Reborn, I achieved legendary status with a single book.

Chapter 175: Ten Years of Writing, Meeting at the Summit. (Please Subscribe)
The traditional and simplified Chinese versions of "Battle Through the Heavens" have recently begun to generate buzz.

The copyright agreement was signed a long time ago due to our previous collaboration.

Sales channels have also begun to be established in both Taiwan and mainland China.

This is different from before.

Whether it's Taiwan or the mainland.

Almost every bookstore in China has opened its doors to "Battle Through the Heavens".

In here.

It also includes Xinhua Bookstore, the most prestigious bookstore in China.

On the day "Battle Through the Heavens" was released, Chen Yang made a special trip to various bookstores to check it out.

They didn't do much promotional work.

Major bookstores simply posted a notice on their shelves saying that Battle Through the Heavens was in stock.

A group of friends then read one book after another.

"Are you here to buy Battle Through the Heavens too?"

"Yes, I don't know if there are any left?"

"Yes, I just asked the boss, and he said there's plenty in stock."

What made Chen Yang very gratified was...

Chen Yang discovered.

His novel, Battle Through the Heavens, surprisingly has a large student audience.

"Hey student, do you like this novel, Battle Through the Heavens?"

"It's great. I used to read pirated copies at rental bookstores. I heard that the official version is now on sale, so I wanted to buy a copy as a souvenir."

"I want to ask, will your parents scold you for buying these online novels?"

"No, my parents are very supportive when they heard I wanted to buy Battle Through the Heavens."

"Oh?"

"He said he wanted to learn from Brother Chen Yang, who got into Aurora University. He also said that one should have backbone, that fortunes change, and that one should not underestimate a young person's potential."

Ok.

Having such a high-achieving student status has truly added countless halos to Chen Yang's reputation.

The saying "Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river" truly resonates with people.

"Hey, you look just like Chen Yang."

"Really?"

"Holy crap, you can't really be Chen Yang, can you?"

This classmate seems to have recognized Chen Yang.

Seeing that he couldn't keep up the act any longer, Chen Yang had no choice but to admit, "Okay, I am Chen Yang."

"Oh my god... Brother Yang, Brother Yang... could you please sign your name for me?"

"Row."

The other people in the bookstore also noticed Chen Yang and gathered around him.

Accidentally.

Chen Yang, however, held a small book signing event at the bookstore.

……

In the past few days, many film and television companies have come to inquire about the copyright of "You Are the Apple of My Eye".

However, the offered price was relatively low, with the highest offer being only 200 million.

Chen Yang knew that it wasn't that their offer was low, but that this was indeed the market price, and that 200 million was even considered a high price.

After all, the highest box office in the 08 film market was only around 3 million.

Around 3 million will be allocated to the production team, with a maximum of 1 million.

After deducting investments, you'd be lucky to make 1 million out of 2000 million.

If a script can cost millions, how are these producers and directors supposed to make a living?

This is still using the best examples.

If we look at other figures, most movies in 08 grossed less than 1 million yuan at the box office.

In fact, most of them suffered devastating losses.

However, Chen Yang wasn't particularly short of money at the moment, so he declined.

He was also aware of the work's influence.

Let's leave it for now.

In addition, "You Are the Apple of My Eye" has been a bestseller.

Even if we don't film it now, it will be a major IP in the future.

maybe.

If we let it sit for another ten years or so, and then film it again... he might create a box office miracle.

……

The film and television rights, as well as the game rights for "Battle Through the Heavens," have recently attracted a large number of people.

even.

The offer really reached 2000 million.

This price startled the editors at Qidian.com.

They previously thought that Chen Yang's mention of 2000 million was an attempt to scare away these investors.

Now let’s see.

have to.

After some time, they came back.

But Chen Yang knew the IP value of "Battle Through the Heavens".

Even if the other party offered 2000 million, Chen Yang would not budge for the time being.

He planned to wait a little longer.

Moreover.

Chen Yang didn't want them to film so quickly either.

With current technology, funding, and their understanding of online novels, they may not be able to adapt Battle Through the Heavens into a good film.

If he were to transform his fighting spirit into a horse, Chen Yang would be devastated.

……

There's one more thing.

After Chen Yangzhi revealed a series of his identities and income.

Chen Yang, on the other hand, gained a group of fans.

This group of fans calls themselves Yang fans.

This Yang is not the Yang that is unremarkable in appearance.

In their words, it means to exhale with pride, to be illustrious and renowned, and to be famous throughout the world.

This wouldn't have been a problem originally.

After all, Chen Yang has made such a big splash, so naturally he will attract a lot of fans.

But Xiao Si, who previously criticized Chen Yang, is in big trouble.

Even after everyone criticized him once before, Yang's fans still didn't think it was enough.

Wherever Xiao Si appeared afterward, Yang's fans went all out.

This infuriated Guo Jingming and his fans.

But they had absolutely no way to deal with Chen Yang.

We just compared incomes, and Xiao Si was immediately proven wrong.

In terms of academic qualifications, Xiao Si's qualifications are simply not good enough.

In terms of talent, they have full copyrights for simplified and traditional Chinese characters, movies, TV series, games...

Let's not compare heights... lest it be considered humiliating.

Anyway.

The Xiao Si who was previously adored by a large number of fans is, in Chen Yang's eyes, nothing at all.

This also caused history to change slightly.

For example, Guo Jingming's Tiny Times.

It sold quite well in its previous life.

However, after Chen Yang appeared, the sales of Tiny Times plummeted.

The initial print run was 50 copies, which was later reduced to 30 copies, and then to 20 copies.

Even if it's only 20 copies.

Industry insiders estimate that even 20 copies might not be sold.

This is not a problem of market purchasing power.

The sales figures for Guo Jingming's previous books were entirely due to hype.

Many people regard Guo Jingming as an idol.

But once the idol's halo collapses, where will all those die-hard fans come from to support them?

……

Chen Yang had not anticipated any of this.

but.

He has no time to care about his mistress.

He's always very busy.

This is not.

Chen Yang used his weekend to organize a fan tour of Huangshan.

This activity was organized by Guo Yangchen in the group.

The original idea was for Chen Yang to organize an offline fan meeting. Chen Yang felt it was too high-end and unnecessary.

Chen Yang felt that everyone was very supportive of him because they were able to buy his book.

Aside from being a writer, Chen Yang feels that he is no different from his fellow book lovers.

We are all friends.

After thinking about it for a moment, Chen Yang suggested that everyone form a group to climb Huangshan Mountain.

This way, everyone can meet and chat.

Secondly.

Fans shouldn't treat Chen Yang as an idol; just consider this trip as a vacation.

This activity received unanimous approval.

The number of applicants quickly exceeded 50.

For the safety of all the readers, Chen Yang also arranged a tour group and bought insurance for all of them.

After some arrangements, the event officially began.

"Brother Xiaoyao, you've come too?"

When everyone arrived at the foot of Huangshan Mountain and saw Xiaoyao Wanli, who was also the author, Chen Yang was somewhat bewildered.

He didn't expect that.

Even Xiaoyao Wanli signed up.

Xiaoyao Wanli laughed and said, "What, can't I come? I'm a fan of yours too."

Chen Yang said, "Nonsense, don't steal my fans."

"Sigh, I'd like to, but I don't have the ability."

Xiaoyao Wanli sighed: "To be honest, I actually came here this time to ask to become your disciple and seek your guidance."

"What apprenticeship? We're all friends. Come on, let's climb Huangshan and chat."

Chen Yang was very happy to see everyone and took photos with them.

The scenery of Huangshan is beautiful.

Chen Yang came here once in his previous life.

Chen Yang chose Huangshan again because he felt he hadn't seen enough of it the first time and wanted to come back again.

"Indeed, after visiting the Five Sacred Mountains, one need not see any other mountains; after visiting Huangshan, one need not see any other of the Five Sacred Mountains. What a grand view!"

"Yes, I've always heard of Huangshan, but I've never been here before. This time I've really had a feast for the eyes."

"Haha, it's still not the God of Mount Huangshan. If it weren't for the God of Mount Huangshan, I don't know how many years it would have taken me to come here."

The group of book lovers admired the scenery as they strolled around, marveling at its beauty.

This kind of sightseeing activity is excellent.

Although Chen Yang was also there.

But the scenery along the way was so captivating that the group of readers gradually forgot about Chen Yang.

Chen Yang actually liked this feeling.

We are all friends.

Even if people enjoy watching your work, you have no right to act superior.

But it is precisely this mindset of Chen Yang that makes him even more beloved by his fans.

"Brother Xiaoyao, I've read your book. To be honest, your writing style, your plot, and your conception are all top-notch."

Xiaoyao Wanli is also a top author on Qidian.com.

However, Chen Yang realized that Xiaoyao Wanli might have encountered a bottleneck.

But it's really hard to say about things like bottle neck.

Chen Yang's guidance may not be helpful to Xiaoyao Wanli.

Chen Yang also knew this.

Xiaoyao Wanli has far more seniority than him.

Xiaoyao Wanli entered the online literature industry back when it was still in its infancy.

It can be said.

Xiaoyao Wanli can be considered a veteran figure in the online literature world for the past decade.

After thinking for a moment, Chen Yang said, "In terms of technique, I don't think I have anything to say."

Even though Chen Yang knew that his skills were superior to Xiaoyao Wanli's.

However, this is not the most important thing.

The current bottleneck for Xiaoyao Wanli is not technique.

"If I were to give you advice, my advice would be to think carefully about what you want to express."

That's obviously a very abstract statement.

Even Xiaoyao Wanli felt completely confused after hearing this.

Seeing this, Chen Yang said, "Don't overthink it. Why don't you try a different approach and talk to everyone?"

"Row."

Xiaoyao Wanli nodded.

then.

He stopped dwelling on it and, like Chen Yang's fellow book lovers, decided to treat this trip as a pure vacation to relax.

"Haha, Great God Xiaoyao, you really came here to ask God Buyang for guidance."

Why would I lie to you?

"Xiaoyao, we've read your book too, and it's quite well written."

"But there's a significant difference between him and the God of Unyielding, though I don't know exactly where the difference lies. Perhaps you could offer some suggestions?"

"We don't have any opinions. We're just ordinary readers. We're afraid that giving you advice would only harm you."

"It's okay, I'm just listening."

"You can listen if you want. But I really don't have any objections. If I had to give an opinion, I do have some insights into the book of the Unexplained God."

What do you think of the books that don't praise God?

"Well, how should I put it, she's pretty novice."

"Pfft..."

Xiaoyao Wanli couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Hehe, it's Xiaobai, I won't deny that, but Xiaobai isn't the problem. What moves me most about his books, do you know what it is?"

"Youthful spirit?"

"Yes and no."

"How to say?"

"The youthful spirit is only what this book shows. What truly moved me was Bu Yangshen's attitude towards writing."

"I don't quite understand."

"It's okay, what I said may not be right."

The reader said, "I hope what I said didn't cause any misunderstanding, Master Xiaoyao. Actually, I admire you a lot too. Let's take a picture together."

"Okay."

Xiaoyao Wanli nodded.

"Bright Summit is just ahead."

Pointing ahead, Chen Yang said excitedly, "You all didn't expect this, did you? Jin Yong's Bright Peak is actually in Huangshan. Let's go, brothers, see you at the summit."

See you at the summit.

The group of book lovers excitedly echoed this sentiment.

"Charge! ... Bright Summit!"

Xiaoyao Wanli, who was on the other side, had originally planned to go to Guangming Peak as well.

Don't know why.

Chen Yang's words, "We'll meet at the summit," seemed like a wise saying, piercing straight into Xiaoyao Wanli's heart.

"What truly moved me was Bu Yangshen's attitude towards writing."

Xiaoyao Wanli couldn't help but recall what that fellow reader had said to him earlier.

He hadn't understood what that sentence meant before.

Although I don't really understand it now.

but.

Chen Yang's words, "See you at the summit," seemed to have broken through some barrier for Xiaoyao Wanli.

Isn't writing just like climbing a mountain to the summit?
See you at the summit.

At this moment, Xiaoyao Wanli seemed to have his Ren and Du meridians opened up.

He said to Chen Yang, "Master Bu Yang, I suddenly have an epiphany. I want to go back and write down my current state. I won't go up to Bright Peak."

Chen Yang turned around.

He also felt that Xiaoyao Wanli seemed to have grasped something. This kind of thing was something that writers could only come up with by chance. Nodding, Chen Yang said, "Alright, Brother Xiaoyao, then we'll meet at the summit next time."

"well said."

I was incredibly excited.

Xiaoyao Wanli bowed to the crowd and said, "Brothers, until we meet again. We'll meet at the summit next time."

The summit of Huangshan's Bright Summit, and the summit that one yearns for in one's heart to roam freely for thousands of miles.

At this moment, they overlapped.

"See you at the summit."

Watching Xiaoyao descend the mountain, the group of book lovers were filled with heroic spirit and shouted loudly.

They are just book lovers; they simply enjoy reading.

But everyone has their own peak in their heart.
