Chapter 490 Xinhua Bookstore Promotion Ambassador
(Today is still the third update, and the subscription is now severely declined. Please support genuine reading, thank you~)
Now that Lin Han's income has been exposed, Jong Hyun's provocation is more like a clown. After removing the sales of 10 million copies, he still has 10 million copies more than him. What is the difference between Chihuahua provoking Tibetan mastiffs!
No one will promote the showdown between these two people anymore. This is an insult to Lin Han's status. At least the showdown requires two sides whose status and strength are close to each other. The gap is too big now and there is no suspense. . The fastest update
Lin Han also threw this matter behind his mind and did not want to care about this. As long as his new book is listed normally and safely, it will be a victory!
In the morning of late autumn and early winter, the temperature was really cold. After Lin Han finished warming up in the garden, he wore headphones and ran around the villa area for a few laps.
Writing at a desk for a long time, the profession of writers is also prone to occupational diseases. Cervical spondylosis is probably the most common, including tendonitis, chronic lumbar muscle strain, chronic fatigue syndrome, and even hemorrhoids.
Of course, writers also have the longest career, and can write from their teens and twenties to their seventies and eighties, but it is necessary to have a strong body for so long!
Lin Han has always valued his health. When he is writing, he always gets up and walks around every two hours. He finally has the current status and wealth. If he gets sick early, it would be very unprofitable.
After running ten kilometers, he slowed down, walked and stopped for the rest of the distance, giving his body a buffer time. People who don’t have to go to work are so happy!
After Lin Han went home and took a hot shower, he put on his jacket, ate breakfast, and prepared for today's entertainment.
While eating porridge buns, he opened the newspaper and read the news. As expected, most of the newspapers today have his news. However, because Chinese football tied with Iran, the news that he was on the global rich list could only be the headline in the second page, which is also a very good position.
This Beijing News uses such a title to write the news, "Who is the most profitable in the world? Lin Han beats Aunt Rowling, and Patterson becomes king!"
"This newly released global writer income list is much more luxurious compared to the Chinese writer rich list. The income gap between Chinese and foreign writer rich people has further widened. If you really want to make money from writing, then Chinese writers must be more diligent.
Of course, the announcement of this list also made those who lament the decline of pure literature in China feel a little better. Because all the rich writers on the list are genre literary writers, none of them write pure literature. Pure literature not only declines in China, but also declines in the world!
A reporter from the Beijing News compared this list with the rich Chinese writers last year and found that although the interests of Chinese and foreign readers are different, most of the people on the list are also genre literary writers."
The type of literature mentioned here is compared with traditional elite literature and pure literature, which is to subdivide popular literature in subject categories, such as officialdom, workplace, time travel, martial arts, fantasy and fantasy, fantasy and science fiction, mysterious and supernatural adventure, thriller, suspense, horror, game competition, youth growth, military spy war, urban love, etc.
Lin Han is also a type of literary writer. He belongs to science fiction and a little bit of urban love.
Back to the topic, this article continues to write: "But a cruel reality is that both rich people, in front of Western writers, the income of Chinese writers is still very poor. The reporter made a comparison. Last year, the richest Chinese writers had an annual income of 5,900 yuan, while the richest writers in the world were 95 million US dollars, which was 650 million yuan, which was exactly 11 times! In other words, the income of Chinese writers and wealthiest people who have envied many peers is not as good as that of foreign rich writers!
Fortunately, Lin Han came to save us this year. His $72 million income is not much better than the top spot. It makes us feel a little comforted. At least the gap has been narrowed so much at once.
It is worth mentioning that Ms. JK Rowling, the mother of Harry Potter, who is familiar to Chinese readers, has now lost revenue. Will she form a three-legged car with Lin Han and champion James Patterson, and let us wait and see."
This news is well written. It not only narrates the news, but also captures the explosive points, such as the terrifying 11 times the income, but also analyzes the reasons!
This result is very frustrating, because in terms of royalties, the royalties of many famous Chinese celebrities have exceeded 15% or even 20%, which is the same as international brands, and Lin Han is just this number.
However, the internationalization of writers in these countries is very strong. Whether their works are best-selling in European and American countries, they will even be listed in more countries. Dan Brown's "The Da Vinci Code" is not only a best-selling writer in Europe and the United States, but also sold nearly five million copies in China.
In contrast, the "sphere of influence" of Chinese writers and wealthy people is mostly limited to China. Except for Lin Han, there are few writers who have sold 500,000 copies in overseas markets.
Even if the works of other people can be sold in China for millions of copies, since they can only be sold in China and cannot make US dollars and euros, the world ranking of income will naturally be greatly reduced!
More importantly, most Chinese writers are still very low-yield. If they think about doing literature as an industry, then low-yield is obviously fatal.
A large part of the reason why Patterson has been ranked first in the income list for a long time is because of his high productivity and he can write an average of ten books every year by using assembly lines! Even Lin Han's income is so high, and his hard work in writing books is not as good as Patterson, but six or seven books have arrived a year.
Just imagine, if Lin Han only wrote two books a year, even if he could maintain his current sales, the total sales would be much smaller, so high-yield writers have a very advantage!
Among so many reports, Lin Han likes this one the most. He folded the newspaper and then appeared on the Hanlin Academy forum. He found that his readers did not have any mentality of hating the rich, and they were all happy and proud of their success.
"Congratulations to Mr. Lin for being the runner-up of the global writer income list. This is a reward for diligent writing. As long as you write seriously, readers will definitely see it. We look forward to more excellent works in the future!"
"Awesome, my teacher Lin! He ranked third in China last year, and this year he went directly to the world, and his income increased tenfold!"
"Teacher Lin has worked hard to write so many novels, and it is normal to have this income. The more sweat you put in, you can gain as much success as you can. I can't envy you!"
"The confession is a heart-to-heart. Domestic writers envy Teacher Lin's income, but they don't even have one-tenth of Teacher Lin's diligence. They publish one or two books a year, making readers wait for it. This kind of person is the most hateful!"
"I am really happy for Teacher Lin. I remember when I was watching an interview before, I saw Teacher Lin say that he couldn't even afford the rent when he was at the bottom of the day. Now it's so inspiring!"
"This really corresponds to Li Bai's words. I was born with the help of my talents. I will come back after all my money is gone!"
"Only those who have tasted failure will know how hard-earned success is."
"Teacher Lin vividly interprets what a person who is successful than you, and works harder than you..."
Before he knew it, Lin Han, who turned from a bad director, to a well-known writer, has become an inspirational model in the minds of many netizens, and even appears as a positive character in the compositions of many middle school students.
Who made his struggle history attract the national media to report it? The students have such a living example in front of them, and they will be wasted without having to praise it in the composition!
"This group of people really know how to play."
Lin Han smiled and shook his head. Many netizens in the forum were giving advice on how Lin Han spent money. One of the statements made him shine, and he made a science fiction movie of his own.
This idea hit his heart directly. Even if he can't make "The Three-Body Problem" now, it shouldn't be a problem to shoot a small-produced science fiction film?
Anyway, I have money and have studied hard for so long, so it may be a good idea to find a movie to practice.
This idea just came to my mind, and a phone call from Chen Jiaxuan came over. Lin Han picked up the phone and slid it to the right, and connected it.
"Hey? Dear, aren't you sleeping in the bedroom? If you have anything to do, you have to call."
Lin Han's words were full of confusion. While asking, he walked from the living room to the bedroom upstairs. He thought something had happened to Chen Jiaxuan.
"I'm too lazy to get up and call you. Miao Hong called me to inform you of good news just now!"
Just as Chen Jiaxuan was talking to her cell phone, Lin Han had already pushed open the bedroom door and walked in. He sat by the bed, opened the curtains in a gap, and asked, "Tell me, I'll listen."
Chen Jiaxuan grabbed the pillow next to her and put it behind her back, and said, "You know Xinhua Bookstore, they came to the door on their own initiative!"
How many people in China don’t know about Xinhua Bookstore?
Even in some remote small towns, you can see that sign, the largest chain bookstore in the country, is also the largest sales office where Lin Han’s novels can sell well across the country.
"The people of Xinhua Bookstore want you to be their promotion ambassador. Of course, the focus of publicity is not on China, but on abroad. You also know that Xinhua Bookstore is a subsidiary of China Publishing Group. A branch opened in Los Angeles by China Book Import and Export Corporation, one of their subsidiary, is about to open. You just solely ranked second in the global writer income list, so it is a wise choice to ask you to promote the brand of Xinhua Bookstore!"
Although Xinhua Bookstore's business is mainly domestic, it still has a branch in the United States and Europe. For example, there are two or three stores in New York. It is the largest Chinese bookstore in the local area. Los Angeles is also a gathering place for Chinese people, with quite a lot of Chinese readers.
