Two months ago, when Wang Qian stopped updating Romance of the Three Kingdoms, he also posted screenshots of the data in order to advertise Qianqian Collection.
At that time, the average subscription for all chapters of The Three Kingdoms had reached more than 30 million, the highest subscription reached more than 50 million, and the total subscription was in the billions, shocking the entire network!
At this time…
After two months of accumulation, the data is even more exaggerated.
After all, he hasn't uploaded a new chapter for two months, and the data from many old chapters has been accumulating, which is even more exaggerated.
Wang Qian only took a glance and was slightly shocked.
The highest subscription for a single chapter has exceeded 100 million, reaching more than 110 million, which means that more than 110 million people across the country have subscribed to at least one chapter.
The average subscription reached more than 50 million...
Pure subscriptions alone have brought Wang Qian more than 10 billion in revenue.
This does not include various more valuable copyrights.
Wang Qian had heard Qin Xuerong casually mention before that major domestic entertainment companies and game companies have already offered sky-high prices to buy the film and television adaptation rights, as well as the game and animation adaptation rights of Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
The film and television adaptation rights have been priced at a sky-high price of 300 million yuan by the film and television company under Tencent, which far exceeds the film and television copyright of any previous hit work.
Tencent also offered the highest price for the game and animation adaptation rights, offering a package price of 200 million yuan, which is slightly lower than the film and television adaptation rights.
Tencent’s full copyright buyout price is as high as 10 billion!
These figures have set records for the sales prices of copyrights in the domestic cultural industry.
only…
Whether it was Qin Xuerong or Wang Qian himself, they all knew that the copyright of Romance of the Three Kingdoms could not be sold. It was a hen that laid golden eggs continuously, and the long-term benefits could not be measured by billions.
So, Qin Xuerong just mentioned these numbers jokingly and didn't take them seriously.
Wang Qian remembered it at this moment, smiled and shook his head, looking at the latest three chapters that had just been uploaded a few minutes ago, and murmured in a low voice: "Everyone hasn't forgotten this book yet!"
As a veteran in the entertainment industry in his previous life, Wang Qian also participated in the adaptation of popular web dramas. Because of his focus, he would know in advance the various detailed data and fan groups of the online novels adapted from the web dramas, so as to carry out targeted marketing...
Therefore, he knew that if an online novel stopped updating for two months, no matter how popular it was before, the subscription data would drop significantly after it was resumed two months later. Only the top writers could keep one-fifth of the subscription data, and it would be good if it could keep one-tenth of the subscription data...
At this time, Wang Qian looked at the data of the three chapters that had just been updated five minutes ago.
Chapter 1 subscriptions have exceeded 11 million!
The subscription for the second chapter has also reached 10 million, and the subscription for the third chapter has just reached 9 million, but the growth rate is very fast and it may soon exceed 10 million.
And this is just five minutes of data.
These subscription data are even more terrifying than two months ago.
When updating two months ago, Wang Qian remembered that it took about an hour to reach a data of about 10 million, and that was the data at its peak. In 24 hours a day, it was only about 20 million...
However, now after two months of hiatus, the data has increased significantly
Tens of millions of subscriptions can be reached in five minutes. How many in a day? Fifty million? Over 100 million
Wang Qian didn’t dare to imagine it.
He knew that readers who had read the book loved it so much that they were looking forward to his updates.
Once he updated it, everyone's enthusiasm exploded at that moment.
Therefore, many people subscribed to it immediately...
Only then can such a terrifying subscription sales volume be achieved in a short period of time.
This time, Wang Qian did not take a screenshot and post it.
Because now Qianqian's collection of essays no longer needs him alone to support and promote it.
Qianqianwenji has gathered hundreds of talented online authors, including many great and top great authors, as well as tens of thousands of other ordinary part-time authors!
The number of authors of many entities has reached hundreds...
And most importantly, among the hundreds of millions of users who registered and recharged on Qianqian Wenji because of his Romance of the Three Kingdoms, a considerable number of them stayed and became paying readers of Qianqian Wenji.
It has now become the second largest online literature platform after Tencent's online literature group.
Wang Qian himself does not need to release data to promote himself, and the book Romance of the Three Kingdoms does not need this kind of publicity and diversion...
so!
Wang Qian didn't say anything to anyone. After looking at the data, he quickly hit the keyboard again and started writing the next chapter.
Now, he just wants to finish writing and publish this book as soon as possible.
He settled his worries...
If a task is not finished, he will always keep it in mind and never forget it, and he must find a time to complete it!
Qin Xuerong also muted her phone, went downstairs quietly to buy some food, and then without disturbing Wang Qian, she went into the kitchen with a smile and started to make lunch for the two of them...
This was exactly the life she dreamed of.
…
Chengdu.
As soon as Liu Shengnan stepped out of the plane, she quickly took out her cell phone and looked at it.
Next to them, Ru Ke, Chen Xiaowen, and Xiao Dongmei also quickly took out their cell phones to check the messages.
They took a plane from Shanghai to Chengdu, wanting to go to Liu Shengnan's house to see the original copy of Wang Qian's "Xia Ke Xing".
However, they are always paying attention to Wang Qian's news.
"Professor Wang's Romance of the Three Kingdoms has been updated?"
Xiao Dongmei, who was usually quiet, exclaimed.
This is her favorite novel, no doubt about it, not only because it was written by Wang Qian, but also because the book is so much to the taste of a Chinese cultural genius like her. Whenever she has free time, she will take out her mobile phone to read it, and she has always regretted that Wang Qian couldn't finish it.
Now, she just returned to China and saw Wang Qian updating the Three Kingdoms. How could she not be surprised
Several other people, Liu Shengnan, Ru Ke, and Chen Xiaowen, were also pleasantly surprised to open Qian Qian's collection of essays, and directly subscribed to all the new chapters and started reading!
Buzz buzz buzz…
Suddenly, Liu Shengnan's cell phone rang.
It's an unfamiliar number.
Liu Shengnan didn't want to answer the call, but she had just returned to China and was afraid of missing something important, so she answered it anyway.
A Chinese accent came from the other side: "Ms. Liu Shengnan, I'm in Chengdu. Can I visit you?"
Liu Shengnan felt that the name sounded familiar, but she couldn't remember it for a moment, so she asked in confusion: "I just arrived in Chengdu too, who are you?"
The man on the other end immediately smiled and said, "I forgot you didn't save my number. I'm Red, and we just met in New York. Didn't I say that next time I come to China, I'll visit you and see Professor Wang Qian's original work of The Knight-errant? I really like this work, and I hope Miss Liu can agree to this small request of mine... I'm just going to take a look, and I'm definitely not going to say anything about buying it."
"By the way, I also brought a junior with me, the one you met last time. Her name is Aisha."
Liu Shengnan understood it all at once and felt somewhat reluctant, but the other party liked and praised the work Wang Qian gave her so much that she felt very proud and happy, and the other party also said that he would not talk about any acquisition again.
She thought for a second and then said, "Okay, sure! I'll send you the address and you can come directly. I'm going back from the airport now."
Red said happily: "That's great, see you later, Miss Liu."
Liu Shengnan hung up the phone directly, and her attitude towards Reid remained rather cold.
Reid, who was standing in the lobby of a luxury hotel in Chengdu, said happily, "She agreed. We'll take a car there later."
Elsa said curiously, "Uncle Red, are you really going to spend your whole life waiting for the opportunity to buy it? I'm really curious about what kind of work can fascinate you so much."
Reid said with longing on his face: "When you see it, you will understand. Of course, you don't know much about Chinese culture, so you may not be able to see how wonderful Wang Qian's work is. But you just need to know that it is currently the most valuable of all the works created by Wang Qian, and that's enough."
Aisha asked doubtfully, "But I just saw on the news that Wang Qian is currently writing a Chinese historical novel. It is of great value and has brought him over 200 million US dollars in revenue, which means he earns tens of millions of dollars every day! It is no less than what any of his hit singles bring him."
"And this is when he hasn't finished writing. The income he will bring in the long run will be even more terrifying. The media in North America have said that this novel he created, called Three Kingdoms, may become the most worthy novel for adaptation in China in the future. The potential value is extremely terrifying."
After listening to what Elsa said, Red understood this very well.
After all, he has decided that the focus of his second half of life will be on Wang Qian, so he will naturally investigate all the information about Wang Qian clearly and keep an eye on Wang Qian's dynamic news so that he can have room for maneuver.
Reid walked out quickly, preparing to take a taxi to the address Liu Shengnan sent him, and said, "Aisha, the value brought by those intellectual property rights is meaningless and useless to us. And Professor Wang Qian has also lost the greatest value of his creation of this work."
Reid's tone and expression were extremely regretful.
Elsa frowned and asked curiously: "Uncle, what do you mean?"
Red smiled and said, "Elsa, it seems that you are not a qualified collector's item dealer yet. Do you know how much the manuscript of Iberia's play The King is worth?"
Iberia was the greatest novelist during the European Renaissance. He created many novels and stage play scripts that were popular all over the world at that time. His works have been popular for hundreds of years. Many of his classic works are still frequently performed on the Broadway stage. In addition, more than ten of his works have been adapted into movies in Europe and the United States over the past century. He is the literary and artistic figure who has had the greatest influence on later generations.
Therefore, an authentic manuscript of Iberia's work is of great value. In the collection market, the price of one word is about US$10,000. The value of a manuscript of more than several thousand words is tens of millions of dollars.
Of course, this is also because there are relatively few manuscripts of Iberia that have been preserved, so the value is so high. Only three of them are known to the outside world, and each of them is worth more than tens of millions of US dollars. Among them is a complete manuscript of the most classic stage play The King, which is worth $100 million and can be called a national treasure.
When Elsa heard Red mention Iberia, she immediately understood what Red meant and said, "Oh my God, Uncle Red, are you saying that if Wang Qian wrote this Three Kingdoms novel with a pen, the value of the manuscript can be compared with the original manuscript of Iberia?"
Red waved his hand to hail a luxury taxi from the hotel and said calmly, "Why not? As far as I know, one of the four great masterpieces in China was written three hundred years ago. Three years ago, an original manuscript of ten pages was circulated and sold for thirty million. The current price is at least fifty million."
Elsa also knew this news and frowned, "But can Wang Qian's works be compared with the four great classics?"
Red asked back, "Why not? Aisha, if you want to make progress in the future, you must learn more about the cultural systems and heritage of various countries and nations. And Chinese culture is what you need to know most, because Chinese culture is very fascinating. Professor Wang Qian is the greatest artist and writer, calligrapher, and musician in China today. His status and achievements are the best in the history of Chinese literature, and his novels will surely be on par with the four great masterpieces in the future."
"Can you imagine how much a complete set of the Four Great Classics would be worth?"
Elsa gasped.
The complete and authentic versions of the four great classics
She couldn't imagine how horrible the value would be.
Just ten pages of original manuscript can be sold for thirty million!
An entire authentic copy is worth at least hundreds of millions of dollars, right
What's more, Wang Qian himself is a master of calligraphy, and his original works have calligraphy art value, which can increase a lot of value and artistic collection value.
What a pity... What a pity... Such a pity...
Elsa immediately understood why Red said that Wang Qian had lost the most valuable thing in the book.
indeed!
The greatest value of this book is not the terrifying income from its subscriptions, nor the derivative copyright income it brings!
But the work itself!
This work itself refers to the original authentic work written by Wang Qian, just like his predecessors.
If there really is an authentic copy of Wang Qian's novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms, its long-term value is simply immeasurable. It is absolutely a national treasure in the field of Chinese culture and its collection value is immeasurable.
pity…
What a pity…
There is no physical original handwritten copy of Wang Qian's novel. There is only the keyboard he used to type and the manuscript stored in the computer hard drive.
Elsa got in the car and said regretfully: "Uncle, you are right. This novel has indeed lost its most valuable thing."
Lei De closed his eyes slightly and said calmly, "Don't think about the loss. Think about how to talk to Liu Shengnan when you see her later, and think about what we can get when Wang Qian goes north to Beijing to give art lectures next week."
"The capital is the cultural center of China. I have heard that Wang Qian will give lectures at several famous universities in the capital. When the time comes, there will surely be some wonderful literary and artistic works."
"If we can get one of the originals, then this trip to China will be a huge gain."
Reid's eyes were full of longing.
