Chapter 91

Leaving "Martian Rescue" to Li Wenyuan's new magazine for release, this is one of the few support from Lin Han. After hanging up the phone, he looked at Chen Jiaxuan beside him and asked in a low voice: "Is there any problem with doing this?"

"It should be fine. No writer will hang himself in a magazine. Although "Science Fiction World" has a good relationship with you, I was still considering letting this book be serialized in other magazines with larger circulation." Chen Jiaxuan said while looking at the road, "It's just that this magazine is not famous enough and may not help your new book sales."

"Didn't you say that the market is very hungry and thirsty before? It doesn't matter whether there is a magazine serialization or not."

Lin Han didn't think there was anything wrong with this. The magazine serialized novels have a certain effect, but this time it was obviously more gimmicked than it was posted on "Fantasy Age" than it was posted on "Science Fiction World".

One is a timely help, and the other is a icing on the cake. It is obviously better to choose the first one.

Chen Jiaxuan chuckled softly. She liked the kind of human touch that she was very humane. A person's quality and talent were also very important.

"Okay, okay, go home and pack up your things, and practice speaking English to do travel guides, etc., don't throw yourself away in the European continent."

Lin Han grinned, "There are eight days left, so don't be too anxious. Before we go to Europe, let's get the publication of "Martian Rescue" first, so as not to have too many dreams."

Speaking of serious business, Chen Jiaxuan also became serious. "There is no airtight wall in the world. After a small meeting was held by the Renmin University Press, the rest of the publishing house also received news. Now is not the time when we ask for help. Some well-informed publishing houses sent the conditions to my email address. If Mr. Zhao did not respond before noon, I would start to start with Chunfeng Literature and Art Publishing House and Hunan's only, Xinxing Publishing House, Mo Tie, etc."

Lin Han also wanted to publish the novel as soon as possible so that he could see the movie on the big screen as soon as possible. The adaptation of the movie "Martian Rescue" can be said to be very simple, much easier than "I, Robot".

The question he is thinking about now is how to sell this copyright. Domestic filmmakers don’t like science fiction movies very much, but Hollywood filmmakers must think that the story background is not very good.

Now we can only take one step at a time to see if it is a domestic film merchant who is the first to take the lead or Hollywood is willing to abandon prejudice.

Chen Jiaxuan threw Lin Han outside the National Library and left. She didn't have much work as a literary agent, and she was busy with her own affairs most of the time.

The Lantern Festival has not yet arrived, and there are not many people in the library at this time, so Lin Han can occupy the entire table alone and comfortably take over the materials he needs and read them.

Some things cannot be found online, so they have to use these professional books. However, each book may only use a few paragraphs. For these paragraphs, he has to read them for a long time to find them.

Being a translator is not an easy task. It is not good to have never read the original English book. I have a good memory but cannot express it.

...

Lin Han, who set the phone to vibration mode, suddenly found that the vibration sounded louder. The vibrating phone collided with the desktop, and the quiet reading area suddenly became noisy.

Lin Han was startled. He grabbed the phone with one hand, and then found that it was a strange phone call. He frowned and did not hang up, but walked quickly to the smoking area.

"Hello, is it Mr. Lin Han? I am Xiao Deng from Chongqing Publishing House. I heard that your novel "Martian Rescue" is seeking to be published. Our Chongqing Publishing House is a pioneer in publishing science fiction. We have a lot of experience in publishing science fiction novels and can meet all your requirements."

The other party's tone was very sincere, while Lin Han frowned slightly. He didn't know how his phone number was leaked, but he was obviously a little unhappy.

So he replied, "Sorry, I have entrusted all these publications to my agent, Miss Chen Jiaxuan. Can you please contact her if you have any questions?"

"Teacher Lin, we are very sincere. Do you know that the science fiction novels published by our publishing house account for 30% of the total number of science fiction novels? We can recommend them to the Science Popularization Writers Association on behalf of others. New members need 3 or more writers to recommend them to join."

It is undeniable that due to regional cooperation, Chongqing Sichuan Publishing House has a very close cooperative relationship with "Science Fiction World". Many science fiction novels are published by these publishers. The most used to be Sichuan Science and Technology Publishing House, but now they are naturally blooming in multiple aspects.

Science fiction writers do not have their own association. They form the China Association of Popular Science Writers with many scientists. The threshold for this association is relatively high. Not every science fiction writer can join. At least it must be recognized by the industry and outside the industry, with a relatively high value.

But Lin Han has not even joined the Municipal Writers Association now, let alone joining this high-level Writers Association. He refused indifferently: "Thank you for your kindness. I am only responsible for writing novels. Miss Chen manages the rest of the affairs. It is better for you to negotiate with Miss Chen."

The other party could also hear what Lin Han said, so he said embarrassedly: "I'm sorry to bother you, please forgive me. If you have any cooperation in the future, you can contact me at any time. Goodbye."

"Goodbye if you have the opportunity to cooperate again."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Han had a premonition that this was not the last one. Chongqing Publishing House could find its own phone number, while other Publishing Houses could also find itself.

Is it really a troublesome thing to set my phone to fly mode now, but if my friends can't contact me, it's really a problem.

As expected, afterwards, people from Changjiang Literature and Art Publishing House, New World Publishing House, Relay Publishing House, and Wanjuan Publishing House called to inquire.

You should know that they have never read the specific content of "Martian Rescue". They just wanted to sign the book based on the outline given by Lin Han.

Due to the innate lack of its short story collection, the book "I, Robot" is relatively weak in storyline and commerciality. However, "Martian Rescue" is a novel with very coherent storyline.

The first book can be sold for hundreds of thousands of yuan, but the second book will definitely not be too bad. Even if the sales of books in this world are amazing, there may not be many books with a scale of one million, and each one is worth competing for.

After hanging up the phone tiredly, Lin Han once again rejected the Chinese Children's Publishing House. Now the battery of the mobile phone has turned red and I urgently need to go home to charge it.

But at this time, Chen Chuhe, the editor of "Science Fiction World", called again. This was Lin Han's mentor and old friend, so he was embarrassed to refuse.
