Jin Mu acted quickly, because he had to release his new work in March, so he quickly negotiated a cooperation with Tribe Literature. As long as Chu Kuang could secure a top three spot, he could get an additional 200,000 yuan in royalties.
This is the importance of net worth.
Now Chu Kuang ranks 14th among Qin Qichu short story writers, and the power of publicity and appeal is enormous.
This is the confidence that Chu Kuang can ask the tribe to pay extra royalties when he releases a new work!
This is also due to the aggressive attention from platforms such as blogs.
Because if they don’t agree to Chu Kuang’s request, what if they turn around and cooperate with the blogger
We have to be on guard.
Facts have proved that the tribe's concerns were correct.
Just as Jinmu signed the contract for the new short story on behalf of Chu Kuang and the tribe, someone from the blog contacted him.
"The tribe hopes that you can cooperate with them. The remuneration is 300,000 yuan, and the bonus is another ..."
When Jinmu mentioned this matter to Lin Yuan, the contract had already been signed.
no way.
Lin Yuan has no intention of breaching the contract. He still attaches great importance to the spirit of contract, and the reputation of each alias is very important.
"Of course, I'm not advising you to break the contract."
Kaneki smiled and said, "I was just wondering, is it possible to collaborate with the blogger on the next short story?"
Lin Yuan was stunned for a moment, then said: "It can be considered."
His partnership with the tribe is only temporary.
If the blog can offer a higher price, Lin Yuan can certainly consider publishing his new work on the blog.
There are no eternal friends, nor eternal enemies.
Although Chu Kuang had helped the tribe fight against Blog before, it didn’t mean he couldn’t help Blog fight against the tribe.
It doesn't count as jumping back and forth.
Kaneki nodded: "I will keep in touch with the bloggers. For the next work, if they can produce more, we will consider it."
At this point, Jinmu said:
"Because of the merger, there are more and more top writers in various fields, and the tribe is much more selective in writers than before. So it is common for writers to publish their previous work on the tribe and their next work on the blog. Even the tribe itself can't say much about it, everyone is used to this running between the two ends."
The tribe has set up bounty rewards for the top three finishers.
There are naturally similar bounty rewards on the blog.
Because the amounts are not that different, writers will of course consider both sides.
If the tribe is too competitive one month, why not compete next door
Although the number of readers of blogs is less than that of blogs, it is not fatal.
As things get finalized.
Soon, the tribe announced that Chu Kuang’s new work would be released in March. This is a warm-up that all major platforms will do, and with Chu Kuang’s fame, it can achieve a good publicity effect.
This is indeed the case.
Since Chu Kuang hasn't released a new work for a long time since "The Necklace", many people can't wait, and the promotional column is full of anticipation:
“Finally, a new work is going to be released!”
"Chu Kuang's short stories are absolutely amazing!"
"I have always felt that Chu Kuang's ranking in the short story rankings is a bit low. Several of his works are now considered classics. I hope this novel can help Chu Kuang's ranking rise to a higher level."
"Oh, a new work by old thief Chu Kuang? Ah, it's a short story, that's fine."
“Hahahaha, so real. As soon as he started talking, I knew you were a fan of the long stories. In fact, Chu Kuang’s short stories are also good and worth reading.”
"Is Chu Kuang planning to rush for a ranking this time?"
"Looking at the tribe's bench, it's clear that Chu Kuang will rule the world next month."
"Yes, I wasn't looking forward to the tribe's lineup next month, but after seeing Chu Kuang, I feel like I'm okay again."
"It looks like Chu Kuang will get the first prize again."
"I'm not sure I'll get first place, but I'm sure I'll be in the top three, after all, there's also Teacher Shen Jiarui who will be in the same position."
"… "
Whether it is a tribe, a blog or other platform, every time a new short story writer participates in the bounty competition next month, the platform will use the writer's fame to promote it.
As for Tribal Literature, the places for participating in the bounty competition in March have almost been filled.
The most influential person at present is Shen Jiarui.
This is the short story writer currently ranked 26th in the Merged Continent, and his ability is considered very strong.
And now with the joining of Chu Kuang, the person with the most classification naturally became Chu Kuang.
but…
Compared to the excitement and anticipation of the readers, the short story writers on the tribe who are going to release new works in March are in a rather bad mood.
Almost as soon as the news came out, their small circle of short stories began to wail.
"It's over, there will be a Chu Kuang in March!"
"Ah Xi, if I had known that Chu Kuang Sanyue was going to come out, I should have avoided him. There is one less spot in the top three!"
"Teacher Shen Jiarui's appearance was already a headache, and with Chu Kuang's addition, there are two fewer spots for the top three. Are we going to have to compete for the third place?"
"It seems that we can only watch Teacher Chu Kuang and Shen Jiarui fight?"
"I originally had an idea for the third place, but now it seems difficult. Fortunately, we negotiated some royalties in private."
“The tribe doesn’t pay much for writing privately. Only big names like Chu Kuang and Shen Jiarui get high royalties.”
"… "
Unknowingly, Chu Kuang had become the boss in the eyes of many of his peers.
He released a new work in March, which directly caused a lot of trouble for his colleagues in the tribe who also released new works at the same time.
At this time.
In a small group of short story writers, someone with good connections tagged Shen Jiarui:
"Teacher Shen's chance to improve his ranking has come. All he has to do is defeat Chu Kuang!"
"That's right. Chu Kuang is ranked 14th. He may not drop in rank if he loses, but Mr. Shen will definitely have a good improvement in this wave."
“It’s a danger, but also an opportunity.”
“I think all writers who make it into the short story rankings are very formidable, and Mr. Shen, who is ranked over 20, should not be underestimated.”
"… "
Shen Jiarui was watering the flowers at home at this time. When he saw someone tagging him in the group, he subconsciously took a look and then glared:
"Chu Kuang and I are from the same period?"
He tagged several friends in the same group and asked for advice.
"yes."
"The tribe just officially announced that Chu Kuang hasn't released a new short story in a while, and you finally caught up. It would have been great if he had released a new work last month. The writer from Chu Province who ranked eighth last month won the championship."
"This month is not bad either, Mr. Shen's chance has come!"
"If Chu Kuang is killed, Teacher Shen will take off immediately!"
"Go!"
"… "
The group responded one after another.
Everyone thought that Shen Jiarui was determined to fight and they all cheered him on, because Shen Jiarui was the strongest writer in this small group!
If we have to choose someone who can fight Chu Kuang, probably the only one in the group is Shen Jiarui.
"… "
Shen Jiarui sent a string of ellipsis, his face fell, and left a message in the group:
"Fuck it, it's over."
There’s a good chance that my first place will be ruined!
