Chapter 225

Few authors have so many manuscripts in reserve.

What's even more terrifying is the quality—it hasn't dropped in the slightest!

This simply isn't human!

Countless hearts are trembling, and more and more fans are worried that this book will have a rushed ending.

They are frantically posting comments in the review section:

"One chapter an hour, Master Yue is too strong!!!!"

"You guys are urging me to update? Master Yue: Can I still tolerate this fiery temper? *Backhand slap*—here's an explosive update of 60,000 words!"

"But the more she updates, the more afraid I get!"

"A small-time writer is shivering! The great master is terrifyingly powerful!"

"If these are Xu Mingyue's pre-written drafts, I'm worried she'll have a rushed ending. If they aren't, oh my god!!! What kind of god-tier typing speed is this? I'm afraid Master Yue will drop dead from exhaustion."

"Right, please, Master Yue, take a rest!"

For most novels, readers complain that there isn't enough to read and that the author isn't updating fast enough, but with Xu Mingyue, it's the opposite—everyone is complaining that she's updating too much.

They want Xu Mingyue to stop and take a break.

This kind of explosive updating makes them feel afraid.

At this moment, Gu Qingyao appears.

She uses her editor account to comment in the book review section.

"Everyone, don't worry. I have already asked Xu Mingyue, and this is a normal update."

Under normal circumstances, editors don't reply to book reviews, let alone help authors explain things.

But Gu Qingyao saw that Xu Mingyue had no intention of explaining it to the readers, so she finally had to explain it herself to prevent the fans' misunderstandings from growing.

You have to know, there are still over a thousand chapters left.

This update speed every day is very scary.

This statement is not long.

But it left the fans and the web authors following the matter stunned for a moment, and then they exploded.

"'Normal update'??"

"Holy crap!"

"Editor, do you have some misunderstanding of what a 'normal update' is? Or does Master Xu Mingyue have some misunderstanding of it?"

"This is too crazy."

"Is this kind of update speed really something a human body can sustain?"

"Even voice-to-text typing isn't this fast, right?"

"..."

The fans are discussing it heatedly, and the review section is very lively, but everyone has also temporarily set their minds at ease.

At least for now, it doesn't look like it's going to have a rushed ending.

It's just that the updating is a little bit abnormal.

Yeah, it's really just a little bit.

The young lady didn't pay attention to the liveliness of the novel's review section.

In fact.

Last night, after uploading the more than one thousand chapters of the novel's manuscript according to the scheduled release, she stopped paying attention to the novel side of things.

As for the rest, leave it to time.

She is just waiting to collect the royalties.

As for the remaining parts that haven't been recorded yet, she plans to find time to finish them later; anyway, there isn't much left, so there's no need to panic.

Actually, come to think of it.

The subscription fees for the novel aren't high; it's estimated that by the time it finishes, it will only add up to about 20 or 30 million.

It's not as fast as releasing two songs, nor is it as easy as releasing songs.

But what she values is the novel's IP potential and copyright fees.

Compared to subscription fees, these two are the real big earners.

After a novel becomes a massive hit and gains a huge number of fans, it will become a major IP.

Subsequently, the film and television rights, game rights, physical publishing rights, and so on for this novel—every single item is very profitable.

It's comparable to a small gold mine.

Take Jin Yong's *The Smiling, Proud Wanderer*, *The Return of the Condor Heroes*, *Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils*... for example.

As long as any director wants to adapt these works into film or television, or any game company wants to turn them into games, they all need to obtain the original author's consent and pay copyright fees.

Even the actors playing the male and female leads in the film and television works need to obtain the author's approval.

And.

This isn't a one-time deal.

During the author's lifetime and for fifty years after their passing, one can enjoy the benefits brought by the copyright fees.

This is what the young lady values the most.

Of course, as a fan of *Zhe Tian*, she herself doesn't want to sell the film and television rights; she wants to film it herself.

However, that is a matter for the distant future.

This novel is destined to be a major production.

An investment of several hundred million is just a drop in the bucket; I'm afraid even the "Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin" scene would barely be filmed with that.

Don't think about these random things.

The two sisters held hands and entered the elevator.

At this time.

They and Lin Yan had already arrived downstairs at the Wuyi Animation Studio and were taking the elevator to the fifth floor where the company is located.

The old elevator made a clanking sound; it didn't have the smoothness of the elevators in shopping malls, making the two sisters a little worried that the elevator might malfunction.

It can be seen that not only has Wuyi Animation Studio been around for some years, but even the elevator is full of stories.

Wuyi Animation Studio.

At this very moment.

There aren't many employees in the studio; including the person in charge, there are only seven people.

Those who could leave have already left; the ones remaining either have nowhere better to go, are unwilling to give up their animation dreams, or have an emotional attachment to the old company.

This studio has been swaying in the wind and rain for twenty-three years.

It once stood at the pinnacle of Huaxia's animated films, seeing all the scenery of the world.

And it has also declined like this before, on the verge of bankruptcy.

At this time.

Everyone has no heart for work, their eyes looking towards the elevator entrance outside the office from time to time.

Today determines the future fate of the studio.

Actually, there isn't any work to do either.

"Sigh..." Zhou Wenyi sighed faintly.

He is the person in charge of Wuyi Animation Studio.

Because his name contains the character "Yi" (one), and they mainly focus on children's animation, the studio was named Wuyi (Five-One); the reason it wasn't named Liuyi (Six-One) is because that name had already been taken.

He once founded this studio with his own hands, and now he has to sell it; his heart feels very uncomfortable.

But there's no other way.

He is no longer in his youth, and the employees in the studio have also fallen behind the times; they can no longer stand firm in today's anime circle.

Hearing that Lin Yan came to poach him, what he thought of was to fight for a future for these old brothers who have been with him for a long time, which can be considered a good parting.

Actually, these old brothers aren't lacking in ability; it's mainly a lack of creativity. They can't adapt to the kind of Japanese anime style that young people like nowadays.

"*Ding! *"

Suddenly, the elevator door opened.

Zhou Wenyi and the employees looked at the elevator entrance in unison, only to see a stunningly beautiful mature woman and two young girls of similar height and figure walking out of the elevator.

Both girls were wearing masks, sunglasses, and baseball caps, dressed in white long dresses and flat shoes, yet even so, one could still see their graceful, hot, and tall figures—a style of a celebrity going out.
