The writer is the "porter" of the world, and the "world of archetypes" is outlined according to his own aesthetic standards, outlining a unique "world of facsimile". Imitation is not only a craft, but also a creation. Creation can bring great fame and fortune to such "craftsmen", allowing them to stand under the flash of the ** field overnight.
On January 10, the news that a post-00s senior boy wrote an online article with an annual income of one million sparked heated discussions. This is the boy's first online work, and according to analysis, the results of the work can bring millions of income. In addition, the boy was also selected as the 2023 online literature model writer "Twelve Heavenly Kings", and many well-known online writers are from this list.
The selection of exemplary writers of online literature is an annual convention, and it is not much news originally. The so-called "Twelve Heavenly Kings", at best, is only the promotional packaging vocabulary of the event organizer, and such a title has long since the advent of "Journey to the West", which has long "flown into the homes of ordinary people", and it is difficult to set off a storm.
The hot search on this news lies in the post-00s, senior students, online literature, and estimated millions of income. The "estimates" of industry insiders, coupled with college students with no income, and the annual income of millions of yuan are linked to age and status, and the "expected millionaire" in the description can be said to have whetted the appetite of netizens, and it is difficult to think of such news without popularity. On Sina Weibo, netizens were amazed:
This is amazing. It's not easy to write popular online articles, but the web provides a platform after all. "It takes extraordinary talent and accumulation, amazing. "It's hard to find an online writer who earns one million a year! "Such a high income is not something that all online writers can achieve, and writers who can stand out often have unique creative talents and perseverance. ”
I believe that this student on the list is a veritable "model writer of online literature", I believe that he has great talent for online literature, I believe that his imagination is first-class, and I also believe that his pen is tireless, and the generous remuneration is also God's reward for hard work. We should really respect such "exemplary writers".
Watching such a model writer in the social field is in line with people's curious nature and people's nature of favoring money and wealth. The question is, do we care about the potential for a successful role model writer in the future, or do we appreciate his creative talent and hard work, or do we appreciate his rich imagination and immeasurable creativity? If the onlookers lose their goal, the onlookers who can't focus can only become a kind of envy and admiration for money, what is the meaning of such onlookers?
Onlookers of exemplary writers, you may wish to pay more attention to what kind of protagonist he has created, what kind of special experience this protagonist has in the world of prototypes, and it is worth readers to watch the protagonist in the "facsimile" of the exemplary writer. Without the onlookers of the work itself, it can only be a snobbish onlooker, which can increase traffic, but it has little value for the development of online literature and the progress of model writers.
Onlookers may wish to pay more attention to what kind of values he wants to convey, and judge whether such values can conform to China's mainstream values through onlookers. If we ignore the onlookers of the intrinsic value of online literature, vulgar literature that stimulates the senses may also create millions of economic returns, the question is whether that kind of income has moral blood?
The purpose of onlookers is to make model writers more exemplary, to make onlookers more rational and wise, and to let literature develop in onlookers. We hope that our network** will improve next year.
