Since the title and genre were announced, it has become mysterious again. The most profound impression left by "Resident Evil" is the moving poster. Many people have saved this picture. Lifelike zombies will always scare a group of people.

After waiting for the flowers, Renmin University Press has finally uncovered the puzzle and officially announced the release time of the novel, which can make fans quench their thirst!

"It will take ten days. I am really counting my fingers and waiting. Teacher Lin's ability to suck people's appetite is getting stronger and stronger!"

"Who said no? He has been looking forward to it since he said he wanted to publish a new book. He still has to wait now. I really hope that I can open a super member for me to read in advance."

"When other writers send new books, they will send them to book critics and critics in advance to get a good reputation before publishing the book. But I found that Teacher Lin never did this before. Every time, those book critics get books the same time as us!"

"This is just treating everyone equally, Teacher Lin is great~"

"Because Teacher Lin doesn't need this false and prosperous reputation. Look at which work was not hyped before it was launched. It's hard to find a bad review. But after it was launched, it's garbage or garbage. Anyway, we've already cheated our money. I'm willing to pay Teacher Lin's wallet!"

"Big series, big series, I don't know if I can read the entire content in my lifetime, although I'm a little scared."

"Global alert, terror is coming... Teacher Lin is writing this science fiction novel as something. Why do I have a bad premonition?"

Netizens finally got this information, so they naturally had to discuss it, but the slogan really discouraged some timid people, and not everyone can appreciate this style.

In fact, there are also differences in the views of "Resident Evil" within the Hanlin Academy. No book can satisfy every reader. Fans are almost a fan of the forum that is hard to make!

This difference is also reflected in the pre-sale results. Lin Han's previous novel "Inception" had a pre-sale volume of more than one million copies, but on the first day of "Resident Evil"'s pre-sale, this number does not seem to be very beautiful.

Even with many die-hard fans, the pre-sale figure on the first day only changed from zero to 85,000 copies, but it failed to exceed 100,000!

Not to mention "Inception", even the first day of pre-sale of "The Galactic Wandering Guide" was more than 100,000 yuan. "Bouquet for Algeron" was released suddenly, so there was no pre-sale period.

This has become Lin Han’s lowest pre-sale novel this year, which seems to confirm the speculation of media and commentators. "Resident Evil" may become the beginning of Lin Han’s defeat in Waterloo!

In fact, the pre-sale volume of 85,000 copies is only a small number for Lin Han, and it is still an astronomical number for the rest of the people. Many people's pre-sale of a book is just this number.

In the next time, the sales forecasting agency has lowered the pre-sale target of "Resident Evil" of 800,000 to 500,000 copies, and is not optimistic about this novel!

After the pre-sale results on the first day were released, there were so many happy and sad companies, and all kinds of life were revealed here.

After hearing the news, Yan Juncheng, Lin Han’s number one competitor, burst into laughter at home. It was his luck to meet Lin Han in a downward period. Originally, he was only 50% sure that he seemed to have risen to 70%!

Yan Juncheng's publishing house and readers were relieved. At least Lin Han's good luck will be used up at this time, maybe it will be the time for them to announce their return!

Previously, Wen Rui'an's "Four Famous Captains" failed to step down Lin Han. Now Yan Juncheng has the opportunity to avenge the martial arts novels in "The Sword of Love". Many martial arts fans can't help but raise their tails.

In addition, those writers who were afraid that Lin Han would sweep all over the world all regretted it. If they had known that Lin Han’s new book was not good, why would they change the schedule if they were waiting for them!

As for the Renmin University Press, it was as impatient as an ant on a hot pan, as if the sky had fallen!

...

Zhao Han sat in his office. All Lin Han's novels were created by him. He had already read "Resident Evil". It was obviously an extremely good action adventure novel, but the pre-sale results were so unsatisfactory, which was not right!

Perhaps this is not orthodox science fiction, it can only be said that it has some science fiction elements. Lin Han’s fans were unable to support it. At the same time, there were not many doubts on the Internet, which shows that most readers are actually waiting and watching, wanting to decide whether to buy or not after the novel is launched.

He suddenly patted his forehead in annoyance. Everyone who has watched "Resident Evil" knows the excellence of it, but it is impossible for consumers who participated in the pre-sale to see it, which leads to information asymmetry!

"Mr. Zhao, the pre-sale on the first day was only 85,000, and today it may drop directly to below 50,000. If you let this decline again, there will definitely be no pre-sale of 500,000 in the end." Zhong Daoyi said worriedly, and the data in his hands looked very unoptimistic.

Zhao Han said, "Of course you can't sit still and wait for death. Do you have any good ideas?"

Zhong Daoyi raised his head, and he looked at Zhao Han and continued: "I think we can increase publicity. First, we will produce a book that is a semi-transformed work by Lin Han, focusing on horror and suspense, and laying the world view of zombie novels. Then we package the novel and send it to book critics, asking them to post book reviews to tell the excellent parts of the novel so that readers walking on the avenue can smell the fragrance of wine coming from the alley."

"No, this precedent cannot be opened. Lin Han's books have never been popular with book critics. On the contrary, many book critics take advantage of Lin Han's novels to make gold on their faces." Zhao Han subconsciously rejected the proposal, and he did not think it was a good idea.

"It's just that semi-transformation idea is pretty good. Please pay attention to the publicity side and don't overdo it, otherwise it will lose all the readers who have accumulated in science fiction."

Zhong Daoyi nodded. It would be very good if his ideas could be adopted. "No problem, Mr. Zhao, I'll do it right away."

"Go."

Zhao Han looked at Zhong Daoyi's figure turning and leaving, and he took out his cell phone and thought about it before dialing Lin Han's phone number.

At this time, Lin Han was registering his own company at the Industrial and Commercial Bureau. After hearing Zhao Han's call, he came to the balcony of the corridor, lowered the volume and asked, "Hey? Mr. Zhao, are you doing anything to me?"

"Lin Han, do you read the news online?"

"I've been busy in the past two days. I just wrote the English version of "Resident Evil". I'm still busy acquiring other people's game companies and have no time to surf the Internet. If you have any questions, just tell me directly. I have good psychological quality!"

Zhao Han won't keep it aside. Although he was curious about what Lin Han bought the company, this private matter was not convenient to ask about. "The pre-sale of "Resident Evil" was released, and the situation was very bad. Perhaps everyone was a little discouraged about horror themes. The first day was only 85,000, and today it is expected to be less than 50,000. Even if it is the official release time, it may only be about 300,000 copies in total."

Lin Han has never been very sensitive to numbers, but after comparing with "Inception" in his head, he said with emotion: "This is less than a quarter of "Inception", which is a bit rare. However, works like "Resident Evil" perform averagely in pre-sales, which should be expected."

No one thinks that this novel will surpass "Inception", and it is normal to have a lower level. Readers who read zombie novels may only be part of science fiction readers, that is, novels in niches!

Perhaps Lin Han's calmness was transmitted to Zhao Han, and he gradually calmed down, "Did you expect it?"

"Since I wanted to write about this subject, I knew that my initial results might not be very good. Many people couldn't accept it from aliens to explore the universe and suddenly turning into zombies. But they had to accept it. I wouldn't write that kind of science fiction all my life, and it would be nice to change occasionally."

"Okay, then I'll be relieved." Zhao Han was mainly afraid that Lin Han would lose confidence, but he found that others were prepared and a little worried.

At this time, Lin Han quickly said, "Don't, wait first. I'm going to acquire Xingyue Games. The first project after the acquisition is "Resident Evil". At that time, I will announce this on Weibo and then announce the game portraits of the three protagonists, which should stimulate a wave of pre-sales."

Only then did Zhao Han realize that the novel Love is prepared for the game. No wonder Lin Han was not in a hurry at all, the game was the big one!

"Resident Evil is going to be adapted into a game? That's right. When I was reading it before, I thought the plot was very interesting, with various main plot and side plot horror adventure games, as well as puzzles, etc. I wonder what game it would be made into?"

"It should be a branch of the AVG adventure game. A lot of gun battles will be preserved. I will participate in the game settings."

"You are really too idle. I guess your readers will scream after your announcement. Why not adapt "The Three-Body Problem". There are so many readers of this novel, and it will definitely be very easy to sell after adaptation."

Now it was Lin Han's turn to be distressed. "There is still a discussion about what kind of game "The Three-Body Problem" should be made into. Whether it is mainly novels or the "The Three-Body Problem" game in the novel is a problem. Could it be that the characters in the game are playing games?"

"Thinking carefully"

Lin Han himself doesn’t know what to do about the “Three-Body Problem” game. If it becomes a gun battle game or rpg, it will be meaningless at all.

The novel starts thinking based on existing physics, the choice of technology, the thinking of philosophy, the understanding of the universe and the identification of culture, step by step in contradiction, and the time span is very large, from the cultural revolution to the transformation of the existing universe dimension!

The imagination of opening and closing has excellent writing style and excellent rhythm control ability, showing the breadth of understanding of the universe and the depth of thought.

Such an excellent and high value-added original ip, if you take it out casually, it would definitely be a pity if you don’t dig deeper!

He felt that it could be the same as a universe strategy game like civilization. For example, "Galaxy Civilization 3", using the technology tree set in the novel to slowly develop, and then adding the laws of the Dark Forest as the game setting. However, this is a huge background. Played with the master of civilization, the details in the novel cannot be felt!

Let players take charge of a civilization, fight against other civilizations in the universe, and use elements such as trade, war, diplomacy to maintain the continuation of civilization. This type of game should be considered a niche among the niches, and it is estimated that only a few readers will like this type.

Lin Han once thought about developing this into a role-playing game, but it is very difficult and it is not easy to find the entry point!

Of course, netizens have also been concerned about the "Three-Body Problem" game. One thing they gave was to make a sandbox game. In Lin Han's opinion, only by reaching the level of "Star Wars Eve" can the advantages of "Three-Body Problem" be released, otherwise it will destroy the huge worldview.

Of course, he also knew that the original work of "The Three-Body Problem" was adapted into a movie, a TV series or a game, these derivative works could not show all the ideological connotations, and could only choose one aspect!

It's too early to say this now, because he just just established his own company, and the negotiations with Xingyue Games have just begun.

Lin Han’s name of his company is very interesting, called Galaxy Holdings Group, currently owns Galaxy Games and Galaxy Pictures, and the one used in English is galay!

Next, Chen Jiaxuan's studio will be integrated into it. His agent contract will be signed in his own company. Chen Jiaxuan accounts for 20% of the total share capital, and the remaining 80% belongs to Lin Han.

The company has been established, but now everything is empty. Not to mention the staff, there are not even management personnel. Lin Han and Chen Jiaxuan are definitely not able to take charge of the company by themselves. All he has to do is to grasp a general direction, and the specific things have to be found by others!

So now we have to find a president in the headhunting company, and there are human resources directors, financial directors, marketing directors, operations directors, legal department, etc., all of which are still blank.

However, now the investors of Xingyue Games can't wait to get rid of this burden, so Chen Jiaxuan can only play the person in charge temporarily and start bargaining!

If most game companies suffer losses, they will quietly disappear from the market. If someone is willing to be a buyer, Sequoia Capital is of course willing to let go and stop losses.
Chapter completed!
