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

Unexpectedly, the first to criticize Ye Zhiqiu were not his peers in other entertainment companies, but cultural figures.

It is probably because of the "Forecasted Annual Writer Income Ranking" chart on Weibo, Ye Zhiqiu's income was leading by a large margin, which stimulated many people's nerves.

Seeing that Ye Zhiqiu, who wrote "online novels", had such a high income, some "traditional literature" writers could not sit still.

At the opening ceremony of an annual literary essay competition held in Nanjiang City recently, a traditional literature writer suddenly stood up 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 Writer Income Ranking", and his predicted income was just a fraction of Ye Zhiqiu's.

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

At this time, the topic of Ye Zhiqiu was hot, and this video immediately attracted great attention as soon as it was released.

However, the matter was not over yet.

It seemed to be a convention. Since Guan Yi spoke out, many "traditional literature" writers followed suit and published articles criticizing the chaos of "online literature".

And Ye Zhiqiu, who had a huge income with "Zhu Xian" and "Xianjian", became a "typical".

For a time, Weibo, along with major newspapers, public accounts, self-media, etc., were all full of remarks by various traditional literature writers "condemning" "online literature" represented by Ye Zhiqiu.

This topic was not a trivial matter and it immediately triggered heated discussions in society.

When it comes to "writers" and "literati" of traditional literature, many people may think that they are images of literary and humble people, but in fact they are greatly wrong.

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

After all, there is a phrase called "literati look down on each other", and there is also a contempt chain in the cultural circle.

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

In fact, the debate between "traditional literature" and "online literature" has been quite a big one before, but this time the protagonist Ye Zhiqiu is so famous that the attention of the incident has been raised to a higher level.

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

Damn, how can a novelist like me attract so many "cultured people" to scold me.

When I opened Weibo, I saw that there were indeed many similar remarks, and they directly @ed me.

The most popular one is a video. At the opening ceremony of the "Modern Poetry Contest", a middle-aged man in his forties was red-faced, spitting, and making emotional comments.

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

"I read the recent popular online novel "Legend of Sword and Fairy", and I can't help but express my feelings. It's like a thorn in my throat and hard to swallow!"

"The logic is confusing and the language is incoherent. There is no doubt that this is a kind of dregs! However, the people who wrote this kind of dregs have so many fans in society, and they can easily earn tens of millions or hundreds of millions of dollars. It has to be said that this is the sadness of this era!"

"Here I sincerely call for a boycott of online literature! In exchange for a bright and sunny day for traditional literature, let this generation of people's reading return to spiritual food!"

Ye Zhiqiu watched it with interest and actually found an "acquaintance" in the guest seat of the video.

Ma Xuemin, I still owe him a few apprentices who kowtow to me.

Scrolling down, as expected, Ma Xuemin also made a statement.

"Online novels have become the spokesperson for online literature, especially the so-called fairy-tale style is popular, while other literary forms such as poetry and prose are rare."

"As a doctoral supervisor of literature, in my opinion, many online novels nowadays have no writing style and no plot, and are too vulgar. For example, the words written by Ye Zhiqiu, a singer, can be imagined. It is no exaggeration to say that young people are wasting their youth by reading such works."

Ye Zhiqiu curled his lips and swiped the screen down again.

Then, he found another familiar name - Tang Long.

If Ye Zhiqiu remembered correctly, he was the author of "Blood Rivers and Lakes", and he had provoked me at the beginning.

Tang LongThe content published is "It is no secret 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 vivid example. It has to be said that linking literature with online games is the sadness of this era."

At this time, under the topic of the first on the hot search list, the comment area has already been a huge wave.

Although these traditional literary writers do not have many Weibo fans, they have published some books, or are professors, members of the Writers Association, and the comments they made have been agreed by many netizens.

"I think it makes sense!"

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

"You are right, the works written by traditional literary writers are not read by anyone, but online novels are sought after!"

"One hundred million is too outrageous, this Ye Zhiqiu should not make so much money at all!"

"This money should be taken out and distributed to traditional literary writers to support them!"

However, in addition to the voices of agreement, there are also many sober netizens.

"Why do I feel that these so-called traditional literature writers are just being sour?"

"Hahaha, these bastard writers make too much money, so they are overwhelmed."

"Tsk tsk tsk, this Tang Long made his fortune with his online novel "Blood Rivers and Lakes", and later became a vice president of the local writers' association. Now he has come back to criticize online novels. His shamelessness is really beyond comparison."

"I don't think we need to pick on garbage. These people criticize online literature for garbage, but is there no garbage in traditional literature? Can garbage be divided into noble types?"

"Even Mr. Qin agrees with the line 'Heaven and Earth are not benevolent, and treat all things as straw dogs' in Zhu Xian. How many so-called traditional literary works can compare to it in terms of literary quality?"

"No doubt, none of those who claim to be traditional literary writers have read Zhu Xian and Xianjian, otherwise they would never say such things."

"I say, that...have they forgotten that Ye Zhiqiu not only writes online novels, he also writes poems. Those who criticize him, none of them can compare to his literary status."

This comment woke people up from their dreams.

Yes! Just based on the poems "Shui Tiao Ge Tou" and "Xia Ke Xing", Ye Zhiqiu beats these so-called writers who speak out.
