Lin Han doesn’t know if the figures released by Forbes magazine include his income in the domestic market, because in this market, the writers mentioned above are not his opponents!

If he didn't count it, he would be one step closer to the championship position, and the gap would not be as terrible as the one behind him.

"72 million US dollars is already very good, although this is only before tax." Chen Jiaxuan said, "I guess there will be a wave of envy, jealousy and hatred."

However, Lin Han is now considering the rest of the matter. He put his hands on the steering wheel and thoughtfully, "Since it is $72 million before tax, it must be that high after tax. And I have a total of $100 million in deposits, which proves that I had at least $30 to 40 million in income last year. Why didn't I make it on the list last year?"

If he really needs to follow Lin Han’s calculations, he should have entered the top three last year, rather than waiting until this year!

Last year, he performed well in the global book market. "I, Robot", "Martian Rescue", "Jurassic Park", and "Three-Body Problem" all stayed at the top of the sales list, and it should not be said that it could not be on the list.

Either I was ignored by Forbes magazine last year, or my income this year was seriously underestimated. Anyway, Lin Han felt that there were some problems!

But just make money in your pocket, and these media may not be correct. Go back and calculate the number of each transfer in your head and you should be able to draw a conclusion, that is the most authoritative number.

China Radio International News on the global writer income rankings were broadcasted, and then it moved to the price increase of high-speed rail. Lin Han was not interested in listening to it anymore and turned off the radio directly.

Chen Jiaxuan took out her mobile phone and started searching for relevant information on the Internet. After all, this is a big deal. She wants to see the direction of public opinion on the Internet. After all, this society has some hatred for the rich, and she doesn't want Lin Han's good readers to be destroyed!

As expected, the news has just been released, and there are a lot of news related to it. Several major portals have changed the news as the front page, and the reprinting speed of other websites and media is beyond imagination.

China Writers Network: Forbes announced the ranking of the world's highest-paid writers in 2017. Chinese writer Lin Han was shortlisted and is expected to top next year!

Net.Yi Finance: Lin Han ranked second with the 16 highest-paid writers in the world in 2017 with US$72 million!

Xinlang Reading: Forbes releases its annual writer income list, let’s see which masters are there!

Tencent News: James Patterson earns nearly 100 million yuan a year, and Lin Han is second with 70 million yuan!

CCTV News: Chinese writers are shortlisted for the global annual writer income list for the first time!

Headlines: God rewards hard work, Lin Han's annual income of 400 million yuan shocked everyone!

This news almost appeared on the Internet in the form of dominating the screen. Chen Jiaxuan even felt that it would be followed by various TV stations and tomorrow's newspapers. Who would have thought that a writer could earn $72 million a year?

The first place in the list of rich Chinese writers announced at the Chinese Writers Annual Conference last year was only RMB 59 million. Lin Han’s income last year was only RMB 21 million, which is more than just an increase in one digit!

Of course, due to statistics last year, Lin Han's revenue in overseas markets was not included, so RMB 21 million can only be ranked third.

This year's US$72 million covers copyrights such as book sales, e-book adapted movies and TV series around the world. Originally, Lin Han's popularity this year was much stronger than last year, but he didn't expect his income to increase so many times!

The media are almost crazy. In the past, they just envied other writers. Now they find that their compatriots can make so much money, and most of them are earned from foreigners. This honor makes them empathize with it.

Not to mention writers, even the big domestic celebrities can only sigh when facing this income. Even if their annual income exceeds 100 million, it will be very valuable. For example, Fan Bingbing, who ranked first in the actors last year, and Jay Chou, who ranked first in the singers, have a real bad ability to attract money compared to Lin Han!

What's more, Lin Han will win so many of his adapted movies next year, and this part of the revenue will probably be very amazing. If nothing unexpected happens, those movies will have a big box office hit!

In fact, Lin Han should have topped the list of Chinese writers’ rich list last year because there were loopholes in the calculation of the rich list. Before Lin Han, most writers had no overseas sales, so they directly ignored overseas sales during statistics.

But Chacha Linhan's overseas sales far exceed that of domestic ones. After all, how can a market be compared with the sum of hundreds of large and small markets?

However, even if we only calculate domestic sales this year, Lin Han should be the first. Several novels sold well in China. One person in the top ten of the annual sales list occupied five seats, and he snatched the quota from so many writers!

If this cannot be ranked first, then the rest of the people will not know how strong it will be. The headache is now passed on to the organizers of the Chinese Writers Rich List. Will it be added to overseas income?

If this part of the income is increased, Lin Han will make 400 million or 50 million per person, while the second place will only make 30 to 40 million. The gap in this level is too big, and it is simply not of the same level.

Headache, really headache!

...

Almost all the writers' circles are in full bloom. People usually say that there is a golden house in books and a thousand millets in books. Now Lin Han has finally achieved this goal, and it can even be said to be a thousand gold medals per word.

A net profit of tens of millions of dollars a year is a number that many people dare not imagine. Writers also have a pyramid-shaped survival situation. Now Lin Han is the person standing at the top of the pyramid of Chinese writers, and everyone stepping on the literary world under his feet!

While some people are still worried about the monthly royalties, while some people are still crying for being rejected by publishers, and while some writers are still feeling sad about the low sales, Lin Han has quietly stepped on a new level and began to compete with those famous figures internationally!

"I can't make so much money in my ten lives for more than 70 million US dollars! Even if Lin Han retires now, he will never have to worry about anything in his life."

"Is the overseas market really that popular? I think I can also find a translator to help translate the previous novels, if they become popular abroad!"

"I'm so envious, but I have to work hard, not to mention that he earns one tenth of what he earns, I only hope to get one percent and one thousandth of it."

"Does any master recommend overseas publishing companies? I want to find a more reliable one."

"I really want Lin Han to teach us. What kind of novels are foreigners now? I just hope that I can see the novels being translated into English in my lifetime!"

These writers have always known that Lin Han's novels are very popular overseas, but this very popular concept is not very strong. After all, there is no intuitive number comparison.

Although Lin Han has sales figures and achievements in each country, he is not the kind of person who likes to show off, so he basically doesn’t reveal much to the public!

Only those fans who really like his novels will look for this data all over the world, and many news reports are even stolen from data posts hard-working by fans of Hanlin Academy.

The low-key fortune is now suddenly exposed, and people only realize that Lin Han’s popularity overseas is really not just a saying!

Today's domestic book market is basically saturated, and it is very difficult to increase book sales. After all, not everyone is called Lin Han, and not everyone can publish new books continuously.

Now that Lin Han is on the global writer income ranking list, he has opened up a golden road for them. The domestic market is saturated, but the foreign market is still very broad!

If we can conquer the foreign market, the sales volume and royalties will obviously increase significantly, which is simply a gold mine waiting for Chinese writers to mine overseas!

There are many people who are jealous. Since you, Lin Han, can sell hundreds of millions of copies, then I will sell less and only sell a million copies. There are many writers with this idea, as if overseas readers are waiting in line to buy novels by Chinese writers.

The impact of the figure of 72 million US dollars obviously makes some writers lose their calmness. If there is such a relaxed and pleasant abroad, Chinese writers have already successfully gone out, so they still have to wait until now?

No matter what others say, this trend has successfully blown up in the writer circle. Within one day, many writers began to contact overseas publishers' Chinese branches, Random Bookstore, Penguin Publishing Group, McGraw Hill Education Group, Shengzhi Learning Group, Vick Group, Holtzbrink Publishing Group, Thomson Reuters Publishing Company, etc. have become extremely popular.

People's hearts become impetuous a little, and many details cannot be noticed. Therefore, people only care about Lin Han's success, but ignore whether their own conditions can afford these successes.

In fact, many writers have a mentality of not being able to appreciate their talents. They think that their works are very excellent, but others don’t know how to appreciate them. Just find an opportunity to make them shine!

There are many people with similar ideas, and no one will think that their works are bad. Under the sweeping trend of testing the overseas market, many veteran authors can't sit still.

What is Jonghyun?

In terms of sales, he can compare with JK Rowling, or can compare income with James Patterson. Now, when people look back at Jong Hyun’s previous provocation, they all think it’s too funny. Is this the frog in the well self-entertainment, or is it the hare dissatisfied with the lion?

People are already competing internationally, so they have no energy to play house games with him in China. Lin Han’s readers have changed from their initial anger to their current indifference, as if Jong Hyun was just some unknown man!
