[Subscriptions have plummeted in the past two days, and please continue to support the genuine version, thank you~]
Backstage, Lin Han sat on a chair and asked the makeup artist to smear on his face, because of the lighting and camera, he would look a little more energetic, and by the way, he also tidied up his hairstyle. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Lin Han wore the Armani ready-to-wear suit that Chen Jiaxuan matched for him, which directly saved the funds of the program team, he looked at the people in the mirror, and said to the unfamiliar makeup artist: "I think I can watch that kind of business war TV series, what do you think?"
"Mr. Lin, don't cross borders, writing novels is much more comfortable than being an actor. ”
The make-up artist is cleaning up her bottles and jars, and men don't need to be painted like female celebrities.
At this time, the mild-mannered Zhu Jun walked over with a script, he looked no different from the TV, "Xiaolin, this is the scope of what we will talk about today, if there is any problem, tell me in advance, I will try not to involve that aspect." ”
Lin Han took this piece of paper, but it only listed a few general aspects, and there was no specific problem, anyway, he didn't have anything that he couldn't say, so he readily agreed: "It's okay, any field can be." ”
"It's almost time, you're ready to play, and I'm looking forward to your performance. ”
"I'm a little nervous, fortunately this is not a live broadcast, and Teacher Zhu Jun will be merciful when the time comes!"
Zhu Jun is also a writer, but part-time, he has written a book called "Always Ready", "My Zero Hour" and "Zhu Jun's Screen Story", as a host, he has performed sketches, made music, recited poetry, and held art exhibitions, which can be regarded as an all-round person.
Such a person who has a background and has been a writer can better understand Lin Han's difficulty, when the time came to two o'clock in the afternoon, the fans in the audience waiting area began to enter under the leadership of the staff.
With so many viewers, many of them came to CCTV's studio for the first time, and they not only brought Lin Han's book, but also made banners and posters!
This is not CCTV invited to watch the play, but genuine fans, and there are even people who flew over from the sea just to see Lin Han from afar, of course, it would be even better if they could get an autograph.
lined up one after another to find his position, Zhu Haitao turned off the flashing light of his mobile phone as required, because he was the first batch of people to sign up, so the position was very high, and he could clearly see the stage in front of him.
Shouldering the heavy responsibility of live broadcasting pictures and texts for many netizens who could not come to the scene of the Hanlin Academy, Zhu Haitao even gritted his teeth and bought 5G traffic before, so as not to be enough!
After the audience entered, the staff of the rest of the CCTV columns also sneaked in quietly by virtue of their work, some of them sat behind the audience, some hid behind the camera, and even some brought their own stools, and even many people sat in the aisle on one side.
Lin Han's attraction was unimaginable, and the director on the scene took the microphone to explain to the audience what to pay attention to during the recording before using the headset to say to the staff behind him: "Now start the countdown, 3, 2, 1, start shooting!"
Accompanied by lights and music, Zhu Jun, dressed in a black suit, appeared first, wearing a purple tie, with a mature and capable image. As a person who has hosted the Spring Festival Gala for 15 years, he is very familiar to the audience, so Lin Han's group of fans are also very excited and began to applaud and scream, giving enough face.
He is one of the most popular Chinese best-selling authors, who has sold more than 20 million copies of his novels worldwide at a young age, including "I, Robot", "Three-Body Problem", "Jurassic Park", "The Martian" and so on. He is also a poet and has written popular poems such as "Seeing and Not Seeing", "You Are the April Day in the World", and "When You Are Old". At the same time, he is also a young director who has filmed the sci-fi blockbuster "Out of the Solar System". His speech was popular on university campuses, and he was once favored by academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences for his speeches, so he joined the Mars project team of the China Space Administration. He was the first person to appear in the English edition of Nature magazine, and he single-handedly brought Chinese science fiction literature to a world-class position! At the same time, he donated science fiction to more than 1,000 colleges and universities around the world, truly fulfilling the responsibility of disseminating science fiction!
With his pen and forge ahead, Lin Han used his hands to condense the fantasies in his mind into words and convey them to the hearts of readers. His multiple identities, his many achievements, this is Lin Han, known as the master of science fiction in contemporary China!"
Zhu Jun's opening remarks were very weighty, summing up the bits and pieces of Lin Han, which made the audience realize that Lin Han was by no means an ordinary science fiction writer, he was very good and worthy of liking!
The crackling applause rang out, Zhu Haitao's face was swollen red with excitement, Lin Han was the best!
After hearing these compliments and the warm welcome of the readers, Lin Han took a deep breath in the passage, and then slowly walked onto the stage, only to see that the spacious studio was densely packed with audiences.
said that there were only five hundred, but counting the staff of the column group and the rest of the CCTV people who sneaked in, I am afraid that there are six or seven hundred people, and so many people's eyes are on Lin Han.
Lin Han looked at the venue here while walking, although it was a large studio that was temporarily replaced, but the decoration was still very beautiful, the audience was concentrated on the opposite side of the stage, on the left side of the stage was a piano, and above it was the four big words of "artistic life" made of beads, a round table and two chairs were placed in the center of the venue, and the big screen on the right was playing Lin Han's photo, as well as the words "Happy Reading Life".
After shaking hands with Zhu Jun, Lin Han greeted the audience, and the microphone pinned to the collar of his shirt accurately transmitted the sound to the ears of everyone on the scene, "Thank you, thank you." ”
"In the introduction just now, I myself was scared by you, you have achieved so much at such a young age, do you feel proud and satisfied now?"
"Sometimes I feel a little proud, but I'm not satisfied, because I know there's a lot more I can do. I can retire and travel now, but I don't want to do that for decades to come. ”
Zhu Jun smiled, and he continued: "The first time I knew your name was from a colleague, who held your novel called "The Martian" in his spare time. Then I heard that you won the Hugo Award, and now you are nominated for the Nebula Award, and each of these is making history, congratulations!"
"Actually, the award is secondary, I just want more people to see these novels, and my personal honor is not important. But I'll be happy if I win the prize, after all, I have a display case at home that is not yet full. Lin Han shrugged his shoulders, his heart was a little big, he wanted to put the Nobel Prize in Literature trophy in it, and he also wanted to add the Oscar statuette to the collection list.
Lin Han behaved very realistically, he said whatever he wanted, and did not deliberately create an image, anyway, readers liked his novels, not him as a person.
"I read your new book, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, and I laughed so hard that my face hurt a little. How did you come up with the idea of writing such a humorous science fiction novel?"
"For a long time, a lot of people thought that science fiction was rigorous and boring, but it can also be fun and not so serious. Science fiction is not equal to popular science, they are all fantasy works, and it is certainly good to amuse everyone. ”
Zhu Jun then asked, "I heard that you have finished writing the novel "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy", I think the audience here and in front of the TV are very curious, you are writing the novel too fast, is there any secret to this?"
This can be asked Lin Han, the reason why he wrote so quickly is because of the reference of the original work, he himself is just making revisions, and the revision must be much faster than writing.
"Maybe everyone is different, many people who write online novels have to write 10,000 words a day, and I'm far worse than them. Lin Han can't tell the actual situation, this is his biggest secret.
"It's written quickly and well, so do you have any new book plans after The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, can you briefly tell us about it?"
The audience at the scene also pricked up their ears one by one to listen, and no one would dislike Lin Han's new book.
"The new book is still in the works, and it may be a space opera, which has not been written before. Now all kinds of science fiction have to be simply tried. "Lin Han really hasn't decided what to write later, there are too many good works, and now after compressing the number of works every year, we must work quality.
Space-opera refers to the main genre of science fiction movies and science fiction literature with the theme of space travel. They feature epic works that set the stage of legendary adventures in outer space, and these types of novels are usually set in a huge galactic empire or a complex alien culture, and the plot is a mix of action and adventure, and it is a true romance of cosmic heroes!
An important criterion for distinguishing whether a space-themed science fiction work is a space opera is whether it is strictly based on astronomy, physics, and aerospace knowledge.
If all the plots of a science fiction novel are based on existing astronomy and astronautical technology, then it is an ordinary science fiction work with a space theme. For example, Lin Han's "The Martian" is like this, a hard science fiction written based on the technology that exists in reality.
In space opera, space is just a place for adventure, and the existing scientific knowledge is not a shackle that limits people's imagination, and many of the most vibrant works are carried out in the form of space opera.
A typical space opera novel is "The Legend of the Galactic Heroes", and in terms of movies, the two major series of "Star Wars" and "Star Trek" are also representatives, and "Alien Series" or something is also included in it.
Because of its "sense of history", space opera often compares the future to history, so there are always people who think that this is not really science fiction. For the sake of drama and storytelling, they use history as a blueprint to set the technology and natural cosmology needed for the story, which are not necessarily based on solid scientific research.
This type of novel, film and television works are usually more optimistic than other types of science fiction novels, and the scenes and spirit are more majestic, which will inspire human beings to care about and explore space!
In the past, space opera was actually a derogatory term, meaning vulgar science fiction, but after the evolution of time, this became a neutral word.
Although the variety of science fiction works is much richer than before, and the public's taste has gradually become tricky, the sentence "My journey is the sea of stars" still attracts the attention of readers.
Lin Han used to love this type of sci-fi movie, from "2001: A Space Odyssey" to the large-scale comedy "Guardians of the Galaxy", from "Star Wars" to "Dune", "Out of Tranquility", "Firefly", and even played games like "Mass Effect" carefully.
One of the most important elements of space opera is space travel, and The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is barely one of the best.
There are a lot of such works in his memory, so no matter which book he takes out at that time, it will not be inferior, and the novels that can be remembered by Lin Han's mind are definitely classics!
Many readers at the scene actually didn't understand the concept of space opera, so Lin Han simply spent two minutes briefly introducing it, just to popularize the common sense of science fiction for everyone.
Zhu Jun nodded as if he didn't understand, and he began to lead the topic to the rest of the topics, "We know that Lin Han, you are still a graduate of the directing department, and you have filmed science fiction films like "Out of the Solar System". You've also worked on the screenplays for The Martian and Jurassic Park, so have you ever thought about returning to your directorial role?"
"Of course I thought about it, and in fact I plan to do so. Where you fall, you can get up, there will always be science fiction movies, and you may make a movie first to find a feeling, which is still in the plan. ”
Everyone including Zhu Jun was taken aback by Lin Han, they all thought that Lin Han had been bitten by a snake for ten years and was afraid of the well rope, and he had fallen so much in the film industry before, and now he has to go back, he is looking forward to it!
Zhu Haitao knew that if this news was released, it would definitely cause a sensation, and Lin Han personally promised to make another science fiction movie, and those Internet blacks would definitely be high for a while!
Everyone knows that Lin Han is an extremely good writer, but the director's skills don't seem to be lit up, even if Lin Han has released the director's cut of the movie "Out of the Solar System", but the deep-rooted impression is difficult to reverse all of a sudden.
It is precisely because of the valuable director's cut that the movie's Douban score has slowly risen from 3.8 to 6.1, barely crossing the passing line, and many people who have seen it know that Lin Han's directing skills are not as bad as the news says! )
