Chapter 263: Writer's Rich List
After announcing that Lin Han's novel "I, Robot" won the fourth place, everyone, including Lin Han himself, did not dare to ask for too much, and as a result, a double yolk egg came. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Under various factors, "The Three-Body Problem" topped the most popular work of the year with an absolute advantage, which means that these two voting awards were won by Lin Han, which is basically the first time in history.
When Lin Han was holding two trophies and two certificates in both hands, he had no hands to hold the flowers, so he had to ask the master of ceremonies to help hold the flowers aside, and he stood in front of the microphone with a sigh on his face.
"As I said before, I am very glad that I have the opportunity to stand on the stage again, and I thank readers at home and abroad for their love for my novels. The reader's choice of these two books is a recognition of my past period of time, and it is also a kind of relief for me.
It's like a melon farmer who has worked hard to grow some watermelons, and the person who bought the melon says that your watermelons are good, so I didn't lose the land that grows watermelons, nor did I lose this year's labor, and I happily planted watermelons next year.
To love writing, we need to never get bored, just as we don't get tired of eating. A writer's job is to write a work, and anything else is not a proper job.
When I can write, I try to write as much as I can, and try to make it as acceptable as possible to readers, which is my greatest wish.
In the end, others say that science fiction is very niche, and some persuade me to switch genres to write the rest of the categories, but I like this kind of imagination, thank you for supporting my fantasy!"
The people at the table looked at the three trophies in front of Lin Han blankly, when was the last time a writer won three awards at the annual meeting?
Even the chairman of the National Writers Association can't remember clearly, anyway, this year, Lin Han's light has overshadowed anyone else, completely making others dumbfounded.
His fans are already cheering online, and it's a hearty victory!
When everyone felt that "The Three-Body Problem" was hopeless, this Jedi counterattack came at the right time, and the comments in the online live broadcast area were almost swiped, and science fiction fans could be seen celebrating everywhere.
Of course, this is like a deliberate stimulus in front of other readers, and the two sides go straight to war.
Even if the number of science fiction readers is scarce, their combat effectiveness on the Internet is by no means ordinary, and it is not too exaggerated to fight ten against one.
Someone scolded the street, ", the ticket dog actually got the first place, don't be complacent, beware of the trophy being taken back." ”
"That's it, it's not low-key to be so hateful, just sit back and wait for Lin Gou's new book to hit the street"
And the sci-fi fans who were in full swing immediately broke out, and they probably had 100% of the buff effect of Lin Han's combat power after winning the award, "Brush your sister, this is all voted by us, why didn't your master tie the rope well, let you run out and bite people casually." ”
"When we win the award, we have to be embarrassed, if you can't get used to it, you hold back, and you have the ability to vote for the first place in the two lists!"
"Hahaha, if you can't eat grapes and say that grapes are sour, you like this look"
"Come on, Lin Da, we will always support you"
……
Chen Jiaxuan has been paying close attention to the comments on the Internet, she frowned slightly, the trend of public opinion on the Internet seems to be a little wrong, Lin Han's target is too hateful, and readers from all sides are questioning the fairness of winning three awards for two projects.
So she took out her mobile phone and quickly dialed the staff's number, "Xiao Xiao, you pay attention to guiding and controlling the trend of public opinion on the Internet, don't let others lead you by the nose, if necessary, you can use the water army to confuse the sight, don't let Lin Han's reputation be damaged." ”
"No problem, Sister Xuan, we will always pay attention, don't worry. ”
This kind of precautionary attention is usually the treatment of a king, Chen Jiaxuan's brokerage studio is not big, and there are only two or three big cats and kittens including Lin Han.
She has only worked hard in the entertainment industry for more than two years, but because of her own ability and family connections, she is thriving in the entertainment industry, this studio specializes in actor and artist management, performances, record production, singer packaging, advertising planning, literary works copyright expansion and other businesses, its artists include a music diva, actor and a newcomer, and Lin Han, a director who has gone astray.
Chen Jiaxuan's studio employs as many as 15 employees, of which the core members are her CEO and agent, as well as the publicity team led by the publicity director, the artist's personal assistant, business development, text planning, legal rights protection department, and regular cooperation with photographers, makeup artists, and stylists.
Now those fans of the Hanlin Academy alone can't completely block the grievances of other types of readers, if they are not guided, it is very likely that all kinds of negative news will be spread, which Chen Jiaxuan does not want to see.
Lin Han, who lowered his head to drink water, didn't know that someone behind him had quietly spread his wings to protect him, which seemed to be the opposite of romance novels.
Li Wenyuan greeted Lin Han from afar, and he sent a message over: "Wait a while, give me the trophy to touch, I haven't won any awards at the annual meeting, this is the most popular award in the country!"
After Lin Han saw the text message, he looked up at his old friend who was extremely resentful, and he replied: "Don't worry, everyone has a chance, now the sci-fi market is getting bigger and bigger, next time I will hold a trophy appreciation meeting in private, so that you can appreciate and appreciate my trophies." ”
Lin Han's words made Li Wenyuan even more depressed, isn't this obviously a blow? So Li Wenyuan began to type triumphantly, "You may not have the award I have, so don't be too arrogant." ”
"Oh, I guess none of your awards can be held anymore, and I really can't travel back in time to get the prize. ”
Lin Han pointed out Li Wenyuan's loophole sharply and lightly inserted a knife in his chest.
Li Wenyuan pretended not to see the mobile phone, directly flipped over the mobile phone screen, and pretended to look at the host on the stage seriously.
Laughing in his heart for a moment, Lin Han knew that he had won again, and since the mosquitoes had surrendered, he also smiled and raised his head, putting his phone in the trouser pocket of his suit.
At this time, the awards for the best novella, novella, and short story of the year, as well as the best prose, poetry, and published book of the year, were not awarded to writers in the popular fiction category.
Basically, the award-winning ones are of that type, this is the private reserve of traditional writers, Lin Han can't participate in it for the time being, so he can only watch the excitement with his arms crossed.
"Tianxingjian" won the best novel, and the best novella was "Harvesting the Wheat Field". In terms of the best short story, Lin Han's sci-fi short stories are actually very competitive, but they don't even have a shortlist, and the final winner is "Snow Covers the Mountain", Lin Han has never read this at all.
In terms of reportage, "Green Legend", which describes the transformation of the western desert into an oasis, is the best, and the best poem was won by "Longing for Warmth" by Taibai Literature and Art Publishing House.
Although Lin Han posted a few poems on Weibo, he did not publish them in a book, so he was disqualified from being selected. In fact, his poems are not the top kind, of course, there is no need to be frustrated if he is not selected, after all, he is given to his girlfriend, and now that his girlfriend has it, the biggest goal can be achieved.
Time slipped away little by little, and when all the awards were awarded, the highlight of the writers' annual meeting appeared in a real sense, which is the time with the highest ratings every year, because the writers' rich list will be officially announced!
Lin Han knew his own income, and he was not too nervous in his heart, but he was a little curious about the income level of the rest of the writers, and wanted to see what position he could rank.
The much-anticipated writer rich list is about to be released, the host stood on the stage with the list and looked at everyone with a smile, "I know everyone is looking forward to this link, this year's writer rich list is exclusively released by So-Fox Culture, and now you can read the full list on So-Fox Culture! The highest income of this writer's rich list is 59 million yuan, and the lowest income is 3.8 million yuan, please see the big screen for the specific list!"
Almost everyone at the scene was curious about what kind of name this so-called writer's rich list could be arranged, and when the name of the champion of the writer's rich list appeared, the audience couldn't help but exclaim.
The 39-year-old writer Tian Boshui won the championship with a royalty of 59 million yuan, and his classic best-selling representative is "Descendants of the Dragon". ”
Jiangnan, who had competed with Lin Han in the sales rankings, became the runner-up with 44 million yuan, which was his best record in history.
But when people put their eyes on the third runner-up, the familiar name looks particularly dazzling, "Writer Lin Han, born in a mountain city, royalty of 21 million yuan, age 26 years old, masterpiece "Three-Body Problem", etc."
If there is no clue to the popularity award just now, then this income is very revealing, that is, Lin Han is really very, very popular!
This is a pre-tax figure, not only the domestic sales revenue, but also Lin Han's overseas sales revenue, otherwise it would not have been rushed up at all.
Zhou Ming asked in a low voice: "Xiaolin, you made a fortune in a muffled voice, you earned 20 million in the first year of writing the book, it is right not to be a director." How much is your copyright transaction fee?"
With Zhou Ming taking the lead, the rest of the people naturally stretched out their ears and began to listen seriously, they very much hoped that Lin Han could sell the copyright cheaply, this kind of mentality knew that it would not be necessary, but it still faintly grew.
However, something that shocked them even more happened, Lin Han shook his head and said: "I basically make money from the publication of novels, and the copyright transaction fee is not included in it. ”
The eyes of the writers at the main table and the next tables suddenly bulged, and there were even people who couldn't hold their breath and directly raised their mouths to make sounds.
"What? 21 million yuan royalty without royalties?"
"You didn't lie to me, did you?"
"How much money can you sell just by selling books??"
The writers who exchanged ears lost interest in the people at the back of the list of rich writers, and one by one set their eyes on Lin Han, this young man was terrifying.
Tian Boshui's 59 million yuan includes the copyrights of "Descendants of the Dragon" movies, TV series, games and other aspects, and even the copyright transaction fees of many novels he wrote before.
And Lin Han, a newcomer, only sells novels, and his royalty income easily reached 21 million yuan, if he purely calculates royalties, then Lin Han is definitely the champion.
Although his sales in China are not the top, every science fiction novel has become the object of everyone's attention abroad, and it is normal for so many countries and regions to add up to 20 million yuan in manuscript fees.
"If you count the number of copyrights he sells, it won't exceed 59 million, right?" muttered a writer who spoke to the hearts of everyone at the scene, who had been horrified enough before, and now dropped a nuclear bomb.
Another person said unconvinced: "Could it be that his copyright can't be sold at all, and if he can't sell it, the copyright won't be counted." ”
When his words landed, everyone looked at him with the look of a mentally handicapped child, is this possible?
Is it possible that the copyrights of novels with such high sales in the world will not be sold? You should know how hot this market is if you think about it with your toes, not to mention that after tonight, the copyright value of Lin Han's novels may double.
What's more, everyone is not an isolated person, who doesn't know that Lin Han's movie "The Martian" is being prepared at Chang'e Pictures, and "Jurassic Park" is planned by Spielberg in Hollywood.
In fact, because Lin Han used a shareholding model when selling these copyrights, charging a symbolic fee, when these copyrights have not been converted into revenue, the General Administration of Press and Publication will not count this part.
gasped, Zhou Ming was completely convinced, it is true that he writes across borders, but his achievements as a writer are far less than his director, and now he no longer treats Lin Han as a junior, but as a peer.
As the third runner-up, Lin Han once again covered the light of the champion and runner-up, and he never thought about the topic, because any point could be reported.
This statistic is basically eight or nine is not far from ten, Lin Han calculated it in his heart, 21 million before tax, and after paying taxes, Chen Jiaxuan took away 10%, and the difference between his income and the number in the bank card is very small.
I was a little disappointed not to win the championship, but as long as I worked hard behind the copyright, it didn't seem to be very difficult to win the championship.
This list of rich writers is almost a list of writers' worth, and many companies can't help but shed tears of remorse after seeing Lin Han's name, why not buy the copyright of Lin Han's novel before he becomes completely famous.
The developers of the mobile game "The Martian" laughed in the office, they almost won the development right at the price of cabbage, and at the beginning they thought it was a bit too much, but now it seems that it is completely worth the money and a wise investment.
The Writer's Rich List can let more people know about Lin Han's works and make his books sell better, the public is not stupid, they will instinctively filter out good things.
These readers voted for Lin Han with the money in their hands, and this sense of accomplishment is not only a financial return, but also a public recognition of these books!
As an author, Lin Han feels very pleased and proud!
