Chapter 226: Online Author Care Program

A contracted author of Zhang Rulong's starting point literary network, he has been writing at the starting point two years ago, and now the novel "My Sassy Girlfriend", which has just been on the shelves for more than four months, is the second novel released by Zhang Rulong at the starting point, and the response from readers is not bad. Before it was put on the shelves, his collection of books had exceeded 5,000, and after it was put on the shelves, the ratio of receiving could reach 50 to 1, plus the reward of full attendance or something, there was still an income of three or four thousand per month. Sometimes readers give more tips and subscriptions, and even seven or eight thousand a month, which is comparable to an ordinary white-collar worker.

By the way, Zhang Rulong's pen name is called "Yuluo", a very ordinary pen name, but it is already well-known at today's starting point, and it can be regarded as a writer at the level of a small god.

Zhang Rulong's daily work is to get up in the morning and make a little breakfast by himself, then turn on the computer to browse the news for about ten minutes, and then look at the outline he wrote and start to code. From half past eight in the morning to about eleven o'clock in the afternoon, I can code out almost 4,000 words, and take a nap for an hour after lunch. After taking a nap, he continued to code words after doing exercise, and after dinner in the evening, he would go out for a walk for an hour or so before starting to code words again, coding about 12,000 words a day, of which 9,000 words were sent every day and 3,000 words were saved.

In June 2013, Shi Xue, a contracted writer at the starting point, died suddenly in his rental house at the age of 23. In July 2013, Zhang Lei, the 35-year-old screenwriter and author of the original novel of "The Indelible Number", died after three years of battling cancer.

During this period of time, Zhang Rulong had just entered the ranks of online writing, and the news of the sudden death of these online writers due to overwork did make him hesitate for a long time whether he should enter the ranks of online novels, but in the end Zhang Rulong decided to join in. After all, he loved writing very much, and he didn't know what he could do other than code.

In order to prevent the tragedy of those colleagues who died young from falling on his head, Zhang Rulong's daily routine is very regular, and he still has a lot of manuscripts, even if he can't write Kawen for a few days occasionally, he doesn't have to worry about readers urging him.

On this day, Zhang Rulong got up as usual to make breakfast for himself, and just after getting dressed and walking a few steps, he felt a tightness in his chest, and it seemed that his breathing had become difficult. Zhang Rulong sat on the bed for a while before feeling better, but the symptoms were still there, so he called his editor in charge to ask for leave, and then went to the hospital for examination.

The results of the examination came out quickly, Zhang Rulong looked at the examination report and said to the doctor in disbelief: "Doctor, you can't be mistaken, how can I have a myocardial infarction when I am so young?!" ”

The doctor was a middle-aged man in his forties, he held his glasses and said: "Young man, it is accurate to say that you have a myocardial infarction, which is more serious than a myocardial infarction, you must be hospitalized immediately, otherwise you will be in danger of life!" ”

Zhang Rulong was stunned, he really couldn't figure out how he was so young, and his life was very regular, and he exercised every day, how could he get myocardial infarction, which is a disease of middle-aged and elderly people?

"Doctor, how much do you have to pay for hospitalization?" Zhang Rulong asked cautiously.

The doctor said: "Pay 10,000 yuan first, but this money is estimated to be enough for three days at most, you go and inform your family to prepare the money first." ”

10,000 is only enough for three days?

Zhang Rulong saved so much in two years at the starting point, but he didn't expect it to be enough to stay in the hospital for three days, no wonder some people slipped through a paragraph to describe that the hospital could not afford to live, "Get rid of poverty for three or five years, and return to the past with a disease; If you have appendicitis, you will plough the field for a year; As soon as the ambulance sounded, a pig was raised in vain; If you live in the hospital once, you will work for nothing for a year! ”

Zhang Rulong now has a deep understanding of the helplessness of this sentence, no wonder many poor residents in China are now "minor illnesses are delayed, major illnesses are carried, and serious illnesses are waiting to see the king of Hades." I didn't want to go to the hospital for treatment.

Zhang Rulong returned to his rental house and told his parents about his situation, and his parents transferred the 150,000 yuan they had saved to buy a house to his account without saying a word, and told him to go to the hospital immediately. Zhang Rulong turned on his computer, explained his illness and the editor in charge, and took a few months off for his work.

……

"Chairman, that's about the contract author called 'Yuluo', we have contacted the hospital for the disease of myocardial infarction, and we have confirmed that it is true, and we let his editor-in-charge represent the starting point and the entire mythology and literature to send him a serious illness relief fund of 200,000 yuan."

Hou Lehong, the person in charge of mythological literature, said worriedly that he was originally the president of Zongheng Literature Network, and later after the Mythology Group acquired the entire Shanda Literature, Li Haoyu saw that he was indeed talented, so he made him the president of the entire Mythological Literature, responsible for the operation of many literary sites under Mythological Literature. Hou Lehong did not live up to Li Haoyu's expectations of him, and after becoming the president of mythological literature, he worked hard to make the entire mythological literature rejuvenated.

Li Haoyu frowned and said: "For online authors, is our website not caring enough?" ”

Hou Lehong nodded in agreement: "That's true, but the online author only publishes his own works on our platform, not our employees, and in terms of the welfare of our mythological literature, it is already the best in the Chinese online literature industry. ”

Li Haoyu asked: "How many authors of mythological literature have settled in at present?" ”

Hou Lehong didn't think about it: "There are nearly five million authors who publish novels in mythological literature, of which there are about 800,000 to 900,000 contracted authors, about 100,000 authors who can get manuscript fees, and more than 40,000 professional or semi-professional authors. ”

Li Haoyu's fingers habitually tapped regularly on the table, and when he did this action, it meant that he fell into a state of contemplation, and after a few minutes, he suddenly asked: "What is the living situation of these signed authors now?" ”

"Most of those non-professional authors are here to write and play tickets, they don't need to be a writer to survive this income, and some of them are semi-professional, most of them are very idle or like to write, if their novels sell well in the future, they are likely to quit their jobs and write full-time. The last part is professional authors, they rely on the reader's subscription and reward and the site's full attendance and other benefits to eat, this part of the people because of the long-term fatigue of writing, there is no 'five insurances and one housing fund', and there are readers urging the manuscript such as urging, this part of the people except for a few 'gods', others are not very good. Hou Lehong said truthfully.

"That's not going to work!" Li Haoyu can imagine the tragic scene of those middle- and low-level professional authors, "Semi-professional and working authors don't care about it first, the full-time author website buys half of the social security for them, and the other half is deducted from their manuscript fees, and two or three hundred per month should not affect their lives." Well, every year, they are organized to go to the hospital in the author's city for a full body examination, and the money is also fully paid by the website, in addition, the serious illness relief fund has also been increased from a maximum of 200,000 to a maximum of 300,000, and the author's tips and subscriptions during the illness are paid in full to the author......"

Li Haoyu said a lot of proposals at once, and Hou Lehong turned into a bitter gourd face when he heard it, these benefits really have to be implemented, and it is a question of whether the entire mythological literature can still be profitable.

"Chairman, these benefits will greatly reduce the profitability of the website." Hou Lehong said it very tactfully, and did not add the sentence that perhaps mythological literature would fall into a loss because of this.

Li Haoyu said with a smile: "Mr. Hou, I just gave you a proposal, and you need to handle how to implement these benefits." In addition, now you don't need to care about making a little less money or even losing money, if necessary, the Myth Group will inject funds in, and we must let those professional authors have a stable environment for them to create better works. There is also the author called 'Feather Fall', and the website must try its best to cure his illness. ”

Hou Lehong said thoughtfully: "Chairman, I understand. ”

A few days later, a new welfare system was released on all websites under the umbrella of Mythology and Literature, "Online Literature Professional Author Care Plan", which included paying half of the social security for professional authors, regular free physical examinations, increasing the serious illness relief fund to 300,000 yuan, and purchasing commercial insurance for accidents such as accidental death and disability for free, and took the author Yu Luo, the starting point, as an example to illustrate the necessity of these benefits.

In addition to the authors who have signed contracts on the literary websites of Baidu or Tencent, a considerable number of authors have collectively defected to the major websites of mythology and literature, and even many of those authors who have signed contracts have sent new books to the websites of mythology and literature.

This time, the temptation of the new welfare system for those professional authors is too great, and everyone knows that the current online authors do not have any protection now, and they have launched insurance for accidental death and other situations at the beginning of the past, followed by the serious illness relief fund of mythology and literature. Now there is this professional writer care plan, they themselves are more secure in the writing process than on other websites, which web writer doesn't like such a website?

Even some people who are still hesitating whether they should write full-time have made up their minds this time, and with the welfare system of mythological literature, they no longer have to worry about the writing process!
