer with an annual income of more than one million. In the same year, the monthly manuscript fee of the starting point Chinese network exceeded one million. In 05, the starting point Chinese network once again had a groundbreaking innovation, and its contracted author mortal work "Immortal Rebellion" became the first fantasy novel published in simplified Chinese in China, and then sold the game adaptation rights at a sky-high price of two million. The simplified publishing sales of "Days of Living with a Flight Attendant" exceeded one million copies, and the film and television adaptation rights were acquired by Huayi Brothers Media! In the same year, three writers with an annual income of more than one million appeared on the starting point Chinese network, and mortals even topped the list with an annual income of seven million, becoming a well-deserved gold-absorbing god among online writers! ”

"We welcome more authors with dreams to join the Big Start family. Here, we just provide platforms and opportunities, as long as you have dreams, strength, and an annual income of one million is not difficult! ”

That's the end of the news about web novels!

Speaking of which, plus Jin Yong's remarks. The time for the online novel to leave the country is only three or five minutes. Don't underestimate these three or five minutes, you must know that in the news, even those foreign leaders cannot get three or five minutes of broadcast time, which shows the determination of relevant departments to support online novels.

Chen Ping was very satisfied, and he admired Zhao Changqing even more. A chairman of the Writers' Association can win such a large amount of publicity, if there is no one behind him, Chen Ping will definitely not believe it.

The greater Zhao Changqing's energy. Chen Pingyue was happier, not for him personally. To be honest, he personally does not have much involvement with Zhao Changqing, and the relationship is also very average. But Zhao Changqing's contributions to online novels, Chen Ping really admires!

……

Today's news has had a profound impact on a lot of people!

Not just those who love web novels, but also those who have not been exposed to web novels.

People who like online novels are proud from the bottom of their hearts, and in the past, they were always said by parents or colleagues to be unprofessional, and even some parents were very disgusted with online novels. thinks that there is no benefit for your children to read this kind of exaggerated and illusory novel, and it may also cause children to have false fantasies. Since then, it has affected academics.

Seeing today's news, the online novel that was very disgusted in the past can be highly recognized by Jin Yong's hero. What is news? In the eyes of the Chinese people, news can only be broadcast if it is allowed and supported by the state.

Parents can't help but start thinking deeply and asking themselves.

Those who have never been exposed to online novels have a strong interest in online novels after seeing today's news, what kind of novels can make so many people like them. Even Jin Yong's heroes praised him. Why do writers in the Writers' Association scoff at web novels?

Qualified people, after reading the news, directly type the words starting point Chinese the net on the search engine, and then enter the website and start looking for the novel adapted into a game. They want to see how mortals sell the game adaptation rights of a novel for a whopping two million!

This night, whether it is those who like online novels, or those who have just become interested in online novels, or those who oppose online novels and look down on online novels, they all unanimously opened the starting point Chinese network.

According to the starting point, after half past seven in the evening of the same day, the number of website views tripled in an hour!

……

Don't think that the news is just what happened on the day, it may be something that has been recorded in advance and only aired on the news when the time is right.

After Chen Ping finished reading the news, there were only a few big words left in his mind - Literary Reform Conference!

When announcing Jin Yong's views on online novels, these words were mentioned on the news, and only those who had a heart could discover the deep meaning contained in them, and Chen Ping naturally noticed it.

Literary reform?

How to change?

Can the writers of traditional literature say yes?

……

The next day, July 2nd, at two o'clock in the afternoon, the capital.

"I still insist on my own opinion, what literature needs is not reform, but encouragement and support. Personally, I have reservations about the Writers' Association's support for online novels, and I also implore the directors of the Writers' Association to consider it carefully! Zhang Fei sat in the venue, looking at Zhao Changqing with a very serious face. He didn't know which nerve Zhao Changqing was deranged, and he actually wanted to support the online novel with great fanfare. If online novels are really supported, then where will traditional literature be placed?

Writers who hold the same idea unanimously agree with Zhang Fei's views, and some people have expressed their own opinions, in short, they oppose the Writers' Association's support for online literature.

Especially after watching last night's news, a young child dares to say that he doesn't read traditional literature? Where did you learn your knowledge? Did you write essays when you were in school?

Some of them have even seen the sarcasm of those online readers on traditional literary writers, which makes it even more difficult for them to accept.

Literati, the face that has always been valued the most!

Slapping them in the face makes them worse than killing them!

There were no online writers participating in this literary reform conference, and those who could participate in this conference were all well-known experts and scholars in China, or famous writers with very good sales. In fact, to put it bluntly, they still despise online novels, believing that online writers are not qualified to sit at the same table with them.

Zhao Changqing's face was natural, and he couldn't see his joy or anger. Some other writers who know something about online novels are also silent, and they don't oppose or support it!

Jin Yong and several writers in the Baodao area are hanging up in a high-minded manner, after all, this is a matter of the mainland, and it is not their turn to talk more. Jin Yong and expressed his intentions, if he said anything at this time, it would be too much.

After those experts and writers who held opposing opinions finished expressing their opinions, Zhao Changqing took a sip of water unhurriedly and then spoke.

"Whether it is traditional literature or online literature, the Writers' Association supports it. It's just that in recent years, traditional literature has gradually begun to decline, and many works have been published, but how many can really show excellent results? Maybe you think I'm commercializing literature, I don't deny it. If literature is still done with the mentality of guiding education, it will only decline more and more. You should all know the current social situation, the competition is becoming more and more fierce, and people's hearts are becoming more and more impetuous, how many people can read with peace of mind and think about the hidden philosophies and ideas in the book. ”

"Let's not talk about our own literature, let's take Western literature as an example, why is the path of Western literature without a background wider than that of Eastern literature? It may be because of the different national nature of Western countries, so they write unscrupulously and write a lot of interesting things. But one thing that cannot be denied is that they are catering to the tastes of readers, so their sales can be spread. With sales, the influence will be wider and wider, and more and more people will be affected. Just ask, even if you write a work that is comparable to a classic, and no one reads it, will anyone understand the meaning you want to express? ”

"Therefore, the path of literary commercialization is indispensable, and this path must be tried. Aren't the current online novels quietly growing up without us knowing? At the very least, the current situation proves their success. Is it wrong that we didn't invest energy and manpower, but just came up with some appropriate policies to support their own development? Do not be jealous of others if you cannot do it yourself, for this is my advice to you! ”

……

"Isn't it just a web novel? As long as you have a prescient imagination, plus a certain amount of writing skills and logical thinking, anyone can write it, what's the big deal! Zhang Fei shot back indifferently.

Zhao Changqing's eyelids jumped slightly, looked at Zhang Fei with a smile, and said, "In this case, why don't you write a book and publish it on the Internet, and see if it can be successful?" ”

"I support Chairman Zhao's opinion, rather than this, it is better to directly notify those young online writers, let them also participate, traditional literature elects a representative, and online literature sends a person, and the two compete on the same platform and under the same publicity conditions to see who is more powerful!" A writer beside Zhao Changqing chimed in.

All the traditional writers and scholars looked at this person in unison, and everyone was thinking about whether these words were improvised by himself or the meaning behind Zhao Changqing.

"It's not fair!" Zhang Fei said angrily, "Those online writers themselves are mixed websites, and their readers are basically reading on the website, while our readers are all people with serious identities and jobs, and they don't have so much time to read books on the Internet!" It's not fair that we don't have an advantage by nature! ”

"How can it be fair?" Zhao Changqing asked quietly.

"Help us hype up in advance, and then compare the results on the Internet, and compare the physical sales!" Zhang Fei said self-righteously.

"Okay, I'll help you spread the word for a week in advance!" (To be continued......)

PS: After reading this chapter, I don't know how many book friends have found a sense of familiarity, and do you remember the game a few years ago?
