Chapter 277: Reader or Yilin?
After the first-day sales results came out, those who shouted that Lin Han's science fiction would not adapt to the soil immediately disappeared, and by the way, deleted their posts and remarks, as if they had never appeared at all. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
His novels not only adapted to the soil of online literature, but even took root on it, attracting many people to return to science fiction.
For some adults, science fiction is a memory of their school days, and after graduating from school and entering society, the books they read have also changed, and they prefer novels such as history, military and Xianxia.
When books such as "Jurassic Park" and "The Three-Body Problem" broke into their sight, this kind of memory that had been forgotten in their youth resurfaced.
It's still the same taste, it's still the same recipe, and it's fascinating to look at.
Many people have even begun to recommend other books in the readership, most of the people who read novels have been short of books for a long time, but now these books can quench their hunger and thirst, and they can read slowly and leisurely with sufficient quality and sufficient spiritual food.
This is not a person, but a type of person, who found their youth through these science fiction novels, and even some people came up with the idea of collecting physical copies after reading these e-books of Lin Han, and took action.
Lin Han's science fiction works sold 200,000 yuan in one day, and even those short stories have many fans, which is a very worthy celebration.
In the book review area of these novels, there is a lot of discussion about the plot, and some advertising posts were deleted by the management in time, and there are more readers of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.
At the same time, the Hanlin Academy Forum is also trying to recruit new talents, as a forum spontaneously operated by readers, it has become a base for Linhan readers, and it plays an important role every time.
No writer has ever enjoyed such treatment, readers support Lin Han without asking for anything in return, and these backbones support the entire forum, making the people who come to eat melons feel like they are home.
Lin Han's novel sales momentum is still very good, although the new book has not yet come out, but the long-term sales ability of his novels is really terrifying, and "I, Robot" at the beginning of the year can still be in the top 50 of the physical book monthly sales list, withstanding wave after wave of new book impact.
All the novels of the same period have fallen out of the charts, but the novels he released before are like boats in the sea, rippling with the waves, but they just won't sink to the bottom of the sea.
Addicted to code words, getting thinner and thinner.
Accompanied by the soothing music in the stereo, Lin Han's mind was highly concentrated, and he focused all his attention on the new book, his hands fluttering on the keyboard like butterflies wearing flowers.
The music from Bandari makes Lin Han feel like he is in the middle of the Alpine forest, collecting the sounds of nature, every song of insects and birds, and every murmur of flowing water relaxes the tense nerves.
Although there is some controversy about Bandari, Lin Han doesn't want to pay attention to those things, and he likes music as well.
Just as he was writing happily, the WeChat reminder on his mobile phone quietly rang.
Lin Han casually pressed to save the document, and then unlocked the phone with his fingerprint to check the specific message.
"Just now we sorted out the work email, and found that "Reader" magazine and "Yilin" have sent you emails, they want your work to be published in the magazine, I will forward the email to your personal email, check it out for yourself."
The nearly ten-second voice message made Lin Han very comfortable to listen to, and he pressed the screen and replied, "I'll take a look at the email and I'll get back to you later." What are you busy with right now? ”
"I'm sitting in the Vogue studio right now, talking to people about what to wear for tomorrow's shoot, and I'm bored."
Chen Jiaxuan used to be a workaholic, but since she fell in love, she has consciously reduced her workload and began to delegate power to the rest, but she still has to be responsible for these major things.
After chatting with his girlfriend for a while, Lin Han opened his mailbox and checked the two emails.
Reader and Yilin are both among the most influential magazines in China, with a very wide range of popularity and readership.
Among them, the circulation of "Reader" ranks first in the domestic periodicals, especially the monthly circulation of "Reader" magazine is the first in China, the fourth in the world's comprehensive periodicals, as early as two thousand years ago it broke through the 6 million mark, in 2003 it reached a record of 8 million copies, every year is constantly growing, now its sales figures are almost stagnant, because of the sales of electronic magazines. There are also Braille, minority and Chinese traditional versions.
As for Yilin, it is a dark horse, founded in 2003, and it only took a few years to become an influential magazine among young readers. It went hand in hand with the old digest magazines "Reader" and "Youth Digest" and became one of the famous troikas.
Of course, Lin Han himself has read these two magazines, in fact, the vast majority of students have read this type of book, and their circulation is not inflated by blowing up balloons, and it was the norm for everyone to have a copy before graduating from junior high school or college.
Even if it is a magazine that makes chicken soup, it can reach this level, which means that this is not ordinary chicken soup for the soul.
Both magazines give students the opportunity to read history, philosophy, emotion and even scientific and technological knowledge, so that young people in the growth period have the opportunity to get in touch with the works of many humanities masters.
With limited sources of information and lack of targeted guidance, many readers acquire knowledge through these complex reading materials, which affects their interests and life values.
Recalling the original years, Lin Han couldn't help but shake his head and laughed, there was a Chinese homework in junior high school in the past, which was to write after reading, and he was writing with "Reader".
When he first read "The Reader", he felt that he was amazed, this is an effect that no essay has in any composition, each article is so beautifully written, so philosophical, as if a new world has been opened.
At that time, people didn't realize that these were the so-called chicken soup for the soul, anyway, Lin Han was shocked and moved.
It wasn't until he got older and thought more that he gradually broke free from this provocative and resonant style of writing.
These magazines provide a framework for people to know more quickly and better about the world when they are young and ignorant of the world, and it is still useful even though it is very simple.
Lin Han's mind was like a wild horse unleashed, and he ran 108,000 miles in an instant, and when he put his thoughts back together, he carefully looked at the content of the email here.
He is a science fiction writer, and he doesn't seem to have much to do with "Reader" and "Yilin", as far as he knows, these two magazines rarely publish science fiction novels, and even the content of novels rarely exceeds 4,000 words.
After carefully reading the contents of these emails, Lin Han couldn't help laughing, they actually invited Lin Han to publish his poems in the magazine.
As magazines with a huge circulation, these two magazines do not lack manuscript sources, so the price of remuneration is somewhat low, and only the price of 1,000 words and 1,000 yuan is given for original and first-time translated works, and the short story essay is 800 words per 1,000.
The rest of the manuscripts, such as humorous jokes, are only 50 yuan each, and humor, tests, intelligence questions, lace, and poems are all 30 yuan each. The price of original poems is higher, 50 yuan a line.
These are all figures for the average author, and the prices of famous writers, essayists, and poets vary greatly.
The editors of these two magazines have probably seen Lin Han's poems posted on the Internet, on the one hand, they want to reprint the poems that have already been published, and at the same time, they want Lin Han's poems that have not been published.
These days, there are not many high-quality poems, most of them are fried cold rice or translated works of foreign poets, from "Seeing and Not Seeing" to "When You Are Old", Lin Han, a cross-border poet, writes quite attractively.
It's just that they don't know that Lin Han still has works like "You Are the April Day in the World" and "If I Haven't Seen the Sun" that have not been released to others.
"3,000 yuan for a poem is quite fair, is it possible to publish a collection of poems?"
Lin Han said to himself, the conditions of the two families are similar, I don't know if they have discussed it or it is just a coincidence.
As a science fiction writer, Lin Han didn't have any poet friends around him, and he didn't know where it was better to write poems, so he simply called Li Wenyuan.
"Mosquito, you can help me analyze and ponder, I received an email from "Reader" and "Yilin" magazine today, and they want me to post poems on it. Which one do you think I should choose? ”
Li Wenyuan was taken aback, "Your question is like asking me whether I will study at Tsinghua University or Peking University when I grow up, it belongs to the series of thinking too much." If you write it yourself for fun, you have to accept other people's harshness and criticism when you officially release it, are you sure that you are ready? ”
"Of course I'm ready, isn't that how the novel I'm writing now is being commented on? Actually, I really want to be a poet, and I'll give you a copy of my poetry collection in the future, don't be polite to me. ”
"Then I'll ask for you, and I'll text you later. You kid is really not doing his job, don't write good science fiction novels, what kind of poetry, don't forget that you are a science fiction writer! ”
Li Wenyuan instructed that he was a member of the All-China Writers' Association, and there were many poets in the All-China Writers' Association, so he could ask him.
