Chapter 234 0234, Copyright Issues (2)

The drizzle was like thousands of filaments, rippling in the air, and the mist enveloped the entire Magic City Conservatory of Music.

noon.

Yunfeng and Tang Yu held an umbrella and hurried to the school cafeteria.

I finished my meal and sat down.

Tang Yu said casually: "My editor just sent a WeChat message asking me to customize a fan novel."

Hearing this, Yun Feng smiled and said, "What a coincidence, so do I."

Tang Yu asked: "Did you agree?"

"No." Yun Feng shook his head and immediately asked, "What about you?"

Tang Yu also shook his head.

Yun Feng said hurriedly: "Feng Yun Novel is not in a hurry, there is no need to do this..."

Tang Yu interrupted: "No, I refused because I really didn't want to write."

Seeing that she was extremely serious, Yunfeng knew that she was telling the truth and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

If it is to break away from the one-year priority in the exclusive author contract and help him write a novel, instead of accepting a high-cost customized novel, then it is not worth it.

This is indeed Tang Yu's truth.

The guarantee given by Panda Chinese is very tempting. If she makes a living by writing online novels, she will accept this customized fan novel no matter what.

But the fact is that for her, writing online novels is not even a part-time job, it is just a hobby.

Besides, she really doesn't have the strength, energy, or time.

but……

This topic was not over yet. Tang Yu asked very curiously: "Tell me, why did Panda Chinese Network suddenly ask us to customize fan fiction? This type of novel has always been unpopular. Is there a market for it?"

Yunfeng thought for a while and said: "There must be a market, and it is very big. As for why Panda Chinese Network suddenly asked us to customize fan fiction..."

Speaking of this, he seemed to be deep in thought.

Recalling the online novel websites on earth in the past life, such as feilu, ciweimao, huanleshuke, etc., they mainly promoted fan fiction.

Tang Yu saw that he was in a daze, so he stretched out his hand and waved it in front of his eyes, saying: "Don't think about it. Eat quickly. It will cool down in a while."

In November in the Magic City, the temperature is not high, and it rains today.

Yunfeng came back to his senses, smiled slightly, and said while eating: "I see, there must be a website that promotes fan fiction. Seeing that the situation is not right, Panda Chinese Network plans to support its own fan fiction category."

A trace of doubt flashed in Tang Yu's eyes, and he couldn't help but ask: "What is the point of fan fiction? Do you have a sense of immersion?"

Yunfeng smiled and said: "They read fan fiction because they want to see what changes the new protagonist added to the original work can make."

After a pause, he organized his language and continued: "To put it simply, the original intention of creating fan fiction is to rewrite the plots of the original works that are dissatisfied, not good enough, and have regrets, such as "Zhu Xian" , we can write a brand new protagonist and include both Baguio and Lu Xueqi.”

Tang Yu wrinkled his nose, spat softly, and said, "What are you guys thinking about in your heads?"

Yunfeng's expression changed, and he said seriously: "I don't know about others, but I am definitely a dedicated person, and I only miss you in my mind."

Tang Yu's face suddenly turned red, and he buried his head in eating. After a moment, he raised his head again, glared at him, and said angrily: "You...you are not allowed to think wildly!"

"Ah?" Yunfeng was stunned for a moment, then realized it and said with a smile: "You are thinking wrong..."

When the words came to his lips, under Tang Yu's angry eyes, he swallowed them back and said with a dry smile: "Eat, eat."

Tang Yu saw Yunfeng quickly scooping rice into his mouth and smiled softly, like a faint ray of sunshine drifting from the corner of his mouth.

After dinner, because it was raining, there was no place to hang out or date, so I planned to go back to the dormitory to rest.

But just as he walked out of the school cafeteria, Yunfeng's cell phone rang. He took it out and looked at it, and said, "It's Editor-in-Chief Hu."

Tang Yu reached out to take the umbrella and said, "Take it."

"Have lunch..."

"Fine……"

"We'll be there in about fifteen minutes..."

…

After hanging up the phone, Yunfeng shrugged and said, "It's probably because of the customized fan novels that you asked me to meet and talk."

Tang Yu was about to speak when his cell phone rang. He had to answer the call first, but when he took it out, he smiled and said, "It's also Chief Editor Hu."

In less than a minute, she hung up the phone.

Yunfeng said casually: "Isn't it also because of the customized fan novels that I asked you to meet and talk?"

Tang Yu smiled and nodded: "Yes."

Yunfeng just heard that she politely refused again on the phone and could only go alone. He immediately said: "Okay, I will take you back to the dormitory first."

Tang Yu happened to see a few girls in his class coming out of the school cafeteria, so he said to him: "I will just go back to the dormitory with them. You go back quickly."

After saying that, he called one of the girls by name, covered his head with his hands, and trotted over.

Zero Degree Cafe.

This is the place where I met with Hu Guoting.

It took a long time to go back and forth to the Panda Building, and there was still time to talk, so I definitely couldn't make it in time for the afternoon class, so I chose a place near the Magic City Conservatory of Music.

The two exchanged a few words.

Hu Guoting got straight to the point: "Xiaoyun, the reason why you refused to write customized fan fiction was because of the copyright issue of the last Fengyun novel?"

Yunfeng didn't expect him to be so direct. He smiled lightly and said frankly: "This is just one of the reasons."

Hu Guoting picked up the cup and was about to take a sip of coffee, but Yunfeng's confession just now made him fall into deep thought.

After waiting for a while and seeing that he didn't speak, Yunfeng said, "Actually, I may not be good at writing fan fiction."

Hu Guoting slowly put down the cup without taking a sip of coffee, and said thoughtfully: "Actually, fan fiction is a trivial matter."

As he said that, he took a deep look at Yunfeng, hesitated for a moment, and sighed: "I really can't do anything about copyright, but if I lose such a good author because of this, I..."

When he saw that Yunfeng did not publish the two comics "Slam Dunk" and "Detective Conan" on Penguin Comics, he already knew that Yunfeng had plans to leave Panda Chinese.com.

He also understood that the seemingly reasonable reason to "take a break" was actually to delay the one-year priority period in the contract.

When Yunfeng heard this, he said half-jokingly: "That's not the case. I'm actually holding on to a big idea, brewing a novel that can become a signed author by a great god."

Hu Guoting shook his head and smiled bitterly.

How can it be so easy to order up to one million words for more than one million words?

At this time, it suddenly became quiet, and no one spoke anymore.

There was silence for a long time.

Juice and coffee have all bottomed out.

Yunfeng checked the time and said, "Editor-in-Chief Hu, I have classes in the afternoon. If there is nothing else, I will leave first."

Hu Guoting opened his mouth, but couldn't say a word. What could he do?

Of the three novels, the average subscription for two of them exceeded 800,000 yuan, and the average subscription for the remaining one was over 500,000 yuan.

Several short stories, each with an IP value of at least five million.

Now Yunfeng has the strength and capital to negotiate with Panda Chinese.com.

And before coming, he also talked to the president about this on the phone.

But……

Since capital is injected into the Panda Chinese website, major matters involving copyright require high-level meetings to discuss.

He sighed softly and could only nod helplessly.

The two of them left with their own thoughts.

Thanks to [Pang Jiefen] for the 200 starting coins.
