Chapter 206 Ace
Readers with tricky tastes get two messages from these writers' microblogs, that is, Lin Han finally wrote a new book, titled "The Wandering Earth"!
As for when to release it, it is unknown where it is published, it is full of mystery, and there is no official news. It depends entirely on the members of the Hanlin Academy to transform into Sherlock Holmes and Conan to search for clues everywhere.
Hot posts from the Hanlin Academy forum appeared again, "Lin Han's new book is suspected to be exposed, and his reputation is severely polarized. Many science fiction writers are looking for resources online!"
Most of the people who chose to hang out in this forum are Lin Han's fans. This post undoubtedly attracted all their attention. After "Jurassic Park", I finally wrote a new book, and even short stories can satisfy my cravings.
What's more, the title of this book is very grand and exciting at first glance.
The debate and resource-seeking ended soon. "The Wandering Earth" uploaded in the science fiction nebula group completely shocked the hungry and thirsty writers, which was a novel that most of them could not reach.
Many people will come to find fault when reading science fiction novels, but when watching "The Wandering Earth", they can only feel all kinds of emotions, as if this is a world-class science fiction master's work, not from a young Chinese writer.
Even though it is inappropriate to carry the earth to wander around, the scientific descriptions in the novel make people unable to help but convince, as if that is correct.
How many people can really calculate these things? Only a very small number, a very small number of people can understand these formulas and scientific contents.
Most people read a person who is not clear and sharp, and just writes it in detail and thoroughly, as if it is separated by a mountain.
When "Martian Rescue" was launched, these science fiction writers did not come specifically to discuss it. Now their enthusiasm has been ignited by this "The Wandering Earth". The top science fiction writers began to analyze the rationality and irrationality in it. Ordinary writers studied the literary and artistic nature of novels, and the division of labor was clear.
Tong Yonglie, the most famous science fiction writer in China, wrote on his Weibo that he had not updated for half a year: "Today I saw a friend's "The Wandering Earth". The magnificent description is probably the ultimate in the novel. No other novel can describe such a shocking cosmic scene. How great and tragic is human beings spend several worlds to complete the migration. The novel's description of human nature is extremely interesting, and human beings are indifferent to survival. If 10 points, I will give 9.5 points, the best short story this year."
"I finally got the electronic version after struggling for so long. I have read it over and over again. Please cherish every day when the sun is still there." Science fiction novelist Shen Yi was filled with emotion, but accidentally spoiled a little.
This is probably the case with praise. No one goes to public relations and other writers. This novel is not worth public relations. It is just published in a supplementary issue, which is the crystallization of this salon.
"The development of science makes us more respectful to nature. This is a novel that is as poetic as a song. I wonder if the words such as strangeness, magnificence, shock, and gorgeousness can be used to completely describe the feeling this novel brings to people."
"If I want to recommend a science fiction novel to others, I will definitely have "The Wandering Planet" in my choice!"
"Humans are tenacious and miraculous lives. They actively respond to disasters. The ending is a bit tear-jerking, and Lin Han's sensational skills have improved to the next level."
These science fiction writers were collectively excited, but they made the readers suffer. The more praises they gave, the more uncomfortable they felt. You guys would take a look!
It was like gently brushing the soles of the feet with feathers. This waiting was the cruelest torture in history.
Not only Lin Han's readers were angry, but the fans of the other authors also began to criticize and fight. If you have the ability to post book reviews and have the ability to provide resources, just talk without practicing fake styles.
After Lin Han and Chen Jiaxuan came home after two hours of playing in the archery hall, they saw the shocking resentment of these readers, as if they were about to turn into substance.
Those who were urging, teasing, and cursed, these little goblins used all kinds of ways but could not get a response. The magazine "Fantasy Age" invested by Lin Han had to come out to refute the rumors. His own magazine never received this magazine and did not know when and where it would be released.
Since it is not in "Fantasy Age", it is probably another old magazine. So the official Weibo of "Science Fiction World" was also bombarded. The latest Weibo post has a surge in messages, but the content of the reply has almost nothing to do with the main text.
"Editor, is Lin Han's new book "The Wandering Planet" released in your magazine?"
"Are you going to publish "The Wandering Planet" next month?"
"Apart from "Fantasy Age", it's probably your magazine. If there is this novel, I'll book one now."
"Don't suck your appetite, okay! I'll announce it quickly, I can't wait, I'll give you a preview and it's okay."
"Did you make a squeak too?"
At this time, the editors of "Science Fiction World" were bleeding in their hearts. Damn Lin Han was simply in a state of dissipation. Why did the new book do such a big formation? It was originally invisible, but now it appears again.
Wang Yifan, who had just turned from an intern, sighed softly and said, "Oh, if this novel is placed in our magazine, sales will definitely hit a new high."
He was also appreciated because of Lin Han. The original "Rural Teacher" was handed over to his master Chen Chuhe through him. Now he naturally wants to get Lin Han's new book, but this is almost impossible.
"What stupid things are you saying? If you are heard by others later, you will be troubled. But those authors are really tough. I heard that several senior editors asked them for an electronic version of Lin Han's new book, but they were not successful."
Wang Yifan pursed his lips. Now the sales of "Science Fiction World" have dropped a lot, and was diverted by the magazine "Fantasy Age" co-organized by Lin Han and Li Wenyuan.
The magazine is now focusing on these two science fiction writers. Now that sales have been rising after the resumption of the publication, basically each issue can stabilize at around 250,000 copies.
However, the sales of "Science Fiction World" began to decline steadily, with 1.2 million at the beginning of the year, but now there are only more than 900,000 copies. The readers are just some of them. If they buy one magazine, they will give up another magazine.
Now the heads of the editorial department are racking their brains to restore sales, otherwise the title of the best-selling magazine you have won will be taken back!
"Shh, look, Lin Hanwei-Bo has a reply, I just said it's not in our magazine!"
Wang Yifan quietly opened the Weibo and clicked to enter Lin Han's page. He took a serious look, and then turned it off without doing anything.
"Don't worry, "The Wandering Earth" will be published in the supplementary issue of "Science Pictorial" this month with the works of other writers, and it will be released in about a week. This is a short story. After the magazine is released, it will be opened for a paid download of "The Wandering Earth" separately, which only costs one cent."
Lin Han just charges a penny for electronic version download fees. He does not want readers to develop the habit of free. In this era of inflation, it is extremely cost-effective to buy e-books with just one cent.
After the parties involved came forward, science fiction readers scattered around Weibo seemed to have found their backbone and gathered back one after another.
Everyone started to discuss it all over the place, and many people were willing to give more money to take a look. Such a waiting is simply torment!
However, Lin Han couldn't help them either. This was a supplement organized by the Science Popularization Writers Association and the Science Pictorial. Others said they would publish it whenever they said they would. Lin Han could not make his own decision.
...
"Science Pictorial" is the oldest comprehensive science popularization journal in China. It is now sponsored by the China Science Society. It mainly introduces the latest scientific and technological knowledge in a popular and vivid way, both pictures and texts.
Over the past few decades, it has played a significant role in the popularization of domestic science. Many famous scholars, professors, and scientists have been influenced and inspired by it in their youth.
The most popular sections among readers are probably contemporary technology, technology wide-angle mirrors, science and life, science fiction, brain thinking, family medicine, scientific detectives and other columns.
There are very few science fiction novels that can be featured in "Science Pictorial", all of which are excellent. They advocate hard science fiction novels, but most short stories are soft science fiction, so long novels have been excerpted.
After experiencing ups and downs, the sales of "Science Pictorial" gradually declined. At its highest period, sales exceeded 5 million copies per month! There are too many journals available now, but it can still maintain more than 1.5 million copies per month, occasionally exceed 2 million copies, and even international issues.
"I thought I couldn't sell the supplementary 300,000 copies, but I didn't expect that Lin Han's novels were so attractive, so they were simply our trump card. When promoting them, focus on Lin Han. This young man's novel has a bit of flavor."
The magazine editor-in-chief Zhao Yuanqun originally regarded the release of this supplement as a political task being completed, but who would have thought that it would become a big beauty?
Now if you want to invite Lin Han to post articles on their magazines, you can’t even invite a thousand words or 5,000 yuan. Any science fiction or fantasy magazine can get Lin Han’s book sales to rise a lot.
This time, Lin Han only received a royal fee of 1,000 yuan in a thousand words, but it turned out that the Science Pictorial made a bargain. No wonder they wanted to promote Lin Han as a trump card. This is too cost-effective!
This supplement is actually more like a collection of short science fiction novels. In the past, 300,000 copies were printed every quarter, but the sales were always not very good unless a well-known science fiction writer took the lead.
Tong Yonglie had written articles in supplementary issues before, but that issue sold almost 300,000 copies. Most of the time, the government agencies, school governments, and state-owned enterprises paid for the rest.
Executive editor Wang Weiyu asked: "Since it's so popular, is it a bit conservative for us to print 300,000 copies? Lin Han has a very strong business appeal. Now readers are very eager to see it. We can print more."
"Will 500,000 copies be too risky? Apart from putting our magazine's name on the supplement, most of the rest have nothing to do with us."
Zhao Yuanqun thought carefully, "Let's investigate the reader's purchasing power first, and then decide, Weiyu, you will be responsible, and you must tell me the exact conclusion tomorrow afternoon."
Chapter completed!
