Chapter Eighty-Eight: Dream Crusher

Previous Chapter

I know that I sent this single chapter, and the book will be evaporated, living up to the expectations of all the more than 20,000 readers, and the website is called the beginning, but in fact the end.

But I still have to speak out, the series of operations at the starting point really make the author feel cold, and this is no longer a warm bed for online dreams

Every author who stays up late will be reduced to a sow in the pigsty.

No matter how many piglets the sow gives birth to, they do not belong to the sow, and from the moment they are born, the piglets are reduced to the pockets of the capitalists, only to be ruthlessly slaughtered on the day of fattening.

Some readers laughed at me, isn't it good to stay here as a sow?

Eat and drink without worry, sleep and eat and sleep, drunk and dreaming of death, even if the subscription is sharply reduced, it is better than going to deliver takeaways, work as security guards, and sell breakfast.

Jokes aside, but I think that even selling breakfast is better than staying here, at least selling breakfast still has dignity, but staying here, I'm just a gunman, a ruthless yard machine, and this book is no longer worth my effort.

Maybe you think it's not a big deal, but if I endure it, the sea and the sky will be wide.

But hear me a little bit about how outrageous the new covenant is.

First, the author's backstage income may be negative, if the author's novel is fancy to be used for film and television, he does not need to pay the author any copyright fees, because the copyright is not in the author's hands, and if the film and television drama loses money, then sorry, the lost money, the author may also bear it, that is to say, the author's backstage income is likely to become negative five million in a certain month.

Second, once the free reading is implemented, then the paid subscription of the starting point will become a joke, cutting off the source of income for ninety percent of the authors, and the most ridiculous thing is that if there is a third party infringing on rights, such as piracy, copyright infringement and rights, then when the author fights a lawsuit, the author will have to post money to fight the lawsuit together, and if he wins, the compensation fee belongs to the starting point, and the author will not get a penny, and he will be even more embarrassed if he loses.

Third, the author is in prison, undoubtedly signing a contract of contract, and can only stay in China Literature to fight for opaque advertising fees, one day the author wants to go to the outer station to write a book, then sorry, you will be held accountable, you will stay at the starting point for half your life.

Such a shocking new hetong, who wants to sign? Who dares to sign it? Who loves to sign?

I really can't imagine that on May Day, the majority of codeword workers will usher in such a heavy blow.

Where do thousands of low- and middle-level authors go from here?

No matter where you go in the future, it is better than painting a pie in the mirror.

Many readers also think that the advent of the free era is a great thing for them, and wouldn't it be beautiful to save ten or twenty dollars a month?

But do you know that when the author can't get enough to eat, where does he get the heart to write a good book for you?

When every author writes a book for the film and television drama adapted by IP......

What will be the result?

The whimsical online texts, more than a hundred small genres will all die, and no one will write any online articles that are not suitable for adaptation, what apocalyptic crisis, StarCraft, Sky Travel, Japanese comic fandom, game otherworld, game system, war fantasy, evolutionary mutation, dark fantasy, all of them will decline in the novel industry, and then become the dust of history.

Maybe you think that the novels of the four major categories of fantasy fairy tale and urban costume are enough for you to read for a lifetime, but when the authors cater to the adaptation market, what you see will definitely not be the novel brain holes and ups and downs you want to see.

Online novels, which have risen since seventeen years ago, have been developing rapidly, and thousands of authors are racking their brains to innovate under the fierce competition, so there are now a hundred flowers in the online literature industry, all kinds of amazing brain holes, which are really ahead of all kinds of foreign novels, let's not care about influence and value, at least innovation and brain holes, foreign countries can't compare.

I was fortunate enough to have been in contact with online texts since 17 years ago, and I have witnessed the glory of online texts all the way, and even contacted game friends in Europe and the United States, he used translation software to tell me that he likes some English translations of fantasy cool texts, which is very exciting to read, more exciting than watching blockbuster movies, and I am proud to tell him, hey, Brad, you know what, I also write cool texts, maybe more than ten years later, you can also see the English translation of my novel over there.

Ten years ago, when I was a student, I naively thought that online literature would become a symbol of the cultural characteristics of my country, just like Korean online games and Japanese comics, but today, my dream has been shattered.

Many author friends in the industry have stayed up late to change the text, drank countless cups of coffee for countless nights, and joked about their health.

But now, this place, this bloodsucking factory, is no longer possible to create gods, and even if it can be made, it is a false god.

I can honestly say that I only have 5,000 yuan left in my bank card, and my wife is counting on the book to supplement the family, buy some milk powder money, and buy her a new dress.

But I have hands and feet, even if I sign up for Meituan to deliver takeaways, I can earn 6,800 if I work hard, I can support myself and my wife, I don't need to be like a dog, expecting the capitalists to share a bone with me.

One can be so depressed that one can go through the trash can to find bread that someone else has eaten, but if one breaks one's spine and wags his tail at the capitalist and begs for mercy, he will never be able to stand up.

It's a pity that the most sorry thing is that the more than 20,000 readers who have been waiting for me to come back to the starting point, and your full expectation has finally fallen victim to the struggle between the author and capital......

Book friends, I believe that we are destined to meet again, maybe three years, maybe ten years, but I believe that online novels will eventually have a hotbed to continue to dream.
