Song Mei was right to worry. After the hot search topic "Ye Zhiqiu's terrifying ability to attract money" continued to ferment for a day, some discordant voices finally appeared.

Unexpectedly, the first people to criticize Ye Zhiqiu were not colleagues from other entertainment companies, but cultural figures.

It may be that in the "Predicted Annual Writers' Income Ranking" chart on Weibo, Ye Zhiqiu's income is leading the way, which has stimulated many people's nerves.

Seeing Ye Zhiqiu's high income for writing "online novels", some "traditional literature" writers can't sit still.

During the opening ceremony of an annual literary essay contest held in Nanjiang City recently, a traditional literature writer burst out and criticized the "online literature" phenomenon represented by Ye Zhiqiu for more than ten minutes.

This traditional literature writer, named Guan Yi, ranked eighth in the "Forecasted Annual Writers' Income Ranking", and his predicted income was just a fraction of Ye Zhiqiu's.

Like the same stone that stirs up a thousand waves, many traditional literary writers at the scene agreed with Guan Yi's views. What was originally an opening of the essay contest and literary exchange event eventually turned into a critical meeting on "Internet Literature" and "Ye Zhiqiu".

Ye Zhiqiu's topic was hot at this time, and as soon as this video was posted, it immediately attracted a lot of attention.

However, things are not over yet.

It seems that as a matter of convention, self-regulation and speaking out are followed by many "traditional literature" writers who have published articles criticizing the chaos of "online literature".

And with "Zhu Xian" and "Sword of Immortal", Ye Zhiqiu, who has earned a huge income, has become a "model".

For a time, Weibo, as well as major newspapers, public accounts, self-media, etc., were full of comments by various traditional literary writers "crusading" "online literature" represented by Ye Zhiqiu.

This topic is not a trivial matter, and it has suddenly aroused heated discussions in society.

When talking about "writers" and "literati" in traditional literature, many people may think that they have an image of being knowledgeable and open-minded, but this is actually quite wrong.

Literati are also human beings and cannot escape human nature. There are many truly cultured and cultivated literati, but there are also some "cultured" bad people.

After all, there is another term called "literati despise each other", and there is also a chain of contempt in the cultural circle.

The most obvious one is that those who write about "traditional literature" look down upon "online literature".

In fact, there has been a lot of debate between "traditional literature" and "online literature" before. However, this time the protagonist Ye Zhiqiu's fame is so great that it suddenly raised the attention of the incident to a higher level.

When Ye Zhiqiu learned that he had been criticized by almost the entire "traditional literature" circle on the Internet, he was a little shocked.

Damn it, how could a novel writer like me attract so many "literary people" to criticize me?

I opened Weibo and took a look, and sure enough, there were many similar comments, and they were directly @ myself.

The most popular one is a video. During the opening ceremony of the "Modern Poetry Competition", a middle-aged man in his forties blushed, spitted, and pointed emotionally.

"In today's era, young people are less and less able to read a truly good literary work. Most of the time they have for reading is spent on online literature - especially online novels!"

"I read the recent popular online novel "Legend of Sword and Fairy", and I couldn't help but feel unhappy. It felt like it was stuck in my throat and it was hard to swallow!"

"The logic is confusing and the language is incomprehensible. There is no doubt that this is a kind of dross! However, the person who wrote this kind of dross has gained so many fans in society, earning tens of millions and billions in income at every turn.

Not to mention it’s the tragedy of this era!”

"Here I sincerely make an appeal to boycott online literature! In exchange for traditional literature, it will be clear and sunny, so that the reading of this generation can return to spiritual food!"

Ye Zhiqiu watched it with great interest, and unexpectedly discovered an "acquaintance" among the guest seats in the video.

Ma Xuemin still owes himself a few apprentices who kowtow.

Continuing to scroll down, as expected, Ma Xuemin also made a speech.

"Online novels have become the representative of online literature, especially the so-called fairy tale style that is prevalent, while other literary forms such as poetry and prose are very rare."

"As a doctoral supervisor in literature, in my opinion, many online novels today are too vulgar in terms of writing but no writing, and plots but no plot. For example, Ye Zhiqiu, the words written by a singer can be imagined, and it is no exaggeration.

To put it bluntly, it is a waste of youth for young people to watch such works."

Ye Zhiqiu curled his lips and swiped down the screen.

Then, I discovered another familiar name - Tang Long.

If Ye Zhiqiu remembered correctly, he was the author of "Blood River", and he was provoking him at the beginning.

Tang Long published the following content: "It goes without saying that the commercial nature of online literature determines that it does not truly respect the laws of literary creation, but is driven by capital."

"The so-called "Zhu Xian" is a clear example. Linking literature with online games has to be said to be the tragedy of this era."

At this time, with the topic number one on the hot search list, the comment area was already filled with huge waves.

Although these traditional literature writers do not have many Weibo fans, each of them has published some book, or is a professor of such and such, a member of such and such Writers Association, etc., and their comments have been approved by many netizens.

"I think it makes sense!"

"Guan Yi's works are very thoughtful and I support him!"

"You're right. No one reads what traditional literary writers work so hard to write, but online novels are becoming more popular!"

"One hundred million is too outrageous. This Ye Zhiqiu shouldn't make that much money at all!"

"This money should be allocated to traditional literature writers to support them!"

However, in addition to echoing voices, there are also many sober netizens.

"Why do I feel that these so-called traditional literary writers are all being mean?"

"Hahahaha, dog authors make too much money, which makes them break the defense."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, this Tang Long made his fortune from his online novel "Blood River". He later became the vice president of the local Writers Association, and now he comes back to criticize online novels. His thick-skinnedness is really unmatched.

"

"I don't think there's any need to specifically pick out trash. These people are spewing trash about online literature. Is there no trash in traditional literature? How can trash be classified as noble or noble?"

"As for the sentence in "Zhu Xian", 'Heaven and earth are not benevolent and treat all things as stupid dogs', even Mr. Qin recognized it. Its literary quality is comparable to that of so-called traditional literary works."

"There is no doubt that none of these self-proclaimed traditional literary writers have ever read "Zhu Xian" and "Sword of Immortality", otherwise they would never be able to say such things."

"I said, um...have they forgotten that Ye Zhiqiu not only writes online novels, he also writes poems. None of those who criticize him have a literary status comparable to his."

This comment awakens the dreamer.
