707 "The Story of Your Life"

Lin Han, who was pondering, couldn't find the slightest inspiration, so he simply logged in to the Hanlin Academy forum with a trumpet, he wanted to see what his fans were doing. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

"The Matrix Global Box Office Tracking - The latest battle report, the Japanese market is off to a gratifying start, mobilizing 910,000 viewers in three days over the weekend, and earning 1.72 billion yen at the box office, about $14 million, which strongly assists "The Matrix" to break $1 billion at the global box office! Celebrate with flowers! ”

"Guess the content of Mr. Lin's next work without discipline, please like it if you support it!"

"Hyperion's plot review, and "Hyperion's Fall" plot conjecture!"

"The most shocking movie review in history, did you really understand "The Matrix"?"

"What do you think of the Golden Globe nominations? Did Mr. Lin win the award? ”

"The opening is open, the Oscar nominations have not yet been announced, how many nominations do you think "The Matrix" can be shortlisted?"

"If I were to say that 'The Matrix' is the best sci-fi film, would you object?"

"[Muyu Tucao] The whole world is speaking Chinese, the whole universe is speaking English, the words of the earthlings, let the universe be obedient!"

Lin Han has no interest in those news or anything, and he also knows that "The Matrix" has received a good box office in Japan, and Galaxy Pictures is also in full swing preparing for a celebration banquet of breaking 1 billion.

This is the top priority in the Chinese film industry today, and the box office of 1 billion US dollars is almost 6.8 billion yuan when converted into RMB, which is almost 6.8 billion yuan, and this box office is simply going to make the movies behind despair!

At the same time, it also makes more film companies understand that the overseas market is promising, and the box office potential is very broad!

After all, the box office of "The Matrix" in the mainland is only 1.7 billion yuan, and everyone originally thought that this result was already very strong, but it is nothing compared to the global 6.8 billion yuan!

It's certainly good to earn dollars, euros, pounds, and Australian dollars!

That box office post can be said to have the largest number of replies in recent hours, and after breaking $1 billion, the media should take the initiative to report it, and maybe it can even make tens or hundreds of millions of dollars in the mainland.

Lin Han thought happily in his heart, but his hand was to control the mouse to click into the post of Muyu complaining, he wanted to see what these netizens were complaining about.

"I've watched so many science fiction movies and science fiction novels, and I've always thought it was amazing. It seems that the whole world speaks Chinese, and the whole world also knows English, so there is no language barrier. What's even more terrifying is that even aliens can communicate in English, and only occasionally a few movies will explain it directly, the suppression of lower civilizations by higher civilizations, and you can know how to speak with a simple touch of brain waves! ”

There are a lot of agreeing voices in this post, and everyone thinks it's to the point!

"This is basically a common problem of sci-fi blockbusters, the same world, the same bug!"

"Aliens all speak English, what's so strange about that. It's already polite that people don't speak Korean, after all, even the Milky Way is a Korean stick. ”

"Actually, the landlord should not have watched enough films. I remember there were a few movies where aliens didn't speak Earth, either they didn't speak all the time, or they just spoke birds! ”

"Hahahaha, this is the default setting, do you understand!"

"A few days ago, I posted a movie review complaining about another movie, and the whole world revolves around the United States."

"Are you stupid ... If you can't communicate, then how can it become a novel, and it will be the finale directly! ”

"Strong learning ability~ This is the most likely answer I can come up with."

"It's also possible that they deciphered our language when they were in outer space, after all, the initial equipment is higher than that of the earth, and the end is basically that they can't beat the earthlings!"

Nowadays, many movies under the name of Interstellar Movie No. 7 are simply outrageously simple in their portrayal of aliens.

Many popular sci-fi movies are without exception, maybe the imagination is limited, maybe it's just thinking that it's just a popcorn movie anyway, and the main aliens in these movies are different from humans except for their skin color, facial shape, and human beings, and their thinking patterns and body functions are no different from human beings!

This has led to an ultimate question: all aliens in the world speak English?

In fact, this spit is not a new stalk, every time a sci-fi blockbuster is released, it will be dragged out and whipped!

For other science fiction writers who are keen to write about earthlings and extraterrestrials, the language necessary for communication between intelligent beings should have been a problem that must be solved.

But it is clear that the vast majority of writers have avoided this question. In their stories, the language barrier is always brushed aside: soon after the story begins, they have the geoscientists appear in front of the aliens with an automatic translator, or they don't have the process at all!

Describing the communication between two intelligent beings from a linguistic perspective is a great challenge to the imagination of writers.

Lin Han just knew that in the history of science fiction for more than 100 years, there was a genius writer who had made remarkable achievements in this regard!

Ted Jiang is one of the finest contemporary Chinese-American science fiction writers, and he has been publishing since 1990. From the beginning of the female novel, until now, there are only 8 short stories.

However, these 8 novels have made him a high reputation in the global science fiction community, because these novels have won him all the trophies of science fiction awards, including the Hugo Award, Nebula Award, Sturgeon Award, and Campbell Award!

Ted Kang's masterpiece "The Story of Your Life" is an extremely rare science fiction novel with linguistics at its core.

This novel doesn't seem to be related to science fiction from the title, but it tells a science fiction story with a very hard core, and expresses the charm of linguistics to the extreme!

"The Story of Your Life" is about the communication between humans and aliens, which means that the core element of the whole story is communication - humans and aliens use language to communicate.

In the pen of this genius writer, the language of aliens seems to be living creatures.

The heroine is a linguist who was called by the government to communicate with the alien seven-limbed bucket, and she studied the alien language after several twists and turns, only to find out that the language itself hides a very special ability!

The novel has always been acclaimed, but it was the 2016 sci-fi film adaptation that changed the name "The Story of Your Life" to "Arrival" and released it massively around the world.

"Arrival" is a literary and artistic science fiction movie, its box office does not seem to be very good, North America has just broken 100 million, and overseas is only 100 million US dollars, and the global box office is only 200 million!

But this is already very good for literary films, "Arrival" has been praised by film critics, not only the opening film of the Venice Film Festival and the main competition unit film, but also won 8 nominations for Best Director, Best Picture, Best Adapted Screenplay at the Academy Awards, and the reputation is so good that it explodes!

Of course, this is all what happened in Lin Han's original world, and there is no "The Story of Your Life" in the current world, so Lin Han finally made up his mind.

This unique science fiction novel, with linguistics at its core, has become his new work, and it is about to take on the responsibility of the opening annual publication of Fantasy Age magazine, and its quality is fully affordable!
