With the development of the times, only a few writers still insist on writing by hand, which is very troublesome, time-consuming, and inconvenient to revise.
After Lin Han heard the sound, he quickly rinsed the foam off his hands, then took out a paper towel and dried it before returning to the living room. He sat next to Chen Jiaxuan, turned his head and took a look, and found that this mobile game was not only in the new game download rankings, but also rose to eighth place in the paid downloads list in China!
In fact, "The Martian" is a very strange game. It does not have the fighting scenes, action special effects, etc. of conventional mobile games. The game interface is just a dialog box, and the person who talks directly to the player is a Mars exploration astronaut named Li Yunfan.
Copying books is only the initial method. Continuous progress and constant revision of the regrets in those works are the goals Lin Han pursues.
The gameplay is very simple, that is, the player helps Li Yunfan make some judgments. If the judgment is correct, then Li Yunfan can survive on Mars for a few more days and be one step closer to being rescued; if the player makes a wrong choice, then Li Yunfan will die. , then the game ends and starts again!
In the field of smartphone systems, Android system undoubtedly leads the way with 70%, iOS system ranks second with 20%, Windows only has 9%, and the rest only have about 1%.
When Lin Han opened the study and walked out, he happened to find Chen Jiaxuan holding fish food next to the fish tank. Her homely dress looked a little less gorgeous and more gentle.
As for the complete set of "The Three-Body Problem", the sales volume is a little lower. Many people bought the three books separately, so the sales volume in a month is less than two million copies, but the sales volume is higher than that of the individual books.
Therefore, when many media took stock of hot books and hot words last month, "Three-Body Problem" became an unavoidable term. It is so popular that it has become a trend. If you don't read Three-Body Problem in schools, you will be left behind. , it is also very common to talk about the plot of the Three-Body Problem in the office, and its national popularity far exceeds that of Lin Han's other novels.
Many readers originally wanted to browse the normal posts, but were shocked by this posture. No one called them to play mobile games. This was just an accident.
Thanks to such large sales and overwhelming reputation, even "The Three-Body Problem" has rebounded from the 70th or 80th place on the sales list to the top 30. It has been nearly half a year since its release, and it can still return to such a high position. , it seems that there are still many new readers joining in a steady stream!
In other words, the clever time setting in the game allows players to use fragmented time to play games. This method is in line with the mainstream of public life.
After all this hard work, he only wrote four to five thousand words every day, which was still faster than he expected.
Lin Han has made great progress. He has not stood still. From the time when he directly copied epoch-making works such as "I, Robot", to now he can completely revise "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy". His progress is very great. obvious.
Chen Jiaxuan patted Lin Han's hand and said, "Go and wash your hands and get ready to eat. It doesn't matter if you write a novel for a while. You haven't given yourself a holiday during the Spring Festival."
The sales of "Three-Body 2: Dark Forest" in the first month alone, including pre-sales, have reached 3.8 million copies. This is only the sales of physical books. Amazon’s Kindle e-books and Douban Reading combined have a sales volume of 2.4 million.
If Lin Han didn't write a new book, she would want to drag Lin Han to travel to Australia or New Zealand, visit the famous Golden Ranch, and taste top-quality beef and wine.
If he has always positioned himself as a porter, then there is no need for him to be serious with himself now.
It is true that this mobile game is very strange and most players have never seen it. However, the lightweight operation can make players feel thrilling when choosing. It can be said that novelty is the huge selling point of "The Martian".
The sales of "The Martian" on Apple are gratifying, and there are also good news on Android. Android phones have many more users than Apple phones, and they are almost not even in the same order of magnitude.
But judging from the week that just ended, the sales ranking of "Death Eternal Life" has risen to fourth place on the weekly list, while "Dark Forest" has dropped to eighth place on the weekly list, so "Death Eternal Life" in February will definitely be Keep up the good work and try to catch up with the two in front.
But will novelty alone propel The Martian to the top of the charts in such a short period of time? After all, Lin Han's readers are limited. Such a super IP can indeed attract many readers or passers-by to watch, but whether it can maintain it depends on the quality of the game.
"Has anyone downloaded the game "The Martian"? I think the page, music and sound effects are very good, and the voice actor made me think it was real!"
It is said that teaching should be adapted to local conditions and students' aptitude. Now Lin Han has changed the outdated things in the novel and things that are not in line with the reading habits of domestic readers to take care of more readers. His goal is to let readers read this book. You will laugh like watching a sketch or a cross talk show.
As the Spring Festival approaches, when night falls, there seem to be fewer lights on in the community. Many people who buy or rent houses in Beijing return to their hometowns to celebrate the festival.
After making so much money in one go, Lin Han felt a lot more relaxed. Readers' liking is the only serious thing.
The sound of typing on the keyboard kept ringing. Lin Han wrote a long paragraph and then stopped. After reading it repeatedly, he deleted part of it and then started writing again.
Everything is just a if. Chen Jiaxuan staying at home now shows everything. Plans are always just plans.
The price of five yuan is actually not expensive. Many games are sold for more than ten or twenty yuan, and some are even billed directly in US dollars. The low price has a strong appeal to consumers.
Although it is hard work, it is fun!
Whether you are a world-renowned writer or an ordinary online author, writing a book requires repeated revisions. Any good book is made through revisions. If you want to write it perfectly in one go, it is more difficult than reaching the sky.
"This is a conscientious mobile game, and it is 10,000 times better than those mobile game masterpieces adapted from novels that cheat money!"
"Of course, I'm looking forward to your craftsmanship." Lin Han walked up behind Chen Jiaxuan, then hugged her slim waist, lowered his head and kissed her lightly made-up cheek, with no other thoughts in his mind.
…
"Absolutely worth the money. The game can still be played like this. I thought it was rubbish!"
The plot of the novel has not changed much. Previously, the text in his mind was a translated version full of translation style. Anyone with a discerning eye can tell at a glance that it is mostly a translated text.
However, although the Android mobile phone system leads the way, due to the large number of brands, the official downloads of game software are not uniform. Although they are all charged, the sales lists are also significantly different.
It costs money to download the game. How can a passerby who doesn’t understand why he spends five yuan to buy it just by looking at the introduction? Publicity is crucial!
"Sweet, I forgot it was released today. Has anyone played it? Is the game fun? Is it worth the five yuan?"
"Please help me, please help me. Little Transparent died during the operation. What should I do? Shouldn't I give an anesthesia injection first and then perform the operation on myself? This is what is written in Lin Han's novel, so I will just do it. died!"
"Dear, come out and take a look. The game "The Martian" is actually on the download ranking list. It seems that it was just released today. It has shot up so quickly!"
It is really incredible that such a game has rushed to the top of the paid list. It can be said that it has made a qualitative leap!
Writing has never been an easy task. It is a person's carnival, the sound of typing on the keyboard in a quiet study room in the dead of night.
That night, "The Martian", a mobile game with an investment of less than 10 million yuan, officially topped the Apple Store. Compared with other mobile games that cost huge amounts of money, this 10 million yuan is nothing.
Chen Jiaxuan smiled, clicked to download and purchase, and then said: "I will also contribute. The introduction said that it should be more convenient to play this game with an Apple watch."
This is undoubtedly a huge challenge and there is nothing easy about it.
Chen Jiaxuan lay on the sofa contentedly. She turned on the TV to make the room less quiet. She dragged a small blanket over her body and took out her mobile phone to download some fun games to pass the time.
The number of downloads of this new mobile phone has increased steadily, most of which are supported by Lin Han's readers. The novel of the same name is selling well all over the world, and the game has also aroused people's appetite. People who are on vacation have time to play games, even if they spend five yuan. download!
But the ant defeated the elephant, and the loser also had a counterattack. In 27 hours, he dominated the paid download list of the Apple Store in China!
Not only here, but also on the Hanlin Academy Forum, Weibo, and the post bars and book review areas of Lin Han’s other novels are also full of discussions. There are endless posts asking for tips and advice from masters!
This can be said to be a very remarkable achievement. A mere text adventure game can occupy such a high position, and it was on the first day of release, less than 24 hours!
"Have you disinfected it first? Where's the local anesthesia? Where's the hemostatic needle? I died here before, but I asked a relative who was a doctor to pass it. This seems to be like a real-life surgery. It's very real!"
Chen Jiaxuan moved the cushion and opened the APP-store on her iPhone to check what games were available recently. After looking around on the featured recommendation page and finding nothing she wanted, she clicked on the download ranking list and then ate it all. Surprised!
"Damn it, if you look at the top players on Weibo, they are chopping melons and vegetables all the way to planting potatoes. A top student is a top student!"
"Really, I thought this kind of game wouldn't be popular with too many people." Lin Han murmured to himself. He liked this game very much, but it didn't mean that the players also liked it.
In other words, Lin Han's novel sales revenue in January will exceed 10 million yuan, not counting the sales of other novels and other overseas markets. This earning power is one of the best in the field of writers!
How many words can you write by hand in a day? Anyway, Lin Han felt that he was definitely not suitable for that kind of writing method. His wrists felt very tired just signing autographs for others, let alone writing continuously.
His goal is to digest this book and revise it in his own language and writing style full of Eastern humor. Perhaps this book will be completely different after it is written, and it will be completely different from the "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" on Earth!
In less than 24 hours, the "Mars" forum has become a sea of game discussion. Many people have just started playing and have already died several times. Everyone hurriedly got together to exchange experiences.
After her artist was shot for appearing on the Spring Festival Gala, he simply went home to celebrate the New Year. Almost the entire studio was on holiday. Basically, there were no major problems, and even if they were, they could be solved remotely.
"The Martian" is almost universally available through all channels, ranking firmly in the top ten in all major official markets, and sprinting towards the top three or even first place!
As for "Three-Body 3: Death Eternal", it developed relatively slowly and did not start to increase sales on a large scale until the end of January. It is estimated that readers have finished reading the first two parts, so the physical book sales in January were only 2.3 million copies.
The performance of "The Martian" released in both Chinese and English versions is slightly weaker abroad, but no one cares because Starleap Games has not done any publicity abroad at all. The fact that so many players paid to download it is all because of the book. For name's sake.
After eating the dinner cooked by Chen Jiaxuan, Lin Han took the initiative to take on the responsibility of washing the dishes. He could earn hundreds or thousands of dollars just by tapping the keyboard with his fingers. But this warm home feeling can be bought for any amount of money. less than.
"It's so fun. No wonder even Lin Han himself died so many times before he could pass the level. I've seen it."
"I just said that I would call you to eat after feeding the fish, but you came out on your own. This afternoon I studied how to make Italian seafood baked rice at home, and I also made some cookies in the oven. Do you want to try it? "
"The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" is a wonderful science fiction novel, but it does not seem to be close to Chinese readers. Lin Han's mission is to retain the excitement of the novel while allowing more readers to accept and love it!
Now the last two parts of "The Three-Body Problem" are still selling like hotcakes. Even though they have been on sale for a whole month, they are still on the major sales lists!
Of course, price is only a small aspect that triggers sales, because the explosion of a mobile game will definitely not work if it does not have outstanding quality. The gameplay of "The Martian" is novel and unique, and it does not take up the entire player's time.
