Lin Han has just come out of the pit of "The Three-Body Problem", and now he has fallen into the game of "The Martian", from the beginning of the plot of the game to the development step by step, he has to participate in it. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The employees here work overtime until about 11 o'clock at night every day before going home, but the next day they show up in the office at 9 o'clock and continue to work, and no one complains about anything.

The overall working atmosphere is very good, everyone is working together, and they are all holding their breath in their hearts to make this game well.

Lin Han was also moved by this atmosphere, although he was a free body, he still insisted on leaving until seven or eight o'clock in the evening every day, and almost worked overtime to get these settings done.

The rest is all left to them to perfect, whether it is drawing or recording or whatever, these are all post-production things.

"Mr. Lin, I haven't worked with other writers, but it's not easy to do this, thank you very much!" Fu Zhan said excitedly, the copywriting and plot setting were completed ahead of schedule, and Lin Han contributed a lot.

Lin Han waved his hand, "This is what I should do, your team is very attentive, and I look forward to the arrival of this game." Don't send me off, I'll come back and see the progress when I have time. ”

"By the way, Mr. Lin, we communicated with Chang'e Films, and when the game and the movie will be linked, we may be the first version of the game, and the game data will be updated at that time, maybe even our game icons will be changed to movie posters or something. I hope there will be a chance to cooperate next time. ”

"Then you can make good money, and if you make money, you will buy the copyright of my "Three-Body Problem", which is not a matter of millions. Lin Han said half-jokingly and half-seriously, "The Martian" is just testing the waters, and it was sold for a friendship price of nine million.

Fu Zhan hadn't seen "The Three-Body Problem" yet, but he was curious at this time, "Is it really possible for "The Three-Body Problem" to surpass "The Martian"?"

Lin Han stood at the elevator entrance and explained: ""The Three-Body Problem is on sale in two weeks, if you have time, you can read it, and it is still a series of novels." ”

After the elevator clanged and opened the door, Lin Han walked in, turned around and glanced at the door of Xingyue Games, he had a hunch that this company would definitely achieve something.

……

Again, Lin Han is now quietly waiting for "The Three-Body Problem" to go on sale on September 15, this time "The Three-Body Problem" failed to be sold simultaneously in Chinese and English, because Lin Han has not seen the English version of "The Three-Body Problem" at all.

Therefore, it is very important to find a qualified translator for the novel, preferably familiar with science fiction and familiar with Chinese and English descriptions.

This is a scarce talent, Penguin Publishing Group has been searching for a long time around the world to find such a person, and now Lin Han is going to meet him.

A few days ago, Penguin Publishing Group gave him a long list of lists, but among so many candidates, Lin Han saw that particularly familiar name at a glance.

"It's actually Liu Yukun, is there that person over there in Niangziguan? Xiao Liu has appeared, and Da Liu is not there. ”

At this time, Lin Han felt that things were developing in an interesting direction, he knew Liu Yukun, because on the earth, "The Three-Body Problem" and "Yanjing Folding" were all translated by him, and many people said that the gap between China and the world's top science fiction is not a few Liu Cixin, but a Liu Yukun, who is the bridge between Chinese and Western science fiction.

Liu Yukun, who graduated from Harvard University's Department of English and American Literature, is the boss behind these two science fiction awards, he is not only a translator, but even his achievements in science fiction are comparable to other writers, and he has won the Hugo Award and the Nebula Award!

In the café, Liu Yukun, who had just flown from New York to Yanjing, was a little apprehensive, he had only released his short stories one after another the year before last, and had also translated for Science Fiction World magazine, but he had never thought of translating Lin Han's novels.

Lin Han looked at Xiao Liu, who was younger than himself, and laughed secretly in his heart, time was a little confused.

"Mr. Lin, I have read the rest of your novels, and those novels are all translated by yourself, why did you choose to let me translate them this time?"

Liu Yukun has just been admitted to Harvard University for graduate law, although he has little experience, he is not stupid at all, and directly asked the most critical questions.

"That's right, the previous books took a lot of time to translate, so I started translating them myself, but in fact, the effect was not particularly good, and occasionally readers pointed out the parts that did not conform to the English expression. Lin Han shrugged his shoulders helplessly, "I have a lot of other things to do recently, the English version of "Jurassic Park" will be released in the United States tomorrow, I believe you can do this." ”

Liu Yukun couldn't believe his ability, but he was extremely excited in his heart, as a Chinese American, he knew what kind of status Lin Han's novels had over there.

"I, Robot" and "The Martian" have been sold one after another, and the promotion of "Jurassic Park" is in full swing, and people in the school occasionally talk about Lin Han, a Chinese science fiction writer.

"I was worried that if I didn't translate it well, I would ruin the novel. Otherwise, I'll go back and translate a chapter first, and I'll give it to you to see, and if I think it's okay, I'll continue, and if I think it's not okay, I'll change people. That doesn't delay both of us. ”

However, Lin Han waved his hand, "You specialize in English and American literature, although you have transferred to law, you are still very good in your bones." The rest of you may be able to translate better than you, but they don't understand the meaning of science fiction. This is science fiction, not the rest of the genre, I need to find a science fiction writer to translate, you are the best choice!"

Liu Yukun was still young after all, and was encouraged by Lin Han's righteous words, he nodded fiercely and said, "Then I will do my best to translate this book and not hold you back." ”

He also knew that if he could translate and publish Lin Han's book, his name would be printed on the cover of the English version, and it would be an honor and a real benefit in the eyes of millions of readers around the world.

"There is nothing that drags on, even if there are flaws in some places, we can slowly revise them. How long did Penguin give you time to translate?"

"Two months of translation, one month of revision, they want to get "The Three-Body Problem" on the market at the beginning of next year. ”

Lin Han is well aware of this plan, two months should be enough to translate a science fiction novel, and the Penguin Publishing Group does not want to translate shoddy and casual, as for the remuneration, the publishing group is responsible for it, and it is none of Lin Han's business.

Tempted by both directions, the budding science fiction writer and translator boarded Lin Han's thief ship in a daze. (To be continued.) )
