December 24 was originally just a very ordinary day, but due to the hype of Chinese merchants in recent years, Christmas Eve on December 25 has been fired up. Therefore, Christmas Eve originally belonged to Westerners, and there are many people in China. Passed it.

On this day, hotels everywhere are basically full, movie theaters are hard to find, and countless young men and women are waiting for Christmas Eve.

But when I was at work that day, many people found that the number one on Weibo's hot search list was actually the richest list of Internet writers.

what is this? Many people clicked in when they felt curious, and then many people took a deep breath.

This is the 2014 Rich List of Internet Writers by East China Metropolis Daily, and it is also the 9th Rich List of Internet Writers.

The first place is the very familiar Liu family with an income of 65 million. The second place is not the tiger king, nor the tomato, the sweet potato, or even Chenxi, but the Nongfu Spring, which only became popular on the Internet in the second half of this year. A little field.

His royalty income has reached 33.5 million. Of course, many people who pay attention to online literature know that Wang Tao's Blade of Heroes was sold to Qiuqiu for a price of 28 million, which is more than the other seven.

At that time, many people thought that this was a hype of Qiuqiu, whose purpose was to create gods, otherwise they would not spend so much money to buy the copyright of their own website.

You must know that this is an auction. If you want to use this copyright, you can use it directly and give it to several million. Why should it be sent to the auction?

But in any case, 28 million is certain, and the remaining 5 million is uncertain. Could it be that the farmer made more than 5 million in one book?

This is too scary, this is not making money, it is simply stealing money. Many people think that online novels are just pastime, how can there be so many.

Especially some time ago, the East China Metropolis Daily also named the 2014 richest writers list, the highest is the fairy tale king, and the annual income is only more than 19 million.

In the past few years, Han Han and Guo Xiaoming, who were particularly popular, were only about 14 million. A newcomer writer earned 33.5 million in half a year. This is really scary.

Seeing this list, people outside the industry just think it’s easy to make money, but many people in the industry are inevitably sour. Many people think that this is Wang Tao’s hype, first hype himself as an Internet celebrity, and then the book naturally has it. Many people are watching.

It's a pity that this kind of routine is not suitable for them, after all, there are not many talented people like Wang Tao, and everyone can only feel sad.

Of course, many people are not so sad. Soon a Weibo and V-certified Jiang Nan collaborator published a Weibo.

"People nowadays are really inexplicable. Those online novels are full of violence, pornography, and brainless fantasies, and they are actually liked by so many people. I think a good work cannot inspire or touch people, but it is a failure. of."

In fact, he doesn't have many fans, and not many people will see this Weibo, but he has a few people, such as Liu Jiada, such as Tiger King, such as Wang Tao, including Reading Net and East China Metropolis Daily.

Of course Wang Tao didn't know about this, but the editor sent him a message specifically asking him not to respond. I also said that online writers have high incomes in recent years, and many publishing people are jealous. This kind of thing is not a day or two.

Had it not been for the editor to tell him that he did not know about this, Wang Tao had specifically read that Weibo and found out that this so-called author had written several books, but he had never heard of it.

Look at the previously published Weibo. Most of them are congratulations to brother XX and XX for the publication of the new book, and then take a photo to show that they are very supportive of the purchase.

Looking at the individuals at his @, no one responded, but Wang Tao couldn't help but replied decisively.

"China's four masterpieces. Violents have Three Kingdoms and Water Margin, pornographic people have Red Chamber, and brainless fantasies have Westward Journey, but these are the four books that have withstood the test of history."

After replying, Wang Tao didn't read Weibo again, but got busy with his own affairs.

Until 11 o'clock, the editor continued to send pop-ups to Wang Tao. Wang Tao clicked and opened it. The editor asked Wang Tao why he responded, and then said that the person was mad, and there were still many people supporting him.

Wang Tao just clicked on Weibo. After he finished posting his Weibo, a group of fans liked and reposted. Several great gods who were probably told not to reply by the editor also liked Wang Tao's Weibo.

Even Han Han, who was previously published in traditional publications, liked it and replied: “The times are changing. It is useless to stick to the old rules. I don’t think writing a book with a pen is better than a computer. If If that's the case, everyone will use stones to engrave on the wall."

If you don't say that Han Han is Han Han, you can always get the point when you are sarcasm, and Wang Tao can't help but laugh when he sees this.

Looking at the writer who added V, he began to criticize Wang Tao's remarks.

"There are historical figures in the Three Kingdoms. They talk about loyalty to the country and the Water Margin. They talk about the righteousness between friends. The Red Chamber talks about the love between men and women. The Journey to the West talks about Buddhism and Tao. Only in the eyes of people who have wrong thoughts. , You will see violence, pornography, and no-brain fantasies."

When Wang Tao saw this, he gave another reply: "The Three Kingdoms talk about loyalty, why Sima Yi and the Water Margin are the ones who finally captured the world? Why did you accept that Zhaoan brothers died and wounded? The Red Mansion talks about love, why can't Shuangyu be together? If these books are really educational, wouldn’t they teach others not to be loyal, not righteous, and not infatuated, because they won’t end well in the end!"

"This is just the author's writing technique, because the tragedy is impressive, and it is even more reflective."

The writer seemed to be in front of the computer and responded to Wang Tao very quickly.

"You are wrong. The Three Kingdoms is a pseudo-historical novel, because in the end it was Sima Yi who got the world. The Water Margin was the same. The Northern Song Dynasty was not overthrown by the rebels, but was destroyed by the Jin. As for the Red Chamber, it was a semi-autobiographical novel by Mr. Cao. , So the result was a tragic ending. As for the final Westward Journey, it was also because Tang Xuanzang finally returned to Datang." Wang Tao immediately replied.

The writer realized that he was actually caught up in Wang Tao's routine, and finally replied: "Anyway, I don't like those online novels. In addition to fighting and killing, I am fighting and killing."

Wang Tao looked at his reply and shook his head, and replied: "The rise of online novels is particularly due to the rapid pace of society. Reading one book at a time, many people do not have the time and patience. On the contrary, it is online novels, which are serialized. , Is more suitable for modern people’s fragmented access to information. What's more, now that housing prices are so high and young people’s lives are so stressful, everyone naturally likes to read some light-hearted novels. As for what you don’t like, the people like to hear them. You don’t like it, how old are you?!"
