Have You Ever Met Such a Cold Author

"How could it be? Of course, of course there is..." The host broke out in a cold sweat, and while prevaricating, he was thinking of some excuses to round off the situation.

It’s fine when no one mentions this matter. Once it is specifically pointed out, it doesn’t need to be a senior industry insider. Even ordinary readers will feel that something is wrong—other authors and hosts have helped the author to say, “Everyone, please pay attention. Collection and reward" and other words, but the promotion of Zhu Congsheng's works was actually brought up by his readers after they went to mic...

Seeing that some viewers on the public screen began to question this matter, Lu Lianguang changed the subject and gave another step: "I'm just joking, of course there is, how could it not be? There are too many questions prepared by God, the host needs a little time to look through the script, it's okay, you go through it first, I will chat with everyone."

Lu Lianguang is not the kind of character who sees a friend being bullied, so he doesn't care about going up to 21 to beat up the other party to help his friend out. This kind of behavior seems to be very loyal, but it is easy to cause trouble for all three parties. On the contrary, he He is a highly emotional and thoughtful person.

Zhu Congsheng is an old author who has been in the circle for eight years. Lu Lianguang can tell the intention of the pen tip just by listening to interviews. He answered the question, which proved that at least for now, he didn't want to tear himself apart with his club.If it really turned into an unresolved live broadcast accident, there would be no room for change in the relationship between Zhu Congsheng and the nib, so Lu Lianguang's point of view would stop as soon as possible. The field was rescued again.

He interacted with the audience freely and said: "What would you like to talk to everyone about? By the way, before I turned on the mic just now, I saw some comments about fan works and the attitude of Zhushen towards readers on the public screen. As a Bamboo God has been writing fan humanities readers for seven years. I am probably qualified to chat with you on this topic. Bamboo God does rarely interact with readers... Cough, okay, okay, stop reading , why is there 'nothing at all'? Find out about the forum's official posts. In short, although there are few interactions, he is an author who cares more about readers' rights than anyone else, and has made great efforts for this.

"Fan fan profit is undoubtedly an illegal infringement. In fact, strictly speaking, even fan creation itself is infringing. This is why Western fan works usually issue a 'waiver statement' at the beginning of creation. I think Everyone should have this common sense, but it is just a question of whether the copyright owner will pursue it or not. Many people may not be aware that the industry norm in the professional circle of Internet authors is that most copyrights of works do not belong to the author, but It is the attribution website, which includes the adaptation rights infringed by fan works.

"Six years ago, many old readers should remember that I will not describe the Gloria canvas bag incident that caused a lot of trouble. In a work "Cocoon of the Universe", a very popular female character, six years ago, the nib issued a site-wide notice, seriously warning the infringement of the Gloria doujin canvas bag that was publicly sold online."

This is the scene of the [-]th anniversary of Nib, Lu Lianguang's speech is still very restrained and objective.In fact, although fan works are not legally justified, but for the sake of popularity, Bijian Literature Network turned a blind eye to the fandom of Zhu Congsheng's works in the early years, and it can even be said to be encouraging.

At that time, Zhu Congsheng was a promising newcomer author with a book full of gods, and the tip of his pen was also a young, male-focused literary website. In order to create an image close to the people, the official blog even reposted many fanarts of "Cocoon of the Universe" , among them, the silver-eyed female general Gloria Art appeared most frequently.Later, folk peripherals emerged in an endless stream, and the sales were considerable. The official also moved their minds. Unfortunately, when the nib was preparing to make the "Cocoon of the Universe" canvas bag series, the folks also released a Gloria canvas bag, which was even more unfortunate. Yes, the quality is really high. Once it goes on sale, it will inevitably threaten the sales of official peripherals.

Under such circumstances, the nib deleted all the fan works that had been forwarded before, and a warning letter was posted on the notification column of the official website, saying that if the fan team does not stop the pre-sale of canvas bags in time, the next step is to enter legal procedures .

Naturally, the doujin canvas bag did not sell well, but the practice of the nib caused a lot of controversy, and the official canvas bag released later also sold poorly.This incident also laid the foundation for the future marketing direction of the Nib. After this failed attempt, the Nib never directly sold peripheral derivative products, and they were all authorized to other companies or teams. This is a later story.

And Lu Lianguang's understanding of this matter was not limited to that.This is the home field of the pen nib. It is not easy for him to talk about these "causes", but it does not prevent him from talking about the "consequences". Anyway, before starting the microphone, he has already obtained Tang Cu's consent.

His voice no longer carried a gentle smile, but became serious and calm.

"After this incident, the creative enthusiasm of the entire fandom was hit hard, but it didn't take long for the rumors to pass, and people continued to publish books and peripherals one after another, and everyone gradually forgot about this incident. Now, bamboos are growing Every month in the fandom, excellent works are made into entities and sold on various public platforms openly; at the comic exhibition, even if your booth is placed next to the official platform, no one will come to you Trouble. Has anyone figured out why this is?"

The speed of swiping the screen on the public screen slowed down a lot, and many people were attracted by his words.

"This is because Bamboo God went to find the nib at the first time when the incident happened, and fought for a long time before taking back the right to adapt "Cocoon of the Universe". And the soil that can be relied on for survival. As far as I know, there are currently several teams operating doujin products and many full-time doujin creators who started out by growing doujin from bamboo bushes.

"It's not that no one came to trouble you, it's just that the bamboo god blocked it for you. The price he paid was a large amount of liquidated damages, and sacrifices and concessions on a large number of other contract terms. And what did he get? ?Fanren profit, the original author can’t get a penny, and no one has ever thought about bringing the original author to share. .But……"

When Lu Lianguang said this, he was finally a little moved. He paused for two seconds to ease his emotions before continuing: "But if he doesn't say anything, you should know that he really cares about readers. He is alone under pressure from the authorities. I've got it down, there are some things he doesn't want to say, so let me say it today. Forget about others, there are some people who claim to be fans, don't enjoy his protection while complaining, Bamboo God never pays attention to people , Bamboo God doesn’t respect us. He’s paid so much behind his back, and he’s just getting these back, think about how hurtful this is..."

Lu Lianguang is an author who is extremely good at eliciting empathy from readers, coupled with his excellent eloquence, within a few minutes of his speaking, the public screen was already crying.

[Audience]: QAQ, my bamboo god...

[Audience]: I burst into tears! ! !

[Audience]: I actually cried too if it wasn't bamboo bush powder...

[Guest author] Qi Xiejia: Liquidated damages are really expensive! ! !The strength feels sorry for the Bamboo God!

[Audience]: I suddenly want to be the leader of the Bamboo God.

[Audience]: I've been watching the pirated version, I'm so ashamed, I couldn't even give him the subscription money, now I'm going to recharge the revised version of QAQ

[Audience]: The tears are out of control, I'm going to vote for Zhushen Xinwen to calm down.

[Audience]: Still shocked that Katayu is a man... If I remember correctly, there seems to be Danmei among his fans? ? ?

[Audience]: Although it seems out of place, I really want to know, Mrs. Kataba... Uh, Da Da, do you know Bamboo God in real life?And it seems that we have known each other for a long time?

Seeing that some people had calmed down one after another, Lu Lianguang cleared his throat and said, "Bamboo God doesn't seem to be feeling well, we might go to the hospital. So let's stop here this time, everyone, don't forget to support Zhu God is currently serializing "Six Realms"! On behalf of Bamboo God, I would like to wish Niipi a happy [-]th birthday, host, I will return the show to you."

After he finished speaking, he turned off the microphone decisively, leaving a public screen that seemed to have been bombed by an atomic bomb.

"What's wrong with you?" Lu Lianguang asked after leaving the live broadcast room.

Tang Cu met his concerned eyes, as if he had been burned, he quickly lowered his head, remembering how this man defended him in front of hundreds of thousands of people just now, he curled up his fingers in bewilderment.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Lu Lianguang felt a little anxious. He stepped forward and knelt down in front of him, put one hand on Tang Cu's knee, and looked up at his face worriedly, "Although I was just making an excuse just now. ...Are you really unwell? Or do you have a stomachache? Then shall we go to the hospital now?"

Tang Cu had already seen this man's resolute execution, afraid that he would really drag him to the hospital, so he replied in a panic: "No, I just have a stomachache. Also, it's not because of a stomachache, I..."

He didn't dare to look directly at the other party's concerned and anxious eyes, and he didn't dare to speak out.

His mother's sharp roar pierced time and space from his distant boyhood: It's not that you don't want to make friends, you can't make friends!No one wants to be friends with a sick monster!

no!The teenage Tang Cu is still a little boyish, he argues, no, I just like to be alone and read a book, there are girls who are active, and boys who are quiet, there is nothing abnormal!

But later, his life became worse and worse, and his "sickness" was exposed, which was much more serious than "a boy hiding in the room and reading idle books all day long". This time, he grew up in a small traditional village. The old poor mother had a complete breakdown, and she no longer had the confidence to teach her son to return to the right path by scolding, so she sent him to the hospital.

Like a curse, his mother's words were finally verified. It's not that he doesn't want to make friends, he can't make friends anymore.

After being hospitalized for half a year, Tang Cu's "disease" was cured, but since then, he has also completely, thoroughly, and permanently lost his social skills.
