When the pre-sale results of "Philosophy in the Matrix" were revealed, the publishing world almost caused an uproar!

What is the concept of pre-sale 310,000?

If the quality of the book is above the passing mark, it will not be difficult to sell more than one million in total!

According to the ratio of pre-sales to total sales over the years, the number of pre-sales generally accounts for 20%-40% of the total sales, and the more extreme ones account for more than 50%. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Those are all fan-type works, fans have booked the novel early, and there are fewer real passers-by to buy them.

The pre-sale volume of Lin Han's "The Matrix" is more than one million, but now the total sales of Chinese Simplified Chinese have come to more than eight million, and the pre-sale proportion is actually not much!

Although there are very few pirated copies in this world, and the people are highly motivated to read books, books that have sold more than one million are still good.

This is a threshold and a dividing line, and only writers who have entered the million mark are qualified to put a best-selling label on themselves!

No number of types of high-quality books can break through this boundary, and many talented writers have been blocked by this threshold, but now an anthology can have such a rebellious performance!

The book "Philosophy in The Matrix" is clearly written for the readers of The Matrix, and the target group is very clear, it is not for all readers, but for a specific group of people.

After the target market is segmented, such targeting can achieve very useful results, and the sales of 310,000 are many times better than the pre-sale results of Lin Han's debut and debut novel!

The increase in sales of "I, Robot" was actually after the release of the novel, and it used its own reputation to achieve a counterattack, and because of its popularity in North America, it in turn stimulated domestic sales.

Not to mention Shi Peng and Zeng Xinhui, who couldn't believe this achievement, even Zhang Guangbao, the head of the Department of Philosophy of Yenching University, and all the editors of the Affiliated Press of Yenching University were stunned......

I thought that the printing of 700,000 copies would be very risky and would be very difficult to sell, but who knew that the result would be so easy, and the pre-sales alone would break through the sky!

Now the people of the publishing house and the courier they cooperate with have started to pack these books almost overnight, and they have stocked them in several major warehouses across the country, so they start shipping from several major regions.

In fact, the courier company also made a lot of money with Lin Han, after all, the pre-sales of each of his books are so amazing, and these books need to be delivered by courier to the hands of readers!

Of course, the negotiated price between the publishing house and the courier company is very, very cheap, and even if the price is cheaper, more than one million couriers have brought them a lot of profits.

Whenever Lin Han releases a new book, this express delivery is as if it is celebrating Double 11, which greatly tests their logistics speed and efficiency!

……

At this time, Lin Han had just finished filming in the movie studio, and they had to shoot on location in the hottest time of summer, but fortunately, most of the plot of "The Matrix" was in the city, and there was no need to go to the wilderness to adventure, otherwise life would be even more difficult.

Of course, there are parasols and other tools where the director is located, after all, the monitor is a bit dazzling in direct sunlight.

This is the biggest test for the crew, fortunately, the locations have basically been surveyed, mainly filmed in some streets and buildings, and even Lin Han used his influence to rent the right to use a section of abandoned highways, in order to shoot the high-tide scenes in the second part of the movie!

After finishing filming in the studio, Lin Han rarely gave everyone a day off, after all, they worked overtime and didn't even have a weekend off.

Not to mention the actors and staff, even Lin Han himself felt physically and mentally exhausted, and he couldn't bear it, he needed to relax!

With the arrival of summer, the villa's private swimming pool finally came in handy, and after hiring a special company to disinfect the pool, they filled the pool with water.

Lin Han was warming up by the pool in a pair of swimming trunks, his figure was well managed, his muscle lines were obvious and not exaggerated, and he looked eye-catching!

Chai Chai on the side stuck out his tongue and looked up at his master's movements, and it was quite puzzled.

After the warm-up was done, Lin Han squatted down and scooped up the water in the pool with his hands and splashed it on himself, which was to adapt to the temperature of the water in advance and let the body cool down, so that he would not cramp because he suddenly entered the cold water!

Preparing for the event, Lin Han ran for a distance on the shore and then jumped into the air, holding his legs with bent hands, and smashed into the pool like a cannonball, splashing huge waves.

Chai Chai was anxious at this time, he thought that Lin Han had fallen into the water, and he kept screaming on the shore!

Lin Han also had the heart to tease it, so he stayed underwater and held his breath, wanting to see what Chai Chai was doing.

After yelling for a while, no one paid attention to it, Chai Chai was in a hurry, and he cautiously entered the pool, instinctively diving to the bottom of the water with a dog planer style to pull Lin Han up!

This move made Lin Han very pleased, and he finally didn't raise him in vain!

So a man and a dog frolicked happily in the pool, and when Chen Jiaxuan walked out, he saw such a scene.

She wore a bikini, and her beautiful figure was revealed at this time, fortunately it was her own private pool, otherwise Lin Han would still be worried about being seen by others!

"Do you want to come down and play in the water?"

Lin Han deliberately splashed water on the shore with his hand, and then he swam to the shore and looked at Chen Jiaxuan from the bottom up.

"Wait, I'll put some sunscreen on it. Now swimming will get a tan!"

Women are very concerned about their skin and appearance, and Chen Jiaxuan is no exception, when she squeezes out the sunscreen and applies it to herself, she doesn't realize how seductive her movements are!

When she bent down to smear her slender calves, the snow-white and surging breasts appeared in front of Lin Han, making him swallow his saliva.

At this time, he couldn't care about swimming, Lin Han pressed the shore with both arms, and he stood up from the pool, he took Chen Jiaxuan's sunscreen, and said, "I'll wipe it for you." ”

Chen Jiaxuan did not refuse, she lay on the beach chair, revealing her sexy and beautiful back, Lin Han applied the sunscreen in the palm of her hand evenly with both hands and gently climbed onto her delicate skin.

The originally very romantic moment was ruined by Chai Chai, it dragged its wet hair directly to Chen Jiaxuan's side, stuck out its tongue and smirked, so that Lin Han didn't know what to say about it!

This guy looks silly, but he's very good at himself, and he just pretended to be overboard to test it.

"Chai Chai, you are really born to swim!" Chen Jiaxuan rubbed its round face with her hand, and said with a joke.

Chai Chai was born in winter, and he never had the opportunity to swim in the water before, at most he was exposed to water when he bathed.

But usually when walking the dog, as long as there is a small puddle, it wants to flow over!

Earlier today, when the water temperature in the pool reached a suitable level, Chai Chai just tentatively touched the water surface with his paws, and then quickly retracted.

It wanted to play in the water, but it didn't dare to go down, so Lin Han came to such a trick and pretended to fall into the water!

Chai Chai, who was originally a little afraid of water, finally jumped down bravely, wanting to save his master.

Lin Han hugged Chai Chai, and he said with a smile: "Chai Chai performed very well just now, add a ham sausage to it as a reward at night." ”

Hearing that there was something to eat, Chai Chai's eyes immediately became flexible, and even secreted more saliva!

"If you feed it more, it will become a ball of meat. Chen Jiaxuan poked Chai Chai's bulging belly with her fingers, this little guy is so likable, and the horizontal development trend is obvious.

Lin Han weighed the weight of Chai Chai, "It's time to lose weight, let's swim every day to lose weight." ”

After that, he jumped into the pool with Chai Chai in his arms, causing Chai Chai to scream in panic!

……

Here, Lin Han's family has a warm vacation and leisure, but on the other side of the world, in the United States, there is a group of people who are entangled.

"Chris, are you sure there are no problems with the votes?" asked a white man in reading glasses repeatedly.

Opposite him was a handsome white guy in the prime of life, Chris helplessly spread his hands and said, "I also thought there was a problem with the vote count, so I double-checked it five times! Billy, how do you say we should announce it to the members and the media?"

Billy puts down his reading glasses, he is the executive chairman of the organizing committee of this year's Hugo Awards, and the annual Hugo Awards have begun the nomination process, with members from all over the world nominating for their best work.

This was originally a happy event, a great joy in the world's science fiction literature, but the expressions of their group of people were not so wonderful!

Another black man had a faint mockery on the corner of his mouth, "What else can I do, unless you are willing to lie to the media and reporters, otherwise you will publish the truth." ”

"Kirk, we're here to discuss things, not to let you sit on the sidelines and joke. The criss-crossed furrows on Billy's face looked extraordinarily serious, and it was something to be treated with caution.

Chris didn't expect things to turn out like this, 14,000 members participated in the nomination process in the list of nominations received this year, and the nominations for the rest of the awards were slightly normal, but there was a major disaster in the most important novel award!

It was originally the five books with the highest turnout to be the candidates for Best Novel, but this year's top five without exception are all books by Lin Han!

In first place is "Hyperion", the second is "Inception", the third is "Bring Her Eyes", the fourth is "Immortal", and the fifth is "The Matrix"!

"The Matrix", which has just been released in Europe and the United States for more than a month, actually squeezed into the top five of the poll, suppressing Lin Han's other novel "The Time Traveler's Wife" behind, and even "Resident Evil" ranked in the top ten in the voter!

The nomination of an award was actually taken by the same author, what kind of thing is this!

No wonder Billy, Chris and others are so entangled, how can this be awarded?
