Chapter 721 Fanfiction
To be honest, Lin Han has seen a lot of flashlights, but usually it is related to other themes. He never expected that American fans would bring such a big surprise to him.
He didn't waste much time, and directly entered the words "Matrix Flash" on the search engine. After pressing the Enter key, a lot of related results appeared!
The initial flash refers to a group of people who are contacted through the Internet or mobile phones but do not know in real life. After gathering in a specific place and time, they will perform unexpected behaviors at the same time, and then quickly disperse.
Of course, the current large flashes are usually strictly rehearsed so that the movements are neat and beautiful, instead of standing together and dancing around the demons.
Lin Han clicked on a video and found that this video actually had more than 2 million clicks. The video titled "Times Square Matrix flashes, it turns out that it can still be played like this" took 5 minutes!
At the beginning of the video, Times Square was as prosperous as ever, and crowded as ever. Every passerby was walking in a hurry, only tourists from foreign countries stopped and looked around from time to time.
The big screen around the square is constantly changing with various advertisements. Lin Han even saw that the Sichuan Tourism Bureau used pandas to attract Americans to travel. This is simply a scheming. Who doesn’t know that foreigners love each other so much!
Everything in front of the camera looked so natural, no passerby felt anything strange, it was just an ordinary afternoon.
Who knew that when the theme song of "The Matrix" sounded, one handsome guy after another wearing black standing collar windbreaker and the same sunglasses in Neo appeared from the crowd from all directions, setting the passers-by in a hurry in place.
They all stopped and then stopped to watch. After all, flashing was not something that could be encountered at any time. Many viewers at the scene raised their phones and started shooting, wanting to see how these people were going to play!
Several Neo dressed up people appeared on the scene with dozens of Smith agents. They stood in a strict lineup, combining martial arts and dance, dancing with rhythm, and even added the plot.
The agents of the matrix wanted to arrest Neo, and Neo fought back and beat these agents to pieces!
With the exciting music and the fast and slow editing, this group of flash players really attracted attention, and more and more audiences gathered around!
This dance-like fight looked very cool, but it didn't last long. The music stopped in less than two minutes. The group of flashbacks suddenly took off their sunglasses, suits, and windbreakers, and then disappeared into the crowd.
They came and went in a hurry, and they wanted to meet each other. They appeared and disappeared so suddenly, which made the audience very surprised and couldn't help but applaud!
As a spontaneous action by fans, Lin Han copied the address of the video and posted it on his Weibo to share it with netizens.
"I found a very good flash video today, everyone can take a look."
After he posted it, he closed his Weibo, otherwise the successive reminders would cause him to collapse!
...
The New Year's Day holiday has ended, and Lin Han handed over the "The Fall of Heberian", which has been completed and revised several times to the Renmin University Press, so that they can slowly get busy with the rest of the matter.
For ordinary authors, submission and editor review process cost a lot of things, but when it comes to Lin Han, it is a green light all the way, and no editor dares to say that he is qualified to modify Lin Han's works!
They usually go through Lin Han's works directly, and at most they check whether there are any typos, or whether the punctuation marks are used incorrectly, or that a certain positive word is used as a derogatory word, and the context of a certain idiom is not normal.
This is actually all the details. In fact, Lin Han is now asking the publishing house to type, while his own agency contacts Painting Datou to make the covers and various illustrations of the novel!
The design of a book before printing is indispensable, and the book number required for publication must also be applied to the above. Printing is much simpler.
After this process, it is estimated that the Spring Festival will be over!
Publication of physical books is much more troublesome than serializing online. Online novels can be published in just a few thousand words. There is no need to pay attention to anything, and it is almost the same if there is a cover or not.
At least this time, Lin Han can have a relaxing Spring Festival, and you don’t have to worry about the box office of the movie, the sales of the novel, or the promotion!
The response from the Renmin University Press was very fast. Not long after Lin Han sent it, their general manager Zhao Han immediately called Lin Han.
"Teacher Lin, we have received the book. According to the current progress, the novel may not be available in early March!"
Originally, Zhao Han called him Lin Han and Xiaolin, but now he has followed the trend and called out Teacher Lin. As the money tree of the Renmin University Press, Lin Han has almost assumed most of his income and influence alone.
In the past, Renmin University Press was a weaker party in the publishing and sales fields. Many large chain bookstores and dealers always defaulted on the final payment or forced the books outside the contract to return them.
However, since Lin Han’s book became popular, it has been much easier to collect money!
In order to obtain new books in advance or on a large scale, some bookstores simply pay in full or sign zero return agreements, which greatly liberates the cash flow of Renmin University Press.
It also gives them the confidence to find more excellent authors to make appointments. Being rich means being confident. Which publishing house is not writing?
You must choose the one with high royalties and royalties!
The money you can get is useful!
Lin Han also knows his status. His royalties have reached their peak in China and are at the highest point in the entire industry. In order to renew his five-year contract with Lin Han, the publishing house plans to increase the royalties to 30%.
"Just as long as the quality of publishing is guaranteed, please follow your plan." Lin Han planned to take a vacation for himself and enjoy his life.
Zhao Han originally had a lot of things, and he said concisely: "I found that many works on the Internet are recreating based on your novels, and some fan works are even starting to make profits. Do you think it is necessary to let the law intervene and let them stop this infringement?"
"The more fan novels, the more popular our books are. There is no need to kill them all, just let them write them!" Lin Han was very open-minded and did not want to be a villain. Instead, he wanted to authorize everyone directly to let talented people create freely.
In fact, the copyright issue has become increasingly serious in recent years. Jin Daxia sued another well-known writer a few days ago, just because Jiangnan's debut works were based on many characters in Jin Daxia's novels!
In this way, many fan novels on the Internet quickly deleted or blocked themselves, and even some related unlimited streaming works were quickly modified, for fear of causing trouble.
Speaking of fan works, all countries and periods are no exception. The so-called fan novels refer to using existing novels, comics, film and television works to create novels in secondary creation!
According to this concept, the novel "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" in the Qing Dynasty started with "Water Margin", and "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is even considered a fan of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms".
The most profitable fan novel abroad is probably "Fifty Shades of Gray". This book full of adult feelings and erotic content was actually a fan novel from "Twilight" at the beginning!
The original "Fifty Shades of Gray" trilogy was created based on the male and female protagonists of "Twilight", but later, due to copyright reasons, the identity of the male and female protagonists was modified when the novel was published.
There are many fan novels on the Internet. For example, Lin Han’s latest work "The Matrix", there are actually many dirty girls writing fan works of Neo and Agent Smith, a pair of CPs, and many talented people seriously write sequels or reports!
For example, the fan of "Three-Body Problem" is much more serious, and there is even a special fan section in the forum of the Hanlin Academy for water for Lin Han's fans.
Like "The Three-Body Body 4: Song of the Weak", "The Past of the Earth 4: Hard Times", "The Three-Body Body 4: Dark Stars" and "The Three-Body Body", these are all direct plots that continue to write the Three-Body Body, and they use their brains.
"Galaxy Age": When the Three-Body Fleet meets a star observer from m78; "Interlaced Trajectory", the story begins with Yun Tianming and Ai Aa being trapped; the sequel to the past of the earth: "Seeds of Civilization"!
There are even the famous "I am your broken wall series", "Wall-faced man Snowden, I am your broken wall", "Wall-faced man Jin xen, I am your broken wall", "Wall-faced man Zhang Zhaozhong, I am your broken wall" and so on.
The reason why many original creators don’t like fan novels is largely because these fan novels block the road after the novel sequel, and wrote some of their ideas in advance, so that they could not write in that direction.
In addition, sometimes some fan novels simply recreate the characters, and the fujokovices match them up. When Neo fell in love with Agent Smith, such as Danmei novels, which are cute to them, but not so friendly to more people!
Even novels like "Jurassic Park" have fanfares, who are reborn as a velociraptor, conquered the overlord of the park, and then two dinosaurs successfully escaped from prison and lived a happy and fulfilling life.
The more outstanding Lin Han's works, the more fan novels there are, but he is not as afraid and hostile as other authors. This is probably because he was once a member of the readers and has tried every means to continue writing fan works.
Therefore, in the face of Zhao Han's problem, Lin Han directly refused, "Let them write it. Some of these stories are really good, and their brains and creativity are great!"
