After this incident, Ou Yang and Nana were in a bad mood. Liu Shishi seemed to feel that the villa was not safe and went to look for Xiao Xue and Yang Mi.
Xiao Tian finally had some peace and could write in peace.
There were already 900,000 copies of Coiling Dragon's drafts in storage, but he had yet to decide which website to publish them on.
It definitely wouldn't be published on Feng Yun novel website. The conditions were too harsh. The author could only keep 30% of the copyright. This was simply an overbearing clause.
However, Feng Yun novel website had a monopoly in the industry. One company monopolized more than 70% of the market share, and the remaining hundreds of small and medium-sized websites fought for the remaining 30%.
On the other hand, the editors of a few websites had already found out about Xiao Tian's account through some connections. They wanted to invite Xiao Tian to their websites, and the conditions they offered were very good.
He had also thought about buying a novel website. The price was not too expensive. The bigger ones were 20 to 30 million, and the smaller ones were a few million.
However, he quickly gave up on this idea. Even if he bought the website, he didn't have the time to manage it.
The so-called use of people without suspicion and doubt, that was nonsense. Loyalty was only because there were not enough chips to betray! He was only receiving your salary. Why should he treat your company as his own? Why should he do his best for you?
If it was a real company, everything could be verified, but it was not the case in the IT industry. For example, on the novel website, a certain editor saw a novel that could become extremely popular. Then, he secretly bypassed the website and obtained the copyright of the novel. Or sell the copyright of a novel worth five million yuan to a shell company at a cheap price. Even if the boss knew about these actions, he couldn't do anything to these editors. This was because the copyright of novels belonged to the virtual economy, and there was no standard to measure it. It wasn't like a bottle of Coke that cost 3 yuan and a pound of pork that cost 15 yuan. If the shop assistant sold the Coke for 1 yuan per bottle and the pork for 1 yuan per pound, the boss could call the police directly. However, if it was the copyright, the editor could say," I think the copyright of this book is only worth 10,000 yuan. I sold it for 20,000 yuan and earned 10,000 yuan for the company. You have to give me a bonus!"
Therefore, it was not reliable to be a hands-off manager. Moreover, if a novel website wanted to develop, it would require a large amount of money. If it wanted to make a profit, it would take at least three to five years!
At this moment, his QQ icon flashed. Xiao Tian recognized this icon. It was the editor of the Disillusion Alliance's novel network, First Dream. These days, she had been sending him messages whenever she was free.
Xiao Tian opened the message.
First Dream: Master Gu Yong, the higher-ups have agreed to your conditions. Have you decided on the name of your new book?
Xiao Tian replied,[The title has been confirmed. Coiling Dragon!]
First Dream: Is it still Wuxia?
Xiao Tian replied,[Western Fantasy!]
Chumeng, who was sitting in the editorial department, was silent for a long time after seeing these words.
He might be screwed by Gu Yong this time. Without Gu Yong, a pen name that already had a certain appeal, and without writing about the familiar Wuxia, could he really carve out a bloody path in Western fantasy?
After confirming that Gu Yong's new book had failed, the managing editor who had just given him a 500-yuan shopping card as a reward would not find trouble with him?
Chumeng gritted her teeth and sent the new electronic contract she had just received from the managing editor to Xiao Tian.
First Dream: " Great Gu Yong, you can do it. If your book fails, remember to go to Huangpu River to collect my corpse!"
Xiao Tian replied,"Together!"
After taking over the contract, Xiao Tian read it carefully. Other than the electronic copyright, there was no other copyright involved in the contract. 30:70, website 3, author 7. He didn't use the author's name, Gu Yong. It was already quite good that he could get such a contract.
It should be the result of the mediation of this editor called Chumeng. After thinking for a while, Xiao Tian sent a message to Chumeng: "Coiling Dragon" was bound to be popular. Just wait for a promotion and a raise, become the CEO, marry a fair, rich, and beautiful woman, and step onto the peak of life!
First dream: white, rich and beautiful?
Only then did Xiao Tian remember that in this world, there was no such thing as tall, handsome, rich, or fair. He replied," Open the three words!
After a while, First Dream replied,"I am!"
Xiao Tian pursed his lips and closed the chat box. You're more like a sissy!
This time, Xiao Tian did not upload 100,000 words like he did when he uploaded the Condor Shooting. He only uploaded 30,000 words. Then, he set a timer and uploaded 10,000 words every three chapters. He uploaded all the updates for a month.
Xiao Tian was confident in Coiling Dragon. Back then, Western fantasy had already declined, but Tomato could still use Coiling Dragon to become a god. In this world, Western fantasy was still the mainstream, while Eastern fantasy and Xianxia had just risen.
The only problem was that the Disillusion Alliance's market share was too small, and the reader base was not enough. However, it was also because of this that he was able to sign such a generous contract. If it was Feng Yun novel website, even a few top Overgods wouldn't be able to get such a contract.
It was good news that he had signed a contract with the Disillusion Alliance's novel network. However, Xiao Tian received a piece of bad news.
Liu Yan called back and told him that the copyright of Do You Remember had not been settled.
The other party had two conditions. First, they wanted the copyright of Do You Remember. Second, they wanted Liu Yan to sleep with them or change the host!
On the phone, Liu Yan blamed himself. He thought that he had attracted too many bees and butterflies, which led to the twists and turns in the matter.
Do You Remember was Blue Rain Studio's only show. As for iPartment, it had been established before the studio was established. Xiao Tian had originally wanted to put iPartment in the studio as well, but the girls did not want to take advantage of it.
Now, although Do You Remember had become popular, after returning the advance payment from Starlight TV, they had lost almost ten episodes of the program's production costs, which was close to three million.
Xiao Tian didn't say much to Liu Yan. He only told her to stop talking with Yang Ying and Tang Yan and to come back as soon as possible. If it was just the copyright, Xiao Tian did not care. The copyright of Do You Remember was not worth much, but the other party had even offered to sleep with him. What was there to talk about?
They could only fight to the death!
