Wang Zhe did not expect that he received a call from Dongyue Novel Weekly the next day after submitting the article.

"Is it Mr. Wang Zhe?"

"Yes, I am Wang Zhe."

On the phone, Zhu Haibo, editor of Dongyue Magazine who is specifically responsible for the new signing editorial group, said to Wang Zhe: "Mr. Wang Zhe, your novel manuscript, The Legend of the Condor Heroes, has been reviewed by our editorial department and has met the signing standards."

Wang Zhexindao is indeed a novel by Master Jin. He signed the contract so soon, and then he would have money: "Okay, what do I need to do?"

Zhu Haibo continued: "We will send you an electronic contract to your email address later. If Mr. Wang Zhe has no objection to the contract, you can sign and send it here. Remember to attach a copy of your ID card. After we receive the contract review, we will send you a copy."

Wang Zhe agreed, "Okay, I'll take a look."

After saying that, he hung up the phone.

Wang Zhe entered the email address and saw that there was indeed an electronic contract I had just sent. After clicking it, he only looked at the most important ones and shook his head.

"The full copyright is required to buy out for 20 years. The royalty fee is indeed higher than the standard of other newcomers. It reaches 1,000 words and 50. After entering the magazine, the royalty standard can be improved depending on the situation. But is the promised Dongyue novel contract the most relaxed? What about the promised copyright? "

Wang Zhe had no choice but to call the phone.

"Mr. Wang Zhe, are you dissatisfied with the contract?"

Zhu Haibo asked calmly on the phone.

He has become accustomed to it. Many newcomers expressed dissatisfaction with the contract, but in the end they had to surrender under the overbearing terms of the contract. After all, newcomers have no bargaining capital, and the platform is absolutely strong.

Wang Zhe said directly: "I request that all copyrights be retained, and only authorize your magazine serialization rights!"

The signing editor Zhu Haibo smiled and said, "Mr. Wang Zhe, you may not know much about the situation. This contract is a standard contract for all newcomers. Mr. Wang, you have no other works before. You are a pure newcomer, so you can only be such a standard contract. We treat all newcomers equally."

Wang Zhe frowned and asked, "There is no room for negotiation?"

"Yes, there is no room for negotiation. This is the industry rule. Not only our magazines, but all other magazines are the same. Our Dongyue Novel Weekly is the fifth-ranked famous novel weekly in China. It is a good choice for newcomers. If Mr. Wang, your first novel has achieved good results and the next novel, you can negotiate the copyright ownership of the contract."

Zhu Haibo said in an unopposed tone.

Newcomers who have no achievements want to bargain?

I'm afraid I'm living in a dream.

Every newcomer dreams that his works will become popular, dream of selling all kinds of copyrights, becoming a god, earning tens of millions of dollars a year, reaching the peak of his life.

Therefore, there are generally two types of people who show extreme confidence. One is a famous master who has become a famous person who has the confidence to bargain with the platform because of his past achievements; the other is a real newcomer who is confused because of his ignorance and confidence, so he will bargain with extreme confidence from the bottom of his heart.

However, it turns out that so far, the serialized novel weekly has a history of more than 50 years. No one has ever been able to become a god with one novel. At least one is needed to accumulate it before the second one can become a god.

"Then no, thank you."

Wang Zhe hung up the phone directly, his face a little bad.

In the signing editorial team of Dongyue Magazine, Zhu Haibo put down the phone and said to himself disdainfully: "Another newcomer, if you don't sign, don't sign it, next!"

At this time, Qin Shuming, editor-in-chief of the Wuxia Martial Arts Editorial Department of Novel Weekly, walked in and asked: "Who is responsible for contacting the signing of the author of The Legend of the Condor Heroes?"

Zhu Haibo stood up and said, "Editor Qin, it's me. I just contacted Wang Zhe, the author of The Legend of the Condor Heroes."

Qin Shuming asked: "Has the contract been settled? I want to publish this book in a magazine as soon as possible, so I have to settle the contract as soon as possible."

Zhu Haibo replied helplessly: "Editor Qin, the author of this book rejected the newcomer's standard contract. He wanted to retain all copyrights and only authorize us to serialize the magazine, so this contract cannot be signed."

All the editors of the entire signing group looked up at Zhu Haibo. After listening to Zhu Haibo's words, they looked a little curious and funny. They didn't think Zhu Haibo was funny, but they thought the newcomer was funny.

Newcomers are always ignorant, and they basically meet several editors who sign contracts every day.

Qin Shuming was also stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that the other party was so heartless and asked to retain all copyrights, but the other party was just a newcomer.

"Then you talk to him. We only need the novel serialization rights and the comic adaptation rights. Other copyrights can be retained by him, but we need to give priority to signing the contract."

Qin Shuming thought for a while and said to Zhu Haibo.

Zhu Haibo and the others were stunned for a moment. They didn't expect Qin Shuming to give in, which shows that Qin Shuming was extremely optimistic about this novel.

However, Zhu Haibo remembered the other party's firm and confident tone when he contacted Wang Zhe just now, and he was a little disgusted and did not want to continue to contact this newcomer, so he said: "Editor Qin, I have said this to him just now. I said that copyright can be negotiated. We require the right to adapt comics. After all, we have comic magazines ourselves, so it is necessary to retain the right to adapt comics. However, he still refused. He insisted on retaining all other copyrights except the serialization rights of the novel."

Qin Shuming widened his eyes, looked at Zhu Haibo, and frowned and said, "He really said that?"

Zhu Haibo handed the contact information to Qin Shuming and said, "Editor Qin, if you don't believe it, please contact and ask yourself. He is too confident in himself, but he is just a newcomer. This kind of contract cannot be passed. If the superiors know, we must be responsible."

The bottom line of Dongyue Magazine's contract is to retain the right to adapt comics, but this is the past, so the contract of Dongyue Magazine was very loose in the past.

Two days ago, after Dongyue Magazine was acquired by Jinhuang Entertainment, the contract changed. Jinhuang Entertainment acquired the magazine in order to obtain a content production base, so naturally, they had to obtain as much film and television adaptation rights as possible. Therefore, all newcomer-style contracts require full copyright and store the copyright background for Jinhuang Entertainment.

What Qin Shuming just said just now is a contract that only has the right to adapt the comics and other copyrights, as long as the contract is given priority, can almost be enjoyed by famous masters.

It can be seen that Qin Shuming was extremely optimistic about the Legend of the Condor Heroes, and did not hesitate to use the power of his editor to give a newcomer a great god-level contract treatment.

However, Qin Shuming did not contact the author of the Legend of Heroes. He believed Zhu Haibo's words. Since the other party was so firm and confident, he would not say it.

Full copyright is impossible. It is a treatment that only a true top god can enjoy. It is impossible for him to make an exception to give a newcomer such a contract. Even if he is optimistic about this novel, it is impossible. This is the rule.

The top ten magazines are all developed together with novels and comic magazines, so each magazine signing author, even ordinary masters, must reserve the right to adapt comics for themselves, but will give the corresponding comic adaptation fee.

"Then forget it."

Qin Shuming thought quickly, gave up, waved to Zhu Haibo, turned around and left the signing editorial team.

Although he is optimistic and likes this Legend of the Condor Heroes, he cannot agree to a newcomer's full copyright contract when the magazine was just acquired and the whole copyright was reshuffled. He will definitely be more accountable, so he can only give up.

Other large magazines will not agree to such a contract. They will only agree to a full copyright contract unless they are small magazines with very shortage of quality manuscripts.

In that case, Qin Shuming felt that this novel would be buried, the sales volume of small magazines per issue was less than one million, and the promotional channels were very weak, so it would not be popular.

Zhu Haibo breathed a sigh of relief and sat down to continue contacting other new authors to sign the contract.

Wang Zhe completely gave up Dongyue Novel Weekly and looked at the magazines that ranked lower.

He also knew that finding magazines with higher rankings will definitely be equally strict or more harsh for newcomers. If you want to find a loose contract that retains copyright, you can only find a magazine with lower rankings.
