Chapter 34: Good News Spreads

The busy road is densely trafficked, and the snail-like vehicles are constantly killing time, and from a distance, it has almost become the largest parking lot in the country, and no matter what good or bad cars can only be resigned to.

Lin Han sat in the passenger seat, he turned his head to look at the familiar and somewhat unfamiliar building outside, a trace of nostalgia flashed in his eyes, where in the past he could be casually parted.

As if seeing that Lin Han's interest was not high, Chen Jiaxuan took the initiative to find a topic, and she said: "Do you know, after the people in our studio heard that you wrote a novel, they all expressed their incredulity and were directly frightened. ”

"You're helping me promote again?" Lin Han said helplessly, he really didn't care about the opinions of these people, whether he was surprised or proud, he would not have an extra piece of meat or a little less money because of this.

"What they found out when they were sorting out your files and materials, after all, they are legal affairs, and they don't let them pass their eyes, I dare to bring the contract to you to sign it casually, that's a trick."

"My money is not enough for you to stuff your teeth, so you need to trap me?"

Lin Han asked rhetorically and said, he hoped that this journey would end as late as possible, so that he could chat with Chen Jiaxuan for a while and increase mutual familiarity.

Chen Jiaxuan turned his head to look at Lin Han, and suddenly asked solemnly, "Have you really planned your own development route?" If you write martial arts novels, I can make you a best-selling author in China, and then carry out star packaging, so that your novels can blossom with multiple copyrights. But you are a science fiction writer, the domestic science fiction environment is very bad, copyright derivation is almost a big problem, and even the novel itself is difficult to sell. ”

"In fact, this writing is accidental, and you don't know if a novel you write will be popular, or how popular it will be. This is completely unpredictable, I can only say that every step of the way is taken, and the best choice is made at the moment. ”

Lin Han believes that his science fiction novels are no problem, and the quality is guaranteed if they can be circulated on the earth for so long. But excellent works sometimes also need to depend on luck, in case it waits for ten or eight years for word of mouth to ferment, ask yourself, Lin Han feels that he can't last so long, and he must write new works.

The plan can't keep up with the changes, and even if the decision is wrong now, there is still a chance to correct it later.

As he spoke, the snail-like speed of the car turned into a turtle-like speed, which made people see that there was hope, and the red brake lights lit up one after another.

At this time, Lin Han's mobile phone rang, he quickly picked it up and saw that it was actually Wang Yifan calling, and he didn't know what else was going on with the intern editor of "Science Fiction World" at this time.

"Hey, Mr. Lin? I'm Xiao Wang in the science fiction world, and I'm calling to congratulate you now. ”

Lin Han was stunned by these words, and he replied and asked, "What do I have to congratulate?" ”

Wang Yifan did not play tricks, he quickly answered Lin Han's doubts: "The sales of this issue of the magazine have been close to the highest record in the history of our magazine, after the first batch of 800,000 copies of the magazine were sold, and now the second batch of magazines has been completed, but the dealer's response is still very good, more than 500,000 copies have been sold, and the remaining 300,000 is not a problem at all, and we are likely to complete the task of sprinting to sell the magazine in December." ”

The first and second batch of magazines have sold so well that they have sold more than one million copies, which is a hurdle between ordinary magazines and best-selling magazines.

Before this time, although there were one or two issues selling more than one million every year, they were just just by, and the rest of the time was only seven or eight hundred thousand copies, and the monthly average still did not meet the requirements.

But now, with the best-selling 11 issues of the magazine, it can basically be said that this issue will exceed 1.5 million copies, which greatly raises the average sales volume of the previous months and helps the magazine to win the best-selling magazine at the end of the year.

Hearing Wang Yifan's words, Lin Han couldn't help but pouted at Chen Jiaxuan on the side: "Then this should be my congratulations to you, the sales momentum is so good, once you win the best-selling logo, your work and rewards should increase significantly." ”

There is a clear gap between best-selling magazines and ordinary magazines in attracting advertisers, and the higher the sales and the greater the influence, the higher the advertising fee, just like the TV station charges.

Satellite TV-level TV stations must charge higher fees than local stations, and the same satellite TV stations, TV stations with high ratings charge higher than TV stations with low ratings.

Best-selling magazines are evaluated by the State Administration of Press and Publication at the end of each year, and one of the hard indicators is that the average monthly sales must reach the million level.

"Science Fiction World" has met the rest of the conditions before, but every time it is a cut short of sales, even if it is impossible to find some science fiction gods to post articles every month to increase sales.

"Mr. Lin, our magazine wants to hit the high sales again in December, so we specially ask you to write a manuscript, as long as there is a suitable manuscript, our price can give the highest treatment of 5000 words per 1,000 words, no longer 1,000 words or 500 words or something."

This price exceeded Lin Han's imagination, he really didn't know that he could get so much, "In fact, I really have a manuscript I want to give to you, you can see if it's suitable." I'll ask my agent to contact you later, and I'll negotiate the price with her. ”

Wang Yifan originally wanted to try to persuade Lin Han to write a new book, but everyone agreed so consciously, although he was very puzzled where Lin Han went to find an agent in such a short time, he didn't ask, but said: "Okay, we're waiting for Mr. Lin's new book." That's right,I've digressed.,This time it's mainly to congratulate you.,Douban reading and Amazon reading have sold more than 600,000 copies of the electronic sales.,Many of the comments below are mentioning your "Rural Teacher", so the magazine decided to send you a red envelope, although the money is not much, but it represents a little bit of the magazine's heart, and I hope to accept it. ”

"There are still red envelopes to take, you are really thoughtful."

"In fact, the work with the most popular comments from readers in each issue has the opportunity to get this red envelope, because our manuscript fee setting is still a little worse than those magazines, so we will express our gratitude to you in this way."

Wang Yifan and Lin Han both know very well in their hearts that the reason why this issue of "Science Fiction World" can sell well is not because of how many science fiction fans are mobilized to buy it, but because it accidentally opened up the line of the education system, allowing some teachers, students and parents who usually don't watch "Science Fiction World" much at all to buy it.

The hymns and descriptions of teachers in "The Village Teacher" deeply touched the engineers of the human soul, and the description of learning inspired students to learn, and this kind of positive fiction is naturally popular, even if it seems to be written against a cold rural poverty background.

There is nothing wrong with different interpretations having different perspectives.

"Because the response from teachers across the country is very enthusiastic, the editor of "Teacher's Wenyuan" called us today and wanted to reprint it, and asked your agent to talk to him about specific ideas."
