Chapter 674: World Science Fiction Film Festival
"Boss, since the recent sales ranking came out, others have given you another nickname, from the God of Wealth to the Lucky Cat. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoIt is said that a lot of newcomers want to give up your photos, and they think you can bless their new book to go viral without having to hit the streets. ”
After Lin Han heard his assistant Xie Xin's words, a black line couldn't help but pop up in his head, what is this, isn't it too exaggerated!
Xie Xin looked at the corners of Lin Han's twitching mouth, and she hurriedly got down to business: "Hunan Science and Technology Publishing House has made up the fee for the right to use your name, and there are many other publishers who want to contact you." ”
Although it is an established fact that Lin Han recommended Hawking's book on "The Reader", if it is printed on the cover of the novel, it will have to pay a certain copyright fee, which is not high, and sometimes it can even be free.
For example, Lin Han also wrote a recommendation on the cover of Li Wenyuan's novel "Out of the Mother Universe", but that was a personal relationship between him and the author of the novel, and he didn't need to pay for it!
"Just give it, and when the time comes, remember to remind me to donate this money to our foundation in the name of the novel. Lin Han is not greedy for this money, but wants to use it on the foundation to help others.
"Wrote it down. Boss, there are a few other things, many writers and publishers want you to recommend their works on Weibo, and some publishers even give 500,000 yuan for advertising and promotion. I probably counted and found that there are other products that want you to post advertising advertorials or something. ”
Lin Han hurriedly waved his hand, he refused and said, "It's all for me to refuse, don't ask me about this type of thing." ”
Xie Xin thought for a while, opened his mouth and asked, "Then some other writers who are not very famous are recommending their own books to you, and they want you to see these works." Did all these people refuse?"
In fact, Lin Han's life is also quite busy, he wants to help others, but he doesn't want to be a good person, he can help one person, but he can't help a group of people.
"You can hand over all their manuscripts to Fantasy Times magazine, and if there is a work of the right quality, let them publish it in the magazine. It can not only help the magazine find excellent manuscripts, but also enable these young writers to display their talents!" Lin Han said, and couldn't help but praise himself in his heart, this solution is really good.
He hadn't paid attention to his magazine for a long time, and recently he was making movies and writing novels, and he didn't have the skills.
Xie Xin couldn't help but nodded, feeling that Lin Han's handling method was really good, "Then I'll go and contact the magazine now!"
"Speaking of the magazine, you can first help me take a look at the sales statistics of each recent issue of the magazine. ”
Only part of the "Fantasy Times" magazine belongs to Lin Han, and the other part belongs to Li Wenyuan.
When the two of them decided to take over the discontinued magazine, they never thought of the day when the magazine would be profitable, but they just hoped that they wouldn't lose too much!
Who knew that it has developed so well now, and has almost become the leader of fantasy books, and the brand is constantly building, and more and more fantasy writers and gods are coming to this magazine to publish books.
Now the threshold of "Fantasy Age" is getting higher and higher, and it is not the kind of work that can be published by any person in the past, and almost every article is the best of the best!
So when Lin Han checked this report, he found that although there was no serialization of his own works, the sales of the magazine were still stable at about two million copies per issue, and he was self-sufficient.
Even looking at this posture, Lin Han may get millions of dividends from the magazine this year, and the money invested in the past has even earned back the principal and interest!
"One day, I use the vest to write a novel to see if it can be published, and the vest doesn't write science fiction, try fantasy or something. ”
Lin Han said to himself, he didn't know what classic works existed in this world, and he still needed time to compare them in detail.
In addition, compared to science fiction, the number of fantasy works he has seen in his previous life is limited, and most of them are more famous works, such as "The Lord of the Rings" and "A Song of Ice and Fire" and the like, when he crossed over, "A Song of Ice and Fire" was not over, and I don't know what the story will look like in the end!
This can only be regarded as a boring pastime for him, and he will be remembered in his heart for the time being, and he will officially start when he is bored one day.
In fact, the report is almost the same for Lin Han, he is not a professional analyst, and he can only look at the operation of "Fantasy Age" from the surface.
Since it's okay, you don't need to pay too much attention!
Just as Lin Han was sitting in the office leisurely looking at the data, Xie Xin's voice rang through the phone, "Boss, Mr. Miao is here, do you have time now?"
"Let him in. ”
finally waited for Lin Han to come to the company, and Miao Hong hurried over to visit, and by the way, let's talk about serious things.
When he pushed open the door, he found that his young boss happened to be sitting on the chair for a long time, so Miao Hong said: "Boss, the last time I saw you, it was on a CCTV program. You have to come to our company to show up, otherwise the new employees won't know you. ”
Lin Han made a gesture for Miao Hong to sit down, and he responded with a smile: "No wonder I found a lot of fresh faces in the company today, it turns out that this is the case." What's the matter today?"
"I'm here to promote The Matrix, and now Twentieth Century Fox is saying that he wants us to go to this year's World Science Fiction Film Festival, and it's starting to make a name for itself, and maybe even get the last ticket to this year's Saturn Awards. ”
When Lin Han sent the film to the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television for final review, he also handed over the English version of "The Matrix" to Twentieth Century Fox, so that the employees in charge of distribution and the leaders in charge could see the quality of the finished film!
Although Lin Han was not at the scene, he heard that the employees of the distribution department were almost unanimously praised, and even listed this work as a key publicity object in February next year, and increased the publicity funds by 5 million US dollars, and the North American box office is very promising!
"It's only November, if "The Matrix" goes to the World Science Fiction Film Festival, won't it be exposed in advance?
Lin Han's worries are not unreasonable, if you start to promote the movie on a large scale now, the heat will rise too early, and by the time it is actually released, maybe the boiling blood of the audience has cooled down.
Miao Hong snapped his fingers and said: "Actually, it's almost now, the propaganda in North America has already begun to be laid, at least the posters of "The Matrix" are presented all over the United States, and it is said that there will be big moves behind." If you go to this film festival and win an award, it is also a reflection of the quality of the film. Don't you think The Matrix has an advantage?"
"How is it possible!' The Matrix is definitely the best sci-fi film, no matter where it is placed!" Lin Han retorted directly, he has enough confidence in his novels and movies!
"That's it. Go ahead and try the festival as a test screening for a movie. Fire the first shot!"
Generally speaking, commercial blockbusters will hold test screenings for audiences, theaters, and media, and the distributor will take this opportunity to collect the audience's survey and evaluation, and also let the media do a good job of publicity, and the theater company will schedule the film according to the quality of the film.
Lin Han didn't let go, he asked with concern: "What's going on with this film festival?"
There are so many film festivals at home and abroad, and Lin Han is more familiar with only the three major in Europe: Berlin, Cannes, Venice, and maybe Tokyo.
"In fact, in addition to these, there are many professional film festivals in the world, such as the A-category film festival with 15, and the world's premier independent film festival like the Sundance Film Festival. The world science fiction film festival we are talking about is specifically for science fiction films, and it is also a little famous in the industry!"
In fact, there are many large and small science fiction film festivals, in addition to world science fiction films, there are also science fiction film festivals such as RAW Science Film Festival in the United States and Miami London.
Founded for more than 25 years, the festival is held annually in a different country and city, each lasting eight days, and the films screened are definitely science fiction films!
The main theme of the festival is to find the mysteries of science in the intertwined films.
Although the subject matter of the exhibited works is science fiction, the works are actually quite diverse, including documentaries, experimental films, and data visualization films, and it is difficult to accurately determine what is a science fiction film.
There is no one precise definition of science fiction that is widely agreed. In fact, science fiction movies can be seen as a kind of derivative of science fiction literature!
According to the intersection of science fiction films and other genre films, science fiction films are actually divided into many subgenres, such as adventure films that tell about adventure and travel, science fiction action movies with extraordinary protagonists, grand interstellar wars and cosmic political epic blockbusters, imaginary alien invasions, monster attacks, natural disasters or disaster films spread by viruses, and the combination of science fiction and mythology.
Basically, there are as many genres as there are movies and there are as many genres as there are sci-fi films!
If it is a comedy movie, then after it adds science fiction elements, it is also a science fiction comedy, so this world science fiction film festival still has a lot of attention in this field.
What's more, it also has an innovation, that is, the audience will not know any information about the film until the big screen lights up until they enter the screening room!
