Lin Han's readers are all over the seven continents and four oceans, and even in the cold and barren Antarctic research station, there are people reading Lin Han's novels, but unfortunately this "Arrival" is only available in Chinese at the moment. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

This has alarmed foreign readers, who are demanding that their own magazines reprint and translate the novel!

"Nature" magazine has published several of Lin Han's works, but this "Arrival" is too many words, and if more than 30,000 words are translated into English, it may occupy more than 10 or 20 pages, which is certainly too much for a journal that focuses on academic research.

Fortunately, at this time, the famous American science fiction magazine "****og" sent an application to "Fantasy Times" and Lin Han's agency, they wanted to introduce this novel and translate it themselves!

As one of the three traditional science fiction magazines, **** og has been translated as analogues most of the time, and it is a pioneer leader in the science fiction genre, featuring short stories and science.

In Europe and the United States, science fiction has become synonymous with fantasy, and many science fiction magazines publish science fiction and fantasy novels at the same time. If you want to talk about spring science fiction magazine, then only "Analogous" remains, and it sticks to its position as always!

Lin Han has also heard of this magazine, and his work has been reprinted many times by established magazines such as "Analogue", "Trajectories", "Science Fiction and Fantasy Magazine", "Light Year", "Daily Science Fiction", and "Galaxy Edge".

They laid an important mass foundation for the expansion of Lin Han's popularity, otherwise it would be difficult for European and American readers to notice Lin Han's short stories.

Since there are people who are willing to take the initiative to take the responsibility of translation, then Lin Han is also happy, but he does not have full authority to let go, but has the right of veto!

The English version of "Analogy" must be read by Lin Han in advance, and if the translation of the novel is problematic or substandard, then Lin Han will not be able to hand over the inferior things to them for publication.

This is obviously smashing your own signboard!

It is not easy for him to work hard all the way to the present, and the more he stands at the peak, the more he must pay attention.

……

"I heard you're engaged? When is the wedding? ”

Xu Jiayan sent a voice message to Lin Han, and he also added Chen Jiaxuan's friend, so he could naturally see the diamond ring on Chen Jiaxuan's finger that he had sent before.

After Lin Han clicked to play the voice, he also pressed and held the screen to reply: "I must invite you, you can prepare the red envelope with peace of mind." ”

"Have you chosen your best man? I think I'm a good fit! ”

A person like Xu Jiayan who has a coffee position has hardly been a best man for others, he can be regarded as the current national male god and national actor, and the most handsome and sexual in the hearts of thousands of netizens. An actor with a sense of influence, who can win the actor with his left hand and resist the box office with his right hand, can be regarded as the strongest star in the limelight recently.

Even if he went abroad for further study, it did not affect his popularity, but instead improved his compulsion with a series of international brand endorsements!

His fans are much more confident when they fight, how many stars can endorse luxury goods on a global scale?

Not to mention being like Xu Jiayan, he has won several endorsements in a row!

People who can see hard advertisements overseas still have one hand left.

Faced with Xu Jiayan's self-recommendation, Lin Han joked: "It's okay to be the best man, but don't come alone when the time comes." And don't dress up too handsomely, lest you steal the limelight. ”

"It's a problem, if I don't look good, I'm afraid I'll have to paint a special effect makeup. By the way, I'm recording here in New York right now, and guess what I saw! ”

As one of the leading actors in the movie "The Matrix", which can sweep nearly $300 million in North America, Xu Jiayan can be regarded as embarking on a non-mainstream development path in Hollywood.

He didn't make serious Hollywood blockbusters, but he was familiar to many fans and Hollywood insiders.

Therefore, he was invited to record the American national-level talk show "The Late Show of David Letterman", which is the ace program of CBS TV, with a very large audience and great influence, which is very important for Xu Jiayan who wants to open up the Hollywood market!

Lin Han was not interested, and he didn't really want to know what this guy saw, "Let's hear it, it must be something interesting." ”

"When I was walking by Times Square, I noticed a group of people cosplaying The Matrix and playing a flash mob. I saw that many people are videotaping, I guess someone has spread it on the Internet, you can take a look, hundreds of people, very shocking scene, it just so happens that there are several screens on Times Square that are also playing advertisements related to the Matrix, this movie is really popular in the United States! ”

"You only know that, otherwise the $300 million box office was conjured out of thin air?"

Xu Jiayan defended and said: "I used to watch the news and listen to reports, and I didn't have an intuitive feeling. Now when I come to the scene, the onlookers next to me can recognize me one by one! ”

This is definitely not a simple matter for Americans with advanced face blind cancer, which is probably due to the fact that Xu Jiayan's image of Agent Smith in "The Matrix" is too vivid and impressive.

"Okay, okay, I know you're popular in the United States, so you don't have to show off with me."

"Well, I just digressed. I'm not talking about a flash mob, but the New Yorker magazine I bought, and it seems like your new book has only been released for a short time, and I saw a review here. I'll take a picture and send it to you right away. ”

After that, a few photos were sent over through WeChat, and I saw that the photos were densely packed with English, and the accompanying pictures turned out to be the seven-limbed bucket alien text drawn by Lin Han himself before!

These gringos are really efficient!

Lin Han didn't care about continuing to talk to Xu Jiayan, he enlarged the two pictures, and then read them carefully.

……

The New Yorker is an American intellectual, literary and artistic publication that focuses on nonfiction, including reports and commentaries on politics, international affairs, popular culture and art, technology, and business.

He also publishes some literary works, mainly short stories and poems, and has a high-quality writing team and a rigorous editing style.

It's no exaggeration to say that The New Yorker has grown into an essential part of New York society, and if you want to enter the cosmopolitan social circle, then this magazine is enough!

At the reception, people chatted a lot about the New Yorker, and people talked about what the magazine wrote.

Since film, theater and literature are an important part of the city's culture in New York, The New Yorker is famous for its reviews on culture and art, and the people who write reviews for it are either writers or celebrities, and the authority is very strong!

At the moment, "Arrival" has not been published in English at all, but "The New Yorker" actually invited a Chinese-American writer Tommy Chen to write a book review, which is probably the biggest recognition!

"It is clear that the short story is now in extreme danger, and there is even an art council to support the short story as a way to give the literary form greater influence and awareness.

In fact, the short story is an important form of science fiction, fantasy novel, and thriller novel.

There's a little rule in the literary world that if you haven't published one or two novels, you can't publish a collection of short stories!

Han Lin's short science fiction stories are very famous, and his new book "Arrival" is clear and unambiguous, but not so moving, and even sometimes prosaic, but it has a high-concept feel. ”

Tommy Chan is a fantasy writer, but in the United States science fiction and fantasy are inseparable, so there is nothing wrong with him judging Lin Han's science fiction.

What's more, this writer, who immigrated to the United States since his parents, has a deep study of Chinese culture and can fluently use and read Chinese, so he can be the first to see this novel ahead of so many critics in the United States!

Tommy Chen always felt that his praise was relatively lacking, and he couldn't describe Lin Han's power at all, and he never thought that such an outstanding and admirable science fiction master would be born in the land of his hometown.

"In Lin's pen, science fiction has really become an idea literature, and its most important thing is the sense of surprise. Although some people watch Advent with a nostalgia for classic philosophical science fiction, this novel doesn't go out of style!

The story is surprising in its modernity and melancholy transcendence, rather than the naïve dreams of the fifties sci-fi.

More importantly, this novel embodies a kind of human wisdom, which communicates intimately with readers, so that we have an intuitive experience of the story, and we can also feel Lin Han's rational enthusiasm!

Language, mathematics and physics are the elements of "Arrival" and the narrative method that attracts the reader, which is precisely the thing in science fiction that makes those literary fake insiders turn white.

The story is based on a deep humanistic spirit, so that even the most profound philosophical conjectures can move and resonate with readers.

If there is no scientific conjecture, this story will not be warm and surprisingly moving. Tide! ”

After reading the content on these photos, Lin Han breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that the story of "Arrival" has not been affected by his modification of the background.

In the original novel, the United States has made a great contribution, and China has become an important villain.

But here in Lin Han, the form has been reversed!

Not only did the hero and heroine become Chinese, but they also saved the world together, and the United States shouted and killed and became out-and-out villains.

In fact, this is not black, I am afraid that the Americans themselves know the urine nature of their government, and in the face of spaceships, maybe they will indeed be the first to declare war and launch missiles!

Lin Han didn't expect a short story to make any money, but after he was published in "Fantasy Times", he got about 700,000 pre-tax manuscript fees, and now with the manuscript fee from "Analogous", this short story of more than 30,000 words has brought him more than one million income!

After becoming famous, it is much easier to make money, it is just a number.
