In the beginning, I just wanted to make money

Chapter 90 Effect…

The author of "The Best in the World", at the same time, earned more than 2 million in just half a year by doing programs!

When these two identities are put together, the feeling is immediately different.

Talent + wealth!

And he started from scratch...

A lot of media reported on him, and Shen Xudong also had an intuitive feeling - two stops after the book signing, the number of media interviewing him obviously increased...

And the question asked has changed from "No. 1 in the world" to "How much money do you make?"...

Alas, people are impetuous...

The weight of the author of "No. 1 in the World" is actually less than two million!

Even Qin Wen called him to ask if he really made more than two million...

Also, the students only knew that he made money and became famous, but they didn’t know how much he earned...

I quickly explained it, to the effect that ‘the money earned by the company is not earned by me’ and ‘I still have to pay taxes’…

Isn’t wealth revealed in vain?

Make money, make money, but don't let people know you are rich!

However, Shen Xudong does make a lot of money. "In-Depth Analysis" is currently broadcast on about 22 TV stations. Basically, he signed a half-year contract. Each period's income is close to 30,000, and he can share half of it...

The bulk of it is actually the income from "No. 1 in the World". The book copyrights from eight countries in Southeast Asia plus one dollar are close to one million yuan!

In addition, Chengtian won the TV adaptation fee of "The Best in the World" and hired the original author as the screenwriter. The licensing fee + screenwriting fee also amounted to 600,000...

In short, it is possible to buy another house.

Shen Xudong is going to change a car...

…

As the book signing entered the second half, a provocative reporter asked Shen Xudong what he thought of Han Han and Guo Jingming...

"Just sit and watch...I don't know them..."

"Then what do you think about Han Han's theory that reading is useless?"

Shen Xudong thought for a while and said: "If the purpose of living is just to live, I think it doesn't matter whether you study or not. Even if you don't go to school, many people in this society can support themselves, support their parents, marry and have children, and even become extremely rich. , this is how society works.

But if you have a dream, and your dream is the stars and the sea, and the rise of China, then you must read more! If you want to break through class restrictions and move from a small village to a big city, I can't think of any other way besides studying! "

That's the way it is, how could studying be useless?

He felt that his answer was particularly appropriate, his words could not be called sharp, and his posture was very elegant!

Then the media reported - "Shen Xudong does not approve of Han Han"...

This is pretty good, "Shen Xudong reprimands Han Han for his views", "Shen Xudong: Of course reading is useful!" 》…

To make it clear, I want to start a scolding war...

Swearing wars are the best way to attract attention, and media hype sells newspapers...

Although Shen Xudong was not very willing, Shen Haobo was happy to see it happen - having a verbal spat with an already famous celebrity was actually stepping on his shoulders to get in the position!

If there really is a scolding war, Shen Xudong's popularity can be quickly increased...

It's a pity... Han Han himself did not respond, even though many media quoted Han Han's "Bathing in a Cotton Jacket" and his sentence "Seven red lights, illuminating my future"...

"Bathing in a Cotton Jacket" is actually a criticism of the education system. It quotes a passage: "Junior high school is enough for all basic subjects. If you continue to study, you will have to develop your specialties and hobbies. If you still study all the basic subjects in high school, Subject, that is like wearing a cotton-padded jacket to take a shower, which is superfluous. ’

This is a good point, but the problem is that most people don’t know or have no hobbies, specialties, or interests at all, let alone their future career development direction...

Han Han is very smart. He knows that he must not advocate these things anymore...

If he doesn't pick up the fight, the controversy will go away...

As for Guo Jingming, in fact, there is not much controversy about Guo Jingming at this stage. There are only a few voices accusing his "Fantasy City" of plagiarizing "The Legend"...

After all, "Holy Legend" is not a popular comic. We have to wait for "How Many Flowers Fall in Dreams" to be released - don't rush, it will only take half a year!

At this stage, Guo Jingming’s personality is: the leader of youth literature.

"In this sad and bright March, I am rushing through my thin youth, passing through the purple pansy, passing through the kapok, and passing through the sadness, joy and impermanence that appear and disappear."

If Han Han has won many fans with his unique and rebellious attitude of challenging the exam-oriented education system, Guo Jingming has written about the feelings, melancholy and sadness of youth with gorgeous and beautiful words like this, thus becoming a symbol of youth. The leader of Pai literature.

Youth literature…

From the perspective of mainstream literature, it is the same as the martial arts genre and belongs to the fringe literature, with little value for discussion...

Guo Jingming himself has not caused any trouble yet...

But one thing is that Shen Xudong is 1.83 meters tall, and he wears well-dressed clothes. In summer, he basically wears solid color T-shirts + 9-point pants + canvas shoes... and his hair style is calipers...

The main thing is that he is handsome and very photogenic!

Shen Haobo also wanted to arrange a kiss from a supermodel...but Shen Xudong decisively refused...

What kind of kiss?

I don’t like kissing, I just want to take the right path!

Ahem, don’t underestimate your appearance, this face alone has been on the cover of two magazines...

The titles are: "New Martial Arts Leaders born in the 1980s" and "World Writers born in the 1980s"

That’s right, they all have a prefix: post-80s!

There is no way, now 'post-80s' is a hot word. The reason is very complicated to explain, but one thing is certain: because the Internet is in the hands of the post-80s generation, most of them are willing to speak out for their peers...

…

It took almost half a month to sign and sell the book...

After all, I have to go to school – I can only go on the weekends.

It delayed Shen Xudong a lot of time - in the past half month, he didn't even have time to write scripts, and could only find time to write three issues of copywriting...

Changing cities in one day makes me feel like all my time is spent on the road!

Fortunately, the effect is good. With this round of concentrated exposure, the sales of "No. 1 in the World" have increased significantly. The sales volume in a single week exceeded 80,000, and after half a month, the sales volume was close to 140,000 copies!

Only the sales of genuine copies, the sales of pirated copies are estimated to have exceeded one million...

Didn't win the sales championship next week - Guo Jingming's "Reflection on the Left Hand, Time on the Right" is published!

Guo Jingming is really fast. "Fantasy City" was published in January and "Reflection on the Left Hand, Time on the Right" was published in June...

At the end of the year, he will also publish "How Many Flowers Fall in Dreams"!

"Reflection on the Left Hand, Time on the Right" sold nearly 90,000 copies in its first week, taking away the sales of "The Best in the World". However, Shen Haobo told the media that "The Best in the World" has dominated the martial arts sales for 13 consecutive weeks. champion'…

There is a difference between the sales champion and the sales runner-up...

It sounds nice to say it out loud!

We are not the same type, there is no shame in losing!

Oh, the sales here refer to the total sales of "No. 1 in the World", not the sales of single copies...

According to Shen Haobo's estimate, with such a promotion, 800,000 sets should be sold before the end of the year - a set of three volumes...

Then, when the TV series is aired, it should be able to sell at least 500,000 units.

Sales exceeded one million easily...

Shen Haobo has been encouraging Shen Xudong to write another martial arts book while the iron is hot...

Of course, Shen Xudong just needs to listen to what he says.

Whether he does it or not is his business!

To be honest, Shen Xudong doesn't know that with his current popularity, he can easily earn millions by writing another martial arts book. The problem is... he really can't think of what to write.

Are we going to collect "Embroidered Spring Knife" again?
