Chapter 163: Ye Xuan

Watching Director Chen Kaige leave in low spirits, Ye Xuan only felt that Director Chen Kaige was full of the decadence of autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves.

The whole person seemed to carry a capital "Failure"!

Shaking his head to throw the strange thoughts out of his mind, Ye Xuan replied on his phone to Xu Ke, who was still frantically outputting.

A few minutes later, he and Director Xu Ke finalized the copyright for *The Return of the Condor Heroes*.

Not until there were no more new messages flashing on his phone did Ye Xuan put it aside.

Reviewing slightly in his mind, Ye Xuan also calculated his earnings.

The copyright fees for *One Hundred Years of Solitude* and *The Old Man and the Sea* were still settled quarterly and continued to be deposited into his card.

The copyright fee for the first quarter was 20-22 million.

The copyright fees for the following three quarters declined slightly, but the copyright fee for each quarter remained fluctuating around 15 million.

In other words, just relying on the copyright fees of the first two books, Ye Xuan earned 67 million throughout the year.

Besides that, the two film and television adaptation fees for *The Legend of the Condor Heroes* and *The Return of the Condor Heroes*, added together, were a full 30 million.

Plus, the income from several sales at the pig farm, all in all, was also 3 or 4 million.

Adding it all up, Ye Xuan himself was quite stunned.

He didn't know until he calculated; he was startled once he did.

He never expected that in just this short year, he had actually already become a billionaire?!

Thinking that his assets had already exceeded 100 million, Ye Xuan couldn't hide his excitement.

But the next second, the sleepiness from not getting enough sleep this morning struck, and Ye Xuan couldn't help but yawn lazily.

Sigh.

After all, he was called up too early by his mother this morning; he'd better go take a nap.

……

On the other side, a few new faces had arrived at the entrance of Qiong Village.

"Family, welcome to the *Walking into the Countryside* live stream room. Today we have come to Qiong Village in Qianzhou City, Xijiang Province..."

Under the lens, reporter Yan Ni, wearing a lotus-purple dress, was gently greeting the netizens who had just entered the live stream room.

*Walking into the Countryside* could also be considered an old-brand program, always focusing on the slogan "Discovering Beautiful Villages," dedicated to helping poor mountain villages achieve rural revitalization.

Reporter Yan Ni also noticed the recent popularity of Qiong Village, which was why she set this interview location in Qiong Village.

However, the program's tone was related to the countryside after all, and its popularity and traffic were far inferior to entertainment programs.

At this time, the number of people watching the live stream was only staying at around 20,000.

"Dear Yan Ni, I'm here, I'm here!"

"Qiong Village?! Why does this name sound a bit familiar?!" ===== CHAPTER 166 =====
