Boom Q: I’m really convinced, the palette is all over the face and you say we touch porcelain, canned octopus, are your fans selective blindness?

dilemma: eating melon passers-by.First of all, I haven't read the text of Donaldson and canned hairtail, but I want to say that from the perspective of the color palette, the two characters are indeed too similar (.

Nanfang Yunyu: Donaldson hugs his wife! ! !My wife writes hard every day and is bitten by this kind of mad dog. I feel sorry for TT

Xiao Ah is not Xiao Ah: If you co-authored the disabled male protagonist written by your Donaldson, others can’t write it?That Haosheng's essays are plagiarized, right?The domineering president copies the domineering president, the loyal dog copies the loyal dog, everyone is copying~

Dongbian Riying: Those who say that hairtail plagiarized should use their brains. Even if he really copied, he wouldn't be stupid enough to copy a popular author, would he?Tell me some logic, okay? ps. The old man of the original egg circle said that your Donaldson's "The Man Upstairs" is not without black material, so take it easy, children. pps. Don't ask me what the black material is, search for it yourself.

Zhao Xin opened the private message, and the red dots of the new message line after line.Many fans are urging him, canned octopus plagiarized your article, do you know this?Let me know if you know.

There are also private messages from fans of canned hairtail: Can you take care of your fans?You are also an author, you must know how much plagiarism hurts an author's reputation, right?Interested in playing dead?

Canned octopus is Azure's romance writer, and it's been very popular in the past two years—so popular that he, even a writer of Tanmei, knows about this person.Canned Hairtail released a new article last month called "President, I'm Really Wrong". The hero is a handsome and suave disabled man. He lost his calf in a car accident at the age of 15 in order to save the heroine. Ten years later, the heroine applied for the job. Went to the male lead's company, but forgot about the male lead.

This novel was very popular when it was first serialized, and Zhao Xin even saw other danmei authors chasing this novel several times on the homepage of Weibo.But when the fire is on fire, the problem arises.

Plagiarism.

More and more people say that the hero setting of this novel has copied the hero of "The Man Upstairs".

Zhao Xin hasn't read the novel yet, but read the color palette first, and there are indeed many overlaps: the male protagonists are both disabled, both have gloomy personalities because of their disabilities, both often feel inferior, and both are cruel to the people they like Ruthless, I like to watch movies alone...

But such a color palette alone can't explain the problem. Fans may not understand it, but Zhao Xin knows clearly: whether it is plagiarism, netizens can come and go and talk about the color palette, but if it really comes to professional appraisal Level, this does not constitute plagiarism at all.Not to mention intentionally or unintentionally bumping into the character design, many plagiarized articles that directly wash the manuscript and outline, are not all adapted from TV dramas and movies, have they become popular?

Not to mention "plagiarism is the biggest stain on the author". For many authors, RMB is more important than reputation, just as for many readers, good looks are more important than originality.Right from wrong is black and white - not everyone has the ability to distinguish right from wrong, not to mention sometimes, they don't care at all.

So there is no result after arguing and arguing. People will only see what they want to see.

Zhao Xin drank a few sips of fruit tea, closed the Weibo page, expressionless.

He's not going to bother with the matter until the site's officials step in.He has always felt that the most important thing for an author is not popularity, or even reputation—but words.

In this day and age, writing seems to be a very cheap thing, online novels are flooding, and the huge group of authors is like an ocean, and each author is just a drop of water.Novels with hundreds of thousands of words or millions of words can be seen everywhere. Words are like water in a sponge, and there is always a squeeze—but because of this, words are not so worth cherishing.

Cruel?But looking at it from another angle, in ancient times, it might only take a big fire to make a poem disappear from the world.But now, novels published on the Internet can at least last for a long time—even if they are locked, deleted, or banned by relevant departments, they can still be circulated secretly.

In the Internet age, every word written by an author will be remembered by the Internet, no matter whether it is read or not, and how many people read it, these words are always there.

So Zhao Xin thinks that even if his words are not cherished by readers, at least they are worth cherishing by himself—every word is his proof and memory as an author, and he is responsible for every word of his own.And because of this, as an author, all he can do is one thing: write.

Donaldson writes, so Donaldson lives.

Two days later, Zhao Xin saw the internal notification of the match.

The most grand event of 2017, co-organized by Weilan Network, is an unprecedented competition mode in the online literary world-to put it simply, the two companies will send three authors, a total of six authors, to write solitaire.Among the six authors, there are four established authors and two newly promoted authors. Interestingly, they were all anonymous during the competition.

The authors work together to complete a story, and one author updates every day, six days a week, and no update on Monday.The order in which authors are updated will be determined by a lottery, which changes weekly, with a Monday draw.

Solitaire novels adopt a paid reading model. After the competition, the two websites will calculate the average number of subscriptions of the authors' eight updates, add the amount of readers' rewards received by the authors, and the ratings of senior editors and professional scholars to obtain Total score of the six authors.Among them, the number of subscriptions and the amount of rewards accounted for 65% of the total score, and the scores of editors and scholars accounted for 35%. No.1 will receive a reward of 60 RMB and many website promotional benefits, No.2 will receive a reward of 10 RMB, No.35, and the remaining three will receive 1 RMB each.

This is an exciting enough competition, and Zhao Xin has already anticipated the grand occasion during the competition: fanatical fans will reward the author frantically, and countless new accounts will be registered to increase the number of subscriptions.Authors are placed in the situation of artists, all they have to do is to please readers with words.

The phone vibrated twice, and Xu Yihan sent a WeChat message.

Have you seen our format?How about it, are you interested?

Is the canned hairtail copied or not?It's very fierce now, and the new articles on canned hairtail have been getting negative points.

Zhao Xin answered his first question bluntly: Yes, I'm not interested.

As for the second question, he really couldn't answer it, because he didn't read the article on canned octopus—to be precise, he closed it after reading a few pages.The text of the canned hairtail is very fluent and the language is smart, but as the author, he can see at a glance how playful and flattering the attitude behind the text is: the heroine was blocked at the company's door by the underworld because of debts, the handsome red X generation president Sitting in a wheelchair, he calmly called the family forces to solve the problem for the heroine, but then humiliated the heroine—what a joke and flattering story.

While in a daze, the phone vibrated again.

It wasn't Xu Yihan, it was Long Li, the deputy head of the danmei group of Weilan Internet Literature.

The WeChat chat box shows that this is the first WeChat message from Long Li. In fact, Zhao Xin can't remember the last time they communicated.

Long Li said: Are you really not responding?Now someone on the Internet is already picking up... that matter.

Chapter 4

that matter.

Four years later, that incident is still like yesterday.It was about the memory of summer, the heat was steaming, and the slanting afterglow of the setting sun fell on the keyboard of the laptop computer. Looking intently, the tiny dust was flying in the afterglow.That summer was chaos like flying dust.

After a long time, those memories gradually accumulated like dust, hidden in a certain corner of life.

But Zhao Xin knew that they were always there—otherwise he and Long Li would not have tacitly cut off contact like two people who fled in fear of crime.Yes, he remembered, he and Long Li hadn't been in touch for four years.At the end of summer four years ago, Long Li sent him the last QQ message: I have signed up to Weilan as an editor, and I am not in the same company as you. There should be no interaction in the future, and I don’t need this QQ anymore.

And he didn't reply anything.

Zhao Xin replied to Long Li: I saw it.

The other party replied in seconds: What should I do?

Zhao Xin: Send me the Weibo that mentioned that incident.

Soon, Long Li sent a screenshot of Weibo.

Dongbian Riying: "Why, so many people privately trust me to eat melons... Then I will give you some popular science. "The Man Upstairs" is the first novel written by Donaldson after he signed with Haosheng. Fame, not many fans, four or five hundred? I remember that he still had a reader group at that time, and he would bubble up in the group from time to time, but he was not as cold as he is now~~~ Now if you go to his column, you will find "The Man Upstairs" has been locked. Of course, being locked does not affect everyone's reading. You can find resources on the Internet. But! Why is this article locked? Objectively speaking, Donaldson is a writer A very caring person. When cleaning the Internet, some of his old articles were locked because of sensitive words. He modified and unlocked them bit by bit, but "The Man Upstairs" was always locked. Why? Because he didn't write this article at all. Finish. Yes, you read that right, he didn’t finish writing this article at all!!! I can’t find the specific chat records, but Donaldson said it himself in the reader group at that time, he said that he encountered some problems in life , I don't have the energy to continue writing "The Man Upstairs", and I apologize to everyone.
