Chapter 444: National Writer!
As soon as he thought of writing a new book, Lin Han's fingers became a little restless, and it was a very good idea to dance ballet on the keyboard with his fingers, and he blew a little song all the way home. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
In the afternoon, the room was very hot, and I was already sweating after only a few steps. When the cool breeze of the air conditioner slowly blew out, he had already drunk half a bottle of cold mineral water!
"Cool!"
It's not a cool Sprite, but it's enough to keep the heat at bay.
The decoration design of the villa is to install a small central air conditioner, and when the time comes, you don't need to turn on the air conditioner slowly, you can cool it down, and you can use your mobile phone to control it, and you can set the temperature before you get home.
The trophy display cabinet in the study is already dense, in addition to the Hugo Award, Nebula Award, Galaxy Award and other large and small awards, there are also trophies from foreign award ceremonies!
It is not a joke that his novels sell well all over the world, and literary awards from Japan, France, the United Kingdom, the United States, Spain, Australia and other countries have been awarded to Lin Han, but he has hardly attended the awards in person, and he has asked Alex and his Penguin Publishing Group to arrange someone to attend.
If you spend all your time on this, it is obvious that there will not be so many novels, and it will take at least a week to go and come, and it is estimated that he will become a trapeze artist all year round.
Lin Han's computer has been updated once, and now it is almost a shotgun change, the running speed is very fast, the mechanical keyboard is good for typing and playing games, and the boot time only takes more than ten seconds!
The habit of code words can not be developed or adapted overnight, Lin Han's practice is to look at WeChat, QQ, Weibo, and email before coding words, and read all the places that may find yourself before opening the word document.
No, there are already several emails lying in his private mailbox, some of which are sales reports forwarded by Xie Xin, and some are information from Penguin Publishing Group.
It's been more than a week since "Resident Evil" was published, and the novel, which was not favored in advance, exploded with amazing energy over the weekend, selling 270,000 copies on Saturday and 240,000 copies on Sunday, with a total sales of more than 2 million!
Now the indicator of whether Lin Han's new book sells well or not is not at the million level, but whether it can exceed three million or four million copies in a month, and tens of millions may not appear in this era.
Because the gradual popularity of e-books has affected the sales of physical books, although the number of readers has not decreased significantly, the sales on mobile devices are really not negligible, and now they are almost half-opened!
The number of e-book downloads of "Resident Evil" in Douban Reading, Amazon Online Bookstore, Dangdang Books and other places has been rising, which is just in line with the reading taste of young people, and the cumulative sales have reached 1.8 million copies, which is not much compared with physical sales.
The book market has been sluggish for a long time, and there have been no books with annual sales of more than 10 million for more than 10 years, at most, a few books like Lin Han have sold more than 10 million in total!
As time goes by, the 10 million mark will be farther and farther away from the best-selling authors, and now Lin Han is the one who has high hopes, and researchers in the book market agree that Lin Han may be the most likely writer to break this situation.
Because he is young enough, it is now the golden stage of creation, and the accumulation of fans has reached a considerable level, as long as he comes up with good works, it is not impossible to sprint to 10 million in many ways!
In the sales report forwarded by his assistant Xie Xin, Lin Han is very satisfied with the sales of his novels, even if he doesn't count the rest of the copyrights this year, he can compete for the championship on the rich list of writers just by relying on the sales of novels.
After all, now the cumulative sales of "Inception" have successfully become the first in the year, temporarily leading, and the next few books are also performing well, and the sales of old books are remarkable!
Now the critics' expectations for Lin Han are all on "Inception", with sales exceeding 5 million copies in three months, maybe there will really be 10 million in 12 months, and even the National People's Congress Publishing House is still thinking about what method should be used to stimulate a wave of sales, maybe promotion is a very good means.
No matter how much sales there are, it is just a number for Lin Han, if it is converted into royalties, Lin Han feels very sorry for his money, and he has to pay so much at once, he feels distressed when he thinks about it!
Most of the people on the forum of the Hanlin Academy are talking about the plot of "Resident Evil", but Weibo has a lot of criticism about Lin Han.
The reason for the incident was that a marketing account with more than 4 million fans sent a message speciously, "Recently, a newly listed book has become an unspeakable existence, and it is clear that it can't stop the downward trend, but I still don't admit it, not only is the pre-sale fake, but also the book critics have been bought, and I can't find a bad review, it's just heheda." ”
Although there are many people who use Weibo, users are becoming more and more violent, and there are many people who agree with this kind of post that is clearly problematic!
"Isn't this talking about "Resident Evil"? Obviously, the pre-sale was so bad a few days ago, but in the end, it soared to 800,000 copies, so everyone is really stupid!"
"I wasn't sure who the PO owner was talking about, but after I read the professional book reviews of "Resident Evil", I found that they were all applauded. Obviously, even Lin Han's fans think that this is not his pinnacle work, why are book critics so unanimous, if they are bought or persecuted, this situation can occur. ”
"What do you do with insinuations, say it directly, whether it's "Resident Evil" or "Ruthless Sword", if you have the ability, you can directly prove it, don't talk about what you don't have. ”
"Sure enough, it's the book I guessed. I don't write a good sci-fi, I run to write about zombies, and I try to save my face, this sales injection must be serious!"
"I always thought that Mr. Lin was very upright, but I didn't expect him to be this kind of person, decisively turning black from powder!"
"Knowing people and knowing faces but not hearts, it turns out that he actually did this kind of thing, it's really the wrong person. ”
Many people have been led by the marketing account for a long time, but they are fooled every time, and this time there are many passers-by who are directly led by the nose, thinking that what the marketing account says is true, and they don't believe it at all.
The ambiguous words obviously angered Lin Han's readers, the fans of the Han Academy are not afraid of things, they have never lost a battle with someone, if they encounter a mad dog, let the hacker come forward!
"To tell the truth, does Mr. Lin need to cheat? He is a real sales champion, and his novels rarely even do promotions, which is like your master, I can't wait to buy one and get ten free!"
"Mr. Lin's sales are not a matter of one or two days"
"It's really popular that there are a lot of people, if you have the ability, you can just say the name, why do you want someone to write a certain book, Mr. Lin is not unable to accept criticism, people have said that this book is a commercial novel, and it must not be required by the standard of literary masterpieces. From the standpoint of a commercial novel, "Resident Evil" is originally worth recommending. ”
"People who say these things, you say that you are fans, but have you read Mr. Lin's novels? I suggest you buy a book and read it before you speak!"
"Why does passer-by A have to speak to provoke discussion, rub the popularity of Mr. Lin and say it directly, cover it up and forward it to 500 carefully! Don't be scared by the legal affairs of Mr. Lin's studio to delete it, take a screenshot and save it first!"
"In the past three days, there have been rumors and some people singing about it, can't you let Teacher Lin be quiet?"
……
Lin Han has read a lot of these comments, real gold is not afraid of fire, these gossips only affect a small number of brainless people at most, if it were his fans, they would definitely think about it.
Slander by others is slander, but he is still preparing to announce the new book according to the original plan, so as not to let fans entangle with others, so as not to be dragged down.
