Chapter 290 Conquer the world

Creating a movie has never been an easy task. It may take one or two years from the announcement of the project to the official release of many movies. The carefully crafted movies are more detailed and exquisite.

This time, Lin Han wanted to take over the power, but he didn't want to experience the frustrating experience of "Breaking Out of the Solar System". He wanted to do his best in all aspects. Therefore, the release of the English version of "Three-Body Problem" is very important to him.

Promote the novel to a global scale and expand its popularity as much as possible so that it can be expanded from China when the movie is released. This is the time to lay the foundation and then harvest it later.

A novel can be lent to three people, and five people will know the name of the book at the same time. These people are potential consumers. They know the name of the novel, and when the movie is released in the future, the memory will emerge.

When you go to the cinema to choose which movie to watch, of course, familiar movie names are more likely to be selected. There is a huge group of book fans to provide a foundation, and it is much easier to find foreign publishers to cooperate.

Now seeing overseas readers accepting the Three-Body Problem, Lin Han felt relieved, and he had also changed his background to Chinese background by him.

This proves that the background in the novel is actually not an inevitable condition for success. How to tell a good story is the key. After this attempt was successful, Lin Han planned to adopt a similar operation mode later.

Learning is endless. After submitting the manuscript of the two books, Lin Han has become a waste. His daily work is to watch movies and pass the analyzed things to his tutor when he was in school, and give a separate training.

My spare time is to go out for fitness and shoot archery. During this period, the courier has been sending him online shopping books for a lot of time. After a while, I fully know that the science fiction master Lin Han lives here!

The bookshelf in the study are enriched day by day, and books from all aspects allow Lin Han to better understand the world and the works of other writers. He constantly absorbs water like a sponge.

...

As time goes by, the sales results of "Three-Body Problem" overseas were counted for the first time. The global sales in the first week totaled 890,000 copies, including 520,000 copies in North America. This number seems a bit miserable at first glance.

But in fact, because of its early release, the Three-Body Problem was not released on Monday, but on Friday, which means that its first week of sales was actually only the first three days of sales.

Many people who were waiting for Lin Han to lose can only sigh and wait for his next novel.

Every book is successful, which makes many people who envy Lin Han unable to help but admire it. It is not uncommon for a book to become popular, but it is rare that it can continue to maintain it and even make continuous progress.

Therefore, more and more people are studying the writing, framework and story structure of science fiction novels such as Lin Han, and various analytical interviews on the Internet are coming one after another, and they also want to learn it.

However, these are not routine writings, they belong to the crystallization of wisdom of different writers. It is not easy for them to find out a result.

Lin Han sat in front of the computer and turned off the analytical posts. He landed on Amazon to check the sales of his novels. But after just entering the Chinese version, he saw the cover of the English version of the novel "Three-Body Problem" on the homepage recommendation.

He clicked on this and found that the sales of the English version of "Three-Body Problem" in China are also very good. Most readers bought it for the cover. Compared with the style of this science fiction blockbuster, the Chinese version of "Three-Body Problem" is like a product of a small rural workshop.

In addition, it is very difficult for many foreign staff in China to understand Chinese, so they couldn't wait to buy it as soon as the English version was released.

The world is a village, and there are many foreigners who come to work in China. These people have a high level of education and quickly accept science fiction novels. They even recommend "The Three-Body Problem" to their friends in their country, which plays the role of tap water.

Most domestic readers who purchased the English version of "Three-Body Problem" have already read the novel. Their evaluations of "Three-Body Problem" are almost the same. Lin Han switched Amazon to the international version. He wanted to see the evaluations of readers on foreign websites. The evaluations of these book buyers are probably the most intuitive.

Thomas Dylan, a reader from the United States, gave a five-star review and wrote: "I skipped the shift for 36 hours just to finish the book in one go, and really didn't want to let go! Through this different cultural story that is obviously different from my Western background, it shows the driving force for the survival of the human race from a fascinating perspective. I did not expect that this game will have anything similar to British and American science fiction. It did not disappoint me, and I especially like it!"

Another reader, Bob, wrote a review of more than 2,000 words, titled "The Salute of the Top Science Fiction Series". This review was praised by more than 100 readers, all of whom believed that Bob wrote very well.

He wrote in the book review: "First of all, this book "The Three-Body Problem" does not read like a translation. Although it is not a translation by Lin Han himself, Liu Yukun's translation gives people a seamless prose feeling. The large number of footnotes throughout the text helped me understand the background of the Chinese culture, great revolution, and the useful knowledge of mathematics and physics in the 1960s and 1970s.

The political science setting of the storyline reminds me of Gregory Benford's novel "Scenes of Time". This is a very hardcore traditional science fiction novel with an unforgettable background setting.

Please note that this book is the first of Lin Han’s original trilogy. My heart has been hooked. I try to avoid too many spoiler comments to avoid affecting the fun of reading this book.

Although I have never read the author's work before, now I can understand why he has become one of the best-selling authors in China, I believe the series will expand his readership."

Louis Valier, the reader from France, also gave a five-star title. "This is a science fiction novel that is deeply rooted in physics, and is one of the best science fiction novels I have ever read. The background is deeply based on physics, making it very attractive. The author has very good edited the real plot into his novel. If you like physics, this book must be read!"

"Wang and Ye's mission are portrayed very well. Wang grew up before the imminent disaster. Ye is a woman who is hidden. My favorite character is Da History. Unlike scientists, he is a pragmatic but not bound by theory. His insight is one of the highlights of this book. I highly recommend this book, which is the first of the trilogy, and the other two have not been published yet. If you love excellent science fiction novels, you will fall in love with this book." Giuseppe Garibaldi did not stingy with his praise. Italians are not only romantic, but also like science.

Spanish Garcia Lopez said that the book is 100% spectacular and fascinating. "As a veteran fan of science fiction novels, I am very curious about the difference between this best-selling Chinese novel and the best-selling American novel. The result is no different! Although it is a thorough Chinese novel, both rich historical annotations and language habits are Chinese. I am especially grateful to the translator for his hard work and maintaining the Chinese literary peak of this book, but it can make Americans understand it enough."

The lowest rating given by these readers is four stars, most of which are five stars, and there are many readers all over the world, proving that "The Three-Body Problem" has indeed conquered readers around the world.

Even in the field of professionals, the performance of "Three-Body Problem" is amazing enough.

Mike Resnick, a science fiction writer who has won the Hugo Award for eight times, wrote on his Facebook: "The Three-Body Problem deserves any praise. It is an extraordinary novel, and the natural and smooth translation of Liu Yukun is the same. In the past few books were translated by Lin Han himself, but this time he was busy writing the last two of the Three-Body Problem trilogy by himself. Although he did not translate it himself, it was still very good!"

Canadian Chinese science fiction writer David Lee is also the winner of the Canadian National Science Fiction Award. With a Chinese background, he can naturally understand the content of the novel more than others. "The Three-Body Problem is the first time for North American readers: it is such a science fiction that deeply explores the hearts of the most chaotic and chaotic times in the history of China's Communist Party. Lin Han shows us a rare iron curtain in the 1960s and related mysterious conspiracies that influenced the world today. As a result, every answer in this story creates more suspense."

Levin Bryan mentioned "The Three-Body Problem" in an answer to a reporter's question. He was one of Nasa's consultants. "Violent, imaginative and based on cutting-edge science, "The Three-Body Problem" thinks about many major issues in our era. Lin Han stood at the pinnacle of speculative and contemplative novels in any language."

There are so many praises, so it is rare to see such an impactful new book in the field of science fiction literature in the world.

Many readers who have chewed machine translation were shocked at this time. Even though they knew the general plot trend, the words translated into English were also extremely moving. The world needs such science fiction novels!

************************************************

Nine thousand words were given in the third update, and many book friends reported that the pace of this book was too slow. In fact, the author Jun wanted to fully tap the influence of each work. If he kept writing new works, it would be fine at all, but this would lack the influence of fermentation and many novels would be buried.

Moreover, it is probably not realistic to publish a new book every month. Although this is a fantasy novel, the author Jun still wants to have a little realism. Don’t write one book this month and sell it again next month. The publishing process will be nearly one month, let alone sell it.
