Chapter 743: Pirated articles appear on the Internet
It turns out that the novel has about 60,000 words, and some plots in it need to be revised, such as the hero and heroine going to see "Tichnic" together - it has not been released yet.
Simple, just change it to "The Love between Humans and Ghosts". The film was introduced as a top ten film last year.
Also in the novel, the scoundrel Cai, a science guy, discussed fluid mechanics with Qingwu Feiyang, which Fang Minghua had long forgotten.
But it doesn’t matter. After logging into the Shuimu Tsinghua website, Fang Minghua made a post, and soon enthusiastic people posted below to learn more about him.
It was just that the large number of formulas made him dizzy.
It took about ten days to complete this novel. Compared with the original novel, it has more than 5,000 words. It mainly enriches the images of the two protagonists, the ruffian Cai and Qingwu Feiyang. From a literary perspective, It looks a little thin.
After the novel is completed, the first reader of the novel is usually his daughter-in-law Song Tangtang. But now that Song Tangtang is still in Yanjing and has not returned, Fang Minghua sent it to Li Li in San Francisco via email.
Just one day later, Fang Minghua received a call from Li Li.
"Wow Minghua, you actually wrote such an innocent novel. The love story between the ruffian Cai and Qingwu Feiyang is so touching. It made me, a middle-aged woman, cry when I read it."
"Middle-aged woman? Why do you call yourself that? Did you learn it from Tangtang?" Fang Minghua asked.
"Hee hee. You are already old."
"What nonsense, you are very young. In my heart, you will always be the one wearing a white shirt and a blue suspender skirt on the Western University campus. A girl who reads poetry!" Fang Minghua said.
“What about my cousin?”
“She will always be the girl wearing the 65-style military uniform dancing under the moon in southern Xinjiang!”
"Oh, it's so romantic, Minghua, you wrote this novel, and I found that your mouth has become sweeter."
"Hehe. Do you like it?
"Yes, I like it. "
The two joked a little on the phone and returned to this topic.
"Minghua, do you want this novel to be published in the United States? "Li Li asked.
"Not yet, I plan to publish it on the Shengshi Book Office website." Fang Minghua briefly explained the basic situation of the Banyan Tree website.
“I’d better translate it into English, or publish it on the American literature website ElectricLiterature’sRecommendedReading.” Li Li put forward her own opinion.
"You still translate? Your task now is to have a good rest! You are not allowed to substitute as a teacher next semester." Fang Minghua said in a serious tone.
"It's okay. Didn't I just take a pregnancy test last week? I also showed you the report. Everything is fine. It's so uncomfortable to spend a day at home doing nothing during the summer vacation."< br>
“I’ll come with you.”
"No. You have to take care of two children, and my cousin is busy with work." Li Li advised on the phone.
"I will come over when the baby is born."
"Let's talk about it then."
The two chatted for a while before hanging up the phone.
Fang Minghua then sent this novel via email to the submission mailbox under the banyan tree, but instead of using his current pen name, he changed it to a very domineering online name: Guanzhong Swordsman.
Before I came to this era, I often used this screen name when I went to bars in Tianya Community.
Call Dai Jiali again to explain the situation.
"Great, we will upload your novel right away! Well, we will not upload it all at once, but in the form of a series, uploading two to three thousand words every day!"
"Okay, I'll give you the manuscript. It’s up to you.” Fang Minghua said with a smile.
Perhaps, will I become the first author in this era to publish a novel in serial form on the Internet?
Fang Minghua thought to himself.
Soon, under the banyan tree, "The First Intimate Contact" was published in the most conspicuous place on the website, with a chapter of about 3,000 words per day.
Chen Wanning, who is in charge of website operation, found that the number of visits to the website suddenly began to increase compared with usual times. Originally, there were only a few dozen visits a day, but now it suddenly exceeded a hundred, and most of them clicked on the novel and visited it every day. The volume is also gradually increasing.
Wow. Get up!
The number of visits today has reached 500!
Chen Wanning was ecstatic. After work, he also browsed other literary websites online, mainly BBSs from major universities, among which Shuimu Tsinghua University was the most visited.
When he logged in and saw the hot posts on the forum, he was shocked.
It turned out to be the article "The First Intimate Contact" written by Fang Minghua.
Holy shit!
Piracy!
And the latest chapter published yesterday appeared on Shuimu Tsinghua’s BBS today, followed by a lot of comments, all of which were comments on the novel.
Words of praise are beyond words.
Chen Wanning felt that the situation was serious and immediately reported the matter to Dai Jiali.
“We should make a stern protest to the moderator ace of Shuimu Tsinghua University and ask him to delete the post immediately! Otherwise, let the company’s legal department sue them for copyright infringement!” Chen Wanning put forward his own opinion.
Dai Jiali didn't answer.
If there were pirated copies of Shengshi Books on the market, she would have already asked personnel from the company's legal department to negotiate.
Although piracy is very rampant in this era, after suing several infringing publishing houses, at least the pirates are not as blatant as they are in pirating books from other publishing houses.
But novels on the Internet.
Dai Jiali pondered for a moment and said: "Otherwise, I will call Teacher Minghua and tell him about the situation."
"Okay."
Dai Jiali returned to his office and dialed Fang Minghua's number.
At this time, Fang Minghua was also surfing the Internet, browsing the Shuimu Tsinghua Forum. Of course, he discovered that his novel had been pirated.
Hmm. There are quite a few comments, all of which are complimentary.
Fang Minghua used his own account to say something below the text like a prank: "Speaking of which, the writing is very ordinary. It's not so licking, right?"
As a result, there were replies immediately below the post.
"Very average? If you have the ability, why don't you write?"
"That's right. Do you understand literature?"
"Hey, which department are you from? Dare you stay? Can you tell me the name of the dormitory? I’ll go find you and discuss things with you! I’m XXX from the History Department.”
Fang Minghua quickly closed the post after seeing the constant comments.
Fortunately, there is no legal human flesh search now, otherwise will human flesh really appear?
At this moment, the landline rang. Fang Minghua picked up the phone and it was Dai Jiali. On the phone, Dai Jiali told him about the piracy of the article.
"Haha. I'm watching it at Shuimu Tsinghua University." Fang Minghua said with a smile.
"Then, Teacher Minghua, what do you think we should do? According to the company's past regulations, we will ask the other party to delete the post, and if necessary, ask for an apology and compensation for losses."
Fang Minghua pondered for a moment. : "Forget it, everyone is in the early stages of development. For traffic, you can make requests to the moderators of Shuimu Tsinghua University."
"What are the requirements?"
"First: It can be reprinted, but it must be stated that it is reprinted from under the banyan tree. Second, the latest chapter of the novel that appears on their BBS must be three days later than under the banyan tree, ensuring that the banyan tree "Teacher Minghua, this is a good idea. We will negotiate with the moderator of Shuimu Tsinghua University immediately!"
Within two days, the moderator of Shuimu Tsinghua University accepted it! In response to the request of Shengshi Film and Television, the novel "First Intimate Contact" became popular in Shuimu Tsinghua University and Banyan Tree.
Some people were moved to tears by the love story in the novel.
Some are also curious about who the author of Guanzhong Swordsman is?
Of course, more young literary people have an impulse to write after reading this novel.
Lijie from Ningbo, Zhejiang Province is such a girl.
