Chapter 1583 Author and Platform

Xue Ling asked in confusion and worriedly: "Three, what's wrong? Suddenly he was so arrogant?"

Cheng Huan Chong was so angry that his face turned slightly red and he said loudly: "The editor suddenly told me that after signing the sales meeting tomorrow, he had to have an extra interactive meeting with his fans, and he also said that he would shoot my big poster to promote, film videos and live broadcasts. What does the publisher hope that I can cooperate with the promotion, because I have a good appearance and can attract more fans from it."

"This... is not good." Xue Ling stopped: "Don't make real-life photos, and don't mess with big posters."

Try not to be too arrogant, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable.

Xiao Xin’s incident not long ago scared everyone to the point where they still feel scared. We must not do the second time.

Cheng Huanchong explained excitedly: "When I first signed the contract, I said that I would only cooperate with part of the publicity, and it is impossible to do every step as they said. Now, let me explain to me what there are other publicity terms that I must abide by! Isn't this to cheat me? It's a signing party tomorrow, and now I'm here to tell me that I will have a fan meeting in the afternoon! This is obviously a matter of driving the ducks to put them on the shelves!"

"Don't be angry, don't be excited." Xue Ling said calmly: "If you have something to say, you can find a way to solve it. Being angry cannot solve the problem. It will only increase your anger and make you lose your calmness, and it is even more impossible to come up with a good solution."

After all, Cheng Huanchong is young and young, so how can he calm down?

"What other manuscript fee do they want to threaten me?! I just said that the more fans, the more people will buy my works and subscribe to my works, and the more manuscript fees will be! This is a nasty threat! Why? If there is no such a little manuscript fee, I will starve to death?! Any house in my name will be smashed out, and I can't afford it for more than ten years!"

"Shhh!" Xue Ling comforted: "Don't yell, calm down."

Cheng Huanchong held her hand and said aggrievedly: "Mom, this circle is really getting more and more annoying! Yes, there are many people who like comics, and millions of people who like my works insist on being my fans. I signed a contract with them, and it said it was 50% or 50 points, but the company made money at all! How much income is, how much, what is the specific income of many channels, and how much data is, and I dare not disclose it! The company does give me a platform and traffic publicity, but this is their must, otherwise what should I do for my works? The authors are obviously the foundation of a platform, but they think we are the weakest, the lowest, the most bully!"

"Okay, OK." Xue Ling comforted: "Don't be excited, just say it slowly."

Cheng Huanchong was extremely aggrieved and angry: "My works were not blown by the strong wind. No matter how hard I study, how much homework and test papers, I have to use my sleeping time to tinker with one or two chapters every day! Five or six years of study and persistence are not a few months, nor four or five days! The author worked so hard that the money given to the platform by fans, but the platform never discloses the specific income data, how much publicity fees are deducted, and how much we are assigned to - nothing! I will only give me a tax-deducted royalty! If there is no trick, what dare they dare to make it public?!"

"They are obviously making money by our authors, but they can only squeeze them out and change the contract if they want to change the contract. They all have the faces of capitalists, and they have the attitude of being arrogant and having the attitude of not coming to my platform anyway. Without our publicity, you will be nothing! The author circle is full of resentment, complaining about the world all day, and life is not good! It's too frustrating!"

"We have to pay for the first time when learning to draw. Paint brushes, paper and paint, etc., each one costs money, and it is more expensive every year. In order to think about the plot and draw more vivid and vivid pictures, the author is really comparable to the so-called "exhausted effort" and there is no exaggeration at all! We all stay up late to draw and use the time we can play to draw. Some people even give up studying and reading, just to stick to the dream of comics - but we are extremely wronged! We are so squeezed by the platform that we cannot move, and we are all urged to withdraw all kinds of manuscript fees, and we must cooperate with everything you do!"

"I just want to draw comics well and share my works with my fans! They have been doing it again and again, asking me to shoot self-recommended videos, find friends to attract traffic, and ask peer authors to recommend each other, and make all kinds of tricks! I just want to create well and don't want to do some garbage things that have nothing to do with creation! I am selling my works, not selling ||body, don't do this!"

Xue Ling patted his shoulder and frowned and said, "Okay, okay, don't yell. When you get excited and angry, you ignore the logical reasons and ignore the past and the future. You say whatever you think of. Your mother is almost dizzy."

"Mom~~" Cheng Huanchong hugged her arm in a coquettish manner and said, "Your lawyer He quickly help me! I want to terminate the contract with them! I dare to threaten me with my royalties. Am I the kind of person who accepts threats?! Who from our Xinyuan is someone who needs to bow down for five dou of rice? No one is it, and it cannot be!"

Xue Ling smiled slightly and calmly said: "Don't be excited, I'll analyze it with you first. First of all, your creation is not really for money, you are for your own interests and hobbies and your fans, right?"

"Yes." Cheng Huanchong nodded.

Xue Ling continued to ask: "Then the signing will be your fans tomorrow, right? Most of them should be? Including some curious people who want to see you beautiful faces in the prosperous times?"

Cheng Huanchong was slightly embarrassed and stammered: "Most of them are my real fans, and most of them are old readers. I have never made my photos public, and even the videos were deliberately blurred. The so-called beauty in the prosperous era is just the platform itself promoting it."

"But most of them are your fans, right?" Xue Ling asked again.

Cheng Huanchong answered seriously: "Yes."

Xue Ling said warmly: "Since that's the case, tomorrow's event cannot disappoint your fans first. You go there as soon as you should. You are introducing your new works to fans, not to please fans. As for fan interactions or live broadcasts, you don't have to go there. Just sell books and don't want any other messy ones."

"What should I do about the contract?" Cheng Huanchong muttered to his worries: "I don't want to continue working with them."

Xue Ling thought for a while and asked: "Can you still have so many fans who like it without the promotion of the platform? The essence of each platform is the same, and there is only one purpose - to make money. Of course, some people make money too much and their methods are disgusting, which is a different matter."

"If there is no publicity, there is definitely not." Cheng Huanchong said in a muffled voice: "During the rising period, publicity channels are still very important. However, my current fan base is very stable, and I really like my works and fans."
