Reborn, I achieved legendary status with a single book.

Chapter 148: 10th Anniversary of Online Novels, The Heaven, Earth, and Man Rankings. (Please Subscribe)
The field trip went very smoothly.

It wasn't just the event that went smoothly.

Even more smoothly...

The two directors received guidance from two well-known online novelists on Qidian.com.

He Chuang's side reaped the greater rewards.

I received a recommendation from Chen Yang.

It is said that after the field trip, He Chuang could hardly believe it, thinking he was dreaming.

To know.

Who is Chen Yang in front of me?

In reality, not everyone might know this.

But in the world of online literature, he is the very best of the best.

All he needs is a recommendation.

Tsk...that effect...it must be incredible.

"Brothers, I have a question for you all."

back home.

An excited He Chuang sent a message in a group of new authors he had joined.

"Teacher He, what's up?"

"Um, if Yang Shen doesn't give me a chapter recommendation, how many more favorites or subscriptions would I usually get?"

"Who knows about this? Who is Bu Yang Shen? His chapter recommendations are even more impressive than Qidian's top recommendations. Besides, Bu Yang Shen rarely recommends works. I think only Thirty-Two or someone else has been recommended. Don't tell me Bu Yang Shen is going to recommend your book."

"No, I'm just asking."

He Chuang is quite experienced.

but.

Although I didn't get a clear answer from the question.

But he knew.

The effect of this chapter's promotion has absolutely exceeded my expectations.

Three days later.

Chen Yang sent He Chuang a message: "President, I just did a chapter promotion for your book. I don't know what the effect will be, take a look."

"Thank you so much, Professor Chen Yang. You're so kind."

Excited, He Chuang clenched his fists.

The time that follows.

He Chuang was almost constantly refreshing the backend.

The number of favorites has increased by 100.

The number of favorites has increased by 200.

The number of favorites has increased by 500.

1000 more favorites added...

until night.

He Chuang then stopped.

"Honey, cook two side dishes to go with your drinks tonight."

"What's wrong? Why are you so happy?"

"Ha, if I told you my royalties this month could exceed 2, would you believe me?"

"Twenty thousand a year?"

"No, one month."

"2 a month... Honey, you've won the lottery!"

"This is almost like winning the lottery. Hurry up, hurry up... Honey, I'll go buy you a gold necklace tomorrow."

this moment.

He Chuang finally understood why online novels were so popular.

……

December went by quickly.

Before we knew it, it was already the end of the month.

Takaoka is also very efficient.

The first printing of 20 copies of "Those Years" is ready.

Other colleagues said that Takaoka was too bold.

The first printing yielded 20 copies.

Takaoka, however, said, "I think I'm being too conservative."

I estimate that the first printing of 20 copies will sell out quickly.

At least 100 million copies throughout the year.

In fact.

Takaoka was indeed conservative.

When "Those Years" was released in bookstores across the country, its sales skyrocketed every day.

Even though Chen Yang hasn't held a signing event yet, it hasn't affected the book's sales at all.

One reason is the excellence of the work itself, as well as the appealing title.

Of course, there's one more.

At the end of his final work, Chen Yang wrote two songs.

On the first day of the official release of "Those Years", Chen Yang posted the sheet music for the first song of "Those Years" on Tianya.com.

[Back to the very beginning, in my memory your youthful face]
We have finally arrived at this day.

The old photos under the placemat connect countless memories

Today, the boy is going to keep his final appointment with the girl.

I'm back at square one, standing blankly in front of the mirror.
Clumsily tied the knot of the red tie
Comb your hair like an adult, put on a smart suit...

The beautiful and moving melody tells everyone about the beauty of youth.

In this beautiful moment.

The first printing of 20 copies of "You Are the Apple of My Eye" sold out in just two weeks.

This left Takaoka speechless.

Although he had predicted long ago that the total sales in those years would definitely be more than 20 copies.

But he didn't expect that.

In such a short time, 20 copies have already sold out.

However, he also admired Chen Yang.

When the work was released, a title track of the same name was also released.

It would have been hard for "You Are the Apple of My Eye" not to be a hit.

"Chen Yang, I didn't expect you to be so good at songwriting."

"I write occasionally."

"Come on, you said the same thing last time, and here you are again. By the way, don't let your musical talent go to waste. I've received several calls from friends who want to commission songs from you."

"No time."

"Chen Yang, don't be so quick to refuse. Look, writing songs doesn't take up much time. You can write when you're inspired and not when you're not. Besides, a good song can sell for tens of thousands of yuan."

"It's only a few tens of thousands of yuan, I might as well write for myself. In the future, when I write books, I'll write more theme songs. That way, the books will sell better."

"That makes a lot of sense."

This said.

Takaoka didn't know what to say.

He really didn't expect it.

There are even instances of music and books being combined for promotional purposes.

of course.

It's not that others didn't think of it either.

The problem is that others can't do it. One reason is that others can't write such excellent works.

another.

Even if you can write some excellent works, they can't write songs that match them.

of course.

Chen Yang did not completely reject Gao Gang.

He doesn't intentionally try to sell his songs.

If I have the time and the mood... I can still write some songs to earn some pocket money.

"By the way, Mr. Gao, how many copies are needed for the first printing?"

30 copies.

"Too few, 50 copies."

"Holy crap, that's ruthless."

"I have a second song."

“I know… but we’ve already sold 20 copies. It’s not that I’m worried about not being able to sell another 50, I’m just afraid of what might happen. After all, we shouldn’t do things at a loss. We should take it one step at a time. It may take longer, but at least we won’t have to stockpile them in the warehouse.”

"Don't worry, the second song will be 100 times more popular than the first song."

"Really?"

"How about this: your publishing house will cover 30 copies, and I'll cover the remaining 20. If they're not sold out, I'll buy them all. If they are, you can give me a larger share of the profits."

"Good lad, you've already taken 14% of the royalties, and you still want a share? But since you're so confident, I, as the boss, should show some guts. Okay, 50 copies, 50 copies it is."

……

"Everyone has worked very hard this year. The achievements of our company this year are obvious to all. As the saying goes, there should be rewards and punishments. Those who have made contributions must be rewarded. So, today I will announce the job appointments for some personnel."

Station Master Baojian arrived at the Qidian editorial department.

"Captain, you've been promoted to Deputy Editor-in-Chief of Qidian."

Applause erupted wildly.

The captain was also very excited: "Thank you, Baojian."

"Gu Yue, promoted to editor-in-chief of Group 3."

Applause erupted once again.

"Gu Yue, you're awesome! Treat us to a meal!"

"Gu Yue, from now on I'll have to call you editor-in-chief."

"Gu Yue..."

The entire office was in an uproar.

night.

The team leader and Gu Yue treated their colleagues to dinner.

Everyone said with great envy, "Gu Yue, you're the editor-in-chief now, so will you hand over the responsibility for Bu Yang Da to us?"

"That's what the raccoon said."

Gu Yue immediately shook his head: "The sword hasn't even been mentioned yet, no way, no way."

Raccoon glanced at the captain and said, "Captain, you're the deputy editor-in-chief now. Look, according to the rules at Qidian, the editors are usually in charge of the authors. Now that Gu Yue is the editor-in-chief, what is he in charge of?"

The captain thought for a moment and said, "Gu Yue, if you're going to be the editor-in-chief, you have to have the guts of an editor-in-chief. If you don't show off, then the responsibility will fall to the raccoon."

Gu Yue was really reluctant and said, "Then can I not be the editor-in-chief?"

"Pfft..."

Everyone nearly spat out their water.

"Gu Yue, you really don't want to improve."

"What progress? Yang Da alone has already achieved my annual performance target. If I were the editor-in-chief, I would have even greater performance. It's so tiring, I don't want to."

"No, you should think about it. In the future, you will become the deputy editor-in-chief, or even the editor-in-chief, just like the captain."

"You're just making empty promises, aren't you?"

“In that case, you should tell Bao Ye that you should remain the editor.”

"Sigh...it's a dilemma."

Gu Yue sighed.

of course.

He was just saying it.

If you can't be the chief editor, how can you stay as the editor-in-chief forever?

Although he continues to be the editor in charge and continues to be responsible for Chen Yang, his performance is outstanding.

He doesn't even need to work very hard at his job.

But this also blocked the path to advancement.

Gu Yue also understood.

The starting point is developing very rapidly now.

Don't underestimate our current business of novels; in a few years, we'll have a whole host of other businesses to grow.

Things like IP rights and even gaming businesses can be developed.

If he doesn't get promoted, he'll miss out on all these opportunities.

"Okay, okay, Raccoon, you have to take good care of Bu Yang Da for me."

"Don't worry, I'll keep him in my mouth."

"Holding it in your mouth... How can you be so lewd? He's only 18."

"Get lost... Believe me or not, I'll talk bad about you to Bu Yang later."

The editors were all very happy today.

Although the other editors were not promoted.

However, the business at the starting point has also increased significantly this year.

The other editors also exceeded their annual KPIs ahead of schedule.

This also earned each of their editors a decent bonus.

Until midnight.

The editors then left.

"Gu Yue, wait a moment."

As they left, the captain patted Gu Yue on the shoulder.

“Gu Yue, although Master Bao has promoted us, the burden on our shoulders is heavier now. I think we should organize a big event as the year draws to a close.”

"Captain, I've had this idea for a while now."

"Oh, not bad."

The team leader said, "What activity? Tell me."

"I will report the specific activities to you tomorrow, but I can tell you the names first."

"Ah."

"This name will be called the 10th Anniversary of Online Literature: The Heaven, Earth, and Man Ranking."

This list.

Gu Yue had considered it for a long time.

However, he was just a junior editor at the time, so he didn't bring it up.

Now I'm the editor-in-chief.

He felt it was time to bring it up.

"Wow, this event is awesome."

They're all insiders.

The team leader was incredibly excited when he heard the name of the event.

He believed.

Such a list has emerged.

He is bound to cause a frenzy in the entire online literature world.
