Rebirth Online Entertainment

wow, comfortable

Chen Jiayi groaned comfortably.

However, at this time, Mu Wan'er has already rushed to the bathroom, throwing up continuously

After a while, Mu Wan'er came out

"Hmph, you are comfortable, but I am uncomfortable"

After humming, don't forget to say, "Don't think of me doing this kind of thing in the future."

"Good, good, good"

Chen Jia agreed contentedly, but he wouldn't listen even if he was beaten to death.

He was thinking in his heart, in the future, look for opportunities to try a few more times

Leaving aside this matter, Chen Jiayi didn't care too much about Xiaoniao after Xiaoniao Keke got on the right track.

At this time, he was still staying at home, accompanying Mu Wan'er.

If it wasn't for Chen Jiayi not wanting to be exposed, I'm afraid Chen Jiayi would have to be awarded the title of the best man in history

However, staying at home a lot of time will also talk

Most of the time, Chen Jiayi is still surfing the Internet, going to the park, doing sports and so on

As usual, Chen Jiayi walked back from the park with Mu Wan'er, and chatted at night. After Chen Jiayi read it on the Chinese website again, a piece of news about "Forbes' list of the world's richest writers" appeared in the media. front page headlines

This news, Chen Jiayi is very interested, double-click to enter

This is a 2011 list, that is, a data from last year

Ranked No. 1, named James, with an annual income of 8400 million US dollars

However, it has to be said that James is indeed a best-selling author in the United States. Even at his peak, 20 works were shortlisted for best-selling in 2010.

However, after all, he is an American. The kind of suspenseful works he wrote are not very popular in China.

It is said that a publishing house in China published his novels and only sold 1 copies in the whole of China

That's The Complete Forbes List Of The World's Richest Writers

Originally, after Chen Jia finished reading it, he was about to turn it off.

99% of these works, Chen Jiayi has never seen

But when Chen Jiayi turned it off casually, Chen Jiayi suddenly stopped

Hey why, there is no Chen Jiayi in the list of writers

Yes, as a global star, Chen Jiayi has multiple identities. In addition to being a genius in the business world, his other identity is also a writer. Moreover, Chen Jiayi's annual copyright income is not bad Where to go Logically, there should be Chen Jiayi in such a leaderboard

However, Chen Jiayi doesn't really remember his manuscript fees and various copyright income. After all, a lot of money is thrown into Chen Jiayi's pocket every day, and he doesn't even bother to count it. Even if Chen Jiayi is too lazy to count, but probably Chen Jiayi still knows a number

It should be said that I earned more than 1 million U.S. dollars in manuscript fees and various copyright income last year, and besides myself, Rowling and the like should also have this much. However, in this list, there is no such thing as them In other words, Internet writers like Chen Jiayi, including Rowling, have been excluded from the list of writers

The meaning is very simple, that is, this list does not recognize Internet writers as writers

All of a sudden, Chen Jiaben, who was just looking at it for entertainment, became a little angry

Originally, he never thought of himself as a writer. Chen Jiayi thought that the word writer was too lofty. He often called himself a writer, which was bullshit. However, in fact, Chen Jiayi always thought that , whether they are traditional writers or network writers, they are also writers

Moreover, the achievements of Internet writers are no worse than those of traditional writers.

It seems that Internet writers still have to face a series of obstacles

Just like the previous Nobel Prize for Literature, there was also a lot of contradictions

Of course, for a list like Forbes, he probably didn't intentionally block it, he just didn't approve of it. However, Chen Jiayi was really upset that he was modest. It's definitely not what Chen Jiayi wanted.

Immediately, Chen Jiayi took out the phone and dialed Bao Jianfeng

"What do you think of Tingfeng's Forbes list of the world's richest writers?"

Without any detours, Chen Jiayi asked Bao Jianfeng directly

"I think this list is completely entertainment, and many writers on the list don't have so much income. We don't care about this list."

Bao Jianfeng answered directly

"Hehe, Tingfeng, you have to know that you don't need to care anymore, and so can our Internet writers. However, the general public, they don't care anymore. And the meaning of the list is not for writers, nor for The real meaning of the media is to show the general public. Let’s not talk about whether this list is entertainment, even if it is entertainment. Just like the rich list, this is simply a powerful advertisement. The general public only sees it, and they have their own understanding of the level of writers around the world... Such a list, it is not an exaggeration to say that he represents authority Moreover, this is the authoritative list released by Forbes.”

Chen Jiayi talked a lot about the greatness of the list

Then, Chen Jiayi went on to say, "Why did I mention a literary award that is comparable to the Nobel? The answer is the same. It is also to establish a kind of authority. This kind of authority can not only improve my reputation, but at the same time, You can also expand your market.”

"What does Mr. Chen mean, is that we also make a rich list of writers?"

Bao Jianfeng replied weakly

"certainly"

why not

They dare to make a list of the world's richest writers, why can't he make one himself

"By the way, how much was my manuscript fee and copyright income last year?"

Chen Jiayi handed over the manuscript fee and copyright to the operator. Chen Jiayi didn't know how much manuscript fee there was. Immediately, Chen Jiayi asked

"$1 million"

"Wow, not bad not bad"

Hearing that he had so much royalties, Chen Jiayi was a little excited

This kind of income can directly destroy that No. 1

"Where's Rowling?"

Rowling is naturally the author of Harry Potter. Although Chen Jiayi did not know about her income, it is also impossible to reduce her income.

"$3 million"

"what?"

$ 3 billion

I rely on more than myself

Chen Jiayi was really taken aback by this number, and asked again, "Isn't Rowling finished writing Harry Potter 7? Like me, he has no work published in the past year. What's the matter? She has 3 million "

"Mr. Chen, you don't know that although Rowling's seven works are finished, we are an online platform and an electronic platform. Under the influence of electronic and online platforms, people still pay to read his seven works every day, especially on mobile platforms. Under the action, Rowling made a lot of money. In addition, there are ps and the like, all of which have brought a lot of credit to Rowling. Although your novels, Mr. Chen, are well written, there are several All of them are too oriental. In the domestic market, you are definitely No. 7, but in the international market, you only have one novel that ranks No. 1. However, Rowling has 1 books and 7 books that beat you to 7 book, so she just Earn a little more..."

Oh I got it

Only then did Chen Jiayi understand

Come to think of it, novels like Yangshen, Misty Journey, The Romance of the Dragon and Snake, Jade Immortal... Although they are classics, they are still completely oriental novels. I am getting more and more familiar with oriental culture, but this understanding is impossible to have a complete understanding. Therefore, Chen Jiayi's income from manuscript fees is naturally lower than that of Ms. Rowling when the genre does not satisfy the market.

However, anyway

Myself and Rowling, just being two internet writers, can match the combined income of their total list

This has proved that the success of network writers

"Great, I think we should take this opportunity to release a ranking of the world's Internet writers for Forbes and people around the world to see which ranking is the most powerful"

If the literary award is too young, although his evaluation criteria are the number of books sold and his influence on major platforms, in the final analysis he did not actually write on it and there are a lot of Chinese Internet writers leaderboard out

In this list, the unit is RMB and the unit is US dollar.

Presumably, many people can't understand the data such as sales, but anyone can know how much the money is

Moreover, after having money, then he has a more intuitive comparison

Whether traditional writers are good or Internet writers are good in the past, no one can compare. Some people say that Internet literature is too badly written, the writing style is too bad, and the three views are not correct. Now, all of them are ok under the movement of the commodity market. , money can be used as a touchstone of horizontal things

You will know who is lower and who is higher

"Ok"

Hearing Chen Jiayi's order to Bao Jianfeng, he agreed immediately, but soon he hesitated and said, "Well, Mr. Chen, it's too far-fetched for us to announce this list."

What the list requires is fairness. If you make the list yourself, you will be criticized by others.

In fact, the previous literary awards should also take this into consideration.

"You're right, but it's also very simple. Since Forbes has made a list of the world's richest writers, I think Fortune Magazine is also very interested in publishing a list of the world's Internet writers."

"Thank you Mr. Chen, Chen understands."

Fortune and Forbes are two magazines that are themselves competitors

Since it is inconvenient for me to go out, it would be better to call someone else.

After hanging up the phone, Bao Jianfeng followed Chen Jiayi's instructions and contacted Fortune magazine

The American Fortune magazine is a world-renowned magazine, and its list of the world's top 500 companies has always been talked about by all countries in the world

Probably both parties are very satisfied with this cooperation. As soon as Bao Jianfeng opened his mouth, Fortune agreed and directly said that, no surprise, they will appear on the list in the 1322th issue of Fortune in half a month. With such a speed, Bao Jianfeng is very satisfied

In his mind, perhaps, Fortune Magazine, they also want to make such a list. Moreover, from the ranking of the list to the list of Chinese Internet writers, it is definitely a slap in the face of Forbes' list of the world's richest writers. Such a good opportunity, Fortune magazine can't ask for it

Of course, before Fortune magazine was released, Chen Jiayi was not idle either.

For this list from Forbes, Chen Jiayi directly expressed contempt

Chen Jiayi wrote on Weibo, "Yesterday the webmaster told me that my income from royalties had reached 1 million US dollars. Hearing this figure, I was shocked, but I just thought, why am I so high?" Income from royalties, but not on the list of Forbes' richest writers?"

Then, the following is the copyright evidence posted by Chen Jiayi, as well as the tax payment form

There are pictures and the truth, Chen Jiayi's income from royalties last year did reach 1 million US dollars

As soon as such a Weibo came out, it instantly became a hot spot in the market

Originally, as soon as the Forbes list of the world's richest writers came out these days, many media had already started commenting, but I didn't want to. The royalties of the truth, look at the income of 1 million US dollars

So what is the Forbes list of the world's richest writers, do they still have the face to survive?

Moreover, you also need to know that Chen Jiayi has not written a book in recent years

But even if he did not write a book, he still received so much royalties. If he wrote another novel today, I am afraid that the total income of all writers on the Forbes list would not be as high as Chen Jia one by one. more personal

Could it be that this is the hostility of traditional writers?

Isn't Chen Jiayi a writer?

Could it be that Chen Jiayi's 1 million was fake?

I really don't know if this Forbes list has his fairness

Of course, at this time, some people began to speculate

It is estimated that Chen Jiayi rejected the Nobel Prize for Literature before, and then began to encounter hostility from these traditional institutions. If it wasn't for this, they would not be able to regard Chen Jiayi's existence. just really disappointed

Originally, the list should have his fairness. Although the series of lists released by Forbes before can not be said to be 100% fair, most of them are still good. However, in the list of the richest writers in the world, he has committed the biggest He made such a mistake that even Chen Jia's annual income of more than 1 million U.S. dollars in royalties did not take it into account?

All of a sudden, under the forwarding of hundreds of millions of netizens, Forbes' list of the richest writers has been questioned like never before.

After counting people, they began to yell at Forbes, yelling at Forbes for this list

Someone also said with a smile, maybe Forbes just wanted to make a joke for everyone.

yes that's it

When you see Chen Jiayi's Weibo message, you will feel that this is definitely the funniest joke

Facing the pressure from the outside world, Forbes magazine came forward to explain the next day

He said that this list only included traditional literary writers, that is, writers who earn income from paper books. As for online writers, they did not take them into consideration. If necessary, they will consider joining online writers in the future.

However, even so, many friends around the world are not very satisfied with his explanation

Some people said, since you didn't join the network writers, why didn't you explain

Don't you think that Internet writers are not writers?
