Reborn, I achieved legendary status with a single book.

The era of the rise of smartphones.

It was also the era of the rise of online literature.

The era when many people couldn't make money writing online novels is long gone.

The question now facing everyone is how to earn more royalties from writing online articles.

Fortunately.

Online literature has also begun to benefit from a series of the era's dividends.

Like the short dramas we have now.

Another example is the overseas expansion of online literature.

of course.

The short drama is just the beginning; he hasn't yet fully showcased his charm.

The overseas expansion of online literature, which has previously garnered much attention, remains a major focus for many authors.

At the same time.

In this area, the starting point has also clearly accelerated its actions.

Originally, Qidian International Station only had a portion of translated online novels.

slowly.

More and more series of works have entered Qidian International Station.

Although many works, after being translated, were not so popular.

However, after being translated on a large scale, it has increasingly attracted the attention of people in North America and even Europe.

For example, recently translating past tomb raiding works.

This work immediately caught the eye of many friends from North America and Europe.

They never imagined that tomb raiding could be written so well.

This also filled them with a sense of curiosity.

They found it very mysterious.

another one.

They found it incredibly interesting.

Some Europeans, after seeing these different styles of tomb raiding, even started trying their hand at it themselves.

Yes.

They were thinking about it too.

There are gold and silver treasures in the Chinese tombs, and they probably have them on their side too.

Especially some large tombs.

Some of the tombs of wealthy, rich, and high-ranking people should contain a lot of treasure.

Don't say it yet.

They actually unearthed quite a lot of things.

Some people have even set their sights on the pyramids.

Aren't the pyramids ancient tombs?

Some people have even started learning about the feng shui principles of tomb raiding in China.

They feel.

It's possible that the pyramids in Egypt also utilized feng shui techniques.

If we could master that, we might be able to steal a series of antiques from the pyramids.

They might even discover some pyramids that people had not yet found.

The result is.

News of the arrest of a certain European and American tomb raider quickly spread back to China.

The book lovers were stunned and expressed their disbelief.

Feng shui is a precious Chinese art and should not be passed on to foreigners.

Of course, not everyone is interested in tomb raiding.

Many people have shown a strong interest in Eastern fantasy, martial arts, and mythology.

Because I read these online articles.

They even began to study the origins of Chinese mythology and various mythological stories.

Meanwhile, on the female-oriented side, many fans in Europe and America are also showing great interest.

Films like "The Domineering CEO Falls in Love with Me" are also popular among many female fans in Europe and America.

I not only like it, I absolutely love it.

This is not.

A series of posts about domineering CEOs falling in love with me have started appearing on major European and American forums.

Some female netizens also shared their experiences of spending time with domineering CEOs.

In addition, there are also titles such as "I Inherited Billions After My Divorce" and so on.

These online novels, after being translated, have attracted not only a large number of fans in Europe and America.

This has provided a large number of domestic online writers with a steady stream of US dollar royalties.

The emergence of these dollar-denominated royalties has greatly excited online writers.

Just imagine.

Previously, many online novel authors believed that online novels were a trend and had a market.

However, they still consider themselves inferior to some traditional authors.

Some authors even feel that online novels are not respectable.

They were all too embarrassed to introduce their professions to others.

This is not something that can be changed overnight.

but.

At this point, they even received their royalties in US dollars.

That's a royalty in US dollars!

My online novels are not only popular in mainland China, but also among readers abroad.

These dollar royalties are more than even some well-known traditional writers in China can earn.

This greatly boosted the confidence and pride of many online writers.

From now on, wherever I go, I can hold my head high.

I'm not just receiving US dollar royalties now; I'm also a contributor to the export of Chinese culture.

This statement definitely puts them at a higher level than the rest of the group.

……

the other side.

Chen Yang is also actively laying the groundwork for the short drama market.

In addition to filming his own dramas, he also began purchasing the copyrights to a number of online novel short dramas.

In fact, the copyright of online novel short dramas was in a very bad state in the past.

Not many people in the industry follow this rule.

Some people, in order to save money, are unwilling to pay even if your ideas or settings are used...

To save money, they'll hire an editor, pay them ten or twenty thousand yuan, and have them completely copy your outline and exciting plot details.

As a result, many authors watch helplessly as their works are plagiarized, unable to protect their rights.

Now that Chen Yang is making short dramas, he naturally has to be a good role model.

Although the IP rights granted are not many, only tens of thousands each, it is already quite good for many ordinary authors.

then.

this period of time.

Authors in the industry occasionally report receiving text messages that their novels have been adapted into short dramas, along with copyright fees ranging from 3 to 6 yuan.

Such copyright fees also excite many ordinary authors.

After all, they wouldn't have dared to even dream of something like this before.

Adaptations and TV series... those are things only masters can create.

Unexpectedly, one day, IP adaptation also came to their heads.

Even if the copyright fees are not high.

But this gave them immense hope.

You can adapt the books you write yourself.

If I write even better in the future, won't my IP copyright be even more valuable?
This has inadvertently stimulated the creativity of many authors, leading to a significant improvement in the overall quality of works within the industry.

……

"Rebirth: I Am the King of the Internet" is still being updated.

As before.

As netizens continue to share the story, this short drama is attracting more and more attention.

As before.

Even though the comments section was filled with countless insults, the number of subscribers continued to increase.

Anyway, just use what everyone says.

Despite the criticism, people still watch it.

Furthermore, it's not necessarily true that many people enjoy watching high-quality films and television dramas.

Watching some rough-around-the-edges videos occasionally can be quite stress-relieving and relaxing.

of course.

Perhaps you think of it as just a short drama.

However, some people with a keen eye do not see it as just a short drama.

Recently, Pony Ma from Tencent has been reading "Rebirth: I Am the King of the Internet".

Of course. He wasn't reading "Rebirth: I Am the King of the Internet" to relieve stress.

The main focus is on the short drama "Rebirth: I Am the King of the Internet," which deals with content related to the internet.

But a pity.

There aren't many film and television works related to the internet in the industry.

Although this short drama was awkwardly filmed, many parts were well-written.

At least Little Ma (Ma Huateng) seems to approve of it.

After all, this was filmed by Chen Yang.

Although Chen Yang is not involved in the internet industry, Pony Ma has always believed that his understanding of the internet is no less than Chen Yang's.

It's even possible that he could surpass him.

Chen Yang was the mastermind behind the 3Q War back then.

Even though this short drama was poorly made.

However, Pony Ma felt that his understanding of the internet was superior to Pony Ma's.

So these days.

He watched this short drama with the intention of learning something.

What has kept Xiao Ma watching the show the most these past few days is the short drama where the main character comes up with a live-streaming e-commerce concept.

Live-streaming e-commerce.

This looks like an advertisement to sell something, but it's completely different.

The first thing Little Ma did was call Big Qiangzi.

Yes.

Since the penguin parade began.

Instead of focusing on dominating the internet, Tencent began investing in a series of promising internet companies.

JD.com, owned by Liu Qiangdong, is one of the companies he invested in.

"Qiangzi, Teacher Chen Yang recently filmed a short drama, have you watched it?"

“I’ve been following it, but I haven’t had time to watch it. Many people say that the filming is a bit rough.”

"The filming was indeed a bit rough, but his ideas were anything but. I recently caught up with his latest episode, and he came up with the concept of live-streaming e-commerce."

What does "live-streaming e-commerce" mean?

"It's about selling products through live streaming."

"Is it equivalent to advertising?"

"It's not just about advertising; he predicts that this live-streaming e-commerce method may become mainstream in the future. At the same time, it can greatly stimulate consumer spending. Especially as online shopping competition intensifies in the future, this kind of live-streaming e-commerce will become even more valuable."

"Mr. Ma, I'll go watch Mr. Chen Yang's short drama right now."

Daqiangzi is no ordinary person to have achieved his current status.

Although he didn't have much understanding of live-streaming e-commerce.

But he keenly sensed that this was a very interesting innovation.

hang up the phone.

Daqiangzi clicked on Chen Yang's short drama.

Although the beginning made Daqiangzi feel a bit awkward, things gradually improved.

Just like Chow Yun-fat.

Daqiangzi was also stimulated by a series of internet theories in this drama.

As mentioned here, whoever controls the payments controls the world.

Daqiangzi had previously regretted not getting into online payment.

This look.

He even slapped his thigh, feeling he had missed a good opportunity.

Until he caught up with the latest chapter.

Seeing the live-streaming e-commerce initiative launched by the protagonist, Daqiangzi stroked his chin, pondering the feasibility of this approach.

……

Besides penguins and Qiangqiang.

Alibaba has also taken notice.

This idea first came to the attention of a mid-level manager at Alibaba.

At first, he thought it was just random nonsense.

It's like a novel.

The plots and settings that novelists come up with, while having some feasibility, are ultimately impossible to realize.

For example, live-streaming e-commerce.

What are the benefits of live-streaming e-commerce?

Users will buy products on their own; it's pointless for you to promote them through live streaming.

However, he still reported the live-streaming sales he had witnessed to his superiors.

This report.

Immediately, Alibaba's top executives held a meeting to focus on this live-streaming e-commerce.

of course.

It's not just them.

Some ordinary people have also seen it.

But compared to those who actually work in the industry, most of them are just watching the show.

Some people even started complaining.

"That main character is actually doing live-streaming e-commerce? To be honest, he's oversimplifying things. What's the point of live-streaming e-commerce? It's just a sales channel. One sale has absolutely no impact on the overall e-commerce industry. Selling a few more or a few less makes no difference."

"I agree. People can choose their own items when shopping online, so why would they need livestreamers to promote their products? Besides, don't you find it annoying to watch them chatter on and on?"

"I think this has potential."

"how?"

"Think about it, if we only buy what we need, we definitely won't buy much. But if someone gives you a little push, you'll buy more. That's what sales is all about. Or, to put it another way, you don't originally want to buy something, but then you do."

"While that makes sense, it's still the same. For e-commerce as a whole, whether there's one more or one less item is insignificant."

"No. I don't think so. I haven't fully figured out what's involved yet. But I feel that if I'm a small business owner, and I can earn an extra 100 yuan a day through live-streaming e-commerce, I'd be happy. If I'm a big business owner, what if I can earn an extra 10 or 100 million yuan a day?"

"this?"

"Isn't this another kind of operation? Even if I were a manufacturer, but no one was buying what I produced, I could sell their products through live streaming, which is a change from the traditional advertising and promotion model."

"But does anyone believe you?"

“At first, not many people may believe it, but as long as you persist, more and more people will believe it. It’s like online shopping. At first, no one believed in online shopping. They thought it was a scam and that they would pay money online and receive junk. But look at it now, online shopping has gradually become mainstream.”

"It's the same with this kind of live-streaming e-commerce. At first, no one believed it, but gradually some people will definitely believe it. And if the official channels strongly recommend it, even more people will believe it. Also, I discovered that this drama seems to have been directed by Chen Yang."

"Is Chen Yang the online novelist who earns the most money?"

"Yes. But he's not just the highest-earning online writer, he also has a nickname."

"What a nickname."

"Internet strategist".

That's right.

The title of "Internet strategist" is well-deserved.

Chen Yang became famous overnight for helping Lao Zhou fight against the penguin.

Many people believe it.

If Chen Yang were to go into the internet industry, he would definitely become a giant.

But a pity.

Everyone has his own ambitions.

He just loves writing novels.

Although he enjoys writing novels, his judgment is never bad.

"Hehe, you guys have really cracked me up. You've managed to talk about such an awkward short drama as if it were a business opportunity."

"Yeah, they even analyze live-streaming e-commerce. If it's really that amazing, how could Alibaba and Jingdong not do it?"

"Yes, yes, it's just a short drama, just something to watch for fun."

For most onlookers, it remains unbelievable.

Or perhaps they simply don't consider this matter in depth.

I'm just watching a show.

Not to mention short dramas.

but……

What no one expected was...

The next day.

JD.com has released a public announcement stating that they will be trying to launch a live-streaming e-commerce business.

Following JD.com is Alibaba.

On the same day, Alibaba also announced that they would launch their live-streaming e-commerce business in seven days.

It's not just Alibaba.

Other less well-known e-commerce platforms.

Second-tier e-commerce platforms such as eBay, Dangdang, Suning.com, and Vipshop have also issued announcements one after another.

"I……"

"Internet strategist?"

"My grass..."

See this scene.

Everyone watching the short drama "Rebirth: I Am the King of the Internet" was completely dumbfounded. (End of Chapter)
