Lin Han wants to take over the power this time, and he doesn't want to experience the aggrieved experience of "Rushing Out of the Solar System" again, and he wants to do his best in all aspects, so the release of the English version of "The Three-Body Problem" is very important to him.
Promote the novel on a global scale, expand its popularity as much as possible, so that it can be expanded from the country when the film is released, this is the time to lay the foundation, and then harvest it later.
A novel can be lent to three people, and five people will know the name of the book, and these people are potential consumers, and they will know the name of the novel, and when the movie is released in the future, this memory will surface.
When you go to the cinema and choose which movie to watch, of course, the familiar name of the movie is easier to choose, and it is much easier to find a foreign distributor to cooperate with a huge group of book fans.
Now seeing that overseas readers have such a high acceptance of "The Three-Body Problem", Lin Han's original high heart has been relaxed, and the original "The Martian" has also been changed to a Chinese background by him, which has also been successful.
This proves that the background in the novel is not an inevitable condition for success, how to tell a story well is the key, after this attempt is successful, Lin Han plans to adopt a similar mode of operation in the future.
Learning is endless, after handing over the two books, Lin Han has become a completely wasted person, every day is to watch movies to study, hand over the analyzed things to his tutor when he was in school, and open a small stove alone.
In his spare time, he went out to exercise and archery, and during this time, the courier brother had a lot of time to send him online books, and he knew that the person who lived here was the science fiction master Lin Han!
The bookshelves in the study room are enriched day by day, and the books in all aspects allow Lin Han to better understand the world and the works of other writers, and he is like a sponge that continuously absorbs water.
……
With the passage of time, the overseas sales results of "The Three-Body Problem" were counted for the first time, and the global sales in the first week totaled 890,000 copies, including 520,000 copies in North America, which seems a bit miserable at first glance.
But in fact, because of the early release of "The Three-Body Problem", the book was not released on Monday, but on Friday, which means that its first week sales were actually only the first three days of sales.
Many people who are waiting for Lin Han to hit the street can only sigh gloomily and wait for his next novel.
Every book is successful, so that many people who envy and envy Lin Han can't help but admire, it is not unusual for a book to become popular, it is rare that it can be maintained forever, and even continue to improve.
Therefore, more and more people are studying the writing, framework, and story structure of Lin Han's science fiction novels, and all kinds of analysis and interviews on the Internet are coming, and they also want to learn about it.
However, these are not routine essays, they belong to the crystallization of the wisdom of different writers, and it is not easy for them to study a result.
Lin Han sat in front of the computer and turned off these analytical posts, he boarded Amazon to check the sales of his novel, but just after entering the Chinese version, he saw the cover of the English version of the "Three-Body Problem" novel on the homepage.
He clicked on this and found that the sales of the English version of "The Three-Body Problem" in China are also very good, and most readers are buying for this cover, compared with the style of this sci-fi blockbuster, the Chinese version of "The Three-Body Problem" is like a product of a small rural workshop.
In addition, many foreign workers in China have a hard time understanding Chinese, so as soon as the English version came out, they couldn't wait to buy it.
The world is a village, and there are many foreigners who come to China to work, and these people have a higher level of education, and they are quick to accept science fiction, and they will even recommend "The Three-Body Problem" to their friends in their own country, which plays the role of tap water.
Most of the domestic readers who bought the English version of "The Three-Body Problem" have already finished reading the novel, and their evaluations of "The Three-Body Problem" are almost the same, so Lin Han switched Amazon to the international version, he wanted to see the evaluation of readers on the Internet, and the evaluation of these book buyers is probably the most intuitive.
A five-star review from Thomas Delan, a reader from the United States, wrote: "I skipped work for 36 hours, just to be able to read the book in one sitting, and I really didn't want to let go!" Through this story of different cultures, which is clearly different from my Western background, the driving force for the survival of the human race is shown from a fascinating perspective. I didn't expect this game to have any similarities with British and American sci-fi, it didn't disappoint me, I especially love it! ”
Another reader, Bob, wrote a 2,000-plus-word review titled "The Door Salute for Top Science Fiction Series," which was endorsed by more than 100 other readers, who thought Bob was very well written.
He wrote in the book review: "First of all, this "Three-Body Problem" does not read like a translation, although it is not a translation by Lin Han himself, but Liu Yukun's translation gives people a seamless prose feeling. The large number of footnotes throughout the text helped me understand Chinese culture in the sixties and seventies of the last century. Big. Leather. The background of the times, as well as useful knowledge of mathematics and physics.
The political science setting of the storyline reminds me of Gregory Benford's novel The Sight of Time. It's a very hardcore traditional science fiction novel with a setting that's hard to forget.
Please note that this book is the first part of Lin Han's original trilogy, and my heart has been hooked, and I try to avoid too many spoiler comments so as not to affect the pleasure of reading this book.
Although I had never read the author's work before, I can now understand why he has become one of the best-selling authors in China, and I believe that the series will expand his readership. ”
Louis Vallière, a reader from France, also gave a five-star rating, "This is a science fiction novel deeply rooted in physics, one of the best science fiction novels I have ever read." The background is deeply grounded in physics, which makes it very appealing. The author does a great job of putting real plots into his novels, and if you like physics, this is a must-read! ”
"Wang and Ye's mission is very well portrayed, Wang grows up in the face of an imminent disaster, and Ye is a hidden woman. My favorite character is DA History, and unlike scientists, he is a pragmatic and non-theoretical observer, and his insight is one of the highlights of this book. I highly recommend this book, this is the first part of a trilogy, the other two are yet to be published. If you love good science fiction, you'll love this book. Giuseppe Garibaldi did not skimp on his praise, Italians are not only romantic, they are equally fond of science.
Spaniard García Lopez described the book as 100 percent spectacular and mesmerizing, "As a long-time fan of science fiction, whether it's a slag or a profound masterpiece, I'm curious about the difference between this Chinese bestseller and an American bestseller." The result is no different! Although it is a Chinese novel through and through, it is Chinese in terms of rich historical commentary and linguistic habits. Special thanks to the translators for their hard work in maintaining the Chinese literary peak of this book, but still making it understandable enough for Americans. ”
The lowest rating given by these readers is four stars, and most of them are five-stars, and there are many readers all over the world, proving that "The Three-Body Problem" has indeed conquered readers around the world.
Even in the field of professionals, the performance of "The Three-Body Problem" is amazing enough.
Mike Rysnick, an eight-time Hugo Award-winning science fiction writer, wrote on his Facebook page: "The Three-Body Problem deserves any accolades, it's an extraordinary novel, and so does Liu Yukun's natural and fluid translation." In the past, several books were translated by Lin Han himself, but this time he was busy writing the last two parts of the "Three-Body Problem" trilogy, although he did not translate it himself, but it was still very good! ”
David Lee, a Chinese-Canadian science fiction writer and winner of the Canadian National Science Fiction Award, has a Chinese background and can naturally experience the content of the novel more than others, "The Three-Body Problem is a first for North American readers: it is such a science fiction - an in-depth exploration of China. Common. Give birth. The most sassy in the history of the party. People's hearts in times of turmoil. Lin Han shows us a rare glimpse of the Iron Curtain of the sixties and the mystical conspiracies associated with it that affect the world today. As a result, each answer in this story creates more suspense. ”

Lin Han stands at the pinnacle of speculative fiction in any language. ”
There are too many praises, and it is rare to see such an impactful new book in the field of world science fiction literature.
Many readers who have eaten machine translation are also shocked at this time, even if they know the general plot trend, but the text translated into English is also extremely moving, the world needs such science fiction!

Three more 9,000 words sent, many book friends reported that the pace of this book is too slow, in fact, the author wants to fully tap the influence of each work, if you keep writing new works, then it's no problem at all, but in this way, there is a lack of fermentation influence, and many novels will be buried.
And it's probably not in line with reality to release a new book every month.,Although this is a fantasy novel.,But the author still wants to have a little bit of realism.,Don't write a book and sell one this month.,It's another book next month.,The publishing process is close to a month.,Not to mention selling.。
I hope you understand, but I'll also streamline the rest of the content and try to adjust the pace well! (To be continued.) )
