Two of the biggest attractions of the Internet: free and free. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Zhao Zejun is good, the previous 'reward' measure, to a certain extent, to the 'free' part of the operation, but after all, it was only 'to some extent', the operation was not large, and the nature of the free operation was not changed in essence.

But this signing completely deprives the author of his 'right to freedom'.

Not only Song Yun was puzzled, but everyone in Zeyue felt that Zhao Zejun's approach was incomprehensible and even absurd.

Yes, under the promotion of Zeyue, the benefits of online novel authors have indeed increased, but even in Zeyue, where the benefits are the best, most online novel writers still don't have much income.

Even middle-level writers with a certain degree of popularity have extremely limited income from online novels;

Only a very small number of people who have reached the level of blood cloud can currently be worth an ordinary job with the diligent writing award and the income from tipping.

But it is still far away to make a fortune by relying on income.

Everyone understands that if you have a harvest, you must have to pay, and it is not impossible to give freedom, but the premise is that there must be enough harvest.

In this case, the website has to sign a mandatory contract with the author, which not only deprives the author of his 'personal freedom', but also robs the copyright of the novel, and pays a disproportionate return, which author would be willing?

There is a sentence that the Zeyue employees present dare not say, Zhao Zejun's move, what is the bottom of the kettle, it is simply a capital enemy!

The two website alliances made it clear that they wanted to join forces to dig people in Zeyue, and this 'signing system' is equivalent to forcing away some authors and helping each other poach people!

If Zhao Zejun was not Zeyue's boss, almost all Zeyue's employees thought that this person was an undercover agent sent by the other party.

"I know everyone's concern that as soon as the signing policy comes out, there will definitely be a large number of authors lost. "It's hard for others to say, but Zhao Zejun himself expressed everyone's worries.

Song Yun coughed: "Mr. Zhao, we spent so much money and energy before, not just to compete with other websites for authors. The other two stations will definitely take advantage of this opportunity to poach a large number of people from us......"

Zhao Zejun laughed, and the old god always said: "Let them dig, the more they dig, the better!"

Everyone looked at each other.

"Everyone, for all reasons, let me sell it. It was decided that from now on, Zeyue will implement a contract system. Zhao Zejun smiled faintly and finally made a decision.

Out of secrecy, now he can't say it thoroughly, it's easy to dig people, I'm afraid that when the time comes, they will be able to eat and spit out!

……

Before the news reached the author's level, there were already many opposing voices within Zeyue.

Strictly speaking, except for Zhao Zejun himself, who proposed it, Zeyue everyone had different attitudes, and several old team members who followed Zhao Zejun raised objections on the spot, and although some middle-of-the-road people did not say it explicitly, the attitude at the meeting also explained their position.

At this time, it reflects the advantages of Zeyue Yiyantang.

If it is placed on another website, Huanjian or Starting Point, there are several shareholders, a large group of co-entrepreneurs with close power, this proposal is likely to be stillborn on the spot because of different opinions, and even if it is passed, it will inevitably go through a long period of discussion and game, and miss the best opportunity.

At this time, Zeyue is completely Zhao Zejun's own decision, and his opinion is the company's will.

It can be discussed, it can be disagreed, and opinions can be reserved, but it must be strictly implemented unconditionally!

On the way forward, we need democracy that pools the wisdom of all people, and we also need the concentration of strong people to determine the overall situation.

A few days later, on the homepage of Zeyue Chinese Network, a "Letter to the Authors" was published.

The wording is simple and clear, and after a brief description of the current development trend of online novels, it is Zeyue's latest 'contract system'.

The main contents of the system include several points.

First, all authors who publish more than 50,000 words in Zeyue, regardless of the quality, can sign a contract with Zeyue Chinese Network;

Second, the contracted author, within the expiration of the contract, can only use the current pseudonym to publish the novel on Zeyue Chinese Network, and all copyrights of the novel belong to Zeyue Chinese Network;

Third, Zeyue Chinese has the responsibility and obligation to provide various support and benefits for authors.

At present, it specifically includes: the corresponding recommendation, the share of the reader's reward, the monthly diligent writing award, and once the copyright of the novel generates income, the author can also get a 50% profit share from it.

Fourth, signing is voluntary, and authors who are unwilling to sign a contract can still publish books on Zeyue Chinese Network, but they do not enjoy the support and benefits of the website.

Fifth, with the development and growth of the website, the contract system will be more strict in the future, with two-way selection, and only potential novels will be selected to sign contracts.

……

Not only is there a notification on the homepage of Zeyue, but each writer has received the same notification in the background.

The first reaction of the vast majority of writers is only three words: Why?

Why can't I write books on other websites? Where to write books is my freedom, what right do you have to restrict my freedom?

There is also the issue of copyright. Why did I give you the copyright of my book? In the end, if the copyright could make money, it would only give me half of it?

Isn't this Chiguoguo's exploitation and power!

Less than two days after the notice was issued, the customer service phone of Zeyue Chinese Network was almost burst, and the online service function of the website was almost paralyzed.

"Fuck, you Zeyue want to make money and want to go crazy, right?"

"Shameless, think you're really amazing? It's only been a few days, and you've started to squeeze writers?!"

"Greetings to your whole family, congratulations on your death!"

"If you continue like this, you just wait to close the door!"

……

It's all invective and insults, and hardly a word of kindness is heard.

Even in the writer group that Zhao Zejun originally established, it was also boiling back, many people quit the group directly, and the few people who had some dealings with Zhao Zejun left messages for him, asking what was going on, and in his tone, he was mainly dissatisfied.

There are only a very few people who have been directly assigned by Zhao Zejun to stand on Zeyue's side with a clear banner, that is, several god-level writers in Zeyue. They are too deeply involved with Ze Yue, and they have been firmly tied to a chariot, such as Yu Zhe and the like, their novels are almost created with the help of Zhao Zejun, even if Zhao Zejun wants all the copyrights, it is justified.

There was a lot of noise in the group.

Huanjian and the starting point learned about it almost at the same time.

"This Zhao Zejun is dying. Kong Decheng sneered and said to Rizhao: "See, it's still tender." As soon as we joined forces with the starting point, Ze Yue panicked and made a stupid move. He thinks he is taking a salary from the bottom of the kettle, and the end result can only force the writers to our side. ”

"Mr. Kong, I have been in contact with Zhao Zejun, and he understands online novels very well, so he shouldn't make such a big mistake. Rizhao was puzzled.

The last time I went to acquire Zeyue, I had an afternoon of contact with Zhao Zejun, and his impression of Zhao Zejun was actually very good, and he felt that the other party's understanding of online novels far surpassed his own, so he would not make such a stupid move.

Did he do this because of the combination of the starting point and Huanjian, and he rushed to the hospital in a hurry, or did he have some other intentions?

At present, just from the surface, the signing system is indeed a stupid trick. Now the so-called 'copyright income' is almost negligible, and forcing away the authors that the website has worked so hard to fight for for in order to determine the copyright in the future is tantamount to self-destruction of the Great Wall.

"Rizhao, don't think about things too complicated, no matter how smart a person is, there are times when he is confused. What's more, online novels are a new thing, and there is no ready-made experience to follow, this Zhao Zejun is known as the 'godfather of online novels', in fact, his understanding of online novels may not be more correct than you and me. "Comte became enlightened.

"So what do we do next?"

Kong Decheng thought for a while and said, "There will definitely be a large number of authors who will leave Zeyue next...... Well, let's communicate well with the starting point, we must not fight among ourselves at this time, in order to rob the author of his own fight, then maybe we really fell into Zhao Zejun's trap. In addition, the two of us are also making efforts to promote not only the authors who have left the company, but also to create a relaxed and free creative environment to attract new writers. ”

"Good. Rizhao nodded.

At the same time, in terms of starting point, Mr. Wu, who is in charge of the operation of the website, frowned.

The biggest advantage of starting point lies in talent. Formerly known as Chinese.com, the starting point of the Fantasy Alliance, several founders have a far better understanding of online novel writing and industry rules than simple investors like Kong Decheng.

When the news of Zeyue's implementation of the signing system came, the first reaction of the top management at the starting point was not that Zeyue was dizzy, but a huge vigilance!

Where did this Zhao Zejun come from?! Why can he be one step ahead of everything?!

The design style of the website and the recommended plan coincide with the idea of the starting point, but it is better than the starting point;

Using economic means to envelop the author, the starting point was about to start doing this, but he was one step ahead of Zeyue's reward and diligent writing!

The current signing system occupies a very important position in the next three-year plan of the starting point. After a long period of internal research and demonstration, the senior management of the starting point agreed that if online novels want to move towards formalization and professionalization, it is imperative for websites and authors to sign legal contracts.

As soon as the conditions are ripe, the starting point will immediately launch a contract system!

Who knows, Zeyue seized the opportunity again!

"Rizhao, I'm Lao Wu, what you Kong said is very right, now the two of us must cooperate sincerely, and take advantage of the current opportunity to hit Zeyue hard. Ze Yue's aggression is too strong, once he makes it bigger, both of us will be in big trouble!"
