"He didn't come even if I called specifically to invite him. How many people are waiting to be invited? This is not a place where cats and dogs can come. The entry threshold is high. If he wants to come in the future, he won't be allowed to join."
The money he had worked hard to earn for so long was handed over in a blink of an eye, and his savings immediately shrunk by more than half.
"Dear, your cell phone is ringing. It's a call from Brother Li. Come and answer it." Chen Jiaxuan, wearing slippers, quickly held the phone to Lin Han's ear.
"What the hell, it's like we're begging him to come. If you don't want to come, just say so." Another writer muttered in a low voice. He didn't believe this was true at all.
Of course, many people do not necessarily have such simple ideas. Some people want to learn from Lin Han's experience, how to make novels sell well overseas, and whether they have any experience in copyright sales.
Now his identity is different. In the selection of the most popular writers of the year, which ended at 12 o'clock last night, he was successfully elected with 1.41 million votes, beating out other domestic writers!
Now all we have to do is wait for Lin Han to sign the house sales contract in triplicate. This house is in a good location and has an elegant environment. Lin Han paid nearly 9 million to buy it.
No, at the top of their long queue waiting for a taxi, there was a young man dragging a suitcase, holding a copy of "The Three-Body Problem" and reading it carefully without wasting any time.
There are twenty or thirty writers in the coffee shop, half of them have received invitations to tomorrow's annual meeting, and the other half are not eligible to enter.
Except for a very small number of journalists, he does not have such a wide reputation. He is famous for his works.
Lin Han looked at Chen Jiaxuan and the unfinished scene in his kitchen, and couldn't help but said: "Mosquito, I just flew back from Daocheng Aden today. I'm too tired. I won't go to today's party. Please help me follow Everyone, say you’re sorry.”
Not only are there magnificent and sacred snow-capped mountains, but there are also vast and boundless meadows, and the colorful forests are the label. The transparent blue children reflect the most beautiful scenery of the snow-covered plateau.
The writers who can attend the annual meeting of writers of the General Administration of Press and Publication, at best, have won national awards. There are two Mao Dun Literature Award winners in this cafe, and there are also several Shuren Literature Award (Lu Xun Literature Award) winners.
This was originally a question for Chen Jiaxuan, but it ended up being passed from the cell phone to the other end of the phone.
There are many young writers who are amazing at their debut, but people like Lin Han have gone from being a great director in the entertainment industry to a best-selling author, and they can write faster than anyone else and with better quality than anyone else.
"It starts at seven o'clock in the evening. Then you have to go to the red carpet over there at six o'clock. Your suit and leather shoes are ready and hung over there. Are you sure you don't want to put on makeup? There will be a live video broadcast then."
The two returned to the house they had been away from for almost a week. Chen Jiaxuan was so tired that she lay directly on the sofa, but Lin Han was busy opening the windows and tidying up the house. He would not be able to think clearly unless he gave it a new look.
He doesn't go out to participate in many activities. He just writes books quietly at home. Even if he goes out to the supermarket or goes to the gym carelessly, he will be regarded as an ordinary citizen.
Lin Han, who was busy chopping vegetables in the kitchen, quickly picked up his phone and asked, "Brother Li, who is it?"
Lin Han suddenly realized and replied: "Who knew she would call you Brother Li? We usually call you Mosquito. What kind of wind blew you here today and you actually called me."
"You can come over now. Our cafe here in Sanlitun has not only people who write science fiction, but also writers of other types. You can come and meet people."
Most of the writers are older, mostly middle-aged. Suddenly Lin Han suddenly emerges, and seeing that he is about to win the title of this year's most popular writer, of course I want to get to know this powerful writer.
No matter how good the writers are at writing books, they may not yet have enough skills in cultivating their moral character.
"Yes, you are much better than those wrinkled writers. Wouldn't it be a little inhumane to let you go over and crush them?"
At the same time, over at the cafe, when Li Wenyuan returned indoors with his mobile phone, a writer in his thirties asked, "How is it? Does he have time to come over?"
For novelists, the Paradox Literature Award is their ultimate goal, because this award is only for novels, and the number of words must be more than 130,000 words.
"Well, you have a good rest, tomorrow will be your day to create glory."
"You are thinking too much. This time, more than half of them are well-known writers in China. Most of them are leaders in various fields. Only a few of them got in based on sales like me. Writers are all based on their works. Who cares about their appearance? shallow."
"If we don't agree with each other, I would rather lie dead at home."
When Chen Jiaxuan opened her sleepy eyes, Lin Han had already placed breakfast on the dining table, and went to the bathroom to rinse off the sweat on his body.
Lin Han flew directly from Daocheng Yading Airport to Beijing with some reluctance. He wanted to continue playing for a few more days, but work matters were still important after all, especially since he was going to attend this year's Writers' Annual Conference.
To be honest, Lin Han's novel sales are not the highest this year, but his popularity is definitely one of the best. From January to October, he is in the news headlines every month. Some netizens even joked that Lin Han and his science fiction The novel was bought and trended on Weibo, and it always appears on it.
"Forget it, others really have something to do and can't come, so why worry about it so much."
As a full-time writer, Lin Han's life is not as beautiful as the outside world thinks. He just carries a laptop and writes novels while traveling. This is the image of movies or other literary and artistic works.
After making the decision, Lin Han filled in the schedule, leaving two months to finish the remaining novels without any problems.
This is also the first prop to be exposed in the movie version of "Jurassic Park" and it is confirmed that it will be used in the movie. It is just one of the peripheral expanded knowledge.
It was nearly 300,000 votes behind the second place, and the 300,000 votes could already place it in the top ten, which is so scary.
Among them, the Lao She Literature Award, the Mao Dun Literature Award, the Shuren Literature Award, and the Cao Yu Drama Literature Award are known as the four major literary awards in contemporary China. Winning these talents can be regarded as officially entering the palace.
Lin Han was not a delicate person. The studio once wanted to arrange for an assistant to come over, but he politely refused because it was really not needed.
Although the most popular work of the year has not yet been announced, everyone has a vague idea that as long as nothing unexpected happens, Lin Han's place will definitely be indispensable.
The location of the house, property rights status, transaction price, delivery time, and property rights management are all being negotiated by the employees of Chen Jiaxuan Studio, and they have reached an agreement before.
…
Of course, so much amber cannot be truly unearthed natural amber, but artificial amber now made using machines, with lifelike long-legged mosquitoes wrapped inside.
Like the devout local Tibetans, Lin and Han walked around the mountains under the guidance of a guide. Although it was physically demanding, they were close to nature and made people feel that their body and mind had evolved.
Her hair was messed up, and she couldn't help but put the scarf on her neck down. The sweater on her body seemed to be unable to block the cold wind at all, "Winter has entered so soon?"
After hanging up the phone, Lin Han put the phone in his trouser pocket, washed his hands, and then continued to fight with the peppers.
Chen Jiaxuan leaned on the door frame of the kitchen and asked curiously: "Why don't you go over there and have a look. Many of the people who come here are your seniors. You should go and meet them both emotionally and logically."
"He just came back from traveling two hours ago. Now he is exhausted. He will only come here after recuperating tomorrow. Lin Han asked me to say sorry to everyone."
In fact, there are very few writers who can reach that level. Many writers are actually homebodies. It’s not that they have no money or time, but they are too lazy to go or don’t want to go.
Lin Han also frowned. This is not impossible. "I'm going to find out. If this is the case, just ask the National Writers Association how to join."
…
After Chen Jiaxuan had eaten and drank, she leaned back in her chair and said, "You won a Galaxy Award in China, and you didn't even get the rest of the awards. This is too much. Is it because you didn't join the Writers' Association? I think they These awards will not be given to someone who has not joined the Writers Association."
The conversation went a bit far. Returning to the conversation between Lin Han and Li Wenyuan, Lin Han sighed, "Mosquito, I will get to know them tomorrow. Isn't the annual meeting a place for socializing? Say hello to Mr. Tong for me. See you tomorrow."
"Can't you come over and say hello?" Li Wenyuan really thinks about his little brother. There are three stakes in the fence, and it is not an option to not come out to socialize all the time. "They are all very interested in you and want to get to know you. .”
Writers also have a certain small circle. It is difficult to join them if no one recommends them. Everyone has a slight tendency to xenophobia.
While Chen Jiaxuan was eating steamed buns, she was muttering to herself that the last time Lin Han attended an awards ceremony was at the Hugo Awards in Los Angeles. Because the distance is too far, not many staff members go there, and the coffee seats are not available.
However, before attending the annual meeting today, he also made an appointment with the owner of the house in front of him to discuss the purchase of a house. He planned to buy this house as a temporary residence.
Although these writers seem to have a thorn in their hearts, they have nothing to do with Lin Han. Should they write an article to criticize him
However, Lin Han walked out wrapped in a bath towel. He was not afraid of the cold. His strong chest muscles and six-pack abs were exposed to the air. He replied: "No need to put on makeup, I'm not an actor. Besides, I'm always If you invite the youngest and most handsome writers and put on makeup, will the rest of the writers still have to work?"
Now is the annual meeting of writers, and Lin Han has no intention of writing "Three-Body: Dark Forest". Anyway, this book exists in his memory, and he can just write it out quickly when the time comes.
"I said, you kid turns your back on me too quickly. It's only been so long since we last met, and you don't even recognize me anymore!" Li Wenyuan joked on the other end of the phone.
The day's plan begins in the morning. After running to activate his muscles, his fatigue will disappear, and he is full of expectations for the annual writers' conference in the evening.
Early the next morning, Lin Han, who had rested comfortably, resumed his regular schedule. After getting up and warming up, he started running.
Lin Han and Chen Jiaxuan, who single-handedly started this music storm, are happy to be quiet. They moved from the Hugu Lake Scenic Area to Daocheng Aden. This unique landform and original ecological scenery are fascinating.
"I guess there is cold air coming from Siberia. There will be no traffic jams when I go back at this time, so just wait in line."
Autumn in Beijing is probably the most comfortable time among the four seasons, but this year's cold wave came extremely early, and strong winds blew past, making Chen Jiaxuan couldn't help but shiver.
"With such a big arrogance, so many people can't invite him? Today's young people have no rules at all. In ancient times, there was no room for him."
This is too big a fuss to make.
Tomorrow is the official annual meeting, and today is just a warm-up at best. Although some local writers in Beijing did not receive invitations to the annual meeting, they just happened to be able to come out and get together today.
Of course, this will definitely take some time and there are a lot of procedures involved, but no matter what, Lin Han officially has his own real nest in Beijing and has a sense of belonging to this world.
After the contract is signed, it is time to handle the transfer of ownership. Lin Han does not need to worry about applying to the housing authority for review. He can be a hands-off shopkeeper with peace of mind.
The copyright management of Lin Han's two novels is jaw-dropping, especially "Jurassic Park". Now the peripheral models are out, and the mosquito amber that has had a profound impact has been turned into a necklace, which has just started pre-sale on Amazon. The price is as high as $99 and there are more than a thousand pre-orders.
Li Wenyuan sighed secretly. Lin Han's popularity was really worrying, so he hoped it wouldn't have much impact.
In order to save trouble, he even wanted to write the third part directly, and publish the remaining two parts in one go during the New Year, so that readers can feast their eyes on it, and give it out as a New Year gift.
Li Wenyuan coughed twice, "Isn't this the writers' annual meeting soon? Most of us have arrived in Beijing in advance, so we will have a small gathering before the official annual meeting. I have sent you an email before, QQ There was no answer to my inquiries on WeChat, so I had no choice but to call you.”
After all, tomorrow is a very formal occasion, not suitable for reminiscing and chatting.
Most of this award is dominated by realistic novels, which are highbrow and low-key. Not to mention science fiction novels, even other types of novels cannot get involved. This is probably the exclusive domain of traditional writers.
In the novel, the mosquito blood in the amber is used to extract the DNA of dinosaurs, so as to clone them and bring the overlords of the Jurassic period back to the world.
However, Lin Han twisted his neck and asked, "When?"
