Entertainment, I really only know a little

Chapter 214 A peak in the history of pure literature: "Alive"... (Please subscribe)
"Old Xu, the literary market in Zhonglu has been very lively recently. I wonder if you have paid attention to it?"

"After taking a look, there was a sudden explosion of romance works in Zhonglu. This was beyond my expectation."

"Yes, originally our East China romance works had great advantages. Unexpectedly, China China's romance works became popular on their own."

"The main thing is the author named Chu Ying."

"Chu Ying, I've heard of it, but really speaking, the works he wrote are just commercial literature."

Donglu.

Several middle-aged refined scholars in Tingshu Tea House were sitting on the side drinking leisure tea.

Maybe many people don't know them.

But to tell their names, I'm afraid there are few people in the East Continent who don't know them.

That's right.

Among these three people, one is named Xu Taiyuan, the other is named Wang Ruocheng, and the third is named Liu Zhijun.

The three of them are different from ordinary writers in Donglu.

The three of them are all famous writers in Eastern China.

This famous artist does not mean that he is a little famous, but that he has far-reaching influence.

It is different from Donglu romance writers.

The subjects created by the three of them are not those commercial commercial works, but traditional literature, or pure literature.

so-called traditional literature.

It is different from more commercial literary works.

Generally, such works do not take commercial communication as the first feature, but take literary quality as the first consideration.

So generally the representative types of such works include poetry, prose, and novels.

in it.

Pure literary novels are the most representative.

The novels here are not like romance, martial arts, science fiction...general genre novels.

The novels here are generally works with more realistic themes.

If for example.

Those are the works created by writers like Teacher Mo Yan in previous lives.

So.

Although a very amazing writer Chu Ying appeared on Zhonglu's side, the three people's evaluation was an understatement.

in their eyes.

They did not take a writer like Chu Ying seriously at all.

On the one hand, they believe that novels of this type do not have much literary value.

On the other hand, they also believe that their level is higher than Chu Ying.

There is another aspect.

That is their greatest confidence.

In terms of sales and reputation, their works are not inferior to Chu Ying's.

Yes.

Don’t think that sales of traditional novels are low.

This is true for most traditional writers.

but.

For those top celebrities, their sales volume may not be comparable to that of best-selling novel writers.

The reason for such sales.

On the one hand, these literary works are indeed classics.

On the other hand, it is also because these literary works have accumulated over time and have been recognized by the public.

and so.

Over the years, these works have achieved terrifying sales.

These well-written works are generally called classic literature.

"However, even though it is commercial literature, it has such a large sales volume and is still influential. Especially now that young people are impetuous, they do not have too much discernment."

"That too."

"So, Lao Xu, are you planning to take action?"

"I originally didn't want to take action. However, these guys didn't live up to their expectations."

"It's really disappointing."

Wang Ruocheng also nodded: "Before, I always thought they had a few brushes when writing romance, but after pulling it out, I realized that it was just like this."

"So, in the end, only we can take action."

"Old Xu, you haven't had any new works in the past five years. In these five years, you won't have a masterpiece."

"I don't dare to call it a masterpiece, but I think I am more satisfied with this book than any previous one."

"Then congratulations in advance."

The few of them chatted for a while and then left separately.

……

time thereafter.

The literary market in Central China and East China is relatively quiet.

Probably because they know how powerful the romance aspect of Zhonglu is, Donglu doesn’t take much action.

of course.

There has also been a lot of silence in the area of ​​Donglu online literature.

Just on the other side.

Many people didn't pay attention.

In other words, in places where many people don’t pay too much attention, some of Donglu’s works are quietly and continuously leaking out.

For example, in newspapers, magazines, extracurricular books, school recommended book series... this area.

Dozens of works from the Eastern Continent suddenly entered the Central Mainland market.

"Brothers, I feel something is wrong."

"What's wrong?"

"Have you noticed that many literary works from the Eastern Continent have recently entered our Central Continent?"

"Didn't he get destroyed by Boss Chu Ying?"

"It was wiped out, but I'm talking about traditional literature."

"Traditional literature?"

"Yes, take a look, my son's school recently recommended a book written by a writer from the East China Sea."

"This is nothing, it should be normal communication between the two parties."

"maybe."

at this time.

Some people found a clue.

However, this phenomenon is not necessarily a bad thing. After all, some good articles and works also need to learn from each other.

just.

as time goes by.

However, more and more Donglu works are constantly entering the Central Mainland market.

"It's not right, it's not right."

"What's wrong?"

"As I said before, have you noticed that many works from the East Continent have entered our Central Continent?"

"Is there, why didn't I find it?"

"Of course you haven't noticed that these books are mainly circulated on campus."

"Oh...how was your writing?"

"I don't know how to evaluate it. It looks okay, but I always feel weird."

"What's so weird?"

"For example, this book "The Wandering Wind" seems to be a relatively inspirational story, but many of the ideas in it are somewhat different from those in China. For example, the freedom they advocate, although we also admire Freedom, but I took a look, and their freedom seems to be freedom without too much bottom line."

"Then don't you just stop reading these books?"

"I don't watch it, but the problem is that children will watch it. And even if we watch it, we may not be affected much. But if children watch it, the impact will be great."

"I'll go. Now that you say it, this matter is serious."

Compared to genre commercial novels.

The influence of traditional literature is actually much greater.

Although it seems that it does not sell well in the market, you may not even buy such a book in many cases.

but.

These books can often have a lifelong impact.

Especially on campus.

When you come into contact with these books on campus, you will be greatly affected.

……

"Brothers, have you read a book called "The Wandering Wind"?"

"No."

"Then take a look."

"Does it look good?"

"It's so good. It's a novel from Donglu. It's very well written. The protagonist is very inspiring and has good thoughts. It's a rare classic in recent times."

"Okay, I'll go see it."

Donglu’s foundation is still very strong.

In these works, he showed great destructive power just by attacking in just an instant.

Although in terms of sales, it is still unable to compare with those types of commercial novels.

But his influence has completely exceeded.

In particular, "The Wandering Wind" written by "Seo Tae-won" has caused a trend.

Except for a lot of students buying it.

Even some friends who don’t usually read books are ready to buy this book.

This situation also greatly stimulated the sales of "Wandering Wind".

It only took two weeks.

This book has already entered the top ten sales of Zhonglu Books that day.

To know.This top ten position.

At this time, I have been occupied by Chu Ying’s novels.

"Boss Chu Ying, the situation is not good."

"What's wrong?"

"One of Donglu's works has entered the top ten on the sales list."

"Oh?"

Chen Yi didn't show much surprise at this.

After just one glance, he paid no more attention.

I had already sold enough copies of Aunt Qiong Yao's works when I moved them.

Chen Yi never thought that Aunt Qiongyao's works would always dominate the charts.

just.

Chen Yi didn't pay much attention.

This novel seems to be a cheat.

Originally this novel only occupied the No.10 position.

But the next day, he squeezed into the No. 7 position.

On the third day, it has reached the fifth position.

This speed also scared many people.

"Everyone, watch "The Wandering Wind", it's too scary."

"It's really scary. By the way, has pure literature ever sold so well?"

"I've never heard of it, but this novel has indeed created a miracle."

Many people were extremely surprised.

But the miracles continue.

Seventh day.

"Wandering Wind" actually squeezed out Chu Ying's position and won the first place.

"First?"

"One million copies?"

"I……"

When seeing this number, Chen Yi couldn't believe it.

"Boss Chu Ying, your anus has been exploded."

A group of readers interacted with Chen Yi on Weibo.

Chen Yi was also stunned: "Is this Donglu work so well written?"

"It's necessary. The reputation is much better than the few romance novels you wrote. My son is reading them."

"I'll study it."

did not expect.

Donglu’s strength is actually so strong.

He didn't pay much attention to them, but he managed to attack his own crystal position in such a short time.

Not much to say.

Chen Yi bought "Wandering Wind" that day.

It took Chen Yi one day to finish reading this book.

"Really good."

This is Chen Yi's evaluation.

After all, Donglu is still pretty good.

This book performs well in all aspects.

Whether it's the words he uses, the thoughts he wants to express, or the opinions revealed throughout the book.

He is very able to influence people.

It's just that although Chen Yi rated it as really good, it was still really good.

"Boss Chu Ying, how about this book?"

"is acceptable."

"is acceptable?"

"how?"

"Boss Chu Ying, are you drifting?"

"No."

"Why don't you just say it's not bad?"

"It's indeed pretty good. Do I have to say it's a classic, awesome, or a masterpiece?"

"233...Boss Chu Ying, judging from this, you can also write such a work?"

"This is basic operation."

"Boss Chu Ying, don't brag. What I write is not a commercial novel. This is traditional literature. No, this is pure literature. Pure literature, although we don't read it much at ordinary times, but it's well written and really awesome. Forcing Karas.”

Yes.

What kind of subject matter is the most representative of literature?

Not romance novels, not martial arts novels, not science fiction novels, not even online novels, but pure literature.

Of course, not everyone agrees with this point.

But it doesn't matter if you don't agree with it.

The important thing is.

Basically all the top literary awards in various continents are awarded to pure literature.

Even if there are awards for genre literature.

It is just to add the title of a genre novel to these literary works.

For example, the XX Literary Online Novel Award.

But there is only one most important thing, and that is the XX Literature Award.

Even some literary awards have multiple categories, such as the XX Literary Prose Award and the XX Literary Novel Award.

But there is absolutely no XX Literary Martial Arts Novel Award, or Romance Novel Award.

and so.

With genre novels, you can gain sales and fame, but you cannot gain official recognition.

Only pure literature can gain official recognition as a whole.

undoubtedly.

This book "The Wandering Wind" is the kind of pure literature that can easily gain official recognition.

"By the way, can you write pure literature?"

"What do you mean, apart from not having children, I can do everything. Pure literature is nothing."

"Boss Chu Ying, is it real or fake?"

"of course it's true."

Chen Yi naturally cannot write pure literature.

Or even if you can write, your writing is very average.

But it doesn’t matter if Chen Yi can’t write.

He can carry it.

as now.

Chen Yi was thinking, which master's work from the past should he carry?
That's right.

In Chen Yi's memory, there were a lot of writers in his previous life, who were much more powerful than these so-called pure literary authors from the Eastern Continent.

Thinking of this, Chen Yi sent a message to "Xiaochun" from Chenyang Publishing House.

"Teacher Chu Ying, do you have a new book?"

"Teacher Xiaochun, how do you know?"

"Oh, except for chatting with me about new books, you don't talk to me about anything else. It makes me so depressed. I can't even try to have a relationship with you."

"Haha, mainly because I don't have time."

"I understand. After all, you have written so many books in a row."

"Yes, yes. Now I have to write books for more than ten hours every day. I am exhausted, so I don't usually chat much."

Chen Yi wouldn't be embarrassed about such a shameless thing.

"Boss Chu Ying, what kind of work is this time?"

"Pure literature."

"Pure literature?"

Editor Xiaochun was stunned: "Teacher Chu Ying, can you write pure literature?"

"I know a little bit, but there are some things I don't understand and I want to ask you."

"You say."

"How come Donglu's "The Wandering Wind" sells so well? According to the market mechanism, it is impossible for pure literature to outsell genre commercial best-selling works."

"In principle, this is the case, but there are exceptions."

Xiaochun explained: "In terms of appeal, pure literature is not as attractive as genre novels. But in terms of literary nature, the literary nature of pure literature is much stronger than genre novels. Ordinary pure literature may not It attracts everyone's attention, and some even print 5000 copies but cannot sell it. However, once this pure literature has formed a huge reputation, its sales will be extremely terrifying. Not to mention other readers, even schools, education For this audience, he can push this work to the top."

"So it is."

"And not only that, it was recently reported that "The Wandering Wind" has been submitted for selection for the Maotan Award. Some people even say that it is very likely to win the Maotan Award. This has also stimulated the sales of this book."

"No wonder."

"For this reason, many writers in mainland China have recently released hundreds of purely literary works, but unfortunately, their performance has been average."

Chen Yi nodded.

After thinking about it, Chen Yi said again: "In other words, if there is an excellent pure literary work, it does not require special operations, and sales will naturally increase."

"Correct."

Xiaochun said with certainty: "But the premise is that this pure literature must be excellent enough, but there is no standard for this excellence. Therefore, in this regard, it is also a big challenge. Otherwise, even if it is published, it may No one cares about it either.”

"Okay, I'll send it to your email later."

Finished communicating with Xiaochun.

The first time, Chen Yi purchased a book through the system.

The name of this book is "Alive", and the original author is named Yu Hua.

but.

Now... call Chu Ying.
