??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡
I used to want to write a big-selling online book, but none of it was a big hit. Now I¡¯m writing a physical book. I didn¡¯t expect it to be a big hit, but it unexpectedly became a big hit.
Chen Yao said to the mobile phone: "Lao Luo, how much do you think should be printed?"
Luo Kun said: "If it's so popular, at least 200,000 more copies will be printed!"
"Well, just 200,000 copies."
"The publisher plans to translate your novel into English and sell it on Amazon. I will bring my team over to talk to you about it."
"Now?"
"yes."
"I'm going back to my hometown."
"It doesn't matter, 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.
It was the female book lover. She stared at Chen Yao intently for one second, two seconds, three seconds
Then, she screamed at over 90 decibels!
"ah¡ª¡ª"
"You are the author of "My Wandering Earth"?"
People in the entire carriage were startled, and their eyes were cast on Chen Yao.
Chen Yao's body froze instantly. How could she see it?
After thinking about it, she must have heard everything she said to Lao Luo on the phone just now.
Since you have been seen through, there is nothing you dare not admit.
Chen Yao said frankly: "I am very happy that everyone likes the book I wrote."
It feels so good to meet the author of my favorite novel on the same train carriage.
"Give me an autograph." The female book lover immediately placed the book on Chen Yao's lap and took out a signature pen from her bag.
Chen Yao signed his name on it. The author of the book is called Dark Horse Prince, and the signature must be these four words.
The female book lover blinked with curious big eyes: "Why are you called Prince Dark Horse?"
Having explained this to people many times before, Chen Yao still said tirelessly: "I don't like Prince Charming, so I call him Dark Horse."
After signing a copy, other people in the carriage came over to ask for autographs. They were all fans of the book, and everyone held a science fiction novel written by Chen Yao in their hands.
The train carriage in this section was lively, and those who didn¡¯t know it thought it was a book signing event.
¡°I was so happy to meet a best-selling author on the train!¡± a cute little reader said excitedly.
Chen Yao just laughed it off and never considered himself a writer.
"Writing novels is just a hobby at best, and it is a pure accident that the book became popular.
Many people have the dream of being a writer, but due to work commitments, they may not have time to write. Even if they do write, it is difficult to achieve results.
If he accidentally achieves success and has fans supporting his book, Chen Yao will be even more happy than making tens of millions.
The female book fan asked: "The book Wandering Earth only writes about the era of escape. The book tells that there is also the era of wandering and the era of the new sun."
"Will you write "The Wandering Earth 2"?"
Reminds me of Liu¡¯s book ¡°The Wandering Earth¡±, which was written in the era of escape and disappeared.
But the setting in "My Wandering Earth" is even more grand. After the earth leaves the solar system, there are still many exciting contents. The ending of the book has already reserved an interface for the sequel.
Chen Yao responded firmly: "Definitely."
"That's great!" The book fans in the carriage were very excited.
Talk to book fans about the content in the book. For example, how much power would it take for 10,000 engines to push the earth out of the solar system?
The whole train journey was very pleasant, and we finally arrived at the terminal.
High-speed rail is fast. This is the power of technology.
After Chen Yao got out of the car, he looked at his watch and saw that it was already 8 pm.
It¡¯s still a long way from my hometown. I¡¯ll stay one night near the train station tonight and take a taxi back tomorrow.
Went into a fast food restaurant for a full meal, and then stayed at a nearby hotel for one night.
The next morning, just after Chen Yao checked out, his cell phone rang and Lao Luo came.
The two parties agreed on a meeting place, and then walked into a nearby Hong Kong-style restaurant.
 "It's great to see you, great writer. I'm so worried after losing contact for a few months." Luo Kun walked over with a smile.
It¡¯s not surprising that you can¡¯t be contacted for several months after doing scientific research. There are even scientists who have been unable to contact their families for decades.
Of course, there was no need to tell him about his other identity. Chen Yao sat down opposite him.
Next to Luo Kun is a foreign man with blond hair and blue eyes.
"His name is Slyman, and he is Amazon's book category manager." Luo Kun introduced with a smile.
He pushed up his glasses and looked over with a smile: "Chen, I'm glad to see you. Your book "My Wandering Earth" is so popular. Amazon plans to introduce your books to the platform for sales."
Amazon entered the country very early, but as an e-commerce company, it was beaten steadily by domestic players such as Ali and Jingdong. The only category that could survive was the book category.
Chen Yao took a sip of Hong Kong-style milk tea: "Is it just the domestic market?"
"No." Slyman shook his head: "We have read your book very carefully and conducted research on overseas markets. Your book is also very popular overseas."
Luo Kun said: "The publishing house plans to translate your novel into English. If it sells well in the English-speaking world, it will also be translated into multiple languages."
Chen Yao immediately thought of four words: cultural export.
If the military is a country¡¯s hard power, then culture is a country¡¯s soft power!
Soft power is conquest from the soul level!
In peacetime, soft power is even more important than hard power.
There are many excellent novels written by Chinese people, such as martial arts, fantasy, etc., but there are very few works that can really be exported overseas.
Novels with Eastern backgrounds are difficult for many Western fans to adopt, but science fiction novels are not. Science fiction themes are more easily accepted by overseas fans.
Next, Chen Yao signed a contract with Amazon and sold the books on their platform, making a profit of 73 cents.
The other party provided a platform and promised to promote the book in key locations, so it was reasonable to get 30%.
For Chen Yao, how much income book sales can bring is not the point, the point is its IP value.
If this book becomes a hit overseas, the value of movies, games, and animations will soar significantly.
Think about it before the release of "The Wandering Earth", the domestic box office 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 greater!
It is no exaggeration to say that this book is a super gold mine!
In addition to making money, I also gained fame.
Science fiction novels written by Chinese people can also be accepted by overseas readers, and they can also participate in the Hugo Award competition.
¡°Maybe I can win a science fiction award, I¡¯m a little excited just thinking about it! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
