Lin Han pursed his lips. It really has no impact on "Twilight", but it has a great impact on other novels. "So you want me to compete with them and create a situation where two powers compete for hegemony." ?”
…
"I think it's very appropriate that you are called a cancer in the industry and a cancer on the charts."
"You should have a better nickname. Cancer sounds like a curse!" Lin Han joked. His goal was not just this.
"I hope so. I have to renegotiate with the publicists at Paramount. It's a pity that you can't come to the World Writers Summit."
After Li Wenyuan saw the ellipses, he explained: "Actually, this is an honorific for you. You must know that Meryl Streep is called a cancer in the industry because she almost always attends the Golden Globes and Oscars every year. There are nominations for awards. Now that you have been on the sales list for a long time, there is nothing wrong with others saying so."
Competing with "Twilight" is something that every book is unwilling to face, because it means losing the possibility of being a sales champion.
"Is [doge] really that good-looking? I was so scared that I quickly went to Dangdang to pre-order a copy. I was shocked."
Lin Han and Li Wenyuan talked about each other, and they happened to go to get together.
"I know Lin Han won't let us down, just wait for "The Three-Body Problem"!"
After agreeing on a time to bring the sample book, the two ended their Weibo private message chat.
At this time, most discussions on the Internet are focused on "The Three-Body Problem". No one knows the specific content of the novel, and even the science fiction writers are kept in the dark.
Since Lin Han's novel was released, it has been dominating the sales list. Even if it is not number one, it has not fallen out of the top ten. After finally publishing a short story, it appears on the hot list again.
"Lin Han, do you know you have an extra nickname?" Li Wenyuan said in a private message on Weibo.
Lin Han hung up the phone. He didn't expect that the dinosaurs that once swept the world would also encounter opponents, but this made it more exciting and made his silent blood begin to slowly boil.
Fans who originally had a surge in popularity because of "The Three-Body Problem" suddenly became excited about what novel could make the entire editorial department obsessed with it.
Lin Han was speechless at this title, and Lin Han could only reply with a series of... He secretly wondered what was wrong with him. He was obviously the benchmark for the progress of science fiction literature, even though he was a bit narcissistic.
But after Lin Han checked his WeChat, Chen Jiaxuan sent a message.
The official Weibo account of Renmin University Press: "We are counting down to one week until the release of "The Three-Body Problem"! The editor has been completely impressed by Lin Da. It is wonderful and breathtaking. The picture below is from the overtime editorial department. Everyone worked overtime for free just to publish the novel. Finished reading!”
"What about those who say Lin Hanjiang has exhausted his talents? Can your master conquer so many editors?"
"Jurassic Park" is a popular science fiction thriller for all ages, while "Twilight" is mainly targeted at teenagers and women.
"Congratulations on your complete success with "The Twilight Saga". It will be released simultaneously in all major markets around the world next week. Your "Jurassic Park" is fighting with it abroad, and "The Three-Body Problem" is fighting against it domestically. It's a double line. Is the combat pressure high?"
"Okay, okay, I'll deliver it to your door in person, isn't it just a book? That's all."
Lin Han, who was set to not accept private messages from unfollowed people, suddenly saw the message reminder next to him. He replied and asked: "Oh? What's your nickname? Tell me quickly."
This is a strong opponent. Only strong opponents can inspire fighting spirit. He can't wait to have a good fight.
Nowadays, the impact of list cancer is getting wider and wider, and it has even gone abroad and occupied a place on the bestseller lists of the United States, the United Kingdom, Europe and other countries, so this name is very resounding in the industry.
"I will cooperate with you on the Internet, such as recording a video or audio. I can't help with other things. I believe that the dinosaurs in "Jurassic Park" will not be afraid of vampire werewolves."
Never underestimate the purchasing power of young readers. They can even make movies like "Twilight" the box office champion. The power of fans is quite amazing.
Only the editors at the National People's Congress Publishing House and the workers at the printing factory knew the general content, and they were all amazed.
If "Jurassic Park" and "The Twilight Saga" really fight each other to the death, then it is very likely that both will suffer losses, and neither of them will be able to increase their sales.
"There's still one week to go, and it's so torturous. I can't bear the pressure."
Even Li Wenyuan didn't know the specific content of "The Three-Body Problem". He only knew Lin Han's general thoughts. Now after seeing these popular Weibo posts, he couldn't help but poke Lin Han privately and asked him for a sample book to preview.
It can be said that the name Random House has a little friction with Lin Han. The publisher was the first to take a fancy to the commercial value of the English version of "I, Robot", but wanted to buy it at a very low price.
Unfortunately, he was rejected by Lin Han, and then he took several of his books and threw himself into the arms of Penguin Publishing Group. Random House also became a joke in the industry, letting go of such a blue chip stock, all of his own doing!
Even so, Lin Han didn't think that the early release of the "Twilight" novel was due to him. The hatred between them has not reached this level yet. If two tigers fight, one of them will be injured.
"If you want to know the nickname, just give me a sample book of "The Three-Body Problem". SF Express collects it, and I'll pay for the postage!"
"Bingo!" Alex snapped his fingers. "Although your novel is well written and has good sales, it has a small audience. We analyzed it, "Jurassic Park" and "The Twilight Saga" " has some overlap in readership, so I hope to steal these readers."
"It must have something to do with it. It's mainly for the promotion of their movie and a suitable news breaking point. You know that the novel is about to end, but the second part of their movie will be released in November, so they have postponed it. Anyway, they think "The Twilight Saga" novel will always take the first place in any time period, so it doesn't have any impact whether it is done earlier or not."
"Oh my God, editor, just wait for the blade to be sent to you! You didn't reveal any information at all."
"Alex, do you really think it's because of me?" Lin Han asked bluntly. He didn't want to run over so stupidly. It would be better to stay at home and relax if he has anything to do.
