Pei Qian took a sip of tea and continued: "We only open buyout contracts for the top authors of our website. ”

"Because the terms of this buyout contract are better, it is equivalent to a benefit for the authors of this site, and we do not provide this kind of benefits until the authors of the outer station prove their strength."

"The whole book is bought out, and the number of words in the whole book is between 10 and 500,000, and it cannot exceed 500,000 words."

"The buyout price is calculated at 3 times the author's previous revenue from the old book. For example, the original author's subscription income for old books is about 1,000 words per thousand, so the buyout fee for this outright book is 3,000 words per thousand. ”

"There is no minimum daily requirement, write as much as you like, and work slowly and carefully."

"Moreover, completely original articles are not accepted, only customized essays can be written, and we provide IP for authors."

After Pei Qian finished speaking, he couldn't help but be impressed by his ingenuity.

Buyout + customization, this doesn't mean that these great god authors of the end Chinese network are exhausted and all written and scrapped?

Those who often read online articles know that buyout + customization is the easiest mode to produce garbage works.

Because if you want to create a good work, one of the first prerequisites is freedom.

Only if the online writer can freely write about the subject matter he is good at, and has a strong drive, he can write excellent works.

An author who is good at writing science fiction themes, if he has to write romance, then what he writes must be miserable.

Customized works are often works that Party A has certain commercial publicity needs, and the author's creative ideas will definitely be limited by Party A.

In order to make the work meet its own requirements, Party A will definitely put forward some suggestions for changes, or interfere with the author's outline; And the author can't completely follow his own ideas to create, and he will also have an attitude of fooling things, and it is impossible to show 120% of the creative state.

Because the first target of the customized article is Party A rather than the reader, then it is likely not to be liked by the reader.

On the basis of the restriction of the subject matter of the custom essay, coupled with the buyout, it will hit the author's creative enthusiasm even more.

Because the buyout means that the income is guaranteed by drought and flood, and the price of the buyout of the custom article is very high, the author only needs to use his brain a little to write the work to about 60 points to complete the requirements of Party A, and there is no need to work hard to write to 80 or even 100 points.

Or even if he wants to write to 100 points, he can't do it at all because of the lack of creative freedom and the fact that he is not good at the subject matter.

Therefore, Pei Qian released this killer feature of customization + buyout, just to "buy through" all the head authors of the end Chinese network.

For these head authors, whether it is to write a subscription or buy out, in the final analysis, it is all about making money, how to choose, or which one makes more money.

It's easier to write a custom buyout, the manuscript fee by the number of words is almost doubled, and you can get as much money as before by writing casually every day, so why not?

If the previous manuscript fee was 1,000 words per 1,000 words, you can earn 300,000 yuan by writing 300,000 words every month; According to the buyout, the manuscript fee is directly tripled, and you can earn the same amount of money by writing 100,000 words every month.

But the workload is much reduced!

Although this buyout system is voluntary and not mandatory, Pei Qian thinks that no one should be able to refuse such a superior condition, right?

Who is going to have trouble with money?

In this way, the author's income will not be affected, but the website will lose money, and Pei Qian's goal will be achieved.

Ma Yiqun obviously knew this truth very well, so his expression was a little shocked, and he didn't know what kind of medicine Mr. Pei could sell in the gourd.

Although it is the author's discretion to decide whether to write a buyout, at the current price, I am afraid that only a few of these top authors will refuse.

Good for the author, of course, but for the website...... It seems that there is a great risk, and one carelessness can cause great losses.

Ma thought for a moment and asked, "Mr. Pei, are there any other restrictions on this buyout system?" What if no one reads what the author writes? Can you ask him to finish the book ahead of schedule, or force him to revise it? ”

Pei Qian shook his head: "There are no other restrictions, but there are requirements for the number of words, that is, each book must write 10~500,000 words, and if it exceeds 500,000 words, no money will be given, and another book must be opened." ”

The main reason for the word count requirement is to create difficulties for these writers who are used to writing long stories.

At present, the standard word count on the Internet is 200~3 million words, and no matter how long it is, there are many people who write 5 million or even more.

Therefore, when the authors first set the synopsis of the story and made the outline, they were used to setting the full text to more than 2 million words.

At this time, let them forcibly compress the story to 10 to 500,000 words and write short stories, which is a way of creation that they are not very good at.

For readers on the Internet, most people also like to read long works, and are not interested in short stories.

In this way, the possibility of making money is further reduced.

Ma Yiqun asked again: "Then if the author even opened a few books and wrote rubbish, we can also terminate the buyout contract, right?" ”

Pei Qian originally wanted to say that he couldn't, but he felt that it didn't make sense, an author has been producing garbage, but the website has been buying out his extremely high manuscript fee, which is a bit too unreasonable to say.

So, he thought about it for a while and adopted a relatively compromise plan: "If the results of two buyout books in a row are very poor, let him go back and write the shares, and after the shares are written, he can continue to write the buyout." ”

In this way, authors who want to mess around can continue to write about buying out and cheating money after writing a book, and the rules of the website will not write "come and cheat me out of money" and "people are stupid and have a lot of money" on their faces.

Ma Yiqun asked again: "I only write custom articles, what kind of custom articles are there?" ”

"Can I go and pick up the customized text from an outside company?"

Pei Qian immediately shook his head: "Can't!" We can only write about the IP that Tengda has itself. ”

Horses: "......"

If you can pick up the customized text of an outside company, then this kind of buyout may still be profitable.

For example, some popular online games need to be promoted, then Ma Qun can recommend his excellent authors to the past, let the company pay for it, and then let the author write a buyout, so that the end Chinese network can also earn an advertising fee from the middle.

But Mr. Pei denied this possibility of making money on the spot!

According to Mr. Pei, the subject matter restrictions of this customized article are strange enough.

Neither pure originality, nor can it be customized by external companies, only Tengda's IP can be written.

What are Tengda's IPs?

Ma Yiqun briefly took stock, including various games that Tengda has developed so far, such as "Turning Back to the Shore", "Sea Fortress", "Struggle" and so on;

Including the short videos and movies that Feihuang Studio has already shot, such as "Beautiful Tomorrow" and "Mission and Choice" that is being filmed;

Including a variety of bought IP images in GOG, as well as original hero characters such as Modeste and Ruan;

Including various superhero characters from the Hurricane Comics works that were bought;

In addition, some of the popularity on the end Chinese network, as well as other miscellaneous things, are also Tengda's IP.

It does seem like a lot, but what's the point of writing custom these things?

The only role may be to enrich the story reserve of the entire "Tengda Universe", but many of these IPs do not need to be enriched at all: the content of the original work has been expressed very clearly and thoroughly, why do you need to continue the mink?

Can these authors write stories that are comparable to the originals? Ma Qunqun doesn't think so at all, because many of the original works are personally handled by Mr. Pei, and these authors can't catch up.

What's more, compared to the money spent on buying out these works, it is still a loss.

Because this buyout strategy is not only for one author, but for all the top authors of the end Chinese network. If these authors are determined to fool and cheat money, it will be a big deal for the end Chinese network to spend a lot of money to buy garbage, and it is difficult to ensure the interests of the website.

Ma thought about it for a long time, but he was still full of confusion about Mr. Pei's decision this time.

But seeing Mr. Pei's confident expression, Ma Yiqun didn't say much.

After all, Mr. Pei's actions are always so unpredictable, and no matter how outrageous and strange the decision made by Mr. Pei at the beginning, it was proved to have other meanings in the end and was a great success.

Therefore, Ma Yiqun nodded: "Okay, Mr. Pei, I'll arrange it soon." ”

Pei Qian was very satisfied with his attitude: "Well, it's good. ”

"Also, there's one more thing, about the author's class."

"This class has been running for a while, and it's time to make some improvements."

"My idea is to build another 'inspiration class' on the basis of this workshop."

"Gather those top authors, especially those who have decided to write custom buyout articles, and participate in this inspiration class."

"In the inspiration class, we prepare a large number of movies and games for them, let them collect materials from them every day, and then exchange writing skills and knowledge, and recommend games or movies that they think are fun or good movies to each other."

"This inspiration class must have some upfront investment. For example, the display must be large, the headphones must be good, the seats must be comfortable, and we can directly buy genuine, ultra-high-definition Blu-ray discs for all kinds of resources inside, so as to provide you with the best viewing experience. ”

"In the previous class, the authors could only code words and look up information, and could not do anything else; In this inspiration class, the authors can only do things related to collecting inspiration, and they can only spend a maximum of 2 hours in the inspiration class for 8 hours a day to code words. ”

Ma Yi was stunned again: "Huh? This ......"

What kind of inspiration class is this, it's obviously an enjoyment class and a fishing class!

One of the most important reasons for the success of the previous workshop is that through the "little black house", these authors with poor self-control ability can concentrate on their creation in this environment, and many excellent works are born.

But now, everyone can watch movies if they want to watch movies, and play games when they want to play games, not only have they not been locked up in a small black room, but in turn they have limited their time to code words, up to 2 hours a day?

Isn't that tantamount to encouraging them to touch the fish?

What's more, Mr. Pei also said that this inspiration class is mainly for those authors who have decided to write custom buyout articles, and the update requirements of these people are already very low, and the enthusiasm for creation is estimated to be not very high, so arrange such a comfortable and enjoyable environment for them......

I'm afraid this group of people is going to be scrapped!

If they Chinese are abolished, it will not only affect the income of the website, but also the number of excellent works on the website and the evaluation of the website by readers......

Ma Yiqun hesitated for a moment and said, "Mr. Pei, is this environment too relaxed?" ”

Pei Qian smiled: "It's to be loose!" ”

"For these top authors, they have no shortage of skills and strength, and if they want to go further, they need more inspiration, slow down, and work slowly!"

"Nowadays, many words are millions of words at every turn, and there are thousands or more than 10,000 updates every day, how can this be possible to write a masterpiece in the face of such huge update pressure?"

"Let them slow down and polish well!"

The group opened their mouths to say something more, but in the end they couldn't say it.

Obviously, Mr. Pei's idea seems a little unrealistic. This is the Internet, which is meant to be used for recreation, so what about slowing down and polishing well? Can you still polish a famous book?

But Mr. Pei's idea cannot be said to be wrong, it can only be said that Mr. Pei has a higher number of layers and a more ambitious goal than himself.

Ma Yiqun hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded: "Okay, Mr. Pei, I'll arrange it!" ”
