Chapter 334 Humor Regardless of Chinese and Western [Seeking Monthly Pass]

The paper-based magazine "Fantasy Age" has been out of stock for several days. Many retail and bookstores have a large group of people coming to ask about it every day, but they always have no responses or wait for another two days.

A small number of readers who really couldn't help but have to buy the electronic version of this magazine online. The electronic version of "Fantasy Age" is priced at 1.5 yuan. If you order 12 issues per year, you will get a 10% discount.

The sales of the electronic version of "Fantasy Age", which had never appeared on the sales rankings, soared sharply, and it rushed straight into the sky like a rocket!

In the first week of March, the weekly sales list and the monthly sales list coincided with each other. The rest of the magazines can be purchased offline, and only "Fantasy Age" was out of stock, so it unexpectedly ranks first in the sales list and left the one behind with sales of nearly 100,000.

Unlike the popular electronic version sales, paper sales have completely stagnated because the printed magazines have not been sent out yet. The printing factories that cooperate with the magazines are not too large in size and have limited shipments, which seriously restricts the growth of sales.

Fortunately, when Tan Lin saw that the situation was not good, he urgently contacted another manufacturer to help share the pressure. After several days of continuous supply, it began to reappear in the streets and alleys across the country.

Lin Han was walking on the street. He was now going to discuss with others about the World Science Fiction Conference. Last year, he won the Hugo Award at the conference and also took back the right to host this year's conference to Yanjing City.

It was already March, and June was very close, and there was very little time left for the organizer. Lin Han is now equivalent to a consultant and a special image spokesperson.

Guokr.com organized and co-organized by Yanjing Municipal Party Committee. He just forgot to be on the side, but he had enough confidence in the domestic hosting level. When holding such a large-scale celebration or meeting, the Chinese people have never been disappointed.

Just passed by the newspaper booth on the roadside, Lin Han originally planned to buy a chewing gum, but unexpectedly he met someone here to buy books.

The business person wearing a windbreaker and carrying a briefcase stopped in a hurry. The man said in fluent Mandarin: "Boss, has your "Fantasy Age" arrived? This is my third time asking."

The boss calmly pulled out one from the pile of books. He smiled and said, "It's here. This is what I just delivered this morning. The twenty books I delivered yesterday have been sold out long ago."

At this time, Lin Han also became interested, "Boss, please give me a copy of this, how is the above book "The Wandering Guide to the Galaxy"?"

"It looks good. I think it's a bit like stand-up comedy, very interesting. The last few books I sent today are left, and no matter how the dealer urges you, it won't be available." The boss couldn't help but praise him, "To be honest, I haven't read it before, but I heard that it's really, very good, so I just read it. As a result, I have to leave one for myself every issue, and one for my son and nephew."

"Is that so? Then I have to take a good look."

After Lin Han paid the money readily, he walked away with the book. The book was popular but not popular. He had heard that there were many people with the author Lin Han, but not many people could recognize him on the road.

Even though the other two people at the newspaper booth were looking at Lin Han, no one saw that the young man who came to buy chewing gum and magazines was the author!

The most important thing is the first line of readers. The book "The Wandering Guide to the Galaxy" in my previous life was translated from English. It has never been popular for various reasons. It may be because of cultural differences.

After Lin Han’s drastic adaptation, it is full of Chinese local characteristics, so it is very quickly accepted. After reading without any obstacles, it can naturally spread very quickly!

According to the navigation, Yao Lingfeng, general manager of Guokook.com, was talking to the people next to him. After seeing Lin Han strode towards him, he walked over with familiarity, "We finally met again, Teacher Lin."

"Mr. Yao looks very happy, and the preparations must be going very smoothly."

After Lin Han shook hands with him, he looked around. There were not many staff members here, and they were all busy confirming something on the computer, and then they kept making phone calls.

Yao Lingfeng nodded, "It's basically decided at the moment, but I'm not sure how many people can come here. No one can say this accurately."

The organization of the World Science Fiction Conference is very dispersed. In addition to many members coming to Yanjing, some science fiction enthusiasts will also follow. How to estimate these numbers is a difficult problem.

"This is the first time that this kind of world-wide science fiction conference is held in China. Domestic science fiction fans will definitely not miss this event. If you promote it carefully, it may have miraculous results."

Lin Han himself regrets that he did not go to the scene of the science fiction conference in his previous life. This June he can have some fun in his country.

"Of course, we will definitely not miss this opportunity. By the way, your new book is very good. I didn't expect that this kind of science fiction full of Chinese humor will also sell well abroad. It is said that the sales are very good, right?"

The English version of "The Wandering Guide to the Galaxy" published in Nature magazine has also been fully launched worldwide, both in London, Paris, East, Tokyo, and New York.

Such a work from a Chinese science fiction master has been preheated. Originally, Nature magazine can have millions of each issue around the world, and the number of readers is even more than tens of millions.

One quarter of each issue of the magazine is conducted to libraries and research institutions, while the rest is conducted to individuals, most of whom are active researchers.

Before sales, each issue of Nature magazine will release press releases to more than a thousand international press contacts to ensure that the authors of the magazine will receive the attention of the world's most important newspapers, magazines, radio and television news media!

"I have also been worried about this issue, but in fact, readers have a strong ability to accept it. Whether it is Chinese humor, British humor, or American humor, there is actually only one kind of humor on the whole earth. All funny humors are similar. Only those not funny humors have time to care about the difference in the degree of coldness between each other. This book is full of funny humors, so it is not difficult to understand."

Lin Han said with emotion that he felt that the humor in "The Wandering Guide to the Galaxy" should be universal worldwide, and he prefers to use exaggerated and absurd methods to interpret ironic humor.
