Chapter 73 The Last Earthman
(Please recommend, please collect, thank you~~)
If you don’t have the opportunity, you will create opportunities yourself. Readers will also consider the price factor when buying e-books. Which one has more advantages than an e-book of $299?
The answer is naturally self-evident. Lin Han and Chen Jiaxuan’s approach is to expand the audience of novels. Anyway, discounts and promotions are coming one after another. This time it lasts for a week, and when will it be the next time?
On the side of Random Bookstore, Qin Jun was a little frustrated. He didn't have much time to be rejected, especially by a new author.
So at this moment, he began to look for a Chinese science fiction novel, hoping to find a replacement that could surpass Lin Han, and using facts to prove that choosing Random House is the right choice.
"Don't think about these things for now. Focus on writing novels. Writers have to speak with their works." Chen Jiaxuan patted Lin Han's shoulder, and she turned around and walked out by herself.
It is not that simple to publish English novels. In the past, Chinese literary publishing has been in the dilemma of translation and subject matter, and it is difficult to reproduce overseas and have a prosperous situation of selling well in China and selling for a long time. Most foreign publishers have always been cautious and conservative about Chinese literary works.
If the novel "I, Robot" is published, it will become a long-lasting gold mine and can continue to make money slowly. After all, classics will never be outdated. For example, Garcia Marquez's "One Hundred Years of Solitude" is still in the top ten sales list.
Lin Han stayed alone in the study. To be honest, he was a little angry and felt underestimated. This is a work that has experienced various reputation and box office tests on earth. Isn’t it an insult to give me this price?
Apart from the money for novel publication, "I, Robot" is the main function of "I, Robot" to help Lin Han lay the foundation for a science fiction master so that he can be included in the history of the development of science fiction novels.
After calming down, he turned on his computer and prepared to read the news to relax his brain. The Weibo post was very lively, and the news of a male star publicly fighting against the actress was in full swing.
Lin Han’s fans are constantly urging updates as before, and even the party’s power is getting bigger and bigger, and they are almost occupying his Weibo.
"Master, the Chinese New Year is coming soon, there is no entertainment. Otherwise, you can send out the newly written part first. I am willing to subscribe to the amount of it."
"It's been a long time since the last time I exposed my new book plan. If I don't work hard to write a book, the end of being hung up and beaten by readers."
"Little author, I won't update the article. I picked up my two ears and cut my artery and vein. It's so cute!...Little author, please update the article quickly, otherwise we will do the same!"
"Oh, I didn't expect that there were blades here, but I think Lin Han's face was too thick and he couldn't even cut the blades."
"Daily urge for updates, it's noisy!"
"Rational urges to update and chasing books reasonably, expressing my desire to know how to survive on Mars. If you don't write it out, you will be taken first by others!"
...
Lin Han always felt very satisfied after seeing these comments. Writers who read the readers are truly popular, but the chapter of "Martian Rescue" has only been written in Chapter 5. It can only be printed after writing it and will not be exposed in advance.
But so many people are waiting for their works, so it is a good idea to find something for them to do, divert their attention, or publish a short story.
Short science fiction novels have a lot of inventory in Lin Han’s mind, whether it is Liu’s “The Dao of the Morning”, “Bring Her Eyes”, “The Wandering Earth”, or Liu Wenyang’s “One Day Prison”, and He Xi’s “The Sad One”.
Lin Han is a lazy person at heart. He was originally writing novels and had to start a pit and write a short story. Wouldn't that be even more troublesome?
So he began to search for shorter novels in his memory, but when he thought about it, he suddenly laughed. What else could be shorter than this novel?
The full text is only 25 words in Chinese, but it is indeed a complete and suspense science fiction novel. "The last person on earth sat alone in the room, and suddenly a knock on the door..."
It is said that at this time, a world-renowned micro-fiction novel written by the famous American science fiction writer Vladik Brown was a mystery about the author's honor or past history.
But many people have been tirelessly starting to continue writing this novel because the topic is so interesting, like an ultimate puzzle, which makes people flock to it, thus giving birth to many interesting and talented sequels.
Although there is only one sentence, it also has the characteristics of a novel. As for the three elements of the novel, there are characters (one person), plots (one person sits alone, and you still hear knocking on the door), and environment (only in a room with only one person).
Science fiction focuses on science fiction, and its most prominent feature is its ability to exaggerate, create suspense, and set free and broad associations and imagination thinking space for readers.
These 25 words can prompt readers to pursue the matter. There are too many questions to explore. Why is there only one person left on the earth? Where have the others gone? Did the immigrants move to the other planets, or are they all dead?
Since there is only the last person left on Earth, who is knocking outside? Is it a human, a robot or an alien?
What did the Earthlings react after hearing the knock on the door? Will he choose to open the door?
If the door is opened, what kind of scene will he see? How will the story develop in the end?
A series of questions will be that every reader has rich and broad associations. If there are a thousand readers, there will be a thousand Hamlets, and there will be a thousand stories about "the last man on the earth".
Lin Han even began to fantasize about what would happen if one day there was really only one person on Earth, and when he was reading this shortest science fiction work in humans at home, what would it be like? Was this person slowly raised his head, turned his neck, or was stunned and froze?
This novel has been written for a long time and has even appeared on many test questions.
In just two lines of words, one paradox after another. No matter how you think about it, you feel that it is an unreasonable and reasonable contradiction. After a round, the last person on earth could only be the author. He opened the door and welcomed the readers.
The author has a lot of thoughts, readers have given countless answers, and all guesses are correct.
He quickly entered the story into Weibo, then clicked on Post, and then closed the Weibo, allowing readers to guess the answers themselves. I believe that no one will urge them to update in the next few days.
Chapter completed!
