Chapter Thirty-Seven: Influence and Future

  Chen Xiao did not go back on his word, and the next day's "Voice of the Ancient City" commentary was indeed Su Jin's speech. Through professional editing techniques, Su Jin appeared even more passionate and eloquent in the video, as if he were a heroic warrior fighting against oppression, brave, fearless, and arguing with reason!

  It seems that Su Jin himself is also a bit skeptical about whether the person on TV is really him. And the host "Old Yu" used humorous and interesting language to fully explain the cause and effect of this incident to all the audience in front of the TV!

  The influence of "Ancient City's Voice" is enormous, and the impact of this incident is equally enormous. Perhaps it's because it involves the vital interests of countless families. In short, under such a strong alliance, this incident has spread like a whirlwind of public opinion to every corner of the ancient city.

  Su Jin's name and his speech spread to every corner of the ancient city! It has to be said that Su Jin's speech, even if it were to leave out the system's added costs, was quite excellent. The people of the ancient city knew for the first time that there was a young man named Su Jin in this place. They knew for the first time that there was such a profession as an online writer in this world, they knew for the first time that books written by a group of vocational school students could also make money, they knew for the first time... In short, this "Voice of the Ancient City" made people know countless things for the first time!

  Of course, in this case, those newspapers and magazines incited by the publishing house would not let it go. They launched a crazy counterattack like they had been injected with chicken blood. At this time, even the three major newspapers in Gucheng had torn off their last fig leaf and started naming names! However, Su Jing apparently didn't bother to respond to them anymore, perhaps he never intended to from the very beginning!

  Since that day when Su Xing pointed it out, Su had already thought through this matter extremely clearly! The internet being suppressed and looked down upon by traditional literature is completely reasonable. This problem has existed since the birth of the internet and hadn't been solved even when Su was reborn. It's a problem that countless heroes in later generations were unable to solve, and Su didn't think he could solve it either.

  But is this issue important? Su Jin thinks that at least in the current stage, this issue is completely irrelevant! Who are the readers of the web? Mainly students, young people aged 12-30.

  These young people are the fastest and most direct group to accept new things, they also like to surf the internet to find books, and can accept various strange views and ideas on the internet! The influence of newspapers and magazines is more limited to some middle-aged people, and their influence on young people is extremely low! Of course, you can say that newspapers and magazines can affect these students' parents, and then parents can affect students, but in fact, without the internet, according to the current education situation in China, parents would rather have children spend all their time studying, not to mention online things, even traditional world classics are rarely allowed for kids. So whether they are affected or not makes no difference to the promotion of the internet, it's all resistant! Occupation is just like what Su Hangfeng said, those factors that no matter how hard you try, you can't get, at least in this stage!

  But if every child listened to their parents, the world would have become extremely harmonious! From the rapid development of the internet in the past life to the rapid expansion of the dream network in this life, it is clear that parents' control over their children is not so powerful!

  In other words, the factors that the Internet needs to develop will not be affected by newspapers and magazines, while the people who are affected by newspapers and magazines are also the ones who cannot be won over. This determines that the reports of newspapers and magazines are completely unnecessary for the Internet!

  After Su Jin figured this out, handling the matter was a breeze. The speech that day was essentially aimed at the students of Shang Xing, and Su Jin just hoped to gain more student support and expand the influence of the writing club! As for the Ancient City Herald, it was just icing on the cake! However, Su Jin did not expect the system's skills to be so powerful, allowing him to easily solve his main problem, and a carefully prepared speech could only be used to deal with the media!

  But Su Jin didn't feel disappointed, let's just say it was a publicity stunt. It's only when there's hype that people pay attention, it's only when there's hype that people are curious, it's only when there's hype that you gain fame, and it's only when there's hype that you make a profit!

  While keeping one's foundation intact, playing with words can win attention, curiosity, fame and profit! What joy is there in not doing so?!

  So Su Jin is so cooperative with the media's requirements, providing a speech for the speech, an interview for the interview, and even attending two programs!

  However, Su Jin was only able to do so much, after all, he still had a lot of things to attend to and couldn't devote all his energy to arguing with people!

  The school's support has removed the last stumbling block for the rapid development of the Writing Society, and Su Jin's speech and the actual income of the members have greatly stimulated the students of Shangxue.

  In just two weeks, the writing club's membership expanded to over 1,500 people, and more than 400 students truly began writing. Not everyone can calm down and write a book, especially when it comes to writing a long novel, which is tedious, uninteresting, and laborious. If you're not a real writer, it's hard to understand.

  So Su Jin always thought that if a long novel was truly written by an author, one word at a time, without copying or pasting, then no matter what, this person is worthy of praise! Just like how later generations will appreciate some seemingly worthless contracts. The purpose is to affirm the author's hard work! Not everyone can continuously create millions of words in an environment where no one appreciates or notices them! Such a person would usually become a sage or saint if they lived in ancient times!

  However, despite only over 400 people becoming real online writers, Su Zhan still felt inexplicably excited! Because Su Jian discovered that these four hundred people were absolutely not just four hundred students! This was the true foundation of his rise to fame!

  Su Jin discovered that compared to the overbearingness of oratory skills, his job's attached skills were truly against the heavens!

  Occupational skills: Lead by example!

  Su Jin was actually always wondering what this skill is used for. According to the skill's annotation, it seems to say that through one's own words and deeds, students can quickly improve their skills! But how high is this rapid improvement? And what standards can be improved to? Is it up to one's own level?

  Su Jin shook his head in frustration, he was still very clear about how many catties and taels he had. The reason why "The First Time" and "Dou Po" were successful was because they were originally successful works, and he was just a plagiarist. His own writing level, after so long a period of exercise, was only that of a third-rate author. This level could barely get him on the shelves in later generations, and every month he had to rely on his full attendance award to make ends meet. Even if his students could reach his level, what's the big deal?

  However, after Su Zhan paid 100 points to inquire about the system, Su Jin was immediately excited all night like he had been injected with chicken blood! It turned out that according to the system's division, the entire cultural level of humanity is divided into five levels.

  Not entering the mainstream, third-rate, second-rate, first-rate, master! If specifically referring to writing, it can be understood as:

  I won't introduce it if it's not popular, and everyone can understand it as a legendary primary school student's writing style.

  Third-rate is what Su Jin said, later generations can only reach the level of being on the shelves, but they can only rely on full attendance awards to pass the days.

  The second-rate has started to be awesome, at this time some big gods and small gods are all at this level!

  This is the legendary place where the supreme god descends! For them, this level of human network is just a channel, they are more involved in physical publishing, and some best-selling books basically come from their hands!

  Master! A legendary life doesn't need explanation! Such figures are the legendary literary masters of various countries and Nobel Prize winners in Literature!

  As for the skill of "Teaching by Example", it is to elevate the effect to a fixed level! Simply put, Su Jin's current skill is "Teaching by Example (1)", which means that he can raise any person's skill to third-rate! Don't underestimate this, although this is only barely enough to make a living in later generations, but at this time, with such writing skills plus the creativity provided by Su Jin, it has completely become possible to become a god!

  What's most important is that this isn't a flash in the pan. In the future, as Su Jing's position rises, it can be predicted that there will definitely be even more advanced examples of leading by example. At that time, Su Jing will be able to cultivate second-rate, first-rate, and even master writers! Fantasizing about the scene where countless masters would pay homage to him, Su Jing suddenly drooled all over the place!

  And later, when Su Jin expands into other cultural fields such as film and animation, this skill will also come in handy. At that time, Su Jin can continue to cultivate all kinds of talents, imagining a future where every movie is directed by himself or his students, and every book is written by himself or his students...

  At that time, one's status will probably be higher than the status of Confucius in the feudal dynasty! Su Jin finally understood that this was the fundamental purpose of the system! Culture cannot rely on one person to establish it! One person can only hammer a few nails even if he is made of iron! The spread of culture ultimately relies on the power of the group!

  One person can lead the trend of culture, but to make this trend truly sweep the world ultimately relies on countless people who learn from and recognize this trend. This is also why ancient thinkers and cultural figures would establish academies. The ancients knew that only by cultivating their own students and disciples could they truly pass down their ideas and philosophies for generations to come. If one only relied on themselves, it would be like trying to put out a fire with a cup of water - even if they were able to shine brightly for a moment, after their passing, their legacy would eventually disappear.

  For Su Jin, speaking skills are powerful, but after all, it's just a "technique". This teaching by example is the real "way"!
