Reborn, I achieved legendary status with a single book.

Chapter 128 This annual meeting felt incredibly energetic.

That night, Chen Yang chatted late with a group of top authors from Qidian.com.

Day two.

The Qidian Annual Meeting has officially begun.

Compared to last year.

This year's Qidian Annual Meeting was much more lively.

In addition to a host of top-tier artists taking the stage, this year's annual meeting also featured a number of character posters.

Take a closer look.

You will see.

These posters feature classic and popular characters from various works.

Like Zhou Qing in the story of Buddha who is originally a Taoist.

Chen Nan in the Tomb of the Gods.

Yang Ling and Han Youniang in the novel "Back to the Ming Dynasty".

of course.

And we can't forget Ye Chen from the vast world.

The appearance of these character posters immediately ignited the atmosphere of the Qidian annual meeting.

The Qidian Writers Center backend also broadcast the grand occasion of the Qidian Annual Meeting in real time through pictures and text.

"Wow, this year's Qidian annual meeting is no longer just about eating and drinking."

"The top authors on Qidian aren't foodies. Even if they wanted to eat, they couldn't eat all the time. Tsk tsk, these posters are really well drawn."

"Holy crap, who did I just see? I actually saw Chen Beixuan from 'I Come From Billions of Light Years'."

There was a bang.

The appearance of Chen Beixuan.

This made the Qidian Annual Meeting an instant hit.

Everyone knows.

The work "I Come From Billions of Light Years" has been banned.

But no one expected this.

This character actually appeared at the Qidian Annual Meeting.

"Is it possible that the book 'I Come From Billions of Light Years' by the god Bu Yang is about to be unsealed?"

"It may not be able to be unblocked, but this represents Qidian's attitude towards Chen Yang."

"I see it."

Many authors on SkyNet were also quite excited.

of course.

There are also many fans who are paying attention to the Qidian Annual Meeting.

"Brother, your Chen Beixuan is here."

Xu Acai walked up to Chen Beixuan's character poster, took out her camera, and said to Chen Yang, "Brother, take a picture of me."

"Okay."

"Haha, Chen Beixuan is so handsome."

"Am I not handsome, bro?"

"You're handsome too, yes, yes, let's take one together."

The other authors also came over to take photos with Chen Yang and the character Chen Beixuan.

"I'm so envious. So envious."

"These amazing authors are truly incredible; they've brought each character to life."

When these photos were circulated through various means.

The book lovers were also extremely excited.

Especially the photo of Chen Beixuan and Chen Yang together.

Readers who had previously read "I Come From Billions of Light Years Ago" had tears welling up in their eyes.

"I thought I would never see Chen Beixuan again, but I never expected that Chen Beixuan would reappear in another way."

“I’m about to cry. Such a good book back then, and it was banned just like that. If it hadn’t been banned, I believe Chen Beixuan would have had many more stories to tell.”

"Yes, this is the book that made 'Unpopular God' a legendary work. But Qidian (the website's online platform) has a conscience; they haven't forgotten this book."

Chen Yang was also somewhat moved.

Although Chen Beixuan was borrowed from him.

But no matter what.

in this world.

He created this character.

Now that he was standing right in front of him, Chen Yang stroked Chen Beixuan's poster, thinking to himself...

Sooner or later, he will perfectly rewrite Chen Beixuan's life story.

……

According to the annual meeting schedule, Chen Yang found his place at the annual meeting.

This year's annual meeting featured a rather large stage.

Someone will likely give a speech on stage.

really.

After a while.

Editor Gu Yue then said to Chen Yang, "Bu Yang, you'll be the third to speak on stage."

"what."

Chen Yang was a little surprised: "Gu Yue, why are you only telling me now? I wasn't prepared at all."

"They're all top-tier writers, and they still need to prepare. Look at you, you don't even draft your writing, and you still write like this."

"Hahaha, Gu Yue, so you mean I'll just talk nonsense when I go on stage?"

"Sure. Whatever you say, everyone will applaud. Of course, let's talk about things within the industry."

"Okay."

Chen Yang works in this industry.

Although it was a temporary notice.

But as soon as Gu Yue said that, Chen Yang had an idea in his mind.

The first one to take the stage was Baojian, the founder and administrator of Qidian.

Baojian was dressed very formally today. Looking at the group of top-tier authors below the stage, he sighed, "Friends, I was an author just like you all back then. I never imagined that after a few years, I would still be in this industry. We founded Qidian.com, and we are honored to see more and more authors joining our Qidian family. Tang San, Shenji, Chen Dong, Fanqie, Qimaobuyang, Z Da... welcome to all of you."

There was applause.

People also have a fondness for swords.

Although he is considered the owner of Qidian.

But as he said.

Back then, he was just like everyone else—a writer.

"This year is a special year. In this year, Qidian received a 1 million yuan capital injection from Shengda. At the same time, we launched a brand-new writer benefits program. Rest assured, our benefits will continue to grow. Next year, we will launch another major benefit program. We hope that our writer friends can continue to write at Qidian for a long time. And, for this commitment, we will provide substantial financial support."

"We are also very fortunate that Qidian has achieved tremendous growth this year. This growth has been rapid in terms of writers, business operations, and other copyright aspects. Many of Tang San's works have been adapted into comics, in simplified and traditional Chinese. Yueguan's 'Return to the Ming Dynasty' has already secured television and film rights..."

Baojian gave a speech on stage for more than an hour.

It basically talks about the development of Qidian in that year.

Next is the second one.

The second is Dong Xueping, CEO of Shengda Games.

Dong Xueping appeared.

The audience erupted in cheers.

The bigwigs present knew this.

This CEO of Shengda Games isn't just here to ramble on.

"Is Shengda planning a new game?"

"It's possible. Shengda acquired Qidian because they wanted to find a suitable game IP. Back then, they had their eye on Jade Dynasty, but Perfect World snatched it up. Now that Jade Dynasty is so popular, I believe Shengda will definitely choose a suitable game IP at this time."

"In other words, the game IP will be found among a group of online novels on Qidian."

"Very likely."

In fact, that's exactly what happened.

In addition to introducing their situation at the beginning, Dong Xueping also gave a brief introduction to Shengda.

Next, and most importantly.

That is. Shengda will launch a brand new game IP based on online literature this year.

Applause erupted wildly.

"Too much."

"Shengda is finally going to make a big move."

"A boon to online novelists."

The writers at SkyNet were also incredibly excited.

Although they knew it.

Such benefits are not available to them.

but.

This is a good start, isn't it?
And who says it's impossible for it to happen to them?

I'm a complete failure this year.

Will I still be in the same category next year?

Even if it's the same next year, or the year after, or the year after that...

I will continue to stay at the forefront of online literature.

sooner or later.

I will definitely write a masterpiece.

"I wonder which work Sheng will choose."

"I don't know, but I believe that the author will publish any of the selected works."

"It's necessary. I heard that Zhu Xian sold for a huge sum of money."

……

After Dong Xueping, CEO of Shengda Games, finished his speech.

The third is Chen Yang.

When Chen Yang stepped onto the stage.

The atmosphere at the scene was enthusiastic.

On SkyNet, war correspondents are providing real-time text updates on the situation.

"The third person to enter the stage is Bu Yangshen, who is not particularly handsome."

“Bu Yangshen is quite low-key. Last time, when he applied to Aurora University, it caused a national sensation, but he didn’t even show his face.”

"It's only within our small circle that we don't have too many concerns about not extolling the gods."

"Hey everyone, please don't post pictures randomly. I feel that Bu Yangshen is a very low-key person, and he doesn't particularly want to be a celebrity in front of the public."

"Yes, like Guo Jingming, Han Han... Although they are very talented, to be honest, sometimes I feel like they are just celebrities, not writers at all."

"I feel the same way."

Many people can sense Chen Yang's passion for online literature.

If not.

He might not even show up or play.

"Thank you for starting point, thank you everyone."

Although it was his first time on stage, Chen Yang wasn't nervous at all.

The audience was filled with a large group of familiar friends, as well as many senior colleagues.

Chen Yang smiled at everyone as a greeting.

"Gu Yue just told me that I'm the third person to speak. I was a little stunned and didn't know what to say. But seeing everyone here, I feel that it doesn't really matter what I say. I'll just chat with you all here and talk about online novels. As you all know, Qidian.com held a training course in June this year."

"I was a mentor in the training program...it felt pretty good."

Everyone laughed.

Chen Yang laughed and continued, "Actually, I didn't teach much in the training course, but many authors have spread rumors that this training course was all about becoming a god. This puts a lot of pressure on me. If none of the students in this class become gods, I'll really feel bad about it later."

"Of course, that's a joke. The workshop only lasted two days. Afterwards, we went to West Lake for inspiration. Because of my flight, I couldn't go back until the next day. Several of my writer friends, including Xu Acai, Wang Zijun, Dangdang, Thirty-Two, Tiger... they didn't go back either. We went to a teahouse by West Lake, and we talked about online literature and its future."

"Everyone is saying, what will our online literature become in the future?"

“Some say that online literature will be adapted into various IPs in the future. Just as Mr. Dong said, some of our online literature IPs will become games, comics, and TV series. Yes, it’s not a dream, it’s already here. I also said that in the future, our online literature IPs will not only be adapted into various works, but they will also go abroad and enter overseas, allowing foreigners and people from Europe and America to read our online literature.”

The applause was thunderous at that moment.

"I know we're not there yet. But I believe we will be able to do it in the future."

"Finally, let me tell you something interesting. We were chatting about online literature by West Lake when my author friend Xiao Chao said that the West Lake Sword Debate was held here back then. That reminded me that a group of internet bigwigs invited Jin Yong to West Lake to talk about martial arts. However, although they were talking about martial arts, it was the Chinese internet that made it successful."

"To this day, the Chinese internet has undergone tremendous changes. Everyone who participated in the West Lake Forum back then has become a leader in the industry. Jack Ma, Zhang Chaoyang, Wang Zhidong, Ding Lei... these are naturally leaders. We small fry can't compare to them."

"Although we can't compare to them, our dreams are no less ambitious. Maybe we just want to appear cultured. The author Dangdang said, 'Since they held an internet-wide debate on the West Lake, shouldn't we also have a debate today?' We were all very excited when he said that, and we shouted, 'This is the online literature world's debate on the West Lake!'"

Applause erupted once again.

"Damn, this is so exciting!"

"The online debate on West Lake is so beautiful."

"It's such a damn pity. I thought the transportation cost was too high, so I didn't go."

"If I participate, I think I will also be recorded in history."

Everyone present felt incredibly energized.

Xu Acai rubbed her eyes.

She was also a witness to the online debate at West Lake.

She believes it.

The West Lake Sword Debate they talked about back then will surely leave a significant mark on the history of online literature.

"Thank you, thank you everyone."

Chen Yang bowed to the crowd.

"Online literary debates at West Lake, that's really great."

"Baojian, I never expected that Buyangshen would have such a wonderful experience in June."

"Yes, the online novel 'West Lake Sword Debate' sounds incredibly romantic just from the name."

Backstage.

"That's what the staff at Qidian said with a sigh."

……

in the afternoon.

A group of top authors and editors from Qidian.com visited the Shengda Games production center for inspiration.

This arrangement greatly interested a group of top-tier writers.

after all.

In fact, we are all writers.

Most people simply use words to express the story.

But sometimes words are too monotonous.

To transform written stories into works that resonate more deeply with the public and spread wider.

Then he would have to undergo modifications.

Making it into a game is a significant milestone in text adaptation.

"Tsk tsk, this makes me really tempted. I really want to ask Baojian if he has any ideas about adapting my novel into a game."

"Haha, I wanted to ask that too. If my work is adapted into a game, I can get less royalties."

"What do you mean, take less? I don't want money. Can I just give it to Shengda for renovation?"

"You want to adapt it for free... Dream on! I'll pay you to adapt mine!"

"Hahaha……"

The group watched and chatted at the same time.

of course.

The afternoon's itinerary wasn't limited to Shengda.

Following Shengda Games' production department, Qidian also arranged for several comic and animation production companies.

What delighted the authors was...

These comic and animation production companies have stated that they are considering purchasing online novel IPs for adaptation.

night.

A proper meal was arranged at the starting point.

To everyone's surprise, it was...

Just as everyone was eating and drinking, and the atmosphere was very lively.

Chen Tianqiao, the CEO of Shengda, walked in carrying a wine glass.
