Chapter 720 The New Yorker and the Flash Mob

Lin Han’s readers are spread across seven continents and four oceans. Even in the cold and deserted Antarctica scientific research station, there are people reading Lin Han’s novels. Unfortunately, this book “Arrival” is only available in Chinese.

This is a big deal for foreign readers, who strongly demand that the magazines of their own country be able to reproduce and translate this novel!

Nature magazine has published several works by Lin Han, but because of the number of words in this "Arrival" is too many. If more than 30,000 words are translated into English, it may occupy more than ten or twenty pages of pages. This is definitely too many for a magazine that focuses on academic research.

Fortunately, at this time, the famous American science fiction magazine "****og" sent an application to "Fantasy Age" and Lin Han's agency. They wanted to introduce this novel and translate it themselves!

As one of the three major science fiction magazines in traditional history, ****og is translated into "Similar Body", a pioneering leader in science fiction genres, featuring short stories and science.

In Europe and the United States, science fiction has become synonymous with fantasy. Many science fiction magazines publish science fiction and fantasy novels at the same time. If you want to talk about spring science fiction magazines, then only "Similar Body" is left, which continues to stick to its own position!

Lin Han has also heard of this magazine. His works have been reprinted many times by veteran magazines such as "Similar Body", "Trail", "Science Fiction and Fantasy Magazine", "Light Years", "Daily Science Fiction", and "Edge of the Galaxy".

They laid an important mass foundation for Lin Han's popularity, otherwise it would be difficult for European and American readers to notice Lin Han's short stories.

Since there are now people who are willing to take the initiative to take the initiative to take the responsibility of translation, Lin Han is also happy, but he does not let go with all his power, but has the right to veto!

The English version of "Similar Style" must be read in advance by Lin Han. If there is any problem with the translation of the novel or is not qualified, Lin Han will not be able to hand over the inferior things to them for publication.

This is obviously a smashing one's own signature!

It is not easy for him to work hard all the way to this day. The more he stands at the peak, the more he should pay attention.

...

"I heard you are engaged? When will the wedding be held?"

Xu Jiayan sent a voice to Lin Han, and he also added Chen Jiaxuan's friend, so naturally he could see Chen Jiaxuan sending out the diamond ring on his finger before.

After Lin Han clicked on the voice play, he pressed the screen and replied: "I will definitely invite you, so you can prepare the red envelope with peace of mind."

"By the way, have you chosen your best man? I think I'm quite suitable!"

A person with a status like Xu Jiayan has almost never been a best man for others. He is now a national male god, a national actor, and the most handsome and sexy actor in the hearts of thousands of netizens. He can hold the actor with the left hand and the box office with his right hand, and is considered the most popular star recently.

Even if he went abroad to study, it did not affect his popularity at all. Instead, he improved his stature with a series of international big-name endorsements!

His fans are much more confident when fighting. How many stars can endorse luxury goods around the world?

Not to mention that he won several endorsements in a row with Xu Jiayan!

Anyone who can see hard advertisements overseas still has one hand left.

Facing Xu Jiayan's self-recommendation, Lin Han joked: "It's okay to be a best man, but you can't come alone at that time. At the same time, don't dress too handsomely, so as not to steal my limelight."

"This is a problem. If I don't look handsome, I'm afraid I have to put on special makeup. By the way, I'm recording a show in New York now, guess what I saw!"

As one of the starring actors of the movie "The Matrix" that can sweep nearly 300 million US dollars in North America, Xu Jiayan has embarked on a non-mainstream development path in Hollywood.

He did not shoot serious Hollywood blockbusters, but he was familiar with many movie fans and Hollywood industry insiders.

Therefore, he was invited to record the American national-level talk show "David Letterman Late Night Show", which is a trump card program of BS TV. It has a lot of viewers and a great influence. It is very important for Xu Jiayan, who wants to open up the Hollywood market!

Lin Han was indifferent and didn't want to know what this guy saw. "Let me tell you, it must be something interesting."

"When I passed by Times Square, I found a group of people playing "The Matrix" and played flash. I saw a lot of people recording videos. I guess someone has spread it online. You can see, there are hundreds of people, a very shocking scene. There are several screens on Times Square that are also playing advertisements related to the Matrix. This movie is really popular in the United States!"

"You only then did you know, otherwise the box office of 300 million US dollars was transformed out of thin air?"

Xu Jiayan defended himself and said, "In the past, I always read news and listened to reports, but I didn't have an intuitive feeling. Now when I came to the scene, the onlookers next to me could recognize me!"

This is definitely not an easy thing for Americans with advanced facial blind cancer. This is probably due to the fact that Xu Jiayan plays Agent Smith in "The Matrix" is too vivid and impressive.

"Okay, okay, I know you are very popular in the United States, so don't show off to me."

"Well, I just went off topic. What I want to say is not flash, but the New Yorker magazine I bought. It seems that your new book has just been released, and I saw the book review here. I will take a photo and send it to you immediately."

After saying that, a few photos were sent over via WeChat, and they saw that the photos were densely packed in English. The accompanying pictures turned out to be alien words from the seven-limb bucket drawn by Lin Han himself before!

These foreigners are so efficient!

Lin Han didn't bother to continue talking to Xu Jiayan. He enlarged the two pictures and then read them carefully.

...

The New Yorker is a comprehensive American knowledge and literature publication, mainly based on non-fiction works, including reports and comments on politics, international affairs, popular culture and art, technology, and business.

He also publishes some literary works, mainly short stories and poetry, with a high-quality writing team and a rigorous editorial style.

It is no exaggeration to say that "The New Yorker" has developed into a necessary part of New York society. If you want to enter the metropolitan social circle, then reading this magazine is enough!

At the cocktail party, a lot of the content people chat with came from "The New Yorker". People talk about whatever the magazine writes.

Since movies, drama and literature in the city of New York are important components of urban culture, the New Yorker’s comments on culture and art are very famous. Those who write comments on it are either writers or celebrities, and they are very authoritative!

There is no English version of "Arrival" at all, but "The New Yorker" actually invited a Chinese writer Tommy Chen to write a book review, which is probably the biggest recognition!

"It is obvious that short stories are in extreme danger now, and there has even been an arts council supporting short stories, in order to give this literary form greater influence and greater awareness.

In fact, short stories are important forms in science fiction, fantasy novels, and thriller novels.

There is a small rule in the literary world: If you have not published one or two novels, you cannot publish a collection of short stories!

Han Lin's short science fiction novel is very famous. His new work "Arrival" has clear and clear language, but not so touching. Sometimes it is dull, but it has a high concept.

Tommy Chen is a fantasy writer, but science fiction and fantasy are inseparable from the United States, so there is no problem asking him to evaluate Lin Han's science fiction novels.

What's more, this writer who immigrated to the United States since his parents had a deep research on Chinese culture, was able to use it fluently and read Chinese, so he was ahead of so many critics in the United States and was the first to see this novel!

Tommy Chen felt that his praise was lacking and he could not describe Lin Han's excellence at all. He never thought that such an outstanding and highly admired science fiction master would be born on the land of his hometown.

"In Lin's writing, science fiction has become an idea literature, and it emphasizes the most is a sense of wonder. Although some people read "Arrival" with a nostalgia for classic philosophical science fiction novels, this novel is not outdated!

The wonder of this story is that it has a modern and sad transcendence, rather than the innocent dreams in science fiction works in the 1950s.

More importantly, this novel embodies a kind of human wisdom. This wisdom communicates intimately with readers, which allows us to have an intuitive experience of the story and also feel Lin Han’s rational enthusiasm!

Language, mathematics and physics are elements in "Arrival" and are also narrative methods that attract readers. This is exactly what scares those fake literary experts in science fiction to make their faces turn pale.

This story is based on a profound humanistic spirit, so even the most profound philosophical conjectures can impress readers and resonate with them.

Without scientific conjectures, this story would not have warmth and surprisingly touching orgasm!"

After reading the contents of these photos, Lin Han breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the story of "Arrival" was not affected by his modification of the background.

In the original novel, the United States made great contributions, while China has become an important villain.

But here in Lin Han, the form has reversed!

Not only did the male and female protagonists become Chinese, but they also saved the world together. The United States shouted and fought and killed, becoming the perfect villain.

In fact, this is not a bad idea. I am afraid that Americans themselves know the nature of their government. Faced with spacecraft, they may be the first to declare war and launch missiles!

Lin Han did not expect any money to make a short story, but after he published it in "Fantasy Age", he received about 700,000 yuan in pre-tax manuscript fees. Now, plus the manuscript fees given by "Similar Style", this short story with more than 30,000 words actually brought him more than one million yuan in income!
