Chapter 80 The Millionaire
It is a relatively lacking thing to tell a story in a short space. Although the novel "Artificial Beauty" is not top-notch, the core is very touching and has a clever and profound theme.
The story probably tells a bar on the verge of bankruptcy. The boss spent money to attract customers and only became a very charming robot girl. After having the robot girl, the bar business also improved.
The boss can recycle the wine consumed by the robot for reuse and continue to sell it to customers for drinking. The appearance of a robot beauty is no different from a real person, but she lacks intelligence and can only drink and answer some simple questions.
When a young man fell in love with a robot beauty at first sight, he wasted all his savings on drinking. The last time a young man wanted to kill the robot beauty with poison, he poisoned her in the wine and asked her to drink.
But after the boss took out the recycled poisonous wine, he invited all the people in the bar to drink together. Everyone was poisoned to death, leaving only the robot beauty waiting for the person below to say hello to her.
The content of the story is relatively simple, but it contains the author's rich imagination, is novel and unique, and is not out of common sense, and establishes a typical image.
The ending of the artificial beauty makes people think a lot. No matter how many times you watch it, it will be very charming. After watching it, it will make people feel a little uncomfortable, especially for male compatriots.
The bar owner used false things to deceive many people's feelings and repeatedly used the same wine to sell money in private. In the end, he accidentally drank the wine with poison added, which was retribution.
People must have their own judgment ability and cannot be addicted to illusory things. This artificial robot beauty is just a robot with an amazing appearance. She cannot even say too complicated words, but no one has doubted her. Just by appearance, everyone is fascinated.
The novel uses clever language dialogue to unfold the plot, reflecting that "artificial beauty" can only repeat human language simply, without the real command of human beings, and has a unique appearance but a hollow heart.
The confused men are foolish and frivolous, lacking judgment and self-control, especially the young man who was poisoned in the end shows the uglyness of the human heart.
In the ending, the huge bar is brightly lit, but it is extremely quiet, leaving only the radio constantly praising the light music, and the robot beauty whispers good night, leaving endless meanings, very vivid and innovative.
Lin Han is also very satisfied with the structure of the novel. It is exquisite and cleverly suitable for publishing it in the Daily Mirror. What he has to do is to be a translator and translate the novel from Chinese to English.
When he read this article, he translated it from Japanese to Chinese, and now he translated it from Chinese to English, which feels really weird.
But Lin Han was not in a hurry to do something. He had one month left to translate the novel. Now he was relieved and rested for a while.
I used to be troubled by having no goals. Now, after having goals, I can write it slowly. I will first write the Chinese version and then translate it into English. Next is the water grinding time.
At this time, the phone he placed next to the table vibrated, and when he picked it up, he found that the prize money for the essay competition had been received.
But this is not the hundreds of thousands of yuan for the Galaxy Award essay contest. This is the bonus sent from the Daily Mirror. The original 120,000 pounds of bonus was deducted by the high taxes and only a little more than 80,000, which made Lin Han feel so distressed.
If you exchange 80,000 pounds for RMB, it would be almost more than 700,000 pounds, which is very cost-effective.
Of course, it is still far from buying a house in Yanjing City for RMB 700,000, which is also Lin Han's first large-scale income.
In fact, Lin Han has a lot of potential income, but almost no one has been settled yet. I, from Renmin University Press, have sold more than 380,000 robots, but the royalties have been settled in a month.
It was finally January passed, but February was the Spring Festival again. You have to wait until the Spring Festival to get the royalties from the Renmin University Press. That was not a small amount of money.
At the same time, there are too many bonus procedures for the Galaxy Award, and there is no mirror at all. It won the prize a day or two later, and in a blink of an eye, the after-tax bonus was sent.
The download volume of the English version on Amazon is also very high. The book originally costing $499 per book is currently only sold for $299, and the amount you expect to get is no less than 80,000 pounds.
Once a person succeeds, all kinds of income will come in. Now Lin Han has to wait for settlement in all aspects so that his wallet can truly rise.
The sales channels are so broad that if the English and Spanish copyrights are sold, Lin Han will go further and fulfill the dream that many best-selling writers in China have not been able to fulfill, and take the lead in entering the world stage.
"If I count so, I'm a millionaire?"
Lin Han did not calculate in detail, but the bonus of two essay contests alone could push his total assets to the level of one million yuan, which is almost unimaginable.
It seems that he was still eating dirt a month ago, and now he is starting to consider buying a house in Yanjing City.
From being poor to being a millionaire, Lin Han only used a few works. If his amazing efficiency was exposed, it would definitely shock the general public.
Although the purchasing power of one million yuan is declining now, the name Millionaire still sounds quite interesting. You can look forward to this year's writers and rich list.
Unlike other authors, those authors basically rely on selling novel copyrights or other film, television, games, and animation adaptation rights, and almost no one cares about Lin Han's novel derivative copyrights.
In fact, this is also a relatively weak point in science fiction novels. Other novels can basically produce various copyrights in large quantities. After the adaptation of science fiction novels fails, they fall into a trough, and there is no one to do with game adaptations or even radio dramas.
If a copyright is obtained by others, it may be a income gap of several million yuan. No wonder science fiction writers are all jealous, and some even think about changing careers.
After receiving such a large sum of money, Lin Han certainly wanted to celebrate, so he sent a WeChat message to his good friend Wang Hao, who was in Yanjing City: "Mouse, are you free tonight? Come out to have a drink to celebrate."
People feel refreshed when they are happy, and the loneliness during the Spring Festival also makes Lin Han want to find friends to gather, so he is so active.
"Oh, you actually took the initiative to ask me to drink? That's definitely no problem. Don't be afraid tonight, drink with you." Wang Hao also knew Lin Han's condition, so he agreed directly at this moment without any hesitation.
