Chapter 365: Friend, Do You Know Davos?
"Why are you not happy after receiving two world records?" Chen Jiaxuan asked in a low voice when there was no one around. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Lin Han exhaled, and he said happily: "Fortunately, Guinness World Records didn't help me issue me a certificate of genuine fiction with the most typos in the world, otherwise it would have been famous for eternity." β
"So you're here for this, we did try to apply, but we didn't get through. β
"Really?"
"What do you say?"
From Chen Jiaxuan's smiling eyes, Lin Han really couldn't tell whether this was a joke or a real thing, sure enough, beautiful women are very good at lying, Zhang Wuji is right!
This seems to be an honor in the eyes of others, Lin Han did not pass on to his Weibo, he wants to become the Guinness certified author with the most sales, the most sold work, or the author with the most translations, etc.
Therefore, this certification is a bit silent, if it were not for the official Facebook of Guinness World Records, Weibo and Weibo to update this graphic message simultaneously, it is estimated that it will be drowned in the vast network of information!
The previous Guinness World Records were still authoritative, when Lin Han was a student, he always watched Zhengda variety shows on TV to challenge the Guinness World Records, but now the more he develops, the less attractive he becomes, even if it is a strange record, it is just eye-catching.
Guinness, who is caught in the cycle of making world records, is getting more and more criticized on the Internet, what students use a shovel to turn over the pot in Yangzhou to apply for the world's largest fried rice, what is the biggest cake, the largest hot pot, 30,000 people playing tai chi, 12 cities across the country to challenge the largest square dance, etc., these world records are laborious and wasteful, completely meaningless!
Perhaps the leader has taken a step, and the Guinness Book of World Records has changed from an entertainment product that people around the world enjoy to corporate advertising, the largest mattress, the most performances in scenic spots, and the longest T-shirt spliced with clothes of a certain brand......
There is no creativity or technical content, and the commercial promotion has exceeded a certain limit, and now challengers, readers, and viewers cannot get satisfaction and curiosity from it.
Today, the over-commercialized Guinness Book of World Records is still the most obsessed object of the organizers, but it is not the darling of the audience!
There are not many people who follow it on Weibo, who would follow an account that has been swiping the screen for a long time to "advertise" when they have nothing to do?
So when the Guinness World Records official sent out the graphic message half an hour later, almost no people liked it, and it was a mess.
I don't know where the operator saw this Weibo and immediately forwarded it: "Chinese science fiction master Lin Han has successfully challenged the world's shortest novel and the science fiction novel with the most translated languages, congratulations to Mr. Lin! I hope Mr. Lin can bring more excellent works and break more world records in the future!"
It was not until this time that the news that Lin Han won two world records was officially exposed, and many media reported it, which surprised netizens.
No matter how far the Guinness World Records falls, it is still in force, after all, in some sense, it has achieved the number one in the world, which is not a simple matter!
Netizens almost celebrated happily, and at the same time, many people ridiculed it kindly, but Lin Han's own Weibo did not move at all.
"Mr. Lin is amazing, two world records, famous in history, worthy of being the first person in Chinese science fiction!"
"Is this news or old news, isn't Lin Han's three words dying known as a thousand words?"
"Great, support Mr. Lin, "I, Robot" is really good, I didn't expect it to be translated into so many words, to be honest, I didn't know that there were so many languages in the world, and I thought that most people abroad read the English version!"
"Upstairs, take me a...... As a geopolitical scumbag, I can't even name more than 50 countries, let alone their languages, no wonder Mr. Lin's sales are so high, and he has properly won glory for the country!"
"That is to say, Mr. Lin has worked hard to open up overseas markets, and there are always a group of fools who are dragging behind. β
"Lin Hanwei didn't even have an acceptance speech or anything, it's too low-key!"
"I like Mr. Lin, a person who is indifferent to fame and fortune and devotes himself to writing books, and his new book looks good. β
"Wow, what will be Mr. Lin's next record? The world's best-selling Chinese writer, China's highest-selling science fiction writer?"
On the forum of the Hanlin Academy, many enthusiastic readers began to help Lin Han plan what world records he could apply for in the next few years, so this brainstorming post ushered in many replies and sightseeing groups in other places!
All kinds of bad ideas and ghost ideas have come out, as the saying goes, three stinkers beat Zhuge Liang, so many netizens helped Lin Han come up with what single science fiction sales king, science fiction that made the most readers cry, and even suggested that Lin Han write the longest science fiction novel, writing hundreds of millions of words.
Lin Han couldn't help laughing after looking at the comments and messages at home, he really had to apply for these world records, he wanted to wait for the records to be broken, these loopholes and opportunistic records were not interesting, no matter how much he took it, it was better to break the sales record!
Lin Han, who has nothing to do, chooses to enrich himself with reading, he must keep up with the trend of the times, some scientific breakthroughs are very important in novels, outdated science fiction novels are very deadly!
Just imagine, if a science fiction novel about the future, the theory or key science involved in it has appeared in reality or has been proven wrong, then the loophole is huge, and it is a joke to advertise hard science fiction.
Although hard science fiction does not require all theories to be accurate, don't make big jokes, for a high-profile person like Lin Han, any flaws in the novel will be magnified, and many people come with a magnifying glass to find the problems, and he has to guard against these.
Reading books and understanding by yourself is one aspect, and at the same time, you can also ask professionals for advice, for example, Lin Han has already established a good relationship with several research institutes in Tsinghua University, and he can go in and visit, and he can also ask scientists and find a consultant!
The advantage of being a top science fiction writer is that he is well-known, and these institutes basically will not turn Lin Han away, even if some old-fashioned scientists can't look down on "error-ridden" popular science novels like Lin Han, but they can't stand up to the many young people.
These days, young people can hold up half the sky, and those young people are happy to make friends with a science fiction master!
Even if Lin Han has a strong self-learning ability, he can't read all types of papers, and those papers may not even be able to understand undergraduate and graduate students studying these majors, let alone a layman.
Lin Han positioned himself as a panacea, not expecting himself to do research, but hoping that the theories written in the novel could be understood by himself, he has replaced the outdated concepts in science fiction more than once, and now it can be regarded as a small experience.
During this time, Lin Han borrowed a lot of books from the National Library and came back, and he took out the reading energy of his student days and studied it seriously.
Because he was waiting for the footage produced by Hollywood special effects companies, he did not plan to write a new book in such a short period of time, and simply waited for the "Martian" trailer to be edited before starting to write.
It's rare to be free, and after reading the book for a few days, he feels that life is as dull as boiled water, so he simply went to the editing room of Chang'e Pictures to watch the shots of "The Martian".
These shots are all unpolished materials, and all of them are more than 90 hours old, Lin Han knows the plot well, he knows a shot when he sees it, and he knows what time period and the plot should be used, after all, there is a reference in his head!
β¦β¦
The sunshine in May is particularly brilliant, and the rising temperature makes people on the streets and alleys wear summer clothes, and a pair of eye-catching white thighs are bravely exposed.
Dark clouds gathered, thunder and lightning roared, and the first thundershower of this summer suddenly came, and the bean-sized raindrops fell down, and the pedestrians on the street were drenched in cold hearts!
Lin Han was also trapped in the coffee shop at this time, this unknown coffee shop is very low-key in the downtown area, but even so, many people came in to hide from the rain and buy a cup of coffee to drink.
The heavy rain soon gathered into a stream of water, and a few strong men still braved the rain to advance.
Originally, Lin Han was discussing his new book "Rushing Out of the Mother Universe" with Li Wenyuan today, but Li Wenyuan ran to pick up his daughter from school, and Lin Han was going to sit here for a while, but when he was about to leave, he was dragged by the heavy rain!
He leaned on the chair, ready to ask his daughter-in-law for help, and asked Chen Jiaxuan to take him away with an umbrella, after all, there is no car at this time, there is no umbrella or umbrella, and it is not easy to take a taxi on a rainy day.
It's almost time to get off work, and after Chen Jiaxuan saw WeChat, she quickly replied with a message, "Honey, you just stay over there, I'll come over immediately to save the beauty!"
"Okay, you drive a little slower, I'm not in a hurry. β
Today Chen Jiaxuan drove Lin Han's Audi, her car was sent for maintenance, and after finding the street where Lin Han was located with the positioning, she slowed down and pulled over, and then dialed Lin Han's phone.
Seeing the familiar car slowly leaning on the side of the road, Lin Han didn't care about the heavy rain outside, he directly buckled his cap and rushed from the door of the coffee shop to the passenger seat, and then quickly opened the car door and sat in.
It's just a distance of more than ten meters, and his hair and T-shirt are already wet.
Chen Jiaxuan handed over a towel, and she said with a smile: "Yo, the dew is there." Wipe it off and don't catch a cold!"
"This damn weather, I thought it would stop soon, but it still goes on. Lin Han complained slightly, he put the towel on his head, and then turned his head to look at Chen Jiaxuan.
"It's good to eat hot pot on a rainy day, how about we go and eat hot pot?"
Lin Han naturally agreed, it didn't matter what dinner he had, he had a wide range of hobbies!
The splash of water from the wheels left marks on the road, and Chen Jiaxuan drove very steadily, not thinking about what time to fight.
Just when the two stopped talking, Lin Han's mobile phone rang, and he saw that it was actually Li Wenyuan calling, so he casually swiped it to connect, "Mosquito, why are you calling me, are you going to rescue me?"
"Yo, you're still at the coffee shop? I thought you were gone, and if you were still there, I'd stop by to pick you up. β
"Forget it, my daughter-in-law came to pick me up, and I'm getting ready to go to dinner, although it's a little early. By the way, what the hell are you calling for?"
Li Wenyuan was also in the car at this time, and he turned on the sound of the car radio to the maximum, "Did you hear that? The news is reporting on you, since you are also in the car, then go directly to the voice of CCTV." β
Being on the news is really nothing new for Lin Han, he didn't bother to move, so he asked directly: "You should tell me directly." β
"Friend, have you heard of Davos?"
"Of course I've heard of it, this has something to do with me, and I also know about the Boao Forum. β
"Anyway, listen to it yourself, it's quite laborious for me to describe, and the little ancestor is making trouble again!" Li Wenyuan hung up the phone after speaking, probably fighting wits with his baby daughter in the car.
Lin Han really didn't understand this, he couldn't care about his laziness, he turned on the radio directly, and then found the voice of CCTV, and before Chen Jiaxuan could ask, he heard the announcer's voice: "Let's go into an advertisement, we'll see you after the advertisement!"
It's almost a black question mark, and it's too bad luck to miss the news completely.
Chen Jiaxuan looked at Lin Han's aggrieved appearance and asked, "My dear, what happened?"
"Mosquito asked me to listen to this channel, as if it was some news related to me, or Davos. β
Now it was Chen Jiaxuan's turn to be confused, "What is this Davos for? I only know that HΓ€agen-Dazs and the Dallas Mavericks you often watch in the NBA, Davos is a little familiar. β
She really thought about it, where had she heard of this name?
"World Economic Forum in Davos, you know that, right?"
"Oh, I remembered. But what does this have to do with you, and what does it have to do with the economy?"
Lin Han also shook his head helplessly, "I don't know the specifics, let's see what is said on the Internet." β
The World Economic Forum in Davos is headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland, because it was first held in the small town of Davos, Switzerland, so it has this nickname, it is the most influential unofficial international institution in the world, and the leaders of various countries and even the heads of other large organizations will also participate as guests, such as the International Monetary Fund, the President of the International Committee of the Red Cross, and well-known figures in the fields of politics, economy, science and society.
The influence of the entire Economic Forum lies in the strength of its membership group, the members of the World Economic Forum Foundation in Davos, which are among the world's top 1,000 multinational companies that lead the world economic trend, as well as the most influential media in the field of global media!
Lin Han didn't understand even if he wanted to break his head, what does Davos have to do with him, could it be that a certain speaker is his reader?
After he typed his name on the Qiandu search page, he began to search for relevant information, but he was shocked! )
