Chapter 444 National Writer!
When he thought of writing a new book, Lin Han's fingers became a little restless. It was a very good idea to dance ballet on the keyboard with his fingers. He returned home with a small song.
The room was very hot in the afternoon. He had only walked a few steps and was already sweating profusely. When the cool breeze from the air conditioner blew out, he had already drunk half a bottle of iced mineral water!
"Cool!"
Although it is not Sprite, which is cool and fluttering, it is enough to keep the heat wave out.
The decoration design of the villa is to install a small central air conditioner. When you go back, you don’t have to turn on the air conditioner slowly. You can cool down directly and use a mobile phone to control the temperature before you get home.
The trophy display cabinets in the study are already dense. In addition to the Hugo Award, Nebula Award, and Galaxy Award, there are also trophys from foreign awards ceremony!
His novels are not a joke in the world. Literary awards from many countries such as Japan, France, the United Kingdom, the United States, Spain, Australia, etc. have been awarded to Lin Han, but he has almost never personally received the awards, and they have asked Alex and the Penguin Publishing Group to arrange people to attend.
If he spends all his time on this, obviously there will be no such many novels. It will take at least a week to go there. It is estimated that he will become a flying man in the air all year round.
Lin Han’s computer has been updated once, and now it is almost a shotgun replacement, and the running speed is very fast. It is good to type and play games on the mechanical keyboard. It only took more than ten seconds to start the computer!
The habit of typing cannot be developed or adapted overnight. Lin Han’s routine is to read WeChat, QQ, Weibo, and email before typing, and read all the possible places you can find yourself before opening the ord document.
Look, there are several emails in his private email address, some of which were sales reports compiled and forwarded by Xie Xin, and some were information about the situation sent by Penguin Publishing Group.
It has been more than a week since the publication of "Resident Evil", and this novel that was not popular in advance exploded with amazing energy on the weekend. It sold 270,000 copies on Saturday, and was also not low on Sunday, and 240,000 copies were sold. The total sales volume successfully exceeded the 2 million mark!
The sign of whether Lin Han’s new book is selling well now is not the million-level, but whether it can exceed three million or four million copies in a month. Tens of millions may not appear in this era.
Because the gradual popularity of e-books has affected the sales of physical books. Although the number of people reading has not decreased significantly, the sales on mobile devices cannot be ignored, and now it is almost half open!
"Resident Evil" is available in Douban Reading, Amazon Online Bookstore, Dangdang Books and other places to download e-books, which is exactly in line with the reading taste of young people. The sales volume has reached 1.8 million copies, and it is not much better than physical sales.
The book market has been sluggish for a long time. It has not been a book with a natural annual sales of over 10 million for more than ten years. At most, a few books like Lin Han have accumulated sales of over 10 million!
As time goes by, millions of milestones will be getting farther and farther away from best-selling writers, and now Lin Han is the one who is highly anticipated. Relevant researchers in the book market unanimously believe that Lin Han may be the writer who is most likely to break this situation.
Because he is young enough, he is now in the golden stage of creation, and the accumulation of fans has reached a considerable level. As long as he comes up with good works, it is impossible to achieve it with multiple sprints!
In the sales news forwarded by his assistant Xie Xin, Lin Han was very satisfied with the sales of his novels. This year, even if the rest of the copyright is not included, he can compete for the championship on the writers’ rich list by relying on novel sales alone.
After all, the cumulative sales of "Inception" have successfully become the number one of the year, and it is temporarily leading. The following books have also performed well, and the new books have driven the sales of old books with significant results!
Now the critics' expectations for Lin Han are placed on "Inception". The sales exceeded 5 million copies in three months, and maybe it will be 10 million in 12 months. Even Renmin University Press is still considering what method should be used to stimulate a wave of sales. Perhaps promotion is a very good method.
No matter how much sales are, it is just a number for Lin Han. If it is converted into royalties, Lin Han feels sorry for his money and has to pay so much at once. It feels so distressing to think about it!
Most people on the Hanlin Academy forum are talking about the plot of "Resident Evil", but on the Weibo account, there are quite a complaints about Lin Han.
The cause of the incident was that a marketing account with more than 4 million fans posted a message, "Recently, a newly launched book has become an indescribable existence. It can't stop the downward trend, but it still doesn't admit that it not only faked the pre-sale, but also bribed the book critics, but they couldn't find a bad review, which was simply a hehe."
Although there are many people using Weibo, users are becoming more and more violent. Many people agree with this post that clearly has problems!
"Is this talking about "Resident Evil"? It's obvious that the pre-sales in the previous few days were so bad, but in the end it soared to 800,000 copies. I really think everyone is fool!"
"I wasn't sure who the owner was talking about, but after reading the professional book reviews of "Resident Evil", I found that they were all applauding. Even Lin Han's fans thought this was not his peak work, so why are book critics so consistent? If they are bribed or forced, this situation will occur."
"What should I do with innuendo? Tell me directly whether it is "Resident Evil" or "The Sword of Love". If you have the ability, just use the evidence directly, don't mention any or not."
"Sure enough, it's the book I guess. I don't write a good science fiction, and I go to write about zombies, and try to save my face. This sales volume will definitely be seriously inflated!"
"No way? I always thought Teacher Lin was very upright, but I didn't expect that he was such a person, and he decisively turned into a bad guy!"
"He knew people, but not their hearts. It turns out that he did this kind of thing, and he really misjudged the person."
Many people have been led by marketing accounts for a long time, but they are fooled every time. This time, many passers-by have been led by the nose, thinking that what the marketing accounts say is true, and they don’t even go to test or doubt it, and believe it without doubt.
The ambiguous words obviously angered Lin Han’s readers. The fans of Hanlin Academy are not people who are afraid of trouble. They have never lost fighting with others. If they meet a mad dog, they will let hackers come forward!
"To be honest, does Teacher Lin need to cheat? He is a real sales champion. He rarely even makes promotions in his novels. He is not like your master, who wants to buy one and get ten free of charge!"
"Teacher Lin's sales are not a matter of one or two days."
"It's really popular that people have a lot of trouble. If you have the ability, just say the name directly. Why do someone's book come from? Teacher Lin is not unable to accept criticism. People say that this book is a commercial novel, but it is definitely not required by the standards of literary masterpieces. From the perspective of commercial novels, "Resident Evil" is worth recommending."
"You said those who said these words are fans, but have you read Teacher Lin's novels? I suggest you buy this book and read it before speaking!"
"Why do you have to speak out and cause discussion? Just take advantage of Teacher Lin's popularity and say it directly. Be careful to forward it to 500! Don't be scared by the legal affairs of Teacher Lin's studio and delete it. Take a screenshot first and save it!"
"Someone spread rumors and some people sneered in the past few days, can't Teacher Lin be quiet?"
...
Lin Han has read a lot of these comments. Real gold is not afraid of fire. These rumors will only affect a small number of brainless people at most. If it were his fans, they would definitely think about it.
However, he still plans to announce the new book according to the original plan, so that fans will not get entangled with others, so as not to be dragged down.
"In 1921, Czech writers created a new word robot, and humans have since developed the concept of robots;
In 1939, the first home robot was exhibited at the World Expo in New York, which could walk, talk and smoke;
In 1954, American DeWell built the first programmable robot, and since then the robot was built to serve humans;
In 2012, robots have not only become a coolie for transporting goods and cleaning, but also a caregiver for the elderly and children, playing an important role in every corner of the human world;
In 2030, humans will continue to enjoy the services of robots, but unexpectedly, these robots that have been given the power are secretly planning a huge conspiracy;
In the 23rd century, artificial black holes devoured the earth, and humans were forced to exile in the universe;
In the 25th century, robot killers came through time and space, slaughtered a whole city.
In the 27th century, when war comes, humans are vulnerable to the enemy whose intelligence is far higher than theirs, and they are at the critical moment of life and death.
On the eve of the final battle, seven humans came to the front line, a planet named Heberian. They decided to face the cruel robot killer Shrike, unravel their own secrets and save all humanity!
One day, the intelligence of machines will far exceed that of humans. Open this book and see what will happen on that day...
My new science fiction work, I promised everyone's space opera "Herberian" to start micro-blog serialization tomorrow!"
Lin Han sorted out the time thread, and then put it in this way similar to the introduction on the long Weibo blog, informing his book friends that they could prepare to chase the book.
Chapter completed!
