Chapter 674 World Science Fiction Film Festival
"Boss, since the recent sales rankings came out, others have given you a nickname, from God of Wealth to the Fortune Cat. It is said that many newcomers want to provide your photos, and they think you can bless their new books to become popular without losing."
After Lin Han heard the words of his assistant Xie Xin, a black thread couldn't help but burst into his head. What's the matter? Isn't it too exaggerated?
Xie Xin looked at Lin Han's twitching lips, and she quickly talked about the important matter: "Hunan Technology Publishing House has made up for the right to use your name, and there are also many publishers who want to contact you."
Although it is a certain fact that Lin Han recommends Hawking's book in "The Reader", it is printed on the cover of the novel, so a certain copyright fee is required. This fee is not high, and sometimes it can be free.
For example, Lin Han also wrote a recommendation on the cover of Li Wenyuan's novel "Breaking Out of the Mother Universe", but that was his personal relationship with the novel author and he did not need to pay this fee!
"Just give it to me. Remember to remind me to donate the money to our foundation in the name of novels." Lin Han didn't greedy for the money, but wanted to use it on the foundation to help others.
"I wrote it down. Boss, there are several other things. Many writers and publishers want you to recommend their works on Weibo, and some publishers even gave an advertising promotion fee of RMB 50,000. I probably found that there are other products that want you to advertise soft articles or something after counting."
Lin Han waved his hand quickly, and he refused and said, "I have refused all of you, so don't ask me about this kind of thing."
Xie Xin thought for a while, asked, "Then some other not-famous writers are recommending their books to you. They want you to see these works. Did these people refuse?"
In fact, Lin Han's life is quite busy. He wants to help others, but he doesn't want to be a bad person. He can help one person or a group of people.
"You can hand over all their manuscripts to Fantasy Times magazine. If there are works of appropriate quality, let them publish them in the magazine. It can not only help the magazine find excellent manuscripts, but also allow these young writers to use their talents!" Lin Han said, and couldn't help but like himself in his heart. This solution is really good.
He hasn't paid attention to his magazine for a long time. Recently, he has been making movies and writing novels, and he has no skills in his clones.
Xie Xin couldn't help but nodded, thinking that Lin Han's approach was indeed very good, "Then I'll contact the magazine now!"
"Talk about magazines, please help me take the sales statistics of each recent issue of the magazine to take a look."
Only part of the magazine "Fantasy Times" belongs to Lin Han, and the other part belongs to Li Wenyuan.
When they decided to take over the magazine that had been discontinued, they never thought that the magazine would make a profit. They just hoped not to lose too much!
I didn’t know that it is now so well and has almost become the leader of fantasy reading materials. The brands are constantly being launched, and more and more fantasy writers and great masters are coming to this magazine for books.
Now the threshold for "Fantasy Age" is getting higher and higher. It is not the kind of work that anyone can publish in the past. Every article is almost the best among the best!
So when Lin Han checked this report, he found that although he had no serialized his works, the sales volume of the magazine was still stable at about 2 million copies per issue, and he was self-sufficiency.
Even judging from this situation, Lin Han may get millions of dividends from the magazine this year. The money he invested in before has been earned back even the principal and profit!
"One day I will write a novel with my vest to see if it can be published. I won't write science fiction, try fantasy and magic."
Lin Han said to himself that he did not know which classic works exist in this world, and it would take time to compare them in detail before he could find out.
In addition, compared with science fiction, the number of fantasy works he watched in his previous life was limited, and most of them were relatively famous works, such as "The Lord of the Rings" and "The Song of Ice and Fire". When he came here, "The Song of Ice and Fire" had not yet ended. I don't know what the story would look like in the end!
This can only be regarded as a boring pastime for him. He is temporarily cared about and will start to do it when he gets bored one day.
In fact, reports and other aspects are similar to Lin Han. He is not a professional analyst. He can only look at the operation of "Fantasy Age" from the surface.
Since there is no problem, there is no need to pay too much attention!
Just as Lin Han was sitting in the office looking at the data leisurely, Xie Xin's voice rang through the phone, "Boss, Mr. Miao is here, do you have time now?"
"Let him come in."
After finally waiting for Lin Han to come to the company, Miao Hong came over to visit and talk about serious things.
When he pushed open the door, he found that his young boss was sitting leisurely on the chair, so Miao Hong said, "Boss, the last time I saw you, I was on CCTV programs. You have to come to our company to show off, otherwise the new employees won't know you."
Lin Han made a gesture to Miao Hong sit down. He responded with a smile: "No wonder I have many strange faces in the company today. So that's it. What's going on today?"
"I came here for the promotion of "The Matrix". Now Twentieth Century Fox said that we want to attend this year's World Science Fiction Film Festival and start to gain a reputation there. Maybe we can also get the final ticket to this year's Saturn Award."
When Lin Han sent the movie to the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television for final review, he also handed over the English version of "The Matrix" to 20th Century Fox, so that the employees and leaders in charge of the industry could see the quality of the film!
Although Lin Han was not on the scene, he heard that almost all the employees of the department praised him unanimously, and even listed this work as a key promotional target for February next year, adding another $5 million in publicity funds. The box office in North America is very promising!
"It's only November. If the Matrix went to attend that World Science Fiction Film Festival, wouldn't it be exposed in advance? This is not mysterious at all. If the source is leaked, it would be even worse!"
Lin Han’s concerns are not unreasonable. If you start to promote the movie on a large scale now, it will get too early. When it is released, the audience’s boiling blood may have cooled down.
Miao Hong said with his fingers: "Actually, it's almost the same now. The publicity in North America has already begun to be laid out. At least the poster of "The Matrix" is presented in various parts of the United States, and it is said that there are big moves later. If you go to this film festival and win an award, it is also a reflection of the quality of the film. Do you think "The Matrix" has no advantages?"
"How is that possible! "The Matrix" is definitely the best science fiction film, no matter where it is placed!" Lin Han retorted directly, he was confident enough in his novels and movies!
"That's all. Go and try it, just treat the film festival as the preview of the movie. Fire the first shot!"
Generally speaking, commercial blockbusters will hold audiences, theaters, and media previews. The business side takes this opportunity to collect audience surveys and evaluations, and also allows the media to do a good job of publicity, and theaters will schedule films based on the quality of the film.
Lin Han did not let go, and he asked with concern: "What's going on with this film festival?"
With so many film festivals at home and abroad, Lin Han is familiar with only three major European ones: Berlin, Cannes, Venice, and perhaps Tokyo is added.
"In fact, in addition to these, there are many professional film festivals in the world, such as the Class A film festival, which includes 15, and there are also independent film festivals like the Sundance Film Festival. The World Science Fiction Film Festival we are talking about is specifically aimed at science fiction movies, and it is also well-known in the industry!"
In fact, there are many science fiction film festivals of all sizes. In addition to world science fiction movies, there are also science fiction film festivals such as the American Ra Science Film Festival and Miami London.
This film festival has been founded for 25 years and is held in different countries and cities every year. Each time lasts for eight days. The films displayed must be mainly science fiction films!
The theme of the film festival is to find the mystery of science in the staggered films.
Although the themes of the works exhibited are science fiction, their works are actually quite diverse, including documentaries, experimental movies and data visualization movies. It is difficult to accurately judge which movie is a science fiction movie.
Science fiction movies do not have a well-recognized accurate definition. In fact, science fiction movies can be regarded as a derivative of science fiction literature!
Science fiction movies around the world have a variety of themes and different forms and interests. According to the intersection of science fiction films and other genres, science fiction films are actually divided into many sub-genres, such as adventure films about adventure, travel adventure films, science fiction action films with extraordinary protagonists, grand interstellar wars and epic cosmic political blockbusters, imaginary alien invasions, monster attacks, natural disasters or virus transmission disaster films, and there is also a combination of science fiction and myths.
Basically, there are as many types of movies as there are, so many types of science fiction movies!
If it is a comedy movie, then after adding science fiction elements, it is a science fiction comedy. Therefore, this World Science Fiction Film Festival still pays a lot of attention in this field.
What's more, it has another innovation, that is, the audience will not know any information about the film before entering the screening hall, and know that the big screen will light up!
A new week, a new beginning, five hundred votes for the old rules, the author was ready to explode early in the morning!
