Reborn, I achieved legendary status with a single book.

Since the development of online literature over the past 20 years.

He is constantly evolving.

Each work that evolved over time is, relatively speaking, superior to his earlier works.

The reason for this is innovation.

In addition to the innovative setting, it also includes innovations in various aspects such as plot, structure, and writing style.

This is why the previous online novels were clearly classic.

Looking back in a few years, you'll find it hard to look back.

It's not that their books have gotten worse.

Rather, it's that our standards have risen.

This is like a groundbreaking work like "Journey to the West," which you absolutely cannot bear to watch again if you go back to it.

The same applies to other online articles.

Although "The Dragon King's Son-in-Law" doesn't offer much innovation in the specific settings of its martial arts techniques.

But in terms of expressing emotions and stories, he is absolutely top-notch.

Just like the saying, "The three-year period has come to an end; we respectfully welcome the Dragon King back to his throne."

His words caused an uproar among countless readers.

"The three-year period has come to an end. We respectfully welcome the Dragon King back to his throne. How wonderful!"

"The protagonist's three-year term has come to an end. He will no longer hold back. The Su family will definitely be slapped in the face."

"It feels somewhat like the saying 'Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river,' and 'Never underestimate a young man's potential.'"

"Yes, but it's even more satisfying than that. After all, when he said that back then, Xiao Yan's abilities were still very limited, and no one believed in him. He had to wait another three years. But now it's different. The three-year period has ended, and the protagonist can immediately retaliate and prove them wrong."

"That's right. I think the power of this line lies in the fact that it clearly tells the protagonist, and also tells us readers, that the face-slapping is about to begin. Moreover, it's a very iconic and exciting line. From now on, if you want to see face-slapping or showing off, all you need to do is say, 'The three-year period has come to an end, welcome back the Dragon King...'"

"In this sense, this statement needs to break out of its niche."

"Ahem, it's already broken into the mainstream."

The influence of online literature is now even more terrifying than before.

In the PC era, although there were many people reading online novels, there were few platforms for them to voice their opinions.

The main platforms for expressing opinions have been controlled by mainstream media.

People wanted to express their opinions and comments, but no mainstream media outlets noticed.

No matter how loudly or clearly you speak, it's useless.

But with the rise of smartphones.

More and more self-media platforms are emerging.

Such as blogs, microblogs, WeChat Moments, video websites, Kuaishou, etc.

All of these need to be uploaded by netizens themselves.

then.

More down-to-earth videos, news articles, and quotes that people like can spread more quickly.

Not to mention.

Chen Yang's own fame.

The line, "The three-year period has come to an end; we respectfully welcome the Dragon King back to his throne," is spoken.

There's no need to trust recommendations... yet countless netizens have already spontaneously shared them.

Or perhaps it wasn't a repost.

They felt that this sentence was not just a line from a novel, but also represented the sentiments of a group of book lovers.

At the same time.

It was also because of this one sentence that broke out of its niche.

Chen Yang's new book, "The Dragon King's Son-in-Law," has once again seen an explosion in the number of book collections.

70 favorites.

80 favorites.

90 favorites.

100 favorites.

Yes.

It's only been half a month.

"The Dragon King's Son-in-Law" has garnered 100 million favorites on Qidian, breaking the record for the fastest new book to reach 100 million favorites on Qidian.

……

"Chen Yang, what were you thinking? How could you write a story about a son-in-law who lives with his wife's family?"

"Authors are just prone to wild imaginations, aren't they? Oh, Master Hanxiao, you're reading My Dragon King Son-in-Law too?"

"Look, I see a lot of people watching. I'll let you in on a secret, even my dad is watching."

"Pfft..."

Chen Yang was also somewhat surprised by Li Hanxiao.

I never imagined that self-media would develop so quickly.

This is not.

Even elderly people are starting to read these books.

No wonder.

There are just too many self-media platforms available now.

Older people didn't used to read online novels.

However, once such online articles are published, even the elderly cannot resist such an onslaught.

Naturally, they also became readers of the book "Dragon King's Son-in-Law".

Chen Yang flipped through it again.

He also discovered.

Some self-media platforms have already started charging for "The Dragon King's Son-in-Law".

Yes.

You probably won't believe it.

He only has 3 free chapters.

He started charging after three chapters.

The price per chapter is even relatively high.

This made Chen Yang feel somewhat uneasy.

But even so.

Chen Yang looked at the crowd and saw that the people who were paying were coming in waves.

As for your question, if the price is so exorbitant and high, why don't people watch pirated versions?

Uh.

It's not that they support genuine products or anything like that.

For the time being, a group of elderly people don't seem to have any intention of supporting legitimate products.

Why are they willing to pay?

The main problem is that they don't know how to find pirated copies.

cough cough...

Don't doubt it.

When smartphones were just becoming popular.

Not only do they not know how to find pirated software, they're not even very familiar with how to operate a smartphone.

then.

Many new media writers made their first fortune through this kind of unbridled development.

Although this may seem somewhat problematic.

But looking at the development of the internet in China, this is actually the case.

In the PC era, it also experienced the same kind of unbridled growth.

"Damn it, hurry up and update! It cost me over ten yuan in one go."

"Grandpa, I have a pension. Please update soon, I love it."

"Xiao Chen is a real man. I love this kind of show-off and face-slapping. That bitch Su Qing, beat her whole family to death."

"The three-year period has come to an end, and I was writing with great passion. I wish I could have done this when I was younger."

"Welcome back, Dragon King! I am the Dragon King! My children, quickly welcome me back..."

Countless comments followed.

"By the way, Master Hanxiao, how's your video coming along?"

"good."

"How many fans does he/she have?"

"500."

"Wow, are there that many?"

"Nono, look..."

Li Hanxiao took out her phone and showed her number of followers.

one look.

No more, no less, exactly 500 million.

"Wow, impressive."

Chen Yang gave Li Hanxiao a thumbs up.
Li Hanxiao said with a touch of pride, "That's right, everyone calls me the Ambassador of Chinese Culture."

"Hello Ambassador, could you help me shoot a short video?"

"It depends on my mood."

"How are you feeling?"

"What do you say?"

A fierce and complex battle ensued.

Li Hanxiao was in a good mood: "Hmm, not bad. Tell me, what kind of short video do you want to shoot?"

"The Crooked-Mouthed Dragon King".

"What crooked-mouthed dragon king?"

"It's about the Dragon King's son-in-law. I'm planning to shoot a short promotional video for 'The Dragon King's Son-in-Law' to promote my work."

"That's great, they've even thought of using videos to promote your novel."

"Isn't this normal? Videos are becoming more and more popular now, and watching videos is easier than reading text."

"Okay, when do we start filming?"

"tomorrow."

"it is good."

Li Hanxiao agreed.

the other side.

Chen Yang, however, immediately began writing the script for the promotional video of "The Dragon King's Son-in-Law".

The so-called promotional video was actually just a short drama script. Although Chen Yang lost money making short dramas in his previous life, his scripts were still quite good.

Meanwhile, Chen Yang lost money in his previous life because of the time he spent in the short drama.

By then, the market was already very volatile, so we lost money.

At that time, short dramas had not yet been formed, and people did not have this impression.

Chen Yang was the first to come up with this, and even if he didn't make money from the videos, it was definitely a refreshing surprise.

That day's time.

Chen Yang wrote a script for a seven-episode short promotional video.

As for why it happened so quickly...

The main problem is that short plays are inherently short.

Each episode's script is approximately 500 words long and lasts 2-3 minutes, or even less.

The other characters are also rather stereotypical, basically just plot devices.

The promotion of short dramas doesn't rely on acting skills, but on the appeal of the plot and emotions.

Of course, the short dramas will likely become more and more high-quality in the future.

However, most short dramas are generally poorly produced.

The more refined your product, the greater the chance of it failing.

Chen Yang had suffered this kind of loss in his previous life.

Because sometimes he also felt that many short dramas were too awkward to act, he strived for perfection when he was making short dramas.

As a result, the cost of the rear camera was double that of others, but the efficiency was less than half that of others.

Chen Yang has now learned from the lessons of his past life.

He didn't care about professionalism or quality; he was just going to take some random, random photos.

"So professional."

the next day.

Chen Yang was taken aback when he saw Li Hanxiao leading a large group of people over.

However, Li Hanxiao's development in recent years has been remarkable.

Although Li Hanxiao filmed by herself at the beginning.

But slowly.

The videos they shoot are getting better and better, and they are becoming more professional in all aspects.

Despite being a professional, Li Hanxiao mostly shoots and edits her own videos.

In her words.

What we need is something down-to-earth.

"Okay, let's do it this way..."

Chen Yang has produced short dramas before.

At the same time, I have gained some understanding of film and television production over the years.

With Li Hanxiao's team coming over, Chen Yang made rapid progress in all aspects.

As for the male lead, they simply chose someone who was decent-looking.

As for his claim that he can't act...

If you can't, you can't.

But I don't need you to be too good at it.

Just follow the script.

"Xiao Chen, there's no place for you at the dinner table."

"A son-in-law who lives with his wife's family should eat after we have finished eating."

"shoot……"

One slap.

Li Hanxiao stared in disbelief: "Chen Yang, slapping someone in the face like that in public is too humiliating."

"is a bit."

"Should I still slap him?"

"Hit him, hit him a few more times."

In fact, Chen Yang didn't understand why the characters in the short drama were slapping each other so often.

However, since everyone was doing it, Chen Yang did it too.

He doesn't want to make money from short dramas.

It's just a promotion.

This time, Chen Yang followed his own whims and filmed however he wanted.

in this way.

This shooting efficiency is also very high.

There are seven episodes in total.

Chen Yang completed the filming in just one day.

……

"Bu Yang Shen is truly amazing."

"Yes, this influence has created another school of thought: the live-in son-in-law school."

"Haha, the son-in-law genre, huh?"

"I'm going to talk about the live-in son-in-law trend. Most people don't know what a live-in son-in-law means."

"Alright, alright, live-in son-in-law it is. I've seen a whole bunch of live-in son-in-law types now. But their stats don't seem very good."

"That's normal. The 'non-divine' school of thought never just creates a new genre; gimmicks alone can't make someone a top master. Other classic scenes and plots... are incredibly awesome."

"Yeah, I'm studying the plot points that Bu Yang Shen has been writing recently. For example, before, the Great Mother's family always looked down on him, but now everything the protagonist Xiao Chen does is incredibly satisfying."

"And then there's that hotel black card thing. Although it seems like a shady way to show off, it's quite entertaining to read."

"Hahaha, the Su family still thinks Xiao Chen is just that live-in son-in-law, but little does he know, all those important figures want to see Xiao Chen. What's even more ridiculous is that Young Master Ye actually likes to make wild guesses, saying that these important figures are here to support him. As a result, I peed my pants several times after being slapped so many times."

"Sigh, you guys, you actually enjoy watching such blatant bragging and face-slapping."

"Please forgive my shallowness, I just like watching it."

"Okay, I like watching it too."

No one is that refined.

Even the most elegant things still need to be grounded in reality.

Chen Yang's novel, "The Dragon King's Son-in-Law," is incredibly down-to-earth.

At the same time, Chen Yang further promoted and developed the urban pretentious face-slapping plot in all aspects.

The plot of healing and saving lives in the city is perfectly embodied in "The Dragon King's Son-in-Law".

There's also a storyline where someone is looked down upon for frequenting high-end hotels, only to later discover that the hotel is actually owned by Xiao Chen.

And Xiao Chen, whom all the wealthy families look down on, is actually the big boss behind them.

People used this kind of plot before and didn't want to use it anymore.

But to my surprise, using it now still feels incredibly good.

but.

While everyone was constantly studying "The Dragon King's Son-in-Law"

One reader on SkyNet shouted, "Brothers, look! The Dragon King's Son-in-Law has exploded again!"

"Didn't it explode a long time ago? It already has 100 million favorites."

"It's 110 million now."

"Holy crap, it gained another 10 favorites?"

"Correct."

Everyone was stunned.

It's true that comparing yourself to others makes you feel thwarted.

Other people's collections increase by several at a time.

Even if it gets recommended, it will only gain a few thousand favorites in a day.

Look at how they don't flaunt their divine status.

The number of favorites increases by 100,000.

No.

Today, it's not just gained 10 more favorites, it's gained 20.

No.

30 favorites.

"130 favorites".

Looking at the collection rankings, the Dragon King's Son-in-Law's popularity continued to soar, leaving everyone dumbfounded.

"It has been added to 140 million collections."

"My God, how many unremarkable recommendations did Qidian give them?"

"There have been no recommendations for 'The Dragon King's Son-in-Law' these past two days."

"Why did it explode if there were no recommendations?"

"I do not know either."

This situation also shocked the Qidian editorial department.

It gained 40 favorites in one day.

Even the line from "The Dragon King's Son-in-Law" that went viral after three years had passed didn't reach this level.

It's not just the starting point.

News also came from various self-media channels that orders for "The Dragon King's Son-in-Law" were pouring in like snowflakes.

There's even a personal WeChat public account with only a few hundred followers.

It's because he took the job for "The Dragon King's Son-in-Law".

On that day, more than 1 people submitted subscription requests to his WeChat official account.

"No, there must be another reason."

This level of sensation goes far beyond simply breaking into new circles.

Just as the sword was about to be used to investigate.

soon.

The raccoon, however, scrolled through a short video.

The three-year period has ended; we respectfully welcome the Dragon King back to his throne.

This time it's not just a text version.

It's a video with both sound and visuals.

The man in black, whose back was to the camera, slowly turned around and gave a crooked smile.

boom……

The sensation surrounding "The Dragon King's Son-in-Law" extends beyond its written form.

His appearance dealt a heavy blow to the entire video industry. (End of Chapter)
