He turned a blind eye to the outside world and devoted himself to writing novels. Lin Han didn't know how many days had passed. His daily life was extremely regular, and he spent ten hours a day in front of the computer.
The original address of the Red Bank Base of the radar peak, the first call from the alien world that Earth civilization heard, a small stone tablet, and a story headed to the end.
"Ye Wenjie's heart was beating hard, like a string about to break. The black fog began to appear in front of her eyes. She held on with the last energy of her life. Before everything sinks into eternal darkness, she wanted to see the sunset at the Red Bank Base again.
The western sky, the sunset that was sinking in the sea of clouds seemed to have melted, and the sun's blood spread out in the sea of clouds and the sky, reflecting a magnificent blood red!
'This is the sunset for human beings...' Ye Wenjie said softly."
After typing the last line of words, Lin Han felt a little reluctant and excited. The meaning of this book to him was obviously different from the rest.
The novel of 200,000 words just ended here. After thinking about it, he wrote "To be continued" on it. "Dark Forest" may be written in more than a month later, and it will not be delayed for a year or two.
Lin Han stood up, and after he walked to the balcony to serve his succulent plants, his mood slowly relaxed.
The sorted manuscript was packaged and sent to Renmin University Press, and Lin Han also sent a copy to Zhao Han.
Before, they were very sincere and gave the "Three-Body Problem" series a very high treatment of 20% of the royalties. This is a level that only real physical masters can have. Ordinary five-star writers cannot enjoy at all. Most writers who can get this royalty are kings of all types.
For example, the king of fairy tales, the king of fantasy, and the queen of youth literature, 15% are a shackle, and 99.9% of writers cannot break through this range. Only the top few people can enjoy it.
The other publishers originally thought that they could easily leverage the corners of the wall by taking out 18% or 17% of royalties and prepaid royalties.
Who knew that there was a mountain higher than the other. Renmin University Press had greater courage and directly praised Lin Han as a top writer. After all, Lin Han has been their publishing house since the first book, and is considered the direct line among the direct line.
After seeing that the email was successfully sent, Lin Han logged into his WeChat account, which was already aged. Since he faced the battle last time, he has never used Weibo again and wrote "Three-Body Problem".
Before he knew it, his Weibo fans had 2.19 million, which probably had no zombie fans. He was considered to have a relatively large number of fans among writers. Of course, he had to exclude some of the big perverts with 10 or 20 million fans.
"The first part of the Three-Body Problem has been completed, with a total of 200,000 words. It is currently being reviewed and proofread by the Renmin University Press. For specific cover design and printing and listing news, please pay attention to Renmin University Press."
Third review and three proofreading are common terms in the publishing industry. The original manuscript of novels is initially reviewed by the editor-in-chief, reviewed by the editor-in-chief or deputy editor-in-chief.
Lin Han's "Three-Body Problem" is naturally unobstructed, and no one has made any revisions or rejected the rewriting. This is just a formality for famous writers.
For new writers, it is like the eighty-one difficulties of Journey to the West to obtain the scriptures. They need to overcome one difficulty after another. Many books were shot in the third trial.
The third school refers to the fact that when the manuscript is distributed in the publication department, the manuscript is first arranged by the Mao program, and then the primary sample is released. After two different proofreaders review the original sample, it returns to the proofreading room for the final school. At that time, the samples produced are basically finished.
These processes do not seem to take time, and what really takes time is the application number and printing.
The key projects of publishers such as "Three-Body Problem" are naturally given the green light all the way from top to bottom. Of course, there may be some uncontrollable accidents, so Lin Han did not say what time it will be launched.
Lin Han's readers were naturally excited and celebrated happily.
"Oh my god, you're so fast. It seems that less than two weeks have passed since you announced the name of the new book."
"Walking a small stool to wait for the listing, I'll urge the editor of the publishing house to work quickly."
"I also took the small whip to the whip publishing house. It would be great if it was launched sooner."
"Thank you for your hard work in Teacher Lin, please continue to work hard and write down the second part."
"Hahaha, the upstairs is so cruel. I've urged the second one before the first one was published, but I like it!"
Lin Han had already left Weibo at this time, and could not see these comments at all. Instead, the editor who runs the official account of the People's Congress Publishing House Weibo was surprised to find that his speed of increasing his fans suddenly accelerated, and the number of comments also increased.
When he found out that these new fans were running from Lin Han, he sent a nose-picking expression and said, "Don't worry, the editors are busy, and new developments will be announced. I heard that the cover of the Three-Body Problem has been drawn, so the editor will go to the Art Department now and like what you want to see."
As a result, the number of likes from this Weibo post exceeded 400 within a few minutes. No one expected that the publisher was so efficient that he actually invited Datou to draw the cover in advance.
Usually, there are only a few or more likes on a Weibo post, but now it has become the most popular Weibo post.
...
In the editorial department of Renmin University Press, Chu Xingli stood up from his desk. He was going to the Arts Department to ask for a compressed cover picture and take a glass of water to drink it.
Just now when I was in front of the water dispenser, I found that all my colleagues around me were gathered together, staring at the monitor, but also discussing them.
"Brother Liu, you are so lucky that you were actually selected for the preliminary review. Lin Han's new book is too bold. The first chapter was written for those ten years. Our editor-in-chief and general manager dared to publish it. He is really courageous."
"The character Ye Wenjie is too unlucky. Her father and sister died tragically, and her mother is still like that. She finally wanted to fall in love, but she took the blame for this man surnamed Bai. If she survives the disaster, she will have good fortune. I guess she is definitely an important person."
"The first three chapters are all Ye Wenjie, and there is no science fiction at all. Could she be the protagonist?"
"Lin Han is too brave. This way of writing is not that hardcore can't continue reading."
"Slow down, Brother Liu, I haven't finished reading it yet, wait for me."
"Don't worry about him, the mouse slides down, and take a look at the contents of the next chapter."
These people are senior editors. They gathered together to look at Lin Han's manuscripts. Their reading speed was very fast, and Liu Xin was almost about to be squeezed out.
Chu Xingli asked in confusion: "Why do you have to squeeze in here to watch together? Why would you better ask Brother Liu to send one to each of you."
The editors looked at each other and found that the collective IQ was rare to go offline, and they all laughed at themselves.
"I have completely forgotten this. Xiao Chu reminded me, Brother Liu, we all depend on you!"
Chu Xingli was of course very curious about the novel that attracted so many editors. He held the water cup, "Brother Liu will send me one, I want to read it too."
Chapter completed!
