After rebirth, she first killed the book thief, and she was busy writing articles to save people

After Huayu.com went bankrupt, Nanlin.com has been on a roll and has become the leading website for women in China - there is no doubt about that.

If it had not happened a few years later, Jiang Baige might have chosen a long-term contract from the beginning when he had the opportunity to sign a contract with Nanlin.com.

Because as Nanlin.com's status rises in the future, its signing threshold will continue to increase, and long-term contracts mean sincerity and loyalty, which can get more recommendations and exposure.

But she chose to terminate the contract within five years from the very beginning, because she was also aware that the era of free articles would soon emerge.

Although the debates about paid and free, online and other forms of literature have never stopped, Jiang Baige, as a reader and author, also has his own opinions, but there is only one thing that everyone has to accept, that is, as the "low end" of the entire industry chain, neither readers nor authors actually have much choice.

Wherever capital flows, there will be a lot of bustle, and the people who are bustling are those who manipulate the capital. Those who are manipulated can only fly along with it, or be abandoned and become waste.

If she were the boss of Nanlin.com, she might be able to express some profound insights or fight for something.

But as a small author who has not been able to become a top author on Nanlin.com in three years, since she already knows that there will be new trends in the future, how can she be willing to sink?

What sank was not Nanlin.com, nor the payment system, nor even the top authors with a solid fan base and outstanding ability to make money, but rather these mediocre authors.

She had to find a way to survive.

But the problem is time. It is 18 now, and free writing has not yet fully taken off. If she does not renew the contract now, she will lose this income in the next few years...

Who could bear this? She couldn't.

So her plan is to renew it for another five years. In this way, although it may overlap slightly with the most suitable time to enter the free text, as long as she registers a small account and does some operations, it can be regarded as a "best of both worlds" solution.

But the problem is, the news about the article that the editor mentioned before being included in the "package set" to sell film and television rights has come back: not only was the article sold, it was sold for six figures.

Although the first digit is not large, it is definitely a huge sum of money for Jiang Baige, who starved to death while writing in her previous life.

What's more, she is still a student.

Selling film and television copyrights is the ultimate dream of many writers - she did it!

Moreover, if she can sell it for this price, you can imagine that if someone really comes to buy the copyright of one of her books one day, this price...

For the first time, she realized how powerful Nanlin.com was in selling copyrights. No wonder many people who grew up reading novels on Nanlin.com in their previous lives still wanted to fight against Nanlin.com when they became authors and free writing became the norm.

The temptation of paid articles is small, but the temptation of selling copyrights is irresistible.

The editor quickly sent the copyright contract and, as expected, mentioned the renewal of the contract.

In Zhou Zhou's opinion, Jiang Baige's contract renewal is a foregone conclusion.

Because among all the authors she has met, only Jiang Baige has been almost unaffected by data and comments, constantly updating, not arguing, insisting on writing, and the intervals between new articles are also very short.

This not only represents Jiang Baige's vigorous creative ability, but also shows another thing: she has an extraordinary passion for this matter.

That's why she can ignore the outside voices and focus on what she is doing: she writes for herself.

So when others were pursuing hot topics and writing about whatever made money, she chose to write about the absolute heroine, which has only started to pick up slightly in the past two years. Of course, she was also confused, and the small account that wrote sweet stories was a compromise, but she failed.

Her failure was not the article, but the act of "compromise": she could not cater to values ​​​​she did not agree with in order to make money.

That sweet article even went off track for a while...

Zhou Zhou could tell that the "blackened" male protagonist was the kind of male protagonist that Jiang Baige could really write about, as for the affectionate, dark, and loyal to the female protagonist, she guessed that Jiang Baige was cursing "bah" in his mind while writing about it.

So after that sweet article, even though the novel's statistics were quite good, she didn't continue writing that column.

On the contrary, she has completed the second column for the article about the heroine killing her father, which was not very popular at the beginning.

So what she wanted to discuss with Jiang Baige was not whether to renew the contract, but whether to change the short-term contract into a long-term contract.

But to her surprise, Jiang Baige’s reply was that she hadn’t thought about it yet.

Editor Zhou Zhou: [You may not want to continue writing online articles? However, you have worked so hard for so long, and finally made progress this year... Your writing speed and quality are very suitable for writing online articles, and your progress is obvious to all. I know that it is impossible for an author to be liked by all readers, but now more and more readers recognize you. Wouldn't it be a pity to give up just like that? ]

She rarely typed so many words at once, but this time she was really shocked.

In her mind, she had other guesses, so she said it directly: [Mrs. Xile, I would like to ask, are there other websites that want to sign you? If so, please tell me the other party's conditions, and I will talk to the team leader... maybe I can get you a guaranteed price.]

Minimum price?

Jiang Baige was a little surprised: It turns out that Nanlin.com also has a guarantee?

No, she has always known that all websites have a guaranteed minimum, but in the era of paid writing, the guarantee is only given to resident writers like Linlang, and Jiang Baige doesn't even have a long-term contract.

Her heart skipped a beat.

This is just... too tempting.

Seeing that she didn't reply immediately, Zhou Zhou continued: [I know that you have only been writing on our website for five years, so it may not be easy to sign a contract, but we can also try to apply. Even if it doesn't work, at least I can guarantee that after you renew your contract, your recommended positions will only increase, not decrease.]

This was very sincere, and Jiang Baige also believed that Zhou Zhou could do it. When she was still a young author, Zhou Zhou never forgot to remind her of the application time for each list.

For Jiang Baige, who had experienced the collapse of a website and unreliable editors in her previous life, she was already very grateful.

But gratitude cannot be eaten, and she is also an ordinary woman who needs to support her family.

Jiang Baige: [Thank you, editor! But I am indeed facing a fork in the road for the future. In the past five years, I have seen too many talented authors ascend, and I have only recently started to make some progress. If I really don’t have the ability to make a living, I think there is no need to continue to work hard. Taking advantage of this node when I am about to graduate, I also want to think about this matter carefully...]

Zhou Zhou understood Jiang Baige's concerns and did not press her further, but asked her to think about it carefully.

After all, there are still a few months before the contract renewal.
