Chapter 465: The Savior of the Literary World
When this netizen mentioned it, people suddenly remembered that this era is not without literary classics. It is actually around them. Lin Han has become the fig leaf for the entire literary world!
The literary nature of "Herberian" has been discussed since the day it was serialized. To become a literary classic, it not only requires extremely high aesthetic literary value, but also requires a long history to be tested.
In fact, the writer himself has no answer to the definition of literary classics. Should it be to see its literary value, whether it can accompany people for a long time, or whether it writes some people and things that may be suppressed or forgotten.
However, in Lin Han's opinion, classics must tell some eternal things, not limited to this era!
Of course, the gain of the classic status of literary works in reality is mainly achieved through literary criticism, literary history writing, literary textbook writing, selection of books, bibliography, etc.
There are various aesthetic concepts, cultural concepts and even political concepts in the operation of these methods. In this game, people eventually formed a consensus with a larger common divisor!
Originally, many people just regarded "Herberian" as a science fiction classic. Although it is very literary, it is difficult to surpass those so-called realist novels to a certain extent due to the limitations of the subject type.
Now that it is regarded as a fig leaf, everyone almost praised this novel in unison, whether it has been read or not.
"Yes, who said we have no classics in this century? "Heeberian" has this potential, and wait for it to release physical books!"
"Haiberian was actually ignored and I felt sorry for Teacher Lin. Such a good work is not a classic. Do you have to wait until the writer dies before he becomes a god?"
"Teacher Lin's level is obvious. After each chapter of his story was published, special critics conducted analysis. This is not a level that ordinary people can achieve."
"Why don't we have classics? Because our critics are just immersed in the glory of the past and feel that previous works must be better than the present. They have never opened their eyes and read the current novels with the right mindset!"
"If Heberian is not a literary classic, then the rest of the books will be even more impossible."
"Lin Han's writing skills almost reached its peak at this moment. I have never seen such a writing style. If I could vote, I would choose to give "Hiperian"!"
The previous inference that "there will be no more literary classics in the twenty-one world" has a very wide influence and has been pushed by major news, so there are quite a lot of followers.
People are unwilling to miss literary classics in their own era, but fortunately they have caught a life-saving straw!
According to the original trajectory, "Herberian" may be called a literary classic decades later, and it will not be so many years ahead of schedule.
...
Lin Han sat in the garden of his villa, letting the autumn sun shine on his body. The person sitting opposite him was his friend Li Wenyuan, who came specifically to congratulate him on his housewarming.
"You really know how to enjoy it. After only one or two years of writing, you actually bought a villa in Yanjing. If you say this, you will definitely become a role model for young writers."
"This is not a luxury villa, but the house is bigger and cannot be compared with other people's luxury houses. By the way, you can't afford it. Recently, the investment in "Fantasy Age" has begun to make profits. I guess dividends can make you a neighbor!" Lin Han replied quippedly. He dared to say this, but naturally he received the financial operation status sent by "Fantasy Age" magazine.
Since the resumption of the publication of "Fantasy Age", the sales of magazines have been steadily increasing, especially this year, it has firmly stood firm at the best-selling level of one million monthly sales. For a magazine that once stopped publication due to sales reasons, many industry insiders say this miracle, especially in such an era of gradual decline in paper media!
There is a big reason why this magazine was successful because Lin Han authorized to serialize most of his novels on it, attracting enough science fiction readers, and the magazine did not forget that it had other categories to publish.
The magazine's work is extremely generous, and the manuscript is so comfortable that it is not only given, but there are so many readers, and many fantasy writers can be said to have come uninvited!
They would rather get less royalties than make their novels appear in this magazine that sells millions a month. This would be a good publicity method to help them find physical publishers and become popular in the physical book market.
"Fantasy Age" includes both great masters and newcomers. Even if Lin Han's novel is occasionally missing for a few weeks, there will be no large-scale decline in sales. Everyone has developed the habit of ordering!
In addition to the brilliant physical sales, the magazine's advertising revenue also made its peers very jealous, and even the sales of electronic magazines were very gratifying. Therefore, Lin Han said that it would be no problem to buy a villa after the dividends at the end of the year. This is a villa in a prime location in Yanjing, which is of great value.
Li Wenyuan laughed. He took a sip of the freshly brewed tea and felt a lot of emotion: "To be honest, who could have thought that "Fantasy Age" could be like this?"
Lin Han nodded in agreement, "I invested money at the beginning basically for the sake of feelings, probably just to have fun. The investment income is probably more shocking than others."
If you invest millions and earn tens of millions of dollars, even a talented investor will find it difficult to guarantee such a high rate of return.
"Don't talk about others. Just talk about my wife. She said before that I spent money to reprint "Fantasy Age" was a waste of money, but now I actually praised me for having a good vision when I saw such a prosperous situation."
"Sister-in-law said it makes sense, but I think she must be lucky." Lin Han crossed his legs and leaned on the back of the chair. He smelled the rich fragrance of laurel in his nose, and finally couldn't help but sneeze!
Li Wenyuan scratched his head, "I think I'm lucky because I'm probably getting to know you, although you ruined my novel. When you were a child, fortune tellers said that I had a noble person in my life, and now it seems that it's you."
"Come on, I'm a noble person." Lin Han did not take credit. In his opinion, he did not help Li Wenyuan.
"Some things are not necessarily said directly. My book "Breaking Out of the Mother Universe" alone sold 500,000 more copies because of your name." Li Wenyuan tapped the table with his fingers. He didn't expect that his trilogy would actually become one of the classics in Chinese science fiction.
"Storm Out of the Solar System", "Storm Out of the Milky Way", and "Storm Out of the Mother Universe" are even stronger than the other. Many of the creativity and ideas in it come from Lin Han. The relationship between the two of them also makes Lin Han's fans come over to buy one!
Lin Han was unwilling to make his few friends even fewer. He waved his hand and said, "Come on, let's talk about it a little bit more relaxed."
"Okay. You can talk so much about it. How is the situation at the Venice Film Festival?" Li Wenyuan was more concerned about this issue. He wanted to change careers and become a director, but unfortunately he didn't have this talent.
"The crew of "The Mars Rescue" has been staying in Venice for public relations and sales of overseas screening rights, but I guess the possibility of winning the award is not very high. After all, this is a science fiction comedy, and it is still a long way from classic movies. However, it may bring us a great surprise in the box office!" Lin Han did not expect too much. It would be good if Venice Film Saving gives the qualification to participate in the main competition unit. If you really want to hand the award to "The Mars Rescue", you will probably be criticized by film critics and movie magazines!
Li Wenyuan nodded seriously, "It's better that the copyright of your movie is sold well. It's not as messy as me. You and Chen Jiaxuan are familiar with the entertainment industry, so you won't be as stupid as me and someone comes to buy it and sell it without asking the price."
Lin Han didn't know how to comfort him, after all, the original owner of his body had messed up Li Wenyuan's novel adaptation, so he could only keep silent.
Fortunately, Li Wenyuan didn't think too much, "By the way, when did your "Haiberian" come out of physical books? Now everyone regards you as the savior of the literary world."
"This expectation is really too high. I was already very tired when I was a savior of Chinese science fiction. How could I save the entire literary world?" Lin Han patted his shoulder. Although it looked quite broad and thick, it was really not the weight that alone was deliberately bearing.
Even if he has the memory of the earth in his previous life, he dare not say that he can pick it up. If his expectations are too high, it will easily ruin a person.
Just as everyone had high expectations for him after "Inception", the work "Resident Evil" was obviously very good, but it was said to be an ordinary level!
Li Wenyuan was a little envious and a little thankful, "Now those people should be seeking medical treatment in a hurry. When they catch someone, they want to be a life-saving straw. If they had known before that the only one who could save the literary world was actually a science fiction novel, I wonder what those guys would think."
"Not to mention it was back then, even now many people can't believe it." Lin Han squeezed out a smile, "As for the physical book matter, it's probably still a while. Now everyone's expectations are too high. I plan to put together the contents of the previous serialization and then modify and improve it."
Because it is a content that is posted while writing, many times I want to modify the previous content when writing the subsequent text, but the previous chapter has been published and cannot be modified!
Chapter completed!
