Chapter 424: Notice
Now that the year has passed, what is in front of Lin Han is not the issue of the annual ranking, but who will be the final winner of "Three-Body 2: Dark Forest" or "Inception"!
"Three-Body 2: Dark Forest" has a long-term sales advantage. It has been sold on New Year's Day and has a very good reputation. Recently, it won the Nebula Award and won the Hugo Award nomination, making it more popular, and sales have also risen.
But "Inception" can be read on Lin Han's Weibo, but once it was published, it emerged. It first broke the pre-sale record, and then quickly burst out one chrysanthemum after another on the annual sales list, leaving behind the legend of chrysanthemums full of ass!
Lin Han himself doesn’t know which book to expect to win. They are all things written by themselves, and any book is successful. It’s just that they embody the obsession of their fans. Even Lin Han’s hardcore fans have different preferences, which leads to different identities of supporters.
When he thought of the slow-moving "Resident Evil", he didn't know how this book would perform in terms of reputation and business.
"Fortunately, I didn't use the serialization method, otherwise writing a little bit will easily be affected by the opinions of readers and other professionals. I'll write it honestly and then post a nuclear pop-up. This time I guess there are a lot of people rebel."
Lin Han thought seriously in his heart, and he forgot that he was still having dinner with Chen Jiaxuan, which made Chen Jiaxuan speechless.
Chen Jiaxuan looked at her boyfriend looking at the side of the meal plate and couldn't help but get angry. She took the ice cube on the side and quietly put it on the back of Lin Han's hand!
The cold touch suddenly pulled him back to reality. Lin Han was about to complain, but when he saw Chen Jiaxuan sitting opposite him, he immediately realized his mistake, so he spoke, "My mistake, my mistake, I just wanted to get distracted from the new book."
"You came to bed so late last night, are you just thinking about a new book?" Chen Jiaxuan's anger was pretending, and it naturally dissipated fast enough at this time.
Lin Han shook his head and said, "Actually, I have written thousands of words this afternoon. This time I am preparing new wine in old bottles, writing about the theme of Doomsday zombies, fully depicting a doomsday wasteland world, explaining the origins and outs of zombies, and establishing a system of my own. In the future, others will write about Doomsday zombies, at least there will be a reference."
Chen Jiaxuan, who is very timid, doesn’t even dare to watch "Saw" and even the funny domestic zombie movies are so scared. Now that I hear about zombies, I start to have goose bumps!
She made up her mind that she would not read this new book in a low voice, so as not to have nightmares like Lin Han at night.
When Chen Jiaxuan thought of this, her eyes glowed, and she asked jokingly: "Last nightmare, you were scared by yourself last night? Hahahaha, I was so laughing to death. The novelist who was scared by what she thought of was so scared that she couldn't sleep. This is so interesting!"
The beauty was also beautiful when she smiled. Lin Han pretended to be angry. He said proudly: "I was afraid of writing books myself, which means that this is a really good book. What I want is this effect. Even I was scared to have nightmares. I guess readers will not be much better in the future."
In fact, "Resident Evil" is horrible. The effect he wants to achieve is to make readers feel the illusion that they are lying in their ears and breathing when they read it!
"You'd better make the document more secret and not put it everywhere at home. I don't want to see the content by chance. Zombies are so disgusting!" Chen Jiaxuan was a little disgusted, "But you must have considered the market's feelings when writing this subject. I won't say much. Write it well to make them look at it with admiration!"
Lin Han touched his chin and he knew that Chen Jiaxuan would support him unconditionally. This was a very wonderful thing and could be trusted wholeheartedly.
"I'm hesitating now when to release a new book trailer. You are the first to know except me."
"Or what if the Hugo Awards were announced?" Chen Jiaxuan would never know what idea she had come up with. She just wanted more people to know that Lin Han was going to publish a new book.
After pondering for a while, Lin Han nodded and agreed!
...
After dinner, the two did not rush home, but wandered around the business district. Chen Jiaxuan helped Lin Han choose tie and leather shoes. He will attend the opening ceremony of the World Science Fiction Conference tomorrow. The customized suit has been hung in the closet at home, and it is just a match.
Although he became a rich man, Lin Han felt that he was still a local bumpkin. He had never heard of those luxury brands. A belt was worth 100,000 yuan, but Chen Jiaxuan was still very picky and looked down upon!
"The main reason is that time is limited. If there is enough time, we should go to the designer to design, rather than buy the finished product directly."
Lin Han still doesn't enjoy it with so much money. He squats in front of the computer and writes all day long. The other writers spend their days wandering around and enjoying the mountains and rivers, and from time to time, borrowing the names of literary discussions to meet two girls.
Each has their own different lifestyles, and Lin Han likes the feeling of constantly spreading the culture on the earth. Now he has food, clothing and girlfriends, but in fact he is easy to satisfy!
The combination of handsome guys and beautiful girls is very pleasing to the eye, and the two of them are not ruthless when spending money, and the salesmen are all happy.
When he returned home with a big bag and a small bag, Lin Han rubbed his feet in an exaggerated manner. He could run more than ten or twenty kilometers in a morning jog or a treadmill, but he felt very tired when shopping.
Chen Jiaxuan took out her spoils. She was using different colors and styles to match Lin Han's suits. "Which tie do you think is better to choose?"
Lin Han's aesthetic seems to be similar, but when he saw the light blue dress that Chen Jiaxuan was about to wear tomorrow, he immediately had an idea in his heart: "I think this blue tie is good, we can barely get a couple outfit."
Her Valentino high-end custom long skirt looks luxurious and noble, and it will definitely be very charming when worn on Chen Jiaxuan. This is originally the style she is best at controlling!
After Lin Han said this, Chen Jiaxuan's girlish heart suddenly became flooded. She couldn't afford to wear couple outfits, and it was also great to match them with the color of the tie. She jumped to Lin Han excitedly and then kissed him: "Who did you learn from, you can actually say love words."
"It's such a happy decision to learn without a teacher. I'll call Mr. Zhao to make him mentally prepared."
After Lin Han waved his hand, he walked towards the balcony on one side. He found Zhao Han, the Renmin University Press, and then called out. This would allow the publisher to prepare in advance and would not panic if he had a sudden attack.
Zhao Han was at home to guide his son in the sixth grade of elementary school math problems. After seeing Lin Han’s name on it, he said to his son: “Xuxu, you do it yourself first. Dad will answer the phone. Your Uncle Lin Han called.”
"Dad, can you help me find Uncle Lin Han to ask for another autograph book? My deskmate also likes Uncle Lin very much. He also said that he would write science fiction novels when he grows up!"
Zhao Han still has this little face. He can make friends with his children at school. What is a signature book? This old face is a sacrifice. He nodded and agreed and said, "Okay, okay, I'll tell Lin Han later that you will go to junior high school in the future. There are also Uncle Lin Han's novels in the textbook."
"Thank you dad!"
Zhao Zhuoxue happily devoted himself to his homework. He was originally quite introverted, but because he always got Lin Han's novels first, he made many friends and became cheerful, which made Zhao Han worry a lot.
"Sorry, I was tutoring my son for homework just now. You call tonight, what must be something?"
Lin Han could hear the joy in Zhao Han's voice. He smiled and said, "A good news and a bad news, which one do you want to listen to?"
"Come on the good news directly, I will use this good news slowly first."
"The good news is that I am writing a new book, which is a long one, but a very large length. It is very likely to be written into a series, at least eight parts."
Zhao Han was so excited that the money that a series of novels could make is several times that of a single novel, and its influence could not be the same. What's more, this is a novel written by Lin Han. How popular the trilogy of "The Three-Body Problem" was, you know how scary these eight novels are about to be born!
Maybe this will hit a new sales high in the Chinese novel series, and another record is waving to him. Zhao Han has almost concluded that this will be another peak for Lin Han, but he was not lost, but calmed down and asked: "What is that bad news?"
Lin Han tapped the railing with his fingers, and he replied with a smile: "The bad news is that this is a doomsday zombie novel, and many of my readers may not buy it. Moreover, eight novels are not finished in one go, but are published at a speed of writing one or two every year!"
"The Doomsday Zombie Flow?" Zhao Han was extremely upset. This was really bad news. This genre has never produced any good novels, and it seems that there is a big gap between those big and tragic and moving science fiction works.
"Can I convince you to give up on this type?"
"cannot."
"Okay, I understand. At about when will you finish the manuscript? I will organize some publicity here and try to guide readers' negative emotions. Perhaps this will become a breakthrough for many people to attack you, and you must prepare your studio."
"The completion time is not certain, and it is only confirmed that the news of the new book will be announced at the Hugo Awards ceremony."
Zhao Han only realized at this time, "Then I must keep the name of your novel confidentiality!"
"You have to wait until then to know that if you don't know, you will lose the possibility of exposure. Anyway, you will know the type. I'm going to Weibo to announce the preview of the new book."
After a while, netizens who were browsing Weibo blogs suddenly saw the long-lost emoticon package sent by Lin Han: "Hello, everyone, I'm sharing a joy with you here. I'm starting to prepare for the new book. The specific name and type of the new book will be announced at the Hugo Awards Ceremony. Please keep your attention!")
Chapter completed!
