It felt very good to be given the green light, and Lin Han only sat and waited for half an hour before getting his certificate, which completely subverted his perception of the efficiency of these institutions. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Sister Zhang, will I go directly over there next Monday to report and get the guest certificates, or do I need to come here?"

Lin Han didn't want to run around like this all the time, it was a complete waste of time, and he would rather sleep lazy on Monday morning and go to the exhibition again.

Zhang Wenya, who was processing the follow-up documents, smiled and said: "Just go directly to the venue, we have special staff to distribute guest work cards over there, your name and photo will be on the work card, as long as you find a place." ”

There will definitely be no high-end laboratories or anything like that at the exhibition site, and most of them should be practical or fruitful displays, so Lin Han didn't have much hope.

He just wanted to go over and increase his knowledge, to realize that people are the best, and if he can't, it doesn't matter, it's better to go out and do activities than to stay at home and write novels all the time.

Walking out of the air-conditioned room, a heat wave instantly enveloped Lin Han, and a dazzling light enveloped the earth.

Standing at the taxi pick-up and drop-off area, Lin Han waited for a long time and didn't wait for an empty car to come, and there were passengers in these hurried cars.

Unwilling to carpool with others, there is no driver to take orders with taxi software, he said to himself: "You have to buy a car, otherwise you really can't live." ”

After looking forward to it, a car finally stopped in front of him, which happened to be someone who wanted to get off here, and it happened to be cheap Lin Han.

After sitting in the back seat, Lin Han began to think about buying a car, Chen Jiaxuan is so busy now that she definitely doesn't have time to buy a car with her, and she may not know much about cars.

So he took out his mobile phone and sent a text message to his friend Wang Hao: "Mr. Hao, do you have time today and tomorrow, accompany me to buy a car." ”

"How about tomorrow morning?" Wang Hao's reply was also very fast, almost a second.

"Yes, let's meet at the Asian Games Village, there are more 4S stores over there, we can take a look. ”

"No problem, just buy a scooter for easy travel. ”

Lin Han never thought about pursuing any luxury and luxury, he only hated that he didn't have enough money now, and he was reluctant to use so much money to buy a car.

If it weren't for the inconvenience of traveling, Lin Han wouldn't have this idea, he couldn't wait to sell a few more novels now and give himself a little more royalties.

If you want to make a sci-fi movie on your own, having enough money is the most important condition. It's not wise to spend too much money on the car, not to mention that he hasn't even gotten the royalties yet.

Don't look at "I, Robot", which has sold millions of copies abroad, but due to the complexity of cross-border settlement, it will take him at least two months to get the first month's manuscript fee.

The same is true for the sales of "The Martian" in China, which can be regarded as far from quenching his thirst, and what he can get in May is the sales of "I, Robot" in China in March.

This is basically a special instruction, otherwise ordinary authors would not have gotten the money so quickly.

Generally speaking, the settlement period is 3-4 months for private wholesale channels, 6-12 months for Xinhua bookstore channels, and 4-5 months for e-commerce channels.

At the expiration of the settlement period, through the reconciliation of both parties, the channel distributor will either return the payment to the publisher or return the goods.

It can be said that Lin Han's current manuscript fee is paid in advance by the publishing god of the National People's Congress, and the publishing house will pay Lin Han the manuscript remuneration first, and then settle with the distributor.

The sales of "I, Robot" in March have actually entered a period of exhaustion, not as ferocious as when it was first released in January, and there is no recovery led by the hot sales of the English version in May, which sold 180,000 copies in a month.

The manuscript fee settled by the entity is only 810,000 yuan, plus 230,000 yuan from electronic channels, and he still has to pay taxes and Chen Jiaxuan's agent, and in the end it is only 620,000 yuan.

Now that "The Martian" is selling well, he can't get a penny, so he has to take out his previous savings to make up for it.

……

The next day, Lin Han took his wallet and mobile phone and went to the Asian Games Village, he was going to drive his car back to the community, and yesterday he rented a fixed parking space in the community, and the price was not cheap.

Wang Hao was wearing a T-shirt of an anime character, and he didn't care about his image at all, and he gave a punch after seeing Lin Han: "You are so good now, I can see your news on CCTV." When I tune to the science and education channel, I will definitely invite you to join our program and cheer me on. ”

"You're not making TV series anymore?" Lin Han was a little surprised, obviously he had just filmed the TV series version of "Journey to the West", so he should take advantage of the victory to chase after him and remove the word in front of the assistant director.

"Alas, it's too tiring to shoot TV dramas, so I'm suitable for staying in TV stations and working. The last time I went around the country to shoot, my mother couldn't see me, and now she says that I will go to the TV station to be the director of a column group, and I don't know which column I will be transferred to. ”

As a local tyrant in Yanjing, Wang Hao can live a good life even if he doesn't work.

Lin Han still feels a little pity, "You are now filming "Journey to the West" with a very high starting point and qualifications, you are from a professional director department, and you have also worked with a big crew. If you go for a smaller TV series, it's no problem. It's a shame to give up now. ”

"There's no pity, it's not like you don't know, I'm a very casual person. Wang Hao diverted the topic and said: "Don't talk about me, let's talk about you, how can such a big science fiction writer have to buy a luxury car, otherwise he won't be worthy of your identity." ”

"What kind of luxury car to buy, just have a means of transportation. I'm so short of money that I'm dying of sorrow. Lin Han sighed as he walked forward.

This time it was Wang Hao's turn to be surprised, "Are you still short of money? Although I don't know what your royalties are, but you have sold so many books, and there are film companies looking for you to buy copyrights, how can there be 18 million or something." ”

"My budget for buying a car is less than 1 million, and I have to spend it wisely. ”

More than five million can be regarded as a luxury car, but Lin Han will not invest most of his net worth in it, even if he drives a second-hand Alto, is he not a writer?

Wang Hao summed it up in his heart, "One million can buy a lot of good cars, do you have your favorite brand? There are a lot of brands in 4S stores, it depends on what type you like." ”
