Reborn, I achieved legendary status with a single book.

Chapter 319: I won a prize of 100 million.

time flies.

The winners of the Six Ones Project Award have been officially announced for each category.

I won't go into other TV series, movies, etc.

For most authors, book awards are of utmost concern.

Because other things like TV series, movies, etc.

Even if these awards are won, it has nothing to do with the author, or even the screenwriter.

It has nothing to do with the director at all.

He has connections with producers or production companies.

As for the reason.

This is also normal.

A TV series is not made by one person, nor is it made by a director; it is a product of continuous collaboration among hundreds of people with different roles.

It's just like a company.

Hundreds or even thousands of people created a single product.

Does this product belong to an individual or the chief designer?
neither.

This belongs to the company.

But books are different.

Basically, among all the books that have won awards, only the authors have received them.

"Dragon and Snake".

No accidents.

As long as we know that Chen Yang participated in the review process.

Many people have started to add Chen Yang to their list of potential winners.

Just a few days ago, Chen Yang had become the most likely winner, even surpassing Grandpa Zheng.

Meanwhile, Chen Yang, who was mentioned in the news a few days ago, can be considered as giving advance notice to the industry.

The final result did not surprise anyone.

Chen Yang was the recipient of the Six Ones Project Award, specifically the Book Award.

“I didn’t expect it to be him.”

"This is the first time an online writer has participated in the judging process, and they've already won an award on their very first try."

"There's no way around it, he's just too strong. It's not just Chen Yang who's strong, his representative work 'Dragon and Snake' is too."

"A strong nation and a strong race, indeed."

"They've not only strengthened their nation and their race, but they've also exported their influence all over the world. And this is just the beginning. Dragon Snake 4 is sure to be a huge hit. It would be strange if the higher-ups didn't pay attention."

"Oh, I thought it was Grandpa Zheng."

"It's a pity about Mr. Zheng. If it were me, I might choose two."

But a pity.

This time I only chose one.

……

Three days later, at the award banquet for the Six Ones Project Award.

A group of well-known writers in the audience, including Alai, Jia Pingwa, and Liang Xiaosheng, were somewhat envious.

However, seeing Zheng Yuanjie's unwavering composure, Alai remarked, "Old Master Zheng is truly remarkable."

Zheng Yuanjie smiled and said, "Impressive, impressive, yet you didn't win an award."

"Hey, you can't say that. It's just that you didn't participate in many events before. If you participated in more events, you would probably win all the major awards in the country."

"Hehe, I'm just a writer of children's works, how could I possibly win every major award?"

The writers chatted while eating.

Then, a group of award winners came to offer a toast.

Upon Chen Yang's arrival, the writers offered their congratulations.

Chen Yang was a little embarrassed and said, "I'm ashamed, it was purely luck. Please don't scold me, teachers."

These words made Zheng Yuanjie burst into laughter: "What do you mean we won't scold you? Of course we'll scold you! You stole the grand prize from all of us!"

Chen Yang said helplessly, "Teacher Zheng, then I'll punish myself with three drinks."

"Haha... That's great, I like your personality. By the way, come visit me sometime."

"Okay, okay."

"Then tomorrow."

"what."

Chen Yang was taken aback.

He thought Zheng Yuanjie was just being polite, but he didn't expect that the old man Zheng was serious.

Not only are they serious, but they are also extremely efficient.

Seeing Chen Yang's hesitation, Zheng Yuanjie said, "Do you have something to do tomorrow?"

"No, no... I just didn't quite catch my breath for a moment. Okay, I'll do as you say, Mr. Zheng, I'll come to see you tomorrow."

Although Chen Yang had never met Zheng Yuanjie before.

But he also greatly admired great figures like Zheng Yuanjie.

Not to mention anything else.

Just the fact that he never joins any associations or pays attention to any other activities makes him stand out from the average author.

After all, for writers...

Which author doesn't like money or fame?

Is writing a book really just for your own reading and entertainment?
Whether they are traditional writers or online writers.

Fame and fortune... these are inescapable.

But Old Master Zheng seems to have a very clear understanding of fame.

This is also why Chen Yang admires Grandpa Zheng.

Just like him.

He couldn't do that.

……

"The Six-One Project Award? My goodness, you actually won it?"

"Yes."

"My God, am I seeing things?"

"No."

"The highest award in the country! I heard the prize money is 100 million yuan."

"Yes."

"Reached?"

"What do you want to do?"

"Everyone who sees it has a share."

"Damn, this is no joke."

"Why can't we do it this way? I see your award-winning work is 'Dragon and Snake,' and we also made a huge contribution."

"What contributions have you made?"

"I clicked it."

On SkyNet, a group of authors were extremely envious and commented one after another.

"Pfft..."

Chen Yang, with tears streaming down his face, said, "Even clicking counts as a contribution."

"Otherwise what? I didn't just click, I subscribed too."

"Uh……"

"Wow, I not only subscribed, I also gave a tip. Oh, and I even tipped a top-tier guild leader... God of No Rising, just tell me, aren't our contributions contributions? If we calculate it this way, how much of the bonus should I get?"

"Uh……"

"Uh what? Is that right?"

"Yes."

"Since that's the case, shouldn't the prize money be divided?"

"Huh, why did the connection drop?"

Chen Yang was also unable to defend himself at this moment, so he quickly disconnected and fled.

……

The next day.

Chen Yang went to the home of Grandpa Zheng Yuanjie.

Mr. Zheng Yuanjie lives a simple life. Although he has long been financially independent, his home is simply decorated.

However, Mr. Zheng was very talkative.

There was even a dragon and snake calligraphy written by Chen Yang on his desk.

"A strong nation and a strong race, well written."

Taking out the book "Dragon and Snake," Old Master Zheng sighed and said, "I didn't lose unjustly."

"The idea of a strong nation and a strong race is not my own; it was proposed by our ancestors more than 100 years ago. I am simply putting their words into my own language."

It's a little embarrassing to say.

The dragon and snake didn't actually belong to Chen Yang.

He copied the work of the previous life's divine machine.

However, even the divine strategist probably didn't expect this.

The dragon and snake he wrote in his previous life has been brought to such great heights by Chen Yang.

"You're too modest. By the way, I heard you were elected as a member of the association."

"You all are too kind."

"So, how do you feel?"

"The pressure is immense."

"Pressure? Isn't this a kind of honor?"

"Mr. Zheng, please don't make fun of me. You are a person who is indifferent to fame and fortune, but I actually value fame quite a lot. However, I always believe that the greater the fame, the greater the responsibility. My selection as a member of the association is partly an affirmation of me from above, but on the other hand, I still have many tasks to complete."

"Mission, what mission?"

"Actually, there wasn't any specific task; I just wanted to write with a bit more dignity." "Dignity?"

Zheng Yuanjie was taken aback.

He seemed to be thinking of something.

However, he didn't say anything, but instead gestured for Chen Yang to continue with his eyes.

Chen Yang continued, "Mr. Zheng, as you know, I write online literature. For several years, online literature was considered lowbrow. I thought that if one day I had some decision-making power, I hoped to make online literature more respectable. Perhaps, in the future, all online literature authors can proudly say to others, 'I am an online writer,' and even be proud to be one."

Chen Yang spoke the truth.

"Good, good, good."

After listening to Chen Yang's words, Zheng Yuanjie said "good" three times in a row.

“I used to think that by withdrawing from all associations and no longer participating in a series of activities, I had achieved my life’s ideal. But now, Chen Yang, your voice and actions are even better than mine.”

"You can't say that. Mr. Zheng, you have already achieved great success. I actually still want some fame and fortune."

"Your pursuit of fame and fortune is for accomplishing something more important. My decision to leave the entertainment industry might seem like a sign of individuality. But compared to you, I need to think things through."

In fact, Zheng Yuanjie's retirement from the entertainment industry was not due to indifference to fame and fortune.

He simply couldn't stand those guys who made all sorts of deals and acted recklessly within the industry.

For example, some people are judges themselves, and then they award prizes to their own works.

This means being both a player and a referee.

At the same time, they also used their power to bring their works into schools and recommend them to a large number of children.

All of this made him very unhappy.

So he simply withdrew from the entertainment industry, unwilling to associate with them.

While his decision to leave the entertainment industry was certainly unique, it also garnered him widespread praise.

But Chen Yang's words today earned Zheng Yuanjie's admiration.

Look at those who write online novels.

Even though he knew his online novels had a bad reputation, he didn't back down.

Instead, they bravely stood up and spoke out for their entire industry.

What's the big deal about retiring from the industry?
True warriors don't retire from the industry; they speak out for it and take the initiative to stand up.

If you like it, give it a thumbs up.

If there are any problems, offer criticism.

If speaking out isn't enough, then keep moving towards a more powerful position, ultimately aiming to protect the entire industry.

……

in the afternoon.

Zheng Yuanjie and Chen Yang finished their meal.

Zheng Yuanjie was in high spirits today and said, "Come on, Chen Yang, I'll take you to an interesting place today."

"Interesting places, where?"

"You will know when you go."

Half an hour later.

Zheng Yuanjie led Chen Yang to a residential area.

Upon entering the residential area, Zheng Yuanjie said, "Many years ago, because my children's literature works sold very well, I became very famous. Fans and book lovers from all over the country wrote to me one after another after reading my works. At first, it was fine; I would read and reply to each letter one by one."

"But later, I received dozens of emails every day. At its peak, there were more than 1000. Later on, I not only couldn't reply to them, I couldn't even read them all."

"But what could I do if I couldn't finish reading them all? They were all letters from readers, and I couldn't just throw them away. So, I temporarily stored them in a room. But gradually, one room couldn't hold all the letters anymore..."

As they were talking, Zheng Yuanjie opened the door to his house.

All I could see was a dense mass of letters, bag after bag.

"Oh my God."

"Mr. Zheng, you didn't buy this house just to store mail, did you?"

Chen Yang was also dumbfounded.

"What do you think?"

Old Zheng had a very satisfied expression on his face: "How was it?"

"Amazing, awesome, incredibly strong."

Chen Yang gave Zheng Yuanjie a thumbs up: "My idol!"

"Haha, it was pretty fun."

Zheng Yuanjie laughed heartily: "I was a little depressed yesterday because I didn't win an award, but I'm finally feeling better today."

Chen Yang smiled wryly.

That's a really high-class and sophisticated way to put on airs.

Even Chen Yang.

Although his novels are incredibly impressive.

But as for letters from readers... well, there weren't many.

of course.

Times have changed.

Nowadays, nobody writes letters.

However, even though times have changed.

The densely packed letters inside Zheng Yuanjie's house also deeply shocked Chen Yang.

This is a true master of art.

……

There are many benefits to winning the six major prizes.

This is obvious.

That's a prize of 100 million.

In fact, it's more than 100 million.

This is the 100 million yuan award for this national-level category.

Apart from national-level awards.

Because Chen Yang represents Ganzhou City.

Chen Yang was also recommended for review by the Ganzhou Municipality.

In Ganzhou, Chen Yang was also awarded 50 yuan.

That adds up to 150 million.

Also.

This also greatly boosted Chen Yang's reputation.

This fame comes partly from within the industry.

Within the industry, whether it's traditional or online literature... Chen Yang can be considered one of the top writers in China.

after all.

Even a literary giant like Jia Pingwa has never won the Six Ones Award.

Outside of that circle is the general public readership.

Chen Yang used to be very famous.

But this kind of fame isn't high enough in quality, and it's not enough to be accepted by more people.

Although people have heard of Chen Yang, they only know him as a bestselling novelist.

It's similar to the relationship between Han Han and Guo Jingming.

at most.

Chen Yang is better than them.

But apart from being more powerful, they are essentially the same.

But now.

With the endorsement of the Six Ones Project Award, Chen Yang's reputation has undergone a substantial change.

People no longer regard Chen Yang as a bestselling novelist, but as a top-tier writer with considerable talent.

As for how this gold content is classified.

It's not really that hard to say.

In everyone's eyes, Chen Yang at this moment seems to have been shrouded in an aura of invincibility compared to the original Chen Yang.

With this layer of golden armor.

Chen Yang's series of works have recently become bestsellers in the market.

This market, especially the physical offline market.

In here.

The best-selling book was undoubtedly "Dragon and Snake".

In fact, the physical copies of "Dragon and Snake" did sell quite well before.

But this one sold reasonably well, though not nearly as well as Chen Yang's "Battle Through the Heavens," or even "A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality."

The reason is simple.

Physical books have their own target audience; not every good book can sell like hotcakes.

At the same time, the right timing, location, and people are also important here.

Dragons and snakes might be a bit difficult for ordinary children to understand.

It can be broken through, even elementary school students can understand it.

but now.

The award-winning work, "Dragon and Snake," is a prime example of its quality.

The physical sales of "Dragon and Snake"... have exploded wave after wave.

Many readers don't even bother to read it.

As soon as I arrived at the bookstore, I bought "Dragon and Snake" and took it home.

As for whether to buy it and read it or not?

unimportant.
