The manuscript fee of Nature magazine is definitely not high, and it can even be described as very low, if it is just to earn manuscript fees, science fiction writers, including Lin Han, will not choose it at all. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

People are willing to put their work on Nature because of its huge influence in the world, and the potential benefits will far exceed the manuscript fee!

The next thing is that the staff of the magazine will process the follow-up work documents with Chen Jiaxuan's studio, and as long as the contract is signed, there will basically be no more problems.

Hung up the phone with satisfaction, Lin Han jumped up in the garden excitedly, this should be regarded as a great move, no matter what others think, but to be able to post the novel on "Nature", this can become the most worthy of writing memoirs in the future!

He accomplished something that The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy had not achieved in his previous life, and even though it was the purest science fiction novel of English origin in his previous life, it was not taken by Nature magazine.

Now this regret has been made up for by Lin Han, who is confident that he will bring this book back to its proper height, and will not fall because the author has become himself, and will not fall because of the change of the background of the novel, the names of the characters, and the writing style.

As soon as such exciting news reached the studio, it immediately aroused heated discussions among the staff, and they had all made up for the relevant knowledge, but they didn't expect Lin Han to take down the "Nature" magazine quietly!

Previously, many people on the Internet were speculating about what kind of magazine it was, and everyone had high expectations for Lin Han, thinking that as long as it was a first-line science fiction magazine, it would be acceptable, but this was the famous "Nature"!

"Xiao Tu, what time is it today?" The staff who had just received Lin Han's email was full of surprise, and she subconsciously turned her head to ask the staff next to her about the time.

Xiao Tu, who was busy writing a propaganda manuscript, stopped and checked his mobile phone, and replied: "Sister Zhou, today is February 18th, what's wrong?"

Zhou Yali said in a daze: "It's not April Fool's Day, Mr. Lin said that I should contact the magazine "Nature", and his novel "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" will be serialized in "Nature", and also asked me to negotiate with the editor-in-chief of "Fantasy Age" Tan. I'm a bit square, is this true or false?"

"Is nature the nature in my impression?" Xiao Tu's eyes widened, and his mouth unconsciously opened into an O-shape, and he couldn't close it for a long time.

"It should be that it also has an English name, nature, which is the main issue of Nature magazine, not a classified publication. Teacher Lin is so powerful, he can serialize novels in places where others specialize in sending high-end papers! Mom, I'm afraid to call!"

Several people around also came over one after another, they looked at Zhou Yali and Xiao Tu stunned, and couldn't help urging: "What exciting news to tell me and share it with you!"

"Do you know? Mr. Lin's new book is going to be serialized in Nature!" Zhou Yali pointed to her monitor to prove that she was not wrong.

"What kind of magazine is Nature, is it awesome?"

"you, I haven't heard of Nature, hurry up and go to Qiandu, you can check it to know how amazing this magazine is!"

"Mr. Lin, what has been finalized, we don't even know about this matter."

In the office, these staff members were talking about it, and they couldn't figure out how Lin Han did it, and then Chen Jiaxuan came out after hearing the noisy sound outside, she knew the specific situation.

"Okay, okay, everyone, don't argue, it's just Nature. Don't be intimidated when you negotiate the contract with them, the basic treatment is already clear anyway, just communicate the time and the content of each issue. This content must be decided by both of us, and it must be kept as confidential as possible, so that no one will make a big fuss about it. ”

Zhou Yali nodded and agreed, it was the first time she had dealt with the most prestigious magazines and periodicals abroad, and she was a little apprehensive, which was completely different from China.

Xiao Tu was heartless, she opened her mouth and asked: "Sister Xuan, didn't you know about it a long time ago?" ”

"Before, it was just an intention, the other party did not promise anything, and now there is substantial progress. Yali is very busy, you can also help out. Chen Jiaxuan said lightly, if there is no finalized project, it is not suitable for fanfare, and making a fortune in silence is the last word!

"I estimate that the sales of Nature magazine will increase quite a bit!"

……

Lin Han was busy in the kitchen humming a song, he pinched his watch to calculate the time when his girlfriend would come back, now that the steak was fried in the pan, and the wine brought from France was also taken out of the small cellar, this dinner was regarded as a miniature celebration banquet.

The range hood sucked away the fumes wafting in the kitchen, and after Lin Han heard Chen Jiaxuan's voice coming back, he said, "My dear, you came back just in time." How cooked do you want your steak?"

"Five points, you're in a good mood!"

Chen Jiaxuan took off her coat in the heated room, leaving only a slim-fitting thin white sweater, and after washing her hands with hand sanitizer, she came to the restaurant.

At this time, a bouquet of blue enchantresses and perfumed lilies was already placed next to the dining table, and the atmosphere was very good, and the scented candles were quietly burning on the edge of the room, and the silver knives and forks looked exquisite.

Under the dim candlelight, Lin Han gently shook the goblet full of red wine, the fruity aroma of grapes diffused in the glass, and before he started drinking, he was already intoxicated by Chen Jiaxuan's beautiful eyes!

A proper little romance helps to increase the interest between couples, and a good relationship needs to be maintained all the time.

After eating and drinking, Chen Jiaxuan turned on the home theater, and she played the classic love movie "Notting Hill", Lin Han leaned on the sofa and admired the romantic love performed by the big-mouthed beauty, but secretly thought to himself, why didn't the big-mouthed Julia win an Oscar in this world?

Thinking about things, Chen Jiaxuan whispered in his ear several times in a row but there was no response.

"What did you just say?"

"I said the proofs of your novel have been sent to the London editorial office. Every week, the editors of Nature meet to work on the issue that will be published in two weeks. Then, on Monday and Tuesday of the following week, the DTP will prepare a large sample according to the layout instructions. The rest of the magazine was to be prepared within a week, before the final layout was photographed and the film sent to printing plants in England, the United States, and Japan. That means your novel is coming out on Monday, two weeks later. ”

Lin Han shook his head, "Let's watch a movie, today we are going to stay away from work." ”

Chen Jiaxuan stretched her body, she picked up two popcorns and put them in her mouth, "Okay, okay, you have the final say." ”

……

With Lin Han's side finalizing the serialization of "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy", "Fantasy Age" also synchronized with "Nature" magazine, striving to get the release of the two on the same line.

As a weekly magazine, Nature magazine publishes 3,000 words of English novels every week, which is more than 10,000 words a month.

"Fantasy Times" is a monthly magazine, which is released at the beginning of each month, and it publishes 15,000 words in one go, and 80,000 words will be serialized in five months.

With this kind of nuclear-weapon-level mass killer in hand, Tan Lin, the editor-in-chief of "Fantasy Age", can't wait to announce this good news to the outside world, and publicize it as soon as possible so that readers can buy or even book a whole year!

It happened that during this time, Lin Han's Weibo, Twitter, and other social software stopped updating, as if the world had evaporated, and readers were very concerned about his recent situation, which also made them feel at ease.

So Lin Han coldly changed a Weibo and said: "I have just finished the state of retreat codeword, and I would like to share two good news with you. One is that the English version of the complete works of "The Three-Body Problem" has been listed, and everyone who wants to collect it can buy it. The second is the completion of the writing of "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy", which will be serialized simultaneously at home and abroad. Everyone locks in the March issue of the Fantasy Era, and the next few months will accompany you to have a good spring. As for foreign friends, no matter where you are, you can buy "Nature" (Nature magazine) and serialize a part of the chapters every week!"

There was a thunder on the ground, whether it was readers or writers, they were all bombarded by Lin Han's last sentence, especially those scientific researchers!

Serializing science fiction in Nature magazine, sure it's not a fantasy?

How many scientific research staff wrote papers and submitted them to the editorial office of the journal "Nature", and then were ruthlessly beaten back, why can Lin Han use science fiction novels to be in this magazine?

Countless questions are in the minds of netizens, and even many people begin to doubt the authenticity of the news!

However, "Nature" also has a Chinese version of the website, they not only opened Twitter and Facebook accounts, but also had an official account on Weibo, which immediately forwarded and recognized Lin Han's status: "Looking forward to Lin Han's science fiction novel, this is the first writer to serialize a long-form science fiction novel since the inception of "Nature"!"

That's right, Lin Han not only appeared in "Nature", but even asked the magazine to make an exception for him, becoming the first writer to serialize! Although "Nature" has published many miniature science fiction novels before, they are basically very short in length, and there has never been a writer who can occupy several pages of content in each issue like Lin Han.

This is a change for Nature, and a shock for the rest of the world, this is no longer a landmine, it has become a nuclear-weapon-level sensation! )
