"With a huge structure and thick texture, the Shrike and the Time Tombs are like beacons in the fog, mysterious and elusive. Lin Han's six stories describe the Shrike and the Time Tombs from all aspects, but they are not all they are. . After reading six stories, there is too much information in them. This is a magnificent and poetic work, worthy of being a masterpiece, and a poetic space opera!"
Lin Han's income is like the sun, making other writers eclipse. No one cares about how much the second or third place earns. They only see Lin Han's sky-high income!
"Dang Dang Dang, let's do some popular science. This award has been awarded since the 1990s. It has never been awarded to other types of writers for more than 20 years. Teacher Lin is the first!"
These reviews have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and the reputation of "Hyperion" continues to grow.
The highest income in the writer's rich list last year was 59 million yuan. Even if the currency Lin Han earned this year was changed to RMB, he would still be the champion.
Roaring applause is dedicated to this master of prose. This is the reward he deserves!
"I planned to read it before the end of this semester, but after reading four stories, I actually felt that I couldn't bear it. The first four stories all had a kind of panic and uneasiness. The Shrike in the Time Tombs was hidden behind the scenes. Flashes appear from time to time, and the final reversal is sudden and natural. The whole book makes people feel very uneasy. This is a masterpiece, a masterpiece!"
Lin Han's small step now is a giant step for the entire science fiction literature. Many science fiction writers who could not attend the annual meeting couldn't help but get excited at this time. They all forwarded this on Weibo using their own identities. news!
The income that these two films can bring to Lin Han is at least tens of millions of dollars. Even if he does nothing, he will definitely win the top spot on the Rich List of Writers next year!
Tong Haoran has won the Mao Dun Literature Award twice, and his prose has been widely influential. Not only has it been included in Chinese textbooks many times, but the reading comprehension test for the college entrance examination is often based on his articles. He is a cultural person in the true sense.
So after the news of its award spread on the Internet, there was an endless stream of netizens who joined in the congratulations. This is a classic work that they watched with their own eyes. They have never had such a novel experience before!
But these writers' rich lists fully satisfy everyone's curiosity. You can see the earning power of top writers. You can't usually see these incomes, so the entire network attracts a lot of attention!
Chen Jiaxuan did not go to the awards ceremony to join in the fun. She was curled up on the sofa in the villa with an Ali pillow on her chest. She took it for granted that Lin Han could win so many awards.
Everyone focused their attention on the screen, and the first name that appeared was indeed "Lin Han"!
This is actually similar to the previous statistical results of Forbes, except that one uses US dollars and the other uses RMB as the settlement unit. It seems that 510 million is naturally much more impactful than 72 million!
"Speaking of which, your writing has improved a lot. When I was reading "The Three-Body Problem", I thought you were only good at grand descriptions of big scenes, and the characters were a bit flat. But in this book, your writing has improved by leaps and bounds. The characters are all vivid and powerful, and one book has the potential to be as powerful as The Three Body Problem in a series, so we must keep it up in the future.”
At the same time, this also gave hope to writers in other genres. Lin Han pried open a crack, proving that as long as the quality of the novel is good, anything is possible!
Chen Jiaxuan didn't want to admit it. She just liked to see others praising Lin Han, so when the award ceremony was boring, she checked the comments on the Internet and wanted to know what kind of explosive mentality his readers would have!
At this moment, many fans who had read the book simply went to Douban Reading to leave comments. Everyone often forgets about this matter.
As a senior, Tong Haoran rarely said so much to others in one breath. He just didn't want "Hyperion" to go up and down!
What's more, Lin Han's expected income will be even higher next year. A science fiction blockbuster adapted from two of his novels is about to be released. Lin Han, who directly gets the box office dividends, can't be too bad!
She was even a little dissatisfied. She felt that the remaining awards for Best Novella and Best Short Story should also be given. In Chen Jiaxuan's mind, Lin Han was the best. How could four awards be enough
Lin Han originally wanted to say something, but the award presenter just announced the winner of the Best Prose Award. Tong Haoran didn't know how many times he had won the award, so he could only stop.
"A masterpiece! An absolute masterpiece! Highly recommended, one of the greatest science fiction works in history!"
In the Hanlin Academy forum, there is a post dedicated to live broadcast and discussion of this annual writers meeting. They are all happy for Lin Han's success.
Before the results were announced, the writers, reporters and online viewers at the scene already knew that Lin Han was the winner. The only question was how far he could stay away from the second place!
No one knows what kind of struggle the awards committee went through before deciding to give this crucial award to a science fiction novel. Maybe they also wanted to reform themselves.
"It's amazing. It's another small record."
…
"Congratulations to Teacher Lin. The value of this award should be very high. I finally took the first step!"
Everyone knows that Lin Han earned US$72 million last year. This was the number previously announced by Forbes when it counted writers around the world. This number is obviously amazing!
"I haven't bought a physical book for a long time, but after I saw the serialization on Weibo, Teacher Lin did something that other writers couldn't do. After reading this book, I felt that I would be sorry if I didn't buy the physical book. Works. What a great book!”
Tong Haoran, who was sitting next to Lin Han, looked at the trophies placed side by side with some envy. He said, "Hyperion is indeed a good book. We have all read it carefully. What are you doing in time?" Downstream and Countercurrent tells all the known and unknown stories that humans can tell. But I can see that this is probably the first one, and there are many things that have not been told yet."
The previous awards are recognition of Lin Han's popularity, and the latter Best Novel is recognition of his works. Of course, the importance is inconsistent!
Among the 510 million yuan, there are domestic and foreign sales of books, as well as income from various copyrights. Not only has he written many good novels, he is also at the forefront of writers in copyright development.
Two flowers bloom, one on each side.
If other writers heard this, they might vomit blood. Lin Han's face appeared most frequently during the entire awards ceremony. Even Lin Han's die-hard fans cannot deny this.
After all the awards were announced at the Writers Annual Conference, the highlight of the day finally came, which was the announcement of the Rich List of Writers. The media and the audience were actually not interested in these awards because there were quite a few works that they had not seen. .
"So does this cameraman, why don't you give him a few more shots!"
"For the next three parts, I will write carefully and will not resort to serialization so rashly. Teacher Tong, I'm calling you. It's your turn to go on stage to receive the award!"
"It's true. Teacher Lin's previous awards were all in the field of science fiction, but this is the only one in the field of literature. Congratulations!"
Lin Han nodded and explained: "In my plan, "Hyperion" is a four-part series. I hope it can become a classic series like "The Three-Body Problem"!"
In one year, you can get rid of poverty and become rich, and literary works can make a comeback. Such a golden road to wealth will lure many people to join the ranks of writing. As for whether they will be swept away by the big waves, that is not Lin Han's responsibility. Issues to consider.
"Sure enough, Hyperion won the award. It was praised by so many people, and now it finally won a heavyweight award!"
…
"Teacher Lin is really good at writing stories. Reading it is like watching a movie. Through six stories with different styles, the territory of the new world is gradually laid out. These six stories form a larger story, magnificent! "
When did the statistical unit of the Rich List of Writers change to 100 million yuan, and it soared to 500 million yuan? This statistical result made everyone present couldn't help but exclaim.
Lin Han was sitting upright. All the writers in the audience actually knew their own personal income. They just didn't know the income of others, except Lin Han.
"The Martian" has been promoted for so long, and even went to the Venice Film Festival and won two awards. It is not lacking in popularity and will be released worldwide in three days.
And "Jurassic Park" has already done a good job of promoting its summer release. Paramount will release its first trailer during the Super Bowl halftime to start its money-burning journey!
Someone with good intentions added up the income of the nine people at the bottom of the writer's rich list, and found that none of them was as much as Lin Han. His income directly exceeded everyone else's, making many people envious.
The latter number directly blinded everyone's eyes, 510 million yuan!
"Perhaps everyone already knows who the winner of this year's Rich Writers List is, but we still have to announce them one by one. You can check the complete list on the official website of the General Administration of Press and Publication, please look at the big screen."
