The Writers Rich List is an important melody of the annual meeting, and it is also the thing that the on-site media reporters pay the most attention to, because the general public does not care who wins the award, but they are curious about how much money these writers make in a year. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

This curiosity has caused the list of writers to quickly spread to all parts of the Internet, and the income of writers is constantly rising every year, as if there is no boundary.

From this list, readers can fully feel the trend and unique charm of original Chinese literature, what kind of novels are more popular, and which author is the real king of sales?

On this year's Rich List of Writers, fantasy works firmly occupy the top three positions, Tian Boshui, Jiang Nan, and Lin Han are all standard fantasy writers, everyone has a big brain, and has unlimited fantasies.

Whether it's fantasy, fantasy, science fiction or magic, all of them belong to the big category of fantasy literature.

Fantasy is the best-seller, and on the list, fantasy writers are the biggest winners, with teenage readers accounting for the vast majority.

This phenomenon is also manifested all over the world, for example, in Europe and the United States, the best-selling books are fantasy novels such as Harry Potter and Twilight.

The reason why fantasy works can sell well is related to a person's psychological need for hot-blooded and inspirational stories before going deep into the real world during adolescence.

Therefore, on the Internet, the fantasy novels of the counterattack of waste materials have endured for a long time, and don't bully the poor of young people has become a classic sentence.

China's reading market is also becoming more and more in line with international standards.

The once smash hit youth literature and urban emotional novels have taken a back seat in sales, and both Han Han and Guo Xiaosi have declined step by step, and even new books have not been published.

The strong rise of fantasy literature has also reminded ******** that novels are sold mainly by the content of the work, rather than by the writer's appearance or popularity.

In the past two years, there are some ******** in the publishing circle who are eager for quick success seem to have gone astray, and when they choose an author, the first thing they consider is whether the author has fans, and having fans is a favorable basis for the book to sell well.

This also makes the group of writers larger than before, not only writers in the traditional sense, but also not just stars who debuted in the traditional sense, but also a popular Weibo celebrity, joker, and bedtime storyteller.

As long as there are enough fans and popularity, posting beautified selfies on Weibo, this type of high-value little fresh meat will begin to seize the best-selling market.

Of course, the Chicken Soup for the Soul essay seems to never go out of style, even if there are more and more poisonous chicken soups, but all kinds of spiritual writer queens are popular in the circle of friends.

Modern people live at a fast pace and work pressure, and people generally need a spiritual healing series, and there is a great demand for high-quality chicken soup for the soul.

Now physical books are slow media, and if you want to survive in the era of fast media, you need thickness. People need both fragmented reading and thick reading, because who reads is not the owner of knowledge, but the way of knowledge circulation.

The Writer's Rich List is the main list, and some other sub-lists were also announced immediately, such as the Star Writers List, Penguin Writers Rich List, Comic Writers Rich List, Screenwriters Rich List, Foreign Writers Rich List, etc.

The writers and income on these lists seem to be difficult to compare with the main list, just as a snack after tea and dinner, people are still immersed in the surprise brought by 59 million yuan, digesting Lin Han's hard sales strength of 21 million yuan.

At this time, the rich list of online writers was quietly announced, and the writers, including Lin Han, were dumbfounded.

Tang Jiasan, an online writer who ranks first, earns 110 million yuan in royalties! As a representative of online literature, it is not unusual for him to rank first, but what is unusual is this total.

The previous 59 million yuan has already surprised the people who eat melons, and now there is 110 million yuan, which is the first writer in China whose royalty income has exceeded 100 million yuan, raising the income to an appalling level.

In second place is the writer Eggplant, whose annual royalty income is more than 70 million yuan.

"Crazy!"

Lin Han was originally a little proud, but now after seeing the explosion of online writers' income, he began to face up to the fact that he was still a little short of a high income.

Now I still have a bet on me, I can't lose it, right?

He didn't care about looking at the rest of the people on the rich list of online writers, and directly began to search for the pen names of the three writers "Return of the Dead", "Lotus Rich Bamboo", and "Favorite Duck Neck".

At the beginning, he was stupid to take over the war book, will these three writers succeed?

Last year, the return of the dead ranked 24th with an income of 12 million yuan, and this year he wanted to step on Lin Han's position, but his dream was quietly shattered.

Although the ranking and income have increased this year, there is still a gap of several million yuan from Lin Han's 21 million yuan, and he only has 16.5 million yuan.

And "Dark Doomsday" ranked outside the top 30 with an income of 8 million yuan, which is obviously a good result.

After seeing this, Lin Han breathed a sigh of relief, and he began to search for the three online science fiction writers who had formed a group to provoke him, and the positions that he had deliberately paid attention to when entering the venue were already empty.

Lin Han raised his eyebrows, and just as a staff member passed by, he asked in a low voice, "I'm sorry, why are the three writers over there missing?"

"It seems to have left more than ten minutes ago, and the undead said that he had food allergies, and the other two took him to the hospital. Is there anything else you need?"

"No, thank you. Lin Han touched his nose, the three of them were really fast.

Although he is not ready to kill them all, at least he has to look at their faces, he was still happy more than ten minutes ago, where would he notice others walking away.

There are more writers who keep getting up at the annual meeting, and everyone is in a straight suit, and they may not be able to recognize it.

He sighed with some regret, and the future was long.

In fact, the return of the dead and the lotus rich bamboo had already understood the ending when the main list of the writers' rich list came out, and they were like ashes after seeing Lin Han's 21 million, and they were even more restless when they heard that this was still not counting the copyright transaction fee.

They knew their own affairs, and none of the three of them could exceed 20 million, so instead of waiting to sit here and be slapped in the face by Lin Han, it was better to sneak away quietly while no one was paying attention.

After the three of them summed it up, they quietly withdrew, waving their sleeves without taking a single cloud with them.

After seeing these data, Chen Jiaxuan also breathed a sigh of relief, she was still worried about Lin Han's betting, but it seemed that the Internet was calm, because there was too much news tonight.

The media can't be reported, and netizens also have some indigestion, as long as they are not brought up, no one will think of it.

At this time, Lin Han's fans were celebrating their great success at the writers' annual meeting, and the failed online novel readers pretended to have amnesia one by one, and neither party said anything, and the rest of them didn't know.

The annual meeting basically came to an end, and in order to avoid congestion when he left the venue for a while, Lin Han held the three trophies on the table with both hands, and then asked the staff to take the bunch of wheat ears, and walked out accompanied by Li Wenyuan.

Li Wenyuan enviously took a trophy, touched it with his hand, and said, "Do you know? This seems to be the first trophy that our science fiction novels have won at the annual meeting. ”

"Isn't it?

Lin Han was taken aback, it was so difficult for science fiction works to be brilliant!

"At the height of science fiction in the last century, there was no such thing as an annual meeting. It wasn't until 2,000 years later that the annual meeting began, and science fiction was in the doldrums. ”

Since this is the case, then Lin Han was also generous, and he said: "I allow you to help me get to the parking lot, have you touched enough at this time? I will definitely use a towel to wipe it a few more times when I go back." ”

At this time, the reporters were still outside, and after they saw Lin Han, who had won a big victory, walk out with a smile on his face, they began to take pictures of Lin Han with their cameras one by one.

The trophy, which was originally shrouded in darkness, was suddenly lit up into daylight.

Even though these reporters tried their best to invite Lin Han to interview, Lin Han just shook his head, and then walked away quickly with his side face avoiding the flashlight, not giving the slightest face at all.

At this time, a young reporter with an internship card asked a little puzzled: "What's the matter with him, other reporters can't be interviewed by us, so he just ran away." After winning a few awards, it swells like this, I think I will definitely hurt Zhongyong in the back. ”

"Joke, our news agency didn't make an appointment with Lin Han, where did you come from Southern Weekend. No wonder it's an intern, I didn't understand anything, I really thought it was the uncrowned king. ”

Zhu Daxing, a reporter from Xinhua News Agency who was checking the photos he had just taken, said sarcastically, he was a reporter, but he was also a reader of Lin Han, and his income of 21 million yuan included dozens of yuan he contributed.

At this time, I heard a little intern slandering his idol, it must be unbearable, not to mention that there is a contradiction between these two media.

The reporters around are almost all old fritters, and they are happy to watch jokes and teach newcomers a good lesson.

"People have capital, you look about the same age as him, did you earn 210,000 or 21,000?"

"Who doesn't know that Lin Han rarely gives interviews, and we don't want to do it when we go to the magazine to make an appointment. The special correspondent of the People's Daily rolled his eyes.

"This is probably the real writer, who writes as an otaku all day, but is reluctant to come out and participate in activities. We've done a special topic before, which is about the commercialization of writers. thought that Lin Han, who had changed careers from a director, must know how to manage himself, but the result was good, but he was more conservative and low-key than those seemingly conservative writers. ”

When it came to his favorite author, Zhu Daxing was also interested, and he leaned over and asked, "What does this mean, let's talk about it specifically." ”

The reporters at the scene were all listeners, and the man did not sell it, and said bluntly: "The open secret of the publishing industry is that very few writers can make a living from writing books alone. Most of the most successful writers, both domestic and foreign, earn most of their income from public speaking, consulting or teaching, and they also use the attention their work brings to raise their fees. For them, writing and publishing is just a prop to raise the price.

For example, an economic reporter I know, Zhao Tianyi, after he wrote an economics work, he relied on a lecture tour to make money, and the major universities across the country went around to train some government agencies or enterprises, and a speech cost more than 100,000 yuan, and he could go to five or more colleges and universities in the same city to give speeches in a week.

Of course, things are a little tougher for fiction writers, and the organizers of conferences or other events will pay a handsome presentation fee to a well-known non-fiction writer, but they are not willing to pay a fiction writer.

Writers are becoming more and more like pop stars, who used to make money mainly by selling records, but now records are just sales tools, mainly relying on concerts and commercial performances to make money.

The last time you saw him give a speech was when I went to Tsinghua University to be a firefighter, and the level of the speech was estimated to be 200,000 yuan.

Not to mention magazine interviews, even the olive branches extended by many TV stations were rejected by him. I have a grapevine here, it is said that his agent is his girlfriend, so he doesn't care about these at all, as long as Lin Han is unwilling to do something, she supports it. ”

The reporters at the scene sighed almost in unison, Lin Han is really a winner in life, making so much money and living as he wants, and his love life is actually happy.

Nowadays, Lin Han has almost no black spots, and if the news wants to hack Lin Han, he can only turn over old accounts, but he repeatedly said that director Lin Han hit the street with a movie, which seems to be useless if he talks too much.

Isn't it just a movie, none of the directors in the entertainment industry have ever made a bad movie, and even Zhang Yimou still has all kinds of miserable memories, not to mention Lin Han, a rookie director.

……

It was late at night, but Chen Jiaxuan was completely sleepy, leaning on the sofa in silk pajamas, browsing the latest news with her iPad.

When she saw Lin Han leaving with the trophy and the ears of wheat left, the whole person laughed and trembled, "I don't bring anything, but I remember to bring the ears of wheat back, this person is really good." ”

In fact, in addition to Chen Jiaxuan, Lin Han's fans are really moved, they know that it is easy to throw these things aside when they give them to idols, and they can't escape this fate by sending flowers and various special handicrafts.

Even if Lin Han left the wheat ears at the venue, the fans understood very well, after all, the trophy is more important than the wheat ears, isn't it?

Now seeing Lin Han clumsily holding three trophies with both hands, and having to hold the ears of wheat, the scholars of the Hanlin Academy seem to be even more moved, such an author is so warm!

There are not many things that fans ask for, and such an unintentional small act has made Lin Han have a lot of hardcore fans. (To be continued.) )
