Chapter 450: The President Has a Bad Face!
In fact, this is not the first time Lin Han has appeared on the White House petition network, he has repeatedly appeared on this website before, and has been spoofed by more and more netizens, true or fake!
The so-called White House Petition Network is an online political function opened by US President Barack Obama in 2011, and American citizens can submit petitions according to important issues of concern to them, and as long as the number of petitions reaches 100,000, then the Obama administration must respond. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
It was originally a very formal matter, but it was spoofed by netizens all over the world, forced to become a world policeman, and even became a "letter visit" for Chinese netizens!
Obama would never have imagined that the White House petition network he had built would become a wishing fountain for people all over the world, and people from all over the world would love to take care of the White House.
What makes this petition network really famous is hardly related to the United States itself, but often to some extremely parody things, such as 270,000 people petitioning to expel singer Justin Bieber from the United States, or demanding that the White House control the fraud in Malaysia's general election, or the persecution of a monk in Thailand.
The most closely related to Chinese netizens are the dispute between Chinese netizens about the tofu brain sweet and salty party, the sensational Zhu Ling poisoning case, and even Tianjin fans petitioning Obama to save the Tianjin TEDA football team......
Now Lin Han's fans have once again sent him to the petition network of the White House in the United States and Buckingham Palace in the United Kingdom, and it is estimated that those officials are speechless when they see Lin Han's name!
There are a lot of people watching the excitement, and domestic netizens quickly spread the screenshots, how can a sci-fi genius who has not been met in a hundred years be casually given to other countries, if you occasionally translate a few novels, it is still okay.
A few hours later, the White House official also officially replied on the petition website: "We cannot make any kind of urging a writer to create." Mr. President, I would also like to see "Hyperion", please be patient!"
In fact, netizens all over the world did not have the luxury of expecting any positive response, after all, these messy petitions on the petition network are usually sent away by diplomatic rhetoric, either "no right to interfere in the judiciary" or "temporarily unable to comment" or "try to promote progress" and "stay tuned".
The petition that was obviously a mischievous spoof could get such an official reply, not only the person who initiated the petition, but even the onlookers who went to second the petition were dumbfounded, this is completely differential treatment!
This can't help but remind people of the release of "The Three-Body Problem" last year, when Obama seemed to have publicly stated that he was a fan of Lin Han's "The Three-Body Problem", no wonder he would attach so much importance to petitions related to Lin Han.
And for many people, the president's approval is quite useful, he actually recognized Lin Han as a writer, and he became a writer with science fiction at a young age, which may make many people lose their teeth!
Overseas netizens on Twitter exclaimed one by one, since the president wants to see "Hyperion", then simply go and urge it officially!
"OMG, I forgot that Mr. Obama is also a science fiction lover, and he also loves Lin. ”
"The Chinese students in our school have all gone from marginal characters to the most popular, even surpassing the cheerleaders and rugby teams, but unfortunately their translation level is not satisfactory, but they are very satisfied. ”
"God, why isn't Lin us Americans? I love his novels to death!"
"I heard that this novel is very wonderful, but I have only studied Chinese for a year and I don't know those words. ”
"Can't wait to see this book, when will it be available in English?"
"I have read it seriously since his first novel, and now I only hate myself for not being Chinese!"
These comments made Chinese netizens laugh happily, in the past, they were all envious of others, but now feng shui takes turns, and finally it is the turn of others to envy themselves, look at what you Yankees are still angry about.
As these tweeters said, nerds, who have always been excluded, are especially popular whenever Lin Han releases a new book, and talking about Lin Han's science fiction has become a lubricant for international students to integrate into foreign life!
When you don't know what to talk about, it's right to talk about "The Three-Body Problem", talk about "Inception" or sigh about "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy", not to mention that there are a lot of people waiting for them to dictate the novel that Lin Han is serializing in simple language.
Those who can study abroad are basically not bad, whether they like Lin Han or not, most of them have to pretend to be, and even the gifts brought to Europe and the United States by returning to China during the summer vacation are some of Lin Han's peripherals in China, such as posters or commemorative dolls or Marven dolls!
These gadgets are inexpensive, but they can be liked in a whole way, so that they don't end up in a locker or trash can at a glance.
Looking at the comments of these netizens, domestic netizens are very proud, you actually have such a day!
……
The petition is clearly not over yet, as the outgoing president Obama appeared on ABC's late-night talk show "The Jimmy Feather Show," which attracted more than 4 million viewers, surpassing "Embarrassing Stuto" and "The Late-Night Show with Letterman"!
Jimmy Canmore, dressed in a suit, chatted with Obama on TV: "Mr. President, we noticed that a few months ago there were more than 300,000 people petitioning to let you participate in the talk show, is that now the goal accomplished?"
The gray-haired Obama looked much haggard, and a smile appeared on his swarthy face, "Yes, I'm here." You've seen me on the talk show!"
"This is certainly good news for Americans who are participating in the petition, but I was browsing the White House petition website yesterday and accidentally found someone who wanted to see the English version of Lyndham's new book Hyperion, do you know the White House's reply?"
Sitting on the couch, Obama raised an eyebrow and said, "Of course I do, because that's what I replied." We should be patient with writers, shouldn't we?"
The 200 or so audience in the studio exclaimed and applauded appropriately, and the atmosphere was just right!
Jimmy Canmore is a very good talk show host, so it's quite tacit, "Really?
"100% true, he's the writer I've liked in recent years, and maybe you should check it out. ”
"I'll go to the bookstore tomorrow and he piqued my curiosity. Jimmy Canmore went on to say, "Mr. President, what kind of novels do you choose when you want to empty your brain?"
The smile on Obama's face never stopped, "My answer is: Don't answer! Don't answer! Don't answer!"
Jimmy Canmore didn't seem to understand what was going on, but the audience stood up and applauded, and anyone who hadn't read Linhan's novel wouldn't understand the feeling.
When the domestic video website updated this issue of "Jimmy's Chicken Feather Show", netizens were almost shocked when they saw this, Ao Guanhai is really a die-hard fan of Lin Han!
After Obama said this, the originally sparse barrage suddenly rose wildly, and there were too many diving parties!
"2333, Comrade Ao Guanhai loves "The Three-Body Problem" deeply!"
"I don't forget to recommend this book on the talk show, how much he likes "The Three-Body Problem"......"
"Mr. Lin is amazing, the real protagonist of this issue of the chicken feather show is completely him!"
"Did you see Jimmy's face? He doesn't seem to understand this. ”
"Don't answer, don't answer, don't answer! Americans fight so many aliens in movies every year, and they are still afraid of contact with aliens?"
Although there are a lot of complaints, but the show has to continue, Jimmy Canmore frowned and replied: "Sorry, I didn't understand what the hell was going on, why didn't you answer?"
When it comes to his favorite books, Obama can't stop at all, "This is a sentence in the science fiction novel "The Three-Body Problem", a kind three-body man asked the earthlings not to answer. ”
The rest of their chat was almost entirely focused on the book, and in Obama's eyes, the three-body world was full of wild imagination and was very interesting. He even laughed and said that before the fate of the entire universe, his daily quarrel with the Congress seemed very petty, and it was not even worth mentioning!
"Aliens are going to invade Earth, what could be more important?"
is obviously a person who is about to step down, but Obama is still a powerful fan, and he has gained the favor of many netizens in China on the other side of the Pacific.
"Comrade Guanhai has a good taste, this is completely a small book recommendation meeting!"
Jimmy definitely wanted Higu in his heart, and he invited the president not to recommend a new book, but to pull ratings. ”
"The Three-Body Problem is mighty, raising the prestige of our country, and shocking the Quartet!"
"Being in Cao Ying's heart is in Han, Ao Guanhai is really our good comrade, and he didn't forget to help Mr. Lin publicize in the United States. ”
There are many highlights of a talk show with only more than 20 minutes in an episode, and netizens can't stop complaining at all, too many people appear in the barrage at the same time, and the barrage at different times are intertwined, completely covering Obama's face!
At this time, the words "high-energy warning ahead" kept drifting over, which made netizens who had just entered the video extremely nervous, whenever there was a high-energy warning, there would always be something big happening, but what could a talk show have worth warning?
In order not to be spoiled, and also to be able to see the real content clearly, many people choose to temporarily block the barrage and see the specific content.
Sure enough, Obama did not disappoint netizens, and the black president said to Jimmy Canmore: "You must know that the president's job is actually very boring, and I usually prefer to watch science fiction." About a year ago, when "Three-Body Problem 1" had just been released in North America, and I fell in love with the novel, so I asked the secretary of the White House to email Lin Han to ask him for the second and third parts of the English version. ”
"How's it going?" said Jimmy's eyes widened, waiting for the rest of the story.
As a result, Lin Han thought it was spam and deleted it, until the Ministry of Foreign Affairs came to me to help me get the English version. But in fact, I didn't see the English version of the next two parts in advance, and I was just as anxious as everyone else!"
Obama said with a smile on his face, his expression helpless.
In fact, he did once again contribute another classic expression to the emoji industry, and many netizens are using this emoji with text: "I may be a fake president", "The baby is bitter", "What does this president want you to do!"
Netizens were amused by Obama's words, this is the feeling that Lin Han brought to the President of the United States, even if you are the president, it is useless!
……
Videos of Mr. Obama participating in a talk show have not only become popular on YouTube, but have also received more than 80 million views on Chinese video sites, and counting.
There has been a lot of news that Obama is a die-hard sci-fi fan, and now he finds that people actually love "The Three-Body Problem" and want to see the latest chapter of "Hyperion"!
Chen Jiaxuan, who was packing her luggage, prepared the dresses of the two, and then refreshed them with her mobile phone, she and Lin Han will fly to Venice tomorrow to prepare for the screening of "The Martian".
"My dear, Obama really loves you, he said on the surface that literary things can't be urged, but the show talks about you almost the whole time. Why don't you find the time to get an English version of Hyperion so that readers overseas can also feel the shock?"
At this time, Lin Han had also finished preparing the manuscript, and he had sent the story of the poet in the third chapter to the draft box of Weibo, and set a regular release for it.
After hearing Chen Jiaxuan's words, he said: "The English version must be made, the background of this novel is mainly in Europe and the United States, and few people in China know Keats or Hyperion." But I definitely can't be distracted now, and I'll write the Chinese version and translate it slowly. ”
Chen Jiaxuan handed him a strawberry, and he chuckled twice, "You also know that if you are afraid of being distracted, readers will be afraid that you will be distracted by going to the Venice Film Festival, and you will not be able to write a novel with peace of mind." ”
"So I'm not going to write it, but now I'm just writing it and releasing it on a regular basis, but I'm afraid that I won't be able to write well when the time comes. Lin Han said confidently, "As for the petition, just take a look, anyway, the popularity of "The Three-Body Problem" is quite high, and no one will say that I bought the President of the United States to advertise for me." ”
"How do you know no, all kinds of bizarre remarks abound on the Internet. ”
Lin Han closed the computer, you have to bring a laptop to Venice, there are always some things that need to use the computer, I just hope that this time the past will have a good result.
The Best Screenplay Award at the Venice Film Festival is not necessarily more high-end than the Hugo Award and the Nebula Award, but this is already Lin Han's lingering obsession, who let him encounter that kind of situation when he just crossed over.
After coming out of the film circle in despair and mixing in the literary circle to the point where he is now, he wants to announce his return with a trophy from the Venice Film Festival!
