Low Key Star

  Chapter 8 [008] Cedar tree

   Internet access costs two yuan an hour, and membership costs one yuan and five. Anyway, it is close to home. Zhang Yang decisively charged twenty yuan to become a member, and then found a vacant seat in the corner to sit down.

  There was an unfamiliar seal script trademark printed on the monitor, which looked like a "Tang" character. Zhang Yang didn't think it was different. He found the power button and pressed it, and the monitor lit up. A giant dragon with a gradually clear figure flew out of a dazzling and magnificent glacier.

   It fits the style of domestic products in this world.

  Ice Dragon, one of the two major domestic operating systems, was developed by Kunlun Company and occupies a dominant position among domestic computer systems.

  The layout of the keyboard has not changed much. They are all English letters, but there are no Tianzi keys, but Kunlun's trademark.

  Although Zhang Yang's family doesn't have a computer, since junior high school, there have been computer courses in school, so although there are some slight differences in use from the previous life, there is no threshold for getting started.

   Open the built-in browser with the Tuanlong icon, the search engine is called "Ting Ting", the interface is very simple, and there are no promotions, news or advertisements.

   Zhang Yang looked at the blank search bar, but didn't know what to search for for a moment, hesitated for a while, and then entered the word "Zhang Yang".

  Press the Enter key to search, and the search results immediately pop up.

  The first article is similar to the previous Baidu Encyclopedia's "Listen to the World" introduction: "Zhang Yang, Chinese vocabulary, pinyin: zhāngyáng, phonetic: ㄓㄤㄧㄤˊ, explanation: Xuanyang; Zhang Zhang."

   Then there are introductions or reports of some people with the same name.

   It’s not me, Zhang Yang has no interest, so after thinking about it, he typed in the three characters “Luo Shengyong”.

  The first entry is not an entry in Diting World, but a website called "Xia Ke Literature Network", and the keyword displayed is online reading of Luo Shengyong's works.

Zhang Yang clicked in and found that it is an online novel reading website, but the content is all paid for. There is a comment function, but there are almost no comments, only a few, and he sighed, "It's a pity that Luo Laofeng's pen is too bad", "Luo Shengyong will come again There are no "Four Great Masters" and the like.

   There is no need to read the old man's life, Zhang Yang entered the word "novel" to search again, and this time most of the sites he found were novel websites.

  Sorted by search, there are Hanchuang Literature Network, Jinbang Literature Network, Knight Literature Network, Unlimited Novels Network, Dian Chinese Network, etc.

Zhang Yang quickly checked the information on various websites, and soon had a general understanding. Although computers have begun to become popular, the current platforms for martial arts novels are still literature, magazines and newspapers. Ranked by influence, they are mainly Jinbang, Xiake and Hanchuang. The rest are useless.

  The three families have their own advantages. The gold list has two of the four great masters of martial arts, and the knight has the longest history and has a strong hematopoietic ability.

  Han Chuang has the shortest history. The only top writer, Song Yafeng, has just joined the Big Four. His foundation is not as good as the other three. Relatively speaking, he is relatively weak, but his influence on the Internet is far greater than that of the other three, and he has a good reputation.

  As a beneficiary, Zhang Yang is well aware of the bright future of Internet literature. After learning about this, his heart is slightly tilted toward Hanchuang. He searched for the address and found that it is a coincidence that the headquarters of Hanchuang Literature.com is in Qingcheng!

After thinking for a while, he reopened the Hanchuang Literature Network, looked at the current development of online literature, and found a few novels at random to browse through, and suddenly he was full of a feeling of "If labor and capital write online novels at this time, It is definitely the strong positive energy of a monumental god".

  —Network literature has also appeared, but it is far from being successful. It can only be regarded as the ignorance period or the bronze period, and it is far from glory.

  In contrast, although martial arts novels with magazines as the main carrier are in decline, they cannot compete with online novels in terms of influence or number of readers.

  Since he still shoulders the great mission and lofty ideal of being a star and a scumbag, Zhang Yang went to search the current entertainment fields such as music, film and television, comics, etc., and immediately felt a sense of familiarity.

  Western Culture Invasion!

This is mainly reflected in the circle of young people. Huaxia can only do martial arts in this regard, but most of the authors are old people. The words and sentences in the novel are exquisite. The threshold for reading is not high, but it tests patience. It's all those old-fashioned plots and pictures.

   Judging from Zhang Yang's remarks on the Internet, many people are worried about this.

  “Young people like foreign things more and more. Who will inherit traditional culture in the future?”

   "The sea is inclusive of all rivers and rivers, and it is eclectic, this is the attitude of the magnificent China."

   "I can't help it, they are really good-looking, and I don't live up to it"

   "Every day, this gang and that faction, fighting in the arena for revenge, how can there be any sense of saving the earth"

  "In the final analysis, Western culture is more suitable for modern rhythms. In the past, feudal ethics restrained human nature, but modern times pay attention to releasing oneself and admiring individuality. One controls you and the other spoils you. Which one do you choose?"

   "I think this has a lot to do with the major policies after the reform of the Yuan Dynasty. In order to modernize as soon as possible, traditional concepts must be overthrown first. It is normal to accept or even introduce Western culture, and only by reforming the old can we welcome the new."

   "Some people have been aware of this problem for a long time. In recent years, the government has also begun to call for the revival of traditional culture."

   "It's almost 2000 AD, okay? Globalization is normal"

   "If you want to revive, you have to have something you want to revive. Comics copy others, movies copy others, and there is no lower limit for music. They just use other people's songs to write lyrics."

"In the past, the policy was strict. This one was not allowed and that was not allowed. It has only been a few years since it was released? A few years ago, I had to listen to pop music in secret. If I was found out, I would be scolded and I would feel ashamed. In this environment, It's normal to fall behind!"

  …

   Zhang Yang found Phoenix Music's website, wanted to listen to the music, investigated and found out that they all ask for money!

  Copyright protection so in place?

  Reminiscent of the fact that he hadn’t seen a pirated novel website just now, Zhang Yang immediately searched for copyright-related information.

   "Xiao Chen sued Jinbang for infringement case: Jinbang Literature Network pays 8,000 yuan for thirteen characters!"

  “The copyright law is revised again, and the maximum penalty limit for infringement is cancelled, and the maximum penalty is 20 years!”

   "Sura Audio-Video Piracy and Infringement Case Sentenced, Four Persons in Charge Sentenced to Thirty-Four Years in Total!"

  “Xia Ke Literature Network was interviewed again due to a copyright dispute, and the fine may reach one million!”

  「If you buy a membership, you still need to pay? The three major music platforms will be interviewed again!」

  「The era of digital music is coming, the Copyright Bureau will unify the charging standard!」

  「Major announcement! The National Music Resource Bank was established, and the exclusive copyright will be suspected of commercial monopoly!」

  …

  Zhang Yang looked at each of them, and finally determined that although piracy cannot be completely banned, in this world, it is definitely something that only experienced drivers can find. In other words, copyright benefits will be guaranteed to the greatest extent.

   This is simply a paradise for original creators...of course it is also for travellers.

   Zhang Yang almost burst into tears. If there was such copyright protection in his previous life, the manuscript fee for labor and management would at least double!

  Thinking of this, he excitedly opened the document and began to type. Finally, he opened the document and typed the five big characters of "Legend of the Condor Heroes" exuding the glory of money. After waiting for a long time, Luoshen did not move.

   Is she going to sleep too?

   "Luoshen?"

  He tried to call out, and soon heard the crisp and sweet voice: "Huh?"

   "I didn't bring my notebook, can you please read it again?"

   "No." The other party refused decisively.

"Uh…"

   Zhang Yang was a little confused, he was fine in the hospital at noon, so he didn't provoke her!

"why?"

  Luo Shen was silent for a while, and then said: "You have been sitting here for almost two hours, and you didn't even remember to search for music theory courses."

"Uh…"

   "As long as you watch video teaching, I will read as many books as possible."

"Uh…"

Luoshen didn't urge him, and immediately pretended not to exist after saying the conditions, and Zhang Yang discussed helplessly: "One yuan, five hours, hurry up and write first, and I will go to the library to borrow books when the holiday is over, and I guarantee the best time." Self-taught at a fast pace."

no respond.

  People were under the eaves and had to bow their heads. Zhang Yang had no choice but to search for video tutorials in desperation. After clicking on it, he suddenly became happy, "There will be a fee!"

   Thanks for copyright protection!

"not my business."

   "I have no money, and I don't have an online account at all. How can I recharge?"

   "That's your business."

   "It's useless to waste like this, I can't read it now."

   "Equivalent exchange, you add an hour of music theory study, and I will help you read for an hour."

The clay figurine was still angry, Zhang Yang resolutely stopped talking to her, and started typing directly by touching the keyboard. He had read it before, and then dictated it again. With my memory, I really think you can’t write it if you don’t read it. up?

  The mighty water of the Qiantang River bypasses Niujia Village in Lin'an Prefecture, Liangzhe West Road day and night endlessly, and flows eastward into the sea. A row of dozens of black cypress trees by the river...

   Black Cypress…

   Black Cypress…

   Then what?

   "Is half an hour okay?"

no respond.

   "Forty minutes?"

   Still no response.

   "Okay I say yes."

   "The vast waters of the Qiantang River are endless day and night..."

   "I will memorize this paragraph."

   "...The one bypasses Niujia Village, Lin'an Prefecture, Liangzhe West Road, and flows eastward into the sea. Dozens of black cypress trees are lined up beside the river..."

   "Okay, as long as you are happy."

   Zhang Yang didn't care about being poor, so he hurriedly dictated. Although the keyboard was unfamiliar and obviously a bit rough, it was still much faster than handwriting, with more than 5,000 words written in an hour.

   "If it was updated at such a fast speed before, even if there was a pirated version, the manuscript fee would have doubled."

  He was about to take a break, and finished the first round of coding without saying a word, at least half of it was okay, but just after sending his emotions, he heard the phone ring, picked it up, and saw that it was his mother Fang Qianxue.

   "Hello, Mom."

   "Aren't you discharged from the hospital?"

   "Well, are you home yet?"

   "I'm at home, how about you?"

   "Uh... I have something to do, outside."

   "What can you do with your limp? Come back to me quickly."

  My mother hung up the phone directly, Zhang Yang sighed, checked out and got off the plane.

  He walked out of the Internet cafe on crutches, and walked towards the gate of the community in the setting sun. Before he could pass, a cold girl's voice came from behind: "Zhang Yang!"
