Wang Defu didn't want to sign a contract for selling his body casually. After all, this capitalist Chinese empire is relatively complete in all aspects of the law, including intellectual copyright. He did not want the copyright of his works to be controlled by other capitals, but hoped to take them all in his own hands.

After all, Wang Defu is not the kind of business writer who can only rely on words to make a living. Compared with those business writers, he is not a type of literati. The latter is really too reliant on the platform. Perhaps he is more famous in a certain novel magazine, but when he writes it in another magazine, there is no readers or the past.

Wang Defu is obviously not a writer who relies heavily on the platform. He has his own traffic. The three words "Wang Defu" appear in any newspaper or magazine. For his admirers, they can't help but chase his traces.

Therefore, even Hang Shuitao, a senior editor of Novel Monthly, invited Wang Defu so sincerely, and ordinary business writers who met with senior editors like Hang Shuitao were a little embarrassed and hoped to have a good relationship with him.

Although Hang Shuitao did not successfully invite Wang Defu this time, he also successfully made friends with Wang Defu. The two maintained correspondence with each other. He even took the initiative to come to Suzhou and directly invited Wang Defu to dinner, expressing his sincerity with the magazine "Novel Monthly".

Of course, Wang Defu couldn't really let Hang Shuitao invite him to dinner. As a local in Suzhou, he must do his best to be a landlord. Besides, he now has no problem with his generous royalties to treat guests to dinner.

Fortunately, Hang Shuitao is not a female editor, otherwise he would have fallen in love with a literary star like Wang Defu with a top-notch appearance, extraordinary talent and outstanding conversation at first sight, regardless of whether he is in a relationship or not.

This is probably like the beauty among women. Even if you know that she is very scumbag and messy, there are all kinds of men around you, but the men who like her will still continue to follow.

Ling Jingsu is actually such a woman. Only after she met Wang Defu did she restrain her style of attracting men to fly into the fire. Otherwise, there would never be a shortage of men who came to her. Often, as long as she attended a party, a banquet, or something, there would be various men who needed to contact us.

For women, as long as she does not refuse completely and always shows herself as if she is single, it will easily make the men who pursue her have fantasies, and they just feel that if they try harder, they will definitely be able to hold the beauty, but in the end they are cruel. In the process of pursuing, they fall deeper and deeper, and then are moved to death by themselves, but in the end they have nothing.

But women can still act as if they are not right, as if she is not wrong with anything. She has already expressed mercy without completely rejecting it from the beginning.

However, when a woman truly meets a man she is moved, how could she bear to let the man pursue him? Maybe those who are bolder will chase him directly.

In short, Hang Shuitao became friends with Wang Defu in his sincere visit and Wang Defu's sincerity, which laid the groundwork for the cooperation between the two in the future.

Hang Shuitao also told Wang Defu that if Wang Defu comes to the Demon City in the future, he will definitely do his best to treat Wang Defu as a landlord.

For a senior editor like Hang Shuitao, his salary is also generous enough, and every time he finds a red article, he also gets a considerable commission.

It was the good relationship between the two that Wang Defu recommended the work "Dragon Head" to Hang Shuitao. He didn't want Hang Shuitao to give this work some generous treatment or tricks like unspoken rules, but he just hoped that this work would be treated more fairly.

Wang Defu has no hint at all that the real creator of "Dragon Head" is himself, because he thinks that if Hang Shuitao really knows such a fact, perhaps other works that compete for the "Demon City Popular Novel Awards" will suffer unfair treatment.

Wang Defu is indeed an idealist in this regard. He always hopes that everyone can evaluate each work more objectively and impartially, and not be influenced by the author's own fame.

However, his hope is indeed unrealistic. If the level difference is large, you can intuitively judge who is better and who is bad. But if the level difference is small, it really depends on your personal preferences, and of course it also depends on the reputation of the author himself. The greater the level difference, the more you learn, you will get extra points.

As a member of the "Demon City Popular Novel Awards" award committee, in his mind, the status of this novel award is much higher than that of the "Zhang Yuanji New Writer Awards".

Because this award is indeed facing almost all popular novel writers in the literary world of the Magic City. Of course, those popular novel writers who have won this great bounty award will definitely not be shameless to participate in this award.

If you can continue to win the gold medal, it would be fine, at least it will maintain the dignity of a senior writer, but it will not have much effect on the growth of famous popular novel writers, and its relatively generous bonus will not be very attractive to famous popular novel writers.

Therefore, it is thankless to become famous popular novel writers and participate in this novel award. After all, who says that the works of famous popular novel writers must be better than those popular novel writers who are not yet famous but have strong strength?

Therefore, the authors participating in this novel award are basically those popular novel writers who are not very famous but have absolute strength, which makes this novel award very valuable.

Every year, the gold award of the "Demon City Popular Novel Award" can be sold well and won the love of many readers. This undoubtedly proves the value of this novel award from the perspective of the novel award. Readers obviously also highly recognize this novel award.

Compared with this "Demon City Popular Novel Award", the "Zhang Yuanji New Writer Award" seems to be insufficient. After all, the former's gold medal winner can be sold for a while, while the latter can only have an opportunity to publish short stories in "Novel Monthly".

This year's "Demon City Popular Novel Awards", Hang Shuitao, a senior editor who has no new author in his eyes, is undoubtedly the "Beauty of the Conqueror" by Chang Hsiao, and Xu Tianxiao's "Love of the Demon City". If nothing unexpected happens, the gold medal should have been born in these two works.
