Chapter 131: The first special treatment for the essay should be!
Weekends always go by so fast that it's Monday again!
No. 1, 6th Floor, Unit 3, Building C, Bauhinia Garden, Starting Point Studio - CEO's Office!
"Didi...... Didi Di ......"
Chen Mo heard the QQ prompt sound, and quickly opened the chat dialog box between him and "Perfume Lily", only to see that "Perfume Lily" sent him three QQ messages in a row.
Article 1: "Mr. Mo, I have drafted the "Copyright Buyout Contract for Literary Works". ”
Article 2: "Do I print the paper version for you to see, or do I send you an electronic version?"
Article 3: "?????"
In line with the principle of "green office", Chen Mo replied in the chat box with "Perfume Lily": "Electronic version. ”
In the next second, Chen Mo's QQ received the online document "Literary Works Copyright Buyout Contract" from "Perfume Lily"!
"Perfume Lily" is one of the contracted editors of the starting point, whose real name is Tang Wei.
The night before yesterday, when Chen Mo and Fang Ling were having dinner, they were thinking, should he give the winner of the 2002 Fan Essay Contest a special treatment?
The author's canonization of the gods does not mean that he can sit back and relax, especially the jingle bell is not based on the quality of the work, but on the creativity of the work.
There is no shortage of people in the world who follow the trend, and the same is true for writing books, don't look at Ding Dong who created the transformation of the lily stream, but her writing strength and update speed are difficult for her to sit firmly on the position of the founder of the transformation of the lily stream, so people will sigh from time to time "The back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, and the front waves die on the beach." ”
To tell the truth, if it weren't for the website, no, Chen Mo would have praised Ding Dong Dang, Ding Ding Dong would not have been able to become a god with the book "My Lily Career in Datang", and with the quality and update speed of the work of "My Lily Career in Datang", it would be sooner or later surpassed by followers, after all, this kind of example has been common in another time and space, and this has even broken out a war of words between fans of original and follow-up works!
It is exactly like this, like Ding Ding Dong, a great god who is a god with a book of creative works, his godhead is extremely unstable, and if there is no website to help operate the hype, it is inevitable that the godhead will be descended after three or five months, and the situation is serious and even the godhead will fall.
Whether it is for the main quest, or for the personal relationship of friends, public and private, Chen Mo thinks that he should help Ding Ding Dong stabilize the godhead.
So how should Chen Mo help Ding Dong stabilize the godhead of the great god and prevent Ding Ding Dang, the fan essay champion, from being short-lived?
Chen Mo thought about it and finally set his eyes on the seventh author benefit launched at the starting point - the buyout plan for excellent works!
The rules are dead, people are alive, and I am in charge of my website, so Chen Mo decided to give the winner of the 2002 Fan Essay Contest a special treatment, that is, a "Work Buyout Contract".
No, the new week has just begun, Chen Mo instructed Tang Wei to draft a "Literary Works Copyright Buyout Contract" for him on the basis of the "Exclusive Licensing Agreement for Literary Works", in fact, Chen Mo can let the system automatically generate a "Literary Works Copyright Buyout Contract", the problem Tang Wei and others don't know that he has a system, he asked the system to automatically generate a "Work Buyout Contract", in Tang Wei and others' opinion, isn't the "Contract" proposed by him?
As the top person in charge of a website, is it appropriate for Chen Mo to let him draw up the "contract"? Chen default believes that things like the drafting of the "contract" should still be handed over to the subordinates of the corresponding work post, and he will be responsible for the final decision.
With the "Exclusive Licensing Agreement for Literary Works" as a template, Tang Wei's speed was very fast, and it took less than three hours to draw up the "Copyright Buyout Contract for Literary Works" for Chen Mo to see.
Chen Mo glanced at the ten lines, quickly scanned the "Contract", and then instructed in his heart: "System, help me see if there is a problem with the "Literary Works Copyright Buyout Contract" in front of me?"
With the system in hand, it is impossible for Chen Mo not to make the best use of it, right? "Contract" is no better than a novel, and it must be read clearly word by word, otherwise it is easy to be exploited.
"Literary Works Copyright Buyout Contract", as the name suggests, is a 1,000-word full copyright buyout of literary works, that is to say, if Party A's website signs this "Work Buyout Contract" with Party B's author, then the copyright of the buyout work signed by Party B's author and Party A's website will be owned by Party A's website from the date of signing the "Contract".
For example, if the starting point is 20 yuan for a thousand-word buyout price of "My Lily Career in Datang", if "My Lily Career in Datang" is ordered to break 10000 or even 10,000 yuan on the shelves in the future, or if it is adapted by film and television, audio, games, etc., "My Lily Career in Datang" earns more than the 1,000-word buyout price, and the website can not give a dime to its author, because the copyright of "My Lily Career in Datang" has been bought out by the website.
Of course, as a former network author, it is impossible for Chen Mo to seriously exploit his authors in this way, and he wants the horses to run well, and he wants the horses not to eat grass, is this possible?
Therefore, Chen Mo instructed Tang Wei to mark a clause in the "Work Buyout Contract" that "if the work has outstanding results, you can enjoy the opportunity to raise the price of 1,000 words on the website", otherwise, "the work will be cut in half by the website at a certain number of words", after all, the website opens the door to do business, not to open a good hall, and Chen Mo cannot always make a loss-making transaction.
"Ding Dong! "Literary Works Copyright Buyout Contract" is no problem. ”
The system is the foundation of Chen Mo's foothold in the world of novels, and Chen Mo believes in the judgment of the system, so after taking a reassuring pill, he instructed Perfume Lily through QQ: "I have finished reading the contract, you can notify Ding Ding Dong to come to the studio to re-sign the contract." By the way, you can add an article at the end of the "Contract", and both parties shall be subject to the latest "Contract". ”
Personal friendship is personal friendship, work is work, and everything goes through formal procedures.
Since "My Lily Career in Datang" was bought out by the website with a thousand words, the benefits such as creation subsidies and capital completion guarantees enjoyed in the "Agreement" signed between "My Lily Career in Datang" and the website were automatically cancelled.
Soon, Perfume Lily replied, "Okay. Mr. Mo, I would like to ask how to fill in the column of the thousand-word buyout price of "My Lily Career in Datang"?"
That's right, how many thousand words is the right buyout price on the website of "My Lily Career in Datang"?
Based on Chen Mo's understanding of Fang Ling, even if the website only offers the lowest buyout price of "20 yuan/thousand words", Fang Ling is also very willing, you must know that Fang Ling can deliver 120,000 words a month, 20 yuan per thousand words, and 2,400 yuan a month.
Question, Ding Ding Dong is the first god-level author at the starting point, and the website only gives a buyout price of 20 yuan for 1,000 words, will this be too cheap?
Chen Mo hesitated for a moment and replied, "You just fill in 50 thousand words!"
To be honest, with the quality of the content of Ding Dingdong's "My Lily Career in Datang", it was not worth the buyout price of 50 yuan per thousand words at all in 2003, but with the resounding name of "Transforming into the Founder of Lily Flow" on Ding Dingdong's head, the buyout price of 50 yuan for 1,000 words given by the website is not too much of a loss, as far as the current investment is concerned!
In fact, the website invests not only in a potential stock like Ding Dingdong, but also creates a kind of "money to buy horse bones" for the authors.
