Cheng Huan Chong looked at her and asked with a smile: "Auntie He, how are you doing? Is it done?"
"It's considered to be fine." He Miaomiao explained: "I took all the things today, including if I told you to record them, and the screenshots of WeChat sent by you and the editor. They signed a contract with you.
, There are several very concealed violations of certain provisions of our country's "Works Law". I picked them out one by one and said a few more words."
"What happened later?" Cheng Huanchong asked anxiously: "Did you say I want to terminate the contract? Is there any?"
Xue Ling glanced at his son and whispered: "Be calm and listen to the aunt's words, don't interrupt."
"Oh." Cheng Huanchong answered well.
He Miaomiao smiled: "It's okay. After I picked it out, their manager's face turned black, called the editor and editor-in-chief, and continued to threaten whether you don't want to be in this circle. I thought there was no need.
The fuss was too ugly, but they were too arrogant. I threw out the business card and asked them to wait for the court. I also said that you would publicly edit the recordings and screenshots on Weibo because you were threatened with personal safety.
You will call the police for help next time. They were frightened and pulled me to apologize and beg, and even promised to apologize to you, etc.."
"But I still want to terminate the contract." Cheng Huanchong whispered aggrievedly: "Originally, everyone was still maintaining a cooperative relationship on the surface, but although they were dissatisfied, they tried to endure it and did not show it. After a quarrel, they lifted this veil and everyone was together.
I saw my face clearly, and I really didn’t have the intention to cooperate with them anymore. I felt very disgusted and couldn’t continue to cooperate.”
He Miaomiao nodded: "I know. But you must also consider it clearly. The copyright of your work is signed with them, which means that your future promotion and ownership of your work belong to their platform. Once you break up, you may be
Works will be hidden, and they will even quietly join other colleagues in the circle to isolate you. Moreover, your pen name is given to them, which means you cannot use your pen name to publish comic works elsewhere, otherwise they will hold a contract
As far as I know, your pen name has become popular in the circle for a long time. You are one of the best masters in the circle and the biggest man in the imperial city comics industry. If your pen name is changed, your popularity and your fans will be
It may be greatly reduced, and previous efforts may even be reduced to zero."
"Third brother, you have to think clearly!" Xue Ling advised.
"I've considered it." Cheng Huanchong reluctantly gave up: "How many years can I get a pen name, and how many years can I get a little more. In fact, in our circle, it is normal for an author to have a few numbers. The platform has no
The law gives authors basic salary guarantee or income guarantee. Authors who can make money will promote and cherish them because they are money trees. Those authors who cannot make money will not be persuaded to withdraw, and they will not be able to make money and sneak away and go to other platforms to reopen.
Register a pseudonym from scratch until you make money. I am the lucky one, with only such a pseudonym, and almost every one of my works is popular. At present, several of my works have been published and are selling well on various websites.
I can take these achievements to another platform and start over again, and I will definitely be valued, just the old pseudonym... I can't use it anymore."
"No." Xue Ling whispered in pain: "You have worked hard for so many years and finally got such a pen name. I heard from Xiao Tong that if you say this pen name, it is almost everyone in the comic circle that has been known for four or five years.
If you work hard, how can you give up just by saying you give up?”
"Mom, I can't bear to leave either." Cheng Huanchong said aggrievedly: "But I can't... The contract was signed with this pseudonym that could only be published on their own platforms, and it cannot be used on other platforms."
Xue Ling shook her head: "Think about other ways. Mom doesn't want you to do whatever you have to do, try to find a way."
He Miaomiao frowned slightly and said, "The rule that the cartoonist's pen name must be signed to a platform is actually not very reasonable. I can help you sue and find a way to take the pen name away."
"Really?" Cheng Huanchong asked with his eyes lit up, "Is it OK?"
He Miaomiao couldn't help laughing out loud: "I have more confidence in my aunt."
"I-I certainly have confidence in you!" Cheng Huanchong said excitedly: "My mother said, Auntie, you are the best lawyer in the imperial capital. With your lawsuit, the chance of winning the lawsuit is too high!"
He Miaomiao nodded: "Okay, since you have confidence in me, let's have a fight with them."
Xue Ling couldn't help asking: "What's their company's attitude later? Is there room for negotiation?"
"Fence-headed grass, swaying at both ends." He Miaomiao shook his head: "Just just scare them for the time being. After a long time, his true face will definitely be revealed again. I have also asked and checked carefully. This platform has a lot of dirty things and is promoted.
The channels are not very good either. Not only are they not good, but their royalties are not very clear in many channels. They are notorious in the circle and have been exposed by many cartoonists one after another. In the end, they spent money to close them together. The methods are quite disgusting."
"Then you can't keep such a platform." Xue Ling made a decision immediately: "Let's go, and we must take away the pseudonym. As for the previous copyright, how to divide it, we will obey the court's judgment at that time.
We all do whatever we need to do.”
Cheng Huanchong said seriously: "Auntie, many authors are afraid of offending the platform and are afraid of offending the rich man without resources in the future, so even if they suffer losses, they can only bear it silently. I hope to fight, no matter whether they win or lose, at least let their peers know.
When it is time to fight for one's own legitimate rights and interests, we must strive for it, and we should not be cowardly or tolerate and give in. We cannot break the law, but the law is not only used to regulate and restrict us, but also protect our various rights."
"It was very well said!" He Miaomiao gave a thumbs up and said confidently: "I am quite confident in this case. First, the people's will not lie with them, but most of them are with the author's side. Second, it is getting more and more popular now.
The more people pay attention to the protection of new media’s works, the more likely they will attract widespread attention after such cases are released.”
After a pause, she added: "No matter whether the lawsuit is a win or a loss, if it can attract the attention of fans or the media, your pseudonym and works will definitely receive a huge and extensive free publicity, which will definitely be of no benefit to you.
One harm.”
"That's it~" Cheng Huanchong smiled embarrassedly and whispered: "I don't care much. For me, painting is my hobby. As long as someone likes to share my works, I have always been there whether it can make a profit.
Don't take it seriously."
"That's because you are too rich!" He Miaomiao teased: "You have too many things under your name. If you come out with a random courtyard, it will be enough for many people to fight for the rest of their lives!"
Cheng Huanchong hehe, hehe smiled embarrassedly.
Xue Ling stopped and said, "Okay, put aside all the ideas of buying and buying before, and follow my aunt's plan."
