Original title: Reading event continues to escalate: author initiates court section and official refutes rumor three times
Last week may be the most stormy week since the advent of the Internet literature industry. The five managers of the founding team of the “Reading Group” “retired,” and many authors of online literature raised objections to the new contract and even raised the voices of the Hunan Province Network Writers Association, the Association of Writers of the Guizhou Province Network and the Association of Writers of the Sichuan Province Network. Two documents were issued yesterday to clarify.
Yesterday, the incident escalated further. Some web writers have released the “Fifth Five-Year Breakdown” for the Reading Group online literature platform about Sina Weibo, Zhihu and other online platforms to resist the reduction of author’s rights and interests launched by the reading group by cutting ( stop updating). New contract. This action was supported by a large number of Internet users, and the theme of “55 Diversion” was read more than 35 million times on Sina Weibo.
In response to the previous incidents, the reading group issued a statement of clarification for the third time in the evening, responding to the six “rumors” of “total freedom”, “owning the author’s copyright” and “compromising income of the deceased author. ” With respect to the “Fifth Five-Year Break” mentioned above, the Reading Group stated in the previous statement that there is no abnormal fluctuation in the updated data from current reading jobs. Additionally, the article did not take any operational action, including external rumors, such as the time of modification, post-change threats were not recommended. The article also stated that the contract was launched in September 2019. It is normal for individual online literary authors to apply for permission and occasionally break due to personal issues, writing status adjustments etc. “More” is a false conclusion.
Article 11.1 of the “New Contract” further clarifies that the relationship between the two parties is “employment”, but the employment of Part B by Part A does not mean that there is an employment or employment relationship in the Labor Law of the People’s Republic of China between Part A and Part B. Relationship, that is, not providing various treatments, such as labor insurance and social security, as required by law. And the author’s assertion that copyright does not belong to the author, but belongs to the reading platform. In the previous clarification, Yuewen said that copyright is divided into copyright and property rights. Personal copyright rights are indivisible personal rights, and copyright property rights are granted voluntarily after negotiation between the two parties.
He also said that only when the author authorizes the reading operation (all kinds of social accounts) and there is a need for the operation, the reading will be assisted by social accounts. All foundations are based on the author’s authorization and the protection of the author’s interests.
And the late writer’s “Three Thieves of Thieves” heated speech on espionage of income, the article said Sanchi’s latest work was signed by Genesis Chinese. The starting point is one of the distribution platforms for this work. Previously, due to content review, multiple jobs, including this job, did not continue to sync, and have now passed the content review to resume sync. Furthermore, although Sanchi’s works are purchase books, the manuscripts are always distributed and inherited by his family. Sanchi is an excellent writer of the reading platform and our everlasting friend. Respect the deceased and express your opinions rationally.
But for Article 6.9 of the “new contract”, “the share ratio was changed to” net income “after deducting operating costs, and the share was 50%, and the same is true for other subscriptions.” The article did not respond. Some authors believe that this has indirectly reduced their income because the previous contract did not mention “the” net profit “after deducting operating costs.” Furthermore, the author did not reply whether he should enjoy social security and other rights.
Earlier (May 3), in response to market rumors, the new Yuewen Group management responded twice, and new CEO Cheng Wu also explained in the circle of personal friends.
In two statements, the Yuewen Group clarified that the controversial “new contract” was launched in early September 2019, and a writers’ talk will be held on May 6 to revise the unreasonable terms accordingly; the management team said “Everyone” Free reading “is impossible and unrealistic. Going forward, we will consolidate and maintain the payment model and explore innovative models; limited time-free WeChat reading activity for royalty content The author of reading is the improper operation of the channel itself and the errors in the management of the reading channel.As a result, this activity is currently offline and will not have an impact on the earnings of writers; again, writers are the base of the reading platform.
Cheng Wuze claimed in his personal circle of friends that the original plan used at least three months to fully integrate into the team, communicate with writers, and communicate with industry partners. But these two days of rumors started suddenly, and it was invented that “reading the article would cancel paid reading and implement a completely free strategy, and would force some of the terms of the writers agreement that were used in parallel last year and were fully launched in the middle of the month with a new agreement for a new management team. ” Rumors He said that the subject of the contract will face the reading of the article; the common goal of all is to achieve better results for the writer; And those rumors and smears will also make reading the article more sober and firm to get it right.
Beginning with the collective “retirement” of the top five management readings on April 27, some authors of the reading gathered at the Dragon Sky Forum (hereafter Longkong.com) to discuss issues related to the reasons from the departure of the five senior managers, the free reading mode and The dispute over the payment model finally focused on the issues of attribution of copyright, adjustment of the participation rate in reading the “new contract” and the impact of free reading on income. Over the next few days, the author and netizens joined forces to “streamline” and gradually extend the discussion to the Weibo, Zhihu, Tieba, Station A, and Station B discussion areas.
As of May 2, I know the title is “Tencent takes over reading, is there a future for new authors to join the industry?” Questions rushed to the second list, Weibo rushed to the second list of topics, Longkong.com published a total of 47,000 broken posts The highest record in history. At the same time, starting May 3, the great online literary author Ji Cha, Ming Qiao, the dream machine, the heavenly potato, such as tomatoes, etc., voiced the event, the writer of “Hai Tou Ji Xiaolan “Wang Hailin, the well-known screenwriter Gao Xuan supported the author Protection of Rights. The capital market also reacted: on April 29 and May 4, the stock price of Reading suffered two consecutive falls, 4.65% and 8.18%, respectively. On May 5 and 6, Reading’s stock price rose and rose, respectively. 3.44% and 5.29% at press time was HK $ 34.85 per share.
