Grandpa's great writer

Chapter 901 Play

"Hearing what you said, I think this signing model is quite good. Of course, I agree with Mr. Wang's point of view. This signing system cannot have a huge impact on the current literary world. However, it can Playing some very good supporting roles." Linde expressed his opinion with a smile.

Zhang nodded emphatically, motioning for him to continue.

"The writers are also layered, there are some writers like pz..."

"Linde, what you said is unreasonable. There is only one writer like pz." Llorente joked with a smile.

"I'm just giving you an example. It's enough for everyone to understand the meaning. Naturally, a writer like pz doesn't need to think about market issues, because he can make people pay for anything he writes. Therefore, he has a degree of freedom that others don't have. He didn't need to write for the money at all."

Although Linde used Zhang's heavy example, it is applicable to all the writers present.

Even writers with less sales like Feng He and Zhao Re can still do not create for money, because their income is enough to allow them to realize financial freedom.

But how many writers like them are there in the whole country?
Most of them are the kind of writers who can't buy much after writing a book, or even have no chance of publishing it.

Among these writers, some are for fame, some are for ideals, and some are for getting rich.

But no matter what they are for, if they can't see hope for a long time, the things in their hearts will be worn away.Especially those who want to be famous and those who want to get rich, they are the easiest to be defeated.

Although on a certain level, it is a good thing for these two types of people to be defeated.

But when these two types of people are crushed, those who write with ideals will also be crushed. Ideals are sometimes so vulnerable to reality.

Zhang Chong has met some writers who originally had ambitions to become full-time writers, wanting to show their inner world to the world.But after a long time, no one reads the work at all, and the original passion is slowly worn away.

This is not terrible. If you find that you can’t support yourself as a writer, you can find a job, and then use your spare time to write after you are sure you can survive. It is also possible to become a professional writer again.

But I'm afraid of the kind of person who might plunge in because of face, or because he can't pass his own test, even if he hits the south wall, he doesn't want to turn back.

Of course, the contract system cannot save these people. What the contract system can help are writers who have shown potential but need a boost.Signing up not only gives them peace of mind, but also helps them with resources.

To put it more vividly, if a relatively high threshold is set in the literary world, those who are signed are those who have stepped into the threshold with one foot, and a signed contract is the force that drags them in.

Because of Linde's understanding of this aspect, he thinks this contract system is good.

Hearing Linde's praise of the contract system, Liu Yuan became interested. He smiled and asked, "Don't you think the system is not too free?"

After Zhang Zhong translated Liu Yuan's question to Lin De, Lin De said with a smile, "From my own point of view, of course I'm not free, but something like freedom also needs scope and foundation. Besides being unfree In addition, such a system is also prone to corruption. I don’t know the specific contract conditions, but I believe that no matter what the contract conditions are, as long as it is within such a framework, some special operations must be avoided.”

Liu Yuan smiled and said, "You made me change some stereotyped ideas about Americans. But since you also mentioned the problem with the contract system, why do you still agree with it?"

"Because other forms may be even more unbearable. There are very few such things as contracted producers in the United States, but unfair situations often occur. Unfairness will naturally cause unfreedom. There is nothing to say. The entry of the capital market, Although it makes the market more dynamic, it also causes writers to be exploited and squeezed, which itself is a two-sided thing.” Linde said.

Hearing Linde's words, even Zhang Zhong, who had known him for a long time, was a little surprised. Linde's ideology was too Chinese.

This is not evident from his work at all.

In Linde's works, especially in his most well-known "Necromancer" series of novels, there are several plots in which the characters in the books give their lives for freedom.

And the plot is particularly heroic.

Looking at Linde's works, people may think that he is a passionate idealist, but listening to his remarks, he is a full-fledged realist.

Zhang Zhong said, "Your research meeting isn't about discussing the pros and cons of the contract system, is it?"

Wang Yi nodded and said, "Of course not. The signing system is just to draw out the issues we will discuss. Because the Federation of Literary and Art Circles found that the signing system could not achieve the effect they wanted, so this research meeting was organized to discuss a It doesn’t matter if it’s a policy or a program that can achieve results, as long as it achieves results.”

"Well, I understand." Zhang nodded emphatically, but he still had doubts about why the Nanhuai Federation of Literary and Art Circles sought Wang Yi and the others. Things like the Local Federation of Literary and Art Circles still have regional characteristics, and this research meeting is also to discuss and promote The development of local literature in Nanhuai.

Speaking of it, this was also Nan Huai's own business, but they found Wang Yi and others from other provinces.

Wang Yi glanced at Zhang Zhong's expression, and probably guessed what Zhang Zhong was thinking, but he didn't open his mouth to explain Zhang Zhong's confusion.

Liu Yuan continued the topic just now and said, "I'm not very optimistic that this research meeting will be able to discuss a specific result. Several of us have discussed this matter before, but we haven't put forward any new ideas. In other words, let It is impossible for us to come here to help, but we can come here to learn and learn from experience. If we work together to come up with a better plan, we will not be in vain, but this can only be counted on the attendees There are others."

Zhang Zhong shook his head and said, "It is estimated that the Federation of Literary and Art Circles didn't think about asking you to come up with any plans. It is enough for you to come here to give some opinions and give others some inspiration."

Zhuang Yu said with a smile, "It just so happens that today we are so well together, and there are foreign friends, why don't we hold a research meeting first. If we can discuss and come up with a good result, everyone will be happy. If not, it can be regarded as a kind of entertainment. "
