Chapter 624: A Global Writer's Nightmare

As the first few months of the year passed, everyone was talking about Lin Han's lack of succession and Jiang Lang's exhaustion, and for a prolific writer, it was certainly suspicious that he did not release new books for half a year. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

There are even people who maliciously speculate whether Lin Han is afraid of low sales so he doesn't dare to release a novel, so as to stay on the altar!

But they soon couldn't laugh, and with the release of "The Matrix" around the world, Lin Han successfully upgraded from a nightmare for Chinese writers to a nightmare for writers around the world.

For one month in a row, the Chinese Simplified Chinese version and Chinese Traditional Chinese version of "The Matrix" have occupied the first place in the book sales list, which is firmly unshakable!

The performance on the English version is even better, the UK has been No. 1 for 3 consecutive weeks, the U.S. market has been No. 1 for 4 consecutive weeks, and by the time the "Jurassic Park" movie was released, the overseas sales of "The Matrix" had exceeded the 9 million mark and were striving for 10 million.

And its sales in the Chinese market are also not inferior, 7.3 million copies are the highest sales in recent years, and the overseas and local markets combined, it seems to have reached 16 million!

The royalty income brought to Lin Han by this book alone is not less than 200 million yuan, of course, this income will definitely not be available immediately, and it will take three months to half a year at the earliest.

"Philosophy in The Matrix", which shined with the light of "The Matrix", made a lot of money quietly, quietly selling nearly two million copies!

Just when everyone thought that this terrible month was coming to an end, "Jurassic Park", which could take a breath before the arrival of Lin Han's new book "Interstellar", which could ignite the enthusiasm of people all over the world to watch movies, was released again.

Needless to say, the popularity of this movie can make writers and publishers around the world speechless is that this movie is based on Lin Han's novel of the same name!

That "Jurassic Park" returned to the reader's attention in the popularity of the movie, especially after hearing that the movie only adapted 20% of the content of the novel!

20% is so exciting, 100% of the novel is still enough?

Look, must see!

As long as a movie, TV series or online drama adapted from a novel is broadcast, it will cause the sales of the original work to rise against the trend to varying degrees.

Even after the original novel of "The Hunger Games" sold 20 million copies worldwide, as soon as the movie was released, it sold another 10 million in six days!

This kind of driving ability is very amazing, and those who have watched the movie want to read the novel again, looking for what is the difference, and whether there will be an explanation in the novel for the metaphors and easter eggs that are not understood in the movie.

The first few months were silent, and the middle months were completely Lin Han's world, and his own books were fighting on the sales charts, so that the rest of the people had to sigh!

Yes, the top spot in the sales charts of "The Matrix" was overturned by dinosaurs, and this is not the first time that the novel version of "Jurassic Park" has returned to the top position.

It debuted at the top of the charts more than two years ago, and has been spurred on by almost every year since, with Jurassic Park staying in the top 10 for two weeks and eight weeks in the top 10 after the Super Bowl trailer in February!

Now, in mid-June, it has returned to the top of the sales charts with the success of the film, and it is several positions ahead of the second-place "The Matrix".

This novel is probably the most sold since Lin Han wrote it, it was inconspicuous at the beginning, but it has been sold all the way to today, and has achieved more than 20 million sales worldwide, and it is still sprinting to the top in a steady stream, and is expected to reach the level of 30 million copies!

This is the effect of hitching a ride on Hollywood movies, which can repeatedly increase the sales of fiction works, and maybe in a few years, when "Jurassic Park 2" is released, it will launch another Jedi counterattack.

In fact, in Lin Han's original world, the cumulative global sales of the original novel "Jurassic Park" exceeded 200 million copies, and it has been on the annual best-selling list in the United States for ten consecutive years, making it the world's best-selling science fiction novel!

Now there is still a considerable distance from that number, but Lin Han can be regarded as having hope, after all, if it is hot in the next ten years, it is only a matter of time to accumulate more than 100 million.

It's obviously impossible to sell 100 million copies in one go, and even today's "Jurassic Park" has only been translated into 12 languages, and it has not really become popular all over the world!

For example, there are no translations in the official languages of many countries, and readers there can only buy the general English version in order to read the novel, but not everyone is willing to read the English version, and even many people's English proficiency is actually not high.

If there is a suitable language version, they will burst into amazing purchasing power, and translating is not a matter of a day or two.

……

On the streets of Copenhagen, Denmark, Jefferson, a handsome young man who had just come out of the cinema, said to his friends: "This movie is so shocking, we have seen it before!"

Victor Gary nodded approvingly, "This is the level that Steven should have, he didn't look good at all when he made biopics a few years ago." ”

"Actually, I don't understand one thing, it's said that IMAX is more effective, otherwise we'll go and see the IMAX version tomorrow!"

Jefferson suggested that he had been completely hooked on the film, which for the average viewer was almost the most amazing science fiction movie they had ever seen.

"I have that idea too. Hey, did you say the dinosaurs in Jurassic Park were dinosaurs from tens of millions of years ago?" asked Victor as he rode his bicycle.

This thought had been haunting his mind, and he could not find an answer.

Copenhagen was the bicycle capital of the automobile age, and cycling was already a trend, and with its flat terrain and plenty of bike paths, it is said that there are many times as many bicycles as its inhabitants!

These knights skilfully galloped through the streets and alleys, leaving behind one figure after another.

Faced with Victor's question, Barton said: "It should be, since it is a cloned dinosaur, it must be similar to the original dinosaur." ”

Jefferson gave a different view, "There are no two leaves in the world that are exactly the same, and people will never step into the same river in their lives." Even though these dinosaurs were cloned, the movie mentions incomplete repairs to the DNA of these dinosaurs, and scientists say that they have to manually fill in the gaps in the chemical structure sequence. Like, like what?"

Jefferson couldn't think of adjectives for a while, but Victor's eyes lit up slightly, "The DNA of the dinosaur is like a photoshopped photo, basically the same as the original, but it has been patched up in some places. ”

"Hey, these dinosaurs are artificial creatures that can be constantly upgraded like software, and we can constantly modify them according to our needs, such as not letting them escape, not letting them reproduce on their own. Barton recalled the plot from the movie.

"Life will find its way!" the three of them looked at each other and said in unison.

Jefferson looked at the bookstore next to the bike path, where there were a few Jurassic Park posters in front of the bookstore, and he suggested, "Why don't we buy a book and go back, we can't pause to watch the movie, at least we can find some clues from the novel." ”

Barton immediately responded, "Good suggestion! I just wanted to see it." ”

The trio immediately parked their bikes on the side of the road, then pushed open the door of the bookstore and walked in.

At this time, the bookstore was quiet, the shelves were neatly placed, there was almost no one inside, the boss was wearing reading glasses and was looking down at the book, and he didn't look up after hearing the sound of footsteps, and he was completely immersed in the world of books.

Victor tugged at Jefferson's sleeve, pointed to a stack of books not far away, and said, "Found it, this is what we want." ”

"Look, there's a special comment next to this!" Barton said, pointing to the small blackboard, not knowing if it was distributed by the bookseller or the slogan written by the boss himself, but he was quite impressed by it.

As a pioneering work of dinosaur culture, this book constructs the public's understanding of dinosaurs, setting off an unprecedented, interesting and sweeping dinosaur craze that has swept the world. As a science fiction novel, the genetic engineering and mathematical theories involved in the book are realistic, and the reflection on the relationship between human behavior, scientific and technological inventions, and natural ecology makes people think. "Jurassic Park" is the most technologically valuable thriller to date, and it is also the most hair-making science fiction novel!"

The three of them each picked up a book, and instead of rushing out for a ride, they walked to the small table next to the bed and sat down, intending to read it.

Jefferson couldn't wait to open the book, wanting to see if the novel, which claims to be the originator of global dinosaur culture, would solve the questions they had discussed!

Page after page, Victor and Barton completely forgot about the payment, and the owner of the bookstore did not come to urge, everything was so quiet, everyone was deeply attracted by the content in front of them.

"We don't want these animals to survive in the wilderness and make them dependent on lisaline. I add a gene that produces a unique and defective one when proteins are metabolized. The consequence is that these animals cannot produce ionic acid on their own and must ingest it from the outside world.

If they can't get enough food from the outside world, we usually give them Isaline tablets. Within twelve hours, they fall into a coma and then die.

These animals are genetically engineered to survive in the real world. They can only live in Jurassic Park. They are not free at all, they are purely our prisoners!"

Even later, Victor finally learned what was not described in detail in the movie, the scientists in Jurassic Park controlled the chromosomes and the breeding environment in the dinosaurs, so that they all became female dinosaurs!

Thinking about it carefully, when the bright lights came on, Jefferson rubbed his eyes, and just read more than thirty pages in one breath, he looked out the window at the sunset, and said to his friends, "Hey, we have to go home." Go and pay. ”

When the owner of the bookstore saw these three identical books, he couldn't help but laugh and said, "Here, this is a movie coupon worth 10 crowns, and anyone who buys this book will get one free." ”

"Wow, there's such a promotion, we just want to see it again!" Jefferson hurriedly put away the coupon, why not go if it can be cheaper!
