[There is a strong recommendation on the upper hand. The old bookworm knows that this is a very critical period. I look forward to everyone's recommendation votes~]

"Lin, this is Mr. Markinson, our Chairman of the Board. We will accompany you to carry out new book promotion activities and release ceremony later."

Alex is a middle-level leader in Penguin Publishing Group. He has little power, but he is in charge of the most important publishing line of Penguin Publishing Group - Penguin Classics.

There are many authors who want to join this book series, but not many people can catch his eye. The annual quota will even be vacant. It is better to have nothing than to be too bad.

Lin Han looked at Markinson Robert who was smiling next to him, and he smiled, "It is an honor to invite you to attend our launch ceremony."

It is naturally extraordinary that Markinson can sit in the chairperson position. On the first day of the London Book Fair, he must come here to take charge in person, so that the rest of the booths can be compared and attracted more attention.

"Hey, boy, I've read your science fiction novels, and we unanimously agree that this book has higher potential and should be rewarded in this year's Nebula Awards. We will do our best to help you operate, and you may need to come out and participate in several events."

Lin Han was a little surprised about this topic. This was originally an important factor in his signing, but it seemed a bit unexpected to put things on the table with a bold and open manner.

Penguin Publishing Group has a great family and has extensive connections in different book publishing fields. When they work hard, they can even influence the nomination of the Nobel Prize in Literature, let alone the awards for science fiction.

"i,rbt" has now become a member of the classic book department of Penguin Publishing Group. If it is included in the list of nominations for high-profile awards such as Nebula Awards, it will definitely promote sales.

No matter how you look at it, it is a win-win situation, and good books also need to be promoted.

Lin Han smiled heartily, "I hope this is the best way to get the nomination."

"You will realize your dream." Markinson was full of confidence. They might not affect the results of the award, but it was not difficult to operate the novel on the nomination list. This novel was originally very outstanding.

At this time, the staff came over and whispered: "The time is up, everyone prepares it. Our launch ceremony will begin soon. Everyone knows the process?"

"OK"

"no problem"

"Remember."

So, under the simple stage, many reporters were preparing with long guns and short cannons, and some tourists were curiously gathering here to watch the fun. They took out their mobile phones and started taking photos and recording. Not always, they could see the new book release ceremony.

In order to promote this book, Penguin Publishing Group also invited some famous people from the science fiction industry to the scene. The director of bbc TV's technology channel, professor of physics at the University of Cambridge, head of the Computer and Automation Laboratory of Stanford University in the United States, robotics experts, etc., which gave enough face.

"Today, we are very honored to announce that this science fiction novel "i,rbt" from China has officially joined the Penguin Classic Book Family, and will also use the traditional printing method of small black books for global promotion!"

Lin Han basically acted according to the host's words on stage, and he did whatever he asked him to do. He was a little restrained when attending the press conference for the first time.

With Markinson's words, the reporters on the scene became turbulent. The reporters who could come to the book fair to interview basically had some understanding of this industry, but a Chinese science fiction novel could actually enter the Penguin Classic Book Series, which is an achievement that many European and American science fiction writers have not been able to achieve!

But now is not the time for interviews, so the reporters started to whisper one by one. They originally thought it was just an ordinary publishing ceremony, but the treatment of this book was so good that they had countless questions to ask.

Lin Han took the microphone at this time, looked around and said quickly: "I'm very happy to be joining such an important book series. This book tells the history of robot development. Robots also have their own psychology and thinking, but how were they born and how did they work and live with humans? I think this is the guess that "i,rbt" wants to bring to everyone."

"No matter how much you say, maybe it's better for everyone to take a look at it yourself. I believe this is a very good book, and Amazon readers have proved this. We and Gao Xing can work hard with science fiction writers from China." Alex also praised the novel. Anyway, this is the fact, and the praises are so popular.

When the interview session came, Lin Han became a little nervous. He had not been surrounded by so many reporters in turn. He even felt that the reporter looked at him like a wolf seeing a sheep.

Generally speaking, writers are good at writing but not good at speaking.

Alex temporarily played the role of a press officer, clicked a reporter casually, and handed him the microphone.

"Hello sir, I am a reporter from the Times. It is said that Chinese science fiction is a huge desert. Your book already has 40,000 comments in Amazon's online bookstore. What do you think is the difference between Chinese science fiction and Europe and the United States?"

The vague sense of superiority made Lin Han feel a little uncomfortable. He restrained his emotions and replied: "After the joint efforts of several generations of science fiction writers, we have changed from desert to oasis. Now China's science fiction novels are already a prosperous scene and have received more and more attention. In the future, Chinese science fiction novels will definitely produce powerful works and gradually form ideological products that affect the world."

Chen Jiaxuan's answer made her praise in her heart. Since the other party described the desert, the current situation in China is that the oasis area is constantly expanding, while Europe and the United States are seriously desertified.

"I am a reporter from the Daily Mirror. You have participated in an event in our newspaper before. Can you please explain what gd-is-dying is?"

The reporter just finished asking, and the audience and tourists couldn't help but look at each other. They were basically British, and the Daily Mirror essay contest has also been paid attention to. Now I know that the three widely circulated words were actually written by a young Chinese writer. It's so amazing.

"Are you sure it's him? It's so unbelievable."

"Dog-shit, the information prepared for interviews is not comprehensive enough, and I actually forgot such an important thing."

"Since that's the case, he also wrote the last man on Earth? I'm starting to buy his book. If you can combine a few words, this book will definitely be very good."

"Written by Chinese people? I don't believe it."

"I also expressed doubts about what good science fiction novels can be written by the yellow monkey."

"The Mirror reporters spoke, they must have confirmed it. To be honest, I never thought that writers in that place in China would actually write science fiction novels. Have you read the articles they wrote?"

...

The buzzing sound reached Lin Han's ears. He didn't expect that an event he participated in would pay so much attention.

In the UK, the Mirror has a greater influence. If it were in the US, not many people might know the result of this event.

No matter what, Lin Han had to answer the reporter's question seriously, "In fact, that story is the literal kind. God is on the verge of death, and you can understand it any way you want. Gentlemen, please use our book as the theme for interviews, okay?"
