Chapter 141: Earning tens of millions a year by writing online novels! (Subscribe)
Although Shen Qiushan was not sure whether his son and Luo Yao's long-distance relationship would run into problems soon.
But based on various cases on the Internet, the probability of problems in long-distance relationships is too high.
Therefore, not having unexpected surprises is often good for all four of them!
Of course, Shen Qiushan knew his own brat, and Shen Yixiao had no other thoughts at the moment, but no one could guarantee what the situation was on Luo Yao's side.
What if your little brat goes over to give you a surprise and sees something he shouldn't see? Not only will he be sad, but it may also lead to unnecessary conflicts.
Breaking up is not scary.
But Shen Qiushan hoped that if his son really broke up with Luo Yao, it would be in a decent way.
At least it wasn't because of some melodramatic incident like "being caught cheating".
However, after listening to his father's words, Shen Yixiao's eyes lit up.
Surprise attack!
This is a good idea!
Yaoyao will be so touched that she will die!
As expected, the older you get, the wiser you get. I guess my dad must have used this trick of giving surprises a lot when he was pursuing my mom!
Shen Yixiao thought silently in his heart.
Originally, when his father agreed to let him go to Beijing during the National Day holiday, he had already opened the chat box with Luo Yao to tell her the good news.
But now he changed his mind.
A surprise that falls from the sky is much more romantic than a planned date.
“Chen Yanran, don’t tell Luo Yao about this yet.”
Shen Yixiao was worried that the news would reach Luo Yao's ears from Shen Yanran, so he leaned over to her ear and whispered in her ear.
"I don't care about your business!"
Shen Yanran didn't even raise her head, and continued to climb the stairs to read the messages in the class group.
The male-female ratio of Class 1 of the Department of Electrical Engineering where his father Shen Qiushan was studying was exactly the opposite. There were 36 students in Class 2 of Journalism where Shen Yanran was studying, including 26 girls and only 10 boys.
As the saying goes, "three women make a drama", where there are more women, there are more gossips. On the second day of school, two girls in Shen Yanran's class started to quarrel in the class group.
With such a big melon to eat, Shen Yanran was too lazy to care about her brother Shen Yixiao's love affairs.
Shen Qiushan drove the car to the girls' dormitory area with ease.
Lin Jiayu and Xu Pipa, who had received the notice long ago, were already waiting downstairs.
"Brother-in-law, what are we celebrating with this meal today?"
After getting in the car, Lin Jiayu asked with a smile.
"Celebrating the sale of the film and television rights to the novel."
Shen Qiushan replied casually.
"ah?"
“Really?!”
Lin Jiayu was shocked and her beautiful eyes widened.
Not only her, but everyone else in the car was also shocked.
Film and TV rights sold!
It sounds so grand!
And it smells like money!!
Shen Yanran simply stopped eating melons for the time being. What's the difference between her father being rich and her being rich?
This is a matter of great importance concerning one’s own interests!
"Dad, which book?"
Shen Yanran leaned her head on the back of the passenger seat and asked while looking at her father's profile.
Lin Xiamo, who was sitting in the passenger seat, was also very curious. She was a loyal reader of "I Really Don't Want to Be Reborn".
If the film and television rights of this book are sold, she is really looking forward to the subsequent film and television adaptation.
"It's the one that was serialized in Penguin Novels."
"The contract was just signed this afternoon."
Shen Qiushan replied while steering.
"How much did it sell for?"
"Then our family has become completely prosperous!"
Shen Yanran continued to ask.
The eyes of several people in the car also fell on Shen Qiushan, and it was obvious that everyone was very concerned about this topic.
Shen Qiushan did not give a direct answer, but stretched out a finger.
"One million?!"
Shen Yanran exclaimed, and her beautiful eyes suddenly curved into crescents: "Dad, you are so amazing!"
“That’s another million dollars!”
Lin Jiayu pouted and said, "If I had known I had made a million, I shouldn't have eaten crayfish!"
“We should go to the city for a nice meal!”
Shen Yixiao chuckled: "Dad, you are so rich now, can you give me more funds when I go to Beijing during the National Day holiday!"
After listening to the two children and Lin Jiayu, Shen Qiushan shook his head gently, and then said calmly: "Not one million"
ah?
"It can't be just 100,000, that's too cheap!"
The imagination of these three "little kids" Shen Yanran, Shen Yixiao and Lin Jiayu is still too limited, and they don't even dare to guess in the direction of 10 million.
Because in their opinion, it is a bit outrageous to sell the copyright of an online novel for tens of millions.
Lin Xiamo, who was sitting in the passenger seat, asked, "Did it sell for 10 million?"
Since she had been following Shen Qiushan's novel, Lin Xiamo also went to learn about the market situation of online novels. The copyrights of some popular fantasy novels could even be sold for tens of millions.
Due to factors such as restrictions on adaptation, the copyright value of urban novels is relatively low, but a novel like Shen Qiushan's is so popular that it can sell for hundreds of millions or even tens of millions.
After all, the monthly royalties are hundreds of thousands, if the film and television copyright is only sold for one million, it is indeed too low!
"Yes, ten million."
Shen Qiushan nodded gently, confirming Lin Xiamo's guess.
"Wow!"
"Ten million!!"
"Brother-in-law, then you'd be a multi-millionaire!"
Lin Jiayu couldn't help but sigh.
"Ten million?"
"Then I'm a second-generation rich man!"
There seemed to be brilliant starlight hidden in Shen Yanran's eyes, which had been curved into crescents.
"Dad, we're going to Beijing during the holidays, so I want 10,000 yuan, right?"
Shen Yixiao was always thinking about going to Beijing to date Luo Yao.
Almost at the same time.
The editorial department of Jiangcheng Evening News.
Wang Zhixin was still sitting at his workstation working overtime.
Ever since Shen Qiushan became the top scorer in liberal arts in Sanjiang Province and he was severely slapped in the face, Wang Zhixin's life has become difficult.
Before, I could get traffic from scolding Shen Qiushan, but after he successfully counterattacked, scolding him no longer had any traffic, and I was instead hit back by the traffic.
And at the time when he was slapped in the face, his arch-enemy took the opportunity to grab the vacant deputy director position of the department, and became his immediate superior.
Wang Zhixin's life naturally became more difficult, as today's overtime work was the result of his boss's embarrassment.
After finishing the work at hand, Wang Zhixin habitually browsed the latest news on major social media to see if there was any news that could be dug up.
Suddenly, an article published by Penguin Novels caught his attention.
[He became a god with his book, and he was the top scorer in the college entrance examination]
Ever since experiencing the Shen Qiushan incident, Wang Zhixin has become extremely sensitive to the words “top scorer in the college entrance examination.”
He quickly clicked on the article.
Today, the film and television rights of the work "I Really Don't Want to Be Reborn" by our site's contracted writer "Chen Buke" were sold for 10 million yuan!
At the signing ceremony, I finally met this mysterious new writer!
And I got a shocking news. It turned out that the new writer with the pen name "Chen Bu Ke" was actually Shen Qiushan, the top scorer in the liberal arts college entrance examination in Sanjiang Province!
I believe everyone is familiar with the name Shen Qiushan. In this year's college entrance examination, he won the top spot in the liberal arts in Sanjiang Province with a score of 709.
At the age of 38, he also set the record for the oldest top scorer in the college entrance examination in recorded history.
And I never dreamed that the new writer who had been communicating with me on the Internet under the pen name "Chen Bu Ke" would actually be the top scorer in the college entrance examination who caused a sensation across the country!
What I want to say is that excellent people can indeed achieve excellent results in any field.
For example, this novel serialized by Shen Qiushan on my website topped all the major rankings as soon as it was released!
The novel has achieved the outstanding result of “100,000 average subscriptions” before it was completed.
Today, the film and television copyright of the novel was sold for tens of millions of yuan.
This article is quite long, with almost three thousand words, and the author is "Wutong", the editor of Penguin Novels.
In the article, he recounted in detail the story of "Chen Bu Ke" from a "new writer" to selling copyrights of his works for tens of millions.
Wang Zhixin, who was sitting in front of the computer, felt his scalp tingling just from watching it!
Shen Qiushan wrote an online novel and sold the film and television rights for 10 million!
Suddenly hearing this news was more painful than killing him.
The "enemy" not only became the top scorer in the college entrance examination and was successfully admitted to his ideal university, but now he has even become a multi-millionaire by writing online novels!
This is more than just rubbing salt into his wounds.
Instead, after sprinkling salt, they sprayed pepper water on it!
After reading the article published by Penguin Novels, he quickly followed the link to open the book written by Shen Qiushan. He rarely read online novels and even looked down on it in his heart.
Therefore, he had no idea about the profit model of online novels, nor did he know how to judge the performance of a book.
But even so, he could still see that Shen Qiushan's book should perform well.
The number of collectors exceeds 500,000, ranking seventh on the monthly ticket list.
Wang Zhixin clicked on the first chapter and started reading.
After about half an hour, he stopped.
As a journalist, his writing skills are naturally impeccable, and the quality of Shen Qiushan's novel has exceeded his expectations. In his impression, online novels are synonymous with "shoddy" and "vulgar".
Although Shen Qiushan's novel is not particularly well written, the writing is fluent and the story is vivid and interesting.
However, the film and television rights of such an online novel could actually be sold for 10 million.
Wang Zhixin still felt that it was a bit too much!
If he could earn 10 million just by writing online novels of this quality, then why would he still be a reporter?
Why not just write an online novel?
After pondering the computer screen for a while, Wang Zhixin's eyes suddenly lit up.
Traffic!
This is all traffic!
He opened Shen Qiushan's novel again, but this time he didn't just read it, he also took notes carefully.
Of course, the places he recorded are all "flaws" in this novel.
Two hours later.
Wang Zhixin once again spoke passionately in front of the camera.
"When I was watching the news today, I saw an article about someone making 10 million yuan by writing online novels!"
"Looking more closely, wow, the one who got rich is actually an old acquaintance!"
“That’s right, it’s Shen Qiushan!”
"One of his novels actually sold for tens of millions of dollars. With an attitude of learning, I carefully read Mr. Shen's masterpiece."
“This is really an eye-opener!”
“It can even be said that my three perspectives have been completely destroyed!”
"The male protagonist in Mr. Shen's novel is a complete scumbag who plays with and deceives the feelings of kind and innocent girls, and has a tendency to keep a mistress."
“I don’t know where Mr. Shen got the inspiration to create such a scumbag character!
"Also, I'd like to ask which film and television company spent tens of millions of dollars to purchase the film and television rights to such a world-shattering online novel?"
"Are these things made to promote the idea that men should be scumbags?"
“I don’t think any film and television company would do this!”
"So, I seriously doubt whether this is malicious hype?"
"Of course, it is not ruled out that there are film and television companies that really like this kind of work."
"But I want to say that if you are really willing to spend 10 million to buy the film and television rights of such a novel, then, in fact, I can also write it!"
"I don't need 10 million, 8 million will be enough. If that doesn't work, then 5 million will do."
Wang Zhixin found that he became particularly enthusiastic when criticizing Chen Qiushan. He did not even need to do NG when recording the video and could finish it in one go.
Video sent.
Wang Zhixin stretched, then left the unit humming a little tune.
The traffic on his Kuaiyin account has actually been quite low recently, and no matter what he posts, netizens always mention that he should change his name to "Shen Zhixin".
After all, I lost the bet with Shen Qiushan before!
After Shen Qiushan became the top scorer in the college entrance examination, in order to continue making a living in the Internet industry, he actually posted an apology video.
But netizens didn't buy it and continued to criticize him harshly.
Seeing that it was useless to apologize or not, Wang Zhixin simply deleted the apology video!
A month and a half later, Wang Zhixin mentioned Shen Qiushan again in his video, and the originally sluggish traffic really picked up.
On the way home, Wang Zhixin looked at the video data while waiting for the red light, and the number of comments had exceeded one thousand.
As expected, it has to be Shen Qiushan!
It’s simply my traffic password!
Wang Zhixin felt very happy in his heart.
In fact, before Wang Zhixin released the video, related news was also released on Penguin Novel’s Kuaiyin account.
It’s just that Penguin Novels is promoting this matter in a positive way.
The oldest top scorer in the college entrance examination in history earned 10 million yuan by writing online novels!
Once such news comes out, it will naturally attract a lot of attention.
Therefore, after Penguin Fiction released the video, some media outlets had already reprinted or reported the news.
As the attention grew and more and more media reported on it, Shen Qiushan's name once again became a hot search!
In the WeChat group of Class 1 of the Department of Electrical Engineering.
Sun Peng, who likes to chat in the group, directly posted the video of the media reporting the incident.
Sun Peng: @沉秋山老沈 Is this news true? ?
Sun Peng: If it’s true, shouldn’t we send a red envelope?
Zhou Jianyu: Waiting for the big red envelope from Old Shen!
Feng Sicong: Holy crap! Ten million! My roommate is actually a multi-millionaire!
Bao Beibei: It’s equivalent to one of our houses in Shanghai. Hehe, luckily we have three.
