Chapter 2 Overnight Popularity

After a busy day, in the evening, when his parents were walking outside, Yang Yang sat in his room, turned on the computer, and found some previous manuscripts of novels.

Yang Shishi and the nanny chatted in the living room, the family nanny invited by Yang Yang is a middle-aged woman in her forties, with an ordinary appearance, an apron on her body, short hair, a slightly chubby body, and a height of about 1.6 meters, called Li Lei, Yang Yang and Yang Shishi call her Sister Li, and Yang's parents call her Xiao Li.

This old computer was also moved to the villa by Yang Yang, because the manuscripts of the novels he wrote before were all in this computer, so he simply did not change to a new computer.

The website signed by Yang Yang is a website called Starting Point Chinese.com, his pen name is called Lei Dong Tianxia, he opened the website, entered the author's background, and found that there was really an extra novel called "Time and Space Hero" in the writer's area.

In the Writers' Zone, the author's published novels are displayed, and the corresponding number of readers' favorites is displayed after the name of each novel.

Yang Yang looked at the number of collections behind "Heroes of Time and Space" and found that there were only 983 collections, and the results were ordinary. Now the book has been published in 110,000 words, and there are not many readers who follow it.

Yang Yang then clicked on the details page of the book and pulled directly to the comment area, and found that the comment area was also deserted, and few readers left messages.

Yang Yang knew that because of the unfinished "The Legend of Tsing Yi", almost all readers were lost. Although he now has a lot of money, and he writes novels to make money, he is still very depressed to see the results of novels so dismal.

Sighing lightly and shaking his head, Yang Yang closed the webpage and opened the Tencent website to find some new games to download and play. Just when Yang Yang opened the homepage of Tencent's website, he was surprised to find that his photo was actually hanging on the website.

And at the top of the photo is written a large caption:

"The post-90s writers in Harbin became rich overnight, and their worth soared by 100 million."

Yang Yang clicked on the headline, entered the news page, and found that this press release had just been released. There is also a subheadline above the news:

"IP adaptation" has become a trend in the entertainment industry, and many of the works written by online writer Lei Dongtianxia have been adapted into "games", "film and television" and other pan-entertainment products.

Seeing these two titles, as well as the fairly handsome photos in the article, Yang Yang opened his mouth wide, exclaimed, and said to himself: "I wipe it? What the hell, when did I have a novel that was adapted? ”

With curiosity and puzzlement, Yang Yang flipped through the webpage and looked at the text of the article, only to see that it was written:

Tencent Entertainment News (Text/Huang Yiping), on January 1, 2016, on the day of the arrival of the New Year's Day, Tencent's China Literature Group signed the author Lei Dongtianxia's two works "Tsing Yi Biography" and "Heroes of Time and Space" sold film and television copyrights and game copyrights respectively, it is reported that the copyright fees sold for these two works have exceeded 100 million.

Before this, Lei Dong Tianxia was just an unknown street writer. Lei Dongtianxia's real name is Yang Yang, and according to the author himself, his remuneration is only about 2,000 yuan per month, barely supporting himself. Now that the two novels have been successfully sold for high copyright fees, the author himself must be very excited. Recently, the press conference will conduct an exclusive interview with Yang Yang, please look forward to the author's own voice.

At the bottom of the article, there is also the signature of the responsible editor, and the name of Huang Yiping is still written on it.

Yang Yang finished reading the article and closed the web page. Excited, he is no longer in the mood to download the game, he is now a double harvest of fame and wealth, the money is there, and the fame is out.

"Huang Yiping, your technology is really hard enough, think about it, even the characters in the world of fiction can be simulated and created, and it is very easy to crack these ordinary websites." Yang Yang was muttering to himself in the room, he knew that this was a rumor article deliberately released by Huang Yiping, just to increase his popularity.

Thinking of popularity, Yang Yang opened the novel website again and entered the author's backstage. Sure enough, the collections of "The Legend of Tsing Yi" and "Heroes of Time and Space" have doubled.

The previous collection of "The Legend of Tsing Yi" was more than 5,000, and now it is more than 10,000. The number of collectors of "Heroes of Time and Space" has also grown to 6,000.

And the book review area of the two novels has also come back to life, leaving more and more messages, although most of the comments are "bubbling" and "leaving footprints" and the like, but Yang Yang is still very pleased, this is the situation he once dreamed of.

Now that the dream has finally come true, Yang Yang can't wait to find Huang Yiping immediately to thank him in person, which is more exciting than giving him 100 million.

Because Yang Yang cares more about his face and popularity, his relatives and friends looked down on his profession before, but now he finally has the capital to show off.

Sure enough, some friends soon called him, all congratulating him on his successful career. Yang Yang explained that the article on the website was a rumor, but even the photos were put in the news, and the friends who called him did not believe it, believing that the news was the truth, and asked Yang Yang to invite them to a big dinner.

Hanging up one congratulatory call after another, Yang Yang lay on the computer chair, took a deep breath, sat up and opened the author's background of the novel website again, and found that the number of people collecting the two books had reached more than 50,000.

Because there are lists such as click lists and collection lists on the novel website, the two novels "The Legend of Tsing Yi" and "Heroes of Time and Space" quickly appeared on these two lists, plus people who saw the news, it can be said that the popularity of these two books has skyrocketed.

Although the ending of the book "The Legend of Tsing Yi" is unfinished, and the full plot is a bit bloody, there is no fatal poison point, at least it is not too bad, and the average reader can still read it, and now that he is famous, it will naturally become popular.

"Heroes of Time and Space" is a novel adapted from Yang Yang's own personal experience, and it was jointly ghostwritten by Huang Yiping and the editor-in-chief of Qiwei, and the plot is relatively novel, and the writing is not bad. When more readers discover this book, they will certainly be willing to collect it.

In this way, the popularity of the two books doubled, and Yang Yang was about to go crazy with excitement, which can be regarded as an overnight hit.

Yang Yang calmed down, opened the news page on Tencent's homepage again, and found that the article published by Huang Yiping had been deleted, it seems that the administrator of the website found out that the news was a rumor, and there was no reporter named Huang Yiping in Tencent.

Yang Yang refreshed the webpage and found that the website issued an announcement, which read:

"The news about the post-90s online writers selling more than 100 million copyright fees is a rumor, and netizens are also requested to report to the website after discovering similar articles in the future, and resolutely put an end to rumor-mongering and propaganda by illegal means!"

Yang Yang looked at this announcement and could see that the administrator of the website was very angry, and he would definitely be deducted from his salary after such a mistake. He smiled, anyway, he became popular, and the popularity of the novel also increased, at least he was a celebrity in the circle of Internet writers......

It was already about half past nine in the evening, and the parents who were walking outside also returned to the villa, and the couple came directly to Yang Yang's room, opened the door, and saw that Yang Yang was still sitting in front of the computer, so they told him to rest early.

Yang Yang nodded, but he didn't tell his parents about his popularity, because he was deceiving his parents and saying that he got millions after his novel was adapted into film and television, and he didn't want to deceive him anymore.

In this way, the husband and wife returned to their bedrooms, and the nanny also returned to her room to rest, and Yang Shishi came to Yang Yang's room.

Seeing Yang Yang's happy face, Yang Shishi wondered: "What good happened, why is the master so happy?" ”

Yang Yang looked back at Yang Shishi, wiped his nose, and said, "How many times have you said it, don't call me a master anymore." Call me brother or just call me by my name in the future. ”

Yang Shishi pouted, wrinkled her little nose, and said, "Okay, Brother Yang Yang, why are you so happy?" ”

Yang Yang jumped up directly from the chair and threw himself over to press Yang Shishi on the bed.

Yang Shishi blushed and pushed Yang Yang away, sat up and lowered her head and said shyly: "Shishi is not a pedantic person, if the teacher ...... My brother likes poetry, so he should also give poetry a name, and he can't come nonsense before getting married. ”

Yang Yang sighed, slapped himself, kept apologizing to Yang Shishi, and said: "You misunderstood, I didn't mean that, I just got carried away with joy." You know, I'm on fire, and I'm a little celebrity now. ”

Yang Shishi looked at Yang Yang with a puzzled expression, how could she, a person in the world of novels, know what "fire" means? She pondered for a while, suddenly showed a shocked look, looked at Yang Yang, and asked rhetorically, "Could it be that the master has cultivated the peerless divine skill of the fire attribute?" ”

"Uh......"

Yang Yang was stunned, looked at Yang Shishi speechlessly, and it took a long time to explain the meaning of "fire" to Yang Shishi.

But Yang Shishi was still puzzled and asked: "Is there any benefit to being known by many people?" Didn't you say that in this world, you can't be too public, you have to talk less and do more? ”

This sentence stopped Yang Yang, yes, he is already a billionaire, what is the use of wanting these popularity, is face really so important?

was asked by Yang Shishi, Yang Yang noticed that he was too carried away, he is now like those stars who have been hyped up, and he is already very rich, what is the use of having more popularity?

Yang Yang sighed deeply, looked at the simple poems, and said: "You're right, fame is all some ethereal things, I'm too excited." In the future, my brother will still need your supervision, and if you find me as carried away as I am today, wake me up like now, and don't let me indulge in some illusory things. ”

Yang Shishi shook her head and said suspiciously: "I didn't say anything, I don't understand what you mean." ”

Yang Yang smiled and said to her: "After a long time in this world, you will understand." ”
