Lin Han silently made up his mind that this was probably his last interaction with "Science Fiction World".
However, they didn't realize the difference between Lin Han and those people. Lin Han's popularity was by no means false. He could kill everyone domestically and internationally and was not restricted by a magazine at all.
"It's really unreasonable! At first, we each got what we needed. He became famous and made money, and the sales of our magazine also increased. How come he is the only one who profits now?"
"I also know that this is a bit difficult, but you have to try. If you don't break out in silence, you will perish in silence! So I would like to ask you to publish a piece of work in our magazine, whether it is a long or short story, as long as it is a new work That’s it.”
"Are you trying to please him by talking to him like this? After our magazine collapses, you can justifiably switch jobs and work at Fantasy Age?" Zhang Zhenfeng sneered. He probably wanted to break the pot. "I really said that. Who asked him to publish his novel when he was scolded the most? If it weren't for our magazine, he, Lin Han, would still be the lousy movie that was scolded so bloody How can a director be like now, becoming a master of science fiction and even going to the Oscars for a walk?"
Instead, Lin Han used his novels to bring readers and other authors together, making the sales of "Age of Fantasy" more stable now.
After all, the influence is greater. After the serialization of "Fantasy Age", it will be easier to be noticed by the publisher. At the same time, the royalties will be higher. Who wouldn't want to come here if they can get more money
At this time, Lin Han called Tan Lin, the editor-in-chief of "Fantasy Times" magazine, and he wanted to ask for his opinion.
"The thing is like this. Sci-fi World just called me and wanted me to publish a novel there to save sales. What do you think I should do? Should I go?"
After hanging up the phone, everyone in the editorial department looked at Chen Chuhe, and Wang Yifan, his direct descendant who was brought over by him, asked the question that everyone wanted to know the most.
Lin Han had a headache when he thought about this aspect. Chen Chuhe and Wang Yifan had to repay the favor, but "Fantasy Age" had its own shares, so he went to snipe his own magazine. What was this
This is probably because the person in charge of the editorial department was too arrogant at the time. They felt that it would be over if the writers left their platform. Before Lin Han, there were writers who had fallen out with them, but they did not achieve anything famous. Instead, they made themselves divinity. Damaged and ended in embarrassment!
…
"Science Fiction World" is equivalent to playing a good hand into a bad one. It is not surprising that it will go from an industry leader to an obsolete within a few years.
But it was impossible for him to say this in front of Lin Han. Tan Lin simply replied: "It is indeed difficult in the science fiction world now. It is said that it is divided into two factions fighting. Chen Chuhe wanted to reform, but he was promoted to deputy editor not long ago. You can't do anything if you make a slight comment! There are many other die-hards, and they just want to stick to their laurels. Even if you publish a novel, it won't affect our overall situation."
"No problem, think about it carefully." Chen Chuhe was not aggressive. He only used favors once and then once. Unless it was a last resort, he didn't want to ask Lin Han for help.
Lin Han also heard Chen Chuhe's determination. He immediately had an idea, "Logically, I want to agree to you right away, but the impact of this matter is quite big. I have to discuss it. How about I call you and reply in ten minutes?" ?”
Closer to home, after listening to Chen Chuhe's words, Lin Han was filled with sadness and replied: "Then what can I do? This decline cannot be reversed by me alone. I am just an ordinary writer, not a god or God. "
"They say that family scandals should not be publicized, but we really have no choice." Chen Chuhe felt that the editorial department was really a mess. "Three years ago, our magazine was a best-seller with a monthly sales of one million, but now it is even selling three million a month." One hundred thousand copies cannot be guaranteed. If this continues, this magazine will disappear!"
The genres of the two magazines are somewhat similar, and the degree of overlap is quite high. However, "Fantasy Age" is inclusive. In addition to science fiction, it also serializes fantasy, fantasy, and magic novels.
An editor wearing glasses said angrily. He looked very angry, and the angry look on his face seemed as if Lin Han had really done something outrageous.
Hearing this, Tan Lin felt a little gloating. When "Fantasy Age" had just resumed publication, "Science Fiction World", a best-selling magazine with a monthly sales of millions, came to attack him. Now he simply deserves this end.
This is only secondary. The most important thing is the rise of "Fantasy Age". This magazine has taken away too many readers who originally belonged to "Science Fiction World"!
Tan Lin didn't expect Lin Han's tone, "Then you say it, I'll listen!"
His heart felt a little cold. He was really ashamed to be with this group of people. With Lin Han's strength here, even if there was no science fiction world, there would be another magazine, but it would only be a few months later at most.
"Master, how's it going? Did he agree?"
It has been a long time since he published his work in "Fantasy Age", but the magazine's sales have not declined and it already has regular readers!
Chen Chuhe frowned. He didn't hesitate and said directly, "Zhang Zhenfeng, you'd better pay attention. Lin Han doesn't owe us anything. His willingness to help is a matter of love, and not helping is a duty. The word ungrateful is still It’s no use to him!”
The sales of the magazine are deteriorating. Instead of seeking measures to solve the problem, these people blame Lin Han for the reason and start complaining!
…
"Does that mean I can go? Let me publish a short story!"
Lin Han did not expect that his old club would be in such misery. Stimulated by his series of short stories and novels, "Science Fiction World" had achieved brilliant monthly sales.
Chen Chuhe looked here, shrugged and said, "I don't know yet. I'll understand in ten minutes."
"Old Tan, are you busy right now? I have something urgent that I want you to think about, and you have to help me."
"This Lin Han is so ungrateful. Our magazine obviously discovered him and made him famous. But after he became popular, he drew a clear line with us. It's really not a thing!"
If you count, Wang Yifan was the first to see Lin Han's work. At that time, he was just an intern, but he has long since become a full-time employee.
Chen Chuhe looked at the people in the editorial department with some disappointment. None of those people stood up to speak out for Lin Han. They probably had the same idea as Zhang Zhenfeng and felt that Lin Han's success was inseparable from their help.
But later "Science Fiction World" fell out with Lin Han and could no longer obtain the right to publish any of Lin Han's works.
However, since the two great masters in the science fiction field are the bosses, the science fiction section of "Fantasy Age" is much more special. Not only do readers trust it, but even science fiction authors are willing to submit their manuscripts here!
