Regarding this statement proposed by Zhao Han, Lin Han also knew that a considerable number of readers would definitely be willing to buy it and collect it or read it slowly, but he was really not confident in sales. He obviously had free things to buy, so why did he spend money to buy it?

"Betting, what are you going to bet?"

"Just bet on the sales of Inception in the first month. If the sales of the single month are more than 20,000 copies, I will win. If there are no 20,000 copies, you will win. What do you think?"

Lin Han pulled the seat belt that straddled the chest and abdomen. After hearing Zhao Han's words, he couldn't help laughing: "However, I will win. The sales volume has been sold too much, but I am making money with your publishing house. I think there must be a problem here. You businessmen cannot do a loss-making business."

"You haven't listened to our bet yet. What is the bet? If I win, you can sign a three-year five-book agreement with us. In the three-year period, you will leave anything you write to our publishing house to operate or you will give us the next five books, and you will accept whichever you think you can accept."

"If I win, what are you going to do?"

"If you win, it means that the monthly sales of Inception are less than 20,000 copies. Our publishing house gives in to two additional points on royalties, so how about you get from 25% to 27%?"

Lin Han had signed a cooperation agreement with the NPC Publishing House before, so basically all of his works were distributed from the NPC Publishing House, and he supported the rhythm of the entire publishing house alone!

However, he published books very quickly, and several amazing books were listed every year, so the contract was inadvertently fulfilled. This is a unique money tree in the world. Renmin University Publishing House wanted to completely tie Lin Han to his own chariot.

The best-selling writers of Lin Han’s level can no longer limit them. Even a shabby small publisher will not affect his sales. This is the confidence of a god-level writer!

As far as Zhao Han knows, the agreement signed by his publishing house and Lin Han has been known by other colleagues. Several large publishing houses alone found Lin Han and wanted to poach.

Now he uses this bet to test Lin Han’s tone and see if he wants to continue to cooperate with him.

For Lin Han, the partner of Renmin University Press is still very good. He first gave me a man of kindness. In addition, the royalties given are not low. 25% is already the top level in this industry. The most important thing is that he has never owed royalties!

What writers are most worried about is not that they can’t sell it, but that they can’t get the money after selling it! Many long-standing writers have been owed royalties, and the settlement cycle of royalties is originally as long as six or seven months. If you include the writing time, you may not get the royalties for more than a year.

It would be fine if there was a deposit, but if there was no deposit, the finances would have been tightened for more than a year, and publishers that did not arrears royalties were very popular.

Since they have been working together for so long, Lin Han doesn't mind continuing to cooperate. He said to Zhao Han on the other end of the phone: "It's OK, but I'll declare in advance that I won't announce "Inception" on Weibo. Recently, it's been flooding the screen every day. I'm still thinking about asking Weibo to help merge all serialized Weibo into a book."

Readers have been a little bored by the screen-style updates. After finally getting relaxed, Lin Han plans to let those readers go and let himself take a few days off on Weibo.

"Then it's decided. Are you sure you don't need to delete or modify any content? If you don't need it, we will prepare the content cover and publicity now, so that your sales will last forever this year!"

"I hope this is the case. Next time I have time to sit down and chat, we will be at the cinema soon. Goodbye!"

"See you next time."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Han stretched out and walked out of the car by himself. He held Chen Jiaxuan's hand and said: "Dear, this time the Renmin University Press is determined to let me be with them."

Whether Lin Han wins or loses, he actually makes money. Renmin University Press tried every means to tie Lin Han, but of course Lin Han did not object.

"We have discussed this issue before. We don't need to replace it, not to mention that they want to create a classic science fiction series, which is full of your books. Who knows if we can still call the royalties on time after we switch to other publishing houses."

What Chen Jiaxuan saw was an extremely realistic problem. Lin Han had accumulated too much royalties at Renmin University Press. Even if he had sold his old books for more than a year, he could earn millions of yuan every year, let alone other best-selling books.

At this time, there were a lot of people in the cinema, and many people took advantage of the weekend to watch a movie. The summer season just happened to start again. Hollywood blockbusters are something that movie fans should not miss.

"Wait a little while, I'll buy a bucket of popcorn and coke. You have to prepare these things to watch a movie." Lin Han took his wallet to the counter to buy drinks. Now everyone is buying tickets through mobile phone software when watching movies. The counter business looks particularly deserted.

Chen Jiaxuan took this time to go to the bathroom to clean up. The two of them came in an appropriate manner and had already started to check tickets. This "Starry Team" had a good reputation in the early stage and was hailed as the leader in science fiction films, so they came here to see them.

...

In the dark cinema, Lin Han was leaning on the back of the chair wearing 3D glasses. He gently held Chen Jiaxuan's hand next to him with one hand. The visual effect of the movie looked quite good, making people feel immersive!

"How do you think our "Martian Rescue" compares with this in the second half of the year?" Chen Jiaxuan said softly in his ear, his words full of worry.

This is the first movie Lin Han adapted into a movie. If the box office of "Martian Rescue" fails, it will definitely affect the subsequent movie adaptation process.

Lin Han patted her thighs and comforted her, "These are two different types of science fiction films. Strictly speaking, they are similar special effects and were produced by Hollywood special effects companies. If we look at the story, we may be better."

The trailer for "Martian Rescue" was originally scheduled to be released in mid-June, but because Lin Han was addicted to writing "Inception", he had to postpone it a lot.

Fortunately, Lin Han has finished writing now. After a day off today, he will go to the editing room of Chang'e Film tomorrow to select important elements from the vast shooting materials and final special effects shots of "Marls Rescue".

After the two of them whispered, they focused on the movie being screened on the screen. The audience around them were also very impressed, and no one answered the phone or something!

The 12o-minute movie passed quickly. When the light of the screening room returned to light again, Lin Han took off his glasses. He sighed and said, "It seems that the right person can be found."

They lined up and walked out after the crowd. Because neither side was a superstar or something, they didn't think of disguising or obstructing them, and walked out carelessly.

However, a viewer who was watching the news with his mobile phone suddenly looked up. Passers-by would look at the group of handsome men and beautiful women, but this time he was handed over his name!

The theater that just ended was still a little crowded. Lin Han suddenly saw a young man wearing glasses standing in front of him. He was holding his cell phone and seemed to be comparing with the photo on it, "Are you Teacher Lin?"

"Uh, what did you say?" Lin Han was sloppy. He didn't want to cause any trouble here.

The guy handed the phone to Lin Han, "You are Lin Han who wrote "Inception"? You see the photos exactly the same!"

Several people around him looked at Lin Han. Although he was not an actor or singer, he had a lot of celebrity style at all, so some people directly misunderstood and thought that Lin Han was a little star on the 18th tier.

Since he saw his photos, Lin Han admitted it directly and said, "Yes, it's me. Are you doing anything?"

He was recognized by fans on the road. This experience is also extremely fresh for Lin Han. It is appropriate to be popular among people who are popular in books, but his name is also popular, but his appearance is not popular.

"Teacher Lin, I think your "Inception" is very good, but I'm just confused. What does this ending mean? Can you reveal some news quietly? I promise not to tell others!"

"Everything to be expressed has been written. It doesn't matter whether it is a dream or a reality. Don't worry about these things, it's enough to see them quickly."

However, this fan scratched his ears and the discussion was in full swing, so why didn't it matter? But now he couldn't force Lin Han to say it, "Please, if I can't find the answer, I'll probably have to have insomnia all night tonight."

Lin Han sighed, "The open ending is to let you think for yourself. Any statement makes sense. What do you think is correct is correct."

The popularity of the Internet world has radiated into the real world. Because this guy has a loud voice, several people nearby have heard Lin Han's identity, and now they have stopped and whispered.

"Did you hear it? He is the very powerful science fiction writer on Weibo, who wrote "Inception"."

"No, how could I meet Teacher Lin here? I'm always worried that someone would impersonate him!"

"I'm going, it's really him. Look at the photo of Qiandu just now. It says that Teacher Lin also lives in Yanjing. I'm so lucky today. I'll go find him to sign it. It's better if I can take a photo!"

"Wow, I've read the Three-Body Problem he wrote, it's awesome!"

"His girlfriend is so beautiful. I have watched "Bouquets for Algeron" and I cry for a while. Our little plum is going to adapt this movie, which really makes us angry. Hey, you see, they are all over, let's go to take a photo, go to Weibo and piss Lingling to death, let her release us pigeons!"

However, who would carry paper and pen and paper with you when you watch the movie, so the signature becomes a photo.

Somehow, Lin Han was surrounded by the audience who watched the movie with him. He didn't have much experience with his fans. At this time, Chen Jiaxuan successfully switched from Lin Han's girlfriend to the agent status. She said, "Lin Han is not a superstar. Let's take a group photo together. You all stand together. I will use Lin Han's mobile phone to help take pictures. How about you go to his official website to collect pictures then?"

Lin Han was surrounded by his fans. He smiled at the camera, then ignored the fans' strong desire for knowledge, pulled Chen Jiaxuan and ran away!

After arriving at the parking garage, he even worried that some fans would come here, so he asked Chen Jiaxuan to sit in the passenger seat and almost drove out just to get back early.

"I enjoyed the treatment of a young and handsome idol. Let me interview Mr. Lin. How do you feel?" Chen Jiaxuan rarely saw Lin Han in such a mess. She held a bottle of mineral water as a microphone and joking with a smile.

Lin Han sighed while looking at the road conditions ahead, "There are so many troubles. My face is indeed a bit too silly. Fortunately, it was revealed after watching the movie. If we were to watch the movie, we would be in trouble!"

Chen Jiaxuan didn't want to attract attention in her daily life. She said seriously: "Fortunately, I went to take pictures of you smartly, otherwise I would also show up here. By the way, I'll put the photos on the official website now and let them get the pictures."

"I have an official website?" Lin Han was very surprised, "I thought the Hanlin Academy was my official forum!"

"Your official website is not famous. Now Hanlin Academy is about to become a gathering place for science fiction and science fiction movie enthusiasts. It has higher traffic than many professional communities." Chen Jiaxuan smiled mysteriously, "Do you know anyone contacted the administrator of Hanlin Academy and wanted to advertise on the website?"

"Can our traffic actually attract advertisers? Wouldn't that mean that this forum can be self-sufficient and doesn't have to pay my wallet?"

"Of course, Hollywood science fiction movies are now being released, and the most discussed, and the most professional one is in the Hanlin Academy. Every reader here is the most loyal consumer. The movie "Starry Team" has quoted us, but we haven't discussed whether to become such a non-profit website."

Lin Han doesn't care. This website was just built by chance. If the website is better, his fan base will become wider and the advertising revenue can be used to buy servers or something, so as not to use cards.
