How to sign a contract for a short story on Qidian Chinese Network
Regarding the signing of short story contracts on Qidian Chinese Network, there was no specific mention of the unique method of signing short story contracts. He only knew that there were two ways to sign contracts: 1. ** Internal Projection **: - Every editor had different requirements. Some asked for more words, while others asked for less. Some asked for an outline, while others didn't. It was about 6,000 words, and 4,000 words might pass. - If the editor had said the draft, it was equivalent to signing the contract. The subsequent release of the book was a process. However, one had to pay attention. If one submitted internally, they could only submit to one editor at a time. If there was no legitimate reason to submit more than one manuscript, it would be easy to block it. This meant that this editor could only submit to one editor. If they encountered an editor who read the manuscript slowly, it would be more time-consuming. 2. ** Directly Send a Book (Directly Reckless)**: - He opened the book directly through the Author's Assistant and waited for the editor to scoop it up. The advantage was that all editors could see the works, such as writing Xianxia novels, urban fantasy editors, and even light novel editors who thought the works were good. The disadvantage was that he would be anxious if he didn't receive the contract notice (short message) and might check the Author's Assistant frequently. - The number of words that the editor could see was related to the time the book was published. If the book was published on Saturday and Sunday, the 30,000 words might not be short because the editor did not work on weekends. A minimum of 6,000 words could enter the editing platform of the group. All editors with more than 30,000 words could see it, but other groups of editors might not read it if they were busy. - In terms of time, it was better to release the book on Saturday. He would write 4,000 words a day. When the number of words was enough on Monday, the editor would be able to read it. If the editor was busy on Monday, he would be able to read it on Tuesday. If the book was released on Thursday and Friday, the editor would rest on the weekends. He could only wait bitterly on Saturday and Sunday. - Although signing the contract early was just because the editor thought it was good, it did not mean that the readers thought it was good or that the work would definitely be popular. If the editor had not taken over 50,000 words, the work might have some flaws. If the contract was hopeless and he did not plan to write anymore, it was best to see if there were any short posts within a week, because sometimes, he would also receive short posts if he stopped updating. In addition, some authors signed contracts with short story reviews. Although it was difficult for short stories to become popular and there were not many recommendations on the platform, if the reviews were unique, such as Cang Yiwei's online book review "Cang's Ravings", which had a sharp writing style, they could also sign contracts and get full recommendations.
Qidian Contract 2021
The signing of Qidian in 2021 was as follows: - In terms of income, it was more common for online writers to earn an annual salary of 100,000 yuan, while "Great Gods" earned 10 million yuan a year. According to the 2021 Rich List of Online Writers, the three young masters of the Tang family, I Eat Tomatoes, and Silkworm Potato ranked in the top three with royalties of 33 million, 21 million, and 18 million respectively. The annual income of Maoni, Innocent, and Third Uncle of the Southern Sect had also exceeded millions. - Qidian's contracted writers had a high workload. For example, on July 1st, 2021, Qidian Chinese Network's contracted "Ten Years of Snow Fall" died from overwork. This reflected that many online writers rarely went out once a month, only visited their friends once or twice a year, and wrote non-stop from 9 am to 10 pm every day. - Qidian Chinese Network had a newcomer benefit. After signing the contract, the income was not fixed. It mainly depended on the number of readers supporting it. Generally speaking, a collection of about 10,000 words, a moderate number of words per day (5000 words), and a stable update (constantly updating), the average monthly income was about 1500 to 1800 yuan.

Qidian 3,000-word contract
At Qidian, it was difficult to sign a contract with 3,000 words. Generally, the minimum word count for a direct hair contract was 6000 words. After reaching this number, the article would appear in the backstage of the editor's group and the editor could only see it (provided that it avoided weekends and holidays). If it was for internal submission, 6,000 words would usually meet the requirements. However, different editors had different requirements. A good draft with 4,000 words might also pass. But overall, 3,000 words was still far from reaching the word count standard that the editor could see and have a greater chance of signing a contract.
Qidian 30,000 words contract
At Qidian, there would be a special situation when the 30,000 words mark was reached. At 30,000 words, if the group of editors did not accept the manuscript, all the editors could see the manuscript and send it to the author.

When submitting a book directly, the editor did not work on weekends. If the book was published on Saturday and Sunday, even if it was 30,000 words, it would not receive a short notice. In order to increase the chances of signing a contract, some other conditions had to be met. For example, the title and introduction had to be attractive.(The introduction should include elements such as the novel's cheat, highlights, suspense, and imagination to increase the chances of signing the contract); The opening story should be centered on the protagonist and the protagonist should appear as soon as possible; The first three chapters (within 6000 words) should include the protagonist, events, and cheat.(Additional points for the system), the upcoming crisis, and other elements; the first chapter of the opening story has a reversal of the plot, the protagonist has a golden finger, and the golden finger has a certain imagination; after the reversal of the opening story, the protagonist uses the golden finger to turn the situation around; the opening story has to have a sense of anticipation, bury the foreshadowing, etc. In addition, the sentences had to be fluent, the wording and sentences had to be at least above the level of primary school students, and the updates had to be stable, which would also help in signing the contract.

They did not contain elements such as golden fingers, highlights, suspense, or imagination. They could not attract the editor's attention to the work. - The main character appeared too late, or the first three chapters (within 6000 words) did not fully present the main character (character), events (plot), cheat (if the system and other elements were present, it would be better), the upcoming crisis, and other elements. - There was no plot reversal in the first chapter, the protagonist did not activate the cheat, or the cheat lacked a sense of anticipation, growth, interest, and so on. - The opening plot did not use a cheat to turn the situation around reasonably, and the crisis setting was not attractive enough. - The opening lacked a sense of anticipation. There was no foreshadowing, suspense, or development of the plot. It did not give the reader the desire to continue reading. 2. ** Basic writing problems **: The sentences are not fluent, and the level of diction and sentence formation is low, affecting the editor's overall evaluation of the work. 3. ** It's related to the time of direct submission **: If it's a direct submission, pay attention to the time of submission. If the book was published on Saturday and Sunday, although 40,000 words had been written, the editor did not work on weekends and had not seen the manuscript yet. It was impossible to confirm whether or not to sign the contract. And even if it exceeded 30,000 words (40,000 words met this condition), although all editors could see it in theory, if the editor was busy, he might not pay attention to the work in time. 4. ** Flaws in the work **: From the content, there may be certain problems in the plot, character creation, story logic, etc., which caused the editor to not choose to sign the contract.
