Lin Han sat in his study and couldn't laugh or cry, more than an hour ago, Zhao Han told himself with great interest that the limited edition books had been sold out, but when he got home, he found that the official website of the National People's Congress Publishing House had been hacked!

More than 120,000 people have now lit up their hearts on the likes page created by the hackers, proving that they really want to buy a book, and the number of people is still soaring. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Everyone else used crowdfunding or something, but Lin Han's readers were good, and they began to force the palace to get up.

They even shouted on the Internet, hoping that more people would join in so that they could buy physical books of The Matrix too!

"These people are really good at playing. ”

Lin Han chuckled twice, he also gave a thumbs up on it, he didn't know what picture would appear, it was obviously related to himself, but he thought it was very interesting.

However, while it was interesting, he regretted his original decision, Lin Han thought that after there were free genuine copies available on the Internet to read, these readers would not need physical books, but he didn't expect so many people to want to buy a copy!

At the same time, the People's Congress Publishing House was busy, and Zhao Han almost roared and yelled at the employees of the Network Technology Department: "What are you all doing to eat, you have been hacked by hackers three times and twice, and now several hours have passed, why hasn't it returned to normal?"

A network security technician Deng Huahan said weakly: "Mr. Zhao, we have never paid too much attention to the official website, leaving too many loopholes, plus our technology and equipment are not up to par, and the other party is a master, so there is no way for the time being." ”

"When I recruited you, I blew it all over the place, and now I say that the technology is not good, what are you doing in normal times, do you play games here every day? I tell you, if you can't get the official website back to normal within an hour, you all pack up your things and leave!"

Zhao Han was angry and didn't fight anywhere, it was obviously a matter of making a name for himself, but now he has made his publishing house a laughing stock of the whole network, he originally wanted to compete for the position of general manager, but now that he has poked out such a big basket, the promotion will definitely be no fun.

Deng Huahan felt a pang in his heart, such a good job is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, he quickly replied and said: "Mr. Zhao, I will call our alumni immediately to ask, they are specialized in network security, but the fee is estimated to be relatively high." ”

"Anyway, it will be deducted from your salary, and if one year is not enough, it will be deducted for two years. Zhao Han looked at Deng Huahan, who was stunned, this elm head couldn't even understand the words of joking, this was also drunk!

He repeatedly told himself in his heart not to be angry, not to be angry, now that things have become like this, it is better to take advantage of it and turn the danger into a disaster.

Since Lin Han's readers are so enthusiastic, why don't you meet their needs?

If they want books, they will publish them themselves, and they are the ones who pay for them anyway, and their own publishing house will make a lot of money!

After Zhao Han figured this out, he immediately said to his secretary: "Xiao Zhang, you quickly let people estimate how many copies we will print at a time if "The Matrix" is going to be published in paperback. In addition, we also contacted the printing houses that we have been working with for a long time to see if they could let us jump in line and print the book as soon as possible. ”

The business of the printing house is generally arranged in chronological order, and if it is not particularly ironclad, no one will risk offending the rest of the customers to get the big publishing house to print in advance.

Xiao Zhang nodded again and again, and he replied, "Understood, Mr. Zhao, we have decided to publish it, right?"

"It's going to have to be discussed, you go and get these preparations right. ”

The current general manager is very old, and he is basically in the publishing house, and he is only waiting to retire in August, so many things are actually handled by Zhao Han, and all he lacks is a name.

Before coming to the general manager's office, Zhao Han knocked lightly on the door, and a loud voice sounded inside, "Please come in!"

Zhao Han pushed open the wooden door, and saw that in the office full of Chinese style, an old man with gray hair was holding a cup of tea and looking at the books in front of him, looking full of old-fashioned Republic of China feeling, this is Yi Xiuwen, the general manager of the Renmin University Publishing House.

Yi Xiuwen took off the reading glasses on the bridge of his nose, and he said with a smile: "It's Xiao Zhao, I heard that you are very angry today, and it is better for young people to extinguish the fire." ”

Zhao Han, who was already in his forties, was just a young man in Yi Xiuwen's mouth, and he grinned bitterly: "General manager, it's not that I don't want to say it well, but it's really okay." In the past, there were many publishers who envied us, but now they are all laughing at us, and they have become a laughing stock!"

"Haven't you figured it out? They are jealous, jealous that we can sign Lin Han. Yi Xiuwen got up from his chair, and he continued: "How many writers in the world can make readers take the initiative to ask to buy books? Anyway, I have lived for decades, and I have never seen this kind of thing where readers force publishing houses." ”

The world is so big that there are no surprises, and it has always been the publishing house that tries its best to loot the money in the pockets of readers, and I have never heard of a publishing house that puts money and does not make money!

Zhao Han understood in a trance, "It just so happens that we can launch "The Matrix" through this attention, maybe the sales are not bad." ”

Yi Xiuwen never thought that he would meet Lin Han in the last few years of his career, and Lin Han alone brought more income to the People's University Publishing House than the rest of the authors combined!

……

Maybe the hackers didn't want to make too much trouble, or maybe the helpers they invited were a bit powerful, but in short, the farce finally ended at about seven o'clock in the evening, and the official website of the National People's Congress Publishing House returned to normal.

It's just that before the recovery, the number of people who liked the petition had exceeded 280,000, and it is estimated that many of them were curious to like, but there must be many people who really want to buy "The Matrix"!

Here, Lin Han also noticed the voice of the masses, and he must be extremely supportive of the decision of the National People's Congress Publishing House to work overtime to print, this matter could have been avoided, and all the problems were on him.

Typical good intentions do bad things, and want to increase the appeal with free novels, but I never thought that even if some people have free electronic versions to read, they can't completely replace physical books!

So this also makes many writers see hope, there has always been a tone that physical books are going to be finished, and now writers of Lin Han's level can't let readers completely give up physical books, there is still hope in this market!

In order to prevent the big publishing house from carrying the black pot, Lin Han decided to tell the truth of the matter, after all, he discussed with Zhao Han to directly take the limited boutique route.

"Thanks to everyone's love, today's 20,000 novels were sold out in an hour. However, when I was planning the publishing route, I thought that everyone could read the free electronic version on their mobile phones or computers, and there was no longer a need for physical books. Unexpectedly, such a mistake was made, and in the next time, the publishing house will complete the proofreading, publication and sales of the manuscript as soon as possible, please rest assured!"

If you make a mistake, you have to admit it, and Lin Han will admit it even if he is scolded.

But his fans cheered and celebrated, it turned out that the petition of 10,000 people was really useful, and Lin Han and the publishing house saw their call.

"I'm not happy if I didn't buy a limited edition, but it's good to have a physical book. I don't always find it very convenient to read books on the Internet, but it's still comfortable to use the paper version!"

"Can you tell me a definite time? I'm ready to set an alarm clock and place an order. ”

"Well, it's okay to be able to get out, and you're not doing anything wrong. Who made The Matrix so good!"

"Teacher Lin, don't worry, we will definitely buy the book and watch it again, sit back and wait for your movie to be released, and look forward to the best Neo!"

"So how are you going to compensate us? Write a new book to comfort our wounded hearts. ”

"Physical books will never disappear, and I also use my phone to read novels, but sometimes I also buy my favorite books!"

After Lin Han saw the replies of these readers, his whole mood became relaxed and happy, the full text of "The Matrix" has a total of more than 600,000 words, which is almost as many words as "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

Ordinary novels are generally 200,000 words a book, just like Lin Han's previous novels, but now he and the publishing house are unwilling to pit readers, so they simply put these 600,000 words in a book, a thick one!

According to the sample book made by the publishing house, "The Matrix" is a 32-page book with a total of nearly 600 pages, which uses the latest assembly line binding, and you will not drop pages if you flip through it.

They price the novel very cheaply, only 45 yuan for such a thick book, and it will be even cheaper if the bookstore or online bookstore organizes an event to discount!

Nowadays, many bookstores have so-called membership cards, and no matter what books are directly discounted, the discount is very large.

"The Matrix" has already been completed, so there is no need for Lin Han to worry about anything, the reason why the publishing house has to wait for a while is to apply for a book number, and it must be approved by the State Administration of Press and Publication before it can be printed, otherwise it will not be listed at all!

Fortunately, Lin Han's name is big enough, and the National People's Congress Publishing House has also used all the connections to operate, so the approval speed should be very fast.

In this way, within half a month at the earliest, the paperback physical version of "The Matrix" will be able to meet the majority of consumers!

However, Lin Han doesn't want to watch the news or anything else now, and the actor's training will be over in a few days, and he has to get into the busy shooting, but these days can't be wasted.

Things on the crew's side have been almost prepared, Lin Han only needs to go over every day to check the progress, and ask the special effects company about the models over there, there is a lot of free time!

After thinking about it seriously, he simply spent the next few days writing the new words in his mind, anyway, if the big plot remains the same, try what his code word limit is.

So Lin Han created a new folder and named it "Interstellar"!
