Chapter 172 First Place, Why Can't It Be Me! (Please Subscribe)
A few days later, the list of China's richest writers was officially released.

Generally speaking.

Previously, the list of China's richest writers included 25 people.

That is, starting from the first, it goes up to the 25th place.

The first to be announced were the authors ranked 25th to 10th.

Yu Hua, Bi Shumin, Yi Zhongtian, Annie Baby, Chi Li, Hai Yan, Yang Zhijun, Han Han, Mai Jia, Cai Jun, Xia Moyan, Wang Liqun, Yu Qiuyu, Wang Xiaofang, Ming Xiaoxi.

"Yu Hua is ranked 25th."

"Don't be surprised, Yu Hua has participated in too few events this year, and his books have not sold very well."

"Han Han is the same, she's ranked outside the top ten."

"It's because he's been racing for the past two years. But he's talented; he does whatever he likes, and he's quite skilled at racing."

"Yi Zhongtian's popularity is gradually declining, but Professor Wang Liqun's history lectures are quite good."

The list of China's richest writers is extremely popular.

The moment he made the announcement, he became the subject of much discussion within the industry.

In here.

One reason is that these writers are all celebrities.

Such as Yi Zhongtian, Yu Hua, Annie Baby, Han Han, Wang Liqun... and so on.

Many book lovers have bought the books they wrote.

another.

This is also because these writers earn a very good income.

Like Yu Hua.

Although he ranked 25th, his income reached 110 million.

That's considered a small number.

Yu Hua's income last year was 350 million yuan.

As for why income dropped so much this year, it's hard to say.

This is related to the popularity of the work.

It is also related to the publishing house and the public's aesthetic preferences.

But no matter what.

The era of 08.

Earning over a million in a year is already a very, very large number.

Let alone 08.

That is, in another 10 years.

Earning over a million in a year is a figure that is difficult for ordinary people to achieve.

……

"There are still the top 10, damn it, why didn't they send them all at once?"

"The top ten are all big shots. These media people, of course, need to be divided into several groups."

"Wait a minute, it'll be here soon."

It was indeed very fast.

From 11th to 25th place onwards.

The media once again released the income of the top 10 authors.

However, since there are only 10 spots in the top ten, the announcement will be made in several batches.

The first announcement included rankings from 10th to 8th.

10th place: Cang Yue, 355 million.

9th place: Shi Kang, 360 million.

8th place: He Ma, 440 million.

Cang Yue first wrote under the banyan tree, and published her first full-length novel, "Starry Sky Chronicles".

Later, he successfully transitioned to the print media market and won first place in the National College Student Martial Arts Novel Competition, titled "Legend of Today and Yesterday".

Subsequently, Cang Yue became one of the representative figures of the new generation of martial arts novels.

Many readers remember that when they were in junior high or high school, they bought the martial arts edition of "Legend of Ancient and Modern Times" just to read Cang Yue's novels.

The author, Shi Kang, is not particularly well-known, but he has written a great many works.

My main profession is editing.

His representative works include "Big Shot's Funeral" and "Struggle".

With two classic and popular works released, it's no surprise that it ranked 9th.

The 8th place goes to He Ma, whose representative work is called "Tibetan Honey Code".

"Tsk tsk, these three, their income is at least 300 million, they're financially independent."

"I'm not free yet, but if I lived in a small county town, I'd be set for life."

"They're all great writers, I'm so envious."

A number of netizens commented from time to time.

in their eyes.

Being a writer is not just a noble profession.

In retrospect, they have discovered that being a writer is still a high-income profession.

of course.

This view is rather one-sided.

In fact, being a writer is never considered a high-income profession.

Because compared to other top professions, the profession of writer will definitely be inferior to other professions.

For example, writers compared to professional managers.

Writers compared to sports stars.

Writers, singers, and celebrities are compared.

Writers don't earn as much as they do.

But no matter what.

The profession of writer is one that ordinary people feel most accessible to.

This is why everyone yearns for it and envies it so much.

"The 7th and 5th place teams have arrived."

soon.

Major media outlets have released the names of three more authors.

They are respectively.

7th place: Yu Dan, 500 million.

6th place: Guo Ni, 550 million.

5th place: Ma Weidu, 745 million.

Compared to the previous one.

Starting from number 7, these authors' incomes began to skyrocket.

Professor Yu Dan's lectures on the Analects on the Hundred Schools Forum instantly earned her over 500 million yuan.

Guo Ni is one of the representative writers of youth literature. Her works, such as "Sparrow Wants Revolution" and "The Devil's Law", are not only popular in China.

Moreover, her works sell well in Southeast Asia, making her one of the few representative works from China that can be exported culturally.

Needless to say, Ma Weidu is a great collector, and his book "Ma Weidu on Collecting" is a bestseller in China.

of course.

not only.

His early work, "Stories from the Editorial Department," is also a classic.

……

"Four more."

"I'm getting more and more eager to see the next four."

"No need to guess, I estimate it will be Xiao Si and his team, maybe Xiao Si will be the champion."

Ok.

Many people have made various speculations.

the other side.

At the same time that the list of China's richest writers was released, Guo Jingming was holding a press conference to launch his new book.

He plans to officially release his new book, "Tiny Times," today, the day the list of China's richest writers is released and he is ranked number one.

at this time.

A host of media outlets had already arrived, and Xiao Si chatted and laughed with them.

"Hehe, Xiao Si, congratulations, congratulations! You're number one again." "Don't say that, the final four haven't been announced yet."

"What's the point of announcing it? I already know the list of the final four. It will definitely be Zheng Yuanjie, and I think Dangnian Mingyue is also on it. As for Xiao Si, if he's not number one, I won't take the travel allowance later."

"Hahaha."

Everyone burst into laughter, but Xiao Si said politely, "Please don't. Everyone has come all this way, so travel expenses are still necessary. Not only that, but this time the travel expenses for everyone will definitely be higher than in previous years."

"Xiao Si is awesome, he really has a big vision."

A series of flattering remarks made Xiao Si feel like he was floating on air.

In fact.

The subsequent lists were indeed as many media reporters had guessed.

then.

The West China City Daily has once again released a list of three names.

They are Dangnian Mingyue and 1000 million respectively.

Zheng Yuanjie: 1100 million.

Guo Xiaosi: 1300 million.

Dangnian Mingyue's works are about the Ming Dynasty.

Actually, Dangnian Mingyue became popular back in 06.

At that time, the work was serialized online. Although it was published in print, the volume of print copies did not increase as quickly as it did then.

After two years of building fame and buzz, Dangnian Mingyue finally exploded onto the scene.

On his first appearance on the list, he immediately received 1000 million yuan in royalties.

As for Zheng Yuanjie, needless to say, he has always been among the top three.

"Little Four, I told you, you're number one."

"1300 million? That's incredible! Even some famous celebrities don't earn that much money."

"Xiao Si, let's drink until we drop tonight."

A series of flattering remarks followed.

Guo Xiaosi was also very excited: "Okay, let's drink until we drop tonight!"

"Thank you, thank you everyone."

"So, today I will officially release my new book..."

Just as Guo Jingming was about to announce the release of Tiny Times.

Sudden.

He seemed to have noticed something: "Hey, wasn't the list that was just released the fourth to second place?"

"Uh... let me check."

really.

"Xiao Si, it seems you're in second place."

"There is one more author who has not yet been announced."

this moment.

At the press conference, Guo Xiaosi looked extremely grim.

"How can it be."

"If Xiao Si isn't number one, then who is?"

of course.

Many netizens have obviously noticed this as well.

"It seems that Xiao Si is ranked second."

"The first one is someone else."

"Wow, this year's list of China's richest writers is going to have a dark horse."

Countless onlookers and netizens have once again focused their attention on this.

To know.

Previously, everyone thought that Guo Jingming should be number one.

Yes.

Because they simply couldn't think of anyone more capable than Xiao Si.

Originally, everyone was going to talk about Han Han.

If it were a few years ago...

Han Han could actually put up a fight against him.

But Han Han clearly prefers to play, so he went off to play something else.

Xiao Si is quite professional.

Although he also did a lot of other things and joined a talent agency, writing books is still his profession.

This is considered quite professional.

At the same time, his books sell very well, and he's particularly good at creating hype.

If he weren't number one, honestly, many people wouldn't guess who would be number one.

……

"Haha, this is going to be interesting. Guo Jingming is ranked second on the list of China's richest writers."

"I heard that when Guo Jingming held his new book launch, his face turned green."

"I really don't know who stole Xiao Si's first place."

A group of writers in the industry were also watching the drama unfold.

"Could there be one person who was missed in the statistics?"

"That shouldn't be the case. To get here, you need to earn at least 1000 million yuan from writing. A writer who can earn that much can't possibly be unknown."

"Could it be a misunderstanding, or...?"

I don't know if it was intentional or something else.

The list of the richest Chinese writers, which ranks last and is actually the first, has yet to be released.

The founder, Wu Huaiyao, probably knew as well.

The last author will definitely cause a sensation across the internet.

Since it's already caused such a sensation, he'll let the whole internet discuss it even more.

"Old Wu, that's not fair. Didn't you say I was number one?"

With one phone call, Guo Xiaosi called Wu Huaiyao.

Wu Huaiyao smiled and said, "Little Si, I never said you were number one."

"Old Wu, there's no need for this. So tell me, who will be number one?"

"Don't worry, the list will be announced soon, you'll definitely know."

“I’m not in a hurry. But Lao Wu, if you do it this way, I won’t participate in the Chinese Writers’ Rich List anymore.”

"Xiao Si, I assure you, my ranking is absolutely fair."

"Fine, let's see how fair you are."

All eyes are on you.

this moment.

The West China City Daily, the media outlet that publishes the list of China's richest writers, was nearly overwhelmed by the massive influx of people and its systems nearly crashed.

"Don't be arrogant, have you been paying attention to the list of China's richest writers?"

In Chen Yang's fan group, some readers also asked questions.

“I’ve paid attention.”

Chen Yang nodded.

Who do you think will be number one?

"What do you think?"

"We don't know. It seems like we can't find anyone else besides Xiao Si."

"Why don't you guess what I am?"

"you?"

"Yes."

Chen Yang nodded affirmatively.

Done.
