I want to know what happened to the Reading Group on the 27th.

On April 27th, the five founders of Reading Media resigned, and a vice CEO related to Tencent Film and Television and others took over the Reading Media Group. However, the specific reasons for this situation have not been explained in the reading.

The overlord contract exposed on the Internet refers to various overlord clauses in the new contract. Although it is a new contract, the newly appointed person in charge of reading said that it was released by the old team last year but not fully used, and it has nothing to do with the new team. As for the dissatisfaction with the new contract, there is no specific response.

Since then, the incident has been further fermented, and people who pay attention to this matter gradually realize that the new contract is overbearing, but the old contract is not much better. Later, Wang Hailin (screenwriter Ji Xiaolan with iron teeth and copper teeth) and a series of famous people also participated in the condemnation of this incident. Even though posts were deleted and restricted on all major platforms, the popularity remained high.

Then a series of events happened one after another:

The once famous author "Moonshadow Indus" successfully raised public funds in less than half a day, and it was going to build a website for "joint reading" that only took the electronic copyright of the author's works

In just four or five days, almost no one was interested in submitting bills, and suddenly a large number of people submitted copyright bills with more than 1, suggestions (at that time, the time for collecting bills and suggestions was still more than 3 days) < . . And so on

As for the changes before and after the contract, it can be summarized as follows:

The old contract: the author's income distribution is unclear, all the author's rights and interests such as copyright, adaptation right, continuation right, etc. are given to Wenwen free of charge, and the new written works within one year after the end of the work still have priority to sign with Wenwen (unlimited dolls) ... and a series of unequal clauses

The new contract (mainly about the differences): < p And the "Labor Law" is not applicable

Because the reading in the new contract can be modified, continued and the author can't be changed, and the author can't ask a third party other than the reading to help complete the work, the work is theoretically completed by both the reading and the author. As a result, the author's most basic personal right of works will also be divided, while the right to benefit from works is originally completely owned by the reader. (The author can only get a small share from the income that has been signed in the contract but is very opaque, and from the contract alone, the author has nothing to do with the income from the IP adaptation of subsequent works)

There are other things, so I won't describe them in detail here. After all, if you want to write it all down, you can't finish it here. But you should have a general understanding when you see this.

pure hand play, hope to adopt!
