Chapter 114: New Contracts

On January 15, 2006, under the attention of many industry insiders and professional authors, the 2nd Annual Conference of Original Literature Success Tour and Starting Point Authors was held in Shanghai Thumb Square.

When Wei Mingrang came to the stage to sing "I Believe", the atmosphere at the scene was the most enthusiastic, and many authors applauded below.

Wei Mingrang, who is both a singer and an author, is undoubtedly the most popular on the scene.

After a short theatrical performance, it was time for the award ceremony.

There is no doubt that the 2005 Outstanding Achievement Award for Author of the Year and the overall winner of the monthly ticket of the year was awarded to Yanyu Jiangnan, the author of "Blasphemy".

"Profanity" fully dominated the championship in the first four months after the establishment of the monthly ticket list, and was in the top few almost every month after that, and there is no doubt that the total number of accumulated monthly tickets won the annual championship.

This is not only an honor, but also a cash prize of 80,000 yuan.

Wei Mingrang undoubtedly won the 2005 Outstanding New Talent Award for his perverted performance in "Buddha is the Way", which was later commonly known as the Newcomer King of the Year, and this bonus was only 50,000.

There are not many awards now, and after the Outstanding Achievement Award and the Outstanding New Talent Award, there is a signing ceremony for the simplified publication of five works arranged at the starting point.

Wei Mingrang's "Buddha is the Way" has now been published in the traditional Chinese version of Taiwan to more than 1 million words, and the sales are gratifying.

Therefore, it is only natural that some publishers in the mainland are discussing the publication of simplified Chinese.

However, this was the starting point to help Wei Mingrang contact, and they naturally took it as an achievement to sign a contract at the annual meeting.

At this time, online novels did not have the concept of full copyright operation of film and television, games, and animation, and it was not easy to sign a contract for publication.

Therefore, the simplified signing of five people, including Wei Mingrang and Tang Jiasanshao, made the other authors in the audience envious.

After the publication signing was over, the starting point held an on-site lucky draw, of course, the lottery was limited to the author.

Dancing, Blood Red and the others were quite elated when they drew mobile keyboards or photoelectric keyboards and mice, but Wei Mingrang didn't get anything.

The day after the annual meeting, Wei Mingrang had a separate on-site negotiation with the management of the starting point on the signing of the next work.

Although "Buddha is the Way" has only been serialized for more than 4 months, it has basically entered the end under Wei Ming's monthly update of more than 400,000 words.

When Wei Mingrang was a pure newcomer in the first book, the contracts were all standard, and Wei Mingrang didn't talk nonsense, because he knew that bargaining was useless.

But now that the pen name of Ming Qiao has broken out, "Buddha is the Way" has set a record for the highest subscription and average booking at the starting point, winning the monthly ticket list from October to December for three consecutive years, and it will obviously continue to win the championship in January 2006.

Therefore, the second book obviously can no longer use the previous contract, and Wei Mingrang proposed a ratio of ninety-one shares: website one, Wei Mingrang nine.

Moreover, this is only the exclusive first release contract of the Chinese electronic version, and does not include other exclusive copyright agents, nor does it include electronic publishing translated into foreign languages in the future.

In this way, the lion's wide opening naturally makes the starting point difficult to accept.

But Wei Mingrang's identity is not only an author, he is also a singer and the boss of the school intranet. Wei Mingrang wrote the book at the starting point, not only to get the manuscript fee from the starting point, but also to bring a lot of additional traffic to the starting point.

At least, many Wei Mingrang fans, who didn't read novels before, entered the starting point and merged into the pit online novel because of Wei Mingrang.

Therefore, the top management of the starting point did not refuse, but tried to bargain.

But after Wei Mingrang vaguely revealed that he could use the traffic on the school's intranet to open a novel website by himself, the high-level leaders at the starting point chose to retreat and accepted Wei Mingrang's conditions.

In this regard, Wei Mingrang got a contract with the highest percentage of the starting author's share.

However, after signing the contract, Wei Mingrang gave the starting point a copy of the ideas that proved successful behind the buyout, guarantee, subsistence system, reward, fan list, etc., which surprised the founders of the starting point, and the dissatisfaction with Wei Ming's harsh contract in his heart also disappeared.

After signing the new contract and agreeing on the release time of the new book, Wei Mingrang and some of the authors had a private dinner to exchange writing experiences, and then returned to Chongqing on January 17.

Next, in addition to being invited to attend a few corporate annual meetings and taking some appearance fees, Wei Mingrang prepared a new book in his spare time.

On January 25th, the twenty-sixth day of the lunar month, the network cloud company and the school network company held an annual meeting, and Wei Mingrang took out 100,000 yuan in cash for the annual meeting on-site lottery, and the special prize was 10,000 yuan, which is equivalent to the salary of ordinary employees for several months.

And even if you can't draw the grand prize, there are participation prizes, and no one will go home empty-handed.

Coupled with the year-end bonus that has been paid with the salary, the whole annual meeting is happy.

The next day, after arranging the duty during the Spring Festival, Wei Mingrang flew to Guiyang with his cousin Li Yuexia, agent Tang Jining, and two of Tang Jining's newly recruited assistants to participate in the last rehearsal of Guizhou Satellite TV's Spring Festival Gala.

In fact, the rehearsal of the Spring Festival Gala has already been carried out twice, and some singing and dancing performances have even been eliminated, and Wei Ming can only participate in the last rehearsal when he came.

But Wei Mingrang is relatively simple because he is a soloist, and with his fame, the 2,000 yuan travel subsidy is not enough for him to go back and forth to Chongqing and Guiyang to participate in several rehearsals.

Ningning, Gong Linna, and He Jie were the same, and they all came to the last rehearsal on the twenty-seventh day of the lunar month.

When he arrived at Guiyang Airport, Guizhou Satellite TV's own film crew, as well as several newspapers and online media contacted, greeted him in the waiting hall.

It's for propaganda.

Therefore, Wei Mingrang did not have any cover-up, and was recognized by many fans.

"Wow, it's Mingqiao!"

"Really!"

"He sings the rare words? I like it so much. ”

"Quick, get him to sign an autograph and take a photo. ”

After being interviewed by some reporters in the waiting hall, answering some questions, and taking photos with fans for more than half an hour, Wei Ming asked Cai and the employees sent by Yuan Yi to pick him up left together and went to the Guizhou Radio and Television Building.

Watching Wei Mingrang leave in the car of Guizhou Satellite TV, those online media took the lead and broke the news that Wei Mingrang arrived in Guiyang and went to Guizhou Satellite TV, which caused heated discussions among many fans and book fans.

"Mingqiao wants to participate in this year's Guizhou Satellite TV Spring Festival Gala?"

"It's basically confirmed, Ming Qiao arrived in Guiyang today, took a car from Guizhou Satellite TV and left the airport, there are photos. ”

"Ming Qiao will sing three songs, one of which is a new song. ”

"Mingqiao is about to release a new song again, the stage is the Guizhou Satellite TV Spring Festival Gala, the live broadcast time is 19 o'clock in the evening of the 28th of the lunar month, I hope everyone will hear Mingqiao's new song for the first time. ”

Needless to say, even some fans and book fans of Wei Mingrang in other provinces are looking forward to Guizhou Satellite TV's Spring Festival Gala and are ready to watch it on time tomorrow.

PS: The previous chapter 114 was blocked due to content violations, and it also interrupted the plot and train of thought that Mingqiao himself planned to write, and now this chapter is rewritten, and the heart is congested.
