Chapter 777 Brand New Field
"By the way, after you interrupted this, I almost forgot the serious matter."
Lin Han called Zhao Han not for the star selection of the Writers Association. He said, "I wrote a new book a few days ago. Think about when it will be published for me!"
Zhao Han's eyes shone slightly, Lin Han is the money tree of their publishing house. He welcomes new books whenever he releases new books. What he most wants is to promote Lin Han's new books every month, so that he can win the monthly sales champion under his publishing house.
Of course, this is just a delusion. When Lin Han created the most frequently, he only published eight books in a year, two of which were on sale at the same time!
"What book? Have you written "Jurassic Park 2"?" Zhao Han was extremely happy. Although the sales of "The Fall of Hyberian" won the championship, it was a lot worse overall, and he wanted more.
However, Lin Han shook his head and said, "I wrote this fairy tale."
Zhao Han was stunned and he responded blankly, "You heard it right, why did you write this fairy tale?"
"What's wrong with fairy tales? Do you look down on this type?" Lin Han asked back.
"I didn't say that. I just think you have a big span. I thought you were going to get the sequels of those novels, but I ended up putting together a fairy tale."
Lin Han also felt a little moved. He had never thought about writing this book. "When I flew back to Yanjing from Los Angeles, a little girl next to me asked me to tell her a story. As a result, she felt tired of listening to the other stories, so I thought about this."
Originally, Lin Han didn't think about making progress in the past fairy tales. There are already a lot of readers, and the tasks in front of him are also very heavy.
But since the story has been told, let more children hear this story!
"So that's the case, then I have to thank that little girl. What exactly does this story tell?" Zhao Han is also a child. Although he is busy with work, he still often reads books with his children and tells stories to his son.
"The title of the book is "Charlotte's Web". The protagonist is a piglet named Wilbur. Its spider friend is called Charlotte. Simply put, Charlotte uses his own spider web to help Wilbur become famous so that it will not be slaughtered. It is a story of friendship. If you have the specific content, you can go and take a look at it yourself."
Zhao Han agreed readily, "Okay, please send it to my email. I asked Lao Lin from the children's group to follow up on this novel. To be honest, if your new book is still science fiction, no matter how well you write, you dare not say the sales of 5 million, but there is no problem at all. But now, I have no idea about fairy tales."
This is true. Lin Han’s readers recognize his works, but the fairy tales are different and the audience is completely different!
Lin Han is a master in the fields of teenagers and adults, but his previous works have no foundation in the field of fairy tales.
Fairy tales have always been firmly controlled by classic works. On the annual children's book list, those classic works will always be ranked first!
Every year, publishing houses republish those classic fairy tales in different ways, changing the covers and pictures, but the content of the story has not changed at all.
"Ansserson Fairy Tale" alone has dozens of versions sold on the market at the same time, but they all sell well!
Lin Han also knew that he had entered a completely different field of reader audiences.
He has transformed into writing romance novels, such as "The Wife of the Time Traveler". This romance novel still has some science fiction elements, and the reader group has only gone from male readers to female readers.
You should know that Lin Han’s previous book “Bouquets for Algernon” also has many female readers, and he also has a group of fans online, which is not a pure transformation at all!
These days, fewer and fewer writers have written fairy tales because they can’t see any hope of making a name for themselves.
Because the top of the list has always been firmly occupied by classic fairy tales, most of the fairy tales we are familiar with were born many years ago.
If you really want to remember, who can tell two fairy tales born in the 21st century?
People all know that children’s money is the best to make, and children’s books are also a relatively prosperous category in the entire book market.
"Anyway, it's up to fate to do everything. I think this story is good. Whether readers like it depends on their own ideas."
This is what Zhao Han needs. He is worried that if Charlotte's Net has a bad reputation and sales, Lin Han's mentality will collapse.
Now it seems that Lin Han is a sensible person, so he feels relieved!
...
After Zhao Han hung up the phone, he searched in his email.
Sure enough, an encrypted document appeared. After he unlocked the work according to the password Lin Han said, he asked the assistant to call the person in charge of the children's group over.
Renmin University Press is responsible for many types, but fairy tales are not the publisher's strengths. They mainly focus on various works and rely on the huge resource background of Renmin University. They are like fish in academic fields such as philosophy, law, theoretical economics, political science, and education. Because Lin Han has become a holy place for publishing science fiction novels.
"Mr. Zhao, I just heard Zhou Yu say you are looking for me?" Lin Yongfeng sat on the chair anxiously. He felt like he was playing with a stimulus in his heart, thinking that the classification performance he was responsible for was too poor and was about to be banned.
Zhao Han looked at Lin Yongfeng's nervous look and comforted him, "Don't be nervous, I'm here to assign you an important task today. Lin Han, do you know?"
Lin Yongfeng finally felt a little relieved, just don’t fire himself. He nodded quickly: “Of course I know, he is a great person!”
"Lin Han just wrote a fairy tale, and our publishing house also needs such a fairy tale. You are responsible for following up on everything about this fairy tale. In addition, Lin Han has never written a fairy tale. If there is any problem in it, you need to negotiate with him in detail to avoid touching the mines."
"My?" Lin Yongfeng couldn't help but tremble. He thought he was going to be fired, but he didn't expect that a pie fell from the sky now!
The editor’s name will also be attached to the information of the novel publication’s works. Lin Yongfeng has never made a best-selling fairy tale in his life, and now the opportunity has emerged!
Even though he had doubts about the fairy tale written by Lin Han, he completely patted his chest and said, "No problem, I promise to complete the task."
Chapter completed!
