Sure enough, the furious Robin almost yelled. This was a bottomless pit. He had already spent nearly 250,000 US dollars and now wanted 200,000 more. "Jason, did they really say that?"
"I believe you are useless. Our editorial department did not adopt it. You know, I need more..."
In fact, except for Robin, the mad dog, it was almost a happy situation. The reporters and agents all made money, and the newspapers also got the news.
Jason cursed Fuck in his heart, and then replied: "You are really a vampire, how much more do you need? Is $50,000 enough?"
It is not easy to hate someone so much. Robin hung up the phone with great satisfaction. He closed the Amazon reviews full of negative reviews and waited for the email from his agent Jason.
After Justin hung up the phone, he laughed excitedly. He could get 150,000 US dollars by doing nothing. Please come to a dozen fools like this every day. It's so good to make extra money.
Two hours have passed, and only a few readers have commented on this news. Everyone knows the virtues of the National Enquirer, and almost no one believes it.
"100,000 US dollars is my limit. If you refuse to give it, then I will go to other newspapers. They should be more interested."
Although domestic marketing accounts have followed the trend of Lin Han's novels, they are not slow to report these specious negative news, even much faster than those media.
"Deal, I guarantee you can see the report tomorrow."
Regardless of whether it is true or false, as long as they target celebrities, almost none of them can easily pass the test. Under the banner of press freedom, they actually fabricate the source of the story to avoid the sanctions of the defamation law.
Consumers will never know how such a best-selling book is managed. We have all been deceived! "
These gossip tabloids often publish some messy junk news and rumors. The National Enquirer is the leader among them. From presidents and politicians to entertainment stars, there is no news that they dare not compile.
Lin Han, the most popular foreign writer nowadays
But these gossip reporters are unscrupulous beings. Even if this plan is accepted by the editor-in-chief, they still find ways to get more from the villain who provides clues and money.
Good things don't go out, but bad things spread thousands of miles.
The most direct way to attack a writer is to start with his works, which are their bread and butter.
"Are you serious? He is the most popular science fiction writer at the moment. If you report this exclusive news, science fiction readers will definitely buy it! Believe me, this is definitely true."
A single tree cannot make a forest, and just one newspaper is not enough to cause a sensation. Robin is very sinister, waiting for all the media to attack Lin Han together!
"The National Enquirer, a well-known newspaper in North America, recently revealed the inside story of Lin Han's ranking. Every book was artificially placed on the list."
The most important thing is that according to insiders, Lin Han is suspected of fraud in sales. He has purchased novels by himself many times just to hit the top of the sales list!
Reporter Justin Harris dialed the other party's phone: "Hi, Jason, this is Justin. I'm sorry to inform you that the news about Lin Han is not that attractive. You know, he is just a foreign player." writers, people don’t pay much attention to them.”
There are a bunch of so-called supermarket gossip tabloids in the United States. These newspapers and periodicals, which are mainly sold in supermarkets, are small and easy to write in. They can be thrown away after reading them, but they are not cheap.
This reporter obtained some evidence of Lin Han's sales fraud. He bought back his own books many times at a price lower than the market price. Every book contains evidence of fraud in all aspects of sales!
"Foreign media have questioned Lin Han's ghostwriting and ranking list, and foreign countries are already boiling."
Lin Han frowned and asked in confusion: "Why do foreign media have so much time to report on this? Can you send me a copy of the report that you believe?"
"Dear, a staff member just said that there was a report in the foreign media saying that you had faked ghostwriting and sales. Recently, there have been a lot of bad reviews on Amazon. It's probably someone taking action."
"Shocking! Foreign media exposed Lin Han's sales fraud, and there is evidence that Lin Han cheated on the list!"
"impossible!"
“The Lin Han you don’t know—the liar who deceives the public!”
Justin Harris was very happy, "I'm afraid not. I have many people to deal with here. You know, this is a newspaper with a huge circulation, and the review is very strict."
Sensational headlines that expose the private lives of celebrities and movie stars have greatly stimulated the curiosity of readers. They once produced a private video tape of MJ at Neverland, and also published a story about Whitney Houston. The photos of the singing diva lying inside the coffin are all about it.
This report was also thoughtfully paired with the covers and sales data of Lin Han's previous novels, and a liar (liar) watermark was affixed to Lin Han's photo.
However, an hour later, there was almost no discussion about this news on Twitter and Facebook, and there was no movement from the mainstream media, as if they turned a blind eye and this incident never happened.
…
…
The more outside professional book reviewers praised Lin Han and "The Three-Body Problem", the angrier Robin became. In his opinion, these were all things that Lin Han had robbed of their white writers, and Lin Han must be driven out of the North American market. outside!
"I was shocked at that time. The master of science fiction is actually man-made?"
Jason just passed a message and made a net profit of 100,000 US dollars. He wished that Robin would always be at odds with Lin Han. This kind of money would be much more comfortable, and he didn't have to file taxes.
"China's best-selling science fiction writer overseas, Lin Han, graduated from the Huaxia Drama Academy. Before the college entrance examination, he took the so-called art student route and did not have outstanding talents in science, physics, chemistry, and biology.
The National Enquirer is worried that it can't find any sensational news. It originally planned to concoct news about Tom Cruise's new love, but now it seems that it has a better way.
For those tabloid reporters, there is nothing more wonderful in the world than having money and news to report. So with Jason's help, Robin did not hesitate to spend his own money to pull Lin Han down. Altar, ruin his reputation.
The National Enquirer, a magazine that specializes in reporting on celebrities' privacy, is the country's highest-selling and most widely circulated insider magazine. It has stood on American newspaper racks for decades without falling. Although it has been warned and sued by celebrities from all walks of life, Still unchanged, each issue sells five million copies.
However, his science fiction novels are mainly hard science fiction. Novels such as "I, Robot", "The Martian", "Jurassic Park", and "Three-Body Problem" are very rich in various scientific elements, and they are suspected of being ghostwritten.
The news was first exposed in North America. As a result, the American media and the public did not believe this scandal. However, the compatriots in China did not wait for the truth to come out and nailed Lin Han to the pillar of shame, as if the coffin was sealed!
Since Lin Han was considered a half-worker, they commissioned a private detective to easily find out some of Lin Han's life events. For a writer, revelations about his private life are not interesting, not to mention that Lin Han has a good private life and has a stable relationship.
If the money is gone, you can make it again, so you must vent your anger.
Early the next morning, Robin drove from home in high spirits. He rarely went to the supermarket, so he rushed to the supermarket on the first trip and bought the National Enquirer. He wanted to see what he had spent hundreds of thousands on. How effective is the U.S. dollar
"Of course, you have to know that the National Enquirer dared to fabricate the news about Ao Guanhai's affair. No matter how popular Lin Han's novel is, it is just a stranger to ordinary Americans and does not have the conditions to report it. It is necessary to deal with these, If that doesn't work, let's go to other newspapers. Anyway, there are so many tabloids to choose from." Jason said this deliberately, he knew Robin's temper very well.
“Chinese science fiction writer Lin Han was exposed as a ghostwriter and rumored to have falsified sales!”
"The scandal was exposed, Lin Han was suspected of sales fraud, foreign media revealed the truth"
A lot of news broke out all at once, and it seemed that seeing these scandals was the happiest thing for online keyboard warriors. Before the situation was clear, many people had already started to make trouble.
Robin didn't understand why at all. No one in the mainstream media or the moral people who were idle cared about such a big scandal!
It's not the foreign media's turn to question this. Lin Han and Chen Jiaxuan were both confused and couldn't figure out what was going on.
Robin was quite satisfied with the person who took his money, and he didn't even bother to go home. He found a seat in the garden next to the supermarket and sat down, and began to read seriously.
What's more, the readers of this kind of newspaper who create rumors and cause trouble are middle-aged women who love gossip and blind people. This has almost no intersection with Lin Han's readership.
Robin folded the page very excitedly. It seemed that the money was well spent. It would depend on how the rest of the media reacted.
This is just a headline on the front page of the newspaper. The cover picture is a photo of a Hollywood couple breaking up. It would be great to have a headline in the newspaper.
In the blink of an eye, Jason called Robin again and increased the reporter's offer to US$200,000. This move was very skillful.
I spent so much money to get in, and the water didn't even splash.
Chen Jiaxuan's studio has someone specifically responsible for public opinion. They quickly reported the situation and waited for a solution.
"It better be this way."
"No, the National Enquirer has the most influence. 200,000 is 200,000. I will transfer it to you immediately. You should be more alert and don't let me be found out." Robin gritted his teeth. Isn't it just hundreds of thousands of dollars? You can make money back by attending a few more book signings for your new book.
