It really fits the saying, if you are willing to plant flowers but don’t bloom, if you are unintentionally plant willows and willows, you will become shade.

I used to want to write a popular online article, but none of them became popular. Now I write a physical book, but I never thought it would become popular, but unexpectedly it would be popular.

Chen Yao said to his phone: "Lao Luo, how much do you think should be printed?"

Luo Kun said: "It's so popular that it's at least 200,000 copies are printed!"

"Well, just 200,000 copies."

"The publisher intends to translate your novel into English and sell it to Amazon. I will bring the team here to talk to you about this."

"Now?"

"yes."

"I'm back to my hometown."

"It's okay, I'll go to your hometown to find you."

Immediately, Chen Yao told him the address of his hometown and hung up the phone.

As soon as I put down my phone, I suddenly found a pair of eyes staring at me beside me.

It was the female book fan, she stared at Chen Yao intently, one second, two seconds, three seconds...

Then, she screamed in more than 90 decibels!

"ah--"

"You are the author of "My Wandering Earth"?"

The people in the entire carriage were alarmed, and their eyes were projected on Chen Yao.

Chen Yao's body froze instantly. Why did she see it?

After thinking about it, she must have heard what she said to Lao Luo just now.

Since I have been seen through, there is nothing I dare not admit.

Chen Yao said frankly: "I'm very happy. Everyone likes the books I wrote."

It feels so good to see the author of the book when I was in the same train carriage.

"Give me a signature." The female book fan immediately placed the book on Chen Yao's lap and pulled out a signature pen from her bag.

Chen Yao signed his name on it. The author of the book is called Prince of Dark Horse, and the signature must be the same as these four words.

The female book fan blinked with curious eyes: "Why are you called Prince Dark Horse?"

I have explained it to people many times before, but Chen Yao still said tirelessly: "I don't like Prince Charming, so I'm called a dark horse."

After signing one, the others came over to sign the autograph. They were all fans of the book, and each of them held a science fiction novel written by Chen Yao in their hands.

The train carriages in this section became lively. Those who didn’t know thought this was the bookmarking and sales site.

"I'm so happy to meet the best-selling writer on the train!" a cute little reader said excitedly.

Chen Yao just laughed it off and never thought he was a writer.

Writing novels is at most a hobby, and it is a pure surprise that books become popular.

Many people have dreams of writers, but because of work, they may not have time to start writing, and even if they write, it is difficult to achieve success.

If you accidentally achieve results and have fans support your book, Chen Yao will be even happier than earning tens of millions.

The female book fan asked: "The book Wandering Earth is just about the era of escape. The book tells the story of the Wandering Age and the New Sun Age."

"Will you write "The Wandering Earth 2"?"

I remembered Liu's book "The Wandering Earth", which also wrote that it was gone when it was the era of escape.

But the setting in "My Wandering Earth" is even more grand. After the Earth leaves the solar system, there is still a lot of exciting content. The ending of the book has reserved an interface for the subsequent sequel.

Chen Yao responded with certainty: "There must be."

"That's great!" The book fans in the car were very excited.

Talk to book fans about the content in the book, such as how much power is required to push the earth out of the solar system with ten thousand engines?

The whole train journey was very pleasant and we finally arrived at the terminal.

The speed of high-speed rail is fast, and this is the power of technology.

After getting off the car, Chen Yao looked at his watch and it was already 8 o'clock in the evening.

It is still a long distance from my hometown. I stayed near the train station tonight and took a taxi back tomorrow.

I walked into the fast food restaurant and had a meal, and then stayed in a nearby hotel for one night.

The next morning, Chen Yaogang checked out, and the phone ringtone rang, and Lao Luo came.

The two sides agreed on the meeting place and walked into a nearby Hong Kong-style restaurant.

"It's so good for a great writer to see you. I'm so anxious that I've been missing for several months." Luo Kun walked over with a smile.

It is not surprising that I can't contact him for several months in scientific research, and some scientists cannot even contact him for decades.

Of course, there is no need to tell him about his other identity, so Chen Yao sat down opposite him.

Next to Luo Kun is a blonde and blue-eyed foreign man.

"His name is Slyman, and he is the Amazon Book category manager." Luo Kun introduced with a smile.

He pushed his glasses and looked over with a smile: "Chan, I'm glad to see you. The "My Wandering Earth" you wrote is so popular. Amazon intends to bring your books to the platform for sale."

Amazon entered the country very early, but when doing e-commerce, it was defeated by the domestic market, Jingdong was defeated steadily, and the only thing that could survive was the book category.

Chen Yao took a sip of Hong Kong-style milk tea: "Is it just a domestic market?"

"No." Slyman shook his head: "We have read your book very seriously and conducted research in overseas markets. Your book is also very marketable overseas."

Luo Kun said: "The publisher intends to translate your novel into English. If it sells well in the English world, it will also translate it into a multilingual version."

Four words immediately appeared in Chen Yao's mind, cultural output.

If military is the hard power of a country, then culture is the soft power of a country!

Soft power is conquest from the soul level!

In peaceful times, soft power is even more important than hard power.

There are many excellent works written by Chinese people, but few works that can be truly exported overseas.

Novels with oriental backgrounds are difficult for many Western book fans to bring in, but science fiction novels are not, and science fiction themes are more likely to be accepted by overseas book fans.

Next, Chen Yao signed a contract with Amazon and placed the books on their platform to sell them, with a profit of 7/3 points.

The other party provided a platform and promised to place books in a key position to promote them, which was reasonable to get 30%.

For Chen Yao, the key is not the amount of revenue that book sales can bring, the key is its IP value.

If this book became popular overseas, the value of movies, games and animation would soar greatly.

Think about the release of "The Wandering Earth" before Time Travel, its box office in China was as high as 4.6 billion.

In terms of content, "My Wandering Earth" written by Chen Yao is not only suitable for domestic readers, but also caters to the tastes of overseas readers.

Its IP value will be greater, much bigger!

It is no exaggeration to say that this book is a super gold mine!

In addition to making money, he also made fame.

Science fiction novels written by Chinese people can also be accepted by overseas readers and can also participate in the Hugo Awards campaign.
