Lele: Brother, will your parents dislike me...?
Big Mimi: Little brother Yi Yang, don't run away...?
Liu Tianxian: Why didn't I make a move at the beginning...?
Yi Yang: I...
After more than two hours, Yi Yang had almost figured it out.
The contracts for the three platforms are basically the same.
When it's time to sign the contract, you'll have two options to choose from.
Firstly, you retain the copyright, but you need to license it to a platform for promotion and negotiate the terms. The platform decides who gets the license and the price. Revenue is split 50/50.
Secondly, copyright can be retained without authorization. The platform will still promote the product, but with minimal effort. If someone is interested, they should negotiate the deal themselves, with the platform providing assistance. The revenue split is 7:3, with the platform taking 30%.
For most people, the first contract would be the one that completely hands over the responsibility to the platform.
After all, who knows if the book will become a hit?
Moreover, these platforms are basically developed by their own entertainment companies.
We can definitely play the price game.
But for Yi Yang, not choosing the second option would be foolish.
Since they're all pretty much the same, Yi Yang doesn't need to worry about it anymore.
As long as the copyright still belongs to you, it's fine.
Giving up some profits in the early stages is fine. As long as we build up our reputation, that's enough.
After making up his mind, Yi Yang directly opened the Tencent Penguin platform, registered a writer account, and used the pen name "Tonight, I'll Fight the Tiger".
The reason for choosing the Penguin platform is twofold. Firstly, it's a powerful platform, and Fetion, which is used by people all over the country, is a sibling of Penguin.
Another reason is that its icon is quite familiar, resembling the one on Earth.
After choosing the type, setting the cover and the description, I uploaded everything I had written last night.
Just as I was thinking about whether I should write a few more chapters, my phone suddenly rang. It was a landline number.
"Hello...who is this?"
"Hello, is this Mr. Yi Yang? This is the scenic area. Your submitted second line has passed the initial review. I'm calling you today to confirm whether you actually wrote the second line."
"Yes, I'm pretty sure it was my own creation."
"Okay, please keep your phone accessible and wait for further instructions."
The call was disconnected as soon as I finished speaking.
This left Yi Yang somewhat confused. Was it even created by him? Could it be someone else?
They even have the nerve to talk about preliminary review. If this doesn't pass, I'll chop my head off and let you kick it around like a ball.
After giving it a good rant, I ignored it.
Since I had nothing else to do, I simply pulled out my writing software and started writing a few chapters to save.
After all, it was just posted, so signing a contract or something certainly won't happen so quickly.
Chapter Two: Jade Wall Shines Brightly Under the Moon (Part One)
After all this commotion, the moon was now high in the sky. Duan Yu headed west.
Although he did not know martial arts, he was young and strong, and his feet were very swift.
...............
Last night, due to my lack of experience, I ended up making a huge mess.
Now, we simply arrange it in advance when the code is being written.
Just as I was coding with great enthusiasm, my older sister came home.
Seeing that Yi Yang was completely focused and oblivious, Yi Qin suddenly felt playful and decided to scare him.
He secretly came up behind Yi Yang, driven by curiosity, and glanced at the screen.
"Huh...it's a novel."
At this moment, Yi Yang was writing about Duan Yu, one of the main characters, who accidentally fell off a cliff and entered the Jade Cave, where he saw the statue of the Fairy Sister.
Quoting Zhuangzi's "Free and Easy Wandering": "On Mount Miaoguye, there dwells a divine being, whose skin is like ice and snow, whose grace is like that of a maiden, who does not eat grains, but drinks the wind and dew."
As soon as the sentence was written, a "Good!" came from behind.
The sudden sound startled Yi Yang so much that he jumped three feet high, almost scared the soul out of him.
Turning around, I realized it was my own older sister, Yi Qin.
He swallowed back the words that were about to be said.
He just looked at her with a very resentful gaze. What else could he do? He couldn't beat her in a fight.
Even if I could win a fight, my parents wouldn't let me off the hook.
"Keep writing..."
Yi Qin, engrossed in the story, was unwilling to give up. She ignored Yi Yang's glare and urged him to continue writing.
At this point, Yi Yang had no mind to write anymore.
The fact that I wasn't scared to death on the spot is probably because God saw that it would be inappropriate for me to leave so soon after arriving, so He showed me special mercy.
But it's absolutely impossible to just act like nothing happened and keep writing.
Not to mention, it would be even more impossible for him to write it for Yi Qin to see.
No one can help, not even Jesus. That's what I, Yi Yang, am saying.
"Are you asking for trouble again?"
Seeing that Yi Yang was ignoring his words and remained motionless, he immediately issued a warning and switched to combat mode.
Looking at his older sister, who stood with her hands on her hips, attempting to use her bloodline to suppress him, Yi Yang decided to fight to the bitter end this time.
No matter who comes, it won't make a difference.
That's too much! People are trying to scare each other to death.
"You scared me! My mind is completely blank right now, how am I supposed to write this?"
But what's with this tone? It sounds like she's showing weakness.
Could this be the legendary last stand?
"Wow...I didn't know that! You little rascal, you've got this talent too, you can even write novels."
Yi Qin's tone carried a hint of sarcasm.
Yi Yang decided not to respond and instead chose to remain silent.
"Alright...you can keep writing! I'm leaving..."
Perhaps realizing she had gone a bit too far, Yi Qin said something and then walked away gracefully.
He waved his sleeve, with a hint of arrogance in his expression.
