Tang Jieyuan boasted that he wanted to write a painting of Danqing and sell it when he was idle, so as not to let the world make money.
In ancient times, no one lived by selling articles, and they were generally unreliable. There is no patent fee for copyright, and it is difficult to guarantee food and clothing. Otherwise, every great poet's life will highlight his highest office. Du Fu died of poverty, and his works should be named Du Gongbu Collection.
However, the article is shocked that although there is no payment overseas, it is different for a famous emperor to become a famous writer, such as Li Bai, the son of heaven in cloth, the imperial concubine who wants to polish ink, and Lux who takes off his boots, which is very beautiful.
If there is a poem and a half to please the emperor, then he can be promoted and made a fortune. Anyway, this gold-lettered signboard is also enjoyable in Liuxiang, Huajie.
The former writer is a glittering business card, which stands high in the eyes of ordinary people. Gu Long said that he told the girl he liked that he was a writer, and the girl immediately showed her adoring eyes with stars in her eyes.
In today's multimedia era, the golden age of paper media has become a thing of the past. There are tens of millions of online writers who claim to be writing for the whole people. "The times are rewarding people who can write." It is under the encouragement of this slogan that countless people are involved.
As long as you are talented and creative, you can publish books and articles, and you can reap both spiritual and material benefits.
It seems easy to be a writer and make money. Every year, the rich list of online writers, unknown people, become new rich writers because of writing online articles, making people who silently code words feel that the dawn is ahead.
There are more people who publish books at their own expense, and online celebrity writers have joined the writers' association. I don't understand. The chubby big boy next door stayed at home all day and wrote several novels.
Is it true that "writers" are also called "beauties"? No wonder the world thinks it is worthless? !
Recalling the death of Lu Yao, he wrote in a letter to Jia Pingwa:
Shortly after the letter, Lu Yao died. His hopes can only be realized in dreams. If Lu Yao lived today, could he earn money by writing earlier?
Yuanyuan doesn't know. ...
Writers are always valuable. Your question only shows that you don't know the writers of this era in detail. Let's have a look at the detailed list!
(This is the 20 17 rich list of online writers in China).
We have seen the above two lists, and the ones with royalties exceeding10 million can be said to occupy the vast majority. For them, can you say that being a writer is worthless? That's absolutely impossible!
However, it is normal for you to have such doubts. Scholars despise each other since ancient times. People in ancient times became writers basically out of a way to vent their resentment. At that time, writing novels was a dirty job, and people who were frustrated in the imperial examination were idle and bored. They are either comfortable or erotic, or satirize social politics, and they dare not sign it. Most novels in Ming and Qing dynasties have no names, or only names. Ancient writers were not only worthless, but also looked down upon.
As for what you asked, it must be the current situation of writers. In fact, as I said, many writers can hardly be called writers at present. Fiction writers in Ming and Qing dynasties basically studied hard for ten years, with a gap in their chests. Today's writers are literally writers, and some even start writing after graduating from high school and junior high school. Written articles are called bad articles, but the entry threshold for writers is greatly reduced.
Even these third-rate articles are useless to many people. Of course, everyone just reads it, and it won't make us think like reading Mr. Lu Xun's works.
In the long run, the level of writers is getting lower and lower, and the articles they write cater to the audience blindly, without any ideological content, or even different styles of writing, so it is strange that they are not looked down upon!
Therefore, some writers can't be said to be writers, but only writers. For example, writers must be at least Liu, Tie Ning and Mo Yan, which is not worthless. Of course, online novel writers earn a lot of money, but that is always a small part. No one pays attention to the tragic situation of many newcomers!
The so-called writer is worthless, it depends on what kind of writer he is. A big IP like Tang Jiasan Shao is still very valuable. However, realistically speaking, writers in the field of pure literature really live a very ordinary life now. Although some people cite the examples of Han Han and Jing M.Guo to prove that their annual income is tens of millions, they are not writers of pure literature in a strict sense. And their number is very rare.
Nowadays, the publishing industry is depressed, and few writers can sell more than 50 thousand books. This is because there are fewer people studying in today's society. Walking into Xinhua Bookstore is also cold and cheerless, which is not optimistic. And 20 years ago, people were reading everywhere. Don't say it's a big bookstore. There are small bookstores and book stands everywhere in the streets. And now even the newsstands are closed for more than half.
At that time, people's life was not so fast and utilitarian. Nowadays, people, first of all, have various forms of entertainment and many choices. Since the mobile phone is smart, you can know what is happening in the world without going out. There are many entertainment functions on the mobile phone, such as watching movies, TV series, entertainment stars, beautiful pictures and playing games. How can I be in the mood to study? Second, people are busy studying and working now. Everyone is busy making money and their minds are full of money. How can they be in the mood to study?
Although people's money bags are bulging now, their ideological level is low. I always think that others do things only for money or for profit.
It is our science popularization workers who sacrifice their time to volunteer science popularization for the people, and they are also slandered for the benefit. Yesterday, I solemnly recommended the writer Tu Youyou (Yuan Yue). I have no goal at all. I just hope that such a good man can expand his influence. The more influential good people are, the more they can compete with bad people, and the country will be stable. However, some people insidiously said that I only wooed him for a certain purpose.
What depreciates the fastest in the world? Some say it's a car, some say it's a mobile phone, some say it's money, and some say it's a degree. In my opinion, the fastest devaluation is the writer.
At a pen meeting, several writers were complaining, and the essayist said, "I published thousands of words before I got 20 yuan." . Another writer said: I have published hundreds of works and still don't give me money. At this time, an essayist said: I give money to the publishing house, and they will publish my works.
It used to be possible for an ordinary little writer to support his family, but now it is impossible. Why is this happening? First of all, things are rare and rare. Now the media is developed, there are too many writers, and the more things, the less valuable they are.
There is also an official certificate, the Writers Association. The number of people is crazy and the threshold is very low, which leads to more and more writers. This situation pities the writers and readers, can't tell the true and false writers, and also dispels the enthusiasm of writers. I hope time can distinguish between high and low.
Why are writers worthless?
Why do writers have to be valuable?
Do writers have to be noble?
Do writers have to earn a high salary?
Does a writer have to be superior?
Bullshit!
There are countless authors who are engaged in literary creation and focus on the publication of papers. However, there is only one Mo Yan, one Liu and one Zheng.
There are tens of millions of writers engaged in online writing, eager to become famous and eager to sell their works. But there is only one Tang family, only one dancer and only one Nanpai uncle.
No matter what kind of works, no matter how many practitioners there are, anyway, everyone only remembers the most famous and profitable ones. ...
Only a handful!
So this is obviously a pyramid structure.
Basically, most people who complain that "writers are worthless" are small writers who rush to the bottom of this pyramid, even young artists who have never touched the pyramid.
They usually think that their writing style is good, but their works just can't be sold, they can't get fame and money, so they are depressed, complaining that the world is unfair, complaining that readers are not up to standard, and they only pursue simple excitement. ...
Ha ha!
really ...
Stupid and naive!
Stupid and childish!
Very "literary" and idiotic. ...
In fact, writing is a job, which is very common and practical.
Without Jin Gangzuan, don't make porcelain!
Publishing is a market.
Publishing houses should make money.
The website is to make money.
Valuable author, people will certainly come up with resources to praise you.
Who cares about you, worthless author?
Doesn't printing and publishing cost money?
Is there no maintenance fee for the website?
So many employees don't get paid and support their families?
Who has the luxury of being hungry to care about the "literary ideals" of street writers and young artists?
Therefore, a writer who thinks he is a writer but is realistic and "worthless" is really worthless.
Then change careers ...
Stop writing ...
Mo Yan started writing to make money, because he can eat jiaozi every day.
Why do you insist on being hungry?
Schopenhauer said, "Living is pain."
Wake up ... that bad old man is bad!
Pain?
Believe that he is a ghost!
He is obviously a well-fed rich second generation, and the maid takes care of him like a baby. ...
The word "writer" was an attractive term in the fifties and sixties, and I admired it very much when I was in middle school. The works of famous writers such as Ba Jin, Mao Dun, Lao She, Zhao Shuli, Ma Feng and Zhou Libo fascinate me. How desirable is the villa, garden, grassland and superior life where writers publish books? Everyone has ulterior motives: to fight for "writers". Writers at that time were so rich. Why are current writers less valuable than previous writers? According to my analysis, there are the following factors: there were not many writers in the fifties and sixties, and there were only a few well-known writers in the country, and the lack was the most expensive. Now, besides the works of Wang Meng, Jia Pingwa and Mo Yan, there are many pingtan works published casually by unknown so-called "writers". Books are flying all over the sky and colorful. People are talking about these writers. Another reason is the rapid development of social sciences. Television, computers, especially mobile phones, all kinds of literary works, news, science and technology, information, movies and plays are all available. People can read novels and movies without leaving home, and spend most of their time on their mobile phones. Few people go to the library to read novels. Not many people buy novels. Even modern newspapers are very popular. No one appreciates a writer's works and his novels can't be sold. Can a writer still be valuable?
Naturally, the title of a writer cannot be listed for sale. It says here that it is worthless, as cheap as the vendors in the same market. Then why is the title of writer so cheap? I don't think the reason lies in one aspect.
The first is the big environment. Various forms of entertainment take away too much leisure time, and those who study are only a few people who yearn for civilization.
More people regard singers, movie stars and comedians as idols, but they don't know who writes books for various stars, let alone who writes novels, poems and reviews.
Why are writers worthless?
Because there are too many people writing.
As we all know, scarcity is precious.
Depreciation is too fast because I don't want it.
Multimedia has changed the world.
Short and fast is the killer.
So many media people
Everyone wants to eat this bowl of rice.
Chicken soup for the soul has turned sour.
Poisonous mushrooms corrode the thin soul.
The so-called experts are like mushrooms after rain.
Turned everyone into a patient
The so-called big coffee cloud mountain fog cover
Anxious to see the world in chaos
And those sprayers
Full of trains.
What cynic? What veteran cadres?
Come and enjoy a free meal.
The essayist said
One thousand words is only twenty yuan.
The essayist said
One hundred comments
Never seen a penny.
The poet smiled.
It's nice to confiscate your money.
To publish a collection of poems, you must be naked.
This is a pen meeting of literati.
But there are still so many people who insist.
What is a writer?
He is a man who has made great achievements in literary creation.
An officially recognized top-down association
All the doors are open.
As long as you have this dream
An inflated heart always has an inflated home.
The keyboard knocked away the glitz of fame and fortune.
It's good to be handy.
I would rather lose money than earn money.
Whether on paper or online.
Shout at the top of one's lungs
Finally I laid an egg.
What a big piece.
Dense and full of aura.
Readers are stunned.
Can't see the size
You can't tell true from false.
Poor writers breed poor readers.
In fact, a real soul engineer
Never devalue
Luoyang Zhigui Times
As early as in people's minds.
This problem should be looked at separately. First of all, see if you feel good about yourself. Many talented people really don't have the opportunity and talent. But there are also some people who are ordinary people, but they are often angry.
Then look at the external environment. Nowadays, with the fast pace of life and the rapid development of multimedia such as mobile phones, many people prefer listening to audio and watching videos instead of reading books.
And many platforms will provide writing opportunities for netizens, so the denominator structure of writers will increase. If you want to succeed, you need to work harder than before!
It doesn't matter if ancient writers are worthless. In this capitalist society, there are really not many writers who have no money.
Cao Xueqin and Pu Songling are starving and have no money.
Who is not a famous rich man in Muye Zhang today?
As for those writers, they are not writers at all, so they don't say whether they have money or not.
The social value of a writer should be valuable.
But now people don't trust any writer.
Money is the last word, people believe this sentence. As for making money like this, I don't care.
