The specific signing criteria were decided by the editors based on the content, value, and data of the work. I wish you a happy writing.
The specific process of signing a contract with the novel reading network may vary by region and platform, but generally speaking, the following is the basic process of signing a contract: 1. Sign a contract: You can sign a contract on the novel reading website by filling in a form or uploading your work. When applying, you need to provide relevant information about the work, such as the title, author's name, genre, introduction, outline, etc. 2. Review and sign the contract: The website editor will review the application mainly to see if the work meets the requirements of the website, such as writing style, plot, character creation, etc. If the work passed the review, it could be published on the website. 3. Sign a contract: After the review is passed, sign a contract with the website to agree on the rights and obligations of both parties. The contract usually included the copyright of the work, word limit, publishing arrangements, share ratio, and so on. 4. Post your work: After signing the contract, you can start posting your work on the website. After the work was published, it had to be updated and posted on the website to increase the exposure of the work. 5. Maintain copyright: After the work is published, the copyright of the work belongs to the website and the author. The author had to maintain the copyright in accordance with the prescribed methods, such as paying royalties, modifying the work, etc. 6. Follow-up cooperation: After the work is published, the author and the website can negotiate and communicate about the follow-up cooperation. For example, they could work together to create other works or promote them together.
There were two main differences between a contract reader and a contract signing: 1. Contract content: Reading the contract and signing the contract are two different forms of contract. Yuewen's contractor referred to the person who had signed a contract with Yuewen to become a subsidiary of Yuewen Group. The contract was a contract provided by Yuewen Company that included the distribution of profits, rights protection, and other aspects. 2. Creation rights: There was a difference in creation rights between the reader and the contract. The contract holder had a higher right to create and publish the work at any time and place. The contract was more restrictive and required them to abide by certain creation time and publication time limits, as well as copyright management regulations. Therefore, as an author, he needed to carefully read the contract signing guide and contract contents of the reading company before signing the contract to understand the specific provisions and rights of the contract to avoid unnecessary disputes in the creative process. At the same time, after signing the contract, they had to abide by the contract, protect their legal rights, and maintain good writing and publishing habits.
The difference between signing a contract and not signing a contract usually lay in the copyright and profits. The signing of the contract meant that the author had obtained the copyright and could decide whether to publish, distribute, and sell the novel. If the contract is successful, the author will receive royalties, and the copyright of the novel will be permanently held by the publishing house or online platform. The author only has the right to grant others the right to use the novel, but has no right to adapt, translate, produce, etc. If the author did not sign the contract, the copyright would be temporarily held by the publishing house or online platform. They could decide at any time not to use the novel or sell or share it with other authors. If the novel performed well, the platform might publish it as a physical book to earn royalties. Apart from signing the copyright contract, the author might also receive more support, guidance, and resources. For example, contracted authors could receive recommendations, promotion, and guidance from editors to increase the exposure and popularity of their novels. If the author did not sign a contract, he might face more challenges and uncertainties. He would need more self-promotion and promotion. There was a huge difference between signing a contract and not signing a contract for a novel in terms of copyright and profits. The author should carefully consider whether his work is suitable for signing and decide whether he is willing to take the risk of signing.
Writing novels in Yunqi Academy that met the contract signing standards could be signed directly. However, in order to successfully sign the contract, the author had to pay attention to the following points: 1. The content of the novel meets the contract standards of Yunqi Academy and has a certain degree of attraction and legibility. 2. The structure of the novel is complete, the plot is coherent, the characters are vivid, and the story logic is reasonable. 3. The language of the novel is concise and clear, and the writing style is smooth and beautiful, which can attract the attention of the readers. 4. The novel has enough updates to maintain the attention of readers. The novel has a certain sense of participation in the community interaction of Yunqi Academy and can establish contact with other readers. If the author's novel met the above requirements and could be actively maintained and promoted, it was possible to successfully sign a contract with Yunqi Academy and become an official online novel.
Different types of novels might have different standards, but the overall difference was not bad (only for new novices). 1. The introduction of the book title is attractive. The introduction contains any of the cheat points, highlights, suspense, imagination, and other elements of the novel. If this standard is met, the chances of signing the contract will increase by 10%. If this standard is not met, no points will be added. 2. It was best to start the story with the main character as the center. The earlier the main character appeared, the more points he would get. If he met the criteria, the chances of signing a contract would increase by 10%. If he did not meet the criteria, there would be no points. 3. In the first three chapters (within 6000 words), the protagonist (character), event (plot), cheat (System +10 points), upcoming crisis (extra points if there are any), and other elements must appear. New books that meet all the criteria have a 60% chance of being signed. 4. [Advancement criteria: In the first chapter, the plot will be reversed. The protagonist will activate his cheat, and the cheat will have a certain sense of anticipation, growth, and interest. In other words, there will be a certain amount of room for imagination (points will be added if there is creativity).] 5. The opening plot had a reversal, and the protagonist had to use the golden finger to turn the situation around reasonably. The greater the danger, the more points. It was best if it was a situation where death was inevitable. 6. The opening had a certain sense of anticipation, giving the reader the desire to continue reading. That was to say, the opening had to bury the foreshadowing, suspense, and the development of the plot to give the reader the expectations they wanted. Other than that, there were also some necessary small standards, such as the sentences being at least fluent, the wording and sentences being at least above the level of primary school students, and the updates being stable. In reality, as long as a newcomer's new book met the first three criteria, steadily updated to 50,000 words, and did not have any major plot problems, there was an 80% chance that they would sign the contract.
If the novel was not written in accordance with the requirements of the contract within the stipulated time after signing the contract, or if there was any violation of the law, it would constitute a breach of contract. When a novel was signed, it usually involved the copyright, word count, update frequency, plot, and other aspects of the agreement. If these rules were violated, the contract might be invalid or cause economic losses to the other party. Therefore, the author should read the contract carefully and strictly abide by the terms before writing. If you have any questions, you can consult the editor or lawyer who signed the contract.
The difference between signing a contract and not signing a contract was that the author already had a copyright that allowed him to publish his work on the website. If the contract was signed successfully, the author could publish his novel on Red Sleeves Adding Fragrance and receive the corresponding royalties and rewards. If there is no signed author, the work will be considered free creation and can be published on any website, but may not receive royalties and rewards. The difference between being published after signing the contract and not being published was that the novel had to be published at a specific time to gain traffic and income on the website. If the novel was not on the shelves, it could be published at any time, but it would not receive traffic or income. After the novel was published, it would be updated regularly. The readers could search and read it on major app stores and browser. At the same time, they could also get recommendations from websites and platforms.
Sign the contract. After signing the contract, they could also display their works on the platform and increase their enthusiasm and popularity. Contract signing included word reward, recommended traffic, copyright protection, and so on. These benefits could help increase creative efficiency and profits. Sign a contract to create works together, share creative experience and skills, and improve creative standards. Building a fixed social circle on the platform could also be strengthened. The signing of a contract could help increase creative enthusiasm and popularity, and obtain more creative resources and policy support.
The answer was not certain. This depended on the specific content of the contract between the work and the platform. If the author gave the full copyright of the work to the platform at the time of signing the contract, the author would lose the copyright for a certain period of time (it might be ten years, twenty years, etc.). However, some platforms, such as Jinjiang, would have the copyright belong to the author for life. If the contract only gave part of the copyright, such as the right to publish it online, to the platform, the author would still have the copyright of the work.
The contract with the novel website usually referred to the signing of the copyright with the author. After the author submitted the work on the website and completed the creation, he signed a contract with the website to obtain copyright protection. The signing of contracts usually included the signing of contract terms involving copyright, profit distribution, word count requirements, publication time, confidentiality agreements, and so on. Once signed, the author would no longer be able to sell or adapt the work to others, and the website would have the right to use and publish the work. However, the signing of a novel website usually referred to the signing of a person, not the signing of a work. In the case of signing, the website would cooperate with the author to manage the author's creative process, including the release, update, recommendation, evaluation, and so on. The sign-off usually involved the author's character image, IP value, and other aspects of cooperation. Therefore, unlike the creation of works, the sign-off was more focused on the cooperation between the author and the website rather than the author's personal creation.
