Writing is never easy, it's a one-man, the sound of keystrokes ringing in the dead of night in the study. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

With the development of the times, only a few writers still insist on writing by hand, which is very cumbersome, time-consuming, and inconvenient to revise.

Anyway, Lin Han felt that he was definitely not suitable for that kind of writing method, and he felt very tired just signing autographs for others, let alone writing in a steady stream.

The plot of the novel has not changed much, and the text in his head before is a translation full of translation style, and anyone with a discerning eye can detect that it is mostly a translated text.

His goal is to digest the book and revise it in his own language and in a way full of oriental humor, perhaps the book will become unrecognizable when it is written, very different from the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy on Earth!

It is said that it is necessary to adapt measures to local conditions and teach students according to their aptitude, and now Lin Han has changed the outdated things in the novel and the things that do not conform to the reading habits of domestic readers, and takes care of more readers, and his goal is to make readers laugh when they see this book like watching sketches and cross talk performances.

This is undoubtedly a huge challenge, and there is no place for any ease.

Whether it is a world-renowned writer or an ordinary online author, writing a book is inseparable from repeated revisions, and any good book is revised.

Lin Han's progress is still very great, he has not stood still, from the original face of such an epoch-making work as "I, Robot" directly copied and copied, to now he can completely revise the "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy", his progress is very obvious.

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is a wonderful science fiction novel, but it doesn't seem to be close to Chinese readers, and Lin Han's mission is to keep the novel's excitement while making it accessible and loved by more readers!

Copying books is only the initial means, and continuous progress and continuous revision of the regrets in those works are the goals pursued by Lin Han.

If he always positions himself as a porter, then he doesn't need to be serious with himself now.

It's hard, but it's fun!

The sound of tapping on the keyboard kept ringing, and Lin Han stopped after writing a large paragraph, and after reading it repeatedly, he deleted some of it, and then started writing again.

After tossing like this, he only wrote four or five thousand words a day, which was faster than he expected.

As the Spring Festival approaches, when night falls, there seem to be fewer lights in the community, and many people who buy or rent houses in Yanjing go back to their hometowns for the holidays.

When Lin Han opened the study and walked out, he happened to find Chen Jiaxuan holding fish food on the edge of the fish tank, and her home dress looked a little less gorgeous and more gentle.

"I just told you to eat after feeding the fish, and you came out on your own. This afternoon I was at home researching how to make Italian seafood gratin and got some cookies in the oven, would you like to try it?"

"Of course, I'm looking forward to your craft. Lin Han walked behind Chen Jiaxuan, then hugged her thin waist, lowered his head and kissed her cheek with light makeup, and had no other thoughts in his heart.

Chen Jiaxuan patted Lin Han's hand, "Go wash your hands and get ready for dinner, I don't care if I write a novel, you don't give yourself a holiday during the Spring Festival." ”

Now the last two parts of "The Three-Body Problem" are still selling well, even if they have been on sale for a whole month, they are still on the top of the major sales lists!

"Three-Body Problem 2: Dark Forest" has reached 3.8 million copies in the first month alone, including pre-sales, which is just the sales of physical books. Amazon's Kindle e-book and Douban Reading combined also sold 2.4 million copies.

As for "Three-Body Problem 3: Death Eternal", it was not until the end of January that it began to increase sales on a large scale, it is estimated that readers have finished reading the first two parts, so the physical book sales in January were only 2.3 million copies.

But judging from the week that has just ended, the sales ranking of "Death Eternal" has risen to fourth on the weekly list, while "Dark Forest" has slipped to eighth on the weekly list, so "Death Eternal" in February will definitely catch up and try to catch up with the first two.

Thanks to so many sales and explosive word-of-mouth, even "Three-Body Problem 1" has rebounded from the seventy or eighty places on the sales list to the top thirty, it has been nearly half a year since it was released, and it can return to such a high position, it seems that there are still many new readers who continue to join!

As for the sales of the complete works of "The Three-Body Problem", the sales are a little lower, and many people buy three books separately, so the sales volume is less than two million copies in a month, but the sales are higher than the single book.

In other words, Lin Han's novel sales revenue in January will exceed 10 million yuan, not counting the sales of the rest of the novels and the rest of the overseas markets, this earning power can be called one of the best in the field of writers!

Therefore, when many media took stock of the hot books and hot words last month, "three-body problem" became an unavoidable term, it was too popular, and it has formed a trend.

After making so much money in one go, Lin Han is a lot more relaxed, and it is only serious that readers like it.

……

After eating the dinner cooked by Chen Jiaxuan, Lin Han took the initiative to contract the responsibility of washing dishes, and his fingers could earn hundreds of thousands of yuan by tapping on the keyboard almost a word, but this kind of warm home feeling could not be bought for any amount of money.

Chen Jiaxuan was contented to lie on the sofa, she turned on the TV to make the room not so quiet, and she dragged a small blanket over her body, took out her mobile phone and prepared to download some fun game to pass the time.

After her artist was shot in the Spring Festival Gala program, she simply went home for the New Year, and the entire studio was almost on holiday, basically nothing serious, even if there was, it could be solved remotely.

If Lin Han didn't write a new book, she would like to drag Lin Han to Australia or New Zealand for a trip, go to the famous golden pasture, and taste the top beef and wine.

Everything is just if, Chen Jiaxuan's staying at home now says everything, plans are always just plans.

Chen Jiaxuan moved the cushion for a while, and opened the app-store of the Apple mobile phone to check what games were available recently, and after looking for nothing on the featured recommendation page, he clicked on the download leaderboard, and then the whole person was taken aback!

"Honey, come out and take a look, the game "The Martian" is actually on the download list, and it seems that it has just been released today, so it rushed to the top so soon!"

After Lin Han heard this sound, he quickly rinsed the foam on his hands, then took out a paper towel to dry it and returned to the living room. He sat next to Chen Jiaxuan, tilted his head to take a look, and found that this mobile game was not only in the new game download list, but also rose to eighth place in the paid download list in China!

This is arguably a remarkable achievement, but a text adventure game can occupy such a high position, and it was on the first day of release, less than 24 hours!

The number of downloads of this new game has risen steadily, most of them are supported by Lin Han's readers, the novel of the same name sells well all over the world, and the game has also whetted its appetite, and people who are on vacation have time to play the game, even if it is five yuan!

"Really, I didn't think this kind of game would be popular with too many people. Lin Han muttered to himself, he likes this game very much, but it doesn't mean that players like it too.

Chen Jiaxuan smiled, she clicked to download and buy, and then said, "I will also contribute." Looking at the introduction, this game should be more convenient to play with Apple-Watch (Apple Watch). ”

In fact, "The Martian" is a very strange game, there are no fight scenes of regular mobile games, action effects, etc., the game interface is just a dialog box, and the direct dialogue with the player is a Mars exploration astronaut named Li Yunfan.

The gameplay is very simple, that is, the player helps Li Yunfan to make some judgments, if the judgment is correct, then Li Yunfan can survive on Mars for a few more days and be one step closer to being rescued, if the player makes a wrong choice, then Li Yunfan will die, and then the game ends and starts again!

Admittedly, this mobile game is very peculiar and most players have never seen it, but the lightweight operation can make players feel thrilling when choosing, and it can be said that novelty is the huge selling point of "The Martian".

But can "The Martian" reach the top of the charts in a short period of time just by relying on novelty? Lin Han's readers are limited after all, such a super IP can indeed attract many readers or passers-by to watch, but whether it can be maintained depends on the quality of the game.

It costs money to download this game, and how can unknown passers-by spend five dollars to buy it just by reading the introduction, and publicity is crucial!

It's incredible that such a game has risen to the top of the paid charts, and it can be said that it has made a qualitative leap!

The sales of "The Martian" on the Apple side are gratifying, and there is also good news on the Android side, and the Android phone has many more users than the Apple phone, almost not an order of magnitude.

In the field of smartphone systems, Android leads with 70%, iOS ranks second with 20%, Windows only 9%, and the rest is only about 1%.

However, although the Android mobile phone system is leading, due to the many brands, the official download of game software is not uniform, although it is charged, so there are obvious differences in the sales list.

"The Martian" is almost an omni-channel kill, ranking in the top 10 in all major official markets, and sprinting towards the top three or even the first!

In less than 24 hours, the post "The Martian" has become a sea of game discussions, and many people have just started playing, and they have all died a few times, so everyone quickly got together to exchange experiences.

"Did anyone download the game The Martian? I think the pages, the music, and the sound effects are all very good, and the person who voices me thinks it's the real thing!"

"Khan, I forgot that it was released today, have you ever played it? May I ask, is the game so fun, is it worth five dollars?"

"Ask the great god for help, what should I do when Xiao Transparent dies in the process of surgery? Isn't it the anesthetic injection first, and then I operate on myself? That's what Lin Han's novel says, I will die if I do it!"

"Is there sterilization first? What about local anesthesia? What about hemostatic injections? I also died here before, but I went to ask a relative who was a doctor to pass, this seems to be the operation in reality, very real!"

"It's so fun, no wonder even Lin Han himself died so many times before he cleared the level, I can be sure of it. ”

"It's definitely worth the money, the game can still be played like this, I thought it was rubbish!"

"This is a conscience mobile game, 10,000 times better than those novels adapted from mobile game masterpieces that cheat money!"

", you see that Bo Yougao has chopped melons and vegetables all the way to planting potatoes, and Xueba is Xueba!"

Not only here, but also the posts of Weibo and the rest of Lin Han's novels, as well as the book review area, are also the voices of discussion, and the posts carried by the great gods are endless!

Originally, many readers wanted to browse through the normal posts, but they were taken aback by this posture, which no one called on them to play mobile games, which was just an accident.

The performance of "The Martian" released in both Chinese and English versions is slightly weaker abroad, but no one cares, because Xingyue Games has not done any publicity abroad at all, and so many players can pay to download it all for the sake of the title.

The price of five yuan is actually not too expensive, many games are sold for more than ten or twenty yuan, and some are even billed directly in US dollars, and the low price has a strong appeal to consumers.

Of course, the price is only a small aspect of the detonation of sales, because the explosion of a mobile game, if there is no outstanding quality, it will definitely not work. The Martian is a game with novel and quirky gameplay that doesn't take up an entire chunk of the player's time.

In other words, the clever time setting in the game allows players to use fragmented time to play the game, which is in line with the mainstream of public life.

That night, "The Martian", a mobile game with an investment of less than 10 million yuan, officially topped the Apple Store, which is a small amount compared to other mobile games that cost a lot of money.

But the ants defeated the elephants, and the waste wood also had a counterattack day, which took 27 hours to dominate the paid download list of the Apple Store in China!
