Forbes' data is obviously not 100% accurate, and if they can figure out the taxes paid by each writer, they may be able to work backwards through the tax rates. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

But that's obviously impossible, and even publishers can't disclose the exact amount of the manuscript fee to Forbes magazine, which is a trade secret!

Of course, there have been publishers who want to falsely report numbers to writers, so that he can be on the Forbes list of the world's richest writers, and then increase the influence of writers.

It's a pity that as soon as Forbes announced it, the U.S. Federal Internal Revenue Service immediately found the writer to verify his income and suspected him of tax evasion!

In fact, there has always been a saying in the United States that "mess with no one and don't mess with the IRS", and the IRS is even more deterrent than the CIA and the FBI.

Since then, no publishing house has dared to casually falsely report the income of its writers, and every time Forbes magazine comes to inquire about the survey, it can only say low!

Of course, Forbes is not stupid, they don't believe the word of the publisher, and they also contact the writers themselves.

Of course, their biggest basis is actually the sales of the work, the sales figure of each book can be queried, and it is not a secret how many tens of thousands of copies this book has sold this year!

The only question is how high the royalties are and how much the books are sold, and the sales figures printed behind the books are not the real price.

None of the bookstores will buy at the sale price, they are all discounted, otherwise how can they make a profit?

Fortunately, there is no impermeable wall in the world, and the approximate purchase price is actually about the same, so many bookstores at home and abroad always reveal it, and the royalties are also relatively easy to inquire.

Although there may be differences in the specific situation, such as what is the share ratio of the electronic version, this is a difference in the contract, unless it is the author and the publisher himself, no one can know!

Therefore, the figures published by Forbes magazine are only an approximate and not so exact.

After several years, Lin Han continued to counterattack, and finally ascended to the championship when he was about to embark on another stage of his life!

At first, he just wanted to copy an article to pay for heating and rent, but who knew that the more he wrote, the more he wrote, the more famous he became, and now he can make hundreds of millions of dollars a year just by writing novels!

If this list appeared at the time when he had just crossed over three years ago, I am afraid that Lin Han himself would not have believed that a science fiction writer from China could overshadow all the other writers!

For Lin Han now, making money is only secondary, and he doesn't have to worry about his money at least in this life, and he can do what he wants to do.

Whether it is to love the mountains and rivers or indulge the rivers and lakes, Lin Han now has enough capital.

But for him, it's still very early to retire, and now he is still very young, so there is no need to mess around like a bad old man!

After Lin Han turned around and returned to the room, he found that Chen Jiaxuan had also got up with his clothes on.

"Honey, I just heard you call, it seems that there is something good about it?"

"Your husband and I have topped the newly released Forbes Global Writers Rich List, and we will celebrate again tonight!"

Chen Jiaxuan couldn't help but feel a little weak when she heard this, she couldn't stand Lin Han's naked eyes, but she felt a burst of pride in her heart, it seemed that her attraction to him had not decreased after being in love for so long.

She pulled the folds on her clothes and said, "Then let's eat and celebrate, and forget the rest of the celebrations." ”

Lin Han smiled dumbly, of course he knew what Chen Jiaxuan meant, so he gently hugged her into his arms and whispered, "Did it really hurt before?"

"You're crazy!"

Chen Jiaxuan retorted and said, "Tomorrow is the charity auction, don't be foolish." ”

The charity auction that has been prepared for so long is finally about to start, and of course Lin Han can't just plant strawberries around Chen Jiaxuan's neck, otherwise it will be difficult to cover it with makeup.

Although Lin Han had already eaten an apple, his stomach was still not full, he and Chen Jiaxuan went to the cafeteria to forage for food after a brief freshening up, and they didn't know if there was anything to eat at this point.

……

The news about Lin Han's strong ascension to the Forbes global writer income list immediately sparked widespread discussion on the Internet, which is $120 million!

It's not 1 dollar and 2 cents!

How many people have worked hard all their lives, and they can't earn a fraction of Lin Han's year, and 120 million US dollars is converted into more than 700 million yuan, not to mention that this income is unique among Chinese writers, and even in the Chinese literary and art circles, it is the first in the Chinese literary and art circles!

It is said that celebrities make more money and make more money, but if you look at the Forbes China Star Income List, the most popular actor is only more than 100 million yuan, and the king of Asian music has also exceeded 100 million yuan with a series of concert tours.

All kinds of movie and television actors and singers don't seem to make as much money as Lin Han alone!

Acting, singing, making movies, and doing variety shows are not as good as writing novels!

It is said that physical novels are not profitable, but Lin Han slapped them a few times loudly, and how many zeros there are in 120 million US dollars are easy to stun the commentators.

Of course, not only Lin Han, but also the writers of online novels also have quite high incomes, the top online writers can break 100 million, and the later ones can also have tens of millions!

If a novel is popular, let alone people who read the genuine version on various channels, the copyright of TV series, movies, animations, mobile games and other copyrights alone is enough to sell tens of millions of yuan.

"The Global Writers Rich List was announced, and Chinese writers were successfully crowned!"

"Chinese science fiction master Lin Han topped the global writers' income list with $120 million!"

"The latest issue of the list of rich writers has been announced, and Lin Han picked James Patterson to rank first!"

"Lin Han made more than 700 million yuan and topped the global writers' income list!"

"The famous young writer and director Lin Han was revealed to have an annual income of more than 100 million US dollars, beating writers all over the world!"

"Lin Han, China's No. 1 selling writer, topped the global list for the first time this year!"

Although this number is not accurate, it has not stopped the media from reporting more, and it seems to have turned into a national carnival.

Most of the time, the image of a writer that comes to people's minds is that kind of poverty, as if only a life of suffering can make wonderful words.

But now, they suddenly found out that being a writer is so profitable, and they don't know how many young people have been fooled by the media into joining the literary world!

Many rookie authors have an idea, since Lin Han's works can sell so well, I don't think I'm bad, even if I can't compare to him, it is enough to have one-tenth or even one percent of his sales.

But in the past two years, there were many people who thought so, and they all felt that their strength was no worse than Lin Han and even the rest, but they just lacked a chance to become famous.

Every time these writers are announced, major publishing houses, magazines, and fiction websites receive snowflakes of submissions, which can torture the editors and dazzle them!

Compared to the media, Lin Han's fans are much calmer, and they don't seem to be surprised at all, UC's shock department has not received an effect for the first time.

"Isn't it a champion? there's something to be surprised about!"

"If someone else earns so much, it's news, but as for Mr. Lin, shouldn't he make so much money?"

"Congratulations to Mr. Lin for winning the championship, don't close the pen after making so much money!"

"James Patterson is just a loser, don't be so hyped. ”

"Low-key and low-key, the wealth is not exposed, Mr. Lin makes so much money and even the car is only a million-level car, it is really simple!"

"It's really not easy for China to produce such a world-class writer, don't kill Mr. Lin~~"

In fact, not only the local media reprinted and praised it, but even the foreign media have also reported it, Forbes itself is an extremely important magazine, such as Russian Pravda, French Liberation and Le Figaro, Italian Republic, British Independent, The Guardian, Mirror, Daily Telegraph, The Times, The Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, International Herald Tribune, USA Today, New York Daily News, New York Times, Chicago Tribune and other world-famous newspapers and periodicals are reporting related things!

In addition, TV stations in various countries will definitely not miss such a big news point, "Forbes" is a well-known magazine in the United States and even the world, this kind of explosive news will of course be hotly promoted.

The first reaction was to several major television stations in the United States, CNN, Fox, ABC, NBC, CBS inserted the news at about the same time, and the British BBC television, Euronews television, Sky News Channel, France TV One, Fuji TV, Radio Asahi, Italian Broadcasting Corporation, Australian national television and even CCTV are all talking about this news.

Even the different channels of CCTV, different news columns, and even the news subtitles scrolling under the TV screen are all reporting the same thing, just want the world to know!

After all, James Patterson has been at the top of the list for so many years, and no one has ever been able to pull him off the throne until this year!

In fact, Lin Han is not likable in terms of nationality, and there are invisible xenophobia in European and American countries, but he was stunned to break these discrimination and exclusion, and forcibly overthrew the rule of the old king, realizing what all writers dream of!

It is precisely because James Patterson firmly occupies the first place every year that Lin Han's sudden rise this year is so different, he has previously won in a head-to-head conversation with James Patterson, and this time he defeated his old rival again, which undoubtedly officially announced such a fact to the world.

The world is ushering in the era of Linhan!
