Have You Ever Met Such a Cold Author - Chapter 11
“How could that be? Of course, of course there are…” The host broke into a cold sweat, trying to make things happen while trying to talk about what to say.
It’s fine when no one mentions this. Once it’s specifically pointed out, it doesn’t need any experienced insiders, even ordinary readers feel that something is wrong—other authors and the host have helped the authors by saying, “Everyone, collect a lot. Rewards” and so on, but the promotion of Bamboo Congsheng’s works was actually mentioned by his readers when they got on the wheat…
Seeing that some viewers on the public screen have begun to question this matter, Lu Lianguang changed his words and gave another step: “I’m just joking, of course there is, how could it not be? It seems to be for Zhu There are too many questions prepared by God, the host needs a little time to flip through the script, it doesn’t matter, you flip it first, and I will chat with you.”
Lu Lianguang is not the kind of character who sees his friends being bullied, so he doesn’t care if he goes up and beats the other party to help his friends get ahead. This kind of behavior seems very loyal, but it is easy to make trouble for the three parties to end. On the contrary , He is a very emotionally intelligent, meticulous and thoughtful person.
Zhu Congsheng is an old author who has been in the circle for eight years. Lu Lianguang can tell the intention of the nib just by listening to the interview. Zhu Congsheng himself, as a player in the game, will not have no idea, but he still cooperates in the first half. Answering the question proves that at least for now, he doesn’t want to tear his face with his boss. If it really turns into a live broadcast accident that can’t be ended, the relationship between the bamboo bushes and the nib will have no room to turn around, so Lu Lianguang will stop at the end, the first sentence will hit the scene, and the next sentence will seem to be out of control. The field was rescued.
He interacted with the audience freely and said, “What would you like to talk about with everyone? By the way, before I opened the microphone, I saw some comments about fan works and Zhushen’s attitude towards readers on the public screen. Bamboo God has been a reader of the same literature for seven years. I am probably qualified to talk to you about this topic. Bamboo God does not interact very much with readers at ordinary times… Cough, alright, alright, don’t swipe, Why is there ‘nothing at all’? Let’s take a look at the forum’s Zhenzhan post. In short, although there is very little interaction, he is an author who cares about the rights of readers more than anyone else, and has made great efforts to this end.
“It is undoubtedly an illegal and infringing act to make a fan. In fact, strictly speaking, the creation of a fan is also infringing. This is why Western fan works usually issue a ‘disclaimer’ at the beginning of their creation. I think Everyone should have this common sense, but it is just a matter of whether the copyright owner will pursue it. Many people may not be aware of it. In the professional circle of online authors, the industry norm is that most copyrights of works do not belong to the author, and It is the attribution website, which includes the right of adaptation infringed by fan works.
“Six years ago, many old readers should remember that the Gloria canvas bag incident that caused a lot of uproar back then, I will not describe it here, and simply give the onlookers who do not know the truth about the popular science, Gloria Art is the first of the bamboo gods. In a work “Cocoon of the Universe”, a very popular female character, six years ago, the nib issued a site-wide notice, seriously warning of the infringement of the Gloria fan canvas bag that was publicly sold online.”
This is the tenth anniversary of the nib, and Lu Lianguang’s speech is very restrained and objective. In fact, although fan works are not legal in the law, but for the sake of popularity, Bi Jian Literature Network turned a blind eye to the fan circle of Bamboo Congsheng’s works in the early years, and it can even be said to be encouraging.
At that time, Zhu Congsheng was a novel author with a promising future, and the nib was also a young, male-focused literary website. In order to create a friendly image, the official blog even reposted a lot of “Cocoon of the Universe” fan art. , Among them, the female general with silver eyes, Gloria Att, appeared the most frequently. Later, the private sector emerged in an endless stream, and the sales volume was considerable. The official himself also moved his mind. Unfortunately, when the nib was preparing for the “Cocoon of the Universe” canvas bag series, the private sector also released a Gloria canvas bag, which is even more unfortunate. Yes, the quality is really good, once it goes on sale, it will inevitably threaten the sales of official peripherals.
Under such circumstances, the nib deleted all the fan works that had been forwarded before, and a warning letter was hung in the notification column of the official website, indicating that if the fan team did not stop the pre-sale of canvas bags in time, the next step would be to enter the legal process .
The doujin canvas bag was naturally not sold, but the practice of the nib caused a lot of controversy, and the subsequent official canvas bag was also sold poorly. This incident also laid the foundation for the later marketing direction of the nib. After this failed attempt, the nib has never directly sold peripheral derivative products, and they are all authorized to go out to other companies or teams, which is a later story.
And Lu Congguang’s understanding of this matter is not only about this. This is the home field of the nib. It is difficult for him to talk about these “causes”, but it does not prevent him from talking about “consequences”. Anyway, before opening the microphone, he has already obtained Tang Tu’s consent.
His voice no longer had a gentle smile, but became serious and calm.
“After this incident, the creative enthusiasm of the entire fandom was greatly affected, but it didn’t take long for the wind to pass, and people continued to publish books and surrounding areas, and gradually everyone forgot about this. Every month in the fandom, excellent works are made into entities and sold on various public platforms. At the comic exhibition, even if your booth is placed on the edge of the official platform, no one will come to you. Trouble. Has anyone thought about why this is?”
The speed of swiping on the public screen has slowed down a lot, and many people have been attracted by his words.
“This is because Bamboo God went to the nib as soon as the incident happened, and fought for a long time to take back the adaptation rights of “Cocoon of the Universe.” And the soil that can survive. As far as I know, there are several teams operating doujin products and many full-time doujin creators, all of which started out by growing doujin.
“It’s not that no one came to trouble you, it’s just that the Bamboo God blocked it for you. The price he paid was a large amount of liquidated damages, and sacrifices and concessions on a large number of other contract terms. And what did he get? ? Fans make profits, the original author can’t get a penny, and no one has ever thought about bringing the original author to share with him. His character is not flamboyant, and he did these things in silence and never made it public. .But…”
When Lu Lianguang said this, he finally became a little bit sincere. He paused for two seconds to ease his emotions before continuing: “But he doesn’t say it. You should also know that he really cares about readers. Pressure from the authorities, he is alone. It’s over. There are some things he doesn’t want to say, so I’ll tell you today. Forget about other people. There are some people who claim to be fans. Don’t complain while enjoying his protection. Bamboo God never cares about people. , Bamboo God doesn’t respect us. He paid so much behind his back, so he just got these back, think about how hurtful this is…”
Lu Lianguang is an author who is extremely good at arousing empathy among readers, and with his excellent eloquence, within a few minutes of his speech, the public screen has already burst into tears.
【Audience】: QAQ my Bamboo God…
[audience]: I burst into tears! !
[Audience]: I actually cried even if it wasn’t for the bamboo clumped powder…
[Guest author] Qi Xiejia: Liquidated damages are really expensive! ! The strength is distressed by the Bamboo God!
【Audience】: Suddenly want to be the leader of the Bamboo God.
[Audience]: I’ve been watching the pirated version. I’m so ashamed. I couldn’t even give him the subscription money. Now I’m going to pay for the revised version of QAQ.
[Audience]: Tears are out of control, I will give a reward to Zhushen Xinwen to calm down.
[Audience]: Still shocked that Kataha is a man… If I remember correctly, there seems to be danmei among his fans? ? ?
[Audience]: Although it doesn’t seem out of place, I really want to know, Mrs. Kataba… uh, Da, do you know Bamboo God in real life? And it’s like we’ve known each other for a long time?
Seeing that some people had calmed down, Lu Lianguang cleared his throat and said: “Zhu Shen, he doesn’t seem to be feeling very well, we may go to the hospital to see it. So let’s talk here first, don’t forget to support Zhu Shen. God is serializing the “Six Realms”! Once again, the **** of bamboo wishes a happy tenth birthday to Ni Ni, host, return the field to you.”
After he finished speaking, he immediately turned off the microphone, leaving a public screen that seemed to have been bombed by an atomic bomb.
“Where are you uncomfortable?” Lu Congguang asked as he exited the live broadcast room.
Tang Tu met his concerned eyes, as if he had been burned, and quickly lowered his head, remembering how this person had just defended his appearance in front of hundreds of thousands of people, and curled his fingers in confusion.
Seeing that he didn’t speak, Lu Lianguang felt a little anxious, took a step forward and knelt in front of him, put one hand on Tang Tu’s knee, looked up at his face worriedly, “Although I just said an excuse just now. … Are you really sick? Or is it a stomach ache? Let’s go to the hospital now?”
Tang Tu had seen this person’s swift and resolute execution. He was afraid that he would really take him to the hospital, so he replied in a panic, “No, I just have a stomachache. Also, it’s not because of the stomachache, I…”
He didn’t dare to look directly at the concerned and anxious eyes of the other party, and he didn’t dare to say anything.
Mother’s piercing roar came from his distant boyhood piercing time and space: You don’t want to make friends, you can’t make friends! No one wants to be friends with a sick monster!
no! The teenage Tang Tushang has a little juvenile spirit, he argued, no, I just like to be alone and read a book, girls are active, boys are quiet, there is nothing abnormal!
But later, his life became worse and worse, more and more terrifying, and a “disease” much more serious than “a boy hiding in his room reading idle books all day” was exposed. This time, he grew up in a traditional small village. The poor mother was completely devastated, and no longer had the confidence to educate her son on the right path by scolding him, and sent him to the hospital.
Like a curse, his mother’s words were finally verified. It’s not that he doesn’t want to make friends, he can’t make friends anymore.
After being hospitalized for half a year, Tang Tu’s “illness” was cured, but since then, he has also completely, completely, and forever lost his social skills.
