Chapter 392: Bitter Tea
Today's competition gave Yang Fan a different feeling, in the nearly a year that Yang Fan wrote a book, it was the first time he had seen such a competition that did not rely on the writer's own strength and only relied on canvassing.
Indeed, as the writer from Bear said, being an online writer is just a profession.
And those writers who say that they want to stick to their dreams in the online literature industry are either the kind of newcomer writers who are not afraid of tigers when they are newborns, or those part-time writers who can't make money at the bottom.
These two kinds of writers, because they don't involve too many interests and pressures in all aspects of life, they can often maintain their original intentions.
And there are very few capitalists like Yang Fan who have maintained their original intention after becoming famous and write with their hearts.
This is also the real reason why when Yang Fan participated in the two battles of the Six Divisions, he was considered naïve by many writers.
Dreams are never a substitute for life.
Even, dreams can sometimes lead to nothing!
Today's game once again gave Yang Fan a deeper understanding of his dreams and original intentions.
The next day, in response to yesterday's bloody game, major media made mixed reviews.
Some media believe that the writers of Bear Network deserve to be called writers because they use the right way to compete and show readers the diversity of this profession.
And some media are objecting, because they think this kind of blatant canvassing and begging readers is different from Internet beggars!
However, their opinions have undoubtedly opened up the scars of many professions and those professional brain-dead fans.
In the extralegal land of the Internet, there are countless people with wrong views. Engage in a war of words against the media who disagree.
As everyone knows, their behavior of protecting the master with brain damage can only get a thank you from the "master" at most.
No matter what kind of profession you write a book or engage in, you should actually maintain the dignity and professional ethics of the profession.
In particular, the profession of a writer is a profession that writes books for others to read, and it is necessary to promote something positive and positive, so that those readers who are confused and struggling can find strength in it.
Instead of consuming the enthusiasm and trust of readers!
Soon, the next day's competition began.
Perhaps yesterday's organizers were afraid that canvassing in public would have a bad impact on online articles and affiliated professions, and they all warned these two websites and their writers yesterday.
So much so that in today's game, the writers of both sites have converged a lot on the surface.
However, as for the backyard, that's a bit hard to say.
In the morning game, both sides used code words as a competition, which of course also led to a big gap between the bear net and the dragon net in the morning game.
However, in the afternoon competition, the number of votes for writers on Bear suddenly doubled compared to the number of votes in the morning.
This amazing increase in the number of votes made Longteng.com writers unexpected.
In the face of adversity with twice as many votes as himself, all the writers except for Getaway repeated the mistakes of yesterday.
They looked at the growing gap in a panic, and changed the focus of the code word to the center of gravity of canvassing as yesterday.
In fact, they are not to blame for this change, after all, as young people, it is really difficult for them to calm down in the face of adversity.
However, this shift has once again widened the gap between them.
Xiaoyou looked at this gap, he didn't say anything, today he knew that he would definitely lose again.
It's just that this defeat is much more humiliating than the previous defeat.
He is still insisting on the code word, but in his mind, Yang and the bear writer yesterday have their views on the profession of online writer.
He suddenly became very confused.
Because, he can't tell who is right and who is wrong.
He couldn't tell what was the most important achievement that could ensure a writer's survival in the online literature world.
All he knew was that he had lost again.
In this game, he lost this game with this confusion and those teammates who were also confused.
Although they still finished third, it proves that they and their work is much better than many people, but, again, their patchwork team is beginning to be confused about their future.
Not only them, but many newcomer writers who have just entered the online literature industry are confused when they look at this game.
At the same time, I am thinking about what is most important in the online literature industry.
After today's game, some insiders broke the news about the real reason why in the afternoon, the writer of Bear was able to win by votes in the morning.
The reason is that in the afternoon, they carried out voting lottery activities and large-amount red envelope distribution activities again and again in Weibo and reader QQ groups.
This seemingly unfair approach is actually a daily routine that most writers are accustomed to.
Although many readers on the Internet learned of the revelations, they went to the official website to fight for Longteng writers. But the organizers didn't pay attention to these "enthusiastic" netizens.
Because, it is precisely because of these unspoken rules that the website and the writer can be in a win-win situation.
Moreover, in the eyes of the website, this kind of operation can also be called the strength of the writer!
These discussions about fairness and unfairness only affect those who are confused, as well as those onlookers who do not know the unspoken rules of the online literary world.
For Yang Fan and those writers who have already achieved something, it no longer matters whether they are fair or not, because they are confident that they can crush all challenges with their strength.
In a well-decorated teahouse, Yang Fan and Lao Shi met again.
This time it was Lao Shi who took the initiative to meet Yang Fan, he looked at Yang Fan, who was puzzled about his performance in today's game, and did not speak, but just handed him a cup of bitter tea.
Yang Fan took the bitter tea and slowly sipped the bitter tea.
The bitter tea was very bitter when it was first entered, so bitter that Yang Fan almost vomited it. However, soon, the bitterness of bitter tea turned into a sweetness again.
This bitter and sweet taste may be the charm of this tea.
Yang Fan enjoys this taste very much, because this taste reminds him of his life as a writer, and he has actually been working hard until now.
"How does the tea taste?" Lao Shi smiled and steady Yang Fan.
"Quite appetizing. Yang Fan also smiled.
It seems that with this cup of bitter tea, he has a rough guess about why Lao Shi, who has always written books seriously, used such a method to deal with Longteng writers.
"Two days later, in the final final, I can let you win, don't worry, I won't let you do anything. Lao Shi also took a sip of tea and said to Yang Fan.
Lao Shi looked at Yang Fan with sincerity in his eyes, as if he was proving that he had enough confidence to defeat Yang Fan's xx network.
"If I promise you now, it proves that I have lost now. I don't want to throw in the towel so quickly. ”
Yang Fan paused and then said:
"Besides, I also want to see? traditional literature and online literature, who can have the last laugh?"
