The writing road of realism exists, but it takes the courage to be hated

I haven't written a column for a long time, and I'm really busy. What is the writing path of realism? To put it bluntly, are there many book writers, online novelists, and writers who write just to make money? Too much

Just because they are not "simply" writing stories, they may be doing "literary work" at the proposal of the owner, such as: copywriting, editorial, marketing; Internet novelists, screenwriters, lyricists, writers, etc. may be to apply for literary awards The pressure of publishing books, possibly for the development of long-form online novels in China, is a hundred times higher than that of ordinary writers; even a thousand times.
Because what they bear on their shoulders is not unrealistic words like dreams, but life, supporting a family, and the situation that if there is no work output, they may have no money this month.

This is a far cry from the author of the so-called "writing fun" and "writing when you have time".

Wouldn't that be nice? Why be hated? Are you sure?

Absolutely will be hated by many writers if you say you write only for money.
Or to develop in China (everyone knows that China needs to abide by some "rules")
Not only will you be hated by the writer, as long as you have a Taiwan compatriot certificate to prove that you may want to develop in China in the future, even your friends will ask you a bunch of things that seem to be asked by our most hated fans on the other side.

"Are you going to make money on your knees?"
"If you were asked whether you were Taiwanese or Chinese, how would you answer? You can only answer the latter, right?"
"There's a bunch of restrictions over there, are you sure?"

There are a bunch more~! @#$%&*()——+
May I ask if this question is any different from what our least favorite person is doing?
Some people may have received these questions before they even passed the past.
Not to mention a person who might "writing" be his "regular job", what should he do? Slash to feed this profession?
Then this "professional" can be done without it, let's get rid of it.

It's too sad, right? A profession needs to be supported by another profession?

So what if these professional writers don't use slashes or don't want slashes at all? That's another hell. If you go to China for money and life, don't take it too seriously. Isn't this the same as brain drain?
There are Taiwanese writers who can earn millions at the starting point and let him buy a house; life is worry-free, this should be fortunate that " Wow, there are still many people who pay to read novels " instead of " Go and earn RMB? Check to see if you have paid taxes! 』That's the nasty thing about going to China

So what is being hated in Taiwan? That is when you can compromise your creation for money, you will be hated; or when you are actually trying to survive for money, you will be hated (weird?)

Writing in Taiwan is not a very good choice. Even if you step into screenwriting, you will only step into another pit. It is relatively good to authorize in Taiwan or sell out in China.
Because the two are not absolute, sometimes authorization is not necessarily better than selling; the industry and laws are too complicated, skip it. There are too many uncertain factors in full-time writing, that is - where does the money and salary come from?
If it is said that it is based on "invited manuscripts" to tell the truth, the probability is low and there is less money, of course, Taiwan must be - the salary is low. If it is said that it is based on "scripts", sorry, the money is the least, and I have not decided on my own story. right. Because Taiwan is a country where directors come first, not Japan, Europe and the United States.
If you say it's a "novel", don't you say it? Want to make money? Of course, there is only one way to go in China.

Yes, it is so sad. Therefore, sometimes competent professional writers have to submit their articles to bet on the top three. I think this is why the Taiwanese government organizes literary awards from time to time, right? If you don't, you'll be dying.
Therefore, most writers benefit from government invitations, government, corporate and other cultural lectures, or becoming editors of publishing houses. Because there is no money in publishing royalties, they have to keep their writing time extremely low.

Actively trying to find a way to survive is far more important and great than having a dream without money

So why are these writers or writers who haven't stepped into the book yet to be hated for the consideration of "survival"?
I don't know that either. Are you not a writer? Or do you not insist on your own children (I would like to ask this: do you dare to shout at the boss?) Or are you full of business and philistines? I still don't know what those writers who hate business think. As commercial writers, what is it like to be non-commercial? Doing art?

Dreams come true sometimes not necessarily what you dreamed of, sometimes stepping into your unknown hell.

Especially when some platforms "literate people are disrespectful", yes, that is, scholars are disrespectful. What age is it? People who hate business, I'm a young man, don't come near me; is this a line drawing on a primary school table?
When it's too realistic today, in case you meet these people, you will start to wonder - north, what am I doing wrong?
Because for the dream theory, when his dream is stained with business, it is like a white lotus smeared with a little black ink; the eye-catching dream should be pure, and the creation should be sacred.

I just want to say: "In the eyes of writers or screenwriters in our Academy of Culture and Policy, this is just work; we are like writing machines, producing stories all the time. Even with lyrics, we are still just a writing machine for the employer/producer. Create commercial lyrics that everyone is satisfied with in accordance with commercial requirements, text/writing, not too sacred."

To paraphrase what my seniors said to me when they asked me questions about oppression and injustice: " This place is not noble enough to have to do it. "
If writing is a noble thing for most people, it only means that it is not enough hard work and oppression because we have long been paralyzed. If you want to be a realistic writer, I hope you have the courage to step into " hell "
