The big “Earthquake” to the chinese writers【2】are you monkey？

“everything you write is not belongs to you”
“The copyright belongs to the company for 50 years”
“once you sign，your novel，your pen name，even the academic paper you are writing will not belongs to you”
......
this is not Cyberpunk 2077，this is what happened in 2020‘s china
the event is ended for months，so i decide to make a record here
（learn english by myself，might be many spell mistakes）

in the last post，we talk about how yuewen and its new contract in 2020.4.27
（https://forum.novelupdates.com/thre...ese-writers【1】bloodly-contract.126329/page-2）

some of the writers chose to run to another website，some decide to get another job
and the rest of them，chose to fight
5.1 is the International Labor Day,the best day for the writers fightagainst the capitalist
they issue a statement:
you want my copyright? sure,we will stop updating novel in 5.5 , let everyone know this！

then,the announcement is spread on various platforms,words,pictures,even the guy who dont watch novel also know whats happening
then,the Yuewen company start to moves

there is a sarcastic joke in china

"i have 4 bananas,how do i feed 5 monkey?"
the answer is give the strongest monkey 1 banana,so the rest monkey wont notice you anmore!
they will fight with the strongest monkey.
after they fight,you can give them 3 Banana peels,and the monkeys will be all grateful to you.

“there is different tpyes of contract，the more popular you are the better contract you get”，huh？

now
the strongest monkey get his banana,decide to speak for the Yuewen

tang-jia-san-shao（唐家三少），the writer of the 《Douluo Dalu》
he used to be the young writers idol，but soon he become the Judas of chinese writer
in 2019，he initiatived there should be a check to all the novels
that result a big cleaning from the government，million of book is delete
ironnically,tang loves to put sexual suggestion in his novel,but he delelate all the sex before the cleaning,so his books is fine.
tang got what he wants
he become a member of the Bureau of Writers Association,and Yuewen Company shareholder.

in 5.3，tang stand up again

“When you get a contract with all overlord terms, you must first consider the benefits and disadvantages of this contract. Authors at different stages are different. Authors who are good enough are eligible for bargaining, and newcomers must consider what to give up and get what.”

of course，young writers dont care what they say，Tangs social media is full of fk you
but this is not for the young writers,is a message for the"Authors who are good enough"——hey， strong monkey，you want you banana or not？

soon ，there is more platinum-god-level writer speak for the Yuewen company
the writers recive editor's threat：“if you stop update in 5.5，you will never get recommend”

there is also a huge group of writers stay remain silent
how clever they are————if the young writers success，they can share all the bananas.
and if the young writers fail，as the strong monkey，at least they can recieve one banana from yuewen

that is what young writers faced
when they look aroud,there is no one elso fight with them but only spectators
the cruel reality nearly extinguished their blood
(How ironic ,china is build for avoid these,and this is decades later china)

will they success？

NEXT
【3】Faint flames in the blizzard

ps:
because this things,is more hard to find new good books now
i am curious if the translate book is same.or because they translate old books so is fine now

 

Like Chinese people like to said that western people calling eastern people a monkey.... though I not agree but this article about Chinese make agree that their is indeed an monkey. .

 

Tl;dr: Yuewen's monkey business driving Chinese authors bananas.

 

oh wow. this made me speechless. ngl although i did like douluo dalu 1, i didn't like the rest of the series and even in dd1 there's very obvious male chauvinism present that's hard to ignore.

 

meh~
so it indeed weibo format and from last year

as for Tang
trololololol

 

sorry ，bad english
do weibo format means this post，or the writes Affirm，or the contract？

 

the post format remind this cat with source from social media such as Twitter or Facebook which if we consider china it mean weibo~
try compare such news or gossip you may come with similar conclusion~
something like instastory on instagram then used on gossip online newsplatform, similar format hence the conclusion the news maybe on weibo format

 

oh，i see
the bad news is ，Tengxun，the monopoly company who buy Yuewen can influences Weibo
so writers gather in china“quora”and “telegram”
（and china “telegram” is also under Tengxun control，damn）

so i decide to write the article here
