Therefore, I hope that Yu Qiuyu, who is the leader, can earn 140 million, and this industry is considered normal. As for why some writers are rich and some are poor, this question is too meaningless.This is the case in any business, there are those who can get along and those who can't.China still lacks great writers. Great writers must have good writing skills and charisma.But from the comments of many people, I see that everyone seems to hope that such a person will die poor in the end. Authors must be honorable, but these are just due royalties.I write a book, this is the money, should I not give it to the publishing house?Economic security is also an important prerequisite for Qinggao. Even if you can’t get enough to eat, people spend hundreds of dollars in vagrants. In order to support their families, I’m afraid I have to write poems for a certain real estate.Because of the protection of royalties, I can refuse and refuse almost all commercial activities.

Someone else asked, is it correct to use this definition of a literary giant?It's definitely not right, but I believe that even a great writer will never be poor.In the past 100 years, after the normalization of human society, most of the writers who can be counted at home and abroad have been like this.This is the same in all industries. Literati Jiwen Among all the lists, the author's royalties list should be relatively easy to make.A book writer doesn't have much commercial activity, and the naked prints are multiplied by royalties and sales.Of course, it is difficult to calculate the sales volume, not to mention that the reporter does not know, even the author does not know.The most unlucky situation is that even the publishing house does not know, only the printing house knows, such as mine.

The most reliable way to calculate how much money a writer gets is from the tax bureau.Because the money the author gets is after taxes are deducted. For example, my royalty rate is 14% to 15%, and it should be more than 12% after tax.This is the real deal, so it is suggested that the next list should be formulated by the tax bureau.In the future, when some publishing houses claim to have sold more than one million copies in an instant, please also show the tax deduction form issued to the author's royalties. In a harmonious society, bragging is also taxed. According to this year's statistics, I have an income of 3.8 million.I feel like my money is above board, so there's nothing I can't say.Basically, any number would be too much for someone with Yu Qiuyu's personality.And most writers will say, I don't know, there are so many, I haven't counted them.

The writer is really a man of temperament, and he doesn't care about it. The figure of 3.8 million is indeed too much for me.I published a book this year, and the royalties are more than 1.9 million, and the tax is more than 1.6 million.The sales of other old books can bring me hundreds of thousands of income. After deducting taxes, all of them should be around 2 million.Looks like I'm going to file a tax return this year.I am ashamed to say that I was not eligible to file a tax return last year. Unfortunately, the income from racing cars did not meet the tax filing standards, and it was published the year before last.

As for the fact that I don't have the money to subsidize it by publishing books, that's a matter of course.I'm not racing, I'm racing.Playing cars is spending money to play, and it doesn't matter if you are a Mercedes-Benz, BMW or Porsche, if you want me to drive fast, you have to give me money.Therefore, with this year's annual driver championship in the championship, there should be one-tenth of the income from the royalties on the car.At the same time, I would like to remind you that the income of the top drivers in the country does not exceed 1 million in the best years, and the task is to fight for the champion of the rally and the field, risking a little bit of life. It is recommended that those who want to make a fortune do not choose this Row.

Looking at this list, the current writers are winning with quantity, and they are more industrialized.It is reported that within one year, the annual money-making champion, member of the Chinese Writers Association and original writer Guo Jingming published his own books plus royalties for about 14 literary magazines.Earning 3 million by writing by himself, and 8 million by writing, is also a manifestation of his full play of his expertise.Of course, the 11 million will also deduct his company's operating costs, which are very high, because the boss needs to see the Huangpu River to confirm that he is really in Shanghai.Although the people he hired were very poor, there is nothing wrong with the ancient saying that "literati hire the poor".However, the team of the richest man seems to be a bit poor, which has caused some people to change when they are poor.

Zheng Yuanjie has nearly 50 complete works, Yu Dan also has five or six, and Rao Xueman (she published my first novel in "Youth Literature and Art" at the time, congratulations) also has many books.This also shows that our reading environment is not very good. Generally speaking, I don’t think writing many books a year is a long-term solution for a single writer.But it is still possible to make a fortune by writing in the past few years.For example, the maker of this list, I suggest that he interview the people on this list, and then write a book "The Writer Tells You How to Get Rich" or "Writers on the List by Sitting at Home". If it is particularly popular, maybe next year The first place is him.What a sight that would be.No. 1 on the list next year, ×××, the work is a book that teaches you how to rank No. 1 on this list.That was a real example, a world-class demonstration.

Judging from this figure, Chinese writers still earn too little, and in a country with a population of more than one billion, it is still difficult to produce super bestsellers.I very much hope that in the future China will be able to earn 10 million for a bestseller, which is more than 1 million US dollars. Even so, it is still below the world average.Because we have boasted that we are a cultural power for countless years. People in cultural powers don’t like reading very much?Or just like to read pirated books?Don't tell me the original is too expensive.In all fairness, books are relatively cheap commodities in my country, and the rise in the price of pork and gasoline does not seem to be able to drive the price increase of books.I remember that my book was about 20 yuan a piece 8 years ago, and it is basically 20 yuan a piece now.Don’t tell me it’s still 20 yuan a copy in 50 years. I hope that in 2058, when we welcome the next Olympic Games, the annual inflation will be included. The royalties of a best-selling book of 2 million won’t just be enough for me to fly. I went to Beijing once. Of course, I believe that the air ticket at that time was 500,000 yuan, and the fuel surcharge was 1.5 million yuan.

I still hope that there will be super bestsellers in China soon, preferably novels, which can sell more than 10 million copies per book.Of course, it is real data, not just sold out by publishers.In other words, among 130 people, one person will buy a copy.This request should not be excessive.Even if that person is unlikely to be me, I hope so.
