Chapter 312: A Winding Road
This is the case with the sharing contract, and the author has no say at all in the buyout contract.
To put it simply, more than ninety percent of online authors, as long as they sign a contract, that is a situation where they do not have the right to dispose of copyright.
This, to put it simply, can be regarded as an overlord clause.
But all newcomers, even all characters below the god level, can only sign these kinds of contracts.
If you want full copyright, then use the form of a contract for site sharing.
Resident sharing is such a form of contract. If you upload a work on the website, it is not completely impossible for the website to give a recommendation position. In the case of the last subscription, tipping, etc., you have the right to share. The copyright is also your own, and the website has no ability to dispose of such copyright.
It seems to be okay? It's almost all in favor of the author's direction.
But in fact, in addition to the real super god, there is only a new person who doesn't know anything, holding the work that he has prepared for a long time, and is extremely satisfied with his work, and feels that he will definitely be able to become a god in a book, so he will choose the situation of the station sharing contract.
The reason is very simple, the income from the copyright part of the really excellent works is the big one.
If a work of the same level signs a residency contract, the income is much worse for the website. Therefore, in the case of the same level of fiction, the website of course gives priority to the better recommendation positions to those works that have signed a buyout contract, followed by the works that share the contract. Finally, there are the works that are divided into stations.
To put it simply, unless you are a real god, the resident sharing contract of ordinary authors is almost a situation where there is no recommendation at all after signing the contract.
Why do most authors find novel websites to publish their works, instead of just taking the manuscript and going to the publisher to help publish it?
It's because places like online novel websites do have quite a lot of advantages.
In the final analysis, it is not ordinarily difficult for ordinary authors to become famous through real channels with their own works as treasures. If you can succeed directly through such channels, you are no longer an ordinary author.
Even if you don't have the experience of writing online articles before, after understanding the basic situation in the online literature world, you will soon be able to grow to at least the level of a small god.
After all, there are a few authors who can become gods in one book. The vast majority of authors have to come out of the bottom first.
From the beginning, I wanted to take the road of reality publishing, and in most cases, I spent money to print hundreds of copies to send to friends, which can be regarded as fulfilling my dream of being a writer.
But through the recommendation of those recommendation positions on the novel website, it is possible to let more people know about their works before you become a great author.
Slowly, more and more people will follow your work, and you will be able to really grow. At least not to mention more, let's mix an ordinary contract first, and if you can have a monthly income of two or three thousand, it is worth sticking to.
Online writers with an income of two or three thousand months, if they want to become famous through real channels, in terms of ability, it is actually far from enough.
Therefore, it is better to slowly boil in the online literature industry and slowly improve your writing level to have the possibility of real success.
So to put it simply. Don't blame other websites for coming up with such overlord contracts, 99.99% of authors, when they first enter the industry, they still need subsidies from other websites.
It's not these online novel websites, when the author's level is far from enough, they provide online authors with at least an income that can support themselves. The vast majority of authors simply can't stick to it.
Xu Qing was an online writer in his last life, so he was very clear about these situations.
The copyright sharing contract, in the final analysis, is actually a road provided by other websites for new authors. And for the vast majority of authors, there is no one to take the channel of the novel website, and it is not so easy to sell the copyright by themselves.
You have all the copyrights yourself, and without the help of the channels of the website, even if it is a relatively good work, it is already very good to be able to sell the copyright of 300,000 yuan.
If it is a novel website, the website has its own channels, and it may be able to sell the copyright for 800,000 yuan.
You sell 300,000 yuan yourself, but other websites help you professionally divide the copyright out for counterpart sales, and finally win 800,000 yuan. 800,000 is a proportional share, which is 400,000 income. Which situation do you say is more appropriate?
Therefore, for non-supergod authors, there is not so much to worry about when signing a sharing or even buyout contract with the website.
It is precisely for this reason that from the very beginning, Xu Qing had nothing to reject such a situation.
I knew that Huayu Chinese Network here, what was sent to "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" was a copyright sharing contract, but Xu Qing still let Zeng Yurou sign it.
Because it's a very simple situation, all websites, are like this. An author who didn't have much popularity before wants to get the full copyright directly from the beginning, and accept the support of the website's recommendation bit.
It's not almost impossible, it's just absolutely impossible.
At that time, Xu Qing really needed to use Huayu Chinese Network to help "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" in terms of popularity.
And Zeng Yurou's next work, in fact, there is no need to be so entangled. With the popularity of "Tomb Robbery Notes", Zeng Yurou can completely claim the full copyright of herself, and the very few gods in the previous life are generally like this.
And in fact, the author of the online article is not completely without the possibility of controlling the copyright.
The most basic way is to become a god first, and after becoming a god, you can ask yourself to master all the copyrights for the next work.
And even if you don't become a god, it's not completely impossible.
When you have just finished this book, you can also take the initiative to find a website to buy out this part of the copyright of your work.
To be honest, it's a money-making anyway, who is it not sold to?
Before the work has time to become popular, it is not impossible to spend money to control the copyright in your hands.
And Xu Qing himself considered "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" like this. At this time, Xu Qing had actually begun to contact Huayu Chinese Network, and first asked about the approximate price. In a short period of time, Xu Qing needs to earn enough money to take down the copyright of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" first.
The ghost blows the lamp and is on fire now, but in the end, the number of words is too small and the book is finished. The editor of Huayu Chinese Network made a suggestion to let Zeng Yurou continue to write, but Xu Qing felt that it was really unnecessary.
In such a situation, even Huayu Chinese Network would never think of how high the copyright value of a work like "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" could be raised in a few years. Now to buy out the copyright of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", in fact, it doesn't cost much money at all.
