Reborn, I achieved legendary status with a single book.

Chapter 170: The List of China's Richest Writers - I'm on it.

Zhang Liangying's concert is still ongoing.

After Shanghai, the next stop is Chengdu.

Unlike her concert in Shanghai, Zhang Liangying added a new song to her Chengdu concert.

The song "Painting Heart" became an instant hit upon its release.

Zhang Liangying also became the focus of attention in the entertainment industry overnight because of her song "Painting Heart".

"Zhang Liangying is amazing! This song, 'Painting Heart,' perfectly showcases her singing voice."

"Yes, especially the final dolphin sound, wow, it captivated the entire audience."

"I heard that Zhang Liangying hired a master to tailor-make a song for her."

"Which one?"

"He's not in the industry, but he's incredibly talented."

"How strong is it?"

"Extremely strong, extremely strong, extremely strong, terrifyingly strong."

Zhang Liangying also called Chen Yang immediately to thank him.

On the other hand, it was also said.

A film and television company has taken a liking to this song and wants to use it as their theme song.

Chen Yang agreed.

He wasn't interested in songs or anything like that.

It's just copying anyway.

As long as you pay, that's all that matters.

However, Zhang Liangying later said that she wanted to come to Aurora University to thank him.

Chen Yang refused.

It's not that I don't want to see Zhang Liangying.

The main reason is that he is extremely busy right now.

One is that the new book has just been released.

Another thing is that he still owes his readers about ten chapters.

Fortunately, college is not as busy as high school.

After a series of consecutive updates, Chen Yang made up for the chapters he had previously missed.

"Brothers, let's finish all the chapters we owed, chapter 20."

No debts, no worries.

Chen Yang breathed a sigh of relief; he planned to rest for two days.

……

the other side.

Several film and television companies have contacted Qidian.com, all wanting to acquire the film and television rights to Chen Yang's "Battle Through the Heavens".

Several other game companies also want to adapt "Battle Through the Heavens".

but.

When they inquired about the price again.

Chen Yang has increased the copyright fee for "Battle Through the Heavens" from 1000 million to 2000 million.

How can we not raise prices?

Records were broken one after another.

Even the later Easter eggs and the increasingly clear online novel universe make it impossible for the price to remain the same.

The 2000 million yuan figure set by Chen Yang left several investors speechless.

They've never bought copyrights this expensive before, let alone online literature copyrights.

Seeing that Chen Yang wouldn't budge, they had no choice but to give up.

even.

Several investors even made some harsh statements.

2000 million is a sum that almost no one in China would be willing to spend.

Chen Yang did not respond to them.

Circumstances will not change according to their will.

Once the market explodes, they'll be scrambling for it, not just 2000 million, but 3000 million.

"Without making a big fuss, one film and television company offered 1500 million."

"No, I believe they will come looking for me again in six months."

"Don't be arrogant, you mean, wait for the mobile company to take over?"

"Correct."

"We've received some news from China Mobile, but we don't know the exact details yet. The price is reasonable right now, would you like to reconsider?"

"Thank you, Raccoon."

Chen Yang refused.

he knows.

Mobile Dream Network's online reading service will definitely be a nuclear bomb.

However, his terrifying nature is not yet apparent to the public.

In fact.

Chen Yang has always believed that if China Mobile really focuses on the internet, he could become the king of the internet.

Back then, NetEase, Sohu, and China Mobile saved them.

Back in the day, QQ would have been finished if it weren't for the China Mobile Internet service.

Later, China Mobile launched its online reading service.

They could have unified online literature.

But they felt they were the bosses, that they could monopolize the business and make others work for them.

result.

Several years passed.

The mobile device, which had been guarding the treasure vault, eventually became desolate.

China Mobile also launched Fetion, which predates WeChat.

This product can be described as a killer app.

But a pity.

Such an amazing piece of software eventually disappeared without a trace.

of course.

Chen Yang knew this too.

That's just how state-owned enterprises are.

But no matter what they are like.

Mobile's business is still very strong.

As long as they launch this business, the IP value of a series of online novels will explode.

Not to mention.

"Battle Through the Heavens" is known as the king of online novels.

……

On the other hand, traditional media outlets are currently planning a very interesting list.

This list is called the China Rich Writers List.

The founder is Wu Huaiyao, a very young media professional.

The China Rich Writers List compiles the income information of a series of China's top writers.

It has been held since 2006.

The annual announcement of the China Rich Writers List attracts widespread attention across the internet.

Even his popularity.

For a time, it even surpassed the Nobel Prize in Literature.

Many people are unaware of which writers are awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature each year.

However, after the release of the list of China's richest writers, many people can name several writers who made the list from time to time.

Such as Guo Jingming, Han Han, Yu Hua, Zheng Yuanjie, etc.

This list has also made the public aware of top writers, whose income is an astonishing figure.

This year, Wu Huaiyao is currently interviewing a group of writers in order to compile a list.

"Huaiyao, what brings you here today? I'm afraid I won't make it into the top 20 this year."

Yu Hua smiled and said to Wu Huaiyao, who had come to visit him.

“Mr. Yu Hua, as you said, you attended fewer events this year. If you had attended more events, you could have easily made it into the top 10, let alone the top 20.”

Wu Huaiyao put down the small gift in his hand.

Yu Hua led Wu Huaiyao into the study for tea.

"I'm getting old, I can't compare to those young guys. Look at Han Han, Guo Jingming, how amazing they are. By the way, recently another one, Dangnian Mingyue, has emerged, he's incredible."

"Dangnian Mingyue is indeed impressive; his book sold millions of copies, which is remarkable."

"However, I'm a little curious. Since Dangnian Mingyue serialized his work on Tianya, is he considered an online writer or a traditional writer?"

"Well... I don't know how to categorize it. If we look at it by subject matter, he should be considered traditional. However, since he serializes his work online, he's somewhat like an online writer. But whether they're traditional or online writers, they're still writers."

"In that case, you should pay more attention to other online writers."

"Mr. Yu Hua, are you referring to Tianxia Bachang, who wrote Ghost Blows Out the Light? I've considered it, but Tianxia Bachang probably didn't handle the copyright properly. He sold the copyright early on. So, he probably won't get much of the copyright fees later."

"It's truly a pity about Tianxia Bachang."

Yu Hua also said, "I was too young and didn't realize the value of my copyright at the time."

Wu Huaiyao nodded in agreement: "Indeed, who would have thought that an entertaining online novel could be so valuable? This includes Dangnian Mingyue as well. He never expected that his Ming Dynasty novel would sell so well. However, he is, after all, in the system, has a stable job, and is quite shrewd, so he didn't sell the copyright all at once."

"Speaking of online writers, you know what, I'm actually quite interested. Last time, the Lu Xun Academy held its first online literature seminar, and all the attendees were top-tier online writers."

“I’ve been following it too, and it seems like Jiang Nan went there as well. However, Jiang Nan doesn’t seem to promote himself as an online writer much.”

"I understand. He might feel that being an online writer doesn't suit him, or that it's not a particularly good identity. However, I don't think it's a problem. At the last seminar, I met a group of young people who are incredibly passionate about online writing. I'd like to recommend an author to you."

"Mr. Yu Hua, please speak."

"He is not good-looking."

"Oh, that's the top student from Aurora University."

"Yes, it's him. This kid is different from others; he truly loves online novels and his identity. Moreover, from what I understand, his royalties are no less than those of traditional writers, and may even exceed them."

“Mr. Yu Hua, now that you mention it, I’ll go to his place next.”

"Okay, go ahead, go ahead, you'll definitely gain a lot from it. By the way, should I give him a call, just in case he refuses to see you?"

"Haha, this person is so strange?"

"It's not that they're strange, it's just that their personalities are, how should I put it, rather innocent. Unlike some of our print media writers, who often go around in circles because of real-world issues and relationships... They're simpler; they like what they like, and they don't like what they don't like. So when I chat with them, I immediately feel their energy."

“Professor Yu Hua, the more you talk about him, the more interested I become.”

"Then I'll call him."

Yu Hua smiled and took out his phone.

A few minutes later.

Yu Hua hung up the phone: "Cough cough, luckily I called him. Otherwise, he might not have even seen you. He said he was incredibly busy recently and just wanted to take a break these past few days, so he didn't want to see anyone. Luckily, I still have enough face."

“Mr. Yu Hua, otherwise why would I have come to you first?”

Wu Huaiyao expressed his gratitude once again.

……

"He is not good-looking."

Wu Huaiyao already knew about this online writer.

of course.

It's not okay if you don't know.

Last year's nationally sensational case of a top student from Aurora University who was also a top online novelist is something everyone knows.

However, after the media calmed down, he also felt that the media had overreacted or sensationalized the situation.

If he weren't an unremarkable-looking student from Aurora University, and if he didn't have the added advantage of being a student of the National College Entrance Examination (Gaokao), this news wouldn't have gone viral nationwide.

"Chen Yang, Chinese Language and Literature major, Aurora University".

Since he was going to visit Chen Yang, Wu Huaiyao naturally had to make some preparations.

He first started looking up information about Chen Yang.

All of this information is readily available and can be easily found online.

However, it is precisely because it is relatively easy to find.

But the more Wu Huaiyao searched, the more shocked he became.

"You Are the Apple of My Eye, it turns out he also wrote 'Those Years'."

"This book is selling very well too."

Wu Huaiyao was somewhat surprised.

Then, he saw that Shengda had purchased the game copyright for Chen Yang's "The Great World".

According to news reports, the number is 500 million.

Be nice.

Based on this single figure alone, Chen Yang could easily enter the top ten of this issue's list of China's richest writers.

what.

Here is information about China Film Group purchasing the film and television rights to "The Great World".

Click to take a look.

It really is.

The more Wu Huaiyao investigated, the more shocked and interested he became.

The comic book copyright is also included.

The fees for electronic manuscripts seem to be quite high as well.

After searching for more than two hours.

Wu Huaiyao stopped.

"Game copyrights, film and television copyrights, comic book copyrights, e-subscriptions... just these alone... this should put him in the top three of the Chinese Writers' Rich List, and he might even climb higher."

Think of this.

Wu Huaiyao went to the bookstore immediately and bought the complete set of "The Great World" and "Those Years".

tomorrow.

He planned to go to Aurora City to get Chen Yang's autograph first.
