Li Xue still treated everyone to a late-night snack.

The night after military training ended.

Li Xue then suggested treating the whole class to a late-night snack.

However, Luo Lu, who was elected as the class monitor, declined the offer.

He said that since everyone is a classmate, there's no need for one person to spend so much money; it's better to split the bill.

Chen Yang gave Luo Lu a slight compliment.

As expected of the class monitor, he has a very broad perspective.

"This skewer is delicious."

"this is for you."

"I like to eat cartilage; it's so satisfying to chew on it."

After 15 days of military training.

I've gotten to know my classmates a little better.

The atmosphere is wonderful when we're enjoying some skewers right now.

Everyone sat together, chatting and talking about their dreams.

One of the female classmates said she liked writing poetry.

Some people say they like writing essays.

There was also a female student named "Li Hanxiao" who said she was writing a novel.

But if you ask her what she wrote, she will never tell you, no matter what.

Chen Yang joked from the side, "You're not writing a BL novel, are you?"

Li Hanxiao stared in disbelief: "How did you know?"

Then a group of students asked what BL (Boys' Love) was.

Chen Yang coughed and said... it's just a type of novel.

He didn't know what it was specifically.

However, after Chen Yang mentioned BL (Boys' Love), Li Hanxiao blushed and became quite embarrassed.

And she secretly told Chen Yang, "You can't tell anyone."

Chen Yang nodded: "Don't worry, I don't read BL novels. Actually, I prefer harem novels."

"Harem...tsk tsk, what a scumbag."

Chen Yang chuckled.

Just because you read a harem novel doesn't mean you're a scumbag.

Let me tell you, what do you become if I watch educational videos every day?

However, Li Hanxiao secretly told Chen Yang, "Don't worry, I'm also a scumbag woman, and a yaoi fangirl too."

This was just a minor incident.

Everyone chatted and laughed, and they were all very happy.

……

After the military training ended, Aurora University held a welcome party for the new students.

Originally, this welcome party was no different from those of other schools.

However, at this welcome party, Li Hanxiao from the class sang "Ode to Young China".

Once this video was exposed in the media, it unexpectedly went viral.

no way.

Although Chen Yang's popularity has decreased these days.

But it still gets a lot of attention whenever it's mentioned.

In addition, the song "Ode to Young China" is so well-written that it would be popular no matter who sang it.

There is another, even more important reason.

Li Hanxiao, like Chen Yang, is a college student.

College students are singing "Ode to Young China," and it's a female version again.

A fusion of nature and heat.

It is said.

After Li Hanxiao sang "Ode to Young China," several talent agencies approached her to sign contracts.

Chen Yang also thought Li Hanxiao sang very well.

Although she is a girl.

But Li Hanxiao sang with a unique masculine spirit.

Chen Yang is really strange.

Isn't this little girl a fujoshi who writes BL (Boys' Love) novels? How come she sings with such a powerful voice?

……

There's news from the Shanghai Writers Association.

Some time ago, Chen Yang filled out a membership form at the recommendation of Qidian.com.

The latest membership list has been released in the last few days.

Chen Yang has officially joined the Shanghai Writers Association.

Furthermore, the Shanghai Writers Association issued Chen Yang a certificate from the Writers Association.

They also asked Chen Yang to attend a meeting during his weekends so that everyone could get to know each other.

Chen Yang agreed.

Saturday.

Chen Yang went to the Shanghai Writers Association.

At the meeting.

Chen Yang ran into Wang Yu.

Wang Yu was very happy and said, "Chen Yang, we meet again."

Chen Yang was also a little surprised: "Are you also from the Shanghai Writers Association?"

Wang Yu said with a smile, "I'm still a director here, little member, so you have to listen to me."

It's clear that Wang Yu knew about Chen Yang before she arrived.

But think about it.

Wang Yu is a television host.

However, many hosts have good writing skills, and many hosts and reporters are also writers, so it is normal for them to join the Writers Association.

The meeting was simple.

Chen Yang simply got to know the members, directors, president, and vice president of the association.

Then Chen Yang briefly introduced his basic information.

Then they left.

However, while Chen Yang was leaving, the council members of the Shanghai Writers Association continued their meeting.

"Fellow board members, what are your thoughts on Chen Yang, our newest online writer this year?"

"I think the media is overhyping it. I took a look today and it seems pretty ordinary."

"Yes, it caused quite a stir across the country a while ago. The media these days really believe everything they hear. At the time, I thought some Chinese writer had won the Nobel Prize in Literature. I also know a bit about online literature, and I think most of it isn't very good. It's still quite an achievement that the little guy was able to get into Aurora University."

"It's commendable that he was able to get published in Aurora. But I think his status as an online novelist is just so-so. I also think that online novels are all second-rate works. I've read a few, and they're all about killing, cultivation... and a lot of pornography."

Many of the board members are traditional writers.

Their views on online literature are basically the same.

However, Wang Yu then said, "We can't say that. We can't look at new things with outdated perspectives. Online literature is developing very rapidly now. Many young people like to read it, the market is huge, and the impact is even greater. If it weren't for its huge impact, the media wouldn't have reacted so strongly. In addition, I talked to the editor-in-chief of Qidian.com, and he revealed to me that the monthly royalties of some top online writers are basically over 10 yuan. In the future, it will be even higher."

Wang Yu was also one of the media representatives.

Although the interview with Chen Yang took place later, it was very clear at the time.

For her.

Chen Yang can make the media go crazy.

Besides the college entrance examination, Aurora University, and other popular terms,

The influence of online literature has played a significant role in this.

In addition to Han Han and Guo Jingming... this genius writer was even more formidable than them at this time.

If the media hadn't reacted at the time, they wouldn't be the media.

"10 a month?"

This said.

Several members of the traditional writers' council were dumbfounded: "Impossible."

"This is just their online royalties. If you include publishing and other income, it's much more. Take Chen Yang for example, his book 'The Vast World' has reportedly sold 50 copies. He received 100 million yuan in royalties. Adding his electronic royalties, his income this year will easily exceed 200 million yuan."

"200."

This number is too glaring.

Let alone 07.

Even if we look at it in 17 or 27.

Earning over 200 million yuan in royalties in a year is a very large number.

Not to mention, for traditional writers.

to be frank.

Traditional writers don't really receive much in royalties.

In the past, when magazines and newspapers were more prosperous, many people wrote articles for magazines and could earn some royalties.

But now magazine and newspaper sales have plummeted.

Often they can't even publish a few articles a month.

The royalties I received were only a few hundred yuan.

Some writers don't even publish more than a few articles a year.

When they heard that Chen Yang earned 200 million yuan a year in royalties... their eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.

"Teacher Wang Yu, is this real or fake?"

"Of course it's true. I checked with the tax authorities in Shanghai. They confirmed that this number exists. In fact, there might be even more."

"I……"

Money is a vulgar thing.

But no one can ignore him.

Moreover, traditional writers who have always lived in poverty.

On the one hand, they say they won't bow down for five pecks of rice.

But actually.

A whole bunch of them were all for the sake of five pecks of rice.

That's normal, of course.

Humans live in the mundane world. We need to eat, we need to drink... everything costs money.

If they previously looked down on these online novel authors...

Hearing that these online novelists easily earn over a million or two million a year, it would be a lie to say I'm not envious.

"Ahem... So, in that case, could we try online writing?"

"I think it's fine. It's just a change of venue. We used to write for magazines and newspapers, now we're putting it online. With our writing skills, how could we possibly write anything bad?"

"Yes. If those online novels written in such a simple style can make money, we can definitely surpass them if we write online."

"Try?"

"Just try it."

Don't say it yet.

Several board members are indeed planning to try it out online.

"Alright, that concludes this meeting. Chen Yang is among the first batch of online writers recruited by our Shanghai Writers Association, and we may recruit more in the future. I hope everyone will learn from the strengths of online writers, complement each other's weaknesses, and exchange ideas more often in the future."

The president then adjourned the meeting.

……

"Chen Yang, you haven't gone back yet, have you?"

"Not yet, I'm about to take the subway."

"Wait a moment, I'll give you a ride back."

"Row."

After a few minutes.

A Volkswagen pulled up next to Chen Yang.

Upon closer inspection, it was indeed Wang Yu.

"Get in the car."

"Thanks."

Chen Yang didn't stand on ceremony.

At this time, Shanghai was not too congested, so driving was relatively convenient.

"After you left, do you know what we were talking about in the meeting?"

"What to talk about?"

"Let's talk about the income of you online novelists."

"Uh... what's there to talk about?"

"It's so interesting. As soon as I mentioned that your monthly royalties exceeded 10, everyone was drooling."

"No way, I don't earn more than 10 yuan a month in royalties."

Last month was the closest.

But the royalties were only a little over 9 yuan, not even reaching 10 yuan.

However, Wang Yu said, "Chen Yang, don't be modest. You also have publishing income. All in all, your monthly royalties are not just 10, but 20... To be honest, even I, as a host, am very envious."

"How about we switch?"

"Really? Then I'll switch with you right now."

"Teacher Wang Yu, please stop teasing me."

"I'm not kidding. I actually did write some, but it didn't turn out well. Later I heard that writing online novels requires daily updates and you can't stop updating, so I stopped writing."

"Yes, online novels really can't be stopped updating. If they are, the data will be greatly affected."

The two chatted for a while.

Soon we arrived in Cinta.

……

September is a busy month at school.

However, Chen Yang knows how to seize the time to write.

For example, during the lunch break.

Chen Yang usually brings his computer to the library to write.

After spending a few days with his roommates, Chen Yang said he had rented a place outside and moved out.

Occasionally, Chen Yang would return to the dormitory to catch up with his roommates.

Since many university classes weren't that important, Chen Yang had plenty of time to slack off.

This also meant that Chen Yang was unable to maintain a daily output of 1 words for a period of time.

But even with 6000 words a day, I can still manage 8000-10000 words on weekends.

However, this month.

Chen Yang is not without challengers.

Z, who previously created the Infinite Flow genre, is showing great momentum on the overall monthly rankings this time.

There's also the stellar transformation of tomatoes.

Subscriptions have been excellent since its release.

But a pity.

Chen Yang's "The Vast World" is definitely superior to theirs.

No matter how many updates Z and Tomato release every day.

The title of number one in monthly votes has always belonged to Chen Yang.

At the same time, Chen Yang's equalization.

At this point, the number reached 15500.
On the same day that the average number of views reached 15500, Chen Yang received a recommendation text message in the background.

Congratulations on your work being featured on the homepage! Please keep updating.

Chen Yang knew.

This is the second time this has been featured on Twitter.

In 07, there were very few works on Qidian that received a second featured recommendation.

……

"I can easily handle a little online novel."

The Shanghai Writers Association has finished its meeting.

Director Zhang Yuanping returned home.

He's been feeling down lately.

The main problem is that none of the articles he submitted recently have been accepted.

Finally, feeling rather embarrassed, I contacted several editors-in-chief of the internal publications before I was able to get the articles published.

This made Zhang Yuanping, a director of the Shanghai Writers Association, lose face.

After all, he didn't have any major works to his name, nor did he earn much in royalties.

Such a glamorous exterior hides nothing of substance.

Today's meeting gave Zhang Yuanping something to think about.

It's just an online article.

He registered an account on Tianya.cn in 2000 and published poems and essays there.

It has won the hearts of many people.

He later wrote a novel.

He was busy at work at that time and didn't have time to update.

If he has time.

Who knows, he might be the next Mingyue of yesteryear.

Yes.

He was actually quite envious of Mingyue back then.

He considers Dangnian Mingyue's "Those Things of the Ming Dynasty" to be quite mediocre.

If he were to write it, he would portray the Ming Dynasty in an even more captivating way.

This year, his workplace isn't busy, so he has more free time.

This time, he didn't go to Tianya.cn, but went to Qidian.com instead.

Because of Chen Yang, a new member who joined today, he said he was at the starting point.

He also mentioned that Qidian has a VIP reading mode.

The published articles require readers to pay to read them.

As long as someone pays to read it, there will be royalties.

He also thought this model was very good.

If I were to write it myself.

A lot of people will definitely pay for it.

to this end.

He also registered a writer account on Qidian.com.

I didn't think too much about it.

He soon created a new book: "That Autumn Rain".

Then he opened the keyboard and started typing away.

He has great inspiration.

I wrote 5000 words in one day.

Released.

I posted 5000 words that day.

The next day, he was still in high spirits and wrote another 5000 words.

It can last for several days in a row.

He discovered that his book review section had no readers at all.

This made him very depressed.

what happened?

Could it be that my writing is bad?

Until a few days later.

at last.

A reader visited his book review section and left a comment.

Zhang Yuanping was very pleased.

Click to take a look.

All I saw was a single line of text: "Garbage, what kind of nonsense is this?"
