Chapter 335

"This essay reward is so generous!" seeing this essay reward, Xu yuanxuan couldn't help taking a breath.

In fact, many magazines in Fusang basically have such activities as soliciting articles every year, and some magazines have soliciting articles every day.

Of course, it doesn't mean that there is a big prize every day, but the holding time of the big prize is fully covered. After one big prize is finished, the other big prize immediately keeps up, so the big prize itself is a lot. As long as you are willing, you can find at least dozens of big prizes held by different magazines.

However, it is precisely because of the frequent solicitation of articles, the reward itself will not give too many rewards. The first prize can reward 100000 yen, which is almost the highest. In fact, the most important reward of these solicitation awards is the reward promised by the publishing house for the printing and publication of the winning works, which is the most important reward.

However, with the appearance of the great prize for articles in the electric shock library, everything became different in an instant.

The bonus for the first place is as high as 30 million yen, which is probably unique in the history of Fuso. Even the second place can have a bonus of 5 million yen. Finally, even the third prize with no limit on the number is 100000 yen, which is the same as those for the champion of essay solicitation in other magazines.

This is simply a slap in the face of those magazines. I'm afraid any novelist who sees the great prize for this essay will have an uncontrollable impulse.

"30 million yen!" Xu yuanxuan took a breath and said, "tell me quickly what the rules are this time!"

"See for yourself!" naisu mushroom gave the rule column only to Xuyuan Xuan, and it was written on it

"Great rules, this electric shock library is really conscience!" after reading the whole rules, Xu yuanxuan couldn't help praising.

"Yes! It's too conscientious. It's not like those garbage companies in Fusang!" naisu mushroom also sighed.

In fact, it is not just these two novelists. In the eyes of all novelists, the rules this time are almost conscience to the extreme.

The first is the reward. Let's not talk about it. With the reward of the utmost conscience, quanfusang is afraid that it can't find the second essay solicitation activity higher than this reward.

The most important point is that there are no restrictions on the subject matter, which is a great advantage. You know, many magazines basically solicit articles of social types, requiring novels with realistic subjects, that is, science fiction will be accepted at most.

As for the theme of different worlds, demons and crossing, it seems to Fusang literary circles that they are simply some rebellious things. They are not qualified to stand on the palace of novels. They are completely insulting literature.

So many young people who grow up, like to play games, love different worlds, and so on, some novel lovers who are incompatible with the mainstream tradition, simply do not have the opportunity to contribute and publish by themselves.

Just like Xu yuanxuan, he wrote a novel about a magical girl. As a result, he invested in more than 20 publishing houses and participated in more than a dozen essay solicitation awards. All of them were beaten back directly. Some editors also directly added the word garbage on his novel, which made Xu yuanxuan suffer from unknown blows.

Now, seeing the requirements of the essay solicitation, he took the initiative to appear different worlds and demons. Through these new themes that are not allowed by secular culture, Xu yuanxuan felt his blood surging all over. His own magic girl novel should finally have the opportunity to show his grand plan!

Finally, what most surprised everyone was that the electric shock library also creatively set up a minimum remuneration.

This is something that has never appeared before in Fusang's novel world.

You know, even if a novelist's novels are lucky to be published, according to the declining sales trend in Fusang's novel industry, 80% of the novels published basically sell less than 10000 copies, while about 50% of the novels sell less than 1000 copies, which can't even make up for the printing cost of the publishing house.

The rules of Fusang publishing house and the author's share are calculated according to the sales volume of each book. The share of each book sold to the author is about 20 yen.

Some publishers also set a sales lower limit, which is their so-called publishing cost. If the money earned after the publication of a novel is not enough to make up for the publishing cost, that penny will not be distributed to the author. After all, other publishers can't lose money to sell books.

Therefore, the vast majority of novelists have a tragic situation that they can't earn a penny until the novel is published, and all their efforts in recent years are zero.

Finally, these novelists had to accept the reality and rely on part-time work to survive. Some novelists even starved to death.

This has led more and more parents to strictly prohibit their children from writing novels when planning their children's future.

Because in the eyes of parents, in this era of TV, film and various games dominating entertainment, the novel is a sunset industry destined to lose money and earn no income.

Now that the electric shock library has been published, there is a minimum remuneration income of 2 thousand volumes. Although this income is not high, it is only 40% of the monthly income of a normal Fusang worker, but as long as you save some money, it is enough to maintain a person's food expenses for a month. Anyway, you can't die of hunger.

In the eyes of all novelists, the profile is comparable to the conscience welfare of angels. 90% of novelists saw this rule and their favor for the electric shock library increased by 100%.

Of course, there is nothing worse than the traditional publishing industry in this rule.

The most obvious thing is the copyright. Traditional publishing houses only have requirements for text copyright after they get the novel for publication. They have no requirements for other adaptation rights, film and television rights, and game adaptation rights. These are the author's own.

But the electric shock library is different. These electric shock libraries are all held in their hands at one breath. When they are divided, they only give the author 30% and take 70% by themselves. In the view of later generations, it is an outright overlord clause and the most disgusting place.

You should know that even the most infamous reading group, that is, the starting point and the boss of QQ reading, the copyright is divided into 50% and 50% with the author. As a result, the electric shock library directly costs 70%, which is a clause that is more like a landlord bully than a landlord bully.

However, all authors have automatically ignored this clause, because although there are novels adapted from TV dramas and films these days, the number is too rare, and the copyright fee itself is not too high. 99% of the bottom authors have never expected how much revenue copyright can bring.

So they naturally ignored the overlord clause on copyright, because they never thought that they would be satisfied if they could sell their copyright and get the remuneration.

So let alone 73, even if the electric shock library takes away all the copyright income, they don't have any opinions, because in the eyes of these penniless authors who don't have a best-selling novel, the copyright income doesn't exist.
