The wool of dreams
People who have already semi-retired from the circle and started to renew their pensions were too lazy to mix in this matter. But after all, I have been in this industry for almost 20 years, and the majority of people in the same industry cannot drop the chain at the critical time when they pursue legitimate rights.
So pause the update until you have a preliminary result......
In fact, the starting point has nothing to do with the new team, it is the melon left by the old team, and the online literature over the years, the major platforms have competed badly, and the limit rebound caused by the infinite squeezing of writers has been vented out of the way through the possible impact on the industry through free reading.
Speaking of the standard contract of today's online literature, it is indeed strange enough-
1. Your work is not yours, not only this one is not yours, but the lower part or even the lower part, as long as the same author's name, or a work derived from the image of the same protagonist, it is not yours, and the adaptation, operation, including the continuation of the writing, has nothing to do with you.
If it's a buyout contract, it's understandable to come up and smash the author with money, it's understandable to be so harsh, but it's the same as the sharing contract, it's not a few words, and there is no return for a penny, so I sold my body, and I sold my children and grandchildren after selling it......
There is angel investment in the investment field, which is really an agreement that I have never seen an online writer.
2. Compete compared to bad.
I remember that in the earliest days, the copyright agreement was only signed for ten years, and after ten years, the two parties negotiated whether to renew the contract, and only the electronic copyright was signed, and simplified and traditional Chinese publishing was not counted; P S, although it has been signed for ten years, the contract for several books signed by the digital station has long expired, I don't know how many places have been authorized over the years, and I have received hundreds of dollars, and I wanted to negotiate the termination of the contract two or three years ago, and the contract has been signed and sent over, and I haven't seen a reply yet
I don't know when it started, but the years of copyright signing are getting longer and longer......
Ten years for you?
I've been fifteen years!
I've been keeping up for twenty years!
All my life!
I'll add another fifty years to my life......
Until now, Wu Chengen and his old man have to work for others.
Not only that, but the agreement is becoming more and more faced. Not only physical publishing, but also foreign language versions other than simplified and traditional Chinese, as well as games, film and television, and various adaptations of comics, are all packaged and counted, and the money given is still as much as before, half of the income.
Oh, now it's not half of the revenue, it's half of the net profit.
We can't say it, it's useless to say it, so we have to 666
3. What I don't want, you don't want either.
Times are constantly changing, and books written ten years ago certainly can't keep up with the current form. So the books that were more free to sign in the past are actually a bit difficult to operate now.
The classmates who studied together in the Lu Academy changed careers to do copyright operation, and wanted to sign a few of my books, in addition to the old books, naturally I also wanted to try new books, so I asked.
Outcome...... Don't ask, it's millions.
For those books that have exploded, it is normal for the copyright to sell for thousands of dollars, and those that have not exploded are nothing more than filling in the work library, isn't it money to sell tens of thousands of dollars?
You don't care about that, but the author of the bitter haha does......
No way, it's so arrogant!
So much so that now the second generation has been demolished, and I want to buy back the copyrights of some books, weigh people's bids, and then look at the demolition money...... Still forget it, I can't afford it.
It's just a casual spit, and there are still a lot of melons in the online article.
Some people may ask, why do you want to sign such a harsh contract? Silly?
There's no way, the platform is like this, don't say Ah Er. Internet writers are not Fang Fang, and they can go out of the circle abroad by writing a diary.
The idea of everyone is to sign it! What else? The so-called harsh requirements are only a matter if you are famous and become a god, otherwise people will not bother to take care of you.
It is true that although the contract is harsh, there are not many that are actually implemented.
But people always have to have a dream, what if they become famous and start a family?
And the major platforms are lying on the author like this, unscrupulously picking up the wool of dreams.
