Reborn, I achieved legendary status with a single book.

"Brothers, I heard that Bu Yang Shen's monthly royalties are over 6000 million."

"What are you listening to? Even the God of Unyielding has posted screenshots of his royalties on SkyNet."

"Holy crap, it's real!"

"It really couldn't be truer."

The screenshot showing a royalty payment of over 6000 million yuan truly shocked the entire industry.

"I'm thinking, even the founder of Qidian might not make as much money as Bu Yangshen."

"No need to think about it, absolutely not. Baojian would probably be spitting blood if he saw this number. I, the dignified site manager of Qidian, actually earn less than Buyangshen."

"There's no way around it, Bu Yangshen has completely transcended the circle. Look at the composition of his royalties: subscription royalties only account for one-third, and the remaining two-thirds come from IP copyrights."

"Yes, there's also a share of the profits from related merchandise."

Many people were shocked by the number of over 6000 million.

Simultaneously.

They are also studying the components of Chen Yang's royalties.

In terms of total royalties.

Chen Yang's electronic subscription royalties accounted for one-third of his income, reaching 2000 million yuan.

The most outrageous one was "The Dragon King's Son-in-Law," which reached 1290 million views.

The remaining amount is 300 million for "A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality".

Battle Through the Heavens, 200 million.

The world is vast, numbering 50.

Swords, come! 100 million.

Dragon and snake, 50.

In addition, there are other works by Chen Yang that he has previously published, such as "Back to My Youth", "I Have a Pretending-to-Be-Beat-the-Face System", "Rising to Prominence", "I Am an All-Round Superstar", etc.

Among these works, "The Dragon King's Son-in-Law" has the highest subscription fee, but it is not the most valuable work.

It was mainly because we caught a good opportunity.

Once new media channels exploded in popularity and recommendations were made, people were able to reap the benefits.

As for the 300 million yuan for "A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality", he can keep eating it.

It's like the movie "Battle Through the Heavens".

It's been several years since the book was completed, but I still make around 200 million every month. I can't imagine how great that is.

Another important component is the various copyright fees.

And the revenue sharing of various works' copyrights.

For example, the copyright revenue sharing of the Doupo anime.

Copyright revenue sharing for Dragon and Snake merchandise, etc.

Besides.

There was also a royalties payment that drew everyone's attention.

"A million US dollars, what is that?"

It's in the details of the royalties.

This is the first time everyone has seen royalties paid in US dollars.

"They're getting paid in US dollars for their articles now?"

"I wonder where this dollar royalty came from?"

"Is it possible that our online novels have entered the global market?"

This $100 million royalty payment has once again stirred up a lot of onlookers.

After all, compared to other copyrights and such.

Everyone already knew that.

But this was the first time anyone had ever seen a manuscript fee in US dollars.

At the same time, such a dollar-denominated fee for a manuscript has sparked much speculation.

In their words.

Chen Yang has already started earning US dollar royalties.

Does the future mean they can do it too?
If that's the case... then this will be another huge market.

"Editor... what's with the dollar-denominated royalties for 'The God of Literature'?"

Is it the cost of publishing in Southeast Asia without the God of War?

"Captain Ju, I'd like to ask about the dollar manuscript fee from the Unsung God."

A stone stirred up a thousand waves.

It's not just some ordinary authors.

Some top authors are also interested in this dollar-denominated royalty.

However, the starting point is keeping it quite secret, saying that they will announce the news in a few days.

A few days later.

Qidian officially released the announcement.

Qidian officially launched Qidian International.

A number of online novels by Qidian authors will be translated and entered the international market.

When this news came out, all the authors almost peed their pants again.

"Qidian International Station, English version, French version, German version, Spanish version."

"Wow, our online novels have really entered the international market?"

"Yes, this time it's for real. Apparently, there are quite a few users on Qidian International Station, and everyone settles their reading fees directly in US dollars."

"Even without praising God, I still want to earn US dollars."

"I suddenly remembered what Bu Yangshen said in his online novel 'West Lake Sword Debate'."

He said that online literature can also go overseas and enter the global market in the future.

“I remember it too. I think I complained at the time, saying that works like online novels, which are so simplistic, are fine for us to read, at most some friends in Southeast Asia might read them, how could they possibly enter the international market.”

"You're wrong now, aren't you?"

"I was wrong. My face was slapped so hard by the God of Unyielding today. But no matter how much I was slapped by the God of Unyielding today, I'm still very excited."

“I’m very excited. We’re the first to not look up to God, and we’ll be the second in the future.”

"Yes, we will enter the international market together in the future."

“go”.

Everyone encouraged each other.

immediately.

News about Qidian International Station also appears from time to time.

"Let me tell you. I studied in the United States. A few years ago, online novels appeared here, but at that time there was no Qidian International Station. There was a website called Wuxia World, which serialized some martial arts novels and the like. Later, it gradually became like a domestic pirate website and started serializing a bunch of domestic online novels."

"Oh, wait a minute, domestic online novels are in Chinese, so foreigners can read Chinese too?"

"No, it's translation. There are some online novel enthusiasts here who voluntarily translate some works. Currently, the most translated works are by Bu Yangshen, which started as an individual translation. Gradually, they discovered that the traffic was very high after the translation, so a translation team was formed here, and they can get a certain amount of money for each word translated."

"Holy crap, you can't believe it? What happens next...?"

"Later, Qidian probably saw this market opportunity and launched Qidian International. They then hired a team of translators to translate Qidian's online novels. I think that's how Bu Yangshen earned his $100 million in royalties."

"That's it, that's it."

"By the way, buddy, are there really that many foreigners reading our domestic online novels?"

"It's true, otherwise why would so many people translate it? It's because so many people read it that there are real-life translations. Come on, let me show you some comments written by these foreigners after reading the online novel."

This netizen, who is studying in the United States, took screenshots of some of the comments.

When the crowd saw this, some were completely dumbfounded.

After all, none of us are very good at English.

However, many authors today have high levels of education, and quite a few have relatively high levels of English proficiency.

"Let me translate this. Please forgive me if it's not very good."

Soon, an author in the industry who was good at English stepped forward: "The first comment was, 'Hurry up and write, damn it, how did it all disappear so quickly?' Hmm, this is somewhat like our netizens urging us to update."

"The second comment said it was so good, it was a novel written by God, even better than The Old Man and the Sea. He also said, 'Fellow Daoist, I am already deeply immersed in Eastern fantasy and cannot extricate myself.'"

The third point is about what "dao" means. I don't quite understand it. Is it a very powerful technology?

The American student explained, "Well, this 'dao' is the 'dao' we talk about in novels, the 'dao' of 'daofa' (the Way of the Way). I tried translating 'dao' before, but no one could understand it, so others just wrote it down in pinyin."

"Can they understand pinyin?"

"They might not understand it at first. But after reading a lot of novels and considering the context, they feel that this Dao is something similar to magic. Anyway, for them, they just know it's awesome."

"Pfft..."

Everyone watched with great amusement.

"Hey bro, how did they translate Bu Yangshen's 'Battle Through the Heavens'?"

"This is more difficult to translate; other versions translate it as 'Shatter the World'."

"Holy crap... Where's the Legend of the Dragon and Snake?"

"It's a translation of Chinese Kung Fu."

"That's closer to the truth. How do you translate 'showing off and getting slapped in the face'?"

"This is easier to translate..." You could say that.

Recently.

The entire industry was flooded with information about Qidian International Edition, online novels going global, and the conquest of foreigners by Bu Yangshen...

Meanwhile, many authors in the industry also learned about it.

In the future, Qidian International Edition will increase its efforts to translate a series of other excellent online novels and recommend them overseas.

However, who will be translated depends on the market.

Because things are slightly different in Europe and America compared to China.

It's not that if you write well in the country, you'll become popular abroad.

It's not that if something is poorly written on one side, no one abroad will read it.

It's the same as the wireless market, new media, etc.

This is a completely new channel.

Or rather, this is a more powerful, more prestigious, and larger market channel.

In the future, books written by online authors will not only be sold domestically, but will also be available internationally, truly going global.

……

"I have an event in the US that requires me to go. Do you have time?"

"America is so far away."

"It is a bit far. They are planning to hold a novel signing event for you in the United States. There are many of your book lovers there."

Are they all foreigners, or international students?

"There are international students, and also many foreigners."

"In addition, the U.S. Federal Library is also preparing to include your work 'Battle Through the Heavens.' Although this event is not large, it is very symbolic and can be considered as our domestic online literature truly going abroad."

"Okay, you guys make the arrangements, I'll participate."

"Okay."

Chen Yang hadn't expected this either.

The internationalization of online literature has progressed so quickly.

To know.

It seems that my previous life also took place after 2017.

Now let’s see.

It happened three or four years earlier than expected.

However, what Chen Yang did not expect was...

the other side.

Han Sanping also made a phone call to Chen Yang.

"Chen Yang, do you have time to go to the United States?"

"Oh, going again?"

"What's going on? You also have activities in the US?"

"Yes, it's just recently. They said there's a book signing event in the US, and the US federal government is planning to collect my work, 'Battle Through the Heavens'."

"Good lad, not bad. In that case, let's go together."

"Mr. Han, what's the situation on your end?"

"You don't care about our 'Dragon and Snake' at all."

"Didn't Dragon and Snake leave theaters?"

"Yes. Dragon and Snake has finished its run in China, but it's about to start its run in the global market. Our 'Dragon and Snake 3' will be released in the United States in three days."

"So exciting."

"It's that exciting! The media is generally optimistic about our film 'Dragon and Snake 3.' Are you in?"

"Yes, of course I have to go."

How could I not go to such a great opportunity?

Just imagine.

Not to mention how many fans he has in the United States.

It's also unclear how much Dragons 3 will actually gross at the North American box office.

As long as I go.

That's the number one person in the industry.

Although Chen Yang has always been the number one in the industry.

But opening up the international market should also be something we do first.

Even if Chen Yang stops writing online novels for the next few decades...

These online articles alone could support Chen Yang for the rest of his life.

No.

Ten lifetimes, a hundred lifetimes, it doesn't matter.

……

"I heard that the God of No Yang is going to North America."

"Ah, where did you hear this news from?"

"On the starting point side, it's said that a book signing event will be held in North America, and there will be many foreign netizens there."

"Holy shit, is it true or not?"

"The news has spread all over North America; it's true. Moreover, the U.S. Federal Library is reportedly going to acquire Chen Yang's 'Battle Through the Heavens'."

"Awesome..."

"Also, also, Dragon and Snake 3 is going to be released in North America in a few days, and Bu Yangshen will be going too."

"It's rumored that Dragon and Snake 3 might do well at the North American box office, but I don't know if it's just media hype or something else?"

"Let me testify. Dragon and Snake 3 is indeed quite popular in North America. Recently, major cinemas in North America have been running various advertisements for Dragon and Snake 3."

"Hey, isn't that the friend upstairs who studied in the US? Any news?"

"I'm not a film expert. But many of my classmates, especially the foreign ones, are interested in Dragons and Snakes 3. They say they want to see our Chinese heroes beat up Captain America."

"Who is the Chinese hero?"

"Wang Chao."

"Is Captain America the superhuman?"

"Yes."

"Well, it's hard for Dragon Snake 3 not to be popular now."

SkyNet.

A series of news reports about Chen Yang continued to emerge.

Some people also sought confirmation from Chen Yang.

After receiving confirmation from Chen Yang.

An author in the industry lamented on SkyNet: "From today onwards, please call the god of not being called 'God of Not Being Called 'American Gold Yang'."

“Mei Jin Yang...that's a fun name.”

"Yes, let's call him Meijin Yang. He's going to earn foreign dollars from now on."

……

North America.

This was Chen Yang's first time going.

Chen Yang had no particular feelings about this place.

However, when Chen Yang saw a group of readers who liked his work, he felt that it was no different from the situation in China.

Or.

it's here.

These book lovers are even more fanatical.

"Oh, you must be Yang... I love your work so much."

"Yang... Hello, I really enjoy your novel."

"Pfft... Is that how I use it?"

"Then let's use 'fellow Daoist' (Daoist). I think I'm more stylish."

"Alright, alright, I am indeed more dashing."

"Yang, you have eyes but don't recognize Mount Tai. What kind of mountain is Mount Tai?"

"Uh……"

"Yang, your knowledge is simply too vast. You said that this world is incredibly big and there are countless worlds, and you even created some very novel terms, such as 'the time of a breath'... The time of a breath is so interesting."

"Yang, I love your Xianxia novels so much. Although there are some parts I don't understand, it's okay. But could you add some plots about North America... I think our werewolves and vampires could also have a showdown with your fellow Daoists."

"Yang, let me tell you a story. You know, I used to like taking pills. I had to take them every day, and I felt terrible if I didn't. I was forced to undergo drug rehabilitation, but I couldn't quit even after several attempts. Once, someone recommended your book to me. As I read it, I forgot about taking my pills. Thank you so much, I don't want to take them anymore. But I want to say, please update your book soon. I came all this way here just to urge you to update... I just want you to write faster, otherwise my medication will kick in again."

Ok.

This is what a foreign reader told Chen Yang. (End of Chapter)
