Chapter 235: Despised
Zengzi College is located in the southern suburbs of Yanjing, which is far away from the city.
However, no matter how far away it is, Zengzi Academy, as the highest institution of Chinese Literature College, has always been a holy place in the minds of literary people.
According to industry insiders, more than 90% of the authors of the highest literary "Maoshi Literature Award" in China have participated in the training of Zengzi Academy.
Therefore, authors who want to win awards and who want to spend a layer of gold on their resumes dream of participating in Zengzi Academy training.
It’s just a pity that not all writers are eligible to participate in the training.
Those who can participate in the training are either first-class writers in the industry or representatives of a certain type. Basically, it is impossible for Zengzi Academy to have an unknown writer.
At this time, at 8 a.m., first-class writers of all types in China had arrived at Zengzi Academy one after another.
"Ouyang, are you here too?"
"Haha, come here with a thick face."
"How can you be shameless? Writer Ji, you are a martial arts rookie recently. Even the media was shocked. It is really gratifying that Writer Ji's martial arts works have made martial arts reborn."
Suddenly another person walked out from behind and said with a smile.
"Oh, who did I say it is? It turns out that it is Lao Liu. Your latest work, Qianlong Dynasty, was praised by Teacher Yan Bing. Don't tease us niche martial arts writers. It's incomparable to you serious writers."
Ouyang Dong, Ji Yun, and several writers whose pen name is "Lao Liu" have known each other for a long time. As soon as they summoned each other, they sat waiting for the authors and chatted with each other.
"Old Liu. This time, it is said that 17 writers from Zengzi Academy participated in the training. There were two more than the previous period."
"I also heard this news. Usually there are 15 people, but I don't know why there are two more this time."
"Ha, Lao Liu, let me tell you. The two extras are not from our circle."
"It's not our circle, so what are they doing?"
"Haha, Lao Liu, you don't understand this. It is said that the two are online writers who write online novels."
Ji Yun took the word "writer" very seriously, and Lao Liu and Ouyang Dong suddenly realized when they heard this.
"It turns out I wrote online novels."
Old Liu was surprised, "Ji Yun, what's going on? Has their level of writing online novels reached the level of participating in Zengzi Academy's training?"
"Tsk, just them, let's practice for another ten years."
Ouyang Dong smiled sarcastically, "It's not that I'm prejudiced to online writers. Look at what novels they write. A few years ago, it was said that an online writer wrote a book called "How the bad guys were trained, and it tells the story of how they became gangsters. Let's not talk about how such novels are written. With such a view, I really can't believe that if children today read such works, they will take any evil paths."
"I have also read some novels they wrote, and their writing style is like primary school students. Writing novels is like speaking normally, which is too low for writing. If you give such novels to others, others think it is so easy to become a writer. Look at some novels they write, probably many readers think that they may be worse than themselves."
"I don't know why this time, but I actually called these online writers over."
"What's the matter? Although I don't have any insider information, let's take a look at this year's writer rankings. The income of the number one online writer is completely overwhelming as traditional writers. I don't know if the country is scared by the royalties given by online writers and they think that the works they wrote are very good?"
"I guess this is possible."
Several popular writers nodded while chatting, and from time to time, they often guided the country, and became a master of literature in a generation.
On the other side, there were a few people sitting in the office of the President of Zengzi College, discussing something.
"Dean, this period of writers who participated in Zengzi Academy's training have increased a little more than the previous period."
"Wang Yan", director of the Zengzi College's office, took the list and spoke to the Zengzi College's dean "Zeng Chu".
"Look, Ouyang Dong, the number one in the workplace novels, Lao Liu, who wrote about the Qianlong Dynasty, Ji Yun, the mainland "Hou Liang Sheng Wuxia", and the well-known screenwriter Tan Tong, and even the best-selling novel record holder An Ruyu. Oh, by the way, there are two online novel writers."
Putting down the list, Wang Yan looked at the two leaders from the General Administration of Press and Publication sitting next to him.
However, when talking about the online writer, Wang Yan frowned, looked at the two people around him, and said, "Director Li, Director Ji, you have selected these two online writers. What are the two leaders planning to arrange for these two authors?"
"Director Wang, the two writers are here for you. How to arrange it? Of course it is your business. What do you ask me for? "
Li Rong from the General Administration of Press and Publication still said with a cold face and serious smile.
"this……"
"Haha, Director Wang, don't know what you mean?"
Ji Chun, who was on the other hand, habitually started to smooth things over and asked.
"Director Ji, I believe you also know that before, our school trained some traditional writers. For online writers, we have no experience in training. Moreover, our school does not know what your bureau means."
"Director Wang, don't think too much. Online writers are also writers, so just train them as traditional writers."
Ji Chun explained with a smile.
"Can……"
"Okay, Wang Yan and Director Ji have said this. The time is almost over. You can go and receive the authors who come to train first."
"Yes, Dean."
Wang Yan nodded and left the office.
"Director Zeng, it seems that many people in your institute are still very boycotting the online literature."
Seeing Wang Yan leave, Li Rong said.
"Director Li, it's just a freshman in online literature, so it's normal to encounter some obstacles. However, I think that if online novels are really suitable for this era, then these obstacles are nothing."
"oh."
The president Zeng Chu's answer surprised the two of them.
"I didn't expect that President Zeng is so open-minded, and his superiors kept asking us to do work to you."
"Haha, you both are too worried."
As he said that, Zeng Chu stood up.
"I'm going to be honest with you, I've been paying attention to online literature for two years. In fact, if you don't come, I have all the ideas to invite some powerful online writers to our Zengzi Academy for training. For example, Wuhen has written for ten years and tens of millions of words. No traditional writer can compare with this perseverance. However, the most eye-catching thing is this author called the world's No. 1. His latest work, Sword Breaks the Sky, is worth learning from many traditional writers. And a few poems he wrote, which are also good."
"It seems that Dean Zeng has really studied online novels for a while."
"This is nothing. In fact, what I pay most attention to these online writers is not their works, but their persistence in writing and their mentality. This is rare for traditional writers."
As he said that, Zeng Chu shook his head inadvertently.
Zeng Chu felt that the trend was wrong in traditional literature. Anyone who gained a little fame would think that he was the best in the world and was very proud. But looking at the online author group, it was harmonious.
Zeng Chu once opened a vest and added an online author group. Everyone in this author group was very friendly and discussed literary creation from time to time. Although many authors did not write well, in terms of online novels, it was a flop. However, their group of people were very kind and encouraged each other, and the atmosphere was very good.
"Director Zeng, you're right. To be honest, when we first learned about online novels, we were also biased against online literature. However, the more we learned about it, the more we felt that the prospects for online literature were getting bigger and bigger. He had some martial arts novels that broke out decades ago, but he was more vital than martial arts novels. The country also realized the importance of online literature, so we allowed us to absorb two online writers into the orthodox genre."
Ji Chun also nodded and agreed with what the dean said.
"By the way, Dean Zeng, I also agree with the character of an online writer you just mentioned."
At this time, "Li Rong" who had been frigid in his face said, "Let me tell you a story. Back then, three years ago, an author wrote a banned work. We were tasked by the superiors to focus on reviewing these works. At that time, we limited the author's work to delete within ten days. But do you know how that author did it?
Because he was afraid of deleting readers and unable to see the ending of the novel, the author actually took ten days and ten nights to write 1 million words. His body was almost done, and finally gave the readers a happy ending with his will and his dream of writing."
Speaking of this, Li Rong was a little moved.
"Director Zeng, maybe, you may not feel the scene that happened when you hear me telling this story now. To be honest, we were all worried about this young man at that time. Most people really can't do it if they write continuously for ten days and ten nights."
"Director Li, I can feel what you said."
It seems impossible to write 1 million words in ten days and ten nights, but it is precisely because of this impossible that it becomes possible that it is even more touching.
This may be the power of faith and dreams.
Although Zeng Chu didn't know about this at that time, now after listening to Li Rong telling this story, he only felt a picture of himself writing for his dreams.
"What's the name of this author?"
Zeng Chu asked anxiously.
He felt that no matter how good an author is, he felt, but this belief in writing is enough to make everyone respect it.
"That's what you said just now, the world's number one."
