◎Contract◎

"Impossible, how could the things you wrote be adopted by the newspaper? I don't believe it." At night, when Yu Gesang was lying on the bed and was about to fall asleep, Yu Xingtian made a sound suddenly, which was very scary.

"Yeah Gesang, how did you write it, tell me." Yu Taozhi then made a sound and turned over, so it turned out that he was not asleep either.

Yu Gesang felt sleepy, and didn't really want to answer this question repeatedly. In the morning, when Mr. Zhou came home to talk about it, Yu Xingtian questioned it. He also asked questions during lunch break, and kept asking questions when he came home from school at night. It was hard.After the meeting, she was about to fall asleep, and she came to ask again, and it was not too annoying for the whole day.

Simply turn over and reply, "Believe it or not" and continue to sleep.

Yu Xingtian was choked up by her attitude, subconsciously got up and pushed Yu Gesang, "I haven't said anything yet... bang!"

"What are you doing!"

Yu Xingtian covered her hand being slapped, and wanted to get angry, but Yu Gesang got angry before her, "If you don't sleep, get out!"

You are used to it!

Probably because Yu Gesang's tone was really fierce at this time, or maybe it was because her outburst was unexpected, Yu Xingtian was really stunned for a while, and when she came back to her senses and wanted to be fierce again, Yu Gesang lay down and fell asleep againDown, and another push seems excessive.

There was also Yu Taozhi making muddy at the side, and Yu Xingtian could only mutter, "What's the big deal? I've become angry before I publish it, and I may not be able to publish it yet" before going back to sleep.

The night finally calmed down, and Yu Gesang fell asleep peacefully, regardless of whether someone tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep.

Anyway, the result will come out sooner or later, so why waste so much talk?

In fact, she found that she had slightly underestimated the impact of Mr. Zhou's words, because in the next few days, not only Yu Xingtian and Yu Taozhi couldn't sit still, but the head of the family, Yu Youwen, didn't get any better.Yu Gesang stopped asking for warmth, and tried to ask Yu Gesang to rewrite the text she wrote silently for him to read.

Not to mention whether you can write it verbatim, even if you can, Yu Gesang can’t do it. For a person who is used to typing on a computer, handwriting is really tiring, especially since she is still a student and has notes and documents every day.Operation.

So Yu Gesang made excuses to fool the past, not to mention that it took at most ten and a half months, as long as the manuscripts were not submitted across provinces in this era, the results would come out very quickly.

Unless she's in a monthly magazine.

Although in Yu Gesang's view, the themes of novels in this era are not rich enough, due to the background of the world, the competition in the literary world is still very fierce. For example, the monthly magazine published by Sanhua Newspaper once a month, newcomers basically have no chance to publish articles, and can be published in the monthly magazine.Almost all of them are well-known authors.

And as far as she knew, the monthly short stories of Sanhua Newspaper were very few, and they had to be authored by great writers or high-quality short stories to be published, and the rest of the pages were full of long serialized articles.

Although Yu Gesang is confident in her own novels, she doesn't think she is so lucky to be picked up together—as for Mr. Zhou's cousin?In this era, new editors basically have no decision-making power in monthly magazines.

To sum up, Yu Gesang felt that he should be in the daily or weekly newspaper.

But didn't expect that her luck was quite good, and she missed a half-monthly magazine.

The so-called semi-monthly magazine is published every 15 days. Although the status of the semi-monthly magazine is not as good as the monthly magazine, it is better than the weekly newspaper and daily newspaper. In particular, what she missed was the more famous semi-monthly magazine of the Sanhua Newspaper-"Mandarin Duck".

This semi-monthly magazine focuses on romance novels. Although it is not as obvious as the female market as in the later generations, it still has that outline, and the readers are younger.

She was able to join because one of the authors who had originally agreed to open the skylight, and Yu Gesang's manuscript happened to appear in an emergency, so she made a decision and filled the vacancy.

"Thanks to my ingenuity, otherwise I wouldn't have had this opportunity!" Xu Wanyan, Mr. Zhou's editor cousin, came to Qingzhu Town again six days later, and came to Yu Gesang with a sample of this month's "Mandarin Duck".There is also a signing and contract and the manuscript fee for this time.

However, except for Jiang Daya, everyone in the family was attracted by the "Mandarin Duck" sample magazine at the first sight, especially when they saw the novel signed by "Yu Gesang", everyone was very excited.There were outsiders present, so Yu Youwen would probably rush over to have a look regardless of face.

But the look of being strong and calm but eager was not much better. Yu Gesang was amused, and picked up the spread sample magazine and handed it to Yu Youwen, "Father, can you take a look?"

Yu Youwen immediately showed a smiling face, "Okay. Let me help you take a look."

Yu Gesang did not expose his impatience, and continued to communicate with Xu Wanyan.

She really had to accept Xu Wanyan's love to be able to be published in the first half of the month.

The semi-monthly magazine is a magazine, which is convenient for collection, while the daily and weekly newspapers have at most two eight-page pages. The size seems small, and the manuscript fee is not comparable.

You know, the first manuscript fee for a newcomer can affect the subsequent manuscript fee level for at least half a year, unless the level of the novel really improves a lot in a short period of time, let the editor see your potential, in order to win you over, give it as appropriateimprove.

If a newcomer with no historical achievements submits his first manuscript to a semi-monthly magazine, which is a relatively popular bimonthly magazine, even if the feedback for this novel is not particularly enthusiastic, the editor will notice you, and your next submission will not be blindly selected, but a dedicated editor is in charge.

Of course, in Sanhua Publishing House, Yu Gesang basically has a dedicated editor, and that is Xu Wanyan in front of him.

She made a special trip here and brought a contract, so her sincerity could be seen.

Contracts also exist in this era, but they are called "deeds" and are legally binding. They are usually signed in triplicate, one for Party A and one for Party B, and one for the Yamen.

For example, the book club and the author sign a contract in triplicate, but the author keeps one copy, and the book club keeps two copies. If there is a dispute, the official should be dealt with, and the extra copy kept by the book club will be handed over. Otherwise, there is no need to hand it over to the yamenfor the record.

However, the contract signed between the book club and the author is divided into book signing and signing. The book signing is mainly for medium and long novels, and there are relatively few short stories, because once a short story is published in a book club, it is often the default exclusive agency copyright for 3 years, within 3 years.A novel can only be published in the bookstore, and the author has no right to re-submit, but the copyright belongs to the author, and the bookstore does not have the right to authorize the novel to a fan or change the authorship, even if it is within the exclusive copyright period.The compensation amount is quite high.

When signing contracts for novels and novels, the signing is also to represent the copyright, not to sell the copyright.

This country pays more attention to the protection of the rights of authors. The copyright owner can only be the author. Even if the contract is signed, the bookstore only has the exclusive agency right for a certain period of time (the longest exclusive agency right for medium and long-length works is 15 years.The contract does not count), after the deadline, the author can make a second submission by himself.

In addition, if the author does not want to sign the exclusive agency right, he can also sign the general authorization, so that he can "submit more than one manuscript". Of course, this premise is that you are a great author, otherwise the general publishing house will not accept the published manuscript, even if you accept it,The remuneration is not much.

Yu Gesang's first article was just a short story, so the contract brought by Xu Wanyan couldn't be a book signing, it was a signing.

The so-called signer is a bit similar to the signer of Yu Gesang's previous life website, that is, once signed, it cannot be published on other websites.It is also divided into that the pen name cannot be published by other bookstores within the contract period & natural persons cannot publish on other websites within the contract period.Even if you change your pseudonym, you cannot publish it in other bookstores. Once you publish it and it is discovered, it will be a breach of contract.

The contract brought by Xu Wanyan was signed by a person, not a pseudonym, and the time limit was two years.

Within two years, Yu Gesang can only publish fiction articles in Sanhua Publishing House. At the same time, when she publishes more than 15 articles in the daily newspaper or more than 5 articles in the weekly newspaper, Sanhua Publishing House promises to provide a half-monthly long-form serialization opportunity within the time limit (even if the long-formIt’s okay if it doesn’t reach the normal level of draft submission, but if the response to the serialization is not good, it will be cut off).

If Yu Gesang is really just a new writer with no experience, he should be ecstatic to get this contract.

Biological, she is not.

"Editor Xu, thank you for your kindness, but I don't need it for now."

As soon as Yu Gesang refused, Xu Wanyan's smile froze, as if she did not expect her to refuse. In all fairness, this contract is really fair, and the remuneration is higher than that of ordinary new writers. If there is a novel published within the deadlineThe agency copyright is only 5 years, which is not too long.

Often a newcomer author has to pass the manuscript three or four times before he can get the contract.

And Yu Gesang only had one manuscript that had been drafted and had not yet been officially published. She was able to get this contract because she argued that Yu Gesang had great potential.

In fact, if she hadn't insisted, the editor-in-chief wouldn't have given the contract even though he knew Yu Gesang's age.

After all, there are not many capable authors in Qingzhu Town, and there are too few cases of golden phoenix flying out of the mountain nest, especially at such a young age, it may not be possible to really go on.

Xu Wanyan persuaded Yu Gesang, and Yu Youwen also felt that the daughter should sign, but Yu Gesang was very persistent, and he didn't want to force him.

In case the girl feels pressured, it will be bad.

Moreover, he was also worried that Yu Gesang would only perform supernormally for a while, and then he would not be able to write out the contract after signing it, and would be distracted from his studies.

So Yu Youwen didn't help to persuade her, but instead politely refused for Yu Gesang, "The child is still young, let her think about it."

Xu Wanyan had no choice.

"This is my home address and phone number. If you change your mind, call me at any time, but I can keep this contract for you for a month. Think again."

It can be seen that Xu Wanyan is really optimistic about Yu Gesang.

Yu Gesang was quite grateful for her kindness, and said that even though he hadn't signed the contract, he would submit the manuscript to her first—she hadn't forgotten the idea of developing elsewhere in the short term.

After sending off Editor Xu, the house suddenly became lively, Yu Youwen kept boasting about Yu Gesang with the monthly magazine, Yu Taozhi and the others just tiptoed to read the magazine first, even Yu Xingtian couldn't care less about jealousy.

And Jiang Daya, who had sharp eyes and quick hands, quickly picked up the envelope containing the remuneration, and exclaimed, "So much money!"

The author has something to say:

——I didn’t work overtime today, and finally wrote a chapter, which happened to be 520. wish you all sweetness!
