Chapter 391 Literary Wizards
Speaking of which, because Lin Han has never liked the media very much, he has not many opportunities to appear in magazines. Even some online media have to work hard to interview.
No one can reject Times. Even Lin Han had to be excited about it. This almost represents an external signal. Even the Nobel Prize winner in Literature may not be able to appear on Times, let alone the cover of the international version!
Now Times International Edition is published in New York by Time Warner. The purpose of this publication is to allow busy people to fully understand the world's major events.
There are a variety of columns in Time magazine, such as economy, education, law, criticism, sports, religion, medicine, art, characters, book reviews and readers' letters.
It uses a lot of pictures and charts, and is the first magazine in the United States to report current affairs in narratives. It breaks the newspapers and broadcasts the monopoly of news, and especially its news arrangements have been imitated by news magazines at home and abroad.
The readers of Time magazine are mainly middle class and intellectual class. The magazine has a group of smart and capable writers and reporters, as well as a huge team of researchers, covering the whole world!
As a popular magazine, the circulation volume of different versions of Time magazine combined with more than tens of millions of levels, making it the most influential magazine in the world!
Not to mention the annual selection of 100 people influencing the world and the annual selection of storms held by Time magazine, these are the focus of public attention, and each time it makes the rest of the media go crazy.
Some language experts even pointed out that to learn American English well, reading Times Magazine is a shortcut.
The influence of the magazine can be seen!
"Did they say when did they come?"
Lin Han was very concerned about this issue. When he thought of himself on the cover of Time magazine, he seemed to have healed his camera phobia in an instant.
Chen Jiaxuan shook her phone, "I'll come this week, maybe tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. It is said that she has purchased the air ticket. They should really value you, otherwise they wouldn't have decided so quickly to let you serve as the cover character!"
"I feel the same way. Maybe I have considered me before. The Nebula Award has increased my bargaining chips. I really don't know what I will interview me, so I'm a little nervous." Lin Han rubbed his hands. He really didn't think he had any touching things to talk about.
Chen Jiaxuan rolled her eyes, and she said angrily: "Anyway, if you have something to say, the writers of Time magazine are all very good. They must have found the direction, otherwise they would not have discovered you. You are a writer. Is it that difficult to polish your story a little?"
"This is not a good story in China, it's better to be more real." Lin Han moved his shoulders and continued: "Before the reporters have not come, I will continue to translate the English version of Inception. Maybe when the time magazine was released, the foundation was laid globally!"
He obviously won the Nebula Award, but Lin Han was not inflated at all. This is almost no different from before he won the award, except that he can look better in his resume.
In fact, Lin Han has never doubted whether he can win the Hugo Award and the Nebula Award. He has so many science fiction masterpieces on Earth. Even if he can't get it this year, he will definitely have a chance next year and the next year!
As long as he keeps writing excellent works, if the judges really don’t give the award to themselves, they will probably be drowned by the readers’ bubble stars, and the credibility of the award will be greatly affected.
The Nebula Award is of great significance. It can be said that it will be a one-step success for ordinary writers. You can rely on this award to brag about in the next few decades, and you can also bargain with the publishing house to sign a new contract.
But for super best-selling writers, this award is used to improve themselves. The contracts they signed with publishing houses or publishing groups have reached the top level in the industry. The icing on the cake of this award is more effective than reality!
There are so many domestic media outside reporting about Lin Han, and Chen Jiaxuan rejected batch after batch. She said to Lin Han: "Go and write books quickly. I'm afraid that I can't help but push you out for an interview."
In order to make Chen Jiaxuan accept her request, the media even gave Lin Han an interview an interview opportunity to give the artists in her studio a chance to interview, from Southern characters to weekend pictorials, from Zhizu to Ruili, and even Sanlian Life Weekly, New Weekly, City Pictorial, IST View the World, etc.!
These magazines are extremely leading in the industry and are very useful for people in the entertainment industry to create a sense of style. To cooperate with those magazines to publish a series of press releases, you can at least become popular.
Fortunately, Chen Jiaxuan is not the kind of person who has no vision. She doesn’t have many agency contracts now, and she subconsciously assigns her work to her employees. She rarely leads celebrity artists herself. Now only Lin Han is directly under her control in the true sense.
Lin Han stood up, kissed her cheek, and said with a smile: "Do you want to come to the study room to read books with me or something?"
"Will I disturb you?" Chen Jiaxuan's eyes lit up. She also wanted to be with Lin Han, even if she was doing serious business.
"No, maybe I'll count on you to relax after writing for a while."
Chen Jiaxuan happily took out the romance novel she bought. She sat on the lounge chair in the study and looked at Lin Han who was facing the computer screen not far away, and smiled with satisfaction.
Although this is not a red sleeve, Lin Han is already satisfied. When he looks up, he can see his girlfriend reading the novel intently.
Under the stimulation of the beauty, inspiration poured out like a fountain, and Lin Han translated one sentence in Chinese into appropriate English with a crackling sound.
The foundation of this story was originally from Hollywood, and it is not difficult to translate now. The main reason is that the number of words of 100,000 needs to be carefully translated.
After translating a paragraph, you have to check whether there are any misspellings or inconsistencies. This is not a difficult task, it is mainly a bit time-consuming!
Time flies, and Lin Han's fans are still immersed in the joy of their idol winning the Nebula Award. They have never noticed that Lin Han has not bubbling for several days. However, the amount of media exposure in recent times has made them unable to feel it.
Because of Lin Han's success, his family background and education level have also been turned to the bottom. There are even many people who claim to be his classmates, friends, neighbors, and relatives on Zhihu, Weibo, and Tianya Forum!
These are almost the norm. Most of them are adulterated, and only a small number of them are real. It depends on whether netizens can tell them.
Lin Han has always been very secretive about the original owner's family. He could only stay alone in Yanjing for the Spring Festival during the Spring Festival. This was not because he deliberately avoided it, he was really homeless!
When the original owner was in college, his family died in a car accident on the Shanghai-Chengdu Expressway, leaving only a mortgaged property in Shancheng. However, the original owner of the student was not able to provide housing, so he could only sell it as a second-hand house and use it as his own tuition. It is very expensive to go to an art school, especially in the director department!
But Lin Han never used the original owner's identity as a tool for publicity or gaining sympathy. He just kept a low profile silently and never said it in public. He has always used the real content of his novels to win readers.
So after the powerful reporters discovered Lin Han's life experience, those hard-core Hanlin Academy fans knew about this past. Other writers and celebrities wished that the whole world knew about it, and only Lin Han would be kept tightly.
In fact, these reports did not hurt Lin Han any more. He just felt sorry for the original owner.
Yanjing was in full swing at the end of June. After parking outside a hemispherical building, Lin Han and Chen Jiaxuan came to the Yanjing Science and Technology Museum. They will meet with the reporter team of Times International Edition, accept interviews, and shoot the cover with Future Technology as the background!
This was the eve of the final exam for primary and secondary school students, so there were not many people in the Science and Technology Museum. The huge dinosaur specimens were coming to me. The towering skeleton was very attractive. Lin Han couldn't help but think of his Jurassic Park, and even the wonderful night in the museum.
At this time, Lin Han and the other two did not care about visiting the rest of the other science and technology museums, and quickly walked towards the rest area in front. At this time, a few blonde and blue-eyed foreigners were already sitting there waiting!
The international version of Time magazine is the most important version. The other European version, Asian version, South Pacific version and other content are basically directly drawn from the international version, and then some events in this region are added.
"Hi, I'm glad to meet you, the youngest best-selling writer in China. I'm Lucas, the reporter who interviews you this time. First of all, congratulations on you for winning two Nebula Awards. That looks incredible!"
After Lin Han shook hands with everyone here, he smiled and said, "Thank you. Why don't we sit down and chat, Lucas?"
The reporter wearing round-framed glasses looked in his forties. His beard did not make him look tough, but instead was full of elegance, as if he was a typical writer.
If Lin Han and Lucas really want to put together, most people will probably say that Lucas is the world-renowned writer!
Lucas had already done some preparation activities before the interview. He knew that Lin Han's appearance was comparable to those handsome male stars in Hollywood. Now he realized that his reputation was well-deserved after seeing the real person.
"If you're ready, then let's have an interview."
"Of course, no problem!"
