Chapter 8 "Agreed" writer

The tip of the pen is also pointed, and it needs to be drilled. The narrowness of the road, the present, the present, the same as the living road, so ) had no choice but to stab at the exaggeration of the advertisements in literary magazines.Looking at the advertisements in magazines, all the authors are writers, and the Chinese literary world seems to be in full swing, but it also arouses humming in the nostrils.However, there are no writers whose works have been kept for a lifetime, waiting to be excavated by the archaeological team, and even poets who write their own works, bind them into thin volumes, and distribute them to friends are rare.Now I write a manuscript the previous week, publish it in the newspaper the next week, cut and paste it last month, and publish the book next month, mostly just for the manuscript fee.If it is said that the author is starving and concentrating on serving the society, I am afraid that I will blush a little.Even Gao Shi, who needs royalties for laughing at people, still has to ask for royalties for his mocking article.But of course, literary giants who have other salaries, or who can be supported by women's dowry, do not belong to this category.

Generally speaking, the root cause is to sell money, so the various literary giants in Shanghai, due to "agreement", are "long-time husbands, and it is not a day" [2]. After the merchants printed a manuscript, if the feudalism was in power at that time, the advertisement would say that the author was a feudal literary master, and when the revolution was in progress, he would be a revolutionary literary master, so a group of literary masters were named.Other books were also printed, and another kind of advertisement said that those authors were not real feudal or revolutionary writers, but the ones here were the real ones, so another batch of writers were sealed.Another family published various advertisements and debates, one author added some criticism, and another new writer came out.

Another way is to combine a set of roles, ask a few poets, a few novelists, and a critic, discuss it, set up some kind of society, put up advertisements, knock down other writers, and promote this writer, and the result can always be sealed. Appointing a group of literary giants is also a kind of "agreement". Generally speaking, the root cause is to sell money, so the subsequent book prices inevitably point out the true value of the writers.But there is one exception: although the shops are sold out and the works are sold at cheap prices, it is not that the writers have come to an end, it means that they have "climbed up" and entered universities and government offices, so they don't want this stepping stool.

In Qing Dynasty Liang Zhangju's "Zhiyi Conghua" Volume 24 once quoted such a sentence: "It's been a long time , it has not been a day for thousands of years."
