The first printing of 100,000 copies of "I, Robot" has successfully landed in major bookstores across the country, successfully standing out among the sea of new books. Even without good publicity, it still bursts out with amazing energy.
The further back the people are, the less they have the right to speak. It is undoubtedly very difficult for a one-star writer like Lin Han to advance. The competitors he faces now are all very strong.
Many readers who were casually browsing and not sure about buying the book were attracted by this. After casually picking up the book and looking at the cover and catalog, they were also attracted by the description.

"As long as you understand, your biggest goal now is to become a star writer. You haven't joined the Writers Association yet, right?"
The author of the "Dragon" series is also very powerful. This series of novels alone has sold more than seven million copies. There are also some top fantasy authors such as "Kyushu".
Li Wenyuan is a four-star writer. If he wants to upgrade himself to a five-star writer, he has to sell another two to three million copies of his novels. For ancient gods like Tong Yonglie, who has many books and good sales, it is normal for him to become a diamond-level writer after decades of accumulation.
A two-star writer has a total sales volume between 500,000 and 1 million copies, a three-star writer has a total sales volume of 1-2 million copies, a four-star writer has a total sales volume of 2-5 million copies, and a five-star writer has a total sales volume of more than 5 million copies. . In fact, the author with cumulative sales of 10 million copies is also nicknamed Diamond. This has not been officially recognized, but has only been spread by the media and ordinary readers.
On New Year's Day, under the siege of many best-selling new books, "I, Robot" ranked 9th on the new book sales list with a sales volume of 24,000 copies. This result has made the heads of major bookstores begin to change their thinking.
"The agent is very smart. He made it clear from the beginning that he would only sell simplified Chinese copyrights. Traditional Chinese and English and other expansion channels are counted separately. Besides, our publishing house has no overseas business, so we will not blindly participate in the English version. Just be good to yourself.”
This star writer system is like a guiding light. Top-ranked writers can be contacted by many publishing houses every day, and they can put forward their requests at will, and let the publishing houses act like their grandsons.
"The star writer system is used by the Writers Association to distinguish the levels of writers. They are divided into six levels: zero star, one star to five stars, including but not limited to writers who have joined the Writers Association. This is a statistics on the sales of publications. Once sold, This book is a point, and there are different levels of points for winning different awards.”
A book that sells is a good book. No matter what genre it is, even if it is a science fiction novel, as long as it sells well, it will definitely be given a good position and good publicity.
The author of the "Dragon" series is also very powerful. This series of novels alone has sold more than seven million copies. There are also some top fantasy authors such as "Kyushu".

"Old Liu, the two of us have succeeded. We have finally released a best-selling science fiction novel. Guess how many copies it can sell."
Chen Jiaxuan said very rationally that she knew what Lin Han's goal was, but haste makes waste, so she used the simplified Chinese sales volume as a bargaining chip in her negotiations.
Sales continued to rise, and 30,000 copies were sold on the second day of the new book. Counting those books pre-sold online, the first printing of 100,000 copies has basically been sold out!
"Absolutely no problem, I believe in this book. I really don't know when will I see so many copies of a science fiction novel next time. Mr. Zhao, actually we should strike while the iron is hot and sign the English copyright of this book. Don't you think this novel Can it be translated directly into English? Those foreigners will definitely go crazy about this."
The further back the people are, the less they have the right to speak. It is undoubtedly very difficult for a one-star writer like Lin Han to advance. The competitors he faces now are all very strong.
So on January 2, when many readers entered bookstores across the country, they found that "I, Robot" actually had posters on the walls, and the sales position was also placed in the front.
For Lin Han, writing the original version of the novel in English is probably easier than writing it in Chinese. He only needs to modify the content that is not in line with the times to be consistent with the simplified version. He has even written it before.
The so-called star writer system has simple and crude grading. It is jointly formulated by the National Writers Association and the General Administration of Press and Publication. The points system is updated in real time every day and the writer's level is distinguished according to sales volume and awards. It does not depend on how influential your book is. How much can be sold is a completely commercial approach.
"The agent is very smart. He made it clear from the beginning that he would only sell simplified Chinese copyrights. Traditional Chinese and English and other expansion channels are counted separately. Besides, our publishing house has no overseas business, so we will not blindly participate in the English version. Just be good to yourself.”
Chen Jiaxuan couldn't help but roll her eyes, "You writers can only have official status after being recognized by the National Writers Association. The social status of writers is quite high, at least in the eyes of traditional people, it is better than actors, singers and stars."
"2017 science fiction annual masterpiece", "the highly anticipated science fiction masterpiece", "unprecedented robot laws are eye-catching", "the hope of local science fiction", many names are added to the cover, which makes people who rarely read science fiction novels Readers pulled out their wallets.
Chen Jiaxuan seemed to be a little confused. She simply threw her phone to Lin Han and asked him to check it himself.
Many readers who were casually browsing and not sure about buying the book were attracted by this. After casually picking up the book and looking at the cover and catalog, they were also attracted by the description.
Lin Han took a sip of water and said innocently: "I thought writers just need to write books. How could I know there are so many twists and turns."
"2017 science fiction annual masterpiece", "the highly anticipated science fiction masterpiece", "unprecedented robot laws are eye-catching", "the hope of local science fiction", many names are added to the cover, which makes people who rarely read science fiction novels Readers pulled out their wallets.

Those foreigners will definitely go crazy about this."
Liu Jun came to the boss's office to be lazy now. He leaned back in his chair and raised his eyebrows helplessly: "I really don't know how to predict this. This is not a normal state at all."
At the same time, Lin Han is currently discussing the English version with Chen Jiaxuan. This was originally an English version of the novel, written by Isaac Asimov, a giant in the science fiction world, and the English name is "I, Robot".
Sales continued to rise, and 30,000 copies were sold on the second day of the new book. Counting those books pre-sold online, the first printing of 100,000 copies has basically been sold out!
Li Wenyuan is a four-star writer. If he wants to upgrade himself to a five-star writer, he has to sell another two to three million copies of his novels. For ancient gods like Tong Yonglie, who has many books and good sales, it is normal for him to become a diamond-level writer after decades of accumulation.
"The National Writers Association needs someone to recommend it, and then it can let you join after review. But the prerequisite is that you must be a member of the Municipal Writers Association or the Provincial Writers Association, and you must have published a physical book. The physical book cannot be self-published. Yes. You, a writer, don’t care about the internal affairs of your own industry at all!”
In the Renmin University Publishing House, Zhao Han was holding a teacup and looking at the statistics on the computer with satisfaction. There were voices inside the publishing house saying that he had been shrewd all his life and would be slapped in the face, but now it is not clear who is getting slapped in the face.
Liu Jun became curious at this time, and he asked: "If this agent is so good, why did Lin Han have such a big failure in the first place? Even if I don't go online, I know that he made a big bad movie."
At the same time, Lin Han is currently discussing the English version with Chen Jiaxuan. This was originally an English version of the novel, written by Isaac Asimov, a giant in the science fiction world, and the English name is "I, Robot".
So on January 2, when many readers entered bookstores across the country, they found that "I, Robot" actually had posters on the walls, and the sales position was also placed in the front.
Chen Jiaxuan seemed to be a little confused. She simply threw her phone to Lin Han and asked him to check it himself.
Zhao Han also particularly agreed, "This is a monster. Online pre-sales sold 95,000 physical copies and electronic pre-sales 21,000 copies in one week. If this achievement were placed on other writers, it would definitely hit the national market on the day of its launch." High sales. But Lin Han is not famous, and his novel is not famous either. Now I wonder if we should suffer from the stepped royalties."
On New Year's Day, under the siege of many best-selling new books, "I, Robot" ranked 9th on the new book sales list with a sales volume of 24,000 copies. This result has made the heads of major bookstores begin to change their thinking.
One-star writers are writers who have achieved certain results in publications, with total sales ranging from 100,000 to 500,000 copies. Now Lin Han has successfully raised his level to this level with the sales volume in the two days of New Year's Day and the pre-sales volume on the four major websites. With sales of more than 100,000 copies, he is still an inconspicuous player in the publishing industry.

"You don't have to worry about that. His agent is not a simple agent. I asked about it a little bit before. He is a gold medal agent in the entertainment industry. He can sign movie queens and singers at a young age."
Zhao Han also particularly agreed, "This is a monster. Online pre-sales sold 95,000 physical copies and electronic pre-sales 21,000 copies in one week.

Sporadic writers refer to newcomers who have just been published, with total sales of less than 100,000 copies, such as Lin Han one day ago.
A book that sells is a good book. No matter what genre it is, even if it is a science fiction novel, as long as it sells well, it will definitely be given a good position and good publicity.
"Absolutely no problem, I believe in this book. I really don't know when will I see so many copies of a science fiction novel next time.

The further back the people are, the less they have the right to speak. It is undoubtedly very difficult for a one-star writer like Lin Han to advance. The competitors he faces now are all very strong.
"Mr. Zhao, I don't think you need to worry about sales at all. The more you sell, the better. Aren't sales rising every day? Although the sales in the first week cannot be compared with those of five-star writers, at least they can be compared with those of five-star writers. A good result on the monthly list. Maybe he can also participate in the 2017 annual emerging writer selection. This is his publishing debut. It depends on whether their agent can operate it."

Lin Han nodded and said with a smile: "I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, I understand."
"That's true. The English version depends on whether they will be cheated by foreign publishing houses."
Liu Jun came to the boss's office to be lazy now. He leaned back in his chair and raised his eyebrows helplessly: "I really don't know how to predict this. This is not a normal state at all."

"Don't worry now. If you rush to a publishing house in the United States or other countries, you will definitely get a lower price. They are not as polite as these domestic publishing houses, they are all based on profit. Before we can prove the quality of the novel , let’s wait until the sales status of the simplified version comes out.”
"The star writer system is used by the Writers Association to distinguish the levels of writers.

"Then should I apply to join the National Writers Association? And what about that star writer?"

So on January 2, when many readers entered bookstores across the country, they found that "I, Robot" actually had posters on the walls, and the sales position was also placed in the front.
The first printing of 100,000 copies of "I, Robot" has successfully landed in major bookstores across the country, successfully standing out among the sea of new books. Even without good publicity, it still bursts out with amazing energy.
Zhao Han waved his hand and said, "You can't talk about it. As long as he is writing novels, it is enough. The rest has nothing to do with our publishing house. I have asked the printing factory below to print an additional 200,000 copies and hope to sell them out as soon as possible."

"Writers' Association? No, I haven't joined any association now. I haven't even paid my dues to the Directors Association for a year. I wonder if my membership has been cancelled." Lin Han pouted at himself.
The author of the "Dragon" series is also very powerful. This series of novels alone has sold more than seven million copies. There are also some top fantasy authors such as "Kyushu".
Chen Jiaxuan couldn't help but roll her eyes, "You writers can only have official status after being recognized by the National Writers Association. The social status of writers is quite high, at least in the eyes of traditional people, it is better than actors, singers and stars."

The author of "The Best of Us 2" is already the most popular youth author at the moment. A book can sell millions of copies. Five-star or even diamond-level writers are not a problem at all.
If you only focus on China, it is undoubtedly too short-sighted. Foreign countries are the most suitable cradle for the growth of science fiction novels. Compared with the domestic science fiction novel market that has yet to be developed, science fiction novels in Europe and the United States have entered the industrialization stage. In the business era, it is a big cake that cannot be ignored.
The further back the people are, the less they have the right to speak. It is undoubtedly very difficult for a one-star writer like Lin Han to advance. The competitors he faces now are all very strong.

"Old Liu, the two of us have succeeded. We have finally released a best-selling science fiction novel. Guess how many copies it can sell."
Li Wenyuan is a four-star writer. If he wants to upgrade himself to a five-star writer, he has to sell another two to three million copies of his novels. For ancient gods like Tong Yonglie, who has many books and good sales, it is normal for him to become a diamond-level writer after decades of accumulation.

Compared with the domestic science fiction novel market that has yet to be developed, science fiction novels in Europe and the United States have entered the industrialization stage. In the business era, it is a big cake that cannot be ignored.
"The agent is very smart. He made it clear from the beginning that he would only sell simplified Chinese copyrights. Traditional Chinese and English and other expansion channels are counted separately. Besides, our publishing house has no overseas business, so we will not blindly participate in the English version. Just be good to yourself.”
The first printing of 100,000 copies of "I, Robot" has successfully landed in major bookstores across the country, successfully standing out among the sea of new books. Even without good publicity, it still bursts out with amazing energy.
"Don't worry now. If you rush to a publishing house in the United States or other countries, you will definitely get a lower price. They are not as polite as these domestic publishing houses, they are all based on profit. Before we can prove the quality of the novel , let’s wait until the sales status of the simplified version comes out.”
"As long as you understand, your biggest goal now is to become a star writer. You haven't joined the Writers Association yet, right?"

In the business era, it is a big cake that cannot be ignored.
"You don't have to worry about that. His agent is not a simple agent. I asked about it a little bit before. He is a gold medal agent in the entertainment industry. He can sign movie queens and singers at a young age."
Chen Jiaxuan said very rationally that she knew what Lin Han's goal was, but haste makes waste, so she used the simplified Chinese sales volume as a bargaining chip in her negotiations.
Liu Jun came to the boss's office to be lazy now. He leaned back in his chair and raised his eyebrows helplessly: "I really don't know how to predict this. This is not a normal state at all."
"That's true. The English version depends on whether they will be cheated by foreign publishing houses."
Liu Jun came to the boss's office to be lazy now. He leaned back in his chair and raised his eyebrows helplessly: "I really don't know how to predict this. This is not a normal state at all."
"2017 science fiction annual masterpiece", "the highly anticipated science fiction masterpiece", "unprecedented robot laws are eye-catching", "the hope of local science fiction", many names are added to the cover, which makes people who rarely read science fiction novels Readers pulled out their wallets.
"Old Liu, the two of us have succeeded. We have finally released a best-selling science fiction novel. Guess how many copies it can sell."
A book that sells is a good book. No matter what genre it is, even if it is a science fiction novel, as long as it sells well, it will definitely be given a good position and good publicity.
Lin Han nodded and said with a smile: "I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, I understand."
For Lin Han, writing the original version of the novel in English is probably easier than writing it in Chinese. He only needs to modify the content that is not in line with the times to be consistent with the simplified version. He has even written it before.
The author of "The Best of Us 2" is already the most popular youth author at the moment. A book can sell millions of copies. Five-star or even diamond-level writers are not a problem at all.
"Writers' Association? No, I haven't joined any association now. I haven't even paid my dues to the Directors Association for a year. I wonder if my membership has been cancelled." Lin Han pouted at himself.
At the same time, Lin Han is currently discussing the English version with Chen Jiaxuan. This was originally an English version of the novel, written by Isaac Asimov, a giant in the science fiction world, and the English name is "I, Robot".
Chen Jiaxuan seemed to be a little confused. She simply threw her phone to Lin Han and asked him to check it himself.
The author of the "Dragon" series is also very powerful. This series of novels alone has sold more than seven million copies. There are also some top fantasy authors such as "Kyushu".
"As long as you understand, your biggest goal now is to become a star writer. You haven't joined the Writers Association yet, right?"
Chen Jiaxuan seemed to be a little confused. She simply threw her phone to Lin Han and asked him to check it himself.
A book that sells is a good book. No matter what genre it is, even if it is a science fiction novel, as long as it sells well, it will definitely be given a good position and good publicity.
Li Wenyuan is a four-star writer. If he wants to upgrade himself to a five-star writer, he has to sell another two to three million copies of his novels. For ancient gods like Tong Yonglie, who has many books and good sales, it is normal for him to become a diamond-level writer after decades of accumulation.
Liu Jun came to the boss's office to be lazy now. He leaned back in his chair and raised his eyebrows helplessly: "I really don't know how to predict this. This is not a normal state at all."
The first printing of 100,000 copies of "I, Robot" has successfully landed in major bookstores across the country, successfully standing out among the sea of new books. Even without good publicity, it still bursts out with amazing energy.
Lin Han took a sip of water and said innocently: "I thought writers just need to write books. How could I know there are so many twists and turns."
"Writers' Association? No, I haven't joined any association now. I haven't even paid my dues to the Directors Association for a year. I wonder if my membership has been cancelled." Lin Han pouted at himself.
Liu Jun became curious at this time, and he asked: "If this agent is so good, why did Lin Han have such a big failure in the first place? Even if I don't go online, I know that he made a big bad movie."
The author of "The Best of Us 2" is already the most popular youth author at the moment. A book can sell millions of copies. Five-star or even diamond-level writers are not a problem at all.
The author of "The Best of Us 2" is already the most popular youth author at the moment. A book can sell millions of copies. Five-star or even diamond-level writers are not a problem at all.
"Then should I apply to join the National Writers Association? And what about that star writer?"
Chen Jiaxuan couldn't help but roll her eyes, "You writers can only have official status after being recognized by the National Writers Association. The social status of writers is quite high, at least in the eyes of traditional people, it is better than actors, singers and stars."
The author of "The Best of Us 2" is already the most popular youth author at the moment. A book can sell millions of copies. Five-star or even diamond-level writers are not a problem at all.
A two-star writer has a total sales volume between 500,000 and 1 million copies, a three-star writer has a total sales volume of 1-2 million copies, a four-star writer has a total sales volume of 2-5 million copies, and a five-star writer has a total sales volume of more than 5 million copies. . In fact, the author with cumulative sales of 10 million copies is also nicknamed Diamond. This has not been officially recognized, but has only been spread by the media and ordinary readers.
If you only focus on China, it is undoubtedly too short-sighted. Foreign countries are the most suitable cradle for the growth of science fiction novels.

Lin Han took a sip of water and said innocently: "I thought writers just need to write books. How could I know there are so many twists and turns."
The further back the people are, the less they have the right to speak. It is undoubtedly very difficult for a one-star writer like Lin Han to advance. The competitors he faces now are all very strong.

A two-star writer has a total sales volume between 500,000 and 1 million copies, a three-star writer has a total sales volume of 1-2 million copies, a four-star writer has a total sales volume of 2-5 million copies, and a five-star writer has a total sales volume of more than 5 million copies. .

"Then should I apply to join the National Writers Association? And what about that star writer?"
"Old Liu, the two of us have succeeded. We have finally released a best-selling science fiction novel. Guess how many copies it can sell."
So on January 2, when many readers entered bookstores across the country, they found that "I, Robot" actually had posters on the walls, and the sales position was also placed in the front.
The author of "The Best of Us 2" is already the most popular youth author at the moment. A book can sell millions of copies. Five-star or even diamond-level writers are not a problem at all.
Chen Jiaxuan couldn't help but roll her eyes, "You writers can only have official status after being recognized by the National Writers Association. The social status of writers is quite high, at least in the eyes of traditional people, it is better than actors, singers and stars."
Many readers who were casually browsing and not sure about buying the book were attracted by this. After casually picking up the book and looking at the cover and catalog, they were also attracted by the description.
"As long as you understand, your biggest goal now is to become a star writer. You haven't joined the Writers Association yet, right?"
"The National Writers Association needs someone to recommend it, and then it can let you join after review. But the prerequisite is that you must be a member of the Municipal Writers Association or the Provincial Writers Association, and you must have published a physical book. The physical book cannot be self-published. Yes. You, a writer, don’t care about the internal affairs of your own industry at all!”

Traditional Chinese and English and other expansion channels are counted separately. Besides, our publishing house has no overseas business, so we will not blindly participate in the English version. Just be good to yourself.”
On New Year's Day, under the siege of many best-selling new books, "I, Robot" ranked 9th on the new book sales list with a sales volume of 24,000 copies. This result has made the heads of major bookstores begin to change their thinking.
Lin Han nodded and said with a smile: "I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, I understand."
Sales continued to rise, and 30,000 copies were sold on the second day of the new book. Counting those books pre-sold online, the first printing of 100,000 copies has basically been sold out!
Liu Jun became curious at this time, and he asked: "If this agent is so good, why did Lin Han have such a big failure in the first place? Even if I don't go online, I know that he made a big bad movie."
Lin Han took a sip of water and said innocently: "I thought writers just need to write books. How could I know there are so many twists and turns."

A book that sells is a good book. No matter what genre it is, even if it is a science fiction novel, as long as it sells well, it will definitely be given a good position and good publicity.
"As long as you understand, your biggest goal now is to become a star writer. You haven't joined the Writers Association yet, right?"
"The star writer system is used by the Writers Association to distinguish the levels of writers. They are divided into six levels: zero star, one star to five stars, including but not limited to writers who have joined the Writers Association. This is a statistics on the sales of publications. Once sold, This book is a point, and there are different levels of points for winning different awards.”
"The agent is very smart. He made it clear from the beginning that he would only sell simplified Chinese copyrights. Traditional Chinese and English and other expansion channels are counted separately. Besides, our publishing house has no overseas business, so we will not blindly participate in the English version.

The physical book cannot be self-published. Yes. You, a writer, don’t care about the internal affairs of your own industry at all!”
The so-called star writer system has simple and crude grading. It is jointly formulated by the National Writers Association and the General Administration of Press and Publication. The points system is updated in real time every day and the writer's level is distinguished according to sales volume and awards. It does not depend on how influential your book is. How much can be sold is a completely commercial approach.
"Mr. Zhao, I don't think you need to worry about sales at all. The more you sell, the better. Aren't sales rising every day? Although the sales in the first week cannot be compared with those of five-star writers, at least they can be compared with those of five-star writers. A good result on the monthly list. Maybe he can also participate in the 2017 annual emerging writer selection. This is his publishing debut. It depends on whether their agent can operate it."
Chen Jiaxuan seemed to be a little confused. She simply threw her phone to Lin Han and asked him to check it himself.

One-star writers are writers who have achieved certain results in publications, with total sales ranging from 100,000 to 500,000 copies. Now Lin Han has successfully raised his level to this level with the sales volume in the two days of New Year's Day and the pre-sales volume on the four major websites. With sales of more than 100,000 copies, he is still an inconspicuous player in the publishing industry.

Sporadic writers refer to newcomers who have just been published, with total sales of less than 100,000 copies, such as Lin Han one day ago.

They are not as polite as these domestic publishing houses, they are all based on profit. Before we can prove the quality of the novel , let’s wait until the sales status of the simplified version comes out.”
Zhao Han also particularly agreed, "This is a monster. Online pre-sales sold 95,000 physical copies and electronic pre-sales 21,000 copies in one week. If this achievement were placed on other writers, it would definitely hit the national market on the day of its launch." High sales. But Lin Han is not famous, and his novel is not famous either. Now I wonder if we should suffer from the stepped royalties."

In the Renmin University Publishing House, Zhao Han was holding a teacup and looking at the statistics on the computer with satisfaction. There were voices inside the publishing house saying that he had been shrewd all his life and would be slapped in the face, but now it is not clear who is getting slapped in the face.

This star writer system is like a guiding light. Top-ranked writers can be contacted by many publishing houses every day, and they can put forward their requests at will, and let the publishing houses act like their grandsons.
