Reborn, I achieved legendary status with a single book.

Chapter 182 Chen Yang's monthly royalties: 78. (Please subscribe)
"China Mobile is accelerating its efforts, with four more provinces joining the effort."

"I wonder how much the channel fee will be next month."

"I heard there will be a surprise."

time flies.

In a blink of an eye.

It ended in May.

However, the date for calculating royalties is not the 1st of the month, but the 2nd.

But right now, on the 1st, countless netizens are already discussing it heatedly.

"Brothers, if I get paid for my writing tomorrow, I'll post a screenshot of it on SkyNet."

"Yeah, I'll also post one, but I don't know how much the channel fee will be."

"Haha, it seems my book has been published on a streaming platform. It looks like it has hundreds of comments. I wonder how much royalties I'll get."

Compared to the royalties offered by the platform.

The channel fees for mobile wireless reading have always been very attractive.

The reason.

On the one hand, the royalties on Qidian (the website's online platform) can be statistically analyzed.

Even if Qidian doesn't calculate it for you, you can calculate it yourself by following the subscription and applying a certain formula.

If it's movable, then the calculation is unknown.

There are some blind box openings.

Whatever the opening price is, that's what it is.

of course.

There might be some surprises.

After all, although the channel fee has not yet been announced, some people on the China Mobile side have leaked some information.

This has made everyone even more excited.

"Ding-dang, check your royalties tomorrow!"

Many people in the group tagged Dangdang.

The main reason is that Dangdang seems to be performing well on the China Mobile side.

Although no channel fees have been paid, there are already more than 1000 comments.

From this point of view.

Dangdang's channel fees are definitely not low.

"Okay, if it comes out tomorrow, I'll post it in the group chat and see if we want to continue working at the factory."

……

The next day, the 2nd.

The group of author friends got up early.

On SkyNet, a group of authors were already sitting on small stools, waiting for screenshots of their royalties.

"Hasn't it been sent yet? Hasn't it been sent yet? I can't wait any longer."

"Yeah, my book wasn't on the mobile network yet. They said it'll be in the second batch. I'm so envious."

"The data won't be available until 10 o'clock."

"I know, it's because I'm in a hurry."

In a blink of an eye.

Arrived at 10 o'clock.

On SkyNet, someone immediately posted a screenshot of his royalties.

"Haha, I'll be the first one, let me break the news."

This author friend was the first to share a screenshot of his royalties.

His royalties for May were 500 yuan, of which 400 yuan came from Qidian's main website.

The 100 yuan is the channel fee.

"A channel fee of 100 yuan doesn't seem like much."

Many authors clicked on it and seemed somewhat disappointed.

"Dude, 100 yuan is still money. Besides, you should look at this author's performance on Qidian. He only earns 400 yuan in royalties on Qidian, and 100 yuan in distribution fees is already pretty good."

"That's right, that's right. 100 yuan isn't much, but 100 is 100. Even 50 yuan would be good, let alone 100."

"That's right, let's take a look at the others."

then.

Many other authors have also been exposed.

But a pity.

The fees they reported were mostly one or two hundred yuan, with the highest being only 500 yuan.

The lowest price is only around ten yuan.

"No way, the highest price is only a few hundred yuan."

"Sigh, I was really looking forward to China Mobile, but it seems like a lot of people were just fooling us."

"Well, forget it. We'll stick to Qidian's main site. Channel fees like these are fine if they come, but it doesn't really matter if they don't."

The more they read, the more frustrated the authors became.

However, some veteran online writers don't think so.

"I think some authors who receive high royalties are unwilling to disclose their identities."

"Well, if it were me, I wouldn't be too willing to publish it if I received a lot of royalties."

"These items that cost tens or hundreds of dollars... it doesn't matter, we're just using them to have some fun."

"Any guys willing to be generous? We really want to know how much the actual mobile channel fees are."

The SkyNet website remains as lively as ever.

at last.

Amid the anticipation of many fellow authors, one author stepped forward: "Alright, brothers, I'll reveal something. I didn't originally intend to, but I thought that Bu Yangshen has already set a good example. We are all authors, and authors should help each other, so I'll reveal my May royalties."

After the author friend finished speaking, he uploaded a screenshot of the payment for the manuscript.

of course.

To protect himself, he concealed his book title and author name, only revealing screenshots of royalties.

As can be seen from the screenshot.

The author's total royalties were 7000.

The royalty rate on the Qidian main site is 2000.

On the mobile channel side, it reached 5000.

"5000, wow, finally a big one."

"I knew it! With such a large mobile user base and such convenient payment methods, it's impossible that the royalties are only a few dozen or a few hundred yuan."

"The main site only pays 2000 yuan, but the mobile site pays 5000 yuan for articles... I'm so envious."

"Hey, are there any other experts here? I want to see."

If there is a first place, there will be a second.

then.

Many more authors have reported receiving royalties.

In here.

It's not that every author's channel fee reaches 5000.

But it's much better than the first batch of leaked cases that only cost tens or hundreds of yuan.

Following this author friend who paid 5000 yuan in channel fees, other author friends revealed that their channel fees were all above 1000 yuan.

Most of them cost between 2000 and 3000 yuan.

even.

Another person earned 1 yuan in channel fees.

The highest was 17,000, which brought SkyNet to a climax.

……

"Ta-da! Ta-da! The payment for your article is in! How much is yours?"

In the group of new authors, many of them were asking Dangdang questions.

Dangdang sat in front of the computer, his hands trembling slightly: "Sorry, guys, I haven't dared to watch it yet."

"What's there to be afraid of watching? Is it just a few dollars in distribution fees?"

"They're crazy. They don't even look at Dangdang's performance on mobile. It's bound to be a hit."

Thirty-two said, "Ta-da, if I had to guess, it should be 1 yuan."

"I think it should be at least 8000."

"I think it's possible that it could reach 12,000."

"Ding ding, hurry up, let us see this."

I watched as everyone in the group chat started talking from time to time.

Dangdang took three deep breaths and then clicked on the royalty check.

"I……"

Looking at the data that popped up in the background, Dangdang's eyes widened in disbelief.

"Dangdang, what's wrong?"

"Ding ding, send me a screenshot."

"Dangdang..."

Thousands of calls.

Dangdang suppressed her excitement, then concealed the book title and author's name before posting the screenshot.

58,800.

Ok.

This is Dangdang's payment for the manuscript.

"I……"

"Ta-da, are my eyes playing tricks on me?"

"Dangdang, you're famous! You're really famous!"

In the group of new authors, a group of authors screamed.

……

"Brothers, I saw a channel offering 5 yuan in royalties."

“I saw it too, 5! That guy only gets 800 in royalties on Qidian.”

"Honestly, when I saw that screenshot, I felt like my eyes were going to be blinded."

Dangdang's data is 58,000.

This really spurred a lot of writers in the industry.

The author, Dangdang, was so moved that tears welled up in her eyes.

He sat in front of the computer.

Looking at the rented room in front of me.

Looking at that window with three broken panes of glass.

Looking at the dense spots on the wall.

Who could have known? Dangdang was writing in such an environment.

"Thanks, brothers. I need to calm down first."

Dangdang said in the group chat.

He left the rented room.

He ran quickly.

After running for 5 kilometers, Dangdang arrived at a place he usually liked to stay in.

A bridge arch.

Yes.

Dangdang once stayed overnight in this bridge archway.

At that time, Dangdang had no money at all, and in desperation, he slept under a bridge for one night.

Although he recovered slightly with the help of friends.

But he never forgot that bridge arch.

He once swore an oath.

He's determined to make something of himself.

Just a pity.

Reality has dealt Dangdang blow after blow.

Fortunately, Dangdang persevered.

until today.

Dangdang wouldn't dare say she's succeeded.

But the monthly royalties of 5 yuan brought him great hope.

he thinks.

His life is about to change.

……

"Brothers, has anyone else revealed the channel fees?"

"Yes, there are, but all less than 5."

"Yeah, that 50,000 really shocked everyone. It seems like May is only half a month long."

"Yes, the mobile wireless reading base opened in mid-April, and it's only been open for less than half a month. If it had been open for a month, that guy's channel fees would probably have exceeded 10."

Many authors were genuinely shocked by the 5 yuan channel fee.

of course.

They know it too.

A channel fee of 5 yuan may not be the highest in the industry.

Some top-tier authors, platinum-level writers... their monthly royalties are more than 5 yuan.

But a pro is a pro, and a platinum player is a platinum player.

But they knew.

This author who reportedly received 5 yuan in royalties is a very ordinary author.

You could even say he's a flop author.

The top players and platinum players are all high and mighty.

How many people in China are considered "gods" or "platinum level"?
The 5 yuan payment from Dangdang made them feel a great sense of identification.

They may not be as good as the pros or the platinum level players.

But they can still be compared to Dangdang.

Dangdang can receive 5 yuan in channel royalties.

They unconsciously thought that maybe next time it would be them.

……

"Thank you, thank you so much."

Back in her rented apartment, Dangdang immediately sent a message to Chen Yang.

Yes.

What he felt most deeply was Chen Yang.

Simultaneously.

He also tipped Chen Yang's new book with a "League Master" award.

Chen Yang was somewhat taken aback: "Dingdang, what's going on?"

Dangdang clasped his hands in thanks and said, "Bu Yangda, thank you so much. Without you, I might have starved to death."

"How could you starve to death? We're all friends. Congratulations, congratulations! Hard work pays off, I saw your payment."

Chen Yangchao gave a thumbs up.

Online novels are full of countless miracles.

This is just like the early days of pioneering the internet.

Don't worry about whether everyone here is lucky or talented.

That's how he achieved those results.

seriously.

Chen Yang was very happy for Dangdang.

He didn't think it was just good luck.

Perhaps it was luck, but why not you?

Think about it.

If Dangdang doesn't persist, if Dangdang leaves like everyone else...

Will the 5 yuan channel fee still apply?

Chen Yang, however, thought so.

Rather than attributing this 5 yuan in royalties to luck, it's more accurate to say it's a reward from heaven for those who persevere.

"Keep it up, Dangdang! 5 this month, and try to break 10 next month."

"Okay, I won't be arrogant. I will definitely study hard."

"No, you shouldn't study anymore."

"what?"

Dangdang was somewhat puzzled.

Chen Yang said, "Keep your current style. If you start learning from other people, you might not be suitable for the mobile market."

"Can……"

"Don't be so sure. Many people don't understand the mobile market, and don't think that just because you're a novice writer, you can improve. Honestly, if you had written something better, you might not have achieved this result."

"I don't understand why they don't flaunt their greatness."

"It's okay if you don't understand. Just remember what I said. Don't worry about studying right now, and don't read other people's books. Just write whatever you want, however you want. Even if you think it's bad, that's fine. Make money with this book first, and then you can think about other things."

"Okay, I'll listen to you, Bu Yangda."

Dangdang touched his head.

Although he still couldn't figure it out, he absolutely trusted Chen Yang's judgment.

……

"Hey guys, does anyone know about Bu Yangda's royalties?"

"I don't know. What's wrong? How much is Bu Yang's royalties?"

"I don't know either, but I think it's definitely more than 5."

"Nonsense, even without a prominent starting point, the royalties would be more than 5."

"I know... I heard that Bu Yangda's new book is very popular on Mobile, but I don't know how popular it is. I really want to see a screenshot of Bu Yangda's royalties on the back end."

"If you ask me, it would be at least 20."

"It's definitely 200,000, the starting point alone is over 100,000. No, it's possible that the starting point alone is 200,000, after all, there were a lot of alliance leaders like Bu Yangshen last month."

"If that's the case, then I'd guess 30."

"I'd guess 40."

"I'd guess 50."

"500,000 is impossible. If the starting price is 200,000, does that mean the mobile version is 300,000? You know, that's 20% of the royalties."

"Uh, I'm just guessing. Who knows how much it is? It would be best if Yang Shen could reveal it."

"Forget it, someone of Bu Yangda's level wouldn't bother coming here to offer free manuscript fees for no reason."

"That's true too."

Many people sighed.

but.

They were wrong.

Chen Yang naturally didn't make much of a splash in the past.

He felt it was unnecessary, and revealing the author's fee would easily attract hatred.

But after appearing on the list of China's richest writers... Chen Yang's views changed a lot.

Sometimes online novel authors are just too low-key.

You are so low-key that even though you are already very capable, the outside world still knows very little about you.

Just like the list of China's richest writers.

Although Chen Yang's 1400 million is not much for those wealthy people.

But a royalties of 1400 million yuan would make 99% of people choose to shut up.

At this time, online literature was still in its early stages of development.

The industry desperately needs a representative figure to represent the online literature field.

If it were in a past life.

People might choose Tang San, Tomato, or Chen Dong.

but now……

Who else but me!

Think about it.

Chen Yang logged into the author's backend and took a screenshot of the royalty amount.

then.

Chen Yang logged into his SkyNet account.

"Brothers, didn't you all want to see my royalties? Okay, here he comes..."

Say it.

Chen Yang directly posted a screenshot of the royalties.

It's not 30.

It's not 40.

It's not 50 either.

It's 70.

To be precise, it is 783566.36 yuan.

78万3千5百66块，3毛6。
