Chapter 45
Houhai Bar Street is probably the most literary and artistic bar gathering place in Yanjing City. These bars are either located on the Shicha Sea with swaying trees or hidden in the quiet and low-key hutong courtyard, with an elegant environment.
Compared with Gongsports Hall, Sanlitun Bar Street and other bars with a warm atmosphere, it is much quieter. In addition to the regular and lively bars, there are also many bars and music bars, and there are often some good resident singers among them.
After arriving at the 24-hour alternative bar, Houhai No. 5, Lin Han ordered a "absolute zero" self-made cocktail at the bar. The price is very affordable and much cheaper than the bar in Qianhai.
The overall architectural style of the bar is mainly Chinese and Western style. The yard is covered with glass, which is transparent and bright. A very modern and personalized band is performing on stage, and professional DJs are responsible for driving the atmosphere of the whole audience.
After finding a seat to sit down, Lin Han began to listen to the singers singing leisurely. The attendance rate of the bar is now pretty good, basically exceeding 60%, but that guy Wang Hao hasn't arrived yet.
The band's station chief is a slightly fat singer wearing glasses. His pitch skills and emotional investment are quite good. It is not abrupt to sing songs that Lin Han is not familiar with at all. If you are participating in Chinese Voices, there should be no problem, after all, it is just a drag on your appearance.
After more than twenty minutes, Wang Hao walked to Lin Han panting. He quietly punched Lin Han in the back behind him, then bent around and pretended to be innocent.
"Sorry, the traffic jam is a bit long. I just spent a little more time looking for a parking space. I have been wandering outside for more than a year and finally returned to the flower world. I'll treat you tonight!"
Lin Han raised the wine glass and said in surprise: "Oh, Director Wang is so generous today, is there anything good to do?"
Wang Hao pointed to his arm and still had a face, and replied with a complaint: "I have traveled through mountains and rivers outside and received a year's salary and no land to spend money. Do you know how much torture this is! We went from Kunming to Jiuzhaigou to Shan-Dongyan-Tai, from Suzhou to Datongyungang Grottoes, from Qingcheng Mountain to Emei Mountain, and almost ran all over China, and even went to Thailand to take pictures with India."
"While working, you are enjoying the beautiful mountains and rivers of the motherland, you are doing well." Lin Han raised his glass and toasted Wang Hao, and then said: "I can't wait to see the finished product now. When will it be broadcast?"
"Who knows, post-production has only started now. I have been liberated for a few days and have to follow the crew to do post-production. However, this year has been very fulfilling. When all big-name actors come to our crew, they have to be obedient. Even the top-tier celebrities can only play a supporting role. It's quite a pleasure to think about it."
At this time, Lin Han suddenly remembered a key question, "Who played the Monkey King? Is Liu Xiaolingtong?"
"Who is Liu Xiaolingtong? This is a weird name. The Monkey King is of course Mr. Zhang Jinlai Zhang. They are the monkey kings heirloomed by the sixth generation. No one dares to take over the image of Sun Wukong except their family."
Isn’t Zhang Jinlai the Liu Xiaolingtong? Lin Han exclaimed surprise in his heart. If someone else came to play Sun Houzi, he, who had watched the Earth version of Journey to the West, would not be able to adapt at all, but if it was him, he would have expectations.
"He acted well, he is the soul of the entire TV series."
When Lin Han was a child, he never discovered that Tang Seng was played by three actors. In his eyes, only the image of the great saint Sun Wukong is the most distinctive, and the rest of Zhu Bajie and others have to lean back.
After a dozen beer was placed on the table, Wang Hao took a big sip and said again: "I heard that you are doing well now. The new books are popular among the big publishers. When are you planning to come back and continue to be a director?"
"It's good to write books now. Just be a director and wait until you are slow. I'm not in a hurry."
"No matter how good the book is, it's useless. And you're also investing in science fiction novels. You see, there are several domestic companies that dare to make science fiction movies, unless they plan to lose money from the beginning."
Wang Hao sighed. He really didn't want to see a talented new director sinking like this. How could he compare to making movies when writing novels?
However, Lin Han didn't feel this way. He smiled and said, "My man, after this book is published, I will become a writer, and this halo is still very bright. My new book "I, Robot" has been printed for the first time, which is much better than other books."
"That's right, at least Renmin University Press will not do anything randomly. They dare to print so much, and they must have conducted market research. I wish you sales exceed one million and become a best-selling writer!"
"What's the point of breaking a million, it should break a million!" Lin Han began to let go after drinking some wine. The purpose of his book is not just a million. As one of the eternal classics of science fiction novels, it should be seen by more people!
Wang Hao ignored this, he thought Lin Han was just talking big, so he raised his wine glass, "If you break tens of millions, you will break tens of millions, and you will leave."
"Dry this beer!"
...
Lin Han, who hadn't drunk for a long time, didn't know how he got home. He just felt a headache all over his body. It was because of alcoholism that he could come to this world.
Opening his eyes, he walked to the living room outside to pick up a bottle of water and drank half a bottle, rescuing his slightly dry throat. Now the sun shines on the glass, and the rare good weather made him feel a little better.
Drinking with friends is the best way to relieve stress. He has been busy rushing for manuscripts these days, his nerves are tense, and he just took this opportunity to have a good rest.
After taking a shower and throwing all the clothes with alcohol smell into the washing machine, he began to pay attention to the publicity work of his own new book.
"Science Fiction World" and Renmin University Press directly joined forces to start a large-scale promotion for the novel "I, Robot". One is to use this novel to attract higher sales to hit the best-selling magazines of millions, and the other is to strike while the iron is hot to attract science fiction fans to enjoy their appetites.
Therefore, it began to be promoted on Weibo and some newspapers. The publishing house was very efficient. It had already produced an exquisite cover before Lin Han submitted the manuscript. When the proofreading was completed, the printing and binding was extremely fast. Zhao Han's idea was to use the power of the novel selection to put "I, Robot" into the market as soon as possible.
"After "Rural Teacher", "I, Robot" has created another glory! A unique perspective tells you the history of a robot, and the epoch-making laws of creating robots will be released nationwide on January 1, 2017!"
"The top ten science fiction writers jointly recommend it, and the masterpiece of the year "I, Robot" is coming. Come to Xinhua Bookstore, and buy books on New Year's Day 20% off!"
"The most awesome science fiction "I, Robot" in history has been praised by the industry. I will order the 12th issue of "Science Fiction World" to take you to read the epoch-making works first!"
"Exclusive interview with Tong Yonglie: There are successors in science fiction literature, and I strongly recommend reading "I, Robot"!"
"In a relaxed and unique science fiction novel, Lin Han created the most complete robot series in science fiction history. No need to worry about not understanding these theories anymore. Now you can get a poster when booking online."
