After the college entrance examination, life began to follow one's heart

Chapter 84 Chi Linyue's Home, Novel Copyright Thoughts
Soon, Xu Lin drove to the community where Chi Linyue lived.

After parking in the underground garage, Xu Lin got out of the car, and Chi Linyue next to him also got out. However, she had been drinking, and her walking was not very stable, so she leaned against the car.

Seeing this, Xu Lin went over to help her.

"Society is quite dangerous nowadays, there are many bad people, and drinking can easily lead to trouble."

Xu Lin reminded her.

"I know."

"Don't drink anymore in the future. If you insist on drinking, tell me!"

"Will you help me drink it?"

"I'll pick it up!"

"Bah, not serious!"

Chi Linyue rolled her eyes at him.

At this moment, Chi Linyue suddenly noticed Xu Lin's fair skin. "After so long of military training, how come there seems to be no change? Still so fair?"

"Maybe I'm sun-resistant!"

"so."

Chi Linyue didn't think much about it. She thought Xu Lin was pretty good with a fair complexion, but she didn't like dark skin.

Soon the two arrived at the door of their home.

This area outside is Chi Linyue's private space. Xu Lin let go of Chi Linyue and asked her to take off her high heels here.

Chi Linyue is really seductive. I don't know if it's intentional or if she's just like that. For example, right now, even taking off her high heels is so seductive, whether it's her movements or her posture, or the thrilling way she bends over with her top-notch figure...

This woman is so capable!

Xu Lin also took off his shoes and changed into slippers.

Then he followed Chi Linyue into the house.

The moment the door opened, the scent of Chi Linyue hit my nose again.

Chi Linyue said to Xu Lin, "Just sit down and treat it like your own home. If you want some wine, you can get it at the bar!"

"Then I'm welcome!"

"Yeah, drink whatever you want!"

Chi Linyue added: "I'm going to take a shower first."

Xu Lin went to the bar to get some red wine.

He didn't know what red wine was, so he took a bottle, uncorked it, and started drinking it down with one gulp.

Energy (85/100): Full of energy.

Xu Lin can now see his energy bar, so he usually keeps his energy between 80 and 90. In this state, he will be very energetic, without any fatigue, nor will he be too energetic. "Energetic" is a relatively comfortable range for him.

After drinking the red wine, Xu Lin went to the sofa to rest.

He sent a message to Ning Yuhan, saying that he was going out tonight and that she had wanted to have dinner with him.

Where is Rong Xiyan?

She updated a circle of friends.

It turned out that she had a dinner with a girl and the meal was very sumptuous.

Caption: May our friendship last forever!
Xu Lin didn't know this girl either. She was not in their class. He thought she was the high school friend Rong Xiyan mentioned. She had two good friends in high school, one went to Beijing and the other stayed in Jiangdu.

When they first enter college, many people are still active in their high school circles, but as they get to know the people in college, they may not necessarily play with their high school friends. In fact, many people are just temporary friends with each other. Of course, there are also quite a few people who become lifelong friends with their high school friends, and the same is true in college.

Xu Lin gave Rong Xiyan a like, then exited the app and started watching short videos.

But Xu Lin felt bored after watching it for more than ten minutes. He was not a person who was addicted to short videos, at most he was addicted to games.

On the other side, Chi Linyue took a shower for more than 40 minutes before coming out.

When she came out, she was wearing just ordinary pink pajamas, which wasn't anything special, but her body was steaming hot, giving the impression of a beauty emerging from the bath.

Xu Lin had nothing to do, thinking that it was just after eight o'clock in the evening.

"Do you have a laptop handy?"

Xu Lin asked.

"Do you want to use the computer?"

Chi Linyue asked him.

Xu Lin nodded, "Yes."

"Then wait for me for a moment."

Soon, Chi Linyue took out a laptop and charger from the room and gave them to Xu Lin.

Chi Linyue reminded: "It's almost out of power, charge it before using it!"

"Then I'm going back to my room!"

"Uh-huh."

Xu Lin returned to the room where he slept last time. He still had a set of clothes here, which were neatly folded on the bed.

Xu Lin opened his laptop and plugged it in.

Log in to your secondary account.

Yue Ye and the others brought a lot of news.

Xu Lin hasn't been online for a while.

Speaking of which, Daddy Don't Want It, which is Wu Chengfeng's novel, has now successfully exceeded 100,000 in average subscriptions. As of this morning, the latest news from Wu Chengfeng is that the average subscription has reached more than 113,000.

At present, the word count of this book is only 470,000 words.

According to the outline Xu Lin gave him, this book normally has at least three million words, so it is hard to say how many millions of average subscriptions it will have by the time "Listen to the Wind Sing" is finished.

One book is enough for Wu Chengfeng to change his fate.

Moreover, Wu Chengfeng consulted Xu Lin many times. To use the words of online literature, Wu Chengfeng really realized something, so he was able to take off with the help of Xu Lin's outline. An ordinary author would not be able to handle it.

You can understand this by comparing it with the ascetics.

Toudao's book has been online for ten days, and with over 60,000 words, it currently has over 50,000 collections. It's also held by two outdated authors. In a time when there aren't any strong authors releasing books, Toudao's book is currently number one on the new book list, which is not bad, but it's definitely not as good as Wu Chengfeng's book at the same time. The gap between authors is huge, and it can't be made up by hard work. It depends on talent, strength, and a bit of luck.

Xu Lin plans to continue writing his outline tonight and finish it in a few days. There are two copies in total, which he will write together.

Before that, Xu Lin opened Yue Ye’s chat interface again.

Yue Ye just received the manuscript fee yesterday and is contacting Xu Lin.

Only accept daily settlement: "Yes."

After a few seconds.

Yue Ye: "Big Boss! It's finally online! I'm getting my royalties again!"

Yue Ye: "Big Boss, is it still the same QR code as before?"

Xu Lin knew that it was time to collect the money again.

Only accept daily settlement: "Yes."

Yue Ye: "Big Boss, I transferred the money to you!"

Buzz!

Soon, Xu Lin received 80,000 yuan in his account.

Yue Ye basically transfers one-third of the after-tax royalties to Xu Lin, which can be said to be very sincere. After all, on the Internet, you can't expect others to remember your kindness, so Yue Ye is a good person and Xu Lin doesn't mind continuing the cooperation.

【Wealth: 577537.46 yuan.】

The deposit has reached 570,000.

Yue Ye: "Big brother, thank you so much for this period of time. I am almost done paying off my mortgage! 吱牙.jpg"

Only accept daily wages: "Keep going, happy cooperation."

Moonlight: "Holding fist.jpg"

Tread...  

At this time, Chi Linyue came in with a small plate of watermelon.

"Xu Lin, would you like some watermelon?"

"Thanks, sis."

"Uh-huh."

Chi Linyue looked at Xu Lin's computer screen and asked, "What are you doing?"

Chi Linyue didn't know how much wealth this wealthy woman had, but this large flat alone was worth over a hundred million, so Xu Lin didn't think that earning a few small sums was anything special, so he just said, "Make money!"

"How do you make money?"

Chi Linyue was curious and moved another chair over and sat down.

So Xu Lin told his money-making model.

Simply put, he collaborates with others to write novels. In the industry, this is called making books, but Xu Lin only makes top-quality products.

In this regard, Xu Lin also looked through Yue Ye’s chat history.

Chi Linyue was quite surprised to see that Xu Lin had earned hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Chi Linyue was surprised: "I didn't expect you could do this! And you make a lot of money!"

In Chi Linyue's opinion, hundreds of thousands of dollars is not a small amount of money for a teenager, not to mention that he earned it with his own ability.

"This is what I earned when I was a ghostwriter, and thanks to this person's sincerity, he doesn't have to share the subsequent royalties with me."

"It's indeed very sincere." Chi Linyue nodded.

Xu Lin: "The route I'm taking now is that I make the outline and let others write it. We sign a contract and the profits are split 40% to 60%, with me taking 40%."

"So, does this model make money? How much can you earn from the outline you provided?"

Chi Linyue asked.

Xu Lin opened the book "Hear the Wind Sing". At present, this book has climbed to ninth place on the sales list. It is not ranked at the top because of the small number of words and few updates. Otherwise, the average subscription, even if it did not reach the top, would be enough to enter the top three of the sales list.

"This book is my outline, but it needs a writer of considerable ability to develop it, otherwise it won't achieve this kind of results."

Xu Lin said, "This book is currently ranked ninth on the sales list, and I think it will continue to rise!"

“How much profit did this book make?”

"According to this website, the royalties for this book are estimated to be over 500,000 this month, and they will only increase and not decrease. It's hard to say exactly, but once it reaches the top, it will be over 2 million a month."

“That’s quite a lot!”

Chi Linyue was surprised.

Chi Linyue is indeed a rich woman, earning more than two million a month, but that’s just a lot.

You should know that in ordinary cities, two million is enough to buy a house in full and spend hundreds of thousands on renovations.

Go back to the countryside, two million is enough to build a big villa!
"Xu Lin, you are quite amazing. You even have this ability!" Chi Linyue exclaimed.

After a while, Chi Linyue suddenly said, "Speaking of which, I thought of something. If you sell the outline to someone else, who will own the copyright?"

"The other party's."

In fact, Xu Lin had never thought about copyright issues before. He only planned to earn money from royalties.

He hadn't thought about it more.

Chi Linyue said, "I had a friend who was an investor in novel copyrights for a while. I saw that some copyrights were quite profitable, with some earning tens of millions, and some earning hundreds of thousands. But if the copyrights were successfully managed, it would bring in a considerable profit. Of course, there were also quite a few that were unprofitable."

After a pause, Chi Linyue continued, "Suppose you have the publishing rights to a book, and you successfully manage the copyright, then the profits from the copyright management have nothing to do with you, right?"

"It really doesn't matter anymore."

Xu Lin nodded slightly.

Chi Linyue asked again: "What if you hold the copyright and you only provide the outline but don't have to do any work? Have you ever thought about it?"

"What should we do in this situation?" Xu Lin was a little tempted.

"Open a company... Actually, a studio is fine too. When the time comes, the copyright will belong to your studio, which means it's yours. Those who write for you are just employees, and they take a portion of the royalties. Like the 40:60 split you just mentioned, they take 60%."

Chi Linyue smiled and said, "This way, everything you should take is in your hands!"
