China's Richest Writers List Announced Fantasy Writer Becomes Richest with 25.5 Million Yuan The "2013 Eighth Main List of China's Richest Writers", which has attracted much attention from all walks of life, is exclusively released nationwide by West China Metropolis Daily! The waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead. The 36-year-old fantasy writer Jiang Nan, who ranked fifth last year, has become the new richest Chinese writer with an annual royalty income of 25.5 million yuan. Literary veteran Mo Yan still ranks second with a royalty income of 24 million yuan. Zheng Yuanjie, the richest man last year, ranked third with a full-year royalty income of 18 million yuan. In addition, the 30 seats on the 2012 Seventh China Rich Writers List expanded to 60 this year. These 60 writers on the list earned a total of 340 million yuan last year. Wu Huaiyao, founder of the Chinese Writers Rich List brand, said, "If we look at book pricing, these 60 writers have created more than 3 billion in wealth a year, enriching the spiritual lives of hundreds of millions of readers and creating a large number of employment opportunities for society." Fantasy literature has entered the mainstream Jiangnan and Liu Cixin are on the list Jiang Nan is currently a popular figure in Chinese fantasy literature. His becoming the new richest man in this year's list of richest Chinese writers actually sends an important signal to the literary world. Fantasy literature has now become the mainstream of popular literature. Among the 60 people on the list, many writers are leaders in fantasy literature. For example, Hunan writer Leo Phantom, who ranks fourth with 17.8 million annual royalties, is good at writing children's fantasy adventure novels. His works such as "Charlie IX" have sold tens of millions of copies. ; The 21st-ranked Chengdu beauty writer Chuan Chenshuangshu created the ancient animation fantasy masterpiece "The Tale of Plankton"; Beijing writer Liu Cixin made the list of the richest Chinese writers for the first time this year precisely because his science fiction novel "The Three-Body Problem" has thousands of readers in China... Fantasy novels have always been an inseparable part of Chinese traditional culture that has lasted for thousands of years, starting from the earliest "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" to later "Sou Shen Ji", "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio" and "Journey to the West". In the West, fantasy novels have long been mainstream literature. Novels such as "The Lord of the Rings", "Harry Potter" and "A Song of Ice and Fire" have sold no less than 10 million copies worldwide. In an interview with a reporter from West China Metropolis Daily, Jiang Nan said: "On the subject of fantasy, the creations in recent years have been relatively mediocre. It seems that we have not yet formed a strong enough expeditionary force to pick up the gems on the fantasy laurel. I think the success of fantasy novels is related to the understanding and reconstruction of the country's mythological tradition. We have a good tradition, but lack effective understanding, analysis and reconstruction." Who is not confused in their youth? Liu Tong and Lu Qicheng are "dark horses". The Rich List of Chinese Writers has been in its eighth edition since its inception in 2006. Guo Jingming, who is famous for his youth novels, has been at the top of the list every year. In 2007, 2008 and 2011, Guo Jingming topped the list of the richest writers in China three times with royalties of 11 million yuan, 13 million yuan and 24.5 million yuan respectively, becoming the "King of Bestsellers on the Rich List of Chinese Writers". Last year, Guo Jingming only ranked 4th with a royalty income of 14 million yuan. This year, he dropped significantly, falling to 8th. This is because he has not released any major works before the data collection deadline of the 8th China Rich Writers List, and has transferred his writing energy to making movies. However, his "Tiny Times" series is still a best-seller, and his annual royalty income is only 1 million lower than last year. Although Guo Jingming's ranking on the list is "sluggish", there are still many youth literature writers among the writers on this year's list. Liu Tong, a new generation writer in China and a representative figure of youth inspirational novels, has sold more than one million copies with his work "Whose Youth Is Not Confused", setting a record for youth inspirational literature in recent years. He also ranked 14th with an annual royalty income of 7.15 million yuan. This is the first time that he has entered the rich list of Chinese writers, and he can be called a dark horse writer in this year's rich list of Chinese writers. In addition, emotional literary works are also very popular in this year's book market. Lu Qi's "Marriage is a lifetime affair for a woman" makes this "emotional dad" appear on the list for the first time. Su Qin, who wrote "True Love Is Not So Tiring, Happiness Is Not So Expensive", is also on the list for the first time. It is worth noting that whether they are youth novels or emotional readings, their authors are all very young, born in the 1980s. Liu Tong is 32 years old, Lu Qi is 30 years old, and Su Qin is 32 years old. The sudden rise of young writers has undoubtedly brought a breath of fresh air to the eight-year-old Chinese Writers Rich List. Film and television celebrities gathered together to publish books. Feng Xiaogang became a "rich writer". Chai Jing is also a "newcomer" in this year's rich list of Chinese writers. This famous female host has countless fans. Her autobiographical work "Seeing" during her ten-year hosting career ranked her tenth. The ultra-high royalties of 11.5 million made her another dark horse writer. As early as August this year, in the "China Book Retail Market Report for the First Half of 2013", "Seeing" was the sales champion in the comprehensive data of the three major lists of fiction, non-fiction and children. There are many film and television celebrities like Chai Jing who have crossed over to publish books in this year's list of the richest Chinese writers. Host Le Jia, who has become popular in recent years, wrote "Love Is Hard to Guess", ranking him 17th with a royalty income of 5.6 million, while Meng Fei, who became popular through the marriage show "If You Are the One", also ranked 19th with "Let It Happen". Senior TV personality Yang Lan wrote "Happiness Wants an Answer" after "Bing Hai Lin Feng" and "Ask the World". Sales have been good over the past year, making her ranked 36th. Bai Yansong, a well-known writer who is constantly writing, also talks about "happiness" like Yang Lan. His "Are You Happy" earned him 1.8 million yuan. According to Wu Huaiyao, the famous host Li Lei, who will serve as the live host of "Yi Zhongtian Dialogue with Wu Si" during the 8th China Writers Rich List Cultural Festival, will also publish his debut novel. Even the famous director Feng Xiaogang (Weibo) has caught up with this year's trend of film and television celebrities publishing books. While filming new films and directing the Spring Festival Gala, he also found time to complete the essay collection "Not Worrying". This book made this "rich Chinese director" become a "rich Chinese writer" for the first time.
