What Should I Do If the System Forces Me To Copy Books?

Copyright is an eternal topic for authors.

You must know that even in the Great God Covenant, there are very few great god authors like Li Chungang who hold all the copyrights in their hands. It's not that they can't imitate Long Teng and make the same request to Long Teng, but they are unwilling to do so. Compared with Zhichun Zhigang, who is full of confidence and doesn't worry about copyright sales, other great authors don't think so.

One has no channels; two has no contacts.

The sold copyright is called copyright!

In the past, the five major Chinese novel websites had countless excellent works, but the number of publishing houses is limited, and the annual publishing resources of physical books are also limited. If there is no Longteng to help contact buyers, God knows how long they will have to wait Only people pay attention to the copyright, besides, it is not unacceptable to charge 20% of the copyright after the master asked the famous Long Teng to help sell the copyright.

After all, for copyright fees of several million or tens of millions, a 20% deduction is still a huge sum of money.

The Platinum contract simply deletes the last 20%, which is equivalent to using its own resources to contact the copyright buyer for the Platinum author, which is equivalent to losing money. It seems that in order to win over a Platinum author, Long Teng It was also bleeding profusely.

Of course--

What you get, you have to give at the same time. The conditions are so generous, and the restrictions on platinum authors are also very obvious. The most important point is the five-year contract binding period. This one makes Li Chungang frown when he sees this. .

(Five years! Five years... Do you know how I will live these five years? Do you know!? [Zha Zhahui expression pack.gif])

Five years is not long or short, but for a web writer, five years can change too many things. Especially Li Chungang, who is a "network piling machine, high-yielding like a sow", as long as he thinks, five years is enough for him to create too many works. In case there is any gap or misunderstanding with Long Teng during this period... ....

I can't blame Li Chungang for thinking this way, it's human nature, everything is going to be bad first, so as to have a psychological preparation in advance.

This is not like an ordinary contract where you just sign the title of the book and it's over, but a contract that binds the author's life and pen name together. Once you break up with Longteng, if you want to get rid of Longteng, besides directly breaching the contract, you must give up your pen name and all the works under this pen name, or just "lose both" and stop writing web articles until the five-year contract expires. .

In the ever-changing world of online literature, even if he is as strong as him, he can't confidently say that he will be able to create another glories after five years.

Apart from this point, the other clauses can be said to be the treatment and benefits given, so there is no big problem.

Li Chungang frowned slightly and went to Natto to type: "Isn't it a bit long for the platinum contract to be bound for five years?"

This problem was explained in advance when Brilliance sent her the formal platinum contract template. Having experience in signing a great contract with a god, Brilliance knew very well that Li Chungang was the kind of person who was unwilling to accept being restrained for a long time, but once he was Snake bites for ten years and is afraid of well ropes, so things like Yaoyang happen once and that's enough.

So Natto explained: "This is a mandatory requirement of the Platinum contract, and other Platinum authors also signed it for five years. I believe that you can understand that Longteng has spent such a heavy resource and effort, just in case one or two years If you change jobs after getting up, I’m afraid you will lose everything! In fact, you can slow down the update speed a little, as long as you release at least one work in Longteng within five years.”

Li Chungang nodded,

Express understanding, but understanding does not mean that he wants to accept.

You have your measurement, and I also have my thoughts. Five years have far exceeded his psychological expectations.

"About this Platinum contract, let me discuss it with Brilliance directly after I do my research." Li Chungang made a decision to modify the terms and content of the Platinum contract, especially the core issue of contract time. Easy to decide.

So simply, wait for the law firm to confirm that there is nothing wrong with the platinum contract, and then talk to Brilliance alone about the contract period.

After seeing Li Chungang's reply, Natto, who was sitting at the desk, was taken aback for a moment. She was no longer the little girl who just came out of society and came to practice in Longteng. Naturally, she could see the subtext of Li Chungang's reply, and she wanted to express It means nothing more than two points -

1. If the platinum contract is currently signed for a period of five years, he will not sign it;

2. I know that you should not be able to make decisions about such important matters as the platinum contract. In this case, I can just talk to Brilliance directly. You don’t need to be stuck in the middle to run up and down.

"I hope Chun Gang won't talk to Long Teng about collapse."

Girls are sometimes sentimental, and Natto somehow had such an idea, and it felt like it took root in her heart as soon as the idea came up, because she remembered that Brilliance was firm about the condition of "five years" in the morning, and she also felt By the time Li Chungang couldn't accept this "five years".

In case both parties are unwilling to give in... Just thinking about the result for a while made her tremble all over, and she shook her head vigorously, trying to get rid of this terrible thought. Immediately, the expression on his face became resolute in the next second, and he stood up decisively from his seat, ignoring a lot of authors who came to him, and resolutely walked to the office of the editor-in-chief Brilliance.

Regardless of whether it is useful or not, Natto feels that he wants to play the role of a "bridge"!

 …

"Okay, no problem. In the early stage, my plan is to play it safe and steady, and wait for the first batch of peripherals to test the water when the anniversary is celebrated next month, and see how the response among readers is..."

Knock Knock Knock——

"Wait... Do as I said first, and we will continue to contact you if you have any questions later. Beep..." Brilliance heard a sudden knock on the door of the office, and hung up the phone after speaking to the other party for the last time , while shouting, "Come in."

The office door was opened from the outside, and the figure of Natto appeared in front of him.

"Editor-in-Chief, I have something to report to you about Zhichun Zhigang's signing of the platinum contract." After entering the door, Natto went straight to the point. After all, there was a huge gap in the level of the two parties, and going around in circles was a waste of time.

"Let's talk about it." Signing a platinum contract with the first batch of five platinum authors has become the top priority of Longteng Chinese. When the news of the new book was released, a large number of old readers clamored to change their doors and followed. The most obvious thing was that the IP traffic of the website, which was originally growing, had stagnated in the past few days.

For Longteng, which has acquired Jiaxing Chinese.com, stagnation is already tantamount to regressing!
