(This chapter adds an update to the 100-month ticket, and you can do what you say!)

The seven-limbed barrel is probably the most unique alien. Although they look terrible, they treat humans very well, and they have a gentle and cute feeling.

Han Xuelin felt a little broken by just looking at Lin Han’s description. I really don’t know what kind of painful torture the first person to learn English has experienced!

The most exciting part of the story is here. Language affects people's thinking patterns and in turn affects how people perceive the world.

The way humans perceive time is linear, and their thinking slowly moves forward with the timeline, recalling the past, perceiving the present, and knowing nothing about the future!

The way the seven-limb buckets perceive is simultaneous. They write a passage like drawing a painting. When they fall the first stroke, they already know where the last stroke should fall, and spell out a passage like a puzzle.

The past, present, and future are just spread in front of them. After controlling this kind of thinking, the heroine Qiao Yu has the ability to predict the future!

She foresaw her daughter’s life in advance, and saw in her mind that her daughter was born, she learned to speak, grew up, passed her adolescence, and died in a rock climbing accident.

In fact, whether it is science fiction novels or science fiction movies, the real challenge they face is the unpredictability of the future. We humans will never truly understand the thinking of those aliens because the gap between us is too big!

Faced with these difficulties, the novel "Arrival" gives humans some inspiration. Even if humans cannot know everything, and even if the communication between humans and aliens is not perfect, people can learn to overcome these interstellar cultural obstacles and explore interstellar culture!

After Han Xuelin read the short story of tens of thousands of words, he looked at the magazine and thought about it. This is indeed a very attractive work he has read. Everyone's future seems to be an established destiny.

Throughout history, the most tragic thing among various literary works is the struggle with the inescapable fate.

Suddenly he felt that the reason why humans feel happy is because they do not understand their own destiny and are actually lucky to live in ignorance!

If you know that your future will be a tragedy, can you still be happy now?

"If I don't know, I would think that Teacher Lin is a female author. This woman has a very good grasp of her thinking!"

The ending of the novel is that the heroine Qiao Yu figured it out. Even though she knew that the future ending was disillusionment, she still chose to experience the happiness and beauty in it.

The whole novel describes the daughter's sweetness and pride as a mother always reveals the sweetness and pride of being a mother. Lin Han does not describe any details of the heroine's ex-husband's divorce, and she is not even willing to remember her ex-husband's new love.

What she pursues is the feelings that this experience of being a mother in her life brings to her!

Whether it is unknown or known, it is definitely right to love life!

After reading Lin Han's works, Han Xuelin thought about communicating with his friends, and he always had some thoughts in his heart that he couldn't speak up.

...

The bookstores and newspaper booth owners in Longxi University Town have bought a lot of goods outside. They have enough confidence in Lin Han's works, and this magazine will definitely sell well.

In the past, dozens of works related to Lin Han could be sold early in the morning, but today Peng Yu only sold five or six books, which was no different from usual!

"What's going on today? Is it because the New Year's Day holiday that these students are sleeping in?"

Peng Yu said to himself that he was an ordinary newspaper booth here, and he usually sells newspapers, periodicals, magazines, drinks, tobacco and alcohol.

Although selling magazines can’t make a lot of money, it’s better than doing nothing.

There were many pedestrians passing by, but not many people stopped to buy magazines!

He walked to the stall in front of the cigarette, put Fantasy Times magazine in the most conspicuous position, and looked at it with some concern.

Because I was not worried about the sales of Lin Han and this magazine, I bought 50 books in one go, usually about 10 books!

But now he can't sell it anymore. Could it be that Lin Han is out of date?

Peng Yu was sucking and foggy. He began to worry whether his actions were too bold and radical. He was obviously in his fifties, but he did such a thing.

If the magazine cannot be sold, it will only be refunded 30% of it, and most of it will be ruined!

"Aren't you doing well before? Novels and movies sold so well. Why are they so miserable in magazines? Is it Xu Hong?"

Many old faces who often come to buy books did not come. This time, he probably suffered a lot. He couldn't help but want to scold Lin Han, and the few hundred dollars were gone!

Until noon, he only sold 8 copies, and the sales volume was really anxious.

So Peng Yu simply called another colleague in this area and started chatting, "Lao Gao, how are your sales today?"

"It's no different from usual, it's just like he's not alive." Gao Juncai asked, "Did you sell it very well?"

Peng Yu was not in the mood to joke. He sighed and said, "It's a big deal. I have bought fifty copies of "Fantasy Age" and told the dealer that he would send dozens of copies after printing. Now he has sold less than ten copies. Why do you think Lin Han's appeal suddenly fails? This is simply a scam!"

"I'm not much better either. I asked my grandpa to beg for grandma before to get eighty books. Fortunately, I didn't give me a hundred books, otherwise I would have sold them according to the current situation! The Yiyun Bookstore is also too much. They eat meat and don't even give us soup!"

Gao Juncai spitted a mouthful of phlegm, and he felt extremely unbalanced. Such a big bookstore actually snatched away all the main business belonging to the newspaper booth!

"What's wrong with Guan Yiyun Bookstore? Let's hear what's going on!"

"Do you know why "Fantasy Age" sells poorly today? It's not that Lin Han's appeal is not good, but Yiyun Bookstore directly cooperates with students from five or six schools in the university town. It is said that they bought 1,200 copies in one go, and they were all sold at the original price!"

The potential readers of "Fantasy Age" in the entire university town are almost the same number. Yiyun Bookstore has sold so many, no wonder these small bookstores and newsstands can't be sold!

Peng Yu hammered the table hard with his hand. He never expected that the reason for his poor sales was like this. Could it be that he really had to be rotten in his hands?

Gao Juncai continued on the other side: "Actually, we can still sell it slowly. They cannot take all the readers, but we cannot purchase the goods again."

"Oh, if you can sell it, burn the incense!"

As the sun came out in the afternoon, almost all parts of the country were getting sunny and good weather, and there were more and more pedestrians on the streets, and magazines were sold one after another.

...

On the first day of the magazine's launch, Fantasy Age sold more magazines than last month!

Magazines do not rely on publishing and publications, but very few people really rely on selling magazines to make money.

Because printing costs, circulation costs and necessary labor costs are quite high, the sales prices of these magazines can sometimes make up for the cost of being included in the magazine!

Now that everything is rising, the authors' manuscripts naturally need to increase their prices, otherwise why should others publish their works in this magazine?

For example, in "Fantasy Age", the remuneration of excellent manuscripts has increased to more than 1,000 yuan in words and 1,000 yuan. Although Lin Han is the boss, he still publishes his works in a business and gets a price of 20,000 yuan in words and 20,000 yuan.

In other words, his article "Arrival" has a total of 37,000 words, and the magazine will pay him 750,000 yuan in pre-tax remuneration!

The average manuscript remuneration of other authors is more than 500 yuan in a thousand words, and a novel can cost tens of thousands of words. The pressure of manuscript remuneration for magazines is actually quite heavy.

"Fantasy Age" cannot be like government journals such as "Tianya", "Bengya", "People's Literature", and "Selected Novels". Their magazines can all receive special funding from governments at all levels!

These money invested and tax incentives will save literary magazines a lot of money. Without government funds as subsidies, everything in "Fantasy Age" depends on itself.

For magazines, the most important source of income is corporate product advertising. These advertising fees are expensive, and there are many advertisements in each issue of magazines, which is inevitable!

The advertising prices of magazines vary according to the circulation and the reader group.

For example, aviation magazines, although the circulation is not particularly large, the reader group is all people who fly on planes. They have enough consumption capacity. Those who can advertise in this type of magazines are all relatively high-end products, so the prices will be very expensive!

Magazines like "Fantasy Age" have a very wide audience, especially young readers. With an average circulation of more than 2 million copies, advertising fees will not be easy.

Each issue of the magazine will recalculate the price, cover page, catalog page, ordinary single page, back cover, title page and other different positions, and the prices will naturally be different!

The price of the cover and back cover is the highest, reaching a terrifying RMB 700,000, and the cheapest place is 300,000 to 400,000. After an issue of a magazine, the advertising revenue can basically reach several million.

This is the magazine after becoming famous and developing. Ordinary magazines have to work hard to attract sponsorships and advertisers, and the prices are very cheap!

Therefore, every magazine hopes to sell itself well. The higher the average sales volume, the higher the price in advertising negotiations, and you get what you pay for.

The most advertising-worthy newspapers counted in the previous statistics were not in the top 25 journals. They earn 30 to 40 million yuan a year, but they cannot make it on the list.

Old-fashioned newspapers like People's Daily and Economic Daily can exceed 100 million in advertising sales every six months, easily crushing the Fantasy Age.

After all, newspapers need to be updated every day, and many of these magazines and journals are published only once a week, half a month or a month, so the disadvantage is quite great!

The main impact on the value of media advertising is three parts: the number of readers, the quality of readers and the competitive situation. Urban newspapers such as the Beijing News and automotive magazines, fashion, IT, and economic management magazines occupy a leading position.

According to the financial statements sent by Tan Lin to Lin Han, Fantasy Age's profit this year is 32 million yuan, which is like a miracle for a magazine that has been republished for less than two years!
