Since the title and genre of the book were announced, it has become mysterious again, and the deepest impression of "Resident Evil" is the moving poster, many people have saved this picture, and the lifelike zombies will always scare a group of people. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

I have waited for the flowers, and now the Renmin University Publishing House has finally uncovered the mystery and officially announced the release time of the novel, which can be regarded as allowing fans to quench their thirst!

"It's going to be ten days, I'm really counting my fingers and waiting, Mr. Lin's ability to hang people's appetites is getting more and more powerful!"

"Who says it's not, I've been looking forward to it since he said he was going to release a new book, and now I have to wait, I really hope that I can open a super membership for me to read in advance."

"Other writers will send new books to book critics and critics in advance, so as to get a good reputation before the book is released. But I found that Mr. Lin never seemed to have done this, and every time the book reviewers got the book at the same time as us! ”

"This is the same treatment, Mr. Lin is great~"

"Because Mr. Lin doesn't need this kind of false and prosperous reputation, it is difficult for you to find a bad review if you see which work is not blown up before it goes on the market. But after the listing, garbage is still garbage, and we have already cheated our money anyway. I am willing to dig out my wallet for Mr. Lin! ”

"Big series, big series, I don't know if I'll be able to read all the content in my lifetime, although I'm a little scared."

"Global Alert, Terror Strikes...... Mr. Lin is writing this science fiction novel as something, why do I have a bad premonition? ”

Netizens finally got this information, so they naturally wanted to discuss it, but the slogan really discouraged some of the more timid people, and not everyone could appreciate this style.

In fact, there are also differences in the opinions of "Resident Evil" within the Hanlin Academy, and it is impossible for any book to satisfy every reader, and the fans are almost fans of the iron-clad forum!

This difference is also reflected in the pre-sale results, Lin Han's previous novel "Inception" had more than one million copies of the pre-sale, but on the first day of the pre-sale of "Resident Evil", this number does not seem to be very good.

Even with the support of many die-hard fans, the pre-sale number on the first day only changed from zero to 85,000 copies, and it failed to break 100,000!

Not to mention "Inception", even the first day of pre-sale of "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" was above 100,000, and "Bouquet for Algernon" was released suddenly, so there was no pre-sale period.

This seems to have become Lin Han's lowest pre-sold novel this year, which seems to confirm the speculation of the media and critics that "Resident Evil" may be the beginning of Lin Han's defeat Waterloo!

In fact, the pre-sale of 85,000 copies is only a relatively small number for Lin Han, and it is still an astronomical number for the rest of the people, and the pre-sale of a book for many people is only this number.

In the following time, the sales forecasting agency has lowered the pre-sale target of 800,000 copies of "Resident Evil" to 500,000 copies, and I am not very optimistic about this novel!

After the pre-sale results on the first day were released, there were really a few joys and a few sorrows, and all kinds of life were revealed here.

After Lin Han's number one competitor Yan Juncheng heard the news, he laughed at home, it was his luck to meet Lin Han who was in a declining period, and the original 50% certainty seemed to have risen to 70%!

Yan Juncheng's publishing house and readers also breathed a sigh of relief because of this, at least Lin Han's good luck will run out at this time, maybe it will be the time for them to announce their return!

Previously, Wen Ruian's "Four Famous Catches" failed to step on Lin Han, but now Yan Juncheng's "Heartless Sword" has the opportunity to avenge martial arts novels, and many martial arts fans can't help but their tails.

In addition, those writers who were afraid of Lin Han sweeping the Quartet regretted it one by one, if they had known that Lin Han's new book was not sold well, why would they bother to revise the schedule!

As for the National People's Congress Publishing House, it is as impatient as ants on a hot pot, and it seems that the sky is falling!

……

Zhao Han sat in his office, all of Lin Han's novels were created by him, and he had already finished reading "Resident Evil", which was obviously an extremely good action-adventure novel, but the pre-sale results were so unsatisfactory, it shouldn't be right at all!

Maybe this is not orthodox science fiction, it can only be said that it has some science fiction elements, Lin Han's fans have not been able to support it, and there are not too many doubts on the Internet, indicating that most readers are actually waiting and seeing, wanting to wait for the novel to go on the market before deciding whether to buy it or not.

He suddenly patted his forehead in annoyance, the excellence of "Resident Evil" is known to everyone who has watched it, but it is impossible for consumers who participate in pre-sales to see it, which leads to information asymmetry!

"Mr. Zhao, the pre-sale on the first day was only 85,000, and today it may drop directly below 50,000, if you let it decline like this, there will definitely be no pre-sale of 500,000 in the end." Zhong Daoyi said worriedly, and the data in his hand did not look optimistic.

Zhao Han opened his mouth and said, "Of course you can't sit still, do you have any good ideas?" ”

Zhong Daoyi raised his head, he glanced at Zhao Han and then said: "I think we can increase publicity, first of all, this is Lin Han's semi-transformation work, focusing on horror and suspense, and establishing the worldview of zombie novels." Then pack the novel and send it to the book critics, so that they can send a book review to tell the good parts of the novel, so that readers walking on the avenue can smell the smell of wine coming from the alley. ”

"No, this precedent cannot be set. Lin Han's books have never relied on those book critics to become popular, on the contrary, many book critics have taken advantage of the popularity of Lin Han's novels to put gold on their faces. Zhao Han subconsciously rejected the proposal, he didn't think it was a good idea.

"It's just that the idea of semi-transformation is not bad, you ask the propaganda side to pay attention to it, don't go too far, otherwise you will lose all the readers accumulated on science fiction."

Zhong Daoyi nodded, it was already very good that his idea could be adopted, "No problem, Mr. Zhao, I'll do it right away." ”

"Go ahead."

Zhao Han looked at Zhong Daoyi's figure that turned to leave, and he took out his mobile phone himself, and after thinking about it, he dialed Lin Han's phone.

At this time, Lin Han was registering his own company with the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, and after hearing Zhao Han's call, he came to the balcony of the corridor and asked in a low voice: "Hey?" Mr. Zhao, do you have anything to do with me? ”

"Lin Han, have you read the news on the Internet?"

"I've been busy in the last two days, I've just finished writing the English version of Resident Evil, and I'm still busy buying other people's game companies, so I don't have time to surf the Internet. If there is anything, just tell me directly, my psychological quality is good! ”

Zhao Han didn't sell it, although he was very curious about what Lin Han was doing to buy the company, but it was inconvenient to ask about this private matter, "The pre-sale of "Resident Evil" is out, and the situation is very bad. Maybe everyone is a little shy away from the horror theme, there were only 85,000 on the first day, and today it is expected to be less than 50,000, and even if it is officially released, there may only be about 300,000 copies in total. ”

Lin Han has never been very sensitive to numbers, but after comparing it with "Inception" in his head, he said with emotion: "This is less than a quarter of "Inception", which is a bit less." However, works like "Resident Evil" performed average in pre-sales, which should be expected. ”

No one thinks that this novel will surpass "Inception", it is normal to be lower, and the readers who read zombie novels may only be a part of the science fiction readers, that is, the novels in the niche!

It was probably Lin Han's calmness that infected Zhao Han, and he gradually calmed down, "You already expected it?" ”

"Ever since I wanted to write about it, I knew that the initial results might not be very good. From aliens exploring the universe to suddenly fighting zombies, many people can't accept it. But they had to accept that I wouldn't write that kind of sci-fi for the rest of my life, and it would be nice to change it once in a while. ”

"Okay, then I'll be relieved." Zhao Han was mainly afraid that Lin Han would lose confidence, but he found that others had already prepared and were a little distracted.

At this time, Lin Han hurriedly said, "Don't, you wait first." I'm going to buy Star Leap Games, and the first project after the acquisition is "Resident Evil". Bo announced this, and then announced the game portraits of the three protagonists, which should stimulate a wave of pre-sales. ”

Zhao Han only understood at this time, the novel of feelings is prepared for the game, no wonder when the sales are not very good, Lin Han is not in a hurry at all, the game is the big one!

"Resident Evil is going to be adapted into a game? That's right.,When I was reading it before,I thought this plot was very interesting.,All kinds of horror adventure games with main plot and side plots.,And puzzle solving or something.,I don't know what kind of game it will become? ”

"It should be a branch of AVG adventure games, and a lot of gunplay in it will be retained, and I will participate in the setting of the game."

"You really can't be idle, and I guess your readers will scream when your announcement is announced. Anyway, why not adapt "The Three-Body Problem", there are so many readers of this novel, and it will definitely sell well after the adaptation. ”

Now it's Lin Han's turn to be distressed, "Now there is still a discussion about what kind of game "Three-Body Problem" should be made, whether it is based on the novel or the "Three-Body Problem" game in the novel is a problem." Could it be that the characters in the game are playing the game? ”

"Thinking about it"

Regarding the "Three-Body Problem" game, Lin Han himself doesn't know how to deal with it, if it is made into a gunfight game or an RPG, it will not be interesting at all.

The novel unfolds the thinking on the existing physical basis, the choice of technology, the philosophical thinking, the understanding of the universe and the identification of culture, which promote the development of the plot step by step in the contradictions. 18,000,000 years between the Revolution and the transformation of the existing cosmic dimension!

The imagination of opening and closing, and the excellent writing and excellent rhythm control ability, show the breadth of understanding of the universe and the depth of thought.

Such an excellent and high value-added original IP, if it is adapted casually, it will be a pity if you don't dig deeper!

He thinks it can be the same as cosmic strategy games like civilization, such as "Galactic Civilization 3", using the technology tree set in the novel to develop slowly, and then adding the law of the dark forest as the game setting, but this is a huge background, playing with the master of civilization, and the details in the novel cannot be experienced!

Let the player take charge of a civilization, fight against the rest of the civilizations in the universe, and use trade, war, diplomacy and other elements to maintain the continuation of civilization, this type of game should be considered a niche of the niche, and it is estimated that only a few readers will like this genre.

Lin Han also thought about developing this into a role-playing game, but the difficulty was very high, and it was not easy to find an entry point!

Of course, netizens have also cared about the "Three-Body Problem" game, and one of the things they gave is to make it a sandbox game, in Lin Han's opinion, only by achieving the level of "Star Wars Eve" can the advantages of "Three-Body Problem" be released, otherwise it will ruin the huge worldview.

Of course, he also knows that whether the original work of "The Three-Body Problem" is adapted into a movie, TV series or game, these derivative works cannot show all the ideological connotations, and can only choose one of them!

It's too early to say this, as he has only just set up his own company, and negotiations with Star Leap Games have only just begun.

Lin Han named his company very interestingly, called Galaxy Holding Group, which currently has Galaxy Games and Galaxy Pictures, and the one used in English is Galaxy!

Next, Chen Jiaxuan's studio will be integrated into it, and his own brokerage contract will be signed in his own company, Chen Jiaxuan accounts for 20% of the total share capital, and the remaining 80% belongs to Lin Han.

The company has been established, but now everything is empty, not to mention the staff, not even the management personnel, Lin Han and Chen Jiaxuan will definitely not be able to take charge of the company by themselves, what he has to do is to grasp a general direction, and he has to find someone else to do specific things!

So now it's a matter of looking for a president in a headhunting company, and then there's a human resources director, a financial director, a marketing director, an operations director, a legal department, and so on, and these are still blank.

But now the investors of Xingyue Games can't wait to get rid of this burden, so Chen Jiaxuan can only make a temporary cameo appearance in the person in charge and start bargaining!

If the vast majority of game companies lose money, they will quietly disappear from the market, and if someone is willing to be a pick-up man, Sequoia Capital is of course willing to let go of the stop loss.

After discussing for a long time, the two sides agreed to buy Xingyue Games at a price of 10 million, and used 2 million yuan to buy out all the subsequent copyright fees of "The Martian" and "The Destroying Dragon", and the transaction cost was 12 million yuan! (To be continued.) )
