Chapter 142: Two Calls

"Damn! Tipping items? Want to cheat us out of money again? ”

"Day! I thought that the author of "Rebirth: Dacheng Sword" bought a sword qi, what good plan can he have to develop the website! So you still want to ask us readers to charge? Thinking that changing a name will make us pay willingly? When are we all stupid? ”

"Tipping? It's a little better than a monthly fee! At least not mandatory! It's okay! ”

"Great! Although the popularity of those books was high before, I didn't like a single one, and the "Realm of Shenwu" I liked was not a signed work, this time the reward props came out, buy a few and give them to the author of "The Realm of Shenwu", I am still willing! ”

"The prop function is quite creative! However, can authors and websites really make money just by volunteering? Have sword qi to make a profit with this? Skepticism! ”

"It seems that Iwami doesn't have much money as an author! As soon as I acquired Youjian Qi, I was in a hurry to launch the reward function to make money, and I was looking forward to him, but now I don't have hope! ”

"I have known for a long time that if I can write a good novel, it doesn't mean that I can run a good novel website and give a reward? It's better to add a few advertising spaces on the website to charge advertising fees! ”

……

Similar to the above remarks, it is the reader's opinion on the upcoming tipping function of Youjian Qi.

"Can you accept a tip without signing a contract? Hehe! I don't know if I can make money for a few packs of cigarettes! ”

"I hope to earn a few hundred dollars of pocket money!"

"What? Even if the tipping function is launched, it should be limited to our contract books, right? ”

"Petty fights! Can this feature alone allow us to make money? Fool the kids! ”

"Alas! The original sword spirit has dropped in popularity because of the introduction of the charging system! And now again? Iwami? Don't you even learn the lessons of the past? Even this pig brain dares to buy a sword qi? Hehe! ”

"Tipping is about to be launched? Can all works be rewarded? Hurry up, hurry up! Let's get it out! No matter how much I can earn, it's better than not having a point at all! ”

……

Similar statements to these. It is the idea of a sword qi author.

Of course, in addition to this, there are many other evaluations from the outside world. For example, writers, readers, and non-readers in the Writer's Corner and non-Writers' Corner have mixed reviews after hearing that Youjian Qi is about to launch the reward prop function, some people disdain, some people scold, and some people express expectations.

But no matter what, Youjian Qi, who has frequently broken the news recently, has become the most popular of all fiction websites. Whether they are optimistic about it or not, at least many people remember the name of sword qi.

Speech on the Internet. The opinions of the classmates, in the next three or four days, Zhao Yan saw a lot and heard a lot, as far as Zhao Yan saw and heard. Basically, they are not optimistic about the upcoming tipping function of Sword Qi. He didn't see a single person who thought that a reward function could save the sword qi.

In fact, he himself didn't think that this function would be able to turn the sword qi into a profit.

Again, he just hopes that the appearance of the reward function can create a little income and relieve his financial pressure.

No matter how small the mosquito's legs are, they are also meat!

It was Xiao Mengyue's words of encouragement that warmed his heart.

On the night when the sword qi announced that the reward function was about to be launched, Xiao Mengyue was on the video. Said to him: "Zhao Yan! It's easy to want no one to scold you, you just don't do anything! I want everyone to praise you. That's impossible! No matter what you do, there will definitely be people who say good and people who don't! So, don't care too much about what others say, as long as you know you're doing the right thing! I'm sticking with you! ”

……

The prop reward function has not yet been officially launched, and Zhao Yan has received calls from Xiang Bin twice. Xiang Bin is one of the receiving editors of Kyushu Reading-Pluto's story, and Zhao Yan's "Rebirth: Dacheng Sword" was signed by him.

The first call Xiang Bin made was on the morning of the third day when Youjian Qi announced that the reward function was about to be launched, when Zhao Yan was in class, he felt the mobile phone in his trouser pocket vibrate, took it out and saw that it was him, quietly refused, and then returned a message, saying that he was in class and would open him after class.

When class ended, Zhao Yan's phone was dialed back and as soon as it was connected, Xiang Bin solemnly warned him on the phone: "Ishimi! What's the matter with you? You didn't have our consent, why did you put "Rebirth Dacheng Sword" on the sword qi serialization? Do you know that this constitutes a breach of contract? According to the contract, we can ask you for liquidated damages! ”

At that time, Zhao Yan replied like this: "Where is the breach of contract?" Before I sent it to the sword qi, I re-read our contract, and what we signed on the contract was only the right to publish and distribute in Chinese! The electronic copyright on the Internet is not signed to you! ”

Originally, Zhao Yan planned to communicate with Kyushu Reading before there was a sword qi serialization, but later, as he said, after he re-read the contract with Kyushu Reading, he found that the electronic copyright of "Rebirth: Dacheng Sword" was not signed to Youjian Qi at all, so he didn't say hello there.

"Huh? Electronic copyright? What electronic copyright? Your work has been signed to us Kyushu Reading, and the distribution copyright of all texts is, of course, our Kyushu Reading! When have you ever heard of a writer who has also sold any electronic rights? If you want to serialize it on the Internet, we can completely serialize it on the official website of our Kyushu Reading! Iwami! You quibble, we can't talk about it! ”

Xiang Bin was very angry and felt that Zhao Yan was quibbling. Because in addition to the sword qi before, there has never been a website to sign a novel, and the sword qi will not be able to support the signing system soon after it is launched, so the current Daming novel industry does not have the concept of novel electronic copyright.

Don't say it's him Xiang Bin, I'm afraid that whoever hears Zhao Yan mention this electronic copyright will think that he is quibbling.

It's a pity that Daming doesn't have the concept of electronic copyright for novels, which doesn't mean that other foreign countries don't either.

Therefore, Zhao Yan replied at the time: "Hehe! Just because someone else hasn't sold the electronic copyright doesn't mean that the electronic copyright belongs to you! You can look up copyright laws online! After checking it, if you still think I'm in breach of contract. You can hold me accountable! ”

Xiang Bin's results in checking the copyright law are naturally inconclusive.

This matter was reported by him to the leaders above, and the leaders above had no choice.

Just like Zhao Yan said. No one in Daming has sold the electronic copyright of the novel before, which does not mean that the electronic copyright belongs to Kyushu Reading, and in the end, the result of communication and negotiation between the two sides is expected by Zhao Yan.

- The serialization progress of "Rebirth: Dacheng Sword" on the Youjian Novel Network can't catch up with the latest publication progress of Kyushu Reading.

To be more specific, the serialization of "Rebirth: Dacheng Sword" has sword energy, and it must be one episode slower than the publication of Kyushu Reading! Before the fourth episode is published and released, the content of the third episode cannot appear on websites with sword energy.

on this. Zhao Yan didn't fight anymore, and he himself hoped that the publishing sales of Kyushu Reading could be higher.

Xiang Bin's second call to Zhao Yan was on the afternoon of the day before the official launch of the reward function by Youjian Qi.

It was November 3rd. The day when the third episode of "The Sword of Rebirth" was officially released.

The third episode was launched to the market in the morning, and Xiang Bin's phone hit Zhao Yan's mobile phone in the afternoon, for reasons that made some people who read in Kyushu angry, and Xiang Bin did the same!

"Iwami! What are you doing? How can you advertise Youjian Qi Novel Network in the middle of the content of the third episode? And hit it seven times? Do you know that you don't have the right to advertise in the content of your work? It's all like you. Do you want the advertising department of our Kyushu Reading? In the future, those who want to advertise. Is it just a matter of contacting your authors? Are you breaking the rules, do you understand? ”

Coincidentally, when this call came, Zhao Yan was in physical education class and had free time, so when the phone rang, he sometimes listened indirectly.

Hearing Xiang Bin's angry but helpless voice on the phone, Zhao Yan grinned.

Yes! Before the delivery of the third episode, he had already bought Youjian Qi. Now that there is sword qi in hand, then. For the sake of the popularity of his website, he will naturally do everything, it just so happens that his "Rebirth of the Great Sword" is selling well recently, and the third episode of the manuscript is just in time for delivery, if Zhao Yan doesn't take the opportunity to advertise his website, then he Zhao Yan is not Zhao Yan!

With his character, it doesn't matter if he didn't think of this, once he thought of it, there was no reason not to do it.

Xiang Bin heard Zhao Yan's laughter on the phone, and he was even more angry.

Reprimanded: "Are you still laughing? Iwami! Aren't you afraid that we will deduct your manuscript fee for the month? You've gone too far this time! ”

When Zhao Yan heard this, the smile on his face faded, and said: "Sword Qi is my website, and "Rebirth Dacheng Sword" is my work!" Is it too much for me to advertise my own website in my own work? Brother Xiang! I made a lot of money reading this book for you in Kyushu, right? I haven't asked for a fee increase, and now I can't advertise my own website? Yes! You can deduct my manuscript fee! But I can tell you that "The Sword of Rebirth" will be finished today! I won't write about it later! ”

After speaking, Zhao Yan hung up the phone.

At that time, he didn't panic at all, he expected that Xiang Bin would definitely dial it back!

If his "Dacheng Sword of Rebirth" does not sell well, Zhao Yan will not have this confidence, but "Dacheng Sword of Rebirth" is now the best-selling and most popular work among all new authors and new books of Kyushu Reading, Kyushu Reading even deliberately pulled a banner advertisement for it on the homepage of the official website, such a new book that is highly praised by them, if it ends like this, Kyushu Reading has no way to explain to book fans! The loss of economy and fame will not be small.

As a result, Zhao Yan was wrong, Xiang Bin did not call him again, and it was Zhou Xiaoyun, one of the editors-in-chief of Kyushu Reading, who called him again.

On the phone, Zhou Xiaoyun laughed calmly, comforted Zhao Yan not to be angry, saying that the following editor was too impulsive, she apologized to Zhao Yan for him, and asked Zhao Yan to write a book with peace of mind, and continue to write "The Sword of Rebirth", but asked him not to advertise in the book anymore, she would instruct the advertising department to add an advertisement to his website on the cover of each subsequent episode of the book, saying that it was not good for him to advertise in the content of the work.
