This news almost appeared on the Internet in the form of dominating the screen. Chen Jiaxuan even thought that it would be followed by various TV stations and tomorrow's newspapers. Who would have thought that a writer could actually earn 72 million US dollars a year
These writers have always known that Lin Han's novels are very popular overseas, but the concept of this popularity is not very strong. After all, there are no intuitive numbers for comparison.
According to Lin Han's calculations, he should have been in the top three last year, instead of waiting until this year!
Almost all writers circles are excited. Usually people always say that books have their own golden houses, and books have their own thousand pieces of millet. Now Lin Han has finally achieved this goal, and it can even be said that every word is worth a thousand pieces of gold.
Sina Reading: "Forbes" releases the annual income list of writers, let's see who are the great ones!
Lin Han doesn't know if the figures published by Forbes magazine include his income in the domestic market, because in this market, none of the writers mentioned above are his opponents!
However, Lin Han was thinking about other things now. He put his hands on the steering wheel and was thinking, "Since it is 72 million U.S. dollars before tax, it must not be so high after tax. And I have a total of 100 million U.S. dollars in savings." , prove that I also had an income of at least 30 to 40 million US dollars last year, why didn’t I make the list last year?”
If it can't be ranked first, then no one knows how strong the others will be. Now the headache question has been handed over to the organizers of the Chinese Writers Rich List. Should overseas income be included
His low-key fortune was suddenly exposed, and people discovered that Lin Han's popularity overseas was really not just talk!
CCTV News: For the first time, a Chinese writer has been shortlisted for the annual global writer’s income list!
Last year, he performed equally well in the global book market. "I, Robot", "The Martian", "Jurassic Park", and the first part of "The Three-Body Problem" all stayed at the top of the sales list. It should not be said that he is not on the list. .
"I really want Lin Han to teach us what types of novels foreigners like to read now. I just hope that I can see the novels translated into English in my lifetime!"
If we can conquer foreign markets, the increase in sales and royalties will obviously be very impressive. It will be a gold mine waiting for Chinese writers to mine overseas!
…
NetEase Finance: Among the 16 highest-paid writers in the world in 2017, Lin Han ranked second with US$72 million!
If not counted, he would be one step closer to the championship, and the gap would not be as huge as those behind him.
"Is it really that popular in overseas markets? I think I can also find a translator to help translate my previous novels, in case it becomes popular abroad too!"
There are many jealous people. Since you, Lin Han, can sell hundreds or tens of millions of copies, then I will sell less and only sell a million copies. Writers with this idea abound, as if overseas readers It's like waiting in line to buy novels by Chinese authors.
This year’s US$72 million includes book sales around the world, e-book adaptations of movies and TV series, and other copyrights. Originally, Lin Han’s momentum this year was much stronger than last year, but he didn’t expect that his income would increase so many times!
"More than 70 million US dollars, I will never earn so much money in ten lifetimes! Even if Lin Han retires now, he won't have to worry about anything for the rest of his life."
The media are almost going crazy. In the past, they only envied other writers, but now they find that their compatriots can actually earn so much money, and most of it is earned from foreigners. This honor simply makes them feel the same.
"I'm so envious, but I have to work hard. Let alone one-tenth of what he earns, I only hope to get one percent or one-thousandth."
"Does anyone recommend an overseas publishing company? I want to find one that is more reliable."
But as long as you keep the money in your pocket, these media are not necessarily correct. If you go back and calculate the numbers of each transfer in your head, you should be able to draw a conclusion. That is the most authoritative number.
Headache, really headache!
Who is Jonghyun
In fact, Lin Han should have topped the rich list of Chinese writers last year, because there was a loophole in the calculation of the rich list. Before Lin Han, most writers had no overseas sales to speak of, so they directly ignored overseas when making statistics. sales volume.
A net profit of tens of millions of dollars a year is a figure that many people dare not even think about. Writers also live in a pyramid shape. Now Lin Han is the person standing at the top of the Chinese writer pyramid, with the literary world at his feet. Everyone!
When some people are still worrying about monthly manuscript fees, when some people are still crying because their manuscripts are rejected by publishing houses, when some writers are still melancholy because of low sales, Lin Han has quietly reached a new level. , began to compete with those famous figures in the world!
Although Lin Han has the sales figures and results of each country in his hands, he is not the kind of person who likes to show off, so he basically does not disclose much to the outside world!
Now that Lin Han has appeared on this global writer's income ranking, it has opened up a golden road for them. The domestic market is saturated, but the foreign market is still very broad!
The news about the world's writers' income rankings had just been broadcast by China Central Broadcasting Voice, and then it moved to the price increase of high-speed rail. Lin Han was not interested in listening anymore and turned off the broadcast directly.
Chinese Writers Network: Forbes announced the ranking of the world's highest-paid writers in 2017. Chinese writer Lin Han is a strong finalist and is expected to reach the top next year!
But Lin Han's overseas sales far exceed those in China. After all, how can one market compare with the sum of hundreds of large and small markets
In fact, many writers have a mentality of underappreciating their talents. They feel that their works are very good, but others don't know how to appreciate them. As long as they find an opportunity, they can make them shine!
The impact of the figure of US$72 million has obviously made some writers lose their cool. If foreign countries were so relaxed and happy, Chinese writers would have successfully gone out in the past, so why wait until now
In terms of sales, is he comparable to JK Rowling, or can he compare to James Patterson in terms of income? Now when people look back at Jonghyun's previous provocation, they all find it too funny. Is this the self-pleasure of a frog in a well, or is it a hare? Dissatisfied with the lion
Chen Jiaxuan took out her mobile phone and started searching for relevant news on the Internet. After all, this was considered a big event. She wanted to see the trend of public opinion on the Internet. After all, there was some hatred of the rich in this society, and she didn't want to let Lin Han's good reputation among readers destroyed!
There are many people with similar ideas, and no one will think that their works are bad. With this trend of testing overseas markets sweeping across, many established authors cannot sit still.
Tencent News: James Patterson’s annual income is nearly 100 million, followed by Lin Han’s 70 million!
Of course, due to statistical reasons last year, Lin Han's income from overseas markets was not included in the statistics, so 21 million yuan could only be ranked third.
Only those fans who really like his novels will search for these data all over the world, and many news reports are even stolen from the data posts written by Hanlin Academy fans.
Headline News: God rewards hard work, Lin Han’s annual income of 400 million yuan shocked everyone!
However, even if we only count domestic sales this year, Lin Han should be ranked first. Several novels have all sold well in China. One person in the top ten of the annual sales list occupies five seats. He has suddenly chosen from so many writers. I have snatched the quota in my hand!
Today's domestic book market is basically saturated, and it is very difficult to increase book sales. After all, not everyone is named Lin Han, and not everyone can publish new books continuously.
Not to mention writers, even domestic celebrities can only sigh in despair when faced with this income. Their annual income of more than 100 million is considered very profitable. For example, last year's No. 1 actor Fan Bingbing and Jay Chou, the number one singer, compared to Lin Han, their ability to attract money is really inferior!
People's hearts become impetuous and they fail to notice many details. Therefore, people only focus on Lin Han's success, but ignore whether their own conditions can afford these successes.
Sure enough, even though this news had just been announced, there was already a lot of news related to it. Several major portal websites unanimously put this news on their front pages, and other websites and media reposted it at an unimaginable speed.
Everyone is already competing internationally, so how can they have the energy to play house games with him at home? Lin Han's readers have changed from anger at the beginning to indifference now, as if Jonghyun is just a nobody!
Either he was ignored by Forbes magazine last year, or his income this year was seriously underestimated. Anyway, Lin Han felt that there was something wrong!
No matter what others say, this trend has successfully spread among writers. Within a day, many writers began to contact the Chinese branches of overseas publishers, including Random House, Penguin Publishing Group, and McGraw-Hill Education. Group, Cengage Learning Group, Vic Group, Holzbrink Publishing Group, Thomson Reuters Publishing Company, etc. have become extremely popular.
If this part of the income is increased, Lin Han alone earns 4.5 billion, while the second place only earns 30 to 40 million. This level gap is too big, and they are simply not at the same level.
"US$72 million is already pretty good, although this is only before tax." Chen Jiaxuan said, "I guess there will be a wave of envy and jealousy."
In the rich list of Chinese writers announced at the Chinese Writers Annual Conference last year, the first place was only 59 million yuan. Even Lin Han's income last year was only 21 million yuan, which is more than a single-digit increase!
What's more, Lin Han will also win box office dividends from so many of his adapted movies next year. This part of the income will probably be very amazing. If nothing happens, those movies will be box office hits!
