Obviously, it is already a movie that has stopped being released in theaters, but the nomination released by the Chinese Directors Association has once again brought "Immortality" back into people's sight. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

For them, it is natural for "The Martian" to win so many nominations, but it is not right to put it on "Immortality", the profit effect of this film with a cost of only 100,000 yuan is embarrassing!

Lin Han has long been surprised by such remarks, and some netizens who criticized it really want to promote the development of domestic films, but some of them are just red-eyed.

In fact, the advantages and disadvantages of this movie are obvious, so Lin Han didn't want to argue about anything, time will give all the answers, just like the "Out of the Solar System"!

After more than two years of slow promotion, the Douban movie score has quietly come to the passing line, and many people who have given bad reviews have to regret it.

Now after he returned to the study, he began to write the script seriously, the novel and the script were intersected, and if he was not careful, he would be confused, but this was Lin Han's way of adjusting his mood!

If you are tired of writing novels, then write some scripts and draw a few storyboard scripts, which is somewhat similar to studying, learning one course for a long time will definitely be boring, and cross-reviewing several courses will improve efficiency.

Just when Lin Han was immersed in the ocean of literature and couldn't extricate himself, Zhao Han, the vice president of the National People's Congress Publishing House, made a rare call!

"Mr. Zhao, what wind is blowing you up, you haven't contacted me for a long time. After Lin Han saved the document, he joked.

Zhao Han said seriously on the phone: "Haven't I been worried about disturbing your writing? Today is the day when "Flat Country" will be printed, and it will be released nationwide in ten days, we plan to do an event, I wonder if you have any good suggestions?"

Lin Han frowned, "I'm not good at publicizing these things, you must have an idea, say it and listen to it, if it's not too troublesome, I'll agree!"

After all, "Flat Country" is also its own novel, and if it sells well, it is its own benefit, and there is no need to get along with money.

"We understand that readers adore you so much that we're going to do a treasure hunt where you sign more novels and mix those signed books with the unsigned versions, which would be nice!"

This creates a treasure hunt atmosphere for book buyers in the bookstore, where some readers will buy more valuable autographed editions, while others will not.

This is undoubtedly big news for the bookstore and Lin Han's loyal readers!

Lin Han looked down at his wrist, and he took a deep breath: "This sounds pretty good, but how many copies do I have to sign?"

After Zhao Han heard Lin Han's words, he asked consultatively: "Since it's a treasure hunt, then it's 20,000 copies." ”

"Twenty thousand?" Lin Han couldn't help but raise his voice, "Impossible, this is too much!"

"Not much, not much, if you think about it, how many bookstores and online bookstores there are in the country now. The 20,000 novels are scattered, and it is estimated that there are not enough copies in each city. Since it's a treasure hunt, you have to have one, and you can't find a single signed book in a bookstore in another county!"

"Rare things are expensive, 20,000 signed books are not precious, and I am also busy writing new books now, so I don't have so much time to sign them slowly. ”

The daily code word is already a big burden on the wrist, and if you sign so many more names, the pressure will naturally be heavier.

But Zhao Han heard what he was interested in from Lin Han's words: "New book? You are writing a new book again, is it still a science fiction novel this time?"

At this time, Lin Han remembered that he had signed an agreement with the National People's Congress Publishing House, and the novels he wrote would be handed over to the National People's Congress Publishing House for publication and sales in the next year, which means that "The Matrix" is also in this contract!

"This time, I was linking the novel with the movie, but I didn't plan to release the novel, and I was going to put it on the Internet for free serialization, so I couldn't go the publishing route. ”

Zhao Han's heart is cold, the quality of science fiction novels that can be combined with movies must be very good, and there is also Lin Han, the name of the guaranteed big seller, which marks that a lot of money has flown over like this!

He didn't want to agree to Lin Han's request, but he didn't want to disappoint Lin Han, now Lin Han is the cash cow of their publishing house, what if Lin Han doesn't renew the contract after refusing Lin Han's request this time?

Picking up sesame seeds and losing watermelons, Zhao Han's brain turned quickly, what should be done to make that publishing house keep making money, and at the same time, take care of Lin Han's name.

"Mr. Zhao, do you think it's okay for me to have this idea?" Lin Han waited for a while and didn't hear a voice from the other side, so he asked again.

Zhao Han rubbed his temples, and he said, "Of course it's okay to serialize it for free, but I think you can also use this novel to enter the high-end market." Our previous book publishing has always been paperback and hardcover. If you have confidence in the movie, you can try to make a limited collector's edition, there should be many readers who want to use it as a collection, this will not print a lot, purely for collection, more is not good. ”

Lin Han was quite satisfied with this statement, he nodded and said, "The limited edition is good, then follow Mr. Zhao's idea!"

"Well, let's be a limited edition. Zhao Han was dripping with blood in his heart, although the limited edition can make some money, but it is definitely a big gap compared to the paperback edition that can issue millions of copies.

Since the other party showed favor to him, Lin Han also knew how to exchange courtesies, he opened his mouth and said: "Then the number of signed books is set at 20,000 copies, how about giving me a week to sign slowly?"

The National People's Congress Press made huge concessions on "The Matrix", and Lin Han didn't bother to bargain!

He is a typical example of eating soft and not hard, and when others help, he can't go too far.

Zhao Han hurriedly agreed: "Okay, I'll have people transport 20,000 books directly to your villa tonight." After you sign them, you tell me to ship them back, and you have to put the signed books on the plastic cover, otherwise others only need to flip through them to know if they are signed or not!"

Twenty thousand books don't seem to be much, but if they are piled up, you have to find a warehouse, Lin Han shook his wrist, and before he could start signing, he felt a pain in his wrist.

After hanging up the phone, Zhao Han hurriedly informed the people to start carrying stacks and stacks of books onto the truck, his psychological bottom line was five thousand, but Lin Han gave him a surprise!

With 20,000 signed books, he is sure that "Flat Country" will become the most sold book in the new year.

Unlike this year, last year, Lin Han released two books "Three-Body Problem 2" and "Three-Body Problem 3" on New Year's Day, and began to serialize "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" in February, and also released "Bouquet for Algernon" in April.

In just a few months, he has published so many novels, and the production and sales are jaw-dropping!

But this year, Lin Han's creative speed seems to have dropped several notches, from January to March, and the only new books released are "Immortality" and "Flat Country", one of which is still a short story.

There are no tigers in the mountains, and the monkeys are kings!

Today's book market is controlled by the rest of the authors in turn, and "Plane Country" is a popular science work, and all the content has been serialized in newspapers, which is not conducive to sales.

That's why Zhao Han came up with all kinds of ways to stimulate sales, Lin Han is their trump card in sales, and the People's Congress Publishing House will not allow any form of failure!

……

Lin Han didn't know that Zhao Han had such a thought in his heart, he put his mobile phone aside and continued to deal with the plot, this "The Matrix" carries his great expectations, and there is no room for failure!

The sound of the crackling keyboard had been echoed in the study, and Lin Han was so engrossed in the code word that he forgot the rest of the time, until the high-pitched honking of the truck disturbed him.

Sister-in-law Zhou panted and knocked on Lin Han's study, and only after Lin Han came over and unscrewed the doorknob did she say in a panic: "Xiaolin, there is a truck parked outside, saying that it is for you to deliver goods, I don't know if I will let them in?"

Lin Han looked at his watch at this time, and he said to himself, "It won't be so fast, right?"

It's only been more than two hours, and the National People's Congress Publishing House has already shipped 20,000 books to its side, and the work efficiency is also very high!

"Sister-in-law Zhou, I'll go down and take a look, maybe I'm sending me a book. ”

After finishing speaking, Lin Han hurriedly trotted downstairs, he pushed open the door of the villa, and asked the truck driver, "You are from the National People's Congress Publishing House?"

At this time, a young man in the passenger seat jumped down, "Mr. Lin, it's us." The 20,000 books are ready, where do you need to move them?"

This is the secretary that Zhao Han brought before, so Lin Han had the impression that he pushed the iron door open so that the truck could reverse in, "Help me put it in the basement, it is spacious over there and can be placed." ”

With that, he rolled up his sleeves and quickly cleaned up the basement so that so many books could be put together in an orderly manner.

With so many books placed together, Lin Han recalled the situation of going to get books when he was studying, and the boys at the beginning of the school year would always be taken by the head teacher to bring the textbooks of the whole class back to the classroom!

Counting the driver, the secretary and Lin Han, the three of them ran back and forth I don't know how many times they had to carry these books, and Lin Han was so tired that sweat broke out on his forehead.

"Sit down and rest, I'm tired from being busy for so long. After Lin Han drank half a bottle of water, he joked: "When I go back, I must let you Mr. Zhao pay overtime, but I was so stingy that a few porters were not invited, and now my arms are sore!"
