Syad is the editor of one of the more well-known science fiction newspapers in Wubang.
My job on weekdays is to constantly review manuscripts, and then select some of the better science fiction novels to be serialized in newspapers or magazines.
Of course, it also includes the work of writing some book reviews, which is mainly for the reader.
It's like a list of recommended books.
Because of his serious attitude and love for science fiction, he can basically tell the truth, which has won the favor of many readers.
Although the newspaper and magazine industry has gradually declined, this science fiction newspaper still has many loyal fans.
Anyway, in their opinion, it doesn't cost much to buy a newspaper.
And it has become a habit, almost unwilling to change, so this science fiction newspaper has survived.
This situation also makes the science fiction newspaper more serious and rigorous, because the content of the newspaper is related to everyone's jobs.
On this day, Syad received an assignment to write a testimonial for a novel.
He asked what the book was, and his boss told him that the book was still in the publicity stage, but it would be released soon.
At present, there are only two samples in the newspaper.
One of them was given to Syad and he was asked to write an excellent recommendation and review within two days.
Syad was unhappy with this.
What does it mean to write a good recommendation and book review, doesn't this mean that he keeps boasting?
He hadn't even read the book and was completely reluctant to give any evaluation.
And he has always insisted on being serious and rigorous, and he can't fool readers, otherwise everyone's jobs will end up.
Whether it's because of his love for sci-fi or his concern for his job, he wants to turn down the task.
However, his request was denied.
His boss told him that it was because readers believed in you that we chose you to write.
And the sales of this book in Xia Guo are very good, which shows that there will basically be no problems in terms of quality, so I boldly praise it.
But as soon as he heard that this book was written by a writer from the Xia Kingdom, Siyad had a headache even more.
Who does not know that the level of science fiction there is at least ten years behind.
It's just old-fashioned junk food.
But Siad couldn't refuse his boss's request twice, so he could only pinch his nose to look.
At first, he didn't care, thinking that the opening was just that.
It's all about contacting aliens, and then it's the aliens coming to the blue star.
"This was the routine of 20 years ago. "And I'm still reading this old book......
He complained and watched.
Gradually, his complaining voice became quieter.
The demeanor is also more serious.
"Chain of suspicion?"
"Technology explosion!"
"Project Blackfield?"
"Dark Forest Theory?!"
“......"
The more he looked, the more surprised he became.
"This is actually the level of science fiction in Xia Kingdom? Have they already made such a big breakthrough, I don't know how ......?"
He pressed his ears hard with his hand, which was his habit.
Whenever I am very surprised, I will make this kind of small action.
"Wait!
"That's the end of this novel, what about the future?"
Just when I was seeing the excitement, the novel suddenly disappeared, and it was really disgusting that people arrived home!
Syad flipped back to the cover.
Upper portion!
"Bang!" (read the violent novel, go to the Feilu Novel Network!)
Syad slapped the table hard.
"What are those translators doing for food, why are there only the upper part?"
"Even if you don't finish the whole book, you can send the rest of the content first!"
He was speechless.
Although he also knew that his ideas were unrealistic. []
For the publishing house of Wubang, the upper part is not only because the later content has not been written or translated, but more importantly, it is necessary to use the upper part to test the water first.
See how the market reacts.
If the feedback from readers is good, then the next part will definitely be published urgently.
"Although I haven't read the whole novel, even if there is only the previous part, the book "The Three-Body Problem" is definitely a masterpiece. "
"It's much better to write testimonials this way, at least without deceiving the reader......"
Syad took a sip of coffee and breathed a sigh of relief.
Putting down the hot coffee, he picked up a pen and wrote a draft of the testimonial:
"Most of today's science fiction has become a space drama, which can be called science fiction junk food.
Although they all think they are unhealthy, everyone still has nothing to eat, so they make do with them.
But the book "The Three-Body Problem" is by far the best science fiction novel I've ever seen, it's simply a science fiction in-depth tour!
Although his author is a Xia native named Bai Ya, I can assure readers that "The Three-Body Problem" is definitely one of the highest peaks of science fiction in the world.
After reading Bai Ya's work, I have no doubt that this person single-handedly raised the science fiction literature of the Xia Kingdom to a world-class level......"
Writing and revising, Syad handed in the recommendation two days later.
After reading it, his boss was very satisfied, and thought that Siyad was not such a person who did not know how to be flexible.
But he didn't know that his expression was really disgusted in the eyes of Syad.
"My recommendation is not to complete the task, but to really think the novel is good......"
"Well, it's completely ineffective to say such things to such a boss like such a stupid pig!"
Syad was dissatisfied, but it didn't matter to his superiors.
Three days later, the new issue of newspapers and magazines was in the hands of readers.
At the same time, other publicity channels have also begun to exert force, and some science fiction fans in White Eagle State, Wu State and other places know that a work known as "the pinnacle of science fiction in Xia Kingdom" is about to be released.
Although they didn't think it was a good work, they were a little curious.
After all, whether it is newspapers, magazines or some pushes on the Internet, they are praising this book, believing that it is not only the pinnacle of science fiction in Xia Kingdom, but also a very good batch in the field of science fiction in the world.
So a week later, "The Three-Body Problem" was officially released.
In just two days, the first printing of 40,000 copies was sold out!
Ten urgent reprints in half a month!
And when the reporter went to interview those readers, the unified answer of the readers was:
"Who the hell is the translator, what the hell, hurry up and translate the lower part!".
