Chapter 721: Fan Fiction

To be honest, Lin Han has seen a lot of flash mobs, but they are usually related to other topics, and he didn't expect American fans to bring such a big surprise to him. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

He didn't waste much time either, just typed the words "Matrix Flash" into the search engine, and after pressing the enter key, a whole bunch of relevant results appeared!

The original flash mob is when a group of people who are connected through the Internet or mobile phones, but do not know each other in real life, gather in a specific place and time, perform unexpected actions at the same time, and then quickly disperse.

Of course, the large-scale flash mobs nowadays are generally strictly rehearsed, so that the movements are neat and beautiful, rather than standing together and dancing around.

Lin Han clicked on a video and found that this video had more than 2 million views, and the video titled "Times Square Matrix Flash Mob, It Turns Out That You Can Still Play Like That" is 5 minutes long!

At the beginning of the video, Times Square is as prosperous and crowded as ever, with everyone walking in a hurry, only foreign tourists stopping and watching from time to time.

The big screens around the square are constantly changing all kinds of advertisements, and Lin Han even saw that the Sichuan Tourism Bureau is using pandas to attract Americans to travel, which is simply scheming, who doesn't know that foreigners love to die!

Everything in front of the camera seems so natural, no passerby feels anything wrong, it's just an ordinary afternoon.

Who knew that when the theme song of "The Matrix" sounded, handsome guys wearing black stand-up collar trench coats and the same sunglasses as Neo appeared from the crowd from all directions, freezing the hurried passers-by in place.

They all stopped one by one, and then stopped to watch, after all, flash mobs are not something that can be encountered at any time, and many viewers at the scene raised their mobile phones and began to shoot, wanting to see how these people are going to play!

A few people dressed as Neo and dozens of people dressed as Agent Smith appeared on the scene, and they stood in a line with discipline, combining martial arts and dance, dancing to the rhythm, and even joining the plot.

The Matrix's agents try to capture Neo, but Neo fights back and beats them to the ground!

With exciting music and fast and slow editing, this group of flash mobs really attracted attention, and more and more viewers gathered around!

The dance-like fight looked very cool, but it didn't last long, and within two minutes the music stopped, and the flash mob suddenly took off their sunglasses, suits, and trench coats, and then disappeared into the crowd.

Come in a hurry, go in a hurry, I can't wait to meet, their appearance and disappearance are so sudden, so that the audience is stunned at the same time, and they can't help but applaud!

This is already very good as a spontaneous move by fans, Lin Han copied the address of the video, and then posted it on his Weibo to share it with netizens.

"I found a great pop-up video today that you can check out. ”

After he posted it, he closed Weibo, otherwise the successive message reminders would make him collapse!

……

The New Year's Day holiday is over, and Lin Han handed over "The Fall of Hyperion", which had been completed and revised several times, to the National People's Congress Publishing House, so that they could slowly get busy with the rest of the things.

For ordinary authors, it takes a lot of work to submit and edit the review, but when it comes to Lin Han, it is a green light, and no editor even dares to say that he is qualified to revise Lin Han's work!

They usually go directly to Lin Han's work, at most to check whether there are any typos, or whether the use of punctuation marks is wrong, or that a positive word is used as a derogatory term, and the context in which an idiom is used is abnormal.

In fact, Lin Han is now asking the publishing house to typeset, and his own agency is to contact the painting to make the cover of the novel and various illustrations!

The design of a book before printing is indispensable, and the book number required for publication must also be applied to the above, as for printing, it is much simpler.

After this set of processes, it is estimated that the Spring Festival will pass!

Physical book publishing is far more troublesome than online serialization, and online novels can be released as long as they are written in a few thousand words, and there is no need to pay attention to anything, and even whether there is a cover or not is almost the same.

At least this time Lin Han can have a relaxed Spring Festival, don't worry about the box office of the movie, don't worry about the sales of novels, and don't have to run publicity!

The response from the People's Congress Publishing House was very fast, and not long after Lin Han sent it, their general manager Zhao Han immediately called Lin Han.

"Mr. Lin, we have received the book. At the current pace, it may not be until early March!"

Originally, Zhao Han called him Lin Han and Xiaolin, but now he also followed the trend and called Mr. Lin, as the cash cow of the National People's Congress Publishing House, Lin Han alone almost bears most of the income and influence.

In the past, the National People's Congress Publishing House was a weak party in the field of publishing and sales, and many large bookstore chains and distributors always defaulted on the final payment, or forcibly returned books that were not out of the contract.

However, since Lin Han's book became popular, it has been much easier to get back!

In order to get new books in advance or on a large scale, some bookstores simply pay in full or sign a zero-return agreement, which greatly liberates the cash flow of the Renmin University Publishing House.

It also gives them the confidence to find more excellent authors to ask for manuscripts, money is confidence, which publishing house to write or not?

There must be a high selection fee and royalties!

The money you can get is useful!

Lin Han also knows his status, his royalties have reached the peak level in China, at the highest point of the entire industry, and even the publishing house plans to increase the royalty to 30% in order to renew the contract with Lin Han for another five years.

"As long as the quality of the publication is guaranteed, follow your plan. Lin Han plans to give himself a vacation and enjoy life.

Zhao Han originally had a bunch of things, and he said succinctly: "I found that many works on the Internet are being recreated based on your novels, and some fanworks have even begun to make money." Do you think it's necessary for the law to intervene and get them to stop this violation?"

"The more fan fiction there is, the more popular our books are. There's no need to kill them all, just let them write!" Lin Han saw it very openly, and didn't want to be a villain, but he wanted to directly empower everyone and let talented people create freely.

In fact, the copyright problem has become more and more serious in recent years, and Jin Daxia sued another well-known writer in court a few days ago, just because Jiangnan's debut work used many characters in Jin Daxia's novels as the basis!

As a result, many fanfiction on the Internet hastened to delete or be blocked, and even some related infinite stream works were quickly revised, for fear of getting into trouble.

Speaking of fanworks, all countries and periods are no exception, and the so-called fanfiction refers to the use of existing novels, comics, characters, storylines or background settings in film and television works, etc., to create novels for recreation!

According to this concept, the Qing Dynasty's novel "Dangkou Zhi" was written from "Water Margin", and "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is counted as the same person of "Three Kingdoms".

The most profitable fanfiction abroad is probably "Fifty Shades of Grey", this book full of adult erotic content, which was actually a fan fiction of "Twilight" at the beginning!

The original "Fifty Shades of Grey" trilogy was based on the heroes and heroines of "Twilight", but later due to copyright reasons, the identities of the heroes and heroines were modified when the novel was published.

Fan fiction on the Internet abounds, like Lin Han's latest work "The Matrix", there are a lot of dirty girls who write about Neo and Agent Smith, the CP who love and kill each other, and there are also many talented people who are writing sequels or rumors!

For example, the fans of "The Three-Body Problem" are much more serious, and there is even a special fan area in the forum of the Hanlin Academy for Lin Han's fans to irrigate.

Like "Three-Body Problem 4: Song of the Weak", "Once Upon a Time on Earth 4: Difficult Times", "Three-Body Problem 4: Dark Stars" and "Three-Body Problem X", etc., these are all direct continuation of the plot of the Three-Body Problem and give full play to their brains.

"Galactic Age": When the Trimaran Fleet meets a star observer from M78, "Staggered Tracks", the story begins with Yun Tianming and Ai AA being trapped, and Once Upon a Time on Earth: "The Seeds of Civilization"!

There are even the famous "I am your wall-breaker series", "Wall-facing Snowden, I am your wall-breaker", "Wall-facing Jin Xen, I am your wall-breaker", "Wall-facing Zhang Zhaozhong, I am your wall-breaker" and so on.

The reason why many original creators don't like fanfiction is largely because these fanfiction blocks the road after the sequel of the novel, and writes some of their ideas in advance, so that they can't write in that direction.

In addition, sometimes some fanfiction also simply recreates the characters, and the rotten girls are matched with Lang, when Neo falls in love with Agent Smith, this kind of beautiful novels emerge in endlessly, which is cute for them, but not so friendly for more people!

Even novels like "Jurassic Park" have fandom, reborn as a velociraptor and conquered the park's overlord Tyrannosaurus rex, and then the two dinosaurs successfully escaped from prison and lived happily ever after.

The better Lin Han's work is, the more fan fiction there is, but he is not as fearful and hostile to fanfiction as the rest of the authors, presumably because he was once one of the readers and tried to continue to write fan works.

Therefore, in the face of Zhao Han's question, Lin Han bluntly refused, "Let them write it, some of these stories are really good, and their brains and creativity are great!"
