The novel doesn’t cost much, come and watch the genuine version on Dian Chinese!
...
"Teacher Wenyuan" is right? No problem. We also contacted "Novel Selection" to reprint it. This way, two magazines invited us, which is really a good thing."
After hearing Lin Han's words, Wang Yifan, as an industry insider, almost bit off his tongue and asked hesitantly: "Fiction Weekly? Are you sure they are willing to reprint a science fiction novel!?"
Lin Han didn't care about Wang Yifan's sudden increase in volume, "Yes, I have signed a contract and I will post it after they finish proofreading the manuscript and will be published soon. I didn't expect that there would be such a day."
Originally, "Science Fiction World" attached great importance to Lin Han and was willing to spend a price of up to 5,000 thousand words to invite him to continue writing, but now Wang Yifan found that the other party had quietly become the first science fiction writer to appear in "Novel Selection" in the past three years. His identity changed too quickly, which was a bit unacceptable.
"Wow, this is really shocking news!" Wang Yifan's surprised mood could not be concealed at all. This is almost the lifetime series.
Lin Han chuckled twice, and he also knew the shock of the news. For several years, science fiction novels have not appeared in mainstream publications such as "Fiction Selection". He is unique, which is of course worthy of pride.
Wang Yifan took a deep breath, "This is big news, not only for you, but also for the entire science fiction, but it is much more powerful than sales."
"It's okay, it's okay. We strive to continue working hard in the future. As long as we write it well, science fiction novels will one day attract mainstream attention. Although niches are niches, they are all speculations about the future and have their own value."
"Well, then you should think about the new book carefully and look forward to the new book being as good as "Rural Teacher". Goodbye."
"Let's talk next time."
After hanging up the phone, Lin Han turned his head and looked at Chen Jiaxuan. She was staring at herself with a smile, "I feel very happy now?"
"It's not bad yet. After you finish this matter, just hand over the manuscript. I think they want to make sales in the last month."
"Okay, okay, I plan to contact their editor directly to see how much you pay attention to this article. I also want him to help introduce a publishing house or something."
The two of them chatted while waiting for the road to clear, and the great time was wasted on traffic jams.
...
At the same time, in the editorial department of "Science Fiction World", Wang Yifan, who received first-hand news, didn't even care much. He directly said to his master Chen Chuhe: "I just called Lin Han and he said that "Rural Teacher" was reprinted by "Selected Novels"!"
"What? You're louder, I didn't hear it clearly."
"I said, "Rural Teacher" is going to be launched in the next issue of "Rural Teacher"!"
The entire editorial department suddenly became silent, and all the editors and other staff members turned their attention to Wang Yifan and Chen Chuhe, wanting to make sure that this was not auditory hallucination.
Frightened by this sudden throat, Chen Chuhe quickly pulled Wang Yifan's arm and asked, "How could it be? Why do I sound so mysterious?"
The editors of the two desks next to them also raised their ears to listen to the inside story.
"Didn't I call Lin Han to make an appointment with me? I want him to post a new novel on the 12th issue of the manuscript. As a result, he told me that "Novel Selection" had signed a contract with him and would be released in the next issue."
Before Chen Chuhe could speak, an editor next to him started talking: "It's true, how long has it been since science fiction novels appeared in "The Selected Novels". Why can he be listed?"
"Can't it be to raise his value and let us raise the price of new books? Use this method to increase his bargaining chips. After we sign the new book contract, we will tell us that we have been copied by the novel selection."
Both editors are old-fashioned, and they all want to go in a complicated direction. You can say a glance and me, and it spread throughout the editorial department.
The rest of the people who were a little far apart also talked about this matter. Their magazine did not receive any news. Normally, they would notify the original magazine.
Just like the education system magazine "Teacher Wenyuan", it also needs to reprint "Rural Teachers", but it first communicated with the editorial department of "Science Fiction World", and then Wang Yifan told Lin Han.
"I don't believe it. How could a magazine with mainstream culture like "Fiction Selection" read this novel? "Rural Teacher" is of good quality, but science fiction has been discriminated against, and this time it was successful?"
"Really? I want to call an acquaintance to see if there is any lie. If it is a lie, it will be bad. Our magazine cannot deal with authors with bad character. This is a matter of principle."
"Anyway, I don't believe it. You can find someone to confirm it. This news is too exciting."
"Yes, it's his first experience in recent years that science fiction has not been published in such an orthodox publication."
"Maybe he has acquaintances in "Selected Novels". Some magazines have now abandoned the character of a literati and can be promoted if you have money."
"Maybe he is a member of the Writers Association. This is a magazine under the Chinese Writers Association, so he should give him some face."
"If all 10,000 or 20,000 members of the Writers Association want to give face, can "Novel Selection" be managed? I think it is because of the high quality of the novel, especially the description of reality, which is deeply rooted in the bone marrow, allowing people to see a glimmer of hope in despair."
These editors are well aware of the status of "Selected Novels" in the industry, and that is not something that ordinary people can go on. Even many traditional writers may not be able to appear on the stage of this magazine.
Wang Yifan didn't expect that everyone would not believe Lin Han, and some people even started to ask others on QQ or call him. Even Chen Chuhe himself quickly took out his cell phone, found a friend's phone in the address book, and sent a text message.
"Master, don't you believe in Teacher Lin either?"
Chen Chuhe glanced at the intern and started to educate him and said, "Of course I believe him, but I have to verify this kind of thing, give evidence to directly shut up those people."
Most editors in the same industry know each other, so the editors of "Science Fiction World" are asking one by one to see if it is true.
"Damn, my friend just replied, saying it was true, it was submitted by a new editor, but it was actually adopted."
"This is really a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers. Only newcomers dare to promote science fiction novels, but he even gave it to him."
"After all, this is just Lin Han's luck. If he can meet such a bold new editor in other science fiction novels, he will definitely be able to go there."
"I heard that the new editor was a relationship householder. The editor-in-chief of "Selected Novels" was embarrassed to refuse, so he agreed, basically because he passed it for the sake of the editor."
"I was so surprised. No matter how I made it, it was all big news. The mainstream finally doesn't reject our science fiction novels so much."
Perhaps the impact of "Rural Teacher" is about to appear in mainstream magazines is even greater than Lin Han imagined. He never thought that the entire editorial department would be excited because of this. Although these people expressed an incredible attitude, they finally like science fiction in their hearts.
Therefore, after some doubts, some people began to celebrate. This was a rare progress. Finally, they took such a critical step to attract more people to pay attention to science fiction novels and expand their readers.
Even Tan Lin, the editor-in-chief of "Science Fiction World", has to admire Lin Han. It is indeed a rare lucky star. It can not only drive magazine sales, but also attract media attention. The most important thing is to drive science fiction to the mainstream path.
He was obviously a newcomer who had just started writing articles, but he didn't even have the skill of writing and his imagination was still very rich. He began to look forward to Lin Han's new book, hoping to help the magazine create new glory.
At this time, Lin Han was following Chen Jiaxuan and walking quickly. Wulong Film and Television Base was like a place where time and space meet. Various buildings stood here. Next to the Qin, Han and Warring States buildings were rough ethnic minority building areas. The buildings from the Ming and Qing dynasties were facing the streets of the Republic of China. People passing through them had different costumes and gathered from the sets of various crews, like a hodgepodge.
At this time, the crew of "Journey to the West" was filming scenes about the Kingdom of Women in the Tang Dynasty-style building here. Lin Han stood from a distance on the side of the set, looking at Yingying and Yanyan with a large number of actresses, and suddenly felt a feeling of witnessing history.
"You wait a moment here. Xiao Su has already gone in to put on makeup. I'll go in and have a look."
Chen Jiaxuan knew that there were many tricks in the crew's locker room, and most newcomers didn't understand it at all, so she had to go to the market by herself to avoid any trouble for the makeup artist or costumer.
Lin Han waved his hand, "You go and do it. I'll just stroll around and see what the crew is doing."
The original owner is an authentic film director, but Lin Han himself is not, so it is more vivid than what he looks like in memory when he is in close contact with the crew.
At this time, someone suddenly slapped his shoulder, and a northern man with thick eyebrows appeared beside him: "Lin Han? Why are you here in our crew? You don't tell me."
"Don't I want to give you a surprise?" Lin Han turned his head and looked at his friend. Wang Hao was a typical northerner, and his big and thick figure looked more like a security guard in the crew than an assistant director. (To be continued.)
