Chapter 609 Helpless Hugo Award

When the pre-sale results of "Philosophy in the Matrix" were exposed, the publishing industry almost caused an uproar!

What is the concept of pre-sale of 310,000 yuan?

If the quality of this book is above the passing line, the total sales volume exceeding one million will not be difficult at all!

According to the ratio of pre-sales and total sales over the years, the number of pre-sales generally accounts for 20%-40% of the total sales, while the more extreme ones account for more than 50%.

Those are fan-type works, and fans booked the novel early, and fewer real passers-by bought them.

Lin Han's pre-sale volume of "The Matrix" is more than one million, but now the total sales volume of Simplified Chinese has reached more than eight million, and the pre-sale proportion is actually not much!

Although there are very few pirated copies in this world and people are very enthusiastic about reading books, books with sales of over one million are still good.

This is a threshold and a dividing line. Only writers who have entered the millions of marks are qualified to label themselves as best-selling!

None of the best books can break this boundary. Many talented writers are blocked by this threshold, but now a collection of articles can actually perform such a phenomenal performance!

The book "Philosophy in the Matrix" is clearly written for readers of the Matrix. The target group is very clear. It is not for all readers, but for the specific group of people.

After the target market segmentation, such targeted results can be achieved very useful results. The sales of 310,000 yuan are even many times better than the pre-sale results of Lin Han’s female works!

The sales increase of "I, Robot" actually increased after the novel was released, using its reputation to achieve a counterattack, and the popularity in North America in turn stimulated domestic sales.

Not to mention Shi Peng, Zeng Xinhui couldn't believe this result. Even Zhang Guangbao, the director of the Department of Philosophy at Yenching University, and all the editors of the Affiliated Press of Yenching University were confused...

I thought the printing volume of 700,000 copies was very risky and it would be very difficult to sell, but I didn’t know the result was so easy. The pre-sale volume alone broke through the sky!

Now the people from the publishing house and the cooperating express delivery have started packing these books almost overnight. They have stocked in several major warehouses across the country, so they started shipping from several major regions.

In fact, the express delivery company has made a lot of money with Lin Han. After all, the pre-sale volume of each book is so amazing. These books need to be delivered to readers by express delivery!

Of course, the price of the publishing house and the express delivery company is very, very cheap. No matter how cheap the price is, more than one million express delivery will bring them considerable profits.

Whenever Lin Han publishes a new book, this express delivery seems to be on Double Eleven, which greatly tests their logistics speed and efficiency!

...

At this time, Lin Han just finished filming in the movie studio. They were going to go out for a location filming in the hottest summer. Fortunately, most of the plots of "The Matrix" are in the city, so you don't need to go to the wilderness to take risks, otherwise life will be even more difficult.

Of course, the director is located in the place where he is located, and the monitor is a bit dazzling in direct sunlight.

This is the biggest test for the crew. Fortunately, the outdoor location has been basically surveyed, mainly filmed in some streets and buildings. Lin Han even rented the right to use an abandoned expressway with his own influence to shoot the climax scene in the second part of the movie!

After finishing the shooting in the studio, Lin Han rarely gave everyone a day off. After all, they worked overtime and didn't even have a weekend break.

Not to mention the actors and staff, even Lin Han himself felt physically and mentally exhausted and could not bear it. He needed to relax!

With the arrival of summer, the private swimming pool in the villa finally came in handy. After asking a special company to disinfect the pool, they filled the pool with water.

Lin Han was wearing a pair of swimming trunks to do warm-up activities by the pool. He was well managed in his figure, with obvious muscle lines and no exaggeration, and he looked very pleasing to the eye!

On one side, Chai Chai sticks out his tongue and looks up at his master moving around, and it’s quite puzzled.

After warming up, Lin Han squatted down and scooped the water from the swimming pool with his hands to pour it on himself. This is to adapt to the temperature of the water in advance and cool the body so that he will not cramp because he suddenly enters the cold water!

The preparation was almost done. Lin Han ran for a while on the shore and then jumped into the air, bent his hands and hugged his legs, smashing them into the swimming pool like a cannonball, splashing huge waves.

Chai Chai was eager to protect his master at this time. It thought Lin Han had fallen into the water and kept barking on the shore!

Lin Han also wanted to tease it, so he stayed at the bottom of the water and wanted to see how Shibashi did it.

After shouting for a while, no one paid attention to it. Chai Chai became anxious, and he carefully entered the swimming pool and instinctively dived to the bottom of the water with a dog-pad to try to pull Lin Han up!

This action made Lin Han very pleased, and he was finally not in vain!

So each person and a dog played happily in the swimming pool. When Chen Jiaxuan walked out, she saw such a scene.

She wore a hot bikini, and her beautiful figure was revealed at this time. Fortunately, it was her own private swimming pool, otherwise Lin Han would have been worried about being seen by others!

"Do you want to come down and play with water?"

Lin Han deliberately poured water on the shore with his hands, and then swam to the shore and looked at Chen Jiaxuan from bottom to top.

"Wait, I'll put some sunscreen before talking. Now I'll get tanned when swimming!"

Women care very much about their skin and appearance, and Chen Jiaxuan is no exception. When she squeezed out sunscreen to apply on her body, she didn't realize how seductive her movements were!

When she bent down to apply her slender calves, the snow-white and surging chest appeared in front of Lin Han, making him unable to help swallowing.

At this time, he didn't care about swimming anymore. Lin Han pressed the shore with his arms and stood up from the swimming pool. He took Chen Jiaxuan's sunscreen and said, "I'll help you apply it."

Chen Jiaxuan did not refuse either. She lay on the beach chair and exposed her sexy back. Lin Han applied the sunscreen in her palm with both hands and gently climbed onto her delicate skin.

The originally very romantic moment was destroyed by Chai Chai. It dragged its wet hair and lay directly beside Chen Jiaxuan, sticking out its tongue and smirking, making Lin Han not know how to say it!

This guy looks stupid, but he is very nice to himself. He just pretended to fall into the water to test it out.

"Chai Chai, you are really born to swim!" Chen Jiaxuan rubbed its round face with her hands and said jokingly.

Shibashi was born in winter and had no chance to go into the water to swim before. At most, it was exposed to water when taking a bath.

However, when you are walking your dog, as long as there are small puddles, it wants to flow over!

Earlier today, when the water temperature in the swimming pool reached the right level, Shibashi just used his claws to touch the water surface and then quickly retracted.

It wanted to play with water, but it didn't dare to go down, so Lin Han pretended to fall into the water with such a move!

Shibashi, who was originally a little afraid of water, finally jumped down bravely, trying to save his master.

Lin Han picked up Chaichai and said with a smile: "Chaichai performed very well just now, and add a ham sausage to it tonight as a reward."

When he heard about something food, Shibashi's eyes immediately became flexible and even secreted more saliva!

"If you feed it more, it will turn into a meat ball." Chen Jiaxuan poked Shibashi's bulging belly with her finger. This little guy is so cute and has a clear horizontal development trend.

Lin Han weighed the weight of Shibashi, "It's time to lose weight, so we just swim and lose weight every day."

After saying that, he jumped into the swimming pool with Chai Chai in his arms, causing Chai Chai to panic and barking!

...

Here, Lin Han's family has a warm vacation and leisure time, but there is a group of people in the United States on the other side of the earth who are trapped in conflict.

"Chris, are you sure there is no problem with these votes?" asked a white man wearing reading glasses repeatedly.

Opposite him was a handsome white guy in his prime. Chris spread his hands helplessly and said, "I thought there was a problem with the vote count, so I checked it five times! Billy, how do you think we should announce it to the members and the media?"

Billy put down his reading glasses. He is the executive chairman of the organization committee of this year's Hugo Awards. The annual Hugo Awards have begun the nomination process. Members from all over the world nominated to choose the best works in their hearts.

This was originally a happy event, a big event in world science fiction literature, but their expressions were not so beautiful!

Another black man's mouth showed a faint sarcasm, "What else can you do? Unless you are willing to lie to the media and reporters, otherwise it will be announced as it should."

"Kirke, we are here to discuss things, not to let you sit aside and joke." The crisscrossing gullies on Billy's face looked particularly serious, which is indeed something worthy of careful treatment.

Chris didn't expect things to turn out like this. On the nomination list received this year, 14,000 members participated in the nomination process, and the nominations for the other awards were a little normal, but a major disaster occurred in the most important novel award!

Originally, the five books with the highest turnout rate became candidates for the best novels, but the top five of this year were all Lin Han’s books without exception!

The first place is "Hiberian", the second place is "Inception", the third place is "Bring Her Eyes", the fourth place is "Immortality", and the fifth place is "The Matrix"!

"The Matrix", which had just been released in Europe and the United States for more than a month, actually squeezed into the top five votes, suppressing Lin Han's other novel "The Wife of the Time Traveler" behind, and even "Resident Evil" ranked among the top ten in the turnout!

The nomination for an award was actually won by the same author. What exactly is this?
Chapter completed!
