The seven-limbed bucket is probably the most unusual alien, although they are terrible in appearance, they treat humans very well, and they have a gentle and cute feeling. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Han Xuelin felt that his brain was a little broken just by looking at Lin Han's description, and he really didn't know what kind of pain and torture the first person to learn English went through!

The best part of the story is that language affects people's thinking patterns, which in turn affects the way people perceive the world.

The way humans perceive time is linear, and the mind slowly moves forward with the timeline, recalling the past, perceiving the present, and knowing nothing about the future!

The way the seven-limbed bucket perceives is simultaneous, they write a paragraph like drawing a picture, alas, when the first stroke falls, they already know where the last stroke should fall, and they put together a paragraph like a puzzle.

The past, present, and future are spread out in front of them like this, and after mastering this kind of thinking, the heroine Qiao Yu has the ability to predict the future!

She foresaw her daughter's life in advance, saw in her mind in advance that her daughter was born, babbling, gradually growing up, passing through adolescence, and dying in a rock climbing accident.

In fact, whether it is science fiction or science fiction movies, the real challenge they face is the unpredictability of the future, and we humans will never be able to truly understand the thinking of those aliens, because the gap between us is too big!

In the face of these problems, the novel "Arrival" gives mankind a little enlightenment, even if humans do not know everything, even if the communication between humans and aliens is not perfect, but people can learn to overcome these interstellar cultural barriers, so as to explore interstellar culture!

After reading these tens of thousands of words of short stories, Han Xuelin looked at the magazine and thought, this is indeed a very attractive work he has seen, and everyone's future seems to be an established fate.

Throughout the ages, the most tragic of all kinds of literary works is the struggle against fate that cannot be escaped.

Suddenly, he felt that the reason why human beings are happy is because they don't understand their own destiny, and they are lucky to live in ignorance!

If you know that your future will be a tragedy, can you still be happy now?

"If you don't know, you still think that Teacher Lin is a female author, this female thinking is really good!"

The ending of the novel is that the heroine Qiao Yu has figured it out, even though she knows that the future ending is disillusionment, she still chooses to experience the happiness and beauty in it.

The whole novel describes the daughter's words, and it always reveals the sweetness and pride of being a mother. Lin Han did not describe any details of the heroine's mention of her ex-husband's divorce, and she didn't even want to remember her ex-husband's new love.

What she is looking for is how this experience of being a mother in her life makes her feel!

Whether it's unknown or known, it's certainly not wrong to love life!

After Han Xuelin finished reading Lin Han's works, he thought about communicating with his friends, and there were always some thoughts in his heart that were not unhappy.

……

The bookstore and newsstand owners in Longxi University Town have bought quite a lot of goods outside, and they have enough confidence in Lin Han's work, and this magazine will definitely sell well.

Normally, all works related to Lin Han could sell dozens of copies early in the morning, but today Peng Yu only sold five or six copies, which is no different from usual!

"What's going on today, is it because of the New Year's Day holiday, and these students are sleeping lazy?"

Peng Yu said to himself, he is an ordinary newsstand here, usually selling newspapers, periodicals and magazines, drinks, tobacco and alcohol.

Although you can't make a lot of money selling magazines, it's better than doing nothing.

There are many pedestrians passing by, but not many stop to buy magazines!

With a cigarette in his mouth, he walked to the front stall, put the magazine "Fantasy Times" in the most prominent position, and looked at it with some concern.

Because I wasn't worried about the sales of Lin Han and this magazine, I bought 50 copies in one go, and I usually have about 10 copies!

But now that it can't be sold, could it be that Lin Han is too angry?

Peng Yu swallowed the clouds, and he began to worry about whether his approach was too bold and radical, even though he was in his fifties, he did this kind of thing.

If the magazine can't be sold, you can only refund 30% of it, and most of it will rot in your hands!

"Wasn't it okay before, the novels and movies sold so well, why did they get to the magazine so miserable, is it a false red!"

Originally, many old faces who often came to buy books didn't come, but this time it was estimated that he would lose a lot, and he couldn't help but want to scold Lin Han for a few words, and the hundreds of yuan were gone!

Until noon, he had only sold 8 copies, which was too anxious.

So Peng Yu simply called another colleague in this area and chatted, "Lao Gao, how are your sales today?" ”

"It's no different from usual, it's just that it's not dead or alive." Gao Juncai asked rhetorically, "Are you selling particularly well?" ”

Peng Yu was not in the mood to joke, he sighed and said: "It's a good fart, I bought fifty copies of "Fantasy Era", and told the dealer to send dozens of copies after printing. Less than 10 copies have been sold so far. Why do you say that Lin Han's appeal suddenly failed, this is simply a pitfall! ”

"I'm not much better, I begged my grandfather to worship my grandmother before I got eighty copies, but fortunately I didn't give me a hundred, otherwise I would have sold out according to the current situation! The Yiyun Book House is also too much, they eat meat, and they don't even give us soup to drink! ”

Gao Juncai spit out a mouthful of phlegm, his heart was extremely unbalanced, this kind of big bookstore actually snatched away the main business belonging to the newsstand!

"What's the matter with this Yiyun Library? Hear what's going on! ”

"Do you know why Age of Fantasy is selling poorly today? It's not that Lin Han's appeal is no longer good, but Yiyun Bookstore directly cooperates with the students of five or six schools in the university town, and it is said that they have bought 1,200 copies in one go, and they are all packaged and sold at the original price! ”

The potential readers of "Fantasy Times" in the entire university town are about this number, and Yiyun Bookstore alone has sold so much, no wonder these small bookstores and newsstands can't sell them!

Peng Yu hammered the table hard with his hand, he didn't expect that the reason for his poor sales would be like this, could it really be rotten in his hands?

Over there, Gao Juncai continued: "Actually, we can still sell it if we sell it slowly. They can't take all the readers, it's just that we can't buy them again. ”

"Alas, if you can sell out, you will burn high incense!"

As the sun came out in the afternoon, the sun was shining almost all over the country, and the number of pedestrians on the streets gradually increased, and one magazine after another was sold.

……

On the first day of the magazine's release, Fantasy Times sold more magazines than the entire month of the previous month!

The way to make money is not to rely on publishing publications, and there are very few people who really rely on selling magazines to make money.

Because the cost of printing, circulation, and necessary labor are quite high, the selling price of these magazines sometimes just makes up for the cost of publishing the magazine!

Nowadays, the price of everything is rising, and the price of authors' manuscripts must naturally also increase, otherwise why would others publish their works in this magazine?

Like in "Fantasy Era", the remuneration for excellent manuscripts has risen to more than 1,000 yuan per thousand words, although Lin Han is the boss, but the release of works is still business-like, and he got the price of 20,000 yuan per thousand words.

In other words, his "Advent" has a total of 37,000 words, and the magazine will pay him a pre-tax remuneration of 750,000 yuan!

The average remuneration of the rest of the authors is more than 500 yuan per thousand words, and a novel often costs tens of thousands of words, and the pressure on the remuneration of magazines is actually relatively heavy.

"Fantasy Times" is not the same as government periodicals such as "Tianya", "Sprout", "People's Literature", and "Selected Novels", which can receive special funding from governments at all levels!

The money invested and the tax incentives will allow the literary magazines to save a lot of money, and without government funding as subsidies, "Age of Fantasy" will have to rely on itself.

For magazines, the most important source of income is corporate product advertising, which is a lot of money, and there are many advertisements in each issue of the magazine, which is inevitable!

Magazines are advertised at different prices depending on the number of circulations and readerships.

For example, aviation magazines, although the circulation is not particularly large, but the readership is all people who take planes, they have enough spending power, and the advertisements in this type of magazine are relatively high-end products, so the price will be very expensive!

With magazines like "Fantasy Times", the readership is particularly wide, especially young readers, and with an average circulation of more than 2 million copies, it will not be easy to charge for advertising.

The price of each issue of the magazine will be recalculated, and the price will naturally be different for different positions such as the cover page, the catalog page, the ordinary single page, the back cover, the title page, etc.!

The price of the front and back covers is the highest, reaching a terrifying 700,000 yuan, and the cheapest place has to cost 300,000 or 400,000 yuan.

This is the magazine after becoming famous and developing, ordinary magazines have to work hard to attract sponsors and advertisers, and the price is very low!

Therefore, every magazine wants to sell well, and the higher the average sales, the higher the price will naturally be in the advertising negotiation, and you get what you pay for.

Among the top 25 newspapers and periodicals with the most advertising value in the previous statistics, there is no place in "Fantasy Times", which can earn 30 or 40 million yuan a year, but it can't be on the list.

Old big newspapers like "People's Daily" and "Economic Daily" can exceed 100 million in advertising sales every six months, easily crushing "Fantasy Times".

After all, newspapers are updated every day, and many of these magazines and periodicals are only published once a week, half a month or a month, so the disadvantage is quite big!

There are three main parts that affect the value of media advertising: the number of readers, the quality of readers, and the competitive situation, with urban newspapers such as the Beijing News and automobile magazines, fashion, IT, and economic and management magazines occupying a leading position.

According to the financial statements sent by Tan Lin to Lin Han, "Fantasy Times" has a profit of 32 million yuan this year, which is like a miracle for a magazine that has been republished for less than two years!

In addition to leaving some assets to maintain the operation of the magazine, Lin Han can get about 6 million according to his 20% shareholding ratio, and the rest of the big boss is taken by Li Wenyuan, the big boss.
