Yue Qingyan did not see what kind of interest the "Witch Dance" guide skill of chewing wine, nor did he think that he would be moving when he danced. He sighed and accepted this reality, and then sent Faust away. Faust seemed to have no interest in disturbing his life.

Although the first story has been written, to be honest, the story "Your Name" is of no help in changing the reality that he is a pujie author. This story was originally written by Shinkai Makoto and was directly made into an animated movie. With Shinkai Makoto's energy, even if it is a shit-like story, it can still make the audience buy it with its super artistic ability. But Yue Qingyan does not have this ability.

A light novel written in a strong Japanese style that takes place in RB. The format does not meet the needs of ordinary domestic publishing or magazines, so it is difficult to find an outlet. The publisher will not ask for a manuscript of a pure newcomer. The online platform does not suit this kind of space. A pure light novel platform is basically a synonym for Pujie. The magazine is similar. Popular authors can easily get a manuscript with a very good manuscript, and it is enough to write it well, but it is really hard to imagine that a newcomer wants to publish a 60,000-word piece.

What should I do? This is a feeling of sorting out the original world and the nostalgia for the subtle intimacy with Ding Chen. It is really a pleasure.

If you want to change your situation and earn royalties, you still have to write something else. But what to write? Where to post it?

For an author, manuscript fees are never so easy to earn.

If you submit articles to a magazine, such as "Berry" and "Harvest", it is usually a deadline for three months in advance. It takes time to review the manuscript, and the submitted manuscripts are not confirmed at the first time. From submitting the manuscript to obtaining the manuscript fee, four or five months is a relatively lucky time. When the same length and the same type of novels accumulate more, it is normal to publish the manuscript for three or four months or even half a year. Literary journals always operate slowly and exquisitely, and are not slow. For those familiar with the literature field, the biggest advantage of publishing novels in this type of journal is to improve their quality. Moreover, generally speaking, this type of journal only requires a single publication authorization, which does not affect publishing and other authorization behaviors at all.

Columns and serializations in newspapers and magazines must first be written. Even if the speed of commercial literature magazines is faster than that of literary journals, it usually depends on whether they meet the magazine's publication examples: they usually refer to the content tone of the manuscript, etc. However, this kind of commercial magazine is better. Usually, they will contact the author first, and then confirm the authorization of the manuscript, etc. Some magazines even issue the manuscript fee after confirming the publication and complete the authorization. But God knows how long this time is. Especially whether it meets the journal examples and which magazine to submit, the author needs to make a judgment on its own. This type of magazine usually has its own fixed semi-fixed author team and rarely relies on external manuscripts.

There are various ways to play online platforms. If it is a serialized online article, it is easy to calculate from the start of serialization to obtaining royalties: a month's new book period will be released, and then it will be released, and the royalties will be obtained at the beginning of the third month. Of course, this is also an ideal situation. If the book's grades are bad, it is hard to say whether there will be a contract signing. Or the collection number does not meet the standard, it will have to be serialized for longer for free. Even if it is released, maybe one month's hard work will be the maximum amount of money.

It’s fast to get money from buying out manuscripts, but Yue Qingyan doesn’t know anyone now and can’t find a way to get the buying out manuscripts.

Other platforms also have some income channels, such as posting public accounts that can ask readers for rewards. But these are not very stable, and for newcomers, they are almost nothing.

Yue Qingyan had a headache, and the most urgent task was that in addition to finding channels to earn royalties and maintaining his own life, he also needed to find ways to make himself a little famous in this circle. Although he was Pujie, he knew that a famous author and a Pujie author were far different in making money. Moreover, knowing editors through submissions, knowing other authors and industry insiders is also an important channel for finding more development opportunities.

Yue Qingyan searched for various information on the Internet. The magazine circle is becoming increasingly difficult to get along with the physical publishing circle. The fastest way to build popularity in the circle is still the same as in the past: participating in the competition. Although the number and scale are not as good as before, there are still several essay competitions with a little popularity every year. Some are held by website platforms, some are organized by copyright operators and film and television companies. Some influential WeChat public accounts will also hold some essay contests to serve their own content platforms. But in the final analysis, these essay contests are all for obtaining IP.

However, even for the sake of obtaining IP, there is a difference between good-looking and bad-looking food. Before participating in the competition, you have to carefully read the submission details of the essay contest. As a completely uninitiated person, you will really touch pitfalls everywhere.

These situations were told by the boss before. What Yue Qingyan learned from the boss was not only the rhythm of online literature, the basics of control and plot design, but also a lot of copyright management and other knowledge. The boss also encountered many pitfalls at the beginning. Now, that knowledge has become the necessary knowledge for Yue Qingyan to manage himself.

The first thing that was excluded was an essay contest called "The Great Fantasy". The copyright agreement is so damn. Once the submission is adopted, it will be the contracted author of the platform by default. All works written within 5 years belong to this official account platform. This is clearly a fraudulent copyright with the help of this account. Using a single publication of a work to obtain all the copyrights of an author within a few years is simply a flawless and profitable robbery.

Yue Qingyan gave up after reading the details of a publishing platform after reading the details several times. The other party didn’t want much. Once the entries won the prize, they would have to have the full copyright of the entries for five years. Of course, if they win the prize, in addition to the royalties and bonuses, there are also guaranteed prints for the work. The conditions can be said to be very good. However, the work is placed online for netizens to vote, and there are already authors with considerable popularity and appeal among the contestants. It is clear that this is to use the essay to boost popularity for their own signed authors, so why bother to be cannon fodder?

After reading a few more essay contests, Yue Qingyan decided to participate in an essay contest called "Creative Elements". Although it is a new competition, the competition is divided into four groups: Internet communication sketches, short stories, mediums and long stories. The constraints on winning works are also very relaxed. If you win the award, you can choose to sign a copyright agency and priority contract with this company, a cultural company called "Mingqian", or a single buyout contract. How to sign it depends on the author's positioning and estimation of himself. Generally, new authors often choose to authorize the work and receive cash rewards, publishing opportunities or other adaptation opportunities.

Newcomers often have no other choice. Using a work to boost their popularity and gain more opportunities and connections in the industry is the best choice.

Although "Your Name" meets the length requirements of the novella in the essay contest, Yue Qingyan gave up after thinking about it. Japanese light novels like "Your Name" are completely unsuitable for participating in domestic essay contests. If you have the chance in the future, it would be a good choice to translate it into Japanese and publish it.

Participating in the essay contest is actually a shorter length and more pleasing work. The judges have so many manuscripts, but they have no good patience. Many judges throw away the manuscripts after reading the first page without seeing the highlights. Patience is almost the case or sensitive to the text, and it is enough to read three or four lines.

After thinking about it, Yue Qingyan decided to write a female-oriented story, a modern urban emotional story. The female-oriented story is more appealing in this kind of essay. Moreover, modern urban themes do not need to spend too much time explaining the background and describing the environment, and time and energy can be placed on the story itself. Moreover, female-oriented emotional stories with a little darkness are more likely to leave a deep impression on people.

Although Yue Qingyan is an online gunman, women still read a lot of stories. But when it comes to feelings, they are basically not much deeper. After all, he is a pure straight man, and he really doesn't master the delicate emotions of the little girl type stories. However, he is a newcomer to a short story, so he doesn't have to perform too well at once. In addition, the story he wants to write was originally a long story, abbreviated as a short story, with more than 10,000 words, and the plot is very sufficient, which greatly increases the intensity of the narrative.

More importantly, the story he wanted to write came from an author who was very good at writing "golden sentences". It was simply too suitable to participate in the essay contest.

It took Yue Qingyan three days to finish writing and another one to revise it before finally submitting the manuscript to the email address for the essay collection.

"It seems like there is still a lot of time?" Yue Qingyan did not rush to draw skills, but wrote a short story about maleness and submitted a man to participate in the competition.

Male-oriented works are a science fiction novel. Before he was reborn, this short story was adapted from the movie and received quite a lot of praise. The original text was not long, but Yue Qingyan spent a lot of writing and writing to describe the details clearly, and it took about 30,000 words to explain the whole story clearly.

During the essay contest, he still played a relatively interesting little operation: his two works were given two pseudonyms.

The female-oriented ones use "Xia Li", while the male-oriented ones use "Yanhuo". The meaning is unknown, but it seems to be very touching.
