If it is in the mainland, this kind of "act" is not enough to "infringe" at all.

Even if it is found to be infringement, this is at most a painless criticism, and no one will care about it.

The reason for this is actually very simple, mainly because of the imperfection of the law and the weak awareness of people's rights protection.

But if it is put in Xiangjiang and other places, it is completely different, and this kind of behavior will definitely be judged as infringement.

But the problem is that He Yun did not publish this book in Xiangjiang, which is a bit difficult to grasp.

Besides, just one article is nothing at all, after all, Mr. Jin Yong has not expressed his position, and it is even more impossible for others to make a positive judgment.

In fact, everyone doesn't know that at this moment, Mr. Jin Yong has already come to Boyi Publishing House, and in the editor-in-chief's office, he met Zhao Shanqi.

At this time, Mr. Jin Yong was already a leading figure in the Xiangjiang literary circle, not to mention Zhao Shanqi, even if Ni Kuang himself came, he would be polite to Mr. Jin Yong.

Zhao Shanqi is naturally no exception.

No, as soon as he saw Mr. Jin Yong coming to the door, he immediately welcomed him to the office very politely, made him a cup of good Longjing tea before the rain and handed it over, and then said: "Mr. Jin Yong, what kind of wind blew you here today?" ”

"Editor-in-Chief Zhao, don't you know what I mean?" Jin Yong suddenly smiled slightly, and immediately looked at Zhao Shanqi and asked rhetorically.

"Uh......, Mr. Jin Yong, I don't understand what you mean." Zhao Shanqi was stunned for a moment, but replied with a smile.

"Okay, since Editor-in-Chief Zhao doesn't want to admit it, let's talk about this author, to be honest, I've read this one several times, and it's really well written, and I've also asked someone to inquire, this author is very young, it seems that he is less than twenty-three years old."

"Of course, that's not the main thing, I've heard that this author used to be a soldier, and he wrote five or six novels and several short stories in just three years, so it seems that this author is indeed a very talented young man."

"Lao Cha, what you said is too right, I think so too, but you are not angry at all when he plagiarized the setting of your work?"

However, at this moment, a man pushed the door and walked in.

It's a chubby middle-aged man.

The person who came was none other than Ni "Big Guy" in the science fiction industry.

He and Zhao Shanqi knew each other, and the relationship between the two was okay.

"Why should I be angry? Besides, is it useful for me to be angry? Jin Yong replied, and then said.

"What's more, I've already looked for that book, and although it is similar to the setting of my work, it also writes its own characteristics. And the style of writing is completely different from this author, and the writing is relatively immature, not at all like this writer, the writing is old and spicy, and the imagination is rich, and the knowledge level is also very broad, so I think these two authors are just pen name coincidences, not the same person. ”

Well, there is really nothing wrong with what Jin Yong said.

It is indeed a bit arbitrary to judge that two authors are the same person just because they have the same pen name and are both mainland writers.

"That's true, but Lao Cha, this also can't rule out the possibility that the two are the same person!" Big Ni frowned and said again.

"Ahem...... Mr. Ni, Mr. Jin Yong, I think that this may also be deliberately made by some people who don't like the brilliance of our Boyi Publishing House. ”

"As for the issue of the same pen name, I have the same opinion as Mr. Jin Yong, which should be just a coincidence."

"Coincidence? Is this really just a coincidence? Big Ni still didn't seem to want to believe it.

Although Ni didn't want to believe it, as the heat of this topic continued to heat up, the sales of "Wild Shenhailu" did not fall but rose, and even another science fiction work with He Yun "Moon Rescue" also increased a lot of sales.

When many people from the publishing house saw this strange situation, they didn't understand that this was the ghost of Boyi Publishing House itself.

In fact, if this matter has nothing to do with Zhao Shanqi, it must be wrong.

But if you insist on saying that it has a relationship, it doesn't really matter much, it's just a "hype" directed and acted by Boyi Publishing House.

Its purpose is naturally to strike while the iron is hot and push the sales of "Savage Shenhailu" to a new high.

And the result is just as Zhao Shanqi, the editor-in-chief, expected, this "hype" made the sales of "Wild Shenhailu" directly climb to 160,000 copies.

This sales volume is very good for a newcomer's new work.

What's more, this sales volume is still climbing day by day, and it will definitely be higher in the future.

Sure enough, at the end of April, the sales of this book exceeded 180,000 copies, and it is on its way to 200,000 copies.

…………

At the same time, He Yun, who was far away in the provincial capital of Hunan Normal University, naturally didn't know this.

At this moment, he was looking at the letter in his hand.

These letters were sent by various publishing houses in Xiangjiang, and the cooperation conditions proposed were also quite good, especially the royalties, which made He Yun a little moved.

However, He Yun finally held back.

There will definitely be many opportunities for cooperation in the future, and he doesn't want to change jobs halfway, at least he will make a judgment after reading the next cooperation conditions of Boyi Publishing House.

That's right, when he received a letter from other publishing houses in Hong Kong, he also received a letter from Boyi Publishing House.

In this letter, the conditions and obligations of the cooperation between the two parties are once again clarified, such as royalties, such as new works and so on.

Among them, the royalty article, Boyi Publishing House proposed to add two percentage points on the basis of the original 6 percent, reaching 8 percent.

This is just a new work of the letter.,It's already a relatively high royalty.。

In addition, for He Yun's "Archaeology" notebook series of short stories, Boyi Publishing House is also quite interested in this, and the cooperation conditions they proposed are to buy out the traditional Chinese copyright at one time, and the copyright fee is 100,000 Hong Kong dollars, that is, more than 80,000 famous coins.

There are more than 80,000 famous coins, and the copyright fee is already very high.

After thinking about it for a while, He Yun felt that he could reach a cooperation agreement with them.

However, this collaboration will be limited to the first three installments of the Archaeological Notes series.

There is no way to do this, after all, it is not certain whether he will continue to create this "IP" in the future.

Even if he will continue to create the "Archaeological Notes" series in the future, if he really sells the follow-up copyright to their publishing house, he will definitely suffer a big loss.

What's more, the one with the highest price will get it, maybe the first three parts of the "Archaeological Notes" series will be a hit in Xiangjiang, and it is not certain that other Xiangjiang publishing houses will propose higher copyright fees.
