Chapter 490: Xinhua Bookstore Promotion Ambassador

(Today is still three more, and now the subscription is declining seriously, please support genuine reading, thank you~)

Now that Lin Han's income has been exposed, Zhong Xuan's provocation is more like a clown jumping off the beam, after removing the sales of 10 million copies, there are 10 million more copies than him, what is the difference between the Chihuahua provoking the Tibetan mastiff!

No one is going to publicize the duel between the two anymore, this is an insult to Lin Han's status, if you want to fight the duel, you must at least have two sides whose status and strength are close to it, now the gap is too big, and there is no suspense.

Lin Han also left this matter behind, and didn't want to care about this aspect, as long as his new book was listed normally and safely, it would be a victory!

In the morning of late autumn and early winter, the temperature was really cold, and after Lin Han warmed up in the garden, he ran around the villa area with headphones on.

Long-term desk writing, the profession of a writer is also prone to occupational diseases, cervical spondylosis is probably the most common, and there are tenosynovitis, chronic lumbar muscle strain, chronic fatigue syndrome, and even hemorrhoids or something.

Of course, writers also have the longest careers, and they can write from their teens and twenties to their seventies and eighties, but it is a must to have a strong physique for such a long time!

Lin Han has always attached great importance to his body, and he usually gets up and walks around every two hours when he writes, and finally has his current status and net worth.

After running ten kilometers, he slowed down and stopped the rest of the distance to give his body a buffer time, and people who don't have to go to work are so happy!

After Lin Han went home and took a hot bath, he put on his jacket and ate breakfast, preparing for today's pastime.

Eating porridge buns, he opened the newspaper and read the news, sure enough, most of today's newspapers have his news, but because Chinese football drew Iran, the news of his appearance on the global rich list can only be the headline on the second page, which is also a very good position.

The Beijing News used such a headline to write the news, "Who is the most profitable in the world?" Lin Han beats Aunt Rowling, and Patterson is king!"

"The newly released list of global writers' incomes is much more luxurious than the list of rich Chinese writers, and the income gap between Chinese and foreign writers has further widened, and if they really want to make money from writing, then Chinese writers must be more diligent.

Of course, the announcement of this list also makes those who lament the decline of pure literature in China feel a little better. Because the rich writers on the list are all genre literary writers, none of them write pure literature, and pure literature is not only declining in China, but also in the world!

The Beijing News reporter compared this list with last year's list of Chinese writers and found that although Chinese and foreign readers have different interests, most of the people on the list are also genre literary writers. ā€

The genre literature mentioned here is compared with traditional elite literature and pure literature, that is, popular literature is subdivided into subject categories, such as officialdom and workplace, crossing the sky, martial arts Xianxia, fantasy fantasy science fiction, mysterious supernatural adventure, thriller, suspense horror, game competition, youth growth, military spy warfare, urban love, etc.

Lin Han is also a genre literary writer, he belongs to science fiction, and a little bit belongs to urban love.

To get back to the point, the article continues: "But the cruel reality is that in front of Western writers, Chinese writers are still very poor. The reporter made a comparison: Last year, the richest Chinese writer had an annual income of 5,900 yuan, while the richest writer in the world had $95 million, and when converted into RMB, it was 650 million, just 11 times! That is to say, the income of the rich Chinese writers, who are the envy of many of their peers, is less than a fraction of that of the rich foreign writers!

Fortunately, Lin Han came to our rescue this year, and his income of $72 million was not much compared to the top of the list, which made us feel a little comforted, at least the gap has been narrowed so much at once.

It is worth mentioning that Ms. J.K. Rowling, the mother of Harry Potter, who is familiar to Chinese readers, has now plummeted, and it will be interesting to see whether she will make a comeback next year with Lin Han and champion James Patterson to form a troika. ā€

This news is quite well written, not only narrating the news, but also seizing the breaking point, such as the horrible 11 times the income, and also analyzing the reasons!

This result is very discouraging, because in terms of royalty rate, the royalty of many famous Chinese artists has exceeded 15% or even 20%, which is on par with international brands, and Lin Han is just this number.

But the internationalization of writers from these countries is very strong, and their works are selling well in Europe and the United States, and even more countries will be on the shelves, and Dan Brown's "The Da Vinci Code" is not only a bestseller in Europe and the United States, but also sells nearly five million copies in China.

In contrast, the "sphere of influence" of China's rich writers is mostly confined to China, and with the exception of Lin Han, few writers have sold more than half a million copies in overseas markets.

Even if the rest of their works can sell millions of copies in China, because they can only be sold in China and cannot earn dollars and euros, the world ranking of income will naturally be greatly reduced!

What's more, most Chinese writers are still very low-yielding, and if they want to treat literature as an industry, then low-productivity is obviously fatal.

A large part of the reason why Patterson has been able to occupy the first place in the income list for a long time is because of his high production, and he can write an average of ten books a year in an assembly line way! Even the reason why Lin Han's income is so high is also because of his diligence in writing books, although he is not as good as Patterson, but there are six or seven books a year.

Just imagine, if Lin Han only writes two books a year, even if he can maintain the current sales, the total sales will be much less, so the prolific writers are very advantageous!

Among so many reports, Lin Han's favorite is this one, he folded the newspaper, and then went to the forum of the Hanlin Academy, and found that his readers did not have the mentality of hating the rich, and they were all happy and proud of their success.

"Congratulations to Mr. Lin for being the runner-up in the global writers' income list, this is a reward for hard work, as long as you write carefully, readers will definitely see it, and look forward to more excellent works in the future!"

"Awesome, my Mr. Lin! Last year, I ranked third in China, and this year I went directly to the second place in the world, and my income has increased tenfold!"

"Mr. Lin has worked hard to write so many novels, and it is normal to have this income. How much sweat you pay, how much success you can reap, this is not enviable!"

"Confession, those writers in China envy Mr. Lin's income, but they don't even have one-tenth of Mr. Lin's diligence, and they publish one or two books a year, making readers wait for them, this kind of person is the most hateful!"

"I'm really happy for Mr. Lin, I remember when I watched the interview before, I once saw Mr. Lin say that he couldn't even pay the rent when he was most depressed, and now it's really inspirational!"

"This is really in response to Li Bai's words, I am born to be useful, and I will come back when my daughter is gone!"

"Those who have tasted failure will know how hard-won success is. ā€

"Mr. Lin vividly interprets what it means to be a person who is more successful than you and works harder than you......"

Unconsciously, Lin Han, who turned from a bad director salted fish to a well-known writer, is already an inspirational model in the minds of many netizens, and even appears as a positive character in the compositions of many middle school students.

Who made his history of struggle attract the national media to report in turn, and the students have such a living example in front of them, and it is wasted without praising it in the composition!

"These people are really good at playing. ā€

Lin Han smiled and shook his head, many netizens in the forum were giving advice on how Lin Han spent money, and one of them made his eyes shine and make a sci-fi movie of his own.

This idea hit him directly in his heart, even if he can't make "The Three-Body Problem" now, it shouldn't be a problem to make a small-scale sci-fi film, right?

Anyway, I have money, and I have studied seriously for so long, it may be a good idea to find a movie to practice my skills.

This idea just came to his mind, and as soon as a call from Chen Jiaxuan came, Lin Han picked up the phone and slid it to the right to connect it.

"Hey, honey, aren't you sleeping in your bedroom, you have to call for something. ā€

Lin Han's words were full of incomprehension, he asked as he walked from the living room to the bedroom upstairs, he thought that something had happened to Chen Jiaxuan.

"I'm too lazy to get up and call you, just now Miao Hong called me to inform me of a good news!"

Just as Chen Jiaxuan was talking to the mobile phone, Lin Han had already pushed open the bedroom door and walked in, he sat on the edge of the bed, opened the curtain a gap, and asked, "Say, I'll listen." ā€

Chen Jiaxuan grabbed the pillow next to her and put it behind her back, and said, "You know Xinhua Bookstore, they took the initiative to come to the door!"

All Chinese, how many people don't know about Xinhua Bookstore?

Even in some relatively remote small towns, you can see that signboard, the largest chain bookstore in the country, and it is also the largest sales place where Lin Han's novels can sell well across the country.

"The people at Xinhua Bookstore want you to be their ambassador, and of course the focus of the publicity is not domestic, but abroad. As you know, Xinhua Bookstore is owned by China Publishing Group, and one of their subsidiaries, China National Books Import & Export Corporation, is about to open a branch in Los Angeles. It just so happens that you have just reached the second place in the global author's income list, so it is a wise choice to ask you to promote the brand of Xinhua Bookstore!"

Although the business of Xinhua Bookstore is mainly domestic, it still has a branch in the United States and Europe, such as two or three stores in New York, which is the largest Chinese bookstore in the region, and Los Angeles is also a gathering place for Chinese, with a considerable number of Chinese readers.

Even these bookstores not only sell Chinese books, but also English works, such as Lin Han's novels translated into English, where you can buy several different language versions of "The Three-Body Problem", "Jurassic Park" and so on!
