Li Wenyuan followed Lin Han around the campus of Peking University and left alone, he was very interested in the plan that Lin Han said, so he planned to communicate with the Science Fiction Association. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Lin Han was surprised to find that he was lost on campus, wandering to a place he had never been to, and he had to use his mobile phone to open a navigation!
There are still twenty minutes before the start of class today, but the classrooms that can accommodate more than two or three hundred people are full, and there are people in every position, and some people even bring their own small benches to sit at the back of the classroom.
When Lin Han came in, these students screamed and applauded as if they had seen an idol star, which made him extremely embarrassed.
Lin Han pressed his hands downward, signaling the students to be quiet, he turned on the microphone on the classroom podium, "Hello everyone, first of all, I have to say sorry to everyone, the class has started for so long, and thank you to all the students who came to listen to the class!"
Yin Wen was sitting in the first row, and he replied excitedly, "It's okay!"
He has been taking a seat here since seven o'clock in the morning, and has even moved his morning professional class to tomorrow for this reason, in order to get a good seat.
Now seeing Lin Han in front of the podium, Yin Wenzheng feels that everything is worth it!
Since it was not yet class time, Lin Han did not officially start the lecture, he interacted with these students, "Our course is called science fiction literature and film and television, and it talks about the relationship between literature and film and television, which book do you like the most?"
"I like '20,000 Leagues Under the Sea' the most!"
"Gravity is not bad, I like Verne's books. ”
"Of course it's Mr. Lin, your "Jurassic Park", the novel is even more exciting than the movie, I went to the cinema three times to watch it, and I was shocked every time!"
"I heard that Paramount invited visitors to experience VR movies at a recent VR show, and many people were so scared by the VR version of Jurassic Park that they sat on the ground and kept backing up, and some even screamed and cried. Mr. Lin, where in our country can we have this kind of experience?"
"Hyperion is very good. ”
There are also girls who say "Bouquet for Algernon" in a high-pitched and pleasant voice, everyone's aesthetics are inconsistent, but many people know science fiction through Lin Han's works.
Lin Han smiled, and he continued: "In the next time, let's discuss the relationship between science fiction and science fiction movies. Or what kind of film adaptation is good, what are the differences between adapting a novel into a movie, how can there be innovations and breakthroughs in the movie while maintaining the essence of the novel, how should science fiction movies respect the original work, and where is the charm of the novel and the movie. I'm going to try to finish it this semester, and if I don't, I'll continue next semester!"
The students began to nod their heads in unison, the things that Lin Han said just now sounded interesting, they had more or less watched science fiction movies in their seats, but they didn't know which ones were based on novels.
"I don't know if you notice it, the better science fiction movies in the last five years are all original, and there are very few science fiction films adapted from novels and made well. According to IMDB's scores, in five years, more than 1,500 users voted, and only five of the top 30 science fiction movies were adapted from novels!
But Yin Wenzheng and others immediately retorted, ""The Martian" is very well filmed, and there is also "Jurassic Park"!"
"Yes, "Jurassic Park" is so shocking, it is definitely a model of a novel adapted into a movie. ”
"Mr. Lin, shouldn't the five adaptations of novels all be your works?"
"Don't be modest, everyone knows that Jurassic Park is your novel!"
"It's good to live forever!"
Coaxed by his classmates like this, Lin Han laughed helplessly, "Originally, I didn't want Wang Po to sell melons and boast about herself, but I finally wanted to be humble and be recognized." Then I'll just say that, apart from my science fiction novels, there have been few good novels adapted into science fiction movies in recent years!"
He does have such confidence, and in the past year, "The Martian", "Immortality", and "Jurassic Park" have begun to bomb the big screen.
In the coming time, "Bouquet for Algernon" starring Leonardo in November, "The Matrix" directed by Lin Han in February next year will be released in turn, and "The Time Traveler's Wife", "The Wandering Earth", and "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy", which have finalized the film and television rights transfer agreement, are waiting to be filmed!
It can be said that Lin Han alone supports half the sky of science fiction movies!
So many good movies have been adapted from his novels, but the rest of the science fiction writers have very few works.
After hearing Lin Han say this, the students present couldn't help laughing one by one, it was not easy to see such a real Teacher Lin.
"Similar to science fiction, science fiction is an art form where creativity is king. Movies based on science fiction novels first lose the first-glance effect that amazes audiences. Like my "The Martian", the ending of the protagonist is already clear at a glance, there is no suspense, and even the whole story is quite familiar to the audience. The director of the film will also be subject to many restrictions because the film is adapted from a novel, and it will be difficult to play it to the fullest!"
This is indeed a fact, Zheng Shuping once joked with Lin Han with a smile that if "The Martian" was smashed, would he be beaten by Lin Han's novel readers, and the pressure on fans of the original book was indeed a little great.
The whole storyline was exposed to the audience early, and what you have to fight for is the director's ability, the actors' acting skills, visual effects and auditory effects, only top works can be loved by the audience!
So science fiction adaptations are generally word-of-mouth polarized distribution, either good or bad, and there is no centrist.
As a science fiction writer and director, Lin Han is indeed qualified to analyze it like this, and what he says is what he has personally experienced.
"First of all, we must know that the film adaptation of the novel seems to be using the film to interpret the original novel, but in fact, it should be regarded as a new creation. Movies are never filmed with the aim of restoring novels or visualizing words!"
Many fans of the novel hope that the movie can restore all the situational experience of their ventilation when watching the work, and show the whole dream in their mind caused by words.
This is obviously a very unrealistic fantasy, just imagine, how can it be possible to restore the reading experience of dozens of hours of a novel with only two hours of video?
……
Lin Han spoke in detail, and the regulations were clear.
The students in the audience were naturally fascinated by what they heard, and many couldn't help but nod their heads in agreement, speaking to their hearts.
However, at this time, a voice suddenly sounded, "Teacher Lin, you have won the award!"
Everyone turned their attention to a boy in the middle, only to see that his face quickly swelled and reddened, and the volume became smaller and smaller, "Just now the Weibo client pushed a message, you won the Goncourt Literary Award!"
Originally, everyone was still a little annoyed by this kind of person who interrupted the order of the class, but after hearing this classmate's words, quite a few students did the same thing, that is, they lowered their heads and took out their mobile phones to check.
Lin Han, who was standing on the podium, was also slightly distracted, when he got the nomination some time ago, he was ready to be disappointed, he was both a science fiction novel and a foreign writer, and it was very difficult to win the French Goncourt Prize.
"Hey, it's true. UC also sent a message: Shocked! Chinese writer has won the highest prize for French literature!"
"Wow, congratulations to Mr. Lin, I got another award, it looks so powerful. ”
"Mr. Lin is really the best, although I don't know what this award is for. ”
"Wow, the most powerful literary award in France, it actually went to "Hyperion", it deserves to be my favorite novel!"
The classroom suddenly became buzzing, and the students sat in their seats, talking to each other, and the voices gradually increased.
Lin Han patted the podium with his hand, and he said, "Although we have won the award, we still have to continue the class, everyone be quiet first!"
……
Just when Lin Han restored order in class, the media outside almost went crazy, especially those who knew how powerful the Goncourt Award really was.
Culture-related news reports in China are the fastest, and then because of Lin Han's personal sake, entertainment magazines and websites also quickly reported and forwarded, with amazing efficiency!
As early as when the nominations were announced, this award was swiped once, and many people were known about it by popular science. Now that Lin Han has finally won the award, the attention is naturally different, after all, the winner.
The official website of the French newspaper Le Figaro was the first to announce the results, "The Goncourt Award is announced, and the Chinese science fiction writer becomes the final winner!"
Then the media in Italy, Greece, Germany, the United Kingdom, Spain, the United States, and China also took action, and when the Nobel Prize for Literature was not announced, the Goncourt Prize was a literary event that was eligible to be widely noticed.
"Chinese writer Lin Han wins Prix Goncourt for 'Hyperion'"
"The 2017 Goncourt Prize went to science fiction writers, whose works are rich in ideological connotation, and were once the top book sales list in France!"
"The final list of the 115th French Goncourt Literary Award was announced, and Chinese writer Lin Han became the first writer in history to win an award for science fiction, creating a literary award history!"
"Lin Han captured Goncourt and became the first Chinese writer to win the award!"
"The Prix Goncourt won the prize for science fiction!"
"The post-80s writer Lin Han won the Goncourt Literary Award for his work "Hyperion", which is reported to be Lin Han's first literary award!"
One media after another rushed to report it, and the original favorites suddenly no one paid attention, and it was instinct to chase the winners.
Few people in the world would have thought that Lin Han would win the award, except for his advantages in sales, the rest are disadvantages, and he has become a super dark horse!
Bo Cai Company smiled from ear to ear, many of them were the rest of the French writers who were bought, but they didn't expect them to lose to the young Lin Han.
