Chapter 436 Global alert, terror strikes!
Chapter 436 Global alert, terror attacks!
After Lin Han finished chatting with Wang Hao, he couldn't suppress his desire to win or lose. It's been a long time since writers and himself fought head-on in sales. Yan Juncheng wanted to reshape his own glory. Is he the kind of person who can be trampled by others?
He took out his cell phone and called Vice President Zhao Han of Renmin University Press, "Mr. Zhao, good news is here. My new book "Resident Evil" has been completed. I will send it to you later. You can determine the time for release and then promote it."
"So quickly? Or you should craft it carefully?"
Zhao Han rarely agreed directly because he could not control the sales of this subject. Zombie novels have never been popular. Even with Lin Han's name, the sales volume is still a mystery.
"I think it's almost done. Don't you need to review the manuscript? It's just right when you review the manuscript, if you have any questions, you can give me feedback. If I think it's appropriate, I will modify it. It's said that bystanders are clear about the authorities and those who are confused, maybe you will have different opinions."
Lin Han also knew what the other party was thinking, but he was unwilling to retreat. This was his momentum. He was declining again and again. If he had no confidence in Yan Juncheng, if other masters or best-selling writers published books, wouldn’t he be defeated step by step?
This is a precedent, even if "Resident Evil" is not his best work!
Zhao Han had no choice but to say anything else. He just made up his mind that he must be more strict when reviewing the manuscript. He cannot relax the standards just because it is Lin Han. This time, "Resident Evil" cannot be missed.
Once there is something unsatisfactory in sales, the opponents who have been waiting for a long time will seize the opportunity. Zhao Han doesn’t want to send such an opportunity out, and it must be eliminated from the source!
"Okay, now I will start reading the manuscript. If there is anything that needs to be modified, I will send you a WeChat message."
"Yes, my phone is turned on for a long time."
...
After hanging up the phone, Zhao Han sorted out his clothes. He was originally at the drinks party, but for Lin Han's new book, he had to leave quietly and couldn't enjoy it.
Now that the drunk driving is strictly checked, Zhao Han, who is covered in alcohol, can only find a designated driver to send him back to the community. He took the elevator home after carefully waking up in the night wind!
"Dad, why are you drinking again?"
"It's all about social engagements. Have you finished your homework?" Zhao Han was still very concerned about his baby son.
This little carrot head was just naughty. He jumped onto the sofa and jumped, and said with a smile: "It's summer vacation now. I'll do my homework tomorrow and go to the swimming pool in the afternoon! How about my father playing games with me? I can't get through this level."
"Dad now has to review the new book for Uncle Lin Han. How about you play for yourself?"
Zhao Zhuoxi is a small fan of Lin Han. After hearing about Lin Han’s new book, he immediately put the enthusiasm of the game aside, "I want to read it too, I want to read it too, okay~"
While he said, he grabbed Zhao Han's hand and shook it hard and acted coquettishly. He could see Lin Han's novels as soon as possible. He would definitely show off to his friends when he went out!
"You can read it, but we have to make three rules. You can't tell others the content, nor invite others to see this thing. At the same time, you have to sleep well at 10 o'clock in the evening and you can't peek inside the bed. Uncle Lin's book has not been published yet, so it needs to be kept confidential now."
Zhao Zhuoxi saluted a military salute as if he was a decent person, and he said, "As for orders, sir!"
After Zhao Han talked to his son Zhao Zhuoxi for a while, he went to the bathroom to wash his face carefully, then took his own to the computer, and imported the manuscript sent by Lin Han. This thing does not hurt his eyes and can be shown to the children, but he himself took his wife's for use.
So when Liu Anya finished washing her clothes and walked out, she found that the two men on the sofa were each holding one and watching it in a sensation. Her posture and expression were almost the same, and she deserved to be the two men!
"Hey, you can sit in the study for me when you read books. Zhao Han, set a good example for your son, otherwise he will easily develop hunchbacks or myopia!" After Liu Anya rushed them to the study, she followed her in, poured them a glass of fresh juice for them before going out to watch TV.
At this time, Zhao Han was completely immersed in the world of "Resident Evil". It turned out that the T-virus was obtained. Fortunately, it happened in the raccoon city in the United States. If it was densely populated in China, the infection might spread soon!
Originally, he still had time to think about where the science fiction part was, but as the plot progressed step by step, his head was completely occupied. The rendering of the horror atmosphere made him feel like he was in the scene. The strange zombies were a little creepy. What surprised him the most was Lin Han's layout ability. One puzzle after another was placed in the novel. A seemingly inconspicuous description became the key point in the subsequent puzzle solving!
No part can be missed. If you miss the details, you may become confused when you understand the puzzle. He often has to go back and take a look and think about it repeatedly. This suspense writing ability is amazing!
The plot has been ups and downs, and the cooperation of several protagonists is quite tacit. This zombie villa also reveals its true face bit by bit, with a strong sense of immersion, as if he is also a member of the Alpha Squad!
At this time, Zhao Zhuoxi threw it away and ran to Zhao Han. The primary school student said with a deer-like look: "Dad, I'm a little scared. Is that zombie really that disgusting?"
It was not until this time that Zhao Han realized that he had actually read such a terrifying novel for his son. He quickly comforted him and said, "Don't be afraid, it's all fake, it's all made by Lin Han. Don't read it first, this book is not suitable for people of your age."
Although there is no novel rating system on the market, it is basically a convention. Children are not suitable for watching these. Zhao Han himself does not know that the atmosphere of "Resident Evil" is so powerful. There are only zombies, but the picture feels very strong, and even the heart-warming music can be played in his head.
Zhao Zhuoxi is a brave child, but this book is really beyond his acceptance. I guess he has a slight resistance to Lin Han's novels now!
Zhao Han decided to let his son watch the cartoon to purify his mind so that he would not see zombies appearing in his head at all times.
Liu Anya looked at Zhao Han with a reproachful look, but she didn't get angry in front of the child. She didn't want the child to have nightmares!
Zhao Han was very surprised when he returned to the study. He was obviously here to pick on the trick, but Lin Han could not stop at all. He just wanted to know the plot later, and how Chris and Jill survived and escaped in this crisis-ridden villa.
"This book will definitely become popular! Lin Han is really surprising!"
He slapped the table suddenly. This type of novel has a wide audience. Before Lin Han started writing science fiction novels, horror and suspense have always been the biggest publishing and sales, and the sales volume is higher than that of science fiction novels. Many radio stations even opened such sections in the middle of the night to tell stories.
As long as you promote it carefully, you can keep Lin Han’s original readers and absorb new readers who prefer horror and suspense novels. Why worry about the sales being high?
Thinking of this, Zhao Han couldn't help but feel ashamed. He had worked with Lin Han for so long, but he didn't choose to believe him when he encountered some challenges. "Resident Evil" is indeed a good book!
This time, when the biochemical craze is rolling up, perhaps other novels of the same type will appear on the market. This is probably the most suitable one among all Lin Han’s novels. The previous science fiction novels were too imaginative, making it impossible for the authors who want to write novels of the same type to start writing.
In this world, the definition and punishment for plagiarism are quite strict. At most, the authors are learning from their creativity and following the trend. If they really want to plagiarize, the end will be miserable. There will never be a publisher willing to contact him in this life!
Zhao Han didn't rest much and read the novel almost halfway through one breath, but it was already early in the morning. When he returned to his bed and was about to go to bed, he suddenly found Zhao Zhuoxi standing in the living room with a pillow in his arms.
"Dad, I can't sleep. I always feel that there are zombies in the room wanting to bite me." He cried with a sad face. He was obviously sleepy, but he couldn't sleep due to fear. "Can I sleep with you?"
After he was three years old, he moved to his room. Zhao Zhuoxi was already used to sleeping alone, but after watching "Resident Evil", he became scared and did not dare to stay alone.
Zhao Han touched his son's hair and said softly: "Of course it's OK, but you are a man, don't be afraid of zombies. You can see that the bad guys in the cartoon will be destroyed by good people."
...
Lin Han didn't even know that his novel scared a child to sleep. This was not his original intention. In fact, the target readers are from teenagers to middle-aged and elderly people. There are not many readers with children like Zhao Zhuoxi.
Teenagers are the most courageous and like to stimulate things the most. The more they don’t let them watch, the more likely they will arouse their curiosity. Therefore, Zhao Han focused on these teenagers, seeking breakthroughs from them, and making "Resident Evil" a trend among teenagers. If you don’t watch it, you will be out of date!
Obviously, there is nothing to modify Lin Han's book, and Zhao Han can only start preparing for the listing of the novel, from proofreading to illustrations, and then to cover drawings.
The most important point is to announce the sales time to the public, giving readers and their opponents eyeing each other, "10 days later, Resident Evil, global alertness, terror is coming!"
