A night of drunkenness.

The next morning, I called the Beijing Morning Post.

Soon, a female journalist came to me.

I explained to her in detail.

Early the next morning, on October 17, 2004, the Beijing Morning Post published a press release entitled "New Publication Signed by Others."

I sat on the roof of the building and looked at this news report proudly—

The work I created was published, but it was signed by an unfamiliar name. For this reason, Pang Yonghua is preparing to file a lawsuit for the two newly published books "Love Mouse Enlightenment" and "Marriage Mouse Enlightenment".

Author: Preparing to sue to the court

When the reporter met Pang Yonghua, he showed the two books "Love Mouse Enlightenment" and "Marriage Mouse Enlightenment", each of which was printed on the cover of the publishing unit of China Three Gorges Publishing House, written by Aya, and the copyright page was printed with the first printing in June 2004, a total of 6,000 copies.

During the interview, Pang Yonghua was very excited, and told reporters several times: "I have spent a lot of thought on these two books, which are to use mice as a medium to express the 'diversity, complexity, and competitiveness' of modern people's love life, and to use mice as a metaphor to explore the philosophy, life, and applicability of love." But the publication of these two books was not authorized by me and was not signed by my name, and I am ready to sue in court. ”

Pang Yonghua told reporters that he was introduced to freelance writer Yang Moumou by a friend, "Last year, I gave Yang Moumou the manuscripts of these two books, and three months later, he said that the city publishing house that originally commissioned the manuscript did not use the manuscript. For this, Yang Moumou compensated me with 2,000 yuan. ”

This year, Pang Yonghua saw on the Internet that "Love Mouse Enlightenment" and "Marriage Mouse Enlightenment" had been published, and the author's name was not signed by himself, so he found Yang Moumou. "Yang Moumou admitted that the failure to sign my name on the letter was a work error, so he signed a supplementary agreement with me."

Pang Yonghua found the publishing house again, "But so far, they have not gone through the formalities with me to publish the book, so it is illegal to publish the book." ”

Publisher: It's not illegal to sign a contract

Zhu Weiping, editor of the China Three Gorges Publishing House, said in an interview with reporters: "At that time, Yang Moumou found the publishing house with the manuscript, and thought that the manuscript belonged to him, and we signed a publishing contract with Yang Moumou according to normal procedures. The two books are related to love, and in order to sell the books well, we felt that the author wanted to give a feminine name, so we used Aya. We told Yang about the situation. ”

According to reports, in the publishing industry, some authors' manuscripts are bought out by planners, and when they are published by publishing houses, in order to make the book easy to sell, it is usually possible not to sign the author's name (use other names).

Invited Author: The name of the author will be signed by the printing committee

Yang Moumou claimed that he had made a contract with Pang Yonghua, and he signed an agreement with Pang Yonghua, stipulating that if the two books could not be sold, he would give Pang Yonghua 2,000 yuan in risk money, and if the two books were sold, he would give Pang Yonghua a manuscript fee. But in the end, it was not published.

After that, Yang Moumou showed the manuscript to the editor of the China Three Gorges Publishing House, "They said that the book could be published." ”

"Later, when I saw the sample book from the publisher, I found that the book was out but not signed with the author's name. Editor Zhu Weiping said that there is no way to change the book. On May 28 this year, Pang Yonghua and I signed a supplementary agreement, stipulating that I would buy out the two books "Love Mouse Enlightenment" and "Marriage Mouse Enlightenment" at one time. I will urge the publisher to sign his (Pang Yonghua's) name when reprinting. ”

I put down the Beijing Morning Post in my hand.

I know it won't be long before someone will be like an ant on a hot pan.

Sure enough, before I finished smoking a cigarette, the editor in charge called me to ask me to go to the publishing house.

I rushed to the China Three Gorges Publishing House.

"We've been deceived, too," editor Zhu said to me in the office, "and it couldn't be bigger!" He is shameless, and we still have face! What publishers are most afraid of is that this kind of thing will happen! ”

"Actually, authorship is my bottom line," I said to the editor seriously, "the manuscript fee can be small, but the signature is a must!" ”

"This is understandable," said the editor, "if the manuscript is not good, the author is generally reluctant to sign it!" The fact that you can value this signature so much shows that it is also a book made with heart! ”

"Every one of my books is like a love," I said with a smile, "and I'm all put my heart and soul into it!" ”

I wish the editor a smile.

"Let's go!" Zhu editor said, "Let's go to the restaurant outside the publishing house and sit down and talk about future cooperation!" ”

I smiled and nodded.

When I arrived at the restaurant, I ordered a few dishes and asked for two bottles of beer.

We started talking while eating.

"If you have a good manuscript in the future, just contact us directly!" Zhu editor said, "We will not cooperate with him anymore, and I will urge him to have a good talk with you as soon as possible, sign a supplementary agreement, and make appropriate compensation!" If he hadn't compensated, we wouldn't have paid him royalties for these two books! ”

I laughed.

Get up and take your leave.
