Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. ”

Huo Yaowen said: "Actually, today, like everyone else, I came to participate in this Asian Literature and Culture Exchange Conference with a learning attitude, but due to various reasons, President Li asked me to temporarily come to the stage to tell you... To be honest, I've been in the dark about what I'm going to say. ”

"Haha..."

As soon as these words came out, the students at the scene laughed.

"I had already thought about what to say, but I just listened to some of the seniors who gave the previous speeches, and I decided not to make a fool of myself. But I have already promised President Li and come to the stage again, I have to say something, otherwise it will not be easy to make a difference, so I will briefly talk about the field I am good at, science fiction, a branch of fantasy literature. ”

Time was in a hurry, Huo Yaowen didn't prepare in advance, and after thinking about it for a long time, he decided to talk about science fiction.

Subsequently, Huo Yaowen briefly talked about the influence and readership of science fiction in the current world, and at the same time showed that science fiction is a very promising branch of literature in fantasy literature, and at the same time can have realistic ideas.

"I don't know how many of my classmates have seen "1999", "Second World" and "Jurassic Park" that I wrote. ”

When he said this, Huo Yaowen deliberately glanced at the audience, and saw that ninety percent of the students raised their hands, and they also smiled slightly: "It seems that most of the students have seen it, if the students who haven't seen it can go and take a look, I feel that the writing is okay." ”

Laughing, he continued: "If you have friends who are familiar with me, you should know that my first book was about horror and ghosts, and it wasn't until the first book was written that I was worthy of writing "1999". It was November 1968, not long after I became a philosophy teacher at Shanghai University, and I was warmly invited by Ms. Nie Hualing to go to Iowa to participate in the International Writing Program organized by Nie Hualing and her husband Paul. ”

"My original intention for 1999 was influenced by the Apollo 11 moon landing program in the United States at that time. I remember vividly that I had just arrived at the University of Iowa and spent two whole days in my room, thinking about what I should write. It wasn't until I went out to breakfast with my companion Lin Yanni in the morning that I saw the American moon landing program in the newspaper, and I imagined that in the silent and dark universe, in addition to our earth, there are countless life. ”

"Alien lifeforms? What do they look like? Where are they? Are they technologically advanced than we are? Will they enslave us?

With such fantasies, I wrote "1999", and even proposed the law of the dark forest that living planets in the universe must be lurking, otherwise they will be attacked by groups once they are exposed!"

"Bang Bang Bang ......"

In an instant, there was applause in the auditorium.

"1999" is not only the first science fiction book written by Huo Yaowen, but also the starting road for him to become a world-class science fiction master.

Huo Yaowen waved his hand, and the students in the audience stopped their palms very interestingly and continued to listen quietly: "Later, I wrote science fiction such as "Second World" and "Jurassic Park". These books are indeed loved by many readers, and many copies have been sold around the world, but in the past two years, I have gradually slowed down the output of science fiction works, not because of the outside world's rumored Jiang Lang's talent, or because I have lost my creative ability and devoted myself to business. ”

"Instead, I found a problem, that is, the works I wrote were influenced by the Western science fiction I read when I was young, and the works I created were a bit too "Westernized". In this regard, I must mention Mr. Ni Box, a well-known Hong Kong science fiction writer, who has created many science fiction books, all of which have obvious Chinese culture, which is worth learning from. ”

“……”

was praised by Huo Yaowen in public, even if it was a salty wet guy, he blushed slightly, and he felt incredible in his heart, he actually praised his works for being worth learning? !

In fact, Huo Yaowen was also helpless to mention Ni Box, he was not a kind-hearted person, he had sprayed each other in the newspaper before, how could he have a smile and enmity, if it weren't for Yishu's reasons, he would have sprayed the other party to death a long time ago.

Now he is mentioned, only because there are too few science fiction writers in Hong Kong, and there are even fewer people with a little quality, and the only one who can be praised is only Ni Frame.

In any case, Ni Frame's science fiction has a certain audience in Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan, and even Nanyang and Japan.

In addition, Huo Yaowen himself used to sell abroad, "1999", "Second World" and "Jurassic Park" mostly used foreigners as the protagonists, in order to avoid being scolded by netizens decades later, he decided to say it first.

This is also one of the reasons why Huo Yaowen has not written the last trilogy of "1999" until now.

"There are many excellent literary writers in Hong Kong, but there are still a few science fiction writers, as a more mainstream literary work in the world, I think there should be more young people who like science fiction literature, so as to create more and better science fiction that can go international. ”

"Recently, I've been thinking about a science fiction story, a story with Chinese culture as the core, because it's a trial work, it may be a short story, and when it will be written, it may be in the next few days. ”

After speaking, Huo Yaowen bowed and stepped down.

There was silence at first, and soon there was fierce applause.

Most of the students present are young people, and there are definitely those who like science fiction literature, but the number is still in the minority, they may like to read and read, but they may not like to write.

The applause lasted for more than a minute, and it didn't end until Xing Shinichi took the stage.

"What kind of science fiction do you want to write?" Looking at Huo Yaowen who was sitting down, Zhang Chengyi asked curiously.

Huo Yaowen thought for a while and smiled: "We Chinese pay attention to education-oriented, maybe I will write a science fiction short story about education." ”

"Education?" Zhang Chengyi frowned, although he saw very little science fiction, but he also knew that science fiction seemed to be relatively grandiose, or technology-based, writing science fiction short stories about education, he really didn't know how to write it.

"Yes, education. ”

Huo Yaowen's eyes are like torches, and the science fiction essay by the rural teacher can be said to be very classic. (Not Boss Ma)

……

At four o'clock in the afternoon, when the lecture was still continuing at the Chinese University of Chinese, dozens of people were queuing up to buy movie tickets for the evening at the ticket office of the Golden Harvest Cinema in Yau Ma Tei, Kowloon.

"Sister Lian, why don't we watch this movie. Yu Anan pointed to the poster of "Zombie Taoist" posted on the wall.

Chen Yulian raised her eyes, and the first thing that caught her eye was a Taoist priest holding a talisman paper in her left hand and a wooden sword in her right hand, while behind him stood two men and a woman.

Directly opposite the Taoist priest, there was a strange man wearing an ancient official uniform, I saw that he had a hideous face, long fangs, and a black face, which looked terrifying.

"What is a zombie?" Chen Yulian frowned, she was a little unfamiliar with the word.

Zhong Chuhong shook his head and said, "I don't know, it may be some kind of demon and monster, you see that there are Taoist priests." ”

"I know, I know!"

Mao Shunjun, who was standing at the back, immediately ran to the women, and when he saw everyone's blank looks, he said with a slight meaning: "Zombies are born from the resentment of heaven and earth, filthy qi, immortal and immortal, and abandoned by the three worlds of heaven, earth and man outside the six realms of sentient beings......

Just as he was about to make a big talk, Mao Shunjun noticed the expression of the third girl, and couldn't help but ask curiously, "What's wrong with you?" Why don't you speak?"

"Maomao, what are you talking about? We don't understand it at all. Yu Anan shrugged her shoulders, she had never dared to be interested in these gods and ghosts, so naturally she didn't understand Mao Shunjun's words.

Mao Shunjun was surprised: "Haven't you read Huo Yaowen's ghost blowing lantern? There is a detailed introduction to the origin of zombies. ”

Yu Anan shook his head: "No, I have only read "Sweet Honey" and "Rouge Buckle" written by Mr. Huo. ”

"What about you?" Mao Shunjun turned his head to look at the remaining two daughters.

Chen Yulian and Zhong Chuhong glanced at each other, shook their heads and said, "We haven't seen the ghost blowing lantern either." ”

"Forget it, it doesn't make sense to you, as long as you know that zombies are bad, they specialize in sucking human blood. ”

"Then I don't watch it, I don't like horror movies very much. Chen Yulian hesitated, she didn't like to watch this kind of horror movie very much.

Yu Anan said: "It shouldn't be a horror movie, didn't you see that the heroine of this movie is Qingxia?"

Chen Yulian looked at the portrait on the poster, it was indeed the big star Qingxia, and after thinking about it, she agreed to watch this movie.

After all, today is the first time for a group of them to come out to a party, and they have rejected many movies before, and it is not good to continue to sweep everyone's good mood.
