Chapter 052 Door-to-door delivery
Chang requisitioned for three days, without leaving the hotel, to complete the revision of the original manuscript of "Infinite Terror".
The original version of his document was on the computer in Nangang, and he didn't have it with him. However, you can download the documents for the public chapters on Fenghua.com. He can't download the documents of the VIP chapter himself, and he needs the approval of the editor-in-chief, and the editor-in-charge can help him operate it. Big Eyes has already helped him operate it, and the document for the VIP chapter has already been sent to him.
Of course, there is another way, which is to go to the piracy network. You can download the entire book of "Infinite Terror" at one time, 2.03 million words.
"Ouch, I'll go! Steal it, steal it, you guys who fight the party, can you be a little careful? Be distracted! Zheng Zha's words are all wrong, damn! It affects the reading experience too much. In the same chapter, there are so many aliases of Zheng Jiao, Zheng Fang, and Zheng Slag, and there are a bunch of garbled characters, Lao Tzu vomits blood! Is there a lot of pressure on you to renew the party? So many typos. Chang Zheng went to a pirated website, and he couldn't laugh or cry when he saw it.
Technical anti-theft is not a fundamental solution, no matter how strong the security door is, there is always a way for thieves to enter the room. For example, if you use hand-beaten people, no matter how advanced your technology is, you can't prevent them. Spend some money to subscribe to the genuine VIP chapter, according to the computer, how to prevent it?
In the "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" series, the great god of Ba Sing used a lot of rare words to set up obstacles for the hand to hit the party. The hand-to-hand party was indeed entangled, but readers were also confused later.
Chang Zheng feels that technical anti-theft, setting up obscuration of rare characters and other means are passive anti-theft, where the fire starts, where to put out the fire, it is difficult to cure the root cause. In fact, the method of drawing wages from the bottom of the kettle is very simple, first of all, there is a law to follow, and then the law enforcement must be strict, and finally a situation of no theft in the world is achieved.
Liu Bang entered Xianyang, abolished all tyranny and excesses of the Qin Dynasty, and only set three rules: "Make a covenant with your father, and the law is three chapters; The murderer dies, wounds and steals. ”
Of course, this can only be achieved with the strong support of the Tianhua government and the vigorous crackdown on piracy. Chang Zheng knew in his heart that this was not an overnight thing. The scope of Tianhuaguo's piracy industry is not only online articles or physical books, but also audio-visual products and various software.
Of course, the state can exert its efforts to eliminate piracy overnight. The very simple way is to enact a new law, and the pirates will be severely punished. It is not just the seizure of pirated products and fines, but also the link to the criminal law.
Just like drunk driving, the management was not very strict before, and the driver who drove under the influence of alcohol was caught by the traffic police, that is, he was fined, and his driver's license and points were deducted at most. Later, the new law on the management of drunk driving was promulgated, and drunk drivers were subject to detention, up to 15 days, and if the circumstances were serious, they were also imprisoned.
So now the number of drunk drivers has decreased significantly, drinking and not driving, driving and not drinking. Most of the people who have a car are not unemployed vagrants or gangsters, they have a legitimate career and a good income, and if they are arrested and locked up for 15 days, they may lose their jobs. This is the deterrent effect of the law, and if the people are afraid of the law, they will not dare to break the law.
The fight against piracy, with reference to the fight against drunk driving, should have an effect. Pirates are not outlaws, and most of them have no criminal record, just ordinary people. Habitual offenders with criminal records are not afraid of prison, but ordinary people without criminal records are afraid.
The fundamental reason why Tianhuaguo's piracy industry has not been completely eliminated for so many years is that genuine copies are too expensive, and the average income of ordinary people is not high. A genuine system disk sells for hundreds or even thousands of yuan, and pirated ones only sell for ten or eight yuan. Take Songzhou, the provincial capital, for example, many office workers only get two or three thousand yuan a month, or even less. What about students?
In Tianhua Kingdom, local tyrants and the middle class are in the minority after all, and most of the common people are still working-class. So the piracy industry has a lot of room to survive.
Many developed countries abroad have long been free of piracy, and their governments have cracked down on piracy very strictly. The average income of people in developed countries is higher, and they can spend part of their income to buy genuine copies.
Consumers' support for genuine products and respect for intellectual property rights are closely related to the basic income of the people. The so-called change of concept and resistance to piracy can only be achieved by the whole people when everyone has no worries about food and clothing.
As far as the current situation of Tianhua is concerned, forcibly eliminating piracy will not necessarily win the support of the broad masses of ordinary people. Everyone has a need for spiritual culture, but there is no piracy, and they can't afford to buy genuine copies, will it stimulate some folk emotions?
The state has cracked down on drunk driving because in recent years, there have been more and more cars, and more and more traffic accidents have been caused, and most of them are caused by drunk drivers. It's about human life, so we have to crack down. For the time being, piracy does not endanger the safety of people's lives and property.
Chang Zheng has an idea, a trial method, a way to get the best of both worlds. It can not only protect the intellectual property rights of the writer, but also take into account the emotions of consumers.
However, this trial method requires the support of many people and resources to achieve. This trial method can be promoted in the online literature industry first, and then popularized throughout the industry. The end result is that the state, the owners of intellectual property rights, and the consumers all benefit, and the only thing that loses is the piracy industry.
Now it's just imagining, Chang Zheng knows, why do people believe in you and support you? With just one dream blueprint, you can't get investment or support.
Sit at a No Limit Hold'em table and play with your opponent from two million blinds. Win or lose, you must have enough bankroll to be eligible to play at the table.
Otherwise, you can only go to the bottom of the overpass to fry Jinhua with Zhang San, Li Siwang and Wu, and stuff a handful of five yuan.
Chang Zheng sent the revised manuscript of "Infinite Terror" to the editor of Nangang Literature and Art Publishing House, and the editor said that the problem was not big, and if there were minor adjustments and changes, I would contact him. The physical publication of "Infinite Terror" is now complete. All he has to do is wait for the physical book to be listed and sold for money.
It took another four days for Chang Zheng to finish writing the outline of "Evil Awe-inspiring". The original work of "Evil Awe-inspiring", Chang Zheng remembers that there are more than 2.5 million words. He wrote an outline of 136,000 words, and according to this outline, the adapted version of "Evil Awe" was initially set at between 200 and 2.2 million words. It can be increased or decreased, depending on the market reaction, but it cannot exceed a maximum of three million words.
For an urban novel that does not rely on fighting monsters to upgrade, writing 2 million, hundreds of thousands of words and up to 3 million words has basically reached the top. If you write it down, you can only water the plot. Any normal plot can hardly support more than three million words, unless the author is a genius. Three million words is actually a lot of words, "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", and "The Legend of the Sky and the Dragon" add up to three million words. Only novels in which the protagonist keeps brushing copies and fighting monsters and upgrading can be written long.
Chang Zheng began to write the text, wrote it for two days, and coded more than 30,000 words.
On the morning of January 15, he copied the text and outline in a USB flash drive, packed his bags, left the room, and drove straight to the headquarters of Fenghua.com.
Chang Zheng is now a level 8 author, a newly released rookie king. He no longer has to upload chapters, wait for editors to review them, and wait for them to be signed. He came to the door of the editorial office on the third floor of the headquarters of Fenghua.com and handed over the USB flash drive to Big Eye.
The editor-in-chief and editor-in-charge are here, and the contracted editor is next door. Chang Zheng showed them the first tens of thousands of words of the manuscript and outline of "Evil Spirit", and if it was OK, he signed the contract on the spot. Secondly, you can also communicate with professional editors on the spot and listen to their opinions and suggestions.
Chang Zheng estimated that they had to review for a while, and the manuscript plus the outline was 1670,000 words, and the editors had to read it for at least an hour even if they read ten lines at a glance.
"Hey, the whole building is non-smoking, and offenders will be fined 2,000. The management of the coquettish girl is so strict! Chang Zheng complained that he had been waiting for an hour in the reception room on the third floor and was addicted to smoking.
In order to save two thousand dollars, he decided to go to the door and smoke a cigarette.
smoked two cigarettes in a row, and no one called Chang Zheng yet. It was almost noon, so he went to the car and took out his laptop and went to the café he had been frequenting lately for coffee and lunch.
After lunch, at one o'clock in the afternoon, there was still no movement. What's going on? Haven't finished reading it yet? Big Eyes, you should have a reply. Chang Zheng is not good at calling to ask, he has also worked as an editor and knows the rules.
Forget it, write a book, it's boring to wait. He opened his notebook and continued to write "The Evil Spirit", and now of course he had to save some drafts. If you have a manuscript, you can be comfortable when you open a book, and you can attack and retreat and defend. It's almost 300,000 words saved, 100 bullets, and 10 bullets can be fired for 10 days a day.
Finally, at five o'clock, Big Eyes called, and asked Chang Zheng to go to their third floor to negotiate.
