Lin Han doesn't know if the figures published by Forbes magazine include his income in the domestic market, because in this market, the writers mentioned above are not his opponents!

If he hadn't counted it, he would have been one step closer to the championship position, and the gap would not be as terrible as that of those who came after him. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"$72 million is already pretty good, even if it's just pre-tax. Chen Jiaxuan opened his mouth and said, "It is estimated that there will be a wave of envy, jealousy and hatred." ”

However, Lin Han was now thinking about the rest of the things, he put his hands on the steering wheel, and his heart was full of calculations, "Since it is 72 million US dollars before tax, it must not be so high after tax." And I have a total of 100 million dollars in savings, which proves that I also earned at least 30 million or 40 million dollars last year, why didn't I make the list last year?"

According to Lin Han's calculations, he should have been in the top three last year, not this year!

Last year, he performed equally well in the global book market, "I, Robot", "The Martian", "Jurassic Park", and "The Three-Body Problem" The first part of "The Three-Body Problem" all stayed at the top of the sales list, and it should not be said that it could not be on the list.

Either he was ignored by Forbes magazine last year, or his income this year was seriously underestimated, anyway, Lin Han felt that there was something wrong!

But as long as the money is earned in the bag, these media are not necessarily correct, go back and calculate the number of each transfer in your head and you should be able to draw a conclusion, that is the most authoritative number.

The news of the Voice of CCTV about the global writers' income ranking was broadcast, and then it moved to the price increase of the high-speed rail, and Lin Han was not interested in listening to it anymore, so he turned off the radio directly.

Chen Jiaxuan took out her mobile phone and began to search for relevant news on the Internet, after all, this is also a big deal, she wants to see the trend of public opinion on the Internet, after all, this society has some hatred of the rich, she doesn't want Lin Han's good readership to be destroyed!

Sure enough, it is clear that this news has just been announced, and there are a lot of news related to it, and several major portals have invariably changed this news as the front page, and the rest of the websites and media have reprinted it faster than expected.

China Writers Network: Forbes announced the 2017 list of the world's highest-paid writers, and Chinese writer Lin Han was strongly shortlisted, and is expected to reach the top next year!

Net.Yi Finance: Among the 16 highest-paid writers in the world in 2017, Lin Han ranked second with $72 million!

New Lang Reading: Forbes released the annual writer income list, let's see what gods there are!

Tencent News: James Patterson's annual income is nearly 100 million, and Lin Han's 70 million is second!

CCTV News: Chinese writers have been shortlisted for the first time in the global annual writer income list!

Headlines: God rewards hard work, Lin Han's annual income of 400 million yuan stunned everyone!

This news almost appeared on the Internet in the form of dominating the screen, Chen Jiaxuan even felt that it would be tracked by various TV stations and tomorrow's newspapers, who would have thought that a writer could make $72 million a year?

On the list of rich Chinese writers announced at the Chinese Writers' Annual Conference last year, the first place was only 59 million yuan, and even Lin Han's income last year was only 21 million yuan, which is more than a single digit increase!

Of course, last year, because of statistics, Lin Han's income in the overseas market was not counted, so 21 million yuan could only rank third.

This year's $72 million is a synthesis of the copyrights of book sales, e-book adaptations, movies and TV series around the world, and Lin Han's momentum this year is much stronger than last year, but he didn't expect his income to increase so much!

The media are almost crazy, and they used to just envy other writers, but now they find that their compatriots can make so much money, and most of it is earned from foreigners, this honor is simply empathetic to them.

Not to mention the writers, even those domestic celebrities can only sigh when they face this income, their annual income exceeds 100 million yuan, even if it is very gold-absorbing, such as Fan Bingbing, who ranked first among actors last year, and Jay Chou, who ranked first among singers, compared with Lin Han, their ability to attract money is really a little worse!

What's more, next year, Lin Han will win so many box office dividends from his adapted movies, and this part of the income may be very amazing to calculate, if nothing else, those movies will be box office hits!

In fact, Lin Han should have topped the list of Chinese writers last year, because there was a loophole in the calculation of the rich list, before Lin Han, most writers had no overseas sales at all, so they directly ignored overseas sales when counting.

But just Lin Han's overseas sales far exceed those in China, after all, how can a market be compared with the sum of hundreds of large and small markets?

However, even if only domestic sales are counted this year, then Lin Han should be the first in place, several novels are all sold in China, and one person occupies five seats in the top ten of the annual sales list, and he has snatched places from so many writers!

If none of this can be ranked first, then the rest of the people don't know how strong it will be. Now the headache has been transferred to the organizers of the Chinese Writers' Rich List, whether to add overseas income?

If this part of the income is increased, Lin Han will earn four or five hundred million alone, while the second place will only earn thirty or forty million, and the gap between this level is too big, it is simply not the same level.

Headache, real headache!

……

Almost all the writers' circles are boiling, usually people always say that there is a golden house in the book, and there are thousands of bells in the book, but now Lin Han has finally achieved this goal, and it can even be said that it is a thousand words.

Tens of millions of dollars a year, this is a figure that many people dare not think of, writers are also pyramid-shaped living conditions, and now Lin Han is the one standing at the top of the pyramid of Chinese writers, and everyone in the literary world is stepping on his feet!

When some people are still worried about the monthly manuscript fee, when some people are still crying for the rejection of the manuscript by the publishing house, when some writers are still melancholy about the sluggish sales, Lin Han has quietly stepped onto a new level and began to compete with those famous figures in the world!

"More than 70 million US dollars, I will never be able to earn so much money in ten lifetimes! Even if Lin Han retires now, he will not have to worry about anything for the rest of his life. ”

"Is the overseas market really that hot? I think I can also find a translator to help translate the previous novel, in case it also becomes popular abroad!"

"I'm so envious, but I also have to work hard, not to mention a tenth of what he earns, I only hope to have one hundredth or one thousandth. ”

"Do you have a great god to recommend an overseas publishing company? ”

"I really want Lin Han to teach us a lesson, what kind of novels do foreigners like to read now, I just hope that I can see novels translated into English in my lifetime!"

These writers have always known that Lin Han's novels are very popular overseas, but this concept of being popular is not very strong, after all, there are no too intuitive numbers to compare.

Although Lin Han has the sales figures and achievements of each country in his hands, he is not the kind of person who likes to show off, so he basically doesn't reveal much to the public!

Only those fans who really like his novels will search the world for this data, and even many news reports have been stolen from the data posts painstakingly written by fans of the Hanlin Academy.

The low-key fortune was suddenly exposed, and people found out that Lin Han's popularity overseas was really not just talking!

Today's domestic book market is basically saturated, and it is very difficult to increase book sales, after all, not everyone is named Lin Han, and not everyone can continuously release new books.

Now that Lin Han has climbed on the global writers' income list, it has opened a golden road for them, the domestic market is saturated, but the foreign market is still very broad!

If you can conquer the foreign market, the increase in sales and manuscript fees will obviously be very considerable, and it will be a gold mine waiting for Chinese writers to mine overseas!

There are a lot of red-eyed people, since you Lin Han can sell millions of copies, then I will sell a little less, only sell a million copies, writers with such ideas abound, as if overseas readers are waiting in line to buy novels by Chinese writers.

The impact of the figure of 72 million US dollars has obviously made some writers lose their cool, if there is really such a relaxed and happy foreign country, Chinese writers have successfully gone out in the past, and they still need to wait until now?

Regardless of what others say, the trend has been blowing in the writers' circles, and within a day many writers have started to contact the Chinese branches of overseas publishers, such as Random House, Penguin Publishing Group, McGrawrow-Hill Education Group, Cengage Learning Group, Wake Group, Holtzbrink, Thomson Reuters Publishing Company, etc.

People's hearts become impetuous, and many details cannot be noticed, so people only care about Lin Han's success, but ignore whether their own conditions can afford these successes.

In fact, many writers have a kind of mentality that they don't meet talents, and feel that their works are very good, but others don't know how to appreciate them, as long as they find an opportunity, they can make it shine!

There are many people with similar ideas, no one thinks their work is bad, and many veteran authors can't sit still under this trend of testing overseas markets.

What is Jonghyun?

In terms of sales, whether he can compare to JK Rowling, or can he compare his income with James Patterson, now people look back at the previous Zhong Xuan's provocation and think it is too funny, is this the self-congratulatory of the frog at the bottom of the well, or the hare is dissatisfied with the lion?

Everyone is already competing internationally, how can they have the energy to play family games with him in China, Lin Han's readers have changed from anger at the beginning to indifference now, as if Zhong Xuan is just a nobody!
