Reborn, I achieved legendary status with a single book.

"5000 million? My God, the starting bid is 5000 million."

"So it's true that the rumors at the time that DragonSnake 2 and DragonSnake 3 sold for 1 million were true."

"Of course it's true. The royalties listed on the list of richest writers are hidden. If the real royalties were reported, it would scare a lot of people."

“I object. My book should be auctioned starting at 500 million.”

"I'll start the bidding at 50."

"I'll start the bidding at 5."

"Stop arguing, I'll start the bidding at 500 yuan."

"500 yuan, that's outrageous... I'll start the bidding without asking for money."

"I'll pay you out of my own pocket."

The viewers in the live stream chatted amongst themselves from time to time.

"5000."

"6000."

"7000."

"8000."

In a blink of an eye.

The starting bid of 5000 million quickly jumped to 8000 million.

"Mr. Li, that's awesome, 8000 million."

Other company executives nearby gave a thumbs-up and said admiringly.

"What's so great about that? It's just talk. I predict the copyright price for Dragon and Snake 4 will be at least 1.5 million. Before 1.5 million, no matter how much I shout, someone will take it."

"What if there are 10,000 people willing to take over?"

"That's even better, I snagged a super big IP at a bargain price."

"high."

Such a stimulus.

Some friends who originally just came to watch the excitement are now reporting fiercely.

"9000."

"We have 1 million."

“What’s 1 million? We have 1.1 million.”

"1.2."

"1.5."

Soon.

The Dragon and Snake 4 has already fetched a high price of 1.5 million.

Here we are.

Some film and television companies that had previously jumped on the bandwagon have stopped.

If it's over 1.5 million, then you can't just shout it out casually.

Everything depends on strength.

"1.7."

Wang Changtian of the Light Source smiled and had his assistant announce a number.

"1.7 million, it seems Enlight Media is determined to win."

"Yes, it jumped by 2000 million directly."

"China Film Group was originally the most likely candidate, but it seems that China Film Group is not particularly interested in competing for it."

"That leaves only Wanda."

Everyone looked towards Wanda.

At this moment, it was Mr. Wang, the young manager of Wanda, who arrived.

"1.8."

Not to be outdone, Mr. Wang had his assistant quote a price of 1.8 million.

Wang Changchang said with a smile, "Young Mr. Wang, 1.8 million? That's the IP rights fee. If we were to actually make a film, the cost would be at least 4 million."

"Mr. Wang, I think Wanda is also good at math."

"really."

Wang Changtian nodded: "1.9 million."

Mr. Wang immediately shouted, "2 million."

Wang Changtian remained calm and said, "2.1 million."

Mr. Wang shouted again, "2.2 million."

Wang Changtian offered: "2.3 million."

Mr. Wang shouted again, "2.4 million."

This fierce competition was quite an eye-opener for everyone.

The writers in the live stream were also thrilled and their blood was boiling.

"2.4 million! This is truly an eye-opener."

"I never dreamed that a copyright would reach such a high price of 2.4 million."

"It feels a bit surreal. Is it because our work is too rubbish, or is this work just too padded?"

"Actually, there's no exaggeration. While 240 million is staggering, this Dragon and Snake 4 isn't just about Dragon and Snake. It also includes 'My Love from the Star' and 'I'm From a Billion Light Years Ago,' some of which are actually the copyrights of the three films. Furthermore, this is just what's been revealed; there are others that haven't been disclosed. Moreover, it also includes the screenwriter, Bu Yangshen."

"Damn, now that you mention it, I suddenly don't think 2.4 million is expensive at all."

"It's not that it's not expensive. 2.4 million is already extremely terrifying. If you don't handle it well, you could lose money. Look, even Wang Changtian is hesitating."

Many people watched and discussed it.

“2.4 million at a time.”

"This gentleman seems somewhat interested."

Chen Liangling looked at Wang Changtian.

Wang Changtian shook his head.

Although he really wanted DragonSnake 4.

But the copyright price is just too high.

Even if there is still some hope later.

But he didn't want to participate in this high-stakes gamble.

"2.4 billion twice."

"2.4……"

Just as Chen Liangling was about to strike for the third time.

Sudden.

The representative from China Film Group, who had been relatively quiet until now, suddenly announced a figure: "2.5 million."

This number has caught everyone's attention.

"China Film."

"What's the offer from China Film Group?"

"Isn't Grandpa Han Sanping going to retire?"

"2.5……"

Mr. Wang was also somewhat incredulous.

Looking at the representative, Mr. Wang said, "2.6 million."

Without hesitation, the representative from China Film Group offered another price: "2.7 million."

Mr. Wang clenched his fist: "Boss, 2.7 million, are you sure it's China Film's intention?"

"determine."

The representative from China Film Group nodded: "I'm just a nobody. How could I dare to make a price offer without the approval of the higher-ups?"

"I'd really like to know, what's the maximum credit line China Film Group has given you?"

"Actually, it's not much, just 3 million. If Mr. Wang's amount exceeds 3 million, then Dragon Snake 4... is yours."

"3 million, is it for real or fake?"

"Whether it's true or not, Mr. Wang, you'll know once you make an offer."

This representative from China Film Group is truly a master of auctions.

Although he hadn't said anything until now.

But this imposing presence stunned the entire audience.

Mr. Wang considered it for a moment, then shook his head.

finally.

China Film Group also acquired the rights to Dragon and Snake 4.

……

[Dragon and Snake 4's copyright auction will be held today.]

Auction master Chen Liangling personally oversaw the sale of a dragon and snake sculpture for a record-breaking 2.7 million yuan.

[China Film Group intervenes, Dragon and Snake 4.]

The news was reported on the front page of major media outlets.

at the same time.

Han Sanping also met Chen Yang at another location.

"Mr. Han, why didn't you come to the auction?"

"You know my current situation; it's not convenient for me to show my face right now."

"That Dragon Snake 4?"

"Dragon Snake 4 is my idea."

"This……"

Chen Yang was a little worried.

Selling Dragon and Snake 4 to China Film Group is not a big deal.

But if Han Sanping retires, what will happen next is truly unknown.

Without Han Sanping in charge.

Whether Dragon 4 can be filmed well is still an unknown.

Perhaps sensing Chen Pa's concerns, Han Sanping said, "Don't worry, this time the price of 2.7 million is a sure way for me to outmaneuver them. If I were to retire, I doubt anyone would dare to take on such an astronomical price."

"I see."

Upon hearing Han Sanping's explanation, Chen Yang suddenly understood. Experience truly matters.

Han Sanping has indeed reached retirement age.

But if someone manages to acquire a copyright worth a staggering 2.7 million before retirement, their successor won't be so easy to take over.

If he suffers a huge loss after taking over, it would be the biggest blow to him.

"Advantages and disadvantages".

Chen Yang also sighed.

Han Sanping shook his head: "It's really out of necessity. I don't really want to do this either. After all, I'm at retirement age, and there's no need to keep sitting in this position. But the domestic film industry is just starting to develop, and I'm really afraid to let go. I'm afraid that they'll ruin this hard-won good situation. So, I want to work for another 5 years. After 5 years, I don't care who takes over."

"Mr. Han, that's great."

Chen Yang nodded as well.

This is the most crucial moment for domestic films.

Once we charge forward...

Even if Hollywood blockbusters come in the future, we will not be afraid.

This trend is even emerging now.

Just like Chen Yang's Dragon and Snake 3.
They beat Captain America black and blue back then.

And it's not just Dragon Snake 3.
Other domestic films are also aiming for the 10 billion yuan box office mark.

"In that case, I would like to congratulate Director Han once again on his return to the throne."

"Get lost, are you laughing at me? You little brat, you've already sold a record-breaking 2.7 million at this auction."

"It's your fault for not making an offer earlier. Given our relationship, if you had made an offer back then, I would have sold it to you for 2 million."

"I already said, I couldn't bid at the time. Even if I had, those guys would probably have accused me of rigging the deal. They might even have thought 2 million was an astronomical price, and that the auction price was actually quite good. It drove those guys away, and at the same time, everyone in the country was watching that price, so no one dared to say anything."

"In that case, they should have found a shill to get 3 million back then."

"You little brat, you want a beating, don't you?"

"Haha, just kidding. Don't worry, Director Han, I have confidence in Dragon and Snake 4."

"I am also very confident about the World Martial Arts Tournament."

Han Sanping nodded seriously.

……

The sale of the rights to Dragon and Snake 4 is arguably the biggest thing Chen Yang has done recently.

However, Chen Yang owns many copyrights.

He has written many novels.

Even though I've already made several small fortunes, I still have a lot of books to write.

For example, Chen Yang has been serializing "A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality".

Meanwhile, on the other side, Penguin acquired the old station.

At this point, Qidian and Chuangshi also became one company.

Chen Yang's novel "A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality," which was originally serialized on Qidian.com, has now officially returned to its starting point after a series of procedures and formalities.

have to say.

On the day "A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality" appeared on Qidian.com.

The book fans were all dumbfounded.

"Is this Bu Yangshen's new book, 'A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality'

"Holy crap, he wrote hundreds of thousands of words in one go! How come I didn't know when he published the book?"

"Wow, it's beautiful, so beautiful."

"Bu Yang Shen is awesome, he has created another school of thought."

The book reviews on Qidian.com for "A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality" were filled with admiration from many readers.

This is for some long-time die-hard fans.

They, however, were laughing uncontrollably on the sidelines.

Chen Yang, however, thought it was normal.

The internet world is vast.

Although Chen Yang is very famous, others can't keep an eye on your every move.

Many people know that Chen Yang went to Genesis.

But for many book lovers who don't join groups, don't chat, and don't care about the circle of friends... how would they know so much?

They were already considered very loyal fans if they could even remember Chen Yang's pen name.

of course.

"A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality" was released before the creation of the world.

Therefore, "A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality" was also released on Qidian.com and included a VIP membership.

Although "A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality" hasn't been advertised much on Qidian yet.

He could use the pen name "Unremarkable in appearance".

On the same day, the number of subscriptions for "A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality" exceeded 1.

The price rose another 1 the next day, reaching an average of 2.

On the third day, 3 million.

4 on the fourth day.

5 on the fifth day.

It wasn't until five days later that the average concentration gradually decreased.

However, industry insiders predict...

One month later.

The average number of views for "A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality" will definitely exceed 10.

……

On SkyNet, Xiao Chao interviewed Chen Yang.

Talk about it.

Chen Yang hasn't given an interview to Sky News in a long time.

Chen Yang has a very good impression of SkyNet.

Although everyone says that Chen Yang has already broken through the dimensional barrier and doesn't need to be on SkyNet at all.

But Chen Yang has always considered himself an online novelist.

SkyNet is a place where many online writers gather.

Chen Yang often reads the posts made by various users on SkyNet.

Chen Yang did not refuse Xiao Chao's invitation to visit again, and was even a little excited.

"Bu Yangshen, this is another interview with you. Time flies. It seems like just yesterday you were only making a small name for yourself on Sky.com. Now, a few years later, you've become the number one online writer in China."

"Xiao Chao, saying all this... makes me feel proud."

"Be proud, no one is envious of your pride, because no one can reach your level anyway. First of all, congratulations to you, Dragon and Snake 4 sold its copyright for 2.7 million, and the average subscription of Mortal Cultivation has exceeded 5. Congratulations, congratulations, another record has been set."

"Thank you."

"Could you talk about your understanding of online literature over the years?"

"This is a very broad topic."

“It is very big… Then let me try another way. Do you think there will be anyone in the future who can become a top writer like you?”

"must."

"But many people think it's impossible. They feel that even if everyone's writing style, thoughts, and ideas are the same as yours... it's impossible for another unremarkable person to emerge."

"That's too pessimistic. Actually, in my writing over the years, I've often relied on luck."

"Yes, people say that luck is also a kind of strength. Moreover, it's hard for others to encounter this kind of luck."

"That's not necessarily true. Every era has its own opportunities. If we look back at the history of online literature, there have been huge opportunities every few years. For example, the 3G wireless era, and Dangdang's book became a bestseller. Another example is the emergence of new websites and the omnichannel approach developed by Chuangshi. And now, with IP copyright, not only me, but many other authors have also gained huge benefits. These benefits are not because the authors' level has improved so much, but because they are a reward from heaven."

"As for the future... he will still appear. It depends on whether we can seize the opportunity. Moreover, an opportunity has already arisen."

"You mean new media, not divine intervention?"

"Correct."

How to write articles for new media?

"It's hard to say. To put it simply, it has some similarities to 3G wireless bookstores, but it's also different. New media users may be more down-to-earth."

"I still don't quite understand."

"It's okay. I'll write a book later, and then everyone will know what new media online literature is."

"Bu Yangshen, it's really great to have you set an example. When will the book be released? How about in the next couple of days?"

"Ahem...that works too."

"You are truly..."

Xiao Chao gave Chen Yang a thumbs up: "In that case, I won't interview you anymore. I'll wait for your new book."

Chen Yang's new books always attract a lot of attention.

Not to mention.

At this point, Chen Yang mentioned new media.

Yes.

In his previous life, as smartphones became increasingly advanced, a completely new type of online literature emerged.

This type of online article is called new media article, or new media online article.

What is called new media online literature is actually still online literature.

However, the place where he serialized his work was not an ordinary online bookstore.

For example, WeChat official accounts, QQ Browser, forums, certain pages you browse... anywhere your phone can access the internet.

These online articles may not have high subscription rates on the main website.

They were even criticized and ridiculed.

but.

He displayed an incredibly explosive side across various new media platforms.

very beginning.

Naturally, no one knows how to write this kind of new media online article.

until.

After the appearance of the Crooked-Mouthed Dragon King...

New media has completely exploded! (End of Chapter)
