As amateurs, both of them were pretty good with their shots, at least they didn't miss the target very much. Of course, hitting the red heart was all down to luck.
After Lin Han turned off the video, he couldn't help but sigh. They were responsible for all this, and no one else was to blame. It is said that if you don’t break, you don’t build. You must break first and then build. I hope that after this lesson, other award ceremonies will also be shocked.
After Lin Han watched Chen Jiaxuan leave, he couldn't help but walk to the balcony and take a deep breath. Two of the delicate succulents had withered because no one had taken care of them because they had been traveling a few days ago.
Watching the movie lasted two hours, and the morning passed quickly, and Lin Han also learned something. Although there was an earthquake in the literary world, Lin Han was not ready to be an otaku. He picked up his bow and arrow and headed to the archery hall.
Considered a master among amateur players, this can mobilize the muscles of the whole body better than running. After two rounds of shooting, Lin Han found someone next to him watching him.
And strictly speaking, "Flowers for Algernon" only went on sale at 3 p.m., and no copy was sold for so long. This result is even more shocking!
Could it be related to his new book? Lin Han really couldn't think of any surprises that News Network could give him!
Nowadays, science fiction has entered the mainstream industry, and the readers and media who pay attention to it are no longer the same as before. It is so embarrassing that they don’t even dare to go online!
"I don't know if things will work out yet. Just take a good rest, read a book and listen to music. Don't be too nervous."
"Today, the Ministry of Culture held a symposium for literary and art workers. During the meeting, Vice Minister Chen Lianghai made a speech on the inspection and rectification situation. Chen Lianghai started from the beginning with literary and artistic creations and pointed out that there are too many literary and art awards. Damn, there are hidden operations, exchange of interests, etc. in the awards. It is proposed to adhere to the correct orientation and comprehensively carry out the clean-up and rectification work of the literary and art awards."
The Internet was very lively tonight. The literary and artistic award ceremonies, including the Galaxy Award and Hundred Flowers Award, were dragged out one by one and whipped to death. The rounds were repeated over and over again. Those celebrities or writers who won awards for their shady activities were also dug out again. .
In a sport like archery, you need to find an opponent to feel the tension and excitement. The gap between links is a psychological battle.
"Don't talk too early. It's not certain who will win."
After all, he had always advertised that he was going to the awards ceremony, but ended up falling out with him at the last moment. Many readers didn’t know this at all. They rushed to Chengdu from all directions with high expectations, only to find that they were participating in a shady event. award ceremony.
After returning home, Lin Han collapsed on the sofa like mud. He didn't even have the mood to stand up. Today can be said to be extremely long and tiring, both physically and mentally.
"Teacher Lin, we have sold nearly 30,000 copies of novels today. This is not only a single-day record for our library building, but also a national record. It is the highest single-day sales volume in a bookstore! Congratulations."
On TV, Luo Jing recounted the news in extremely standard Mandarin, and Lin Han was almost dumbfounded. He had a hunch that this was a surprise given to him by Chen Jiaxuan!
"What on earth have you prepared to be on the news network?" Lin Han's eyes widened. This is the most watched TV program in the country, and many satellite TVs have to broadcast these thirty minutes.
Chen Jiaxuan glanced at Lin Han, "I have to go home today and give you a surprise tonight."
"This is indeed the case in your gaming industry. It's normal to work overtime until the early hours of the morning. You should be careful. Now that we have met, let's compete in two games?"
However, Chen Jiaxuan smiled mysteriously, "You'll know after you see it. I'll be back around eight o'clock."
There has never been any awards show so embarrassing as this one. For the first time, Tao Hu, Gao Fei, and Tong Yonglie felt that it would be great if science fiction was just a small circle, and such shame would only be in a small circle.
Lin Han also put away his bow and arrows. They met here last time and finally finalized the "Mars" mobile game. The past is still vivid in his mind, but the game has already become a hot seller around the world.
Whenever someone wins an award, the huge boos are clearly audible, not to mention that there are readers shouting Lin Han's name, and there is an endless stream of people leaving the stage, which makes Lin Han feel a little guilty.
…
Chen Jiaxuan sat next to Lin Han with her legs bent, and gently massaged his head and temples with her thin fingers. The gentle force made him close his eyes and enjoy it comfortably.
The cashiers worked two shifts. They even opened two special charging windows for Lin Han's "Flowers for Algernon". They came directly to the counter to pay for the book and then left.
Lin Han kept rubbing his wrist after taking a sip of water. Even when he heard this number, he was only slightly surprised, "Is 30,000 a lot?"
He didn't quite understand the concept. It was only 30,000 copies, which was insignificant compared to the millions of total sales.
The staff at the Beijing Book Building also explained, "It's still a bit abstract. I'll list some numbers for Teacher Lin. Didn't your previous novels, "Three-Body 2" and "Three-Body 3", just be released? How long? Our daily sales in the first two days were more than 300 copies. Do you think 30,000 copies sold today is too much?"
Fu Zhan readily agreed, "Whoever loses will treat me to dinner. I can have a big meal today!"
Fu Zhan pointed to the rest area next to him, "Recently, I have been fully committed to large-scale action mobile games. The game "World Destroyer Dragon" has high hopes, and everyone is counting on it! I also work overtime every day, and only then did I think of coming here to exercise. one time."
Chen Jiaxuan was full of energy when talking about this gossip. She used her iPad to pull out today's Tencent Video recording resources and said: "Hahahaha, the Galaxy Awards today can be said to be disgraced. Look at these award recipients, Everyone's face was ashen, as if what they got was not an honor at all, but a hot potato."
As night falls, the number of consumers in the Xidan Book Building still shows no downward trend. After the 20,000 books in stock are sold out, the books that have just been pulled off the production line of the printing factory are still smelling of fresh ink.
In the first few dozen minutes, Lin Han announced the shady story there. As a result, they gave the award to Lin Han. In the end, the whole audience was almost shouting. The staff arranged by the organizing committee quickly came to the stage to collect the trophy and acted as a camera. When the members of the organizing committee passed by, almost everyone in that group looked disgraced.
This should be regarded as excellent news. Lin Han couldn't help but grin. Although he decided to donate domestic publishing royalties to Forrest Gump Restaurant to promote it nationwide, the better the sales of the novel, the greater the audience. Everyone is paying more attention to this matter.
Nowadays, it is said that it is the twilight of print media, but such terrible sales have happened. It is not that people don’t read books anymore, but that people’s horizons have become higher and they don’t buy all books.
At this juncture, no one would believe it if it had nothing to do with Lin Han and the Galaxy Award. Exposing the inside story of the Galaxy Awards was like a fuse, completely detonating netizens' doubts and exacerbating the crisis of trust!
For true book lovers, the novel is the most important thing, and the author is only second!
After being calculated like this, Lin Han suddenly realized it. He took a breath and said, "Did I sign so many books today?"
After a person bought vegetables in the fresh food section of the supermarket and came back to cook, the time quietly came to seven o'clock in the evening. When a familiar melody sounded from the TV, the daily "Xinwen Lianbo" came as scheduled.
The next day, Lin Han went out for a run early in the morning to exercise. When he came back carrying breakfast, sweating profusely, Chen Jiaxuan got up lazily. The two had another big fight last night.
The media is not only reporting these things, but also reporting on the popularity of Lin Han's autograph signing. That single-day sales record is almost impossible to break. With so many bookstores across the country, who has the confidence to say that he can hold out a book that will sell for three years? Ten thousand volumes of works
"What surprise can't you tell me now?"
His wrists were extremely sore, and the originally planned two-hour signing time continued to extend. Lin Han now felt that he should go for acupuncture or massage.
"The soy milk this morning tastes good. Isn't it the one I usually buy from?" Chen Jiaxuan walked out wearing a nightgown, while Lin Han took a quick shower and started eating breakfast topless.
"When I was running, I noticed that there were a lot of people buying breakfast from this restaurant. I thought it would taste better, so I bought some when I came back. What are your plans today?"
Such a move also made the audience applaud. The Ministry of Culture, which has always been criticized, finally did something good!
Lin Han snorted and adjusted to a comfortable posture, "Of course, since we are all at odds, it's useless even if they come to beg me to go back or say good things to me. By the way, you know what's going on over there at the Galaxy Awards today? Yet?"
Deputy General Manager Zhao Han from Renmin University Publishing House also came to the scene. After hearing Lin Han's answer, he couldn't help but shrugged: "Teacher Lin, if a bookstore can sell more than a hundred books a day, it can be called a bookstore." It’s a bestseller. Don’t look at the total sales volume now, but they are all collected from thousands of bookstores scattered across the country, and they are not the sales results in one day, 365 in a year. Trina sold millions of copies.”
In the end, Lin Han won the game with a 3-ring advantage, but the opportunity to treat him to dinner was interrupted. Fu Zhan had to rush back to test the mobile game. It seemed that several fatal bugs had appeared, and the dinner was also interrupted. Oweed.
After the two people found adjacent empty target positions, they began to compete under the instructions of the coach, and the electronic display on one side began to report the target accurately.
Because the line of people waiting for autographs was too long, many readers found it difficult to wait, so they stood and looked at it from a distance, or took a few photos.
I don’t know what’s going on with the organizing committee of the award ceremony, whether they want to silence Lin Han or ease the concerns between them. The final winner of the Galaxy Award for Best Novel is the “Three-Body” series!
"Teacher Lin, what a coincidence, I met you here."
"Many awards have become bargaining chips for profit transfer, and award evaluations have become artistic corruption. All this not only deviates from the origin of art, but also makes the awards lose credibility and harms the soil for literary and artistic creation. The rectification opinions proposed by the Ministry of Culture clearly stated, The original various national awards of the Ministry of Culture will be reduced by more than 60%."
Turning over and sitting up, Lin Han had been busy with book signings today and had no time to pay attention to these. Now he saw the embarrassed expressions of the familiar science fiction writers in the video, and suddenly burst into laughter. Worried and exhausted, Sweep it away!
Fu Zhan from Xingyue Games stood here calmly and waved to Lin Han.
No matter what the award, it is under the control of the Ministry of Culture. Now the second-in-command there has made a speech directly on this phenomenon and demanded that the literary and art awards be cleaned up. This is a top-down reform!
At this time, Lin Han's cell phone rang, and Chen Jiaxuan's voice came out, "Dear, are you at home? If you are at home, just turn on the TV and watch the news broadcast. There is today's surprise."
"Mr. Fu, long time no see. What have you been busy with recently?" Lin Han asked casually. He was not planning to inquire about information, but was caring as a friend.
After hanging up the phone, Lin Han sat on the sofa and stared at the TV screen intently, as if he wanted to see through it.
After taking care of these things, Lin Han turned on the home theater and began to enjoy the movies he had never seen. It was not limited to science fiction movies. The differences between the two worlds were also reflected in the movies.
…
"You probably signed one-tenth. Your readers felt so sorry for you later. Many of them bought the book directly and left. This book should be quite popular. Most of them signed five-tenths of it directly. Buy five copies."
Now that the Ministry of Culture has intervened, no matter whether it is the Mao Dun Literature Award, the Poetry Award, the Galaxy Award, or the Hundred Flowers Award, almost everyone is in danger, and no one dares to say that he is innocent.
"The matter has finally been resolved, but don't be too merciful. If you hit a snake, you have to hit it seven inches, otherwise it will come back to bite you in the future." Chen Jiaxuan spoke softly, she had already made a decision in her heart.
Now Lin Han has to carefully take care of the remaining pots so that they can grow vigorously.
