"The background of the novel I wrote is a bit sensitive. Mr. Zhao, are you sure you don't want to learn more about it?"
“…”
Don't rush the novel. Many times typos will appear if you write too quickly. What's more, Lin Han also needs to modify some of the plot and wording, so you can't rush.
"Not yet. I want to wait until the novel is finished before looking for a publisher. It's too early now."
Fortunately, the refrigerator is fully stocked, otherwise the supermarkets outside would have been closed.
In order to make the beginning of the novel more sci-fi and engaging, the publisher negotiated with Liu and made some adjustments to the order of chapters, placing chapters four to eight of the serial version at the front and the first three chapters after them. .
In order not to be praised and deified, Lin Han simply posted a message on Weibo to announce his new book, thereby changing the focus of the topic, "Recently I have concentrated on writing a new book seriously. According to the current progress, it will take ten days or half a year." The manuscript will be completed in a month and I will be able to meet you soon. The theme is still a science fiction novel, called "The Three-Body Problem"!"
Because the first three chapters of the series are all about Ye Wenjie's growth process during the Cultural Revolution, they seem to have little to do with science fiction and are not very attractive. When it was serialized in "Science Fiction World", because the readers were pure die-hard science fiction fans, they could read it no matter what the beginning was. However, the same could not be said for other readers of the physical version. Many people had no idea about the turbulent era and the relationship with science fiction. The big beginning has no interest.
Zhao Han was silent for a moment. He originally wanted to win the physical copyright, but when he heard what Lin Han said, he couldn't help but beat a drum in his heart. The background was not easy to touch. If you don't pay attention, you could easily be rejected by the approval. What if it really happened? Any problems will affect the entire publishing house.
Three chapters totaled more than 50,000 words. Lin Han's efficiency was already very high. He felt that his fingers began to hurt slightly, and he even forgot to get up and move his neck.
China Science and Technology Network, Phoenix Technology Channel, Tencent Technology, Sina Toutiao and even CCTV have forwarded these news. In conjunction with the broadcast of the second part of the "Wandering Earth" radio drama, it once again became popular on the Internet.
He himself prefers the order of the serial version. Ye Wenjie's background is the basis of the entire novel and cannot be deleted. Moreover, his current popularity is enough for readers to read these three chapters.
The first chapter of the physical version begins with "Wang Miao felt that the four people who came to him were a strange combination." This is actually the beginning of the fourth chapter of the serialized version.
From the beginning of the novel, Ye Wenjie faced the tragedy of her father, to later becoming an educated youth chopping down trees, and then being framed by Bai Mulin to take the blame. The book "Silent Spring" had a huge impact on her life, and even became a turning point in human history.
After Lin Han filled up his five internal organs temple, he returned to the computer, but at this time he no longer wanted to code, so he began to browse the news, accepting the latest news so as not to be derailed by the world.

Today Chen Jiaxuan and her artists are on a business trip to participate in a charity event. There will probably be a party after the event.
Lin Han had been following "Science Fiction World" since its serialization, and he decisively supported "The Three-Body Problem" after the physical version was released. However, this confusing chapter was widely criticized. This time, he did not want to cause trouble to readers. Unify chapter names from the beginning.
He had to live a good life alone while cooking and washing vegetables. Although it was already nine o'clock in the evening, he was not willing to abuse himself by eating instant noodles or takeout.

With a thud, Zhao Han hesitated and asked, "Of course, the background is still very important."
This does not seem like a lot of work, but it is a chapter title in the traditional sense, not a small chapter of two or three thousand words like an online novel. Take "Crazy Age" as an example, this chapter is enough More than seventeen thousand words.
"Teacher Lin, I won't talk nonsense. I just saw that you are writing a new book "The Three-Body Problem". I wonder if you have confirmed the publisher?" Zhao Han's name for Lin Han changed from Xiao Lin to Teacher Lin now. , and will never treat him as a new person again.
Before he could check the sudden increase in replies, a call from the publishing house came to Lin Han's mobile phone at an unusually fast speed.
Lin Han did not want to scare Zhao Han, but put the facts before his eyes, "The beginning of what I wrote was the ten-year Cultural Revolution, and it involved the Red Guards and some fabricated top-secret plans, which is a bit politically sensitive."
Lin Han has always had a pleasant cooperation with Renmin University Publishing House. They have wide channels, fast distribution, and settle accounts every month. So far, there has been no default in payment of royalties.
There is a slight discrepancy between the physical version and the serialized version. That is because the order was slightly adjusted when publishing. The content is exactly the same, but the order of chapters is inconsistent.
"Hello, Mr. Zhao? It's so late, what's wrong?" Lin Han probably understood what the other party meant, but he didn't ask.
Zhao Han directly set Lin Han's Weibo to pay special attention, and he would be alerted whenever there was any disturbance. Now that the news of the new book was announced, he immediately became nervous.
After his mind was clear, Lin Han quickly started writing. A large part of the plot of "Three-Body" takes place in Beijing. Whether it is the combat center or Wang Miao's Nanomaterials Research Center, these place names look extremely familiar.
When Zhao Han found out that there were no competitors, he calmed down a little, "Have you ever considered our publishing house? In view of the cooperative relationship with Teacher Lin, even if we don't finish the manuscript, we can still show the greatest sincerity, 18% How about the royalties? This is the top level in the country."
In the spacious and quiet study room, the only sounds left were Lin Han's typing on the keyboard and the light music flowing from the speakers. This coding environment was much more comfortable than the square dance melodies of the aunts.
One day passed, and Lin Han had not completed many chapters, that is, he had finished the first three chapters, "The Age of Crazy," "Silent Spring," and "One of the Red Banks."
This result was obviously discovered by the space agency a long time ago, but it was only disclosed now. This disclosure triggered a heated discussion among people, and Lin Han could only shake his head and ignore it.
"The Three-Body Problem" was first serialized in the magazine "Science Fiction World". This serialized version is the most widely circulated e-book version on the Internet. This version begins with "The Red Alliance's attack on the headquarters building of the 428th Corps". It is a relatively orthodox first chapter.
The cold and harsh conditions in the detention center, and being transferred to Hong'an Base to participate in the work, Ye Wenjie's life seems to have been fixed, but in fact, who knows
In fact, this is not the same thing at all. He has no ability to predict. He is just a blind cat meeting a dead mouse.
So he gritted his teeth and said: "As long as you dare to write, I will accept it, but you must be careful not to step on the line! If possible, we can sit together and discuss how to write the background. We are at the General Administration of Press and Publication. Plenty of experience.”
Every day when logging in to Weibo and QQ, there will be some lags. Some extreme fans even don’t know how to find his QQ account. He adds a lot of friends and sends temporary conversation reminders.
Besides him, who else could write 50,000 words in such a short period of time
