My dad is a big star

"So, what kind of contract conditions are there?"

Hu Shuo asked again.

Xiao Yi: This is the contract of the signed author, you can take a look at it first, and then give me an answer.

After Xiaoyi sent the message, he sent another document.

"Ok."

Hu Shuo replied, and then opened the document, about seven or eight pages long, which listed the rights and obligations of both parties in detail.

Hu Shuo read it carefully, and his brows became more and more wrinkled. When looking at a contract, you can actually look at it from two aspects, one is what you get, and the other is what you need to pay.

If the two are almost equal, you can sign the contract.

In this contract sent by Xiao Yi, the most intuitive benefit that Hu Shuo can get is that the subscription income of several stories under his name has changed from the current five-five to three-seven, and the reward income has also changed from five-five to three-seven. There is also the free promotion promised by the website, but this thing is relatively empty, and there is no clear regulation.

What Hu Shuo needs to pay is a five-year binding contract, which means that within five years, he is not allowed to publish story works on other platforms. In addition, the copyright of all stories under his name is jointly owned by the author and the website. Responsible for operation and promotion, and the profits brought by the two parties will be shared [-]-[-].

It is not a big problem to sign a contract for five years. After all, Sleeping with You Every Day is a high-quality story platform. If Hu Shuo continues to write stories, it will be no problem to publish them here, but the copyright of all stories under his name will become jointly owned by both parties, and will be owned by the website. Hu Shuo can't accept the condition that the side leads the operation and promotion.

The stories he wrote all have great potential. For example, "Snow White" in another time and space is the "big i" for everyone. Its derivative value is already immeasurable.

In fact, Hu Shuo has already thought about waiting for "Snow White" to become a real hit, and then he will carry out in-depth development of it, such as audio stories, animation movies, children's dramas, etc...

He even has a bigger idea deep in his heart, which is to build a real "anime dream factory", and the core of this idea is the content, so he naturally wants to hold the copyright of the story in his own hands of.

After thinking about it, Hu Shuo replied directly to Xiao Yi: "I think the current cooperation model is very good, but this contract may not be suitable for me."

Xiao Yi: Does that mean you don’t want to sign? ? ?

Xiao Yi replied quickly, followed by a surprised expression. From his point of view, Hu Shuo didn't seem to have any reason to refuse. After all, every author who writes a story is eager to become a signed author who sleeps with you every day. Not only can you get a higher subscription share, but you can also get the key promotion of the website. For an author, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.

"I still hope that the copyright of the story will remain in my own hands." Hu Shuo directly stated the reason for his reluctance to sign the contract without hiding anything.

Xiao Yi: Well, that's really a pity, you may have missed a chance to become famous.

Xiao Yi: The website will definitely recommend the works of contracted authors first, you should understand what I mean.

Xiao Yi sent two messages in a row, and the second one was hitting on Hu Shuo, telling him in a subtle way that if he didn't sign a contract with the website, his work would not be promoted in the future.

On the other hand, Hu Shuo smiled slightly. The results of several stories such as "Snow White" and "Cinderella" in the past few days have proved that they are still very marketable here. With the confidence, I don’t worry about their sales. In the worst case, I change the platform to publish. After all, it’s not just a story website that only sleeps with you every day.

"Well, thank you for the invitation anyway."

Hu Shuo replied politely.

However, there was no news from Xiao Yi.

the same moment.

Ruihua Building, 12th Floor.

This whole floor belongs to Sleep with You Story Network every day.

In the editorial department, Yi Xiaohan left his desk and knocked on the door of the deputy editor's office.

"Boss, Hu Zuozuo rejected our invitation to sign."

Sitting behind the desk is a middle-aged man in casual clothes. In fact, he is a bit wronged to say that he is middle-aged. This man looks about 37 or [-] years old. According to the age structure of today's social population, he should Not even middle-aged.

This person's name is Zhang Wanqi, and he is the deputy editor-in-chief of Sleeping with You every day. He is in charge of author signing and the promotion and operation of works on the website and A terminal.

"Hu Zuozuo?"

Zhang Wanqi frowned slightly, and after reacting for a while, he remembered who this pseudonym was: "The one who wrote "Snow White" and "Cinderella"?"

"Well, it's him."

Yi Xiaohan nodded.

"Why did you refuse to sign the contract? What's the reason?" Zhang Wanqi asked while knocking on the table with his fingers.

"They said they wanted to keep the copyright in their own hands." Yi Xiaohan responded truthfully.

"Is that so..."

Zhang Wanqi kept knocking on the desk rhythmically with his fingers, but he didn't speak, but fell into deep thought.

After a while, he asked again: "Is he a newcomer or an old author?"

"It should be a newcomer. The accounts on Huaxia Original Online were just registered today, and it shows that there are only a few works published on our website." Yi Xiaohan analyzed.

Zhang Wanqi nodded lightly: "Newcomer?"

"A newcomer dares to negotiate terms with our website?"

A stern look flashed in Zhang Wanqi's eyes: "Knock him up first, if you're still so self-righteous, take his two stories off the new book list!"

"Got it, boss."

Yi Xiaohan nodded, turned and left the office.

Zhang Wanqi, on the other hand, dragged the mouse to look at the bestseller list of new books on the website. Currently, "Snow White", "Cinderella", and "Sleeping Beauty" are all on the list.

The highest ranking of "Snow White" has jumped to No.11, "Cinderella" ranked 20th, and "Sleeping Beauty" was ranked No.[-] shortly after it was listed.

It is extremely rare for three stories by one author to appear on the bestseller list of new books at the same time. At least in Zhang Wanqi's memory, the number of times this kind of situation has never appeared more than ten times, and they are all master-level authors When the story collection is released, only a few of the excellent stories may be on the list at the same time.

However, it is the first time that three stories of a newcomer are on the bestseller list of new books at the same time.

"No wonder this kid is so arrogant, but he is really capable."

A sneer appeared at the corner of Zhang Wanqi's mouth. He has been in the industry for more than ten years. What kind of genius author has he never met?But even the great gods who became famous later did not dare to refuse the website's signing invitation at the rookie stage. Of course, there must be precedents for authors who refused to sign a contract, and there were quite a few of them, but the final results were quite miserable.

As an author, no matter how excellent your work is, it is useless without a platform to display it.

What's more, many authors think that their works are very good, but in fact, they are not really that good. Therefore, once they lose the high-quality platform promotion, they will not be able to make any splashes.

Over the years, there have been quite a few authors who have gone to sleep with you every day, but in the end it can be said that very few have succeeded on other platforms. A considerable number of authors returned to their old clubs in disgrace after a toss. After all, every day with you You Sleeping is the industry leader of story websites, with the largest readership group, where they can earn more money.

It is for this reason that Zhang Wanqi is so confident, he doesn't care about the departure of a new author, even if he has good results in front of him.

But so what?

Can he still turn the world upside down? ?
