Chapter 801: Invincible in the World
Lin Han's readers, loyal consumers of Science Fiction World, and even the owners of major distributors and newsstands were all completely surprised by this news!
originally thought that Lin Han and the science fiction world would never get along, but Lin Han handed over the work to a competitor regardless of his previous suspicions. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Many people have speculated, what conditions were given to get Lin Han's new work, maybe a hundred yuan per word?
However, they all thought wrong, Lin Han and Chen Chuhe didn't talk about the manuscript fee at all, and he didn't hand over "Chaowen Dao" to the science fiction world because of the manuscript fee!
This kind of chic attitude made Chen Chuhe and the others anxious, and the manuscript fee must be paid, but how much?
In the editor-in-chief's office, Chen Chuhe was sitting on the sofa, and he said, "If you say 10,000 words, will it be a little less?"
This is already a lot, his novel is only more than 30,000 words, and he can get 300,000 yuan of pre-tax manuscript fees, and it is estimated that he will be envied to death by the rest of the authors. The editor-in-chief, Cao Haoran, said gracefully, looking not in a hurry at all.
However, Chen Chuhe really wanted to help Lin Han fight for his interests, after all, he took the initiative to call over to ask for the manuscript, "Editor-in-chief, Lin Han had more than 10,000 words a year ago, and now is the time for us to get back together with him, let's give it at the normal price." ”
When Lin Han serialized his work "Plane Country" in the newspaper before, even a large newspaper at the central level such as "Reference News" gave a price of 50,000 yuan per thousand words.
Is the current price of Lin Han still not as good as in the past?
However, Cao Haoran didn't think about it so much at all, he put down the teacup and said bitterly: "Chu He, you also know the situation of our magazine, after the sales decline now, there is not much advertising sponsorship, and he can't afford Lin Han's high manuscript fee. What's more, his price of 10,000 words is definitely the first in our science fiction world, and the second one is more than half less than him!"
"Otherwise, give 20,000 words for a thousand words, no matter what, it can't be lower than the manuscript fee given to him in the fantasy era. ”
"If I give him 100,000 yuan in the fantasy era, will I also give him 100,000 yuan?" Cao Haoran was a little impatient, "Be a man to be content, who let him not talk to us about the manuscript fee before, if you want to talk about it now, you let him come by himself." ”
Chen Chuhe had no choice but to turn around and leave the office, with such a short-sighted editor-in-chief, it is strange that the magazine is saved!
At this moment, he misses the previous editor-in-chief very much, and there is a gap between contrasts.
……
"I'm sorry, I'm useless, I can't help you get a higher manuscript fee. ”
After Lin Han heard Chen Chuhe's voice on the other end of the phone, he couldn't help but comfort and said, "It's okay, anyway, I didn't expect this manuscript fee to be high, 10,000 words is already very good." ”
At the beginning, Lin Han's first short story "The Country Teacher" was pocketed by the science fiction world at the price of 500 yuan per thousand words, but now it has not only doubled, I don't know how many times it has doubled!
Chen Chuhe knew that Lin Han was not bad for money, but he always felt that he took advantage of him, how many magazines and newspapers wanted to let Lin Han write at a price of 58,000 words per thousand words, but because the leader was not strong, he was stunned to give the price of cabbage.
If you want ordinary science fiction writers to hear it, you will probably have to roll your eyes, whose cabbage is so expensive.
can describe 10,000 words as the price of cabbage, and it is estimated that only Lin Han is the only one!
"Brother Chen, it's none of your business, don't blame yourself. Anyway, my book is not sent anywhere, and it is normal in your science fiction world. ”
However, Chen Chuhe said coldly, "Are there still any people in your "Fantasy Era"?"
Lin Han felt that he was hallucinating, Chen Chuhe, who had worked in the science fiction world for many years, actually wanted to change jobs?
"Well, I don't know. But I can help you ask Tan Lin, do you really want to change jobs?"
"It's been a long time since I had this idea, and now the editorial department has long become a miasma, and sales have plummeted, but they don't think about how to recover. Chen Chuhe sighed, he was very disappointed in the editorial department, especially what happened in the last two days was even more chilling, "Letting you publish your work in the magazine is the last thing I did for the science fiction world!"
Lin Han also sighed in his heart, the leadership did not act, the upper beam was not right, the lower beam was crooked, "Science Fiction World" was really about to become a thing of the past!
"I'll send you Tan Lin's phone number later, and then you wait ten minutes before you call, I'll talk to him first." ”
Chen Chuhe is a capable and responsible editor, which should reduce Tan Lin's workload a lot, and Lin Han is also looking forward to "Fantasy Era" going further and further in this regard!
You don't need to dig this corner, you just collapse on your own.
……
The seven-day holiday on Labor Day has been shortened to three days, and although everyone has complained, there is nothing to say about it.
Originally, they were only going to print 800,000 copies, but they couldn't stand the enthusiasm of newsstand owners, distributors and online bookstore owners, and the printing orders increased again and again, directly to 1.2 million copies!
This is a huge challenge for Science Fiction World, because they sold more than 300,000 copies in April, and now the print run has risen to one million copies in May.
Lin Han really gave them great confidence, if they couldn't sell this amount, they might as well commit suicide by jumping into the river!
Readers' enthusiasm for chasing books is extremely high, and after the official Weibo came out, countless passers-by ran to the newsstand every day to ask about the science fiction world.
Even many people simply book with the boss on the online Taobao Bookstore and Tianmao Bookstore, anyway, they want to be the first to see!
Originally, there was no pre-sale of a magazine like this, unless it was pre-ordered directly at the post office or the official website for a whole year, and there were fewer and fewer readers like that.
Now readers are very curious about Lin Han + Science Fiction World + Hawking, what kind of story can be written by such a dream combination, and the phone and official website of the magazine have almost been paralyzed for a long time!
The title of the book "Chaowen Dao" does not look sci-fi at all, but rather it looks like writing history or culture or Xianxia health, and curious people abound.
Besides, the price of this magazine is so cheap, it only costs five yuan, and the average person can take it out.
Obviously, the book has not yet been released, and the thousand-degree search volume and Weibo hot search index of "Chaowen Dao" have soared all the way, overpowering those popular events and celebrities!
Enter Chaowendao to enter, and there are various keywords associated with it, such as "Chaowendao Lin Han", "Chaowendao full text", "Chaowendao and Hawking", "Is Chaowendao good-looking", "When will Chaowendao be released".
This popularity deserves to be invincible in the world!
