What should I do if the system forces me to copy books?

In the final analysis, all these behaviors have only one purpose: to continue to go up!

Li Chungang typed and asked, "Didn't Brilliance say that there would be a delay in merging the Jiaxing Chinese website?"

Natto explained: "I guess it's because the editor-in-chief saw that your two novels "Medical Skills" and "Snowy Knife" have been completed one after another, and the last trace of relationship with us Longteng has been severed. Those 'sexy sluts' out there have got your soul sucked.

Therefore, the leaders above went to work for three consecutive days and held meetings behind closed doors. Although I was not there, I don’t know if they were discussing the specific content of the platinum contract urgently. This official platinum contract is sent to you to have a look, if you have any dissatisfaction, you can raise it! "

Hearing this, Li Chungang couldn't help but smile and marvel, as expected, everything still depends on strength!

If "Fighting Knife in the Snow" is still in the serialization state, it is estimated that Brilliance and the others will not be so anxious about this platinum contract.But the situation is very different now. Brilliance knows very well that Li Chungang is going to participate in a small e-sports custom essay jointly initiated by the two major departments, which may take a long time.

Time is the most test of a person, and at the same time the most test is actually time.

Late makes a difference!Long Teng was also afraid that something would happen during this period of time. With Yaoyang's past, they really weren't as confident as before, so they thought about finalizing the platinum contract early, and first tied Li Chungang to the "war car" and other things.

Well, even though Brilliance boasted so much about the Platinum contract at the annual meeting, he was also curious whether it would be as he said after it was actually implemented in black and white.

Now the relationship between the two parties is very clear. It was Long Teng who begged him to sign the contract. If there is anything unsatisfactory in this platinum contract, then he will not sign it. Anyway, it is not necessary to sign.

"Can I read the contract first?" Li Chungang was very calm, and he must not be fooled by the opponent's sugar-coated shells. What he had to do was to eat the sugar-coated shells and then throw the shells back to the opponent.

Natto: "Okay, let's take a look at the contract first, as long as you don't spread it, you can bring it up at any time if you don't understand or feel dissatisfied." After speaking, Natto moved the mouse to a corner of his computer desktop A document in PDF format, left-clicked and dragged to the WeChat chat window, and it was automatically transmitted...

Receive the file and click Open.

Many people in the circle are full of curiosity about the specific content of the Platinum Contract created by Longteng or Brilliance. Unfortunately, Longteng has thought of this a long time ago, and the confidentiality work is very strict. So far, all the information that can be obtained is from Brilliance. I said it myself, as for the content of the specific contract——

Always unknown!

Because currently the authors who are eligible to sign platinum contracts on the entire network are Zhichun Zhigang, Monk Going to the Brothel, House God, I Eat Tomato Sauce, and Bright Stars. They will definitely not disclose it casually after they know that rumors are not allowed.To paraphrase an outsider: This is the so-called commercial secret!

How could it be leaked casually and simply.

According to the inertial thinking of ordinary people, the conditions and treatment of the Great God contract are one level higher than that of the ordinary contract; the Platinum contract is one level higher than the Great God contract, and it must be more aggressive in terms of remuneration. Otherwise, why bother to take off your pants and fart? Come up with such a platinum contract.

Three cobblers are better than one Zhuge Liang.

Although Natto said that this platinum contract cannot be spread casually, but Li Chungang did not call it casual, but directly forwarded the PDF document to Lao Luo and sent a copy. After all, there are so many clauses in a formal contract alone. It is not a simple matter to read one by one and see clearly one by one.

It’s not that you can’t spend some money to let Low force the system to go out, and you can easily scan this platinum contract to know whether there are traps and loopholes, but if every contract has to send out the system boss, why do they have to spend every year? So a large sum of money to reach a cooperation with a law firm?

Isn't it just to be able to consult professionals on legal issues.

Li Chungang himself is also carefully browsing the platinum contract. For example, when it comes to subscription sharing, the ratio between the author and Longteng is 7:3 when the god makes an appointment, and it is already 8:2 when it comes to the platinum contract. Five points is simply a huge gap.

This alone proves that the Platinum Contract is better than the Great God Contract.

However, at the level of Li Chungang and others, the real focus of the online writers is no longer the subscription share. After all, the subscription is "one-time payment, permanent reading". Many young friends like to gather together a few people to share. A Longteng account subscribes to read books, and the early subscription share is not bad, but it will become weaker as it goes on, and the real focus is still on copyright adaptation.

Li Chungang has a deep understanding of this point.Not much else to say, just for the publication of physical books, the quarterly royalties of "Ghost Blowing Lantern" can bring it more than 2 million yuan in revenue, not to mention the follow-up next month and next month "Kyushu Misty" The royalties for the first quarter of "Record" and "Knives in the Snow" will come down again.

Moreover, he recently heard from Lao Luo that Brilliance’s ambitions are not small. Recently, it seems that it wants to get involved in the peripheral market and produce some peripheral products for some popular online works, such as bookmarks, notebooks, commemorative albums and other small things. Knowing that this is another new market as long as it operates well, it is not inferior to the web text market.

According to the news that has come out so far, among the first batch of works used to test the water, Li Chungang's "Swords in the Snow" bears the brunt.

It’s just that it’s not easy to get involved in a field that was completely unfamiliar before, and Brilliance is still cautiously probing. The first batch of “water testing works” don’t dare to spread the plate too much, so even if they encounter Waterloo, Can cut flesh in time to stop bleeding.

With the previous experience of the Great God Agreement, Longteng is very clear that there is no way to win the copyright from Li Chungang. In this case, it is better to clearly state in the contract from the beginning that all copyrights of the work belong to the author, so that It also looks a little bigger.

Chapter 265 Bridges

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-yield 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, expressing his understanding, but understanding does not mean he wants to accept it.

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 -

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

[-]. 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.In the next second, the expression on his face became resolute, 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 --

"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 Zhi Chun Zhi Gang'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!

Chapter 266 The Chance to Prove Yourself

"that is……"

"Is there still room for discussion on the five-year limit of the platinum contract?"

When things came to an end, Natto finally mustered up the courage to speak.

It's just that her words made Brilliance frowned involuntarily, because the "five-year" period of the platinum contract was the most suitable and balanced period discussed by their chief editors, deputy editors, deputy editors, etc. .

Five years just don't have to worry about the situation that after a large amount of resources are invested in platinum authors, the profit cannot be recovered because the cycle is too short. It's just that they think the problem is too simple and use the conditions applicable to normal platinum authors. The most unique existence - Zhichun Zhigang's body is a bit unacceptable.

Take one of the five platinum authors, Monk Going to the Brothel as an example. He also won the title of "Newcomer King" and signed a great god contract in the same year. Although the upper limit and achievements of the work are not as good as Li Chungang, but based on personal experience The above two are very similar.

But look at the performance of monks who go to the brothel to become gods, become famous, and earn a lot of money. After the new book is on the shelves, at least one-third of a month is in a state of interruption. There is only one third of the updates, which is pitifully small. As for the last third, it can barely be regarded as a normal [-]-word update for an online writer.

The mind of a teenager is unavoidable, even if it is not renewed for a long time, the existing net worth alone is enough for him to live and drink for the rest of his life, and the old book is still eating "old money" even now, Everyone can also enjoy millions of bonuses; being busy in dating, playing games, and socializing with various people has taken up most of the time.

The time left that can be used for "online writing" is pitifully small!

If it weren't for the fact that he was really talented, and God rewarded him with food, he would have been pushed by the waves of the Yangtze River by the newcomers who would emerge every once in a while, and the waves would have died on the beach.For this author who is similar to his own age, Li Chungang communicates with him from time to time, but it is a pity that every time after earnestly persuading him, it will be better for a few days. After a week or two of serious and normal updates, the old style will rekindle.

As for the remaining three platinum authors...

Otaku is an old-fashioned author of the same generation as Yaoyang, and he has reached the stage of knowing his destiny in his age. His writing is very in-depth and full of charm. He is very popular with some senior bookworms, and he is especially good at violent battles. The description of the scene, even if it is recognized in the circle, there are few opponents.

I eat ketchup, a very rare all-round online writer, from the first book to the current seventh book, almost all the genres of the entire Longteng Chinese website have been written, and finally return to the original heart and continue the success of Xianxia Love Get back the enthusiasm of the readers, and finally reach the platinum position.

Brilliant Stars should be regarded as the weakest of the current five platinum authors, not one of them.Just because he should belong to that kind of author, he is best at writing virtual online game novels, and only writes this type of novels. It is said that only when you are emotional can you be proficient in Taoism. He is the best example.

—

Brilliance knew very well that Natto, who was the editor in charge, would not bring up the issue of the hardware deadline on the platinum contract for no reason.

In fact, Brilliance admires the young and very talented author of "Zhi Chun Zhi Gang", but at the same time, he also has such a headache, the main headache is that the other party's shrewdness does not match his age. It can be fully reflected in the first signing of the contract.

Every time he speaks, he is straight to the point. People who don't know why will mistakenly think that Li Chungang is a young and impulsive person without a city, but when you think about it afterwards, you will find out what is hidden behind the seemingly impulsive and reckless Dazhi Ruoyu, all this is just a perfect cover-up behind his youthful appearance.

"Then what does Li Chungang mean?"

"I don't know. After I sent him the platinum contract and read it, he just mentioned the five-year period in the contract and asked if there was room for discussion. Then I told the editor-in-chief what you told me this morning. I gave it to the other party, and then..." Na Dou recalled the short conversation with Li Chungang, and recounted it to Brilliance.

Emmmm…

After listening, Brilliance fell into silence and thinking, frowning and relaxing from time to time, as if he had encountered a very difficult problem.

Looking at the editor-in-chief of Brilliance who was thinking, Natto also thought about this question seriously on the way here: "How many years of platinum contract can both parties accept?" People's "perspective" to look at this question, and look at this question from different angles can give two different answers.

And her only idea is to find the "point" between the two answers!

"Editor-in-chief, I personally think that the period of 'three years' should be the best balance point. And I believe the editor-in-chief should also be aware that Chungang is very different from ordinary authors, just because of the number of daily updates. It is far more than other authors at least seven or eight times. To be honest, the number of updates by other authors in five years may not be as good as that of Chun Gang in one year. So...

Special circumstances special treatment!I think the duration of his platinum contract can be adjusted appropriately. "

"Do you think he can agree to the deadline of 'three years'?" Brilliance didn't directly comment on Natto's point of view, but looked at her thoughtfully and asked a question, but he was thinking quickly in his heart The words that came out of Natto's mouth.

In fact, Li Chungang's "specialness" can be seen by him. May I ask which author can complete the code words in one go without any pause?Which author can write a book for a friend with more than 300 million words for free?Which author can complete three works in less than a year?

the answer is--

No!

"Do you think you can convince him to agree to your 'three years' term?"

Seeing that Natto was still dazed and didn't answer his question immediately, Brilliance changed his way and asked a second time, but this time Natto responded quickly, and it was a resolute and decisive one. "I can try hard!"

"Okay, then Li Chungang's platinum contract will be handed over to you, and it will be for a period of three years. If it succeeds, I just plan to set up a platinum author team and select some editors to serve platinum authors. A team leader."

Brilliance's words were so obvious that they couldn't be more obvious.

With a three-year platinum contract, she will be the leader of the platinum author group if she succeeds!

There are only five platinum authors in total, and the daily task is to connect with the five platinum authors. If you think about it, you will know how many things you can do every day.And where does the editor's annual bonus commission come from?Isn't it the contracted author under him? As long as Natto becomes the leader of the platinum author group, his performance improvement is equivalent to being directly linked to five people. One can imagine what a fat and oily position it is.

Chapter 267 Designing a "Glory"

Regarding the outline setting, conception and character design of the new book "Full-time Master", Li Chungang began to work on it after officially finishing the book in the snow. The system unlocking works is not a panacea. He can rely on himself.

So these things can only be summed up by doing it yourself.

Especially the settings of the game "Glory", from a dungeon, a monster in the dungeon, the skills used by the monsters, to all skill settings and introductions for each profession from the first to the second, and various There are various combo mechanisms, and we also need to introduce the so-called domineering body, floating stiffness, etc...

It has been another whole week since Xuezhong finished the live broadcast and Natto approached him to negotiate a platinum contract.It seems that the time is very long, considering that Monday to Friday are almost full of courses during the day (compulsory courses + elective courses), this is all in order to be able to successfully graduate from Tsinghua University with full credits.

The time that is really used to write the outline is actually at night.

In just one night, I still have to be distracted by other things from time to time. This is because Li Chungang has not chosen to join any clubs in the school so far. Otherwise, a large part of the originally small night time will be compressed to participate in clubs Even Cheng Xueer, the chairman of the student union, has been rejected by him countless times to join the student union.

The original full text of "Full-time Master" is 534.97. After Li Chungang read the entire content of the novel "immersively", with his current literary level and online experience, he still found many loopholes and things that need to be revised. Place, because it involves a part of the "urban plot", many things need to be modified after two different planes.

If you want to improve and rectify the original work, if you want to stand on the shoulders of giants and touch a higher ceiling, then extracting the outline and various settings from the original work bit by bit is a necessary step. The perfect content plus the follow-up World Championship extra content will increase the word count of this book by about 100 million to 120 million words, and the bulk is still on the World Championship content.
