From abandoned baby to CEO

Before starting the lecture, Teacher Xu looked at everyone with a smile.

    "Students, we are all the best writers from our respective cities. Many of them have been writing novels for many years. I would like to hear your opinions on novels and dramas."

    Immediately, a classmate stood up and said: "First of all, the subject matter is different, the expression method is different, and the background is also different."

    Teacher Xu nodded: "This classmate said it well. Do you have any other opinions?"

    There was silence in the classroom, and everyone seemed to be under pressure to speak in front of the master.

    "Everyone can speak freely and say whatever comes to mind."

    Teacher Xu looked around the classroom and caught a glimpse of Xu Chen sitting in the back row.

    "Xu Chen, you are the student representative, please share your understanding."

    The students all looked at Xu Chen.

    Xu Chen stood up with a faint smile on his face: "Then let me talk about my superficial views."

    "I feel that in the world of novels, readers seem to be immersed in an endless sea of ​​stories. The characters in the novel are lifelike, their fates are intertwined between the lines, and readers experience joy, anger, sorrow and joy together with the author's writing."

    "Theater art is another unique experience. Actors use their bodies and voices to bring the story to life in front of the audience."

    "Although novels and dramatic art are in different forms, they both have unique charms. They touch people's hearts in their own ways, allowing us to immerse ourselves in wonderful stories and appreciate the charm of literature and art."

    As soon as Xu Chen finished speaking, he won a round of applause from his classmates.

    The squad leader is indeed the squad leader. Not only does he write well, but his eloquence is also first-rate. The thinking is clear and the expression is fluent, which is really extraordinary.

    Teacher Xu nodded and smiled: "Xu Chen understood it well and explained it very well."

    Sun Xue cast an admiring look at Xu Chen, applauded vigorously, and said casually: "Xu Chen, what you said was great!"

    When Teacher Xu heard this, he made a gesture: "The classmate next to Xu Chen, if I remember correctly, you are also the representative who speaks. You can also talk about your own understanding by the way."

    After saying that, Teacher Xu looked at Sun Xue with a kind face.

    Sun Xue stood up slowly, a smile froze on his face, and his mind went blank for a moment.

    She had never dabbled in drama knowledge, so she didn't know the difference between the two.

    Teacher Xu smiled and encouraged: "I can safely say that the purpose of our study is to discuss with each other. There is nothing right or wrong."

    Sun Xue's face turned red: "Teacher Xu, I... I write online novels, and I don't know much about drama..."

    "Oh. Are you an online novel writer? I've heard of it. I've never read online novels myself, but my son who is in college is particularly obsessed with it."

    "He doesn't like to read my novels. He says that the novels I write are too profound. Reading online novels is enjoyable without having to use your brain."

    Teacher Xu may have made a joke casually, but it made the classmates burst into laughter.

    The classroom, which was quiet just now, immediately became lively.

    "Yes, my daughter, who is in high school, does the same. She holds a mobile phone and reads online novels every day."

    "Are online novels the same as those martial arts novels on the market that feature fighting and killing?"

    "I never read online novels. There are a bunch of messy advertisements on them."

    ……

    The students were all talking about online novels.

    Hearing these voices, Sun Xue's face turned even redder.

    Just when the students were all expressing their opinions on the online novel.

    Xu Chen, who was beside Sun Xue, stood up from his seat.

    He cleared his throat and said, "I think everyone's views on online novels are still a bit one-sided."

    He deliberately raised his voice, and after hearing his words, the classroom gradually became quiet.

    Teacher Xu also looked at Xu Chen with a smile.

    "I don't object to the fact that there are a lot of online novels that are of really poor quality, with little writing style and little depth. Moreover, the literacy level of some online novel readers is indeed generally low."

    "But we can't completely deny online novels based on one point. More than 90% of our classmates are engaged in traditional literary creation, including myself. But I have read the online novels written by Sun Xue very seriously, and they are very good. "

    Immediately, a male classmate in his fifties retorted unconvinced:

    "If online novels are so good, then I would like to conduct a survey. How many people here have read online novels? You can raise your hands to indicate."

    As soon as these words came out, the students all looked at each other, and only five or six people raised their hands reluctantly.

    There was no pride in the expressions of those people, but rather a feeling of hiding something.

    The man looked at it and smiled: "I have no intention of targeting Writer Sun. I just think that online novels are only a very niche market, and in the field of literature they can only be regarded as the icing on the cake. Traditional literature still dominates and leads the market."

    Although the man's words did not win applause from his classmates. However, it can be seen from the expressions of other students that everyone still strongly supports the man's point of view.

    The atmosphere in the classroom was a bit awkward. Of course, the most embarrassing person was Sun Xue.

    She was aware of this before coming. There is still a lot of prejudice against online writers, including online novels.

    She felt that all the classmates' eyes were focused on her, and she suddenly became nervous.

    Unexpectedly, Xu Chen asked the classmate with a calm smile.

    "Excuse me, teacher, have you ever published a physical book?"

    The man answered confidently: "Of course there is. I have published five physical books so far."

    "Then how many sales did your five books have in total?"

    The man thought for a moment and said, "There are four hundred thousand volumes in total."

    When the students heard this, they began to discuss quietly. This result was relatively good.

    Xu Chen nodded: "The results are very good. Then I also want to ask, do you have any novels adapted into movies?"

    The man shook his head.

    Xu Chen smiled and said calmly: "If I tell you, Sun Xue has more than 600,000 fans on the online novel platform. The sales of one physical book exceeded 700,000, and there are two more The novel has been adapted into a film and television, which should be a pretty good result, right?”

    After Xu Chen finished speaking, the students all looked at Sun Xue with wide eyes, and the classroom began to become agitated.

    "More than 600,000 fans, it's impossible, right?"

    “Can online novels be adapted into movies?”

    "A book sells 700,000 copies, which is a lot of money..."

    ……

    While the students were all talking quietly, Gao Sheng stood up and said, "I would like to add a few words here."

    "I used to be a traditional writer myself, and then I came into contact with online literature by chance. I met Sun Xue at an awards ceremony held by an online novel platform a few years ago. She was a dark horse in that competition. Won first prize.”

    "I was a little unconvinced at the time. I thought I was better than her in terms of essay writing and literary skills."

    "But I had to be convinced. Her works have won the love of countless fans. Later, I calmed down and read her works carefully, and found that there are many things worth learning from her works."

    "She is now a well-deserved god in the entire Internet literary world, and this is just the beginning. With her current development momentum, she will create more myths. Not to mention hundreds of thousands of fans, she may have millions of fans in the future ”

    "It is no exaggeration to say that her own valuable brand will bring a market worth tens of millions or even hundreds of millions."

    There was silence in the classroom, and the students were all dumbfounded.

    Gao Sheng paused and continued: "As writers, we should continue to embrace new things, such as online novels, which are booming. In the field of literature, traditional literature and online literature are not a question of which is more important. I I think it should be more like a hundred flowers blooming.”

    "If you have time, you can read Sun Xue's works. Maybe you will have a new understanding of online literature."

    After Gao Sheng finished speaking, the quiet classroom immediately burst into applause.
