The print edition of Age of Fantasy has been out of stock for several days, and many retail stores and bookstores have a large number of people asking every day, but the response is always no or waiting for another two days. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

A small number of readers who couldn't help it had to buy the electronic version of the magazine online, and the price of the electronic version of a single issue of "Fantasy Times" was 1.5 yuan, and if you order 12 issues a year, you will get a 9% discount.

The sales of the electronic version of "Fantasy Age", which had never appeared on the sales charts, skyrocketed, and soared into the sky like a rocket!

In the first week of March, the weekly sales list and the monthly sales list overlapped, and the rest of the magazines were available offline, only "Fantasy Times" was out of stock, so it unexpectedly occupied the first place in the sales list, and threw off the next one with a sales volume of nearly 100,000.

Unlike the hot electronic sales, paper sales have completely stagnated, because the reprinted magazines have not yet been sent, and the scale of the printing plants that cooperate with the magazine is not too large, and the shipments are limited, which seriously restricts the growth of sales.

Fortunately, Tan Lin saw that the situation was not good, and urgently contacted another manufacturer to help share the pressure, and it took several days before the supply was resumed, and it began to reappear on the streets and alleys across the country.

Lin Han walked on the street, he is now going to discuss with others about the World Science Fiction Convention, he won the Hugo Award at the conference last year, and he will also take the right to host this year's conference back to Yanjing City.

At this time, it is already March, which is very close to June, and there is very little time left for the organizers, Lin Han is now equivalent to a consultant and a special guest image spokesperson.

Guoke.com and the Yanjing Municipal Party Committee organized and co-organized, he just completely forgot about it, but he has enough confidence in the level of domestic hosting, and the Chinese people have never been disappointed when holding such large-scale celebrations or conferences.

Just passing by the newsstand on the side of the road, Lin Han originally only planned to buy a piece of chewing gum, but he didn't expect to meet someone who came to buy a book here.

A businessman wearing a trench coat and carrying a briefcase stopped in a hurry, and said in fluent Mandarin: "Boss, has your "Fantasy Age" arrived? This is the third time I've come to inquire. ”

The boss unhurriedly took out a book from the stack of books, and said with a smile: "It's here, this is just delivered this morning, and the twenty copies delivered yesterday have long been sold out." ”

At this time, Lin Han was also interested, "Boss, bring me a copy of this too, how about the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy on it?"

"It's beautiful, I think it's kind of like stand-up comedy, it's funny. Of the 30 copies delivered today, only the last few copies remained, and the dealer couldn't deliver them no matter how much they urged them. The boss couldn't help but praise and said, "To be honest, I haven't read it before, but I heard that this novel is really very, very good, so I just read it." As a result, I now have to keep a copy for myself and a copy for my son and nephew. ”

"Really? Then I'll have to take a good look. ”

After Lin Han paid the money happily, he took the book and walked away, the book is not popular, there are many people who have heard of Lin Han's author's name, but there are not many people who can recognize him when he walks on the road.

Even though the other two people at the newsstand were reading Lin Han's novels, no one noticed that this young man who came to buy chewing gum and magazines was the author himself!

The reader's first-line evaluation is the most important, and the "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" in my previous life was translated from English, and it has not been popular for various reasons, maybe it is a cultural difference.

After Lin Han's drastic adaptation, the novel is full of local Chinese characteristics, so it is very quickly accepted, and it can naturally spread very quickly after reading without barriers!

According to the navigation, he came to the preparatory office of the conference, and at this time, Yao Lingfeng, the general manager of Guoke.com, was talking to the people next to him, and after he saw Lin Han coming over with a meteor in stride, he walked over familiarly, "Finally meet again, Mr. Lin." ”

"Mr. Yao seems very happy, the preparations must be going very well. ”

After Lin Han shook hands with him, he looked around, there were not many staff members here, all of them were busy confirming something on the computer, and then there were people who kept making calls.

Yao Lingfeng nodded, "It's basically decided at the moment, but I'm not sure how many people will be able to come." No one can say for sure. ”

The organization of the World Science Fiction Convention is very loose, in addition to many members who want to come to Yanjing, some science fiction fans will also follow, how to estimate the number of these is a big problem.

"This is the first time that this kind of worldwide science fiction convention has been held in China, and domestic science fiction fans will definitely not miss this grand event. If you promote it well, it might work wonders. ”

Lin Han himself regretted that he couldn't go to the scene of the science fiction convention in his last life, and he could have a good time in his own country this June.

"Of course, we will definitely not let this opportunity go. By the way, your new book is very good, I didn't expect this kind of science fiction novel full of Chinese humor to sell well abroad, and it is said that the sales are very good, right?"

The English version of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, published in the journal Nature, is also available worldwide in London, Paris, Seoul, Tokyo, and New York.

Such a work from a Chinese science fiction master has been warmed up, and originally the journal Nature could have millions of readers per issue around the world, and more than 10 million readers.

A quarter of each issue of the journal is distributed to libraries and research institutions, and the remainder is distributed to individuals, most of whom are active researchers.

Each issue of Nature issues a press release to more than a thousand international press contacts before it goes on sale, ensuring that the magazine's authors receive the attention of the world's most important newspapers, magazines, radio and television news outlets!

"I was worried about that, but the readers were very receptive. Whether it is Chinese humor, British humor, or American humor, there is actually only one kind of humor on the whole earth, and all funny humor is similar, and only those humors that are not funny have time to care about the difference in the degree of coldness of each other. It's all funny humor in this book, so it's not hard to understand. ”

Lin Han said with emotion, he felt that the humor in "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" should be universal, and he was more inclined to use exaggerated and absurd techniques to interpret the humor full of irony.

And his translation is very easy to understand, there will be no unfamiliar words, and there are not too many cultural differences. )
