What should I do if the system forces me to copy books?

The dinner arranged by Longteng Chinese.com for these authors is a buffet.

Such a large annual meeting is willing to be held, compared to the cost of booking the entire Hilton Hotel's cafeteria in advance, it is just a drop in the bucket.How can the dishes from the chefs of five-star hotels be so bad, and the dishes are almost from the southeast and northwest of the country, whether it is the pasta in the north or the claypot rice in the south, as long as you want to eat, you can eat them all. Find it here.

Different from the internal communication meeting of the authors at noon, only the authors participated. In addition to the obviously more authors in the evening buffet, Li Chungang finally saw Yaoyang's figure, and he could see a little tiredness from that face It seems that he rushed to Shanghai in a hurry after dealing with urgent matters, and he probably didn't even catch a bite of the meal, but luckily he arrived before dinner.

In addition, there are obviously a lot of unfamiliar faces. Depending on the situation, many familiar authors naturally meet these unfamiliar faces for Li Chungang, but they quickly realized from their conversations that these People are the editors of the major classified channels of Longteng Chinese Network.

Li Chungang can also be regarded as a frequent visitor to Longteng headquarters. He has been there several times as a guest, but either directly to the editor-in-chief's office of Brilliance, or to the floor of the suspense category editorial team where Natou and the others are. I haven't seen each other.

Speaking of Cao Cao, Cao Cao will arrive.

Here, Li Chungang was still wondering why he didn't see Natto. The next second, Natto came in from the outside. Apart from herself, there were two editors and sisters. The three of them stood shoulder to shoulder and held each other. The hands are whispering and walking inside.

Of the remaining so-called Longteng Chinese Network management and staff from other departments, Li Chungang, who attended the annual meeting for the first time, could not recognize any of them.

Anyway, it's just a buffet, and there's nothing important to say, and the appearance of Longteng's top executives is just a usual tactic of condolences, and it's just to contact the editors and those great writers who have signed contracts with them emotion.Feelings are invisible and intangible. If you don't take them out to maintain them from time to time, the feelings will naturally fade over time.

The real highlight was the night of the Longteng Annual Meeting!

Li Chungang was about to walk over to Natto to say hello, when he caught a glimpse of a middle-aged man wearing rimless glasses walking towards him out of the corner of his eye, he took back the steps he was about to take in an instant.

This may be an inevitable trend. With heavy studies, the popularity of mobile phones and computers has led to increased radiation. Therefore, the number of people wearing glasses in China is increasing every year but the age is getting younger. Mobile phones, tablets, and computers are used as necessary tools for work. Most of the online writers in China wear glasses.

On the contrary, those who don’t wear glasses like Li Chungang are as rare as giant pandas in the author group, and female writers who pay attention to image and love beauty wear contact lenses. If you are not afraid of the risks brought by wearing contact lenses, Then this might be a good solution.

"Editor?" Li Chungang looked at the person in a little surprise.

In the afternoon, he had already met most of the authors who were invited and barely knew him, but the person in front of him could easily tell that he did not belong to the ranks of authors just by looking at his clothes. The most important evidence was that The clothes on this person, generally speaking, the authors of online articles are casual in their clothes. In fact, if it is not necessary, they can wear as comfortable as they want, and they will be done!

"Boss Chungang, I have admired my name for a long time, it is really better to see once than to hear a hundred times!"

The person who came was quite familiar, and when he came up, he stretched out his hand with a smile, his expression was very calm, and there was no artificial suspicion.

Out of politeness, Li Chungang also showed a smile and stretched out his hand to give the other party a light shake: "I'm honored, but it's just a false name. Haven't asked Gao's name yet?"

Chapter 194 Cooperation Invitation

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I was a little excited to see the Great God himself, and I forgot to introduce myself. I am Qingyun, the leader of the fantasy editorial team. I started following you when you were writing "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", and then I saw you I was very happy when I wrote the second book of fantasy category "Fighting Knife in the Snow."

"Editor Qingyun, I've seen your name on the editor list in the author's backstage. Seeing is worth seeing once. If I remember correctly, you were the editor of Yaoyang Zhigao when he first joined Longteng Chinese Website to publish books. I just don’t know what the big brother Qingyun, who has the eyes and knowledge of pearls, wants to ask me for?”

As the saying goes: If you have nothing to do, go to the Three Treasures Hall!

From Li Chungang's point of view, Qingyun, the leader of the fantasy editorial team, came straight towards him, knowing 100% with his ass that he had something to talk to him about, and besides, he didn't like complimenting each other and wasting half a day of probing each other. time.With his current achievements in the online literature circle, he has the confidence to speak like this.

Even as Li Chungang himself said, the editor Qingyun in front of him is not an unknown person!It’s like Natto saw Li Chungang’s debut novel "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" at a glance from a large number of new books in the warehouse, and submitted the contract immediately; Yaoyang, who published the book, used the only resources at hand to recommend him step by step after signing the contract.

After that, it will be the "Road to the Rise of the Supreme God" that everyone in the Internet circles loves to talk about.

"Actually, I'm going to be a lobbyist this time. I don't know if you have heard that Yaoyang founded a company?" Qingyun said bluntly to Li Chungang.

Li Chungang nodded to indicate that he had heard something.

At present, there are still a few people in the whole circle who know that Yaoyang has set up a company by himself, and those who know are basically the kind that Yaoyang trusts and will tell. Most of the authors and readers recognize Yaoyang. Knowing that he still stays with the other party has a personal studio dedicated to his full service, never expecting that this studio has quietly become a company.

It is said that it is a company, but it is actually an upgraded version of a personal studio!

This company is responsible for the operation of Yaoyang's own IP brand, including the publication of various physical books, film and television adaptations, game adaptations, etc... Several of his masterpieces are examples of successful operation.

In fact, it’s not just that Yaoyang has the idea of ​​establishing its own company and reaching a strategic partnership with Longteng Chinese.com, instead of signing various contracts that seem fair, but in fact they still can’t get rid of the title of high-level wage earners. Most of them are getting better and better. The better, the great writers who want to go further and no longer be subject to the website have this idea in their hearts.

It's just that the idea is still at the stage of just an idea, and it is not easy for them to take substantial actions.

Now they just need to simply sit in front of the computer and type code words every day, and the update is considered to be a day’s work. Once this step is officially taken, after starting their own company, the things that need to be considered are no longer multiplied. Instead, it jumped straight to the sky!

Yaoyang was able to take this step because of his own strength, which gave him enough confidence. Many contract conditions could be negotiated with Long Teng.In order to retain these great god-level authors, Longteng is even willing to let go of copyrights such as physical book publishing copyrights, film and television adaptation copyrights, and game adaptation copyrights, and only retain the most basic electronic copyrights.

This is a very real problem.

If the great author can't keep it, how can we talk about the so-called copyright?What's more, the copyright is something that doesn't belong to them, so why force it?If you are forced to stay and cannot stay, once you are poached by a competitor's creative text, how much website traffic will be lost is an incalculable statistic.

In fact, when Qingyun said the name "Yaoyang", Li Chungang realized who the other party was lobbying for. The point of confusion was that he should not talk to himself directly because of the relationship between him and Yaoyang. Or is it that Yaoyang is too embarrassed to speak out in person because of the relationship between the two, so he asks the former editor Qingyun to be the lobbyist.

Or go deeper...

Whether Qingyun and Yaoyang have reached some ulterior agreement, or even directly pried the corner of Longteng's side, and directly pulled Qingyun into the newly established company is not completely impossible.As soon as this thought came up, it gave Li Chungang a strong feeling that it should be so.

"Maybe I guessed right!"

But even if the guess is correct, Li Chungang didn't want to expose the other party's statement on the spot. First, he couldn't produce any evidence. Could it be done with just a word of mouth? It's a matter of position.

For Longteng Chinese.com, Li Chungang is more willing to regard it as a partner, rather than a superior, leader, boss, etc. who work for it to make money. Since everyone is in an equal and friendly relationship, the relationship with Yaoyang is also a friend relationship. , then he has no reason to get involved in the affairs between the two sides, right?

"There is no one else here. Editor Qingyun, if you have something to say, you can just say it!"

"Are you interested in coming over and working with us?"

Sure enough!

Qingyun's words just confirmed the speculation in Li Chungang's heart. If Qingyun and Yaoyang are not in a cooperative relationship, how could it be so natural to blurt out the word "we", you must know that we include Yaoyang is included, so the other party's so-called lobbyist status will no longer be pure.

Li Chungang pretended not to understand the meaning of the other party and said in confusion: "I don't quite understand what Qingyun editor you mean."

On the contrary, Qingyun went further and said: "We sincerely want to invite you to cooperate together, including what we have learned about your personal studio Wensiquanyong studio can be merged into our company and continue to serve you exclusively. And As long as you can join us, we will give you 36% of the company's shares, second only to Shining Sun, the first shareholder.

We can operate the IPs produced by your excellent authors, and you can also participate in copyright operations, such as adapting film and television dramas into TV dramas and movies, etc. We know that the current popular drama "Ghost Blowing Lantern I" The script of "Exquisite Ancient City" was written by you.

In addition, there are audio copyrights, publishing overseas, adapting them into games, etc... As long as it is a profitable project that can be derived from this IP, we can complete it ourselves, and if we can't, we can also invest in it.Our team is very convinced of the IP quality produced by the works of Yaoyang and Chungang! "

It has to be said that Qingyun's eloquence is quite familiar with being sent by Yaoyang as a lobbyist.

In just a few minutes, a grand blueprint was unfolded in front of Li Chungang's eyes. As the other party said, Yaoyang plus Zhichun Zhigang, the old top supreme god plus the newly promoted strongest spicy chicken The combination, together with the assets currently owned by the two, is not impossible to achieve self-production and self-sale.

For a moment, Li Chungang realized that he was indeed shaken by the other party's words!

Chapter 195 You Take It!

"Sorry, I can't agree to cooperate with you."

It is undeniable that Li Chungang was moved by the attractive conditions proposed by the other party, but it was just a little bit of a little serf who turned over and sang, but thinking about it deeper, after careful consideration, his final answer was to choose to refuse to agree with him. Yaoyang supreme cooperation opportunity.

"If you don't mind, can you tell me the reason why you refused, Mr. Chungang?" After being rejected, the smile on Qingyun's face seemed a little stiff. Refused, you must know that the cooperation between the two can be called a strong alliance, who would put the immediate interests aside?

This is what Qingyun didn't understand at all!

Being unable to be a partner does not mean that everyone will become an enemy, but they can continue to be friends.

Therefore, Li Chungang did not mind revealing his true thoughts to Qingyun at all: "As editor Qingyun said, the cooperation terms you proposed are indeed a win-win situation. But..."

But as soon as the two words come out, it means a turning point, and at the same time, it also means that the real drama is coming!

"But you can give me the conditions. I believe that as long as I am willing to negotiate, apart from the shares, Longteng can give me other conditions! And the most important point, I think you guys are a little bit wrong, the really good top Even if IP is not deliberately operated, there will still be people with insight and knowledge flocking to it, right?"

Qingyun looked at Li Chungang with a serious expression. He didn't expect that the young man in front of him, who was only 21 years old, could completely digest the sugar coating outside the shell in such a short period of time, and he could see the problem through the outside at a glance. essence.As Li Chungang said, the reason why they approached Li Chungang was that they really saw the huge potential in the IP operation of the other party's works, and that they could greatly increase the influence of their company.

The old bring the new, and the strong help the weak, no matter what industry or industry you are in, this phenomenon will happen.

Yaoyang and Qingyun's positioning for the establishment of the company is indeed to operate IP. Assuming that they only operate the IP brought by the works of Yaoyang himself and Li Chungang, how many words can they code in a year with just two people and four hands?Therefore, in their company's development plan, the focus is to first use their fame and excellent IP to increase the company's influence, and then continue to sign more middle-level outstanding authors...

Driving from top to bottom.

It's like slowly developing an unknown start-up company into a brand company with great reputation!

"Is there any popular IP recently that is worth adapting to a TV series, or even put it on the big screen?"

"You can go to Yaoyang Culture and ask!"

If this step can be achieved, no matter whether they are inside or outside the circle, when they want to publish works or adapt online works, they can think of their company's name, which represents their success!It's just that this is not an easy thing to achieve for a newly established company.

Qingyun let out a long breath: "Understood. Even if the cooperation fails now, as long as you are willing in the future, the door of our Yaoyang culture will always be open to you!"

In the world of adults, interests come first!

There are no eternal friends, no eternal enemies, only eternal interests!

It’s just that Yaoyang and Qingyun have not discovered a very real problem, that is, in recent years, readers have jumped out from time to time to criticize Yaoyang’s works for becoming more and more commercialized and routine, although whether it is in terms of writing or plot, The portrayal of various characters and delicate emotions are still fascinating, but it is undeniable that...

The works began to flow into commercial routines, no longer trying new routines and new ideas, let alone trying to create various types of works like those back then.

Many readers say that the current Zhichun Zhigang is like Yaoyang who debuted at the beginning of the year, with first-class writing and brilliant ideas. Every book has the courage to try a new genre to bring readers a different reading experience and surprise.Just like the thrilling, suspenseful "Ghost Blowing the Lantern"; like "Swords in the Snow" with a completely different flavor of the world; like "Medical Skills" which is not gorgeous but touching...

What each book brings to readers is a brand new world created by the author!

After Qingyun left, Li Chungang began to look again at the almost full buffet restaurant. It was obvious that the number of Longteng's editorial team and staff was about ten times larger than the number of authors present. It is normal, if there are not so many editors, the things brought about by dealing with over one million authors every day will be too busy.

However, he was a little surprised that the entire editorial team looked quite young.

This may be a characteristic of web articles. Older people may not be so easy to understand what are the so-called refreshing points and selling points in web articles. Besides, being younger can also make the entire editorial team more vigorous and energetic. , which is also a good aspect.

thump——

The sound of the plate colliding with the dining table suddenly rang in his ears, interrupting Li Chungang who was distracted from his thoughts, and turned his head to look...

An acquaintance, Brilliance, editor-in-chief of Longteng.

"What are you thinking, so fascinated?"

"It's nothing, I just came up with inspiration, thinking about some plots in the book." Li Chungang casually found an excuse to prevaricate, could he tell the truth to Brilliance that he was thinking about the matter that someone invited him to abandon Long Teng and do it alone? It's not stupid, and it's not that the brain is weak. Regardless of whether the other party believes this vulgar excuse or not, I still quickly changed the subject and said:

"Professional!"

Brilliance no doubt gave him a thumbs up, and said half-jokingly: "It is often rumored in the circle that your main body is a tentacle monster, and you can write [-] words a day, and you can still maintain such a high quality. Now it seems that I I found the reason, even when I was eating, I could get inspiration anytime and anywhere, can I really say that the tentacles are really weird!"

"..."

"What the hell is the tentacle monster? It's spreading rumors randomly. Be careful, my lawyer's letter has warned you."

Seeing that the joke was almost over, Brilliance glanced at the left and right sides with a natural expression, and found that there was no one else besides the two of them. He moved closer to Li Chungang's position and said in a low voice, "Actually, I'm looking for you this time. There's something I want to tell you."

"What's the matter?" Li Chungang blurted out, also using a very small voice, and at the same time beating drums in his heart, he didn't know what the business was that deserved to make Longteng's chief leader, Brilliance, look like a spy.

Brilliance's expression at this time was the kind of solemnity that Li Chungang had never seen before. He pressed Li Chungang's left hand on the table and said in a deep voice, "Are you willing to be the new pillar of Long Teng!?"

Σ (Д;)

"So he already knew!"

Chapter 196 The God of Creation

Everything in the world is relative. You say that a rock is hard compared to an egg, which is correct, but what about the hardest diamond?
