Chapter 286: A Madman or a Clown

"Have you heard? The Battle of the Six Books is said to have involved a well-known traditional writer. On the high-speed train, a well-informed writer said to the young writer next to him.

"Yes, there will be traditional writers participating in competitions like ours, haven't they always looked down on us third-rate writers who write online articles?" another young writer replied sarcastically.

"I guess I'm short of money. These so-called traditional writers may not earn as much money as we do by writing books for decades. In this era, sales are the only criterion for judging the quality of a book, I really don't understand, some traditional writers who only earn hundreds of thousands of dollars in their lifetimes have the qualifications to laugh at us online writers. ”

"Yes, I really don't understand how these traditional writers, who only write one or two million words in their lives and earn hundreds of thousands, have the qualifications to ridicule us Internet writers? One or two million words, we can write in two years at most. And they may not be able to adapt it into movies and games in their lifetime. The young writer said with disdain and arrogance on his face.

Not only on the high-speed train, but all over the country, all the online writers who are interested in the battle of the six parts are discussing the fact that traditional writers will participate in the competition.

Some of them shared the disdain on their faces like the two young men, because they felt that the traditional writer was just trying to make a name for himself.

And some writers are like a big enemy, because traditional writers have much deeper heritage than Internet writers, especially the elderly, and his life precipitation and experience are not comparable to ordinary Internet writers.

However, whether they are big enemies or disdainful online writers, they are basically more or less hostile to traditional writers.

After all, the reputation that online writers have always carried is not very good.

"Lao Shi, are you crazy? Are you still angry with young people at such an age? Should you be angry to participate in the competition of that Internet writer because of the title of a so-called gentleman?" An angry but old voice came from the phone.

Perhaps because he hadn't heard Lao Shi's reply for a long time, this angry and old voice slowly became bitter.

"Or is it because of lack of money? If you are short of money, tell me that I still have some coffin and I can give it to you. Don't go to that competition, the audience of that competition is for young people, and the subject matter and audience of your book are for middle-aged and elderly people! If you go to participate, you will definitely lose! You must know how negatively you will affect our traditional writers and your reputation if you lose! You... You... Hurry up and quit, or be careful that the evening is not safe!"

However, his bitter heart still didn't get any response from Lao Shi, because in the past few days, Lao Shi has received too many such persuasions to quit the phone.

Those calls that persuaded him to quit had old friends he had known for many years, apprentices he had brought out who had achieved success, and family members who had not been in touch for a long time because of his age and strange personality.

On their phone calls, they all decided that Lao Shi was crazy, and they all thought that Lao Shi would definitely lose ugly as long as he participated in the game.

However, no matter what method they used to persuade Lao Shi to give up, Lao Shi responded with silence.

Perhaps because of Lao Shi's silence, their tone slowly became more unpleasant, and similarly, because of Lao Shi's silence, the traditional literary circle and people who are familiar with him have gradually given Lao Shi a lot of nicknames.

Like the old stubborn, the madman.

For example, the nickname of the clown.

However, no matter how ugly others say, and no matter what others call him, Lao Shi doesn't care, and he won't listen to their advice to quit the game.

Because, Lao Shi has never flinched in his sixty-three years of life since he was born.

Moreover, Lao Shi has always had a question, and the answer to that question can only be known when he participates in the competition.

Looking at the mobile phone on the table that kept playing a pleasant ringtone, Lao Shi waved his hand vigorously and slammed the mobile phone from the table to the ground.

With Lao Shi's vigorous wave of his hand, the mobile phone that kept ringing pleasant ringtones finally quieted down, and similarly, this also made Lao Shi's world quiet.

"It doesn't matter if you're a madman or a clown. As long as I can live a clear life in this life, then it doesn't really matter what I do. Lao Shi muttered.

After saying this, Lao Shi turned on the computer and changed the pen name of the participating writer from the "stormy waves" he had used for 30 years to "clown".

Maybe Lao Shi's name change is to tell those who persuade him to quit that he is really a clown.

At this time, Yang Fan was also very troubled. Because, today, there are many people who persuade him not to participate in the upcoming battle of the new six parts.

Not only because the current Yang Fan has already served as the most important spiritual and image pillar of xx.com, but also because they are afraid that the undefeated myth of Yang Fan will be broken.

After all, in order to build momentum in this competition, after Lao Shi, a traditional writer, participated, the conditions for his participants, age and writing years were also relaxed a lot, and he also attracted a large number of old writers who became famous very early to participate.

Among those veteran writers who became famous very early, although they are not recognized by the online literature industry as platinum writers. But there are many real great god writers.

In the eyes of everyone, although Yang Fan is excellent, compared with real god writers, Yang Fan's writing level and reader quality are still much worse.

Especially the hamburger of an urban god writer who started the network announced in this competition, that is a man who ruled for a period of time with a rebirth text.

"You say, should I persist or give up?" Yang Fan, who heard the hamburger competition, looked at Lan with no bottom in his heart.

"Do you think your urban system can compete with hamburgers?" Lan asked, looking at Yang Fan.

"No, I have read his original book "The Great Reversal", whether it is the character portrayal or his plot, I feel that it is one era ahead of the entire entertainment urban online literature classification at that time. Yang Fan went on to say sincerely: "Moreover, his book also created a new genre of entertainment for the copyist. ”

"Then give up, anyway, put your system text on any website, with your current popularity, it won't be difficult to achieve the prescribed goal. Lan gave a pertinent suggestion.

"But..."Although Yang Fan has no confidence, but his heart is as uncomfortable as a cat scratch, because unconsciously Yang Fan has come into contact with many excellent people, and those excellent people have subtly changed him, making him change from peaceful to belligerent character, he is eager to fight with better writers, and he wants to win all the time.

However, his cautious personality has always made him develop not to do things that he is not sure of, and caution is always a double-edged sword, because many times it can help people avoid many dangers. However, because many dangers are avoided, it also makes people lose a lot of opportunities.

It is the so-called wealth and danger. Most of life's opportunities come with danger. Sometimes, working honestly in a lifetime may not be able to grasp the opportunity to earn more.

Seeing that Yang Fan wanted to speak and stopped struggling, Lan suddenly burst out laughing.

"I'm just giving you advice, but, from my personal point of view and from the point of view of what I know about you, I still want you to participate, because, if you don't try, how do you know that you really don't have the strength to compete with him now?"
