My courtyard shelter
Chapter 687
More than two-thirds of Xu Dong's three million yuan in royalties are from readers. Google Search Reading
His writing is so bad, and he uses the "very toxic" first-person perspective. Most people can't even last a few chapters before they give up.
In contrast.
People prefer to read the summary of die-hard fans.
"Since it makes so much money, why did you only write more than 800,000 words? Why don't you write more?"
Yang Lina asked curiously.
800,000 words, an average of less than 100,000 words per year, is really lazy enough.
"I don't make money from this, why do I write so much?" Xu Dong said shamelessly: "These 800,000 words are the crystallization of all my hard work. Those who understand will understand, and I'm too lazy to explain if they don't understand."
"Just brag, I just glanced at the first chapter, Dabao's composition is more fluent than yours, you are not brushing the data, right?"
"What a joke, I, Xu Dong, still need this little reputation?"
"I really don't understand what you think."
Yang Lina shook her head.
"Okay, you've checked your phone, so don't be suspicious anymore. If you have anything to say, let's talk it out as a family."
"Hmph, that sounds good. You, Mr. Xu, are in a high position now, and I'm afraid you can't resist the temptation."
"Am I so easily tempted? Last year, when I was on a plane and went through security, the machine kept beeping. The security inspector searched for a long time but didn't find any metal. It wasn't until the end that they found out that it was your husband's iron will."
Xu Dong said humorously.
Yang Lina laughed out loud.
"Don't brag, iron will? It's just the end of summer, Dabao and the others can go swimming, but you're the only one who's picky and complains about the cold water."
"What do you know? I'm just keeping healthy."
Xu Dong defended himself forcefully.
Yang Lina returned the phone to her husband:
"I won't talk nonsense with you anymore. It's getting late. Let's go back to bed. Going to bed early and getting up early is the best way to maintain health."
Xu Dong took the phone: "You go to bed first. This has been delayed for ten years. I want to finish it tonight while I am full of inspiration."
"Why don't you continue writing?"
"I have finished writing everything that should be written. Your husband has run out of ideas and can no longer write with the same flavor as before."
Xu Dong said with a double meaning.
In fact, as early as three years ago, on the day of his "death anniversary", it was the most appropriate time to finish the book.
It's just that I can't bear to let it go.
After all, in this book, he poured too many memories and insights, and in a sense, it can be said that he entrusted his concern for his previous life.
It's not that you can let it go just by saying it.
"Aren't you a great talent? You can't write more after only 800,000 words?"
Yang Lina took the opportunity to tease.
"Such a big family business is on my shoulders. How can I have the energy to write now?" Xu Dong stood up directly. "Okay, go and take a shower and go to bed. I'll stay in the study for a while."
"Don't stay up too late."
Yang Lina warned.
Xu Dong waved his hand: "I know, just write the last two thousand words. It won't take much time."
...
At 2:30 in the morning, the final stage of the finishing is in progress:
[Wang Dadong opened his eyes and found himself lying in the hospital. Next to the bed sat his wife with a tired face and his little daughter with swollen eyes.
[I told you, this is a dream! ]
[Now I finally woke up. ]
[Wang Dadong's face showed a touch of ruddy. ]
[(The whole book is finished)]
Xu Dong typed the last line of text and then sighed deeply. Since it is a memory of the previous life, let it stay in the previous life forever!
Recheck it again and click "Publish".
Since then, "My 2020: Back to Before the Big Flare" has been officially completed.
Less than ten minutes after the last chapter was sent out.
Xu Dong just came back from the toilet and unexpectedly found that the comment area was completely blown up. No one was discussing the plot, and everyone was wailing about the broken "dream of getting rich".
In the past many years, many people have made a fortune through the accurate predictions of the "author", and some have made millions, while others can at least ensure food and clothing.
These people are the iron fans of the book.
They are also the main force of rewards.
The largest reward Xu Dong has ever received was ten consecutive "golden leaders", which shocked the entire website at the time and made him famous.
Later, the rewarder sent him a private message and he knew the whole story.
The protagonist Wang Dadong, relying on the memory of his previous life, seized the business opportunity of meat rat breeding, and then, as expected, earned the first pot of gold in his life.
This plot inspired the rewarder, who emptied all his savings and went all in.
It turned out that the plot in the book is not nonsense, but has business logic.
In the following year or so, the donor not only recovered all the 300,000 yuan in costs, but also used the first-mover advantage to quickly grow and become stronger, and it is said that the annual income is as high as eight figures.
Next, the donor invested in many projects one after another according to the "prophecies" that kept appearing in the book. Although there were losses and gains, he still made more money overall.
Now his net worth may have increased several times.
A person should have a beginning and an end. Xu Dong specially posted a farewell post in the comment area.
In less than a minute, he received more than a hundred replies, most of which were to keep him, and some even said that they could accept annual updates.
Xu Dong helplessly posted another post:
"Are you all night owls? It's so late, why haven't you slept yet?"
"Author, how can there be day and night now? We eat when we wake up, and sleep when we are full, just to kill time."
"Boss, are you really going to stop writing?"
Xu Dong replied immediately: "It's true..."
Before he finished replying to the message, a banner suddenly appeared on the website page, with "Golden Alliance" one after another, which made people overwhelmed.
"Damn, it comes again!"
"Tonight we will witness the legend again!"
The fans were immediately excited.
Xu Dong felt a little sorry, and immediately sent a private message to "Yi Zhong Ren", who was the previous rewarder and also the top brother on the list.
"Brother, I appreciate your kindness, don't brush it."
"Brother, you know, I am not short of money now."
"Yi Zhong Ren" brushed two more golden alliances after saying that.
Xu Dong immediately replied: "I forgot to tell you, your big brother is not short of money, there is no point in brushing these."
"Hehe, big brother, I guessed it even if you didn't say it. I can get rich by making a fortune. There is no reason that you, the original author, are worse off than me."
"You still brush it after knowing it?"
"Big brother, I have a request, I hope you can agree to it."
Xu Dong tried to ask: "You don't want to add me on WeChat again?"
"Yi Zhongren" made a similar request when he brushed for the first time, but he rejected it outright.
At the same time, in order to prevent the other party from continuing to pester him, he also gave him a seven-day silence package.
"Big brother, give me a chance, you have stopped writing, how can we contact each other in the future?"
Then there were two more golden alliances.
Xu Dong was scared by the other party: "Okay, stop brushing, send me your WeChat number quickly, I will add you later."
"Thank you, big brother!"
"Yi Zhongren" was overjoyed.
Just over a million yuan in exchange for the contact information of the "big boss", this money is worth it.
Xu Dong did not break his promise and quickly added the other party's WeChat.
Then, he uninstalled the app.
As for the manuscript fee, it will be automatically transferred to his account when the time comes.
