"This essay award is so generous!" Seeing this essay reward, Xuyuan Xuan couldn't help but gasp.

In fact, many magazines in Fuso basically have such activities as essay awards every year, and some magazines even have essay awards every day.

Of course, it's not that there is an essay award every day, but the time of the essay award is completely covered, and after one essay award is over, another essay award will immediately follow, so the essay award itself is a lot, as long as you want, you can find at least dozens of essay awards held by different magazines at the same time.

But it is precisely because of the frequency of the essay awards, so the awards themselves will not give too many rewards, the first place can be rewarded with 100,000 yen is almost the sky, the most important reward of these essay awards, in fact, is the publisher guarantees to the award-winning works for printing and publishing rewards, this is the most important reward.

But with the advent of this essay prize of Dengeki Bunko, everything changed in an instant.

The prize money for the first place is as high as 30 million yen, which is probably unique in the entire history of Fuso, and even the second place can have a prize of 5 million yen, and in the end, even the third prize with no limit is 100,000 yen, which is the same as the prize money for the winner of the essay award of other magazines.

This is simply a slap in the face of those magazines, and anyone who sees this essay award will probably have an irrepressible impulse.

"30 million yen!" Xuyuan Xuan gasped, and then said, "Hurry up and tell me what the rules are this time!" ”

"See for yourself!" Nasu Mushroom only gave the rules column to Xuan Xuyuan, only to see that it was written

"What a good rule, this denki library is too conscientious!" After reading the entire rules, Xuyuan Xuan couldn't help but praise.

"Yes! It's just too conscientious, it's not like those garbage companies in our Fuso! Nasu Mushroom also sighed.

In fact, it's not just these two families, in the eyes of all families, the rules of this time are simply conscience to the extreme.

The first is the reward, not to mention this, the reward with the extreme conscience, I'm afraid that Fusang can't find the second essay activity with a higher reward than this.

And the most important point, there is no restriction on the subject matter at all, which is a great advantage, you know, many magazines now want to basically be social types, and the requirements are realistic themes, at most, they will accept science fiction.

As for the theme of the other world, demons, and traversal, in the eyes of the Fusang literary world, it is simply something that is rebellious, and it is not qualified to stand on the palace at all, and it is completely an insult to the word literature.

Therefore, many young people who have grown up, like to play games, have hobbies in other worlds, and other enthusiasts who are incompatible with the mainstream tradition, do not have the opportunity to submit their own articles for publication.

It's like Xuyuan Xuan, he wrote a story about magical girls, and as a result, he voted for more than 20 publishing houses and participated in more than a dozen essay awards, all of which were directly sent back, and some editors also directly added the word garbage to him, which made Xuyuan Xuan suffer an unknown number of blows.

Now that I see the requirements for the essay, I actually took the initiative to appear in a different world, demons, and through these new themes that are not tolerated by secular culture, Xuyuan Xuan feels that the blood all over his body is stirring, and his own magical girl should finally have a chance to show his ambitions!

Finally, and the most unexpectedly, the Dengeki Library also pioneered the establishment of a guaranteed manuscript remuneration.

This is something that has never appeared before in the realm of Fuso.

You know, even if a family is lucky enough to publish, but judging from the current declining sales trend in the Fuso industry, 80% of the published ones sell less than 10,000 copies, and about 50% of the sales are below 1,000 copies, and even the printing cost of the publishing house cannot make up for it.

On the other hand, the rules for the sharing between Fuso Publishing House and the author are calculated according to the sales volume of each copy, and the share given to the author for each copy sold is about 20 yen.

Some publishing houses also set a sales floor, which is their so-called publishing cost, if the money earned after a publication is not enough to make up for the publishing cost, then not a penny will be distributed to the author, after all, it is impossible for other publishing houses to lose money to sell books.

Therefore, most families have the kind of miserable situation that they finally survived to publish, but they couldn't make a penny, and all their hard work for several years was zero.

In the end, these families had to accept the reality and rely on odd jobs to survive, and some even starved to death.

As a result, more and more parents are strictly forbidding their children to write when planning their children's futures.

Because in the eyes of parents, in this era of TV movies and various games dominating entertainment, this is a sunset industry that is destined to lose money and make no profits.

Now this electric shock library, actually launched the publication, there is a guaranteed remuneration income of 20,000 volumes, although this income is not high, only 40% of the monthly income of a normal Fuso worker, but as long as this money is saved, it is enough to maintain a person's food expenses for a month, anyway, if you don't starve to death.

In the eyes of all families, the introduction is a conscience benefit comparable to that of an angel, so that 90% of families see this rule, and their favorability towards the electric shock library has increased by 100%.

Of course, this rule is not without its inferiority to the traditional publishing world.

The most obvious is the copyright, the traditional publishing house, after they get it for publication, they only have requirements for text copyright, other adaptation rights, film and television rights, and game adaptation rights, etc., they don't have any requirements, these are the author's own.

But the electric shock library is different.,These electric shock libraries are all held in their hands in one breath.,When it's divided, it's only 30% for the author.,Take 7% for yourself.,This in the eyes of later generations,It's a complete overlord clause.,The most disgusting place.。

You must know that even the most cheating China Literature Group, that is, the boss of the starting point and QQ reading, the copyright is divided into fifty or five with the author, and the result is that the electric shock library directly asks for 7 percent, which is simply a clause that is more landlord bullies than landlord bullies.

But all authors automatically ignore this clause, because in these years, although there are TV series and movies adapted, the number is too rare, and the copyright fee itself is not too high, 99% of the underlying authors have never expected how huge the copyright can bring.

Therefore, they naturally ignore the overlord clause on copyright, because they never thought that their copyright could be sold, and they would be satisfied if they could get paid.

So don't say it's 73 points, even if the denki library takes away all the copyright income, they don't have any opinion, because in the eyes of these penniless and unpopular authors, copyright income does not exist.
