Chapter 624 Global Writer's Nightmare
When the previous few months of this year passed, everyone was saying that Lin Han was weak and Jiang Lang had exhausted his talents. For a high-yield writer, he certainly had doubts about not publishing new books for half a year.
Some even maliciously speculated whether Lin Han was afraid of falling sales and did not dare to publish novels, so he used this to keep himself on the altar!
But they soon couldn't laugh. With the release of "The Matrix" worldwide, Lin Han successfully upgraded from a nightmare for Chinese writers to a nightmare for global writers.
For a month in a row, the simplified Chinese and traditional Chinese novels of "The Matrix" have all occupied the first place in the book sales list, and this position is unshakable!
The performance in the English version is even better. The UK is ranked first for three consecutive weeks and the US market is ranked first for four consecutive weeks. By the time the movie "Jurassic Park" was released, the overseas sales of "The Matrix" had exceeded 9 million mark and was striving to strive for 10 million.
Its sales in the Chinese market are also not inferior. 7.3 million copies are the highest sales in recent years. The two overseas and local markets have combined, and it has reached 16 million!
The royalty income brought to Lin Han by this book alone is no less than 200 million yuan. Of course, this income is definitely not something you can get right away, and it will take as soon as three months to half a year.
With the help of "The Matrix", "Philosophy in the Matrix", he made a fortune in silence and sold nearly two million copies quietly!
Just when everyone felt that this terrifying month was about to end, "Jurassic Park", which can ignite the enthusiasm of people all over the world to watch movies, is released again.
There is no need to say much about the popularity of this movie. What makes writers and publishers in the world speechless is that this movie is adapted from the novel of the same name by Lin Han!
The book "Jurassic Park" returned to the readers' attention amid the popularity of the movie, especially after hearing that the movie only adapted 20% of the novel!
20% is so wonderful, what about 100% of novels?
Look, must watch!
Any movies, TV series or online dramas adapted from novels will cause sales to rise against the trend to varying degrees after being broadcast.
Even after the original novel of "The Hunger Games" sold 20 million copies worldwide, it sold another 10 million in six days as soon as the movie was released!
This driving ability is amazing. Those who have watched the movie want to read the novel again and look for the difference here. Will there be explanations for the metaphors and Easter eggs that you don’t understand in the movie?
The first few months were silent, and in the middle, Lin Han was completely alone in the world. His own books were fighting on the sales rankings, which made the rest of them sigh!
Yes, the throne of the "Matrix" sales list was overturned by dinosaurs, and this is not the first time the novel "Jurassic Park" has returned to the championship position.
More than two years ago, it first topped the list, and after almost every year it was stimulated by various news. After the Super Bowl trailer in February this year, Jurassic Park stayed in the championship position for two weeks and stayed in the top ten for eight weeks!
Now in mid-June, it has returned to the top spot in the sales list with the film's east wind, and has several positions ahead of the second-place "The Matrix".
This novel is probably the most sold since Lin Han wrote. It was not obvious at the beginning, but it has sold well to this day and has achieved sales of more than 20 million worldwide, and is still sprinting forward continuously, and is expected to reach the level of 30 million copies!
This is what it takes to ride on Hollywood movies and can repeatedly increase the sales of novels. Perhaps in a few years, when "Jurassic Park 2" is released, it will launch a Jedi counterattack again.
In fact, in Lin Han's original world, the cumulative global sales of the original novel "Jurassic Park" exceeded 200 million copies, and has been on the US annual best-selling list for ten consecutive years. It is the world's highest-selling science fiction novel!
Now there is still a long way to go from that number, but Lin Han can still retain hope. After all, if it will be sold in the next ten years, it will only be a matter of time to accumulate after 100 million.
It is obviously impossible to sell 100 million copies at once. Even today's "Jurassic Park" has only been translated into 12 languages and has not become popular all over the world in the true sense!
For example, many countries have no translation in official languages, and readers there can only buy common English versions to read novels, but not everyone is willing to read English versions, and many people's English level is actually not high.
If there is a suitable language version, they will burst out with amazing purchasing power, and translation is not a matter of one or two days.
...
On the streets of Copenhagen, Denmark, Jefferson, a handsome young man who had just walked out of the cinema, said to his friends: "This movie is so shocking. All we saw before were so ugly!"
Victor Gary nodded in agreement, "This is what Steven should be. He was not good at shooting biopics in the past few years."
"Actually, I didn't understand something. It is said that the effect of imax is higher. Otherwise, we will check out the imax version tomorrow!"
Jefferson suggested that he had been completely fascinated by this movie. In fact, for ordinary audiences, this level of science fiction movie is almost the most amazing thing they have ever seen.
"I have this idea too. Hey, do you think the dinosaurs in "Jurassic Park" were dinosaurs from tens of millions of years ago?" Victor asked while riding his bicycle.
This idea has always been lingering in his mind and he can't get an answer.
Copenhagen is the bicycle capital of the automobile era, and cycling has become a trend. With the flat terrain and a large number of bicycle paths, it is said that the number of bicycles is several times that of its residents!
These knights skillfully traveled through the streets and alleys, leaving behind figures.
Faced with Victor's problem, Patton said, "It should be true. Since it is a cloned dinosaur, it must be similar to the original dinosaur."
Jefferson gave a different view, "There are no two identical leaves in the world, and people will never step into the same river in their lives. Even if these dinosaurs are cloned, the movie mentions the incomplete repair of these dinosaur DNA, and scientists say they have to manually fill the gaps in the chemical structure sequence themselves. It's like, what's going on?"
Jefferson couldn't remember the adjective for a moment, but Victor's eyes glowed slightly, "The Dinosaur's DNA is like a photo of PS, which is basically the same as the original one, but has been repaired in some places."
"Hey, these dinosaurs are artificial creatures that can be upgraded like software. We can constantly transform them according to our needs, such as not allowing them to escape or breed on their own." Patton recalled the plot in the movie.
"Life will find its own way out!" The three of them looked at each other and started to speak in unison.
Jefferson looked at the bookstore next to the bicycle path. There were several posters of Jurassic Park posted at the entrance of the bookstore. He suggested, "Why don't we buy a book and go back to read it? You can't pause when watching movies. At least we can find some clues from the novel."
Patton immediately responded: "Great suggestions! I just want to see it."
The three of them immediately parked their bicycles on the side of the road, then pushed open the door of the bookstore and walked in.
At this time, the bookstore was quiet, with bookshelf neatly placed, and there were almost no one inside. The boss was wearing reading glasses and was looking down at the book. After hearing footsteps, he did not look up. He was completely immersed in the world of books.
Victor pulled Jefferson's sleeve, pointed to a stack of books not far away and said, "Finished, that's what we want."
"Look, there are special comments next to it!" Patton pointed to the small blackboard and said, not knowing whether it was distributed by the bookseller or the slogan written by the boss himself. In short, he was quite moved.
"As the pioneering work of dinosaur culture, this book constructs the public's understanding of dinosaurs, setting off an unprecedented, interesting and global dinosaur craze. As a science fiction novel, the genetic engineering and mathematical theories involved in the book are realistic, and the reflection on the relationship between human behavior, scientific and technological inventions and natural ecology makes people think. "Jurassic Park" is the most technologically valuable thriller novel to date and the most erect science fiction novel!"
The three of them each picked up a book and were not in a hurry to go out to ride a bike. Instead, they walked to the small table beside the bed and sat down, intending to read it here.
Jefferson couldn't wait to open the book, wanting to see if the novel, which is known as the originator of global dinosaur culture, would solve the questions they had discussed before!
Page after page, Victor and Patton completely forgot about paying, and the owner of the bookstore did not come to urge him. Everything was so quiet that everyone was deeply attracted by the content in front of him.
"We don't want these animals to survive in the wilderness and make them dependent on lyacid. I added a gene that produces a unique and defective protein metabolism. The consequence is that these animals themselves cannot produce lyacid and must be ingested from the outside world.
If they cannot get enough food for lysine from the outside world, we usually take lysine tablets. They will fall into a coma within twelve hours and then die.
These animals are genetically engineered and cannot survive in the real world. They can only live in Jurassic Park. They have no freedom at all, they are purely our prisoners!”
Even later, Victor finally learned that there was no detailed description in the movie. Scientists in Jurassic Park controlled the chromosomes and controlled the reproductive environment inside the dinosaurs, making them all become female dinosaurs!
Thinking about it carefully, Jefferson rubbed his eyes when the lights were on. He had just looked at more than thirty pages in one breath. He looked at the sunset outside the window and said to his friends: "Hey, we have to go home. Let's go and pay."
After seeing these three identical books, the bookstore owner couldn't help laughing and said, "Give it, this is a movie coupon worth 10 kroner, and anyone who buys this book will give you one."
Chapter completed!
