Handing over "The Martian" to Li Wenyuan's new magazine for release, this is one of the few supports from Lin Han, after he hung up the phone, he glanced at Chen Jiaxuan next to him, and asked in a low voice, "I have no problem doing this, right?"

"It should be fine, every writer doesn't hang himself from a magazine. Pen~Fun~Ge www.biquge.info Although "Science Fiction World" has a good relationship with you, I was still thinking about 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 it may not help your new book sales." ”

"Didn't you say that the market was hungry and thirsty, and it shouldn't matter if there was a serial base for this magazine. ”

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

One is a send-off, the other is the icing on the cake, and it is obviously better to choose the first one.

Chen Jiaxuan laughed softly, she just likes this kind of human touch, and a person's quality is also very important compared to talent.

"Okay, okay, you go home and pack your things, and by the way, practice your spoken English and do a travel guide or something, don't lose yourself on the Europa continent. ”

Lin Han grinned, "There are still eight days left, don't be too anxious." Before we go to Europe, let's get the publication of The Martian first, so that we don't have to dream too many nights. ”

Speaking of business, Chen Jiaxuan also became serious, "There is no impermeable wall in the world, the National People's Congress Publishing House held a small meeting to discuss, and the rest of the publishing houses also got the news." Now is not the time for us to ask for help, some well-informed small publishing houses have sent the conditions to my mailbox, if there is no response from Mr. Zhao before noon, I will start to cooperate with Chunfeng Literature and Art Publishing House, Hunan Only, New Star Publishing House, Motie and the like. ”

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

The problem he is thinking about now is how to sell this copyright, domestic film producers don't like science fiction movies very much, but Hollywood film companies must feel that the story background is not very good.

Now we can only take one step at a time to see whether the domestic film companies are the ones who eat crabs or the Hollywood side is willing to abandon prejudice.

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

The Lantern Festival had not yet come, and there were not many people in the library at this time, so Lin Han could occupy the entire table by himself and comfortably take the information books he needed to flip through them.

There are some things that can't be found on the Internet, and you have to rely on these professional books, and each book may only use a few paragraphs, for which he has to look through for a long, long time to find.

It's not easy to be a translator, and it's not good to have a good memory if you haven't read the original English book.

……

Lin Han, who set the mobile phone to vibrate mode, suddenly found that the sound of the vibration was louder, and the vibrating mobile phone collided with the desktop, and the quiet reading area suddenly became noisy.

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

I am Xiao Deng of Chongqing Publishing House, I heard that your novel "The Martian" is seeking to be published, and we at Chongqing Publishing House are all pioneers in publishing science fiction, and we have a lot of experience in publishing science fiction, so we 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: "I'm sorry, I have carte blanche to my agent, Miss Chen Jiaxuan, about these publishing matters, can you please call her?"

"Mr. 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? ”

It is undeniable that because of the regional cooperative relationship, the cooperative relationship between Chongqing Sichuan Publishing House and "Science Fiction World" is very close, and many science fiction novels are published by these publishing houses.

Science fiction writers do not have their own association, they and many scientists together form the China Science Writers Association, this association has a relatively high threshold, not every science fiction writer can join, at least to be recognized inside and outside the industry, the gold content is relatively high.

But Lin Han didn't even join the Municipal Writers' Association now, let alone join this kind of high-level Writers' Association, he refused indifferently: "Thank you for your kindness, I am only responsible for writing novels, and Miss Chen manages the rest of the affairs, so it is better for you to negotiate with Miss Chen." ”

The other party could also hear the meaning of Lin Han's mouth, so he sneered and said: "Then I'm sorry to disturb you, please forgive me, if you have cooperation in the future, you can contact me at any time." Good bye. ”

"There is a chance to work together again, goodbye. ”

After hanging up the phone, Lin Han had a hunch that this was not the last, Chongqing Publishing House could find his own phone, and other publishing houses could also find him.

Is it really a troublesome thing to set your phone to airplane mode now, but then your friends can't contact you.

Sure enough, in the future, people from the Yangtze River Literature and Art Publishing House, New World Publishing House, Relay Publishing House, and Wanjuan Publishing all called to inquire.

You must know that they are people who have not even read the specific content of "The Martian", and they just want to sign the book with the synopsis given by Lin Han.

The book "I, Robot" is relatively weak in story and commerciality due to the congenital lack of its own short story collection, but "The Martian" is a long novel, and the story is very coherent.

The first book can sell hundreds of thousands, and the second book will definitely not be too bad, even if the book sales in this world are very amazing, there may not be many books that break the million level, and each one is worth fighting for.

Hanging up the phone tiredly, Lin Han once again rejected the China Juvenile and Children's Publishing House, and now the mobile phone battery has turned red, and he urgently needs to go home to recharge.

But at this time, Chen Chuhe, the editor of "Science Fiction World", called again, this is Lin Han's Bole and an old acquaintance, and he is embarrassed to refuse.
