Chapter 794 The dog bites Lu Dongbin
"Everyone says that family shame should not be made public, but we really have no choice. "Chen Chuhe feels that the editorial department is really in a mess. "Three years ago, our magazine was sold at the best-selling level of one million a month, but now it can't even guarantee that it will sell 300,000 copies per month. If this continues, the magazine will disappear!"
Lin Han didn't expect that his old boss would do so miserably. At that time, "Science Fiction World" was stimulated by his series of short stories and novels, and his monthly sales have been brilliant.
But later, "Science Fiction World" had a falling out with Lin Han and could no longer get any of Lin Han's works.
This is just secondary. The most important thing is the rise of "Fantasy Age". This magazine has snatched away too many readers who originally belonged to "Science Fiction World"!
The two magazines have some similar genres and a high overlap. However, "Fantasy Age" is inclusive. In addition to science fiction, there are also novels of fantasy, fantasy, and magic.
However, since the two great masters in the science fiction field are bosses, the science fiction sector in "Fantasy Age" is much more special. Not only readers trust it, but even science fiction authors are willing to submit their manuscripts here!
After all, it has a greater influence and is more likely to be noticed by publishers after the serialization of "Fantasy Age". At the same time, the manuscript fee is also higher. Who wouldn't want to come here if you get more money?
"Science Fiction World" is equivalent to playing a good hand into a bad card, and it will be no strange to go from an industry leader to an eliminated person in a few years.
This is probably because the head of the editorial department was too arrogant at the beginning, thinking that the writer would be finished if he left their platform. Before Lin Han, some writers had a quarrel with them, but they didn't make any contribution. Instead, they damaged their divine nature and ended up embarrassingly!
However, they did not realize the difference between Lin Han and those people. Lin Han's popularity is by no means false. He can be killed domestically and internationally and is not restricted by a magazine at all.
Instead, Lin Han used his novels to gather readers and other authors, making "Fantasy Age" sales more and more stable.
He has not released his work on "Fantasy Age" for a long time, but the sales of this magazine have not declined, and it has already had a fixed reader!
Back to the point, after listening to Chen Chuhe's words, Lin Han sighed and replied: "Then what can I do? This decline cannot be reversed by myself. I am just an ordinary writer, not a god, nor a God."
"I also know that this is a bit difficult, but I have to try it. If you don't explode in silence, you will perish in silence! So I want to ask you to publish a work in our magazine, whether it is a long or a short story, as long as it is a new work."
Lin Han also heard Chen Chuhe's determination. He immediately had an idea, "In theory, I want to agree to you immediately, but this matter has a great impact. I have to discuss it. How about calling you to reply in ten minutes?"
"No problem, you think carefully." Chen Chuhe was not aggressive either. He used favors once and once. He didn't want to ask Lin Han for help.
...
After hanging up the phone, everyone in the editorial department looked at Chen Chuhe, and the direct descendant Wang Yifan, who was brought by him, asked the question everyone wanted to know the most.
"Master, how about it? Did he agree?"
If we count it, Wang Yifan was the first to see Lin Han’s work. At that time, he was just an internship, but he had already become a regular employee.
Chen Chuhe looked here, shrugged and said, "I don't know yet, I will understand after ten minutes."
"Lin Han is too ungrateful. Our magazine has discovered him and made him famous. As a result, he drew a clear line with us after he became popular. It's really not a thing!"
An editor wearing glasses said indignantly. He looked very angry, and the anger on his face seemed as if Lin Han had really done something angry and resentful.
Chen Chuhe frowned, and he did not make any sense, and directly replied, "Zhang Zhenfeng, you'd better be careful, Lin Han doesn't owe us anything. His willingness to help is affection, and not help is duty. The word ungrateful is not used on him!"
"Do you want to please him like this? After our magazine collapses, you can just turn jobs and go to work in "Fantasy Age"?" Zhang Zhenfeng sarcastically. He probably wanted to give up. "I really said that. Who told him to publish his novels when he was scolded the most? If it weren't for our magazine, Lin Han would be the bad movie director who was scolded so much. How could he become a science fiction master like now? And even went to Oscars for a walk."
"It's really unreasonable! At the beginning, we and him all took their own needs. He became famous and made money, and our magazine sales increased. Why is it that he alone makes a profit?"
Chen Chuhe looked at the people in the editorial department with some disappointment. None of them stood up to speak out for Lin Han. Perhaps they all had the same idea as Zhang Zhenfeng, thinking that Lin Han's success cannot be separated from their help.
The sales of magazines are getting worse and worse. Instead of seeking measures to solve the problem, these people attribute the reason to Lin Han and complain about the world!
His heart was a little cold, and he was really ashamed to be with them. Lin Han's strength was here. Even if there was no science fiction world, there would be other magazines, at most, only a few months later.
...
At this time, Lin Han called Tan Lin, editor-in-chief of Fantasy Times magazine, and he wanted to consult his opinion here.
"Old Tan, are you busy now? I have something urgent to ask you to consider, you have to help me."
Tan Lin didn't expect that Lin Han would actually speak in this tone, "Then tell me, I'll listen!"
Lin Han was very troubled when he thought of this. Chen Chuhe and Wang Yifan had to repay their favors, but "Fantasy Age" had its own shares and went to snipe its own magazine. What's this called it!
"This is the thing. I just called the science fiction world and wanted me to go to their place to publish a novel, saying it was to save sales. What do you think I should do, and do you want to go?"
Tan Lin was a little gloating when he heard this. "Fantasy Age" had just resumed publication, but "Science Fiction World" came to snipe himself as a best-selling magazine with a monthly sales of one million yuan. Now it deserves this end.
But he couldn't say this in front of Lin Han. Tan Lin replied simply: "The science fiction world is indeed not easy now. It is said that it is divided into two factions to fight. Chen Chuhe wants to reform, but he has just been promoted to deputy editor-in-chief. He has a slight word and can't do anything at all! There are many people in the other stubborn people, so they want to keep their old foundation. Even if you publish a novel, it will not affect our overall situation."
"That means I can go? Let me post a short story!"
