I Just Want to Copy Books in Peace

The opening ceremony was hosted by another editor-in-chief of Du Caige, the beauty editor of Suspense Channel, Yuanyuan.

This person can't compare to her favorite without makeup, but she can dress up, wear youthful and fashionable clothes, comb her hair with balls, and the two-dimensional wind blows.

Her host Typhoon is also good, witty and humorous, and she is full of witty words. If she is determined to develop into the entertainment industry, it is not hopeless.

Today, the most famous leader of the founding Chinese website is Lu Xudong, the deputy general manager, and Shi Kejian did not show up.

In addition, two early-stage entrepreneurial teams and current executives are present, serving as editor-in-chief and deputy editor-in-chief respectively.

They also knew Du Caige and greeted him warmly before.

At the opening ceremony, there was no bureaucratic practice of "saving the biggest names to the end". Lu Xudong was the first to speak on stage, then the two executives, followed by several channel editors, and then this time. Several senior writers from the Writers Association and representatives of several outstanding writers invited to the training class.

Everyone's speech was not long, and the most nagging Lu Xudong only spoke for more than ten minutes.

Basically find a point, a little divergence and say a few words.

For example, a senior of the Writers Association said that in the future, online literature will merge with mainstream literature as part of popular fiction.

He cites the examples of Fireworks Withering and Hemingway, both of whom have been recognized by mainstream literature.

There is an editor-in-chief of the fantasy channel. The content is to predict the changes of fantasy novels in the next few years. He believes that fantasy authors should focus on training rhythm control, and recommends several novels that he thinks are excellent in rhythm control.

Although everyone didn't speak for a long time, due to the large number of people speaking, Du Caige estimated that it should be able to fill the 2-hour opening ceremony.

Du Caige's speech sequence was relatively late, but he did not deliberately arrange for him to make a summary speech or anything.

After a senior of the Writers Association finished speaking, the host Yuanyuan smiled and introduced: "The next speaker is one of the founders of our founding Chinese website, a major shareholder, and an excellent writer who founded the Chinese website, "The Old Man and the Sea", Hemingway, author of "Zhu Xian" and "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", everyone applauds!"

In the warm applause, Du Caige just arrived on the podium, smiled and nodded to everyone, Yuanyuan threw another big news: "According to reliable information, "The Old Man and the Sea" has basically been shortlisted for this year's Topol Literature Award. Hemingway Will be the first online writer to be shortlisted for the Topol Literature Award!"

The applause was louder, and some authors even had their hands swollen.

"Hemingway, great!"

"Haida, I hope you can win the award! Make some money for our online writers!"

It is undeniable that there are many online writers who write for money, making money makes me happy, without money to write you are paralyzed.

But in fact, many people also hide the pursuit of literature in their hearts.

In Dahuaguo, the most splendid pearl in the palace of literature is the Baiyang Literature Award.

Du Caige made a "press down" gesture and said with a smile: "Maybe everyone now thinks that it is great news that an online writer is shortlisted for the Baiyang Literature Award. But I hope that one day, there will be an award, and its selection scope includes It is not inferior to the Baiyang Literature Award in terms of credibility and social attention.”

Some people in the audience whispered, and even shook their heads and laughed, thinking that he was too whimsical.

"You may think that I am dreaming, to be honest, I don't know if such a day will come, I don't know how long it will take for the mainstream literary world to fully recognize that online novels are also a member of literature. Maybe it will take a long time. , or maybe that day is coming. But I am sure that when the time comes, I will fund a literary award like this, dedicated to promoting the return of online novels to the embrace of mainstream literature.”

"Once Ban Gu said, 'Novelists are popular, and they are built by barnyard officials. Street talk, and Taoism is created by those who say it'. At that time, novels were not recognized as literature. But now who dares to say Fiction is not literature?"

Du Caige's words finally attracted the attention of some people.

They listened carefully,

Show thinking.

"Promoting the acceptance of online novels by the literary world requires the joint efforts of all online writers. I believe that when writing online novels, while making money, you must also have family and country feelings, and have correct aesthetics and values. Although novels are popular reading materials, It's just for people's leisure and entertainment, not to educate the people."

"But if writing online novels is only concerned with the pursuit of novelty and the attention of readers, while ignoring universal values ​​and mainstream aesthetics, ignoring social morality and justice, and ignoring some of the fine traditions of our country, that will only make the development of online novels go away. A dead end."

"Online novels do not need to be very nutritious, but they must not poison the hearts of the people."

Many writers nodded frequently.

"Online writers are also writers. If any writer does not consider his social responsibility when he writes, I don't think he is a qualified writer."

"Of course I don't think it's necessary to set too high requirements for online writers. Every online writer only needs to ask himself one question: Do you dare to show my work to my relatives and friends? Dare to show it to my children?"

"I dare!" Someone shouted from the audience.

...

Du Caige paid attention to controlling the time, and after 5 minutes of speaking, the conversation changed.

"...The founding Chinese website has always been committed to improving the treatment of authors. It must not only be profitable for itself, but also benefit the authors and achieve common prosperity."

"Next, we will pilot a project called 'Omni-Channel Reading'. We will authorize the novels originally owned by the founding Chinese website to be serialized on other novel websites, and pay the authors according to a certain percentage. For example, we put "Zhu Xian" is authorized to a novel website called Han Meimei Chinese website, we don't care how Han Meimei Chinese website sets prices, as long as the other party delivers 50% of all electronic subscription revenue to us. Then our website will share 50% of the revenue with " The author of "Zhu Xian" opened in half. Yes, it's me."

There was laughter from the audience.

"Of course, we will ask the author's consent before authorizing it. But frankly, I will agree. Why not make money if you have money."

"There is also an omni-channel model, which is to package and authorize some of the novels with poor results to other websites, such as Hanmeimei Chinese website. The package price is 1,000 books, and the package price is 2 million, with an average of 2,000 per book. Dollars. Then we don’t care what the other party does. It’s 2,000 yuan per book. We give 1,000 to the author and 1,000 to the website. Of course, in the same way, this also requires the author’s consent.”

"This is only a preliminary idea. The website will conduct a detailed research and demonstration on this matter, and conduct tentatively under the condition of safeguarding the interests of the author."

These remarks were discussed by Du Caige with Lu Xudong and Shi Kejian before, and they were released at this opening ceremony to test the author's intentions.

Although they all felt that the author had no reason not to agree, it was better to try it out first.

Sure enough, after he finished speaking, there was a lot of discussion in the audience.

The authors have expectations and doubts.

Du Caige looked at it and concluded: "About omni-channel promotion, you can talk to me or Mr. Lu during the break. Because this idea is still in preliminary discussion and has not yet been implemented, the editors in charge have not yet Clearly, you should stop harassing the editor."

After Du Caige finished speaking, he naturally received another wave of applause.

Zhong Yi's hands became popular, and I thought that even if I didn't listen to him seriously, I should give him some applause because of his good looks.

What's more, some of the things he said are really worth thinking about, and the height of the station is higher than that of ordinary network writers.

After Du Caige came down, he did not continue to sit in the first row, but went to the back and sat down next to a fair, slightly chubby middle-aged man who wore glasses and was gentle.

Speaking of middle age, it's actually not very suitable. The man looks two years younger than him, he should be in his early 30s.

It's just that the temperament is very calm, giving the impression of a successful middle-aged person.

Just now this person came to the stage and made a speech, and he was one of the writers Du Caige wanted to know most on this trip, and the fireworks faded away.

"You speak very well." The fireworks said sadly.

"you are too polite."

"You're not polite," said Fireworks sadly, pushing up his glasses and smiling, "Those who know me know that I am a very direct person. Well, if I don't like something, I may shut up, but I will never say it. Like. If I say I like a person, like a thing, it must be really like it."

"Your speech is very interesting, really, I am very fortunate that this industry has a leader like you. I believe that under your guidance, the entire industry can develop in an orderly and healthy way, and our online writers can make more money and be able to higher social status."

"When I was chatting with others before, people asked you what you did? I was embarrassed to say that I wrote online novels. Although I made a lot of money, but when I saw other people's strange eyes, people always think that we online writers are I always feel like I can’t keep my head up because I write small nonsense. But if your ideas at Haida can be advanced step by step, sooner or later, we online writers will be able to hold our heads high and say, we are writers.”

Or do you say that people are great gods? Seeing this rainbow fart blowing, let the listeners feel no embarrassment at all, like enjoying the spring breeze, and they are full of self-satisfaction.

When the opening ceremony in the morning finally ended, the fireworks faded and a few people were called.

"Everyone knows each other. Although there was a little friction before, it can be considered that they don't know each other."

"This one is underage at first glance, and the fat man is coffee without sugar. And this, the most handsome, water shrimp. This tall and thin one is garlic toast."

"Long-awaited, long-awaited." Du Caige said politely.

"In front of Haida, I don't dare to be called handsome. Haida, I'm going to open a new book, please give me a chapter!" Pepper Shrimp said with a smile.

"Good to say, good to say."

"Pindao has seen the benefactor." Said the virgin fruit, who was very handsome, like a high school girl.

Coffee unsweetened and garlic toast also greet Du Caige in their own way.
