Many people have always had doubts about the literary nature and literary value of science fiction, and even think that science fiction literature does not exist at all. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Even foreigners recognized the literary value contained in the novel, and even the proud French put down their bodies, and they loved this science fiction novel deeply!

At the end of August, the French version of Lynn's The Matrix was released in France, Belgium and Canada, and the philosophical novel was also their favorite genre.

Originally, many literary scholars looked down on science fiction and felt that they could not be compared with their own literary genres, but this time after Lin Han won the award, there were even unsuccessful nominees who ridiculed the Goncourt Award for degenerating into a commercial award!

However, this jealous tone did not win him many sympathy points, but offended the judges of the Goncourt Prize, and it may be more difficult for him to win the prize in the future.

Lin Han, who returned to the car, hurriedly took out his mobile phone, his composure in the classroom before was just to maintain the teacher's face, in fact, he also wanted to celebrate!

Such a large-scale report should not be fake, after all, April Fool's Day has passed for almost half a year, but just in case, Lin Han still called his assistant Yan Hong to confirm it.

This time, the Goncourt Award far exceeds the Hugo Award in terms of weight, but the sensation caused is smaller, probably because people are used to seeing Lin Han create history and create brilliance.

When Lin Han won the Hugo Award for the first time, it can be said that the whole network celebrated, because this was a breakthrough from scratch, and winning the Goncourt Award was a breakthrough from 80 to 90!

This is a very remarkable hint to him, science fiction can indeed be favored by the traditional literary awards, and since the Goncourt Prize has recognized his success in the field of literature, is it possible to go further and impress the old guys at the Swedish Academy of Letters?

Lin Han has never felt that the Nobel Prize in Literature is so close to him, it used to be the kind that is out of reach, hanging high in the sky.

But after winning the Goncourt Prize, he got a ticket and officially joined the competition for the Nobel Prize in Literature!

Historically, the Nobel Prize in Literature has always been unconventional, it was awarded to Churchill, the most famous Churchill in Britain, and to the German historian Monsen, as well as three philosophers, Rudolph Oyken, Henry Bergson, Russell, and the musician Bob Dylan.

For most ordinary people and authors, the Nobel Prize in Literature carries a self-evident high-end and sacredness, and the Nobel Prize season in October every year always touches people's hearts!

Among the five awards of physics, chemistry, medicine, literature, and peace, the literature award will always be a well-deserved topic king, this award is getting closer and closer to us, but it is getting farther and farther away from the ideal.

The Nobel Prize in Literature has always been unexpected and unreasonable, maybe Lin Han may also win in chaos?

However, Lin Han's disadvantage is very obvious, that is, age!

The Nobel Prize in Literature has always been a lifetime achievement award, honoring writers who have made outstanding contributions to the field of literature, and only a few times it is awarded to works.

Not every award is the same as the Hugo Award, willing to give the Lifetime Achievement Award to a young man under the age of 30 so early!

Having won the award so early, what will happen in the next few decades?

Lin Han hurriedly stopped his cranky thoughts, the more he thought about it, the easier it was to be disappointed, and it was better to go with the flow.

……

In the post-production center of the film city, Lin Han walked towards the elevator with a crossbody bag on his back, he did not go home after class, but continued to come to the post-production of "The Matrix", and now most of the things are produced, only special effects and actors' dubbing are left.

"Director Lin, I just read the news that you won the award, congratulations!"

"The Goncourt Prize seems to be the highest award for French literature, Director Lin is amazing!"

"Director Lin, you are the one who holds the Nobel Prize in your left hand and the Oscar in your right hand, you really win glory for us!"

The rest of the people who were waiting for the elevator congratulated one after another, although they are in the film industry, they have a natural reverence for literature, perhaps because of the way of thinking left over from their student days, and they feel that they are very good at literary creation.

Lin Han waved his hand and said, "Thank you, thank you, you are all too exaggerated, don't kill me." ”

If he continues to tout like this, Lin Han feels that he is going to float!

After finally entering the editing room, he breathed a sigh of relief, he had to be comforted and ridiculed if he didn't win the award, and he had to be congratulated and praised after winning the award, which was not easy.

He forced himself into a state of serious work, and slowly began to cut the half-finished film of "The Matrix", trying to compress the time to about two hours!

This is the most suitable time to watch, if it is too long, the audience will get bored, and some things may be redundant, it is better to have a faster pace, and it is impossible for a sci-fi commercial blockbuster to be like a literary film.

It just so happened that the Goncourt Prize was going to the scene to receive the trophy and check, Lin Han originally planned to go to London, and it was also very close to Paris, France.

Negotiations between Galaxy Pictures and DreamWorks have also basically reached an agreement, and "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" will be co-financed by both parties, with Spielberg as the producer and director, and Disney as the distributor, with a total investment of up to $200 million.

Lin Han was also thinking about whether he was going to North America, so he simply signed the contract, otherwise let them come to China to sign the contract!

……

Three days later, in Paris, France, the Goncourt Jury handed over the 10 euro check to Linhan in front of reporters and numerous media outlets, along with the trophy.

"Lynn's Hyperion is an ambitious work, and its unique writing mode and excellent writing make it an insurmountable peak in the history of science fiction literature. This excellent work is full of poetry, not so much a novel as a long epic masterpiece!"

Bernard Pivo, president of the jury, praised the fact that "in France there are probably as many literary prizes as there are cheese types. We love good work, and we love to see good work win awards, even if it's science fiction. ”

Lin Han's acceptance speech was quite succinct, he looked at the check in his hand and said, "I want to dedicate this book to readers around the world who like science fiction." In fact, I have always been very interested in science fiction genres, it is just an ordinary category in the literary family, and it is not something else. Thanks to the Goncourt Prize for recognizing us, this is a great encouragement for young writers! Next year you may see a sequel to Hyperion, a series of four works. ”

In the prediction of the French "Book Weekly", Lin Han is not the favorite to win the award, even if "Hyperion" has won the highest award in the science fiction industry - the Hugo Award.

Over the years, there have been many works that have won the Hugo Award, but the only one that has won the literary award is "Hyperion"!

There is no doubt that this is a win-win situation for both literary honor and sales!

According to Galileo Publishing, the French version of Hyperion had sold 1.7 million copies before the award, and now it has sold another 200,000 copies in just a few days, thanks to the Goncourt Prize.

The French love this novel for its wonderful plot, deep thinking, and complex emotions.

You must know that the atmosphere of science fiction in France is quite strong, but most of the science fiction works here are hard and cold novels, and these science fiction writers advocate construction based on serious scientific arguments, requiring as rigorous as possible, and more rational beauty!

However, Lin Han's book is different, he combines scientific rationality with fantasy possibilities, philosophical speculation and poetic lyricism to create, which is just in line with the aesthetics of the French.

Among the world's top ten science fiction awards, the Jules Verne Award is the pride of the French science fiction community, the French love Verne, even more than 100 years after his death, there are countless commemorative activities, works in various forms of reprints, and even Verne's biographies and research works abound.

In addition to British and American science fiction, which occupies the mainstream of science fiction in the world, French science fiction is also a spiritual wealth that cannot be ignored!

It is precisely because of the sci-fi foundation laid by the predecessors that "Hyperion", a work full of complexity and philosophical, religious, and mythological connotations, can successfully reach the top, which can be regarded as the right time and place.

Lin Han carefully packed the check and put it in his backpack, although its face price was only 10 euros, but the hidden value behind it was far more than that!

Since he came to receive the award, he couldn't run the signing meeting, Lin Han saw that there were already many French readers queuing up outside with the French version of "Hyperion", which looked a bit similar to the domestic signing meeting.

"I hope there aren't so many people. ”

Lin Han prayed silently in his heart, he didn't know his signature, those foreigners couldn't read and understand the Chinese characters!

In the long line, there are not only blonde white beauties, but also black guys with swarthy white teeth and only neat white teeth, as well as Asians who look very kind, handsome guys and beauties, and even a few gray-haired old men.

Lin Han took the novel, wrote his name on it with a signature pen, and said a French merci (thank you), which he memorized according to Google pronunciation, and would say Bonjour (hello) or something.

"Child, don't change your creations because of our preferences, you should stick to yourself. This old man used not very fluent English to communicate with Lin Han, and he was very optimistic about Lin Han!

"I will, you'll see an even more exciting sequel next!" Lin Han said confidently, the name "The Fall of Hyperion" has not yet been announced, and he doesn't know if it will make readers full of worries in the future.

The signing effect in the afternoon was very good, the bookstore sold thousands of novels, and Galileo Press, of course, hoped that Lin Han could start a tour of the signing in France, but Lin Han said nothing and did not agree, and took the Eurostar high-speed train to London, England that night!
