Chapter 585

"Charlotte's Net" is intensively summoning translators to translate the English version. Penguin Publishing Group, which is responsible for the sale of the English version, is also an old friend of Lin Han.

They have been working together since Lin Han’s first novel, and both parties have made a lot of profits, so they really want to maintain this cooperative relationship!

Except for the English version, the other versions of novels are also planned. If the works are released earlier, they will occupy the sales high ground earlier.

In fact, each of Lin Han's novels has many different versions. The cheapest paperback versions of the simplified Chinese type books alone, slightly better hardcover versions, collectible versions, limited editions for pretentious purposes, and bilingual Chinese and English versions, etc.

Generally speaking, how many tens of thousands of copies a book sells is about the total sales volume, most of which are paperback versions. After all, few people spend money to buy expensive versions!

The books that were officially launched in March have now started pre-sale ten days in advance, which is undoubtedly the most eye-catching thing.

People are curious whether this fairy tale will create Lin Han’s cross-border miracle or become Waterloo, everything is spoken of by sales!

...

In the movie studio, Lin Han was wearing headphones and was staring at the shooting materials for hundreds of hours on the display screen in front of him. Sometimes there are more than twenty versions of the shooting materials for the same scene.

He wants to choose the most suitable, comfortable and closest to the front and back of these versions to edit, and try not to show any misleading scenes.

Lin Han didn't expect that he would spend so much time on the "Matrix" series of movies. He actually wanted to make the other movies!

Doing things must be done with beginning and end. The water you enters your head must also be done by yourself.

However, movies are never something that can be done by one person. There are already many employees in the studio. They are responsible for film color tuning, production of subtitles, sound effects, visual effects editing, computer animation knowledge, digital synthesis, background and character scanning, 3D artist coordination, archive management, etc.!

In fact, there are more staff at the shooting site, and more than a dozen makeup artists have hired, as well as special makeup. Large productions are more than small productions in these aspects.

When "The Matrix" was released, the list of producers at the end of the film was played for a full five minutes, which was completely different from the small fights of "Immortality".

"Oh, when will it be the end!"

Lin Han couldn't help but sigh. He was already dazzled by the materials and needed a rest urgently.

Yan Hong, who was coming in with a cup of coffee, couldn't help but say after hearing the boss's complaints: "Boss, "The Matrix 3" will not be released at least ten months or nine months later, so you can relax."

Lin Han took a sip of coffee, he stood up from the chair and replied, "It's easy to finish breakfast, I need a break. Have I ever had any activities for me to participate in recently?"

As Lin Han’s assistant, Yan Hong immediately reported: “There are many activities, such as tree planting activities, which is very suitable for you.”

"Why am I more suitable for planting trees? Is my personal image more suitable for charity?" Lin Han couldn't help laughing. He felt quite good.

After spending a long time with Lin Han, Yan Hong also knew that his boss was very easy to talk to and had no generation gap, so he simply complained: "This is not the case, mainly because your novels have been sold too much. These physical books are made by cutting down trees and making paper. Before, environmentalists were very dissatisfied with you, so participating in afforestation activities are very suitable for you!"

Lin Han really has no room for refutation for this reason.

Among his sales of more than 50 million copies in China, these are the sales volume of physical books, and electronic version sales are calculated separately!

How huge is the printing volume of 50 million books?

So many prints will inevitably consume a lot of resources. The production of one ton of paper requires cutting down more than 20 big trees, while one ton of paper can print 20,000 A4 sheets.

Any book is hundreds of pages, which means that no more than a hundred books are printed on a ton of paper. You can imagine how much tree resources Lin Han’s works have consumed in the past few years.

To produce one ton of cultural paper, more than 20 trees with a age of 20-40 years are required to consume 100 tons of clean water, 600 kWh of electricity, 1.2 tons of coal and 300 kilograms of chemical raw materials, and at the same time, 300 tons of high-concentration sewage are generated...

Lin Han never considered this matter at all. He thought that the trees used for printing were all fast-growing forests that could grow and cut down in a few years.

Although everyone is promoting green reading and electronic reading, paper physical book reading has now begun to slowly recover after a significant decline in the previous few years!

"In the future, our foundation may have another project, and invest money in afforestation, otherwise your conscience will not be able to afford it."

Just imagine, when you are curled up leisurely on a comfortable table and chair, enjoying tea next to the stove, and using the new book in the paper that you bought recently online or Xinhua Bookstore, someone reminds you next to you how many trees and resources the book is made of. This feeling is very bad!

However, the green reading advocated by some environmentalists now has not received any response from writers because these people ask readers to borrow books from the library, or buy a book and pass it on to each other.

This greatly harms the interests of writers. If everyone goes to rent books and borrow books to read, who will buy books?

Don’t writers even sell books, how can they live?

Even Lin Han couldn't take the blame to call on readers not to buy books. Everyone rents, borrows, and buys electronic versions.

This is an industrial chain, not something he can decide alone!

So Lin Han had to do it himself and plant more trees.

After all, fast-growing forests are not a good thing. Although the short-term economic benefits of fast-growing forests are very good, they will destroy the ecology in the long run and the land fertility will be sucked out.

After several rounds of rapid-growing forests, all the surrounding environment was destroyed, and it was called a matter of being a matter of being absent from the descendants by industry insiders!

For a moment, Yan Hong didn't expect the topic to be so serious. They knew about these things before, but subconsciously ignored them and felt that they were not their own business.

"Help me pick up this event, and communicate with those electronic channels to get their best recommendations. Even if you give in, you can give in to some benefits."

Lin Han doesn’t have much to do. He would rather make less money than hope that he will not be the target of condemnation!

Now that the pre-sale of "Charlotte's Network" has just begun, the pre-sale volume of paperback versions has soared, and there is no sign of stopping at all.
Chapter completed!
