Chapter 46 Copyright Disputes
"What?" Sprite almost exploded on the spot.
Lao Tzu has been waiting for you for so many days, sent so many short stations, and called you personally, and now the big night is still processing your contract and asking you, you just tell me that you can't sign it?
Are you kidding me?
"Why? what's wrong with this contract?" Sprite sent three questions in a second, which fully reflected his hand speed.
"I don't think it's fair about the contract, it's all my obligations, I don't have any power, which is not good. Mu Yuchen smiled.
Of course, he knows that the contracts for online articles are basically all pits, and the benefits of several popular novels in later generations are basically all given to the website, and those authors have no benefits except for false names.
Since he was reborn and has experience in this area, he has to suffer less in this matter.
"Brother, you are my eldest brother, everyone's contracts are like this, what's wrong?" Sprite persuaded bitterly.
Of course, he knows that this contract is not very fair, a bit similar to the overlord clause, but the website is like this, you are a newcomer, and the website can only give you such contract terms.
If you want to have a contract with better conditions, no problem, this book is booked, and the contract website of the next book will naturally give you better conditions.
"If that's the case, then I'll have to think about it. Mu Yuchen sent a smiling expression, "It just so happened that an editor from Huang also called me two days ago, and I will ask them about the conditions over there." ”
Mu Yuchen didn't really want to contact Conghuang, he just wanted to use Conghuang's matter to put some pressure on Sprite.
He wants to let the starting point know that he doesn't have to sign on the starting point, so that the website will give him more attention.
"What? from Huang also contacted you??who???????????
He didn't expect that Cong Huang's hand would be so long, and after digging away many great gods from the starting point, he would not let go of even the newcomer author who had just emerged.
However, he wasn't quite sure if the speechless Doudou had really been in contact with Cong Huang or if he was just pretending, so he had to ask more clearly.
"One of Huang's editors, called Onion, called me, and as it happens, he had just called me just before you called me last time. ”
Mu Yuchen knows that if you want to deceive people, you can't persuade you to tell a lie, it's best to be eight points true and two points false, so that others can believe it.
He said that if the Ancient God Emperor went to write from Huang, he could buy it out by twenty thousand words, and if he had good grades in the later stage, the price could still be raised, and if I had other ideas, I could also negotiate it. ”
He deliberately exaggerated Cong Huang's conditions, just to make Sprite have some pressure.
Onions?
Sprite gritted her teeth a little, if Mu Yuchen said someone else, he might not believe it, but this onion is really possible.
Because this guy jumped from the starting point network, after changing jobs, he will always come back to walk around when he has nothing to do, and when he sees a potential newcomer, he will try to flicker away.
He was originally the editor of the starting point network, and he was very familiar with the relationship here, and he was able to get internal information, so he really fooled several people for him.
The reason why Sprite has not been able to complete the internship task until now is because several authors he likes have been poached by onions, otherwise, his work is still relatively stable.
"You can't believe the onion, what kind of website is Conghuang, how can it compare with our starting point? We are the biggest and best website in the industry, only when we write here, can we get ahead. ”
Sprite tried to persuade.
"And Cong Huang, it's just a new website, it's hard to say whether there will be readers, if you go, you will definitely be pitted!"
"But your conditions are too harsh!" Mu Yuchen directly took a screenshot from the contract and sent it over, "Look here, the copyright income derived from this book will be distributed according to 90% of Party A and 10% of Party B." ”
Party A is the starting point network, and Party B is the author Mu Yuchen.
"The work I wrote, adapted from the copyright, and then the website and I were ninety-one, I'm afraid it's not appropriate, right?"
Mu Yuchen knew that there were many popular books in later generations, and the author could have made a fortune by relying on copyright, but because of such a contract, it became a website to make a fortune, and the author just followed and drank soup.
This is absolutely unbearable for him, and his requirements are not high, the same as electronic subscriptions, let's five or five, can't we?
"Doudou, you don't understand, in fact, adapting this, the website has to pay a lot, the situation here is very complicated, involving many aspects, and if you don't do it, you will lose money. Sprite felt a little bitter.
"Really?" Mu Yuchen smiled, "Since the website still has the possibility of losing money, I don't think I can drag down the website, or other derivative copyrights other than electronic copyrights, I won't authorize the website, so that the website will not be at risk." ”
"This ......" Sprite was stunned, he didn't expect that the author on the other side would be so difficult.
Where is this newcomer author, this is simply an old oil author who has been mixed for many years!
This can't be the trumpet of some old author, right?
This thought flashed through Sprite's mind, and the more he thought about it, the more reliable it became.
Looking at the writing rhythm and plot of the Ancient God Emperor, it doesn't look like a rookie author can write it at all, plus this guy is so serious about the contract, it's really an old author.
"I can't do this either, when I go to work tomorrow, I'll ask for instructions. Sprite chose to dodge, and there is always nothing wrong with finding a leader when it is difficult.
"Okay, you can help me and the leader to mention, anyway, my personal opinion is that either I and the website will derive the copyright, or I will not authorize it at all. I'll ask myself what the conditions are on the Huang side. ”
Mu Yuchen proposed two options, while continuing to exert pressure.
The book of the Ancient God Emperor, whether it is film and television, mobile games, or comics, can be changed, if this book is really popular, it is definitely a big IP, so Mu Yuchen will never allow himself to lose a piece of the pie.
"Okay, I'll ask the editor-in-chief tomorrow. Sprite has a headache, he, an intern editor-in-charge, feels like an opponent at all in the face of old fritters!
Mu Yuchen turned off the penguin and shook his head helplessly, it seems that it is also very difficult to develop quickly by relying on the novel.
But I must not stand still, whether it is milk tea or novels, what I should do is to continue to do it!
Mu Yuchen opened the document and continued to write.
