Flushing, inside the office.

Wang and Tom sat in their office chairs, staring intently at NBC.

"Recently, law and order in the Bronx has improved significantly, and the death toll yesterday was a record low of 10.

It is reported that this is all because of a Bronx District Police Department issued a bounty notice involving the disappearance of a child.

Surprisingly, the amount of the bounty, which is inflationary, has surpassed the 1928 Los Angeles child disappearance.

You know, most of the bounties in that case came from public fundraising.

Who could afford to shell out such a huge amount of money that the legendary kidnapping case that Universal bought the script and wanted to make a movie?"

At this time, a photo of Wang gradually suddenly appeared on the screen.

The way it was framed was the picture of him and Jobs standing on the stage with Bill Gates behind him.

That's right, it's the best-selling author Wang Jian, who is also the best-selling author who can make the most money this year. ”

Belch...

Wang and Tom looked at each other, not understanding what NBC was trying to do.

"$1 million is a lot of money for anyone, just a best-selling author, can he take it?" the host looked at the guests of the financial show.

"Heh," the guest dressed as a stock critic chuckled lightly, "This talented Asian writer earns more than just royalties from traditional writers.

In fact, we in the industry prefer to call him an entrepreneur. ”

As he spoke, the screen behind him lit up, showing some data.

His income is mainly composed of three parts, one part is the royalty of his works, the development of peripherals, the other part is the dividends, and the market value of Twitter.

Take his work "Arcane Throne" as an example, whose comic version was published by Dark Horse and signed a record-breaking sharing model.

In terms of omni-channel games, in addition to Nintendo's "Pokemon" this year, the hottest is "Arcane Constellation 2" developed by EA.

There is also a physical version of Arcane Throne published by Random House, as well as a paid version of the electronic subscription.

This work alone can bring him tens of millions of dollars. ”

"Wow, that's so much?" the presenter said with a pompous expression, "I thought that writers were like Mr. Hemingway, even if they were very famous, they would still live a poor life." ”

And that's just the least part of Wang's income. The guest continued, "It is not a listed company, so it is impossible to get accurate data." ”

"But Twitter," he said, gesturing behind him, "is the largest shareholder, according to the announcement." ”

And the largest shareholder is this best-selling author. ”

"That alone can put his assets on top of $100 million. ”

"Coupled with the cooperation with Apple, it should be another huge income. ”

"So many?" the host was really surprised this time, "doesn't it mean that he may be on the Forbes rich list?"

The guest nodded in confirmation, "I even suspect that at the age of 18 alone, the current heirs of the Rockefeller and Morgan families do not have as much wealth as him." ”

"So can we get rid of prejudice and encourage young people to write full-time?" the host looked at another guest and asked, "It is said that this Mr. Wang gradually began to write full-time. ”

"Uhh

Schuster's guest smiled wryly, "This situation is just a special case, and most writers are still very poor in their daily lives. ”

"Even like Joseph Heller and Mr. Stephen King, it is only a guarantee that the creation will not be troubled by material conditions. ”

Well?

Wang gradually frowned, "Is this to completely separate yourself from the group of writers?"

If it's just an individual, it's no problem at all, and your money is completely legal.

But the key is that you also need your own signboard to attract many writers!

Soon, NBC's follow-up report proved Wang's guess.

So, let's ask fellow writers to comment on Wang gradually and see what you can learn from this legendary writer. ”

The first to appear is Jill Walton, a member of the Walmart family who is now a reporter and writer for the Discovery Channel.

"I think literature should be pure, and if you like money so much, why don't you just become a businessman?"

Belch...

Regarding the comments of this super-rich third generation, Wang gradually did not know how to answer.

You can treat money like dung, and so can others?

The second was an unknown writer, "Of course, I was very envious of the wealth that the king had." ”

"But if I had to choose, I'd rather immerse myself in my own world and focus on my creation rather than worrying about how to make money, right?"

Well, that's what most writers are all about.

No matter in any region, literary and artistic youth are such awkward existences.

But there is precisely this kind of person who dares to create full-time without hesitation.

The third interviewee was best-selling author Neil Donald Walsh, author of Conversations with God.

"I think the writer community should pay more attention to the creation of works. ”

However, as one of the members of the Writers' Guild, he thought for a moment and added, "Of course, each writer has a different creative state. ”

"I once went to live in the park for half a year in order to write Dialogue with God. ”

"At that time, many people said that I had fallen into psychological problems and became a complete homeless person. ”

"I dare not speculate about the king. After all, in a sense, he was a genius. ”

Walsh shrugged at the camera, "Maybe one day, he'll write a work." ”

"And that work is to tell everyone how billionaires spend their money?"

"Ha," the reporter laughed.

At this time, Wang Jian's mobile phone rang.

He picked up the phone and listened to Matthew's voice.

"Wang, I've found out through a private investigator about your connection with the pigtailed man. ”

"He was the one who led a large number of African-Americans to storm the venue during the feminist rally. ”

That makes sense.

After all, no one wants to offend a rich man for no reason.

Wang gradually stretched his brows at first, and then frowned tightly, "Is he acting personally, or is someone instigating?"

"Someone is at the mercy. Matthew replied: "Based on the confessions of the people in the prison, it can be traced back to a certain executive of Bet TV." ”

"After the investigation of the private investigator, can it be traced to NBC again?"

"NBC?" Wang gradually looked at the TV, "I don't have a conflict of interest with the other party?"

"King," Tom's brow furrowed, "NBC belongs to the Viacom Group. ”

The representative of the Viacom Group's publishing house is Simon Schuster. ”
