Chapter 384: 1 impulse, "Dragon and Snake Rise" relea Next »
Chapter 386: 1 is not as good as 1 is still
Every new book opened by a great **** is news in the industry!
Wen Chou suddenly released the new book "Dragon Snake Rise" this time, which is more topical, just look at the posts that emerged from Long Kong in just one hour!
"Wen Chou's new book "Dragon and Snake Rise" is released today! Did you know?"
""Dragon and Snake Rise"? How many people think of "Dragon and Snake" like me?"
"Is "Magic Sword Eternal" coming to an end? Wen Chou just released the new book "Dragon and Snake Rise"!"
"Internal news! Wen Chou claimed to release "Dragon Snake Rise" out of impulse!"
"The Dragon and Snake Rise of the Land" has only three thousand characters. I think it is ugly and mad, what do you think?"
""Magic Sword Eternity" can no longer compete for the monthly ticket list, Wen Chou sacrificed a big killer-"Dragon and Snake Rise"!"
"The Dragon and the Snake Rise of the Land? Can anyone tell from the title of the book what this book is about?"
"No responsibility speculation! "Dragon and Snake Rise" is to create momentum for "Dragon and Snake Fight"!"
……
These are just the title of the post. The content of the post is written in a variety of ways, saying everything. In some author groups, the news that Wen Chou opened a new book quickly spread.
The authors of the starting point had several reactions to Wen Chou's sudden opening of a new book.
For example, in the dark realm group.
Bathing in the mist: "Wen Chou has opened a new book!"
Skeleton: "I saw it! Silence for those books on the new book list!"
Golden bug: "Really have a silence! The giants in the group who want to open a new book are highly vigilant! Wen Chou has opened a new book. If you don't want to die, hurry up and adjust the date of publication!"
East `fascination` West` cheap: "A certain family has no plan to open a new book recently, which means there is no pressure!"
Big Tiger: "A solemn reminder! Wen Chou has opened a new book. Everyone, please be careful not to crash!"
The lamb passing by: "Please allow me to put a **** to God! I scolded the next door! Wen Chou is a scam! I'm smashed! The new book I just opened the day before yesterday! Where is Wen Chou? Come out and die! You Grandma's leg! Do you dare to pit a little bit more? Are all good friends, why are you too anxious? Can we still play happily together? Are you deliberately waiting for me?"
The boiling dust: "Sorrow for the little sheep giant! Little sheep giant! Do I need to burn some paper for you? Poor child! Poor lamb!"
……
Under the boiling dust, six or seven great gods appeared and copied this sentence and sent it to the group. The lamb passing by was even more depressed to death.
……
This is true in the Dark Realm group, and in other author groups, wailing can be seen everywhere, no matter it is famous. Still an unknown author, when opening a new book. The most feared is crashing with those top gods.
Once you meet a top god, it is less likely for the writers to be on the new book list, and for other popular writers. It is completely lost the possibility of competing for the first place in the new book list.
It's like a new movie in the film industry that happens to meet a Hollywood blockbuster, robbing the audience with Hollywood blockbusters that cost billions of dollars, don't die too bleak.
Conversely, if you release your own movie on a schedule without a blockbuster, the box office will definitely be much more beautiful. Often such schedules are prone to box office miracles.
It is so dangerous to publish new books in the online literature world.
An old and well-connected author, before publishing the book. I usually inquire about whether there are new books published by great gods recently, new authors, and no such contacts. You can only use the new book list to see which great gods have published new books. As for whether there are any great gods to publish new books, you can only guess by yourself.
If this newcomer doesn’t understand anything, before publishing a new book, he doesn’t even know how to read the new book list. If you post a new book directly, you will often die without a place to die.
This situation. Only after the beginning of the new book list is divided into three, only slightly improved.
At present, the starting point is still only a new book list. All new and old authors will compete for this list together. If the newcomer's work is not very bad, it is absolutely impossible to **** those high-popular old authors.
This year, many people say that the starting point is very deep, and this is what they often say! There are too many powerful and popular old authors, and the hope for newcomers to come up with new works is too small!
Writing online articles is the same as many things. It is often one step and one step to lose!
The popularity of the new book issue is not up, and it will easily enter a vicious circle later, and will never get up! Even some great god-level authors from outside stations occasionally open new books from the starting point, and often they don't even make a splash and are submerged in the vast library of the starting point.
The lamb passing by was very depressed and angry, and immediately sent a private message to Lu Yang, asking Lu Yang why he did this in the private message?
Lu Yang was in front of the computer, talking to the signing editor about signing the contract. He could only apologize when he saw the question of the passing lamb.
This time signing, it didn't go well!
It's not that Lu Yang's "Dragon Snake Rise" is of poor quality, but that there is an extra clause in the platinum contract signed by the editor Maruko and sent to Lu Yang.
In the original contract, Lu Yang only signed the electronic copyright of the work to the starting point. The copyright in simplified and traditional characters, as well as the adaptation rights of comics, audiobooks, movies, and online games, belonged to Lu Yang himself.
In the contract that Maruko sent him just now, it included all the right of adaptation. It still belongs to Lu Yang. Only the copyright of the traditional Chinese version is available. Even the copyright of the simplified version belongs to the starting point.
If Lu Yang's new book can be published in simplified Chinese and sold other copyrights, Lu Yang can only get 50% of it. This alone will cost Lu Yang's millions of proceeds.
This is only for now. Lu Yang, who has memories of past lives, knows that in a few years, the right to adapt the game of the top great gods can easily sell for tens of millions. If this kind of contract continues, then Lu Yang will lose as much as him. Vomiting blood.
Wen Chou: "The original contract, didn't it just sign the electronic copyright?"
Maruko: "Well, yes, this is the newly revised contract, and all the authors' contracts will be like this in the future!"
Wen Chou: "Have other great gods signed this contract?"
Maruko: "Not yet, but when they open a new book, it will be a new contract!"
In front of the computer. Lu Yang took out a cigarette and lit it. Looking at the content of this conversation, he didn't reply for a long while.
Lu Yang didn't know. When Maruko answered his questions, Maruko was already standing behind a dozen of the heads of the editorial department. This new contract has just been drafted. Wen Chou is the first platinum-level **** and the top **** among platinum gods. .
Wen Chou will sign this contract is directly related to whether this new platinum contract can be promoted, as for the contract of ordinary authors. Whoever does not sign does not sign, the leaders will not modify the contract for ordinary authors.
The leaders of the editorial department stood behind Maruko. Waited for more than a minute before Wen Chou responded.
Wen Chou: "I ask for the original contract! Otherwise, the book will not be signed for the time being! Let's talk about it later!"
Sister Maruko, who was in charge of negotiating the contract with Wen Chou, looked at the reply blankly and stood up at a loss. Looking at the dozen or so leaders standing behind her seat, she weakly asked: "Leaders! What should I say?"
More than a dozen leaders reacted differently. The editor-in-chief of the second group, Z, gave a silent, wry smile, touched his forehead, looked down at his leather toe cap, as if today's leather toe cap was particularly beautiful.
The editor-in-chief of the group chuckled, "It's a big deal! I knew he would be like this!"
The editors of the five groups snorted, and said: "This author is a little bit cocky! I think it's going to be pressed!"
The copyright manager squinted at him and asked, "How to press? Deduct his data? Or deduct his recommended position? Do you want to drive him away?"
The general manager looked at Old Z with a majestic gaze, and gave an order: "Go and talk to Wen Chou! 50% will not work. You can give him 60%, if not, you can give 70%! But let him say that it is 50%! No! Let others know that the contract he signed is different!"
The corner of the old z's eyes with his head down is actually always paying attention to the reaction of the two main leaders. Hearing the order, he could only agree to communicate with Wen Chou.
In front of the computer, Wen Chou knew in his heart that his arms could not twist his thighs. In his memory, although the starting point was left by the great god, he stayed. In the end, they all signed the contract, just. 50% of the contracts of the great gods are just one line, and there is another line. It seems that the price of the adaptation rights exceeds a certain amount, and the starting point is only 1 million? Still 500,000?
After receiving a private message from the editor-in-chief, Lu Yang was dissatisfied with the 60% or even 70% share of the old z said. Even if 70%, when his game adaptation rights are sold to 10 million, the starting point is 30%. It is still as high as 3 million. Compared with the income of game adaptation rights, the money from the starting point of subscription is only an addition in the future.
Lu Yang directly threw out the starting point in his memory and divided the rules.
Wen Chou: "It can be divided into three or seven! But the starting point is up to 500,000! And! I ask for this contract never to be modified! Last time you signed a platinum contract with me, the time was set for five years. Modify it now. I don't want to open it later. When I am new to the book, I still mention the modification of the contract!"
Starting point editorial department.
Old Z looked back at the leaders and colleagues standing behind him. As the editor-in-chief, he did not have the right to decide on this matter.
The starting point for the right to adapt the work is divided into a maximum of 500,000. This number made the start-up executives at the scene somewhat satisfied. They remember that the copyright price of Wen Chou's "Magic Sword Eternal" game was 2 million.
According to 30%, it is 600,000. The game adaptation rights of "Magic Sword Eternal" can be sold for 2 million. Everyone at the scene knows that there is a fluke element.
If the Giant Company were not to grab the right to adapt the book from Shanda, the cost would definitely be less than 2 million.
Everyone is waiting for the general manager to make a decision.
The general manager condensed his eyebrows for a moment, and said: "Don't promise to be so fast! Talk to him again! The share ratio is up to 60%, 50%, and the maximum share is up to 1 million! Give you three days! Pay attention to your sense of measure! On the premise of not forcing him away, fight for our interests!"
After finishing speaking, the general manager turned around and left, leaving other people with smiling eyes, frowning old z, and the other editors of the second group.
The Maruko sister who was in charge of discussing the contract with Wen Chou was relieved, this difficult bone was finally taken over.
The signing and editing rights of the starting point are not great. It's okay to meet ordinary authors, but when they meet great god-level authors like Wen Chou, when they talk about contracts with them, they are Alexander!
Great God-level authors have an annual salary of millions of dollars, but their contract editors only get a few thousand dollars in salary. The huge income gap corresponds to the importance of each other to the starting point.
If you offend the Great God at the starting point because of them, it will definitely not be the Great God who punishes it.
In the face of old Z's bargaining, Lu Yang has been in a bad mood recently. After patiently saying a few words with him, he didn't want to talk.
Old Z said that the upper limit for the share should be at least 1 million. Also, since there is an upper limit for the share, the share cannot be only 30%, but at least 50%.
Lu Yang didn't know what happened just now in the editorial department of the starting point. Lu Yang was a little upset about what Old Z said the least, but he didn't want to offend him, so he just made up a nonsense.
Wen Chou: "I'm sorry! I just received a call from my mother, and I have to go back in a little urgent matter. I will talk about the contract tomorrow! 88!"
Knowing that Wen Chou Shiyou* is looking for excuses, it is not easy to break, Wen Chou does not want to offend him, and he does not want to make trouble with Wen Chou.
……
Ending the conversation with old z, Lu Yang thought about ventilating this matter with other platinum gods, and then collectively put pressure on the starting point. Finally, thinking about it, he still dispelled the idea.
Lian and other great gods may indeed be able to fight for more benefits in the end, but as the leader, Lu Yang will definitely be evil to the leaders of the starting point, and in the end it is himself who suffer.
The annual recommendation position is slightly reduced by one level, and the popularity of his works will drop by a large margin.
……
The web literary circle is indeed very small! As small as the news of each website, it will often reach the ears of other websites. The starting point is just now because of a contradiction with Wen Chou on the new contract. The second largest digital station in the industry received this news.
Not long after, another former leading website-Certain Jian also received news.
Both of these websites thought they had their chance!
The starting point wants to divide the profits of the ugly adaptation rights, they also want to, but they can pretend not to! As long as you can dig Wen Chou, use this incident to attack the starting point, and by the way, to promote the news that your website does not require the author's other copyrights, you will get three birds with one stone!
The point is that digging Wen Chou means digging up a large number of fans of Wen Chou! While enhancing the strength of one's own website, it also achieves the purpose of weakening the starting point.
Why not do it?
So ~lightnovelpub.net~ When Lu Yang codeword that night, he received q`q private messages from the editor in chief of the digital station and the editor in chief of a sword.
Lu Yang, who was in the code word, did not hang q`q and did not reply immediately. The chief editor of the digital station had Lu Yang's mobile phone number, so he called again.
Blood thick: "Hello? Is it Wen Chou?"
When he saw the **** name displayed on the phone screen, Lu Yang understood the purpose of his call. This call made Lu Yang's mouth a smile.
With this phone, can I still sit down at the starting point?
See who has consumed whom!
Lu Yang: "Hello, bloody! It's so late, won't you still be off work, right?"
Blood thick: "Haha! Work hard! I heard that you are not happy now at the starting point. Do you want to come to us? I just heard about it. We don't need your other copyrights here, um, not only your other Copyright, I can do my best to help you sell other adaptation rights! Free! How about? Any talks?" (to be continued)
