Chapter 172: Hugo Award: A Good Start (Six Watches!)
Just when everyone was looking forward to Lin Han's triumphant return, a thunderbolt woke up all netizens!
Lin Han cooperated with Paramount to develop all the relevant copyrights of "Jurassic Park", not only the film investment was huge, but even Paramount Amusement Park began to be built, this model shocked countless people. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
When most writers were still writing novels, publishing them in magazines, or directly publishing them, selling simplified and traditional Chinese copyrights and film and television adaptation rights, Lin Han actually took the lead and directly started cooperating with Hollywood, directly creating a new model.
Whose novel can become a paradise in reality? Whose novel can make Hollywood companies crazy? A news that has not yet been published can cause such a large investment, netizens are not only proud of Lin Han, but also very worried about him.
If the more than $1 billion invested cannot be recovered, will Lin Han be blocked by the United States?
Now that Lin Han has not returned to China, he has already made domestic science fiction lovers and netizens cheer, this specification is definitely unique in Hollywood, compared to what awards are too much.
And the thing that people are most concerned about is: the news mentioned that the English version of "Jurassic Park" is on the market, but when will the Chinese version come out!
It's hard to wait for the publication of the magazine "Fantasy Times", when will it be?
Adapted into a Hollywood sci-fi blockbuster of the same name, such a novel does not need to think to know that sales start with millions, and no publishing house knows which Chinese version of "Jurassic Park" got the agency.
Chen Jiaxuan has turned off his mobile phone, so Zhao Han of the National People's Congress Publishing House has become the only candidate, who let Lin Han's previous books be led by him.
Of course, this approach makes many netizens quite incomprehensible, why the English version has to be released, and our Chinese version is not released, isn't this discriminatory against its own people?
Lin Han had long expected such news, and he said in a speech on Weibo: "First of all, thank you for your attention and love for me and "Jurassic Park". Our Chinese version of the novel will not be published in paper for the time being, but the Chinese version of the complete works will be launched in the e-book city at any time within this month, and the current price is 8 yuan.
Maybe when you wake up, you'll find that Jurassic Park is ready to download and read.
The reason for not producing a print edition was to boost the sales of Fantasy Times magazine, which everyone knew meant to me, and would rather make less money than start it.
If I want to wait for the paper version of the complete Chinese works, I will choose a publishing house to cooperate with after the magazine is published, and the time will probably be completed in October this year, and it may also be accelerated.
Spoiler alert, it has a lot of plot in the novel, I hope you can like this domineering dinosaur. ”
Always imitated, never surpassed!
Lin Han has now come up with a new sales method, only providing the genuine download channel of "Jurassic Park" online, and he can get 70% of the sales share from Amazon, which is much higher than the 15% share of the physical book.
As he said on Weibo, it may be launched at any time this month, and this novel no longer needs to be promoted, there are too many reports about it!
……
Time flies, at the Hugo Award ceremony, Li Wenyuan and Lin Han sat in the middle in suits, and the two of them took advantage of this time to mumble and talk.
"You kid has been too popular lately, and the topic of the entire World Science Fiction Convention has been suppressed by you. That's Paramount, that's more than a billion dollars of investment, and they dare to press on you. ”
Lin Han stretched out his hand and said with a smug smile: "What is this, I can bear this burden." Now I can't wait to go back to China, and if I win the award, I'll go back tonight and launch "Jurassic Park". ”
Li Wenyuan moved his jaw, he pointed to those people not far away and said: "Today you are a thorn in their side, Hollywood is the inherent territory of these American science fiction writers, you run over to grab food, and it is easy to be rejected by the collective." ”
In the past few days, Lin Han didn't notice this, as soon as he appeared at the venue, countless people would come around to discuss and learn how to deal with film companies.
Whether it is sincere or fake congratulations, he accepts it all, and the science fiction convention has finally come to the end, and it is still a mystery who will win the Hugo Award.
The staff of PricewaterhouseCoopers brought the counted votes to the scene, and the award ceremony was opened by an unknown American talk show host!
"In the past year, many science fiction masterpieces have emerged in the world, and authors from all parts of the world have used their fantasies to depict excellent works, with more and more diverse themes and more and more science fiction audiences.
We have added 17,000 members, but we have lost 18 brothers and sisters forever, and our team is growing, and this year's Hugo Awards have received unprecedented attention, with many TV stations broadcasting and more than 80 media outlets across the country, so let's start today's Hugo Awards ceremony!"
The editor of Phoenix Culture is diligently conducting text live broadcasts on Weibo, and the number of people in this small live broadcast room has quietly expanded from dozens to more than 5,000 people, and it is still increasing.
A photo sent back from the scene could not meet the needs of netizens at all, and they kept urging the editor to update it quickly.
The first award presented tonight has nothing to do with Lin Han and others, the Best Film and Television Short Film Award and the Best Film and Television Feature Award are in the hands of several major Hollywood film companies, and these science fiction writers have not won this award for the time being.
But when the host Allen continued to start announcing the next award, Lin Han couldn't help but sit up straight.
"Before presenting the next award, I would like to ask the writers here, have you ever written a continuation of the last earthling? I have seen a lot of people on the Internet analyzing this short one-sentence novel, and many of them are extremely interesting. But can it win the award? Let's take a look at the list of nominees. ”
When the editor of Phoenix.com typed this string of words into words, netizens suddenly boiled, and they almost forgot that Lin Han was also nominated for the best short story!
Although "The Last Earthling" ranked last in terms of approval rating when it was nominated, the gap with the previous four books was not big at all, and the gap did not widen.
Whether or not they can win the award depends on the joint vote of more than 4,000 members.
"Editor, don't get stuck!"
"Call the editor, as soon as it is critical, the chain will be dropped, and I will die in a hurry. ”
"Who is the winner?"
""The Last Earthling" is so classic, this is the essence of the short story!"
Netizens are very anxious, although the award ceremony is held on the other side of the world, but they have already begun to worry about getting up early, and they must win the award!
At the scene, the names of these novels slowly flowed across the screen, Lin Han took two deep breaths, he tried his best to calm himself down, but everything was useless.
What science fiction writer can be so calm in front of the Hugo Awards?
"Best Short Story Winner: "The Last Earthling", congratulations to Lin Han!"
Almost at the same moment, the text live broadcast room on the other side of the ocean exploded instantly, and netizens began to congratulate Lin Hanlai, at least this time he won a good start, and he didn't go in vain! )
