When Lin Han rushed to the editorial office of "Fantasy Times", the staff here had been waiting for a long time, and many of them wanted to see what their second boss looked like, and they only teased the passengers in front of them on Weibo yesterday, and the young science fiction master looked very good-tempered. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"You've been waiting for a long time, haven't you? There was no traffic jam on the road today, and it only took me 25 minutes to get there. ”

Lin Han was wearing a blue hoodie and jeans, this dress looked like a student in college, very young, not at all like a person who has been in society for several years.

Li Wenyuan patted him on the shoulder, and introduced to the staff of the editorial department: "This is Lin Han who you have been thinking about for a long time, are you disillusioned after seeing it?" ”

One of the female editors said with a smile: "Where is it very disillusioned, it is obviously a sci-fi male god!" He is the most handsome among the authors of novels, and the most handsome guy who can write novels, but it's a pity that I was born before I was born, and I am old when you are born. ”

"The female junior holds the gold brick, everything is possible."

Lin Han didn't mind these staff too much, he shook his head and said: "If I were you, I would never say these things in front of the two bosses, I should talk about work, maybe there will be bonuses and salary increases or something." ”

The group took the elevator downstairs lively, and then went to the hotel in a mighty way.

The editorial department just now, there are not many staff, and a table actually sits down, which is still not a small gap from the scale of a large magazine.

Since they had to go to work in the afternoon, they didn't drink, but just drank some fruit orange instead of wine, wishing the magazine a prosperous future.

After returning to the editorial office, Lin Han and Li Wenyuan began to play cameo roles as reviewers in the conference room, they are considered supernumeraries here, but the first issue of the magazine is more important, so they need to review and check, and then they can be handed over to the editor and editor-in-chief.

"Mosquito, we're both science fiction writers, should we read the rest of the types of articles as well? I'm afraid that my level is limited and I will mislead people's children! ”

Lin Han looked at the dozens of manuscripts lying on the computer, and couldn't help but complain, although the editor reads books every day, it is easy to vomit.

Li Wenyuan slowly slid the document in front of him with the mouse, and he explained: "Fantasy literature is not separated, fantasy and science fiction still share an award, in fact, we are only responsible for the general selection, and whether it can be listed in the magazine depends on the arrangement of the editor-in-chief." It is impossible for me to interfere in the specific operation of the magazine and give him enough respect and autonomy. ”

"I don't even know what these manuscripts are for, "The Crow that Swallows the Sky", I didn't know what was written in it for half the day, myths are not like myths, and fantasies are not like fantasies."

Lin Han felt that he was completely Shennong tasting herbs, this book was highly poisonous, and there were too few articles that could make people's eyes shine.

"The Death of Penglai", "The Codex of the Heavenly Master", "The Lonely Ghost", "The Theft of the Martians", "The Meteor Shower Day After Day", different types of books come together, there are Eastern fantasy, Western magic, and some science fiction with a bit of suspense.

The creativity of some books is eye-catching, but the story description is not flattering, Lin Han sipping coffee while carefully reviewing the manuscript.

He knew that these books were handed over by the authors with great expectations, and it was a heavy dream.

You can't just destroy other people's dreams, and you have to be responsible for their articles, which is the minimum respect.

Of course, Lin Han's opinion alone cannot be accepted or rejected, these manuscripts are all cross-read, at least all editors and editors-in-chief can make a final decision after the opinions of all editors and editors-in-chief are unified.

After reading a manuscript, Lin Han had to write his opinions in an excel sheet, so that they could check the reasons when they had a meeting.

Two hours had passed, and Lin Han stood up from his chair, twisting his neck and waist, and at the same time letting his eyes rest properly.

"Mosquito, to be honest, do we have enough articles in the first issue of this magazine?"

Li Wenyuan leaned back in his chair and asked in surprise: "The article is definitely enough, but there are still some heavyweight works missing." Although there are ten great gods to join the publicity, those guys are all old fritters who have dragged their drafts. I used to be on the same front as them, but now I have to keep urging. ”

"I have very few manuscripts in my hands now, your "The Martian" and my "Out of the Galaxy", as well as Fu Xiaochen's "Cultivation Frenzy", Tan Changyu's "Dream Vending Machine", "Antique Shop", and the rest are needed. Hu Mengxuan said that her new book will be handed over to me at the beginning of next month, I don't know if it will arrive, "Floating World" is said to have just begun. ”

Lin Han knew that these people were among the ten great gods they were targeting, and with so many powerful authors joining, their respective book fans alone should be able to support good sales.

After the suspension and resumption of "Fantasy Times", the sales volume is really difficult to predict, and the editor-in-chief of the magazine is busy with these things all day long, how many copies should be printed.

And they can also start to contact advertisers in the name of these great gods, and magazines with great gods are more likely to succeed than other magazines, just like Jiangnan supported "Dragon Text-Manga Novel".

A magazine is basically losing money at the beginning, and only slowly turning losses into profits is the best choice, and it is impossible to sell hundreds of thousands of copies directly as soon as it comes up.

Although so many great gods have been invited, the progress of everyone's book is different, and a person with a strong sense of consciousness like Lin Han does not need to urge the manuscript at all, the novel will be published first and then handed over to the magazine for serialization.

Lin Han suddenly thought of something, and he opened his mouth to ask, "That mosquito, has your book been handed over to the publishing house?" ”

"I signed an agreement with Chongqing Publishing House for 5 books, and "Out of the Galaxy" is the fourth book, and I have already handed it in. But I'll publish it at the end of June, when I can avoid you and promote our magazine. ”

"Why are you avoiding me, I should be avoiding you." Lin Han couldn't cry or laugh, obviously the other party was recognized as a science fiction god.

Li Wenyuan sighed, "Do you know what the people at Chongqing Publishing House say, now that you are at your most popular, don't take any science fiction novels with you, otherwise you will become cannon fodder." I still want to sell a few more books to earn a pension, so you can just let me go. ”

During this period of time, Lin Han has indeed been in the limelight, and he has really made a name for himself abroad, and even his popularity in China has grown rapidly, just like "The Three-Body Problem" on the earth.

If it weren't for winning the Hugo Awards, there might not be so many readers who pay attention to "The Three-Body Problem", and the popularity will be discounted, and it will definitely still be popular due to quality reasons.

After winning the Hugo Award, a series of reports and official commendations from domestic mainstream media brought "The Three-Body Problem" into the public eye. Before the Hugo Awards, it could only be famous in the small circle of science fiction, and it did not cross the obstacles of the circle.
