"Some works of literature do not attract the reader through the plot, but by depicting a novel and strange world. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info recently has a science fiction novel about life, politics and war in a two-dimensional world, and it's called "Plane Country".

Its imagination and popular explanation open the door to thinking for us ordinary people, after which, if you are willing to think about the dimension, you can think, and if you are willing to think about life, you can do it casually. A good book is one that gives us the problems we need and are willing to solve.

The novel is not finished but it is a great shock, and the current chapters of the whole book are all about introducing the rationality of this two-dimensional flat country, involving two-dimensional identification, men, women, the composition of different classes, and all aspects of life, showing the integrity of the entire flat country.

In particular, there is a clear exposition of the means of rule of the upper class, and there is an extremely profound description of the roles played by different classes and their limitations!

It is said that dragons give birth to dragons and phoenixes, and sons born to mice will make holes. The son born of the square is a pentagon, and the son born of the pentagon is a hexagon, which is passed down from generation to generation, and will always become a circle!

But isosceles triangles do not enjoy this kind of treatment, they are the lowest level of the flat country, the least favored class, if they can give birth to an equilateral triangle, it is the focus of the whole society.

This is like a scholar from a poor family who has a glorious ancestor, and the sarcasm is too tricky!

What surprised me the most was that Lin Han gave up his science fiction novels, which could make money and earn fame, and put his own creation in the field of popular science novels, such a calm young writer is rare in the impetuous business era.

In order to explore the origin of the world, many exciting theories have been born, which can be seen in the popular science works of scientists. You have to thank these scientists, whose work is not inferior to science fiction, and only requires you to have a knowledge of science in junior high school.

In our country, the popularization of science is far from enough, and if you look at our television, newspapers, periodicals, and books, the proportion of popular science occupies a pitifully small proportion.

Although CCTV has a science and education channel, the so-called "Approaching Science" program is miserable, and it has been judged by netizens for comedy, thriller, suspense and spoof!

Another good popular science film "Song of the Forest" was arranged at midnight, which child was still watching TV at that time?

I thought that China's original popular science novels had entered a bottleneck, but now that Lin Han's addition is exciting, we have reason to believe that "Flat Country" will be an excellent popular science novel, whether it is best to let time test!"

This is a comment written on his blog by the famous popular science writer Cao Tianyuan, the author of the best-selling popular science novel "Does God Roll the Dice: A History of Quantum Physics", which is known as China's "A Brief History of Time".

Cao Tianyuan and Lin Han have never met, but it does not prevent them from having been friends for a long time, and the praise of Lin Han by this post-80s popular science writer can be seen between the lines!

Readers have basically figured out one thing, "Flat Country" is indeed not science fiction, but popular science fiction!

……

In the study, Lin Han was originally concentrating on writing the follow-up content of "Plane Country", but a restless little guy sneaked in.

Chai Chai has grown up a lot compared to the pet store before, it curiously pushed open the door of the study with its head, then sniffed with its nose, and walked to Lin Han's chair with its calves.

These days, Lin Han takes it outside, and the food arrangement and even the bath are all hands-on, so the little guy slowly gets acquainted with him!

Now Chai Chai bit Lin Han's trouser leg with his teeth, dragged his body out, and then released his mouth and began to scream.

"Don't worry, it's raining outside, wait for the rain to stop before going out!"

Lin Han bent down and touched its head, and then used his fingers to sort out the hair on Chai Chai's body, he didn't want to go for a walk in the rain.

However, Chai Chai didn't understand these at all, it jumped around in place excitedly, and ran towards the stairs with his calves, and it didn't notice it in the excitement, and his whole body fell down from the top of the stairs as soon as he stepped into the air!

"What a stupid ......"

Chen Jiaxuan couldn't help but cover his face, Chai Chai fell down the stairs not once or twice, but it didn't have a long memory, but regarded this as a fun thing, and it didn't hurt anyway.

Lin Han stood at the top of the stairs and said with a smile: "Fortunately, we laid out the carpet, otherwise it would have been guilty!"

"Have you finished writing your novel?" Chen Jiaxuan, holding a bowl of fruit salad in one hand and a fork in the other, had just finished her yoga at home and began to eat.

"I'm pretty much done, I'll check the content for the next week and send it to the reference message. ”

Chen Jiaxuan took a small bite of the apple, and she continued: "I forgot to tell you that "Immortality" was officially released in the United States today, but there are only 58 theaters in North America for the time being, and the box office performance may not be good. ”

Lin Han walked down the stairs slowly, Chen Jiaxuan cooperated very well to pick up a small piece of banana with a fork, Lin Han directly opened his mouth and ate it, it seemed to be a very normal thing for couples to feed each other.

"We have made enough money in the domestic market, and it is very good to be able to release it in North America, it doesn't matter how much box office it has!"

"That's just as well. Chen Jiaxuan thought about it carefully and understood, she was just raised by the domestic box office, and a movie that can harvest hundreds of millions of yuan in China landed in North America, and her expectations are actually not low.

However, "Immortality" is not "The Martian" after all, although it is adapted from the work of the same author, although it is starring the same actor, it cannot be expected that their box office will be consistent.

Lin Han and the two came to the floor-to-ceiling window of the living room, Chai Chai looked at the raindrops outside with a longing expression, and his whole body was attached to the glass, eager to rush out to play in the water!

Chen Jiaxuan looked at Chai Chai's appearance, and she pushed Lin Han with her hand: "Just let it go out to play, maybe it hasn't rained so much." It's a big deal to take a hot shower immediately when you come back from playing, and it's good to have a long experience. ”

Chai Chai couldn't wait to lie on the glass, and the breath coming out of his mouth made the glass in front of him a layer of moisture.

After Lin Han thought about it, he clapped his hands and picked up an umbrella by himself, because Chai Chai was developing, they didn't prepare a special dog raincoat umbrella or rain boots at home!

Pushing open the door to the backyard of the villa, Chai Chai ran out excitedly like a wild horse, the original orange hair stepped down immediately after coming into contact with the raindrops, and Chai Chai's whole body looked like a big circle of thin.

On the lawn in the backyard, some small green grass just emerged with water droplets, Chai Chai walked all the way over curiously, and excitedly patted the water droplets hanging on the blades of grass with his front paws!

Lin Han stood silently with an umbrella and recorded it with video when it was so happy, and after playing for a while, it probably felt bored, so it began to desperately shake the hair on its body, throwing water droplets everywhere.

Although he was playing on a rainy day, Lin Han would not let Chai Chai run around, just in his yard, fortunately, the grass here was not dirty, so Chai Chai could still see people!

But after a while of playing outside, the little one hurried back into the room, his wet paws leaving a series of watermarks from the carpet to the couch.

Chen Jiaxuan had already prepared to grab it with a towel, "Let's go, let's go to the bathroom and bathe it." It had just rained, so take a hot shower so that it wouldn't catch a cold. ”

Lin Han quickly rolled up his sleeves and took the firewood that was constantly struggling.

……

Weekends always pass quickly, and when a new week comes, Lin Han and the others' attention returns to "Immortality".

According to rough statistics, the box office of "Immortality" in the first three days of North America reached $1.02 million, with an average revenue of $20,000 per movie theater, which is a very good result!

Even the first weekend of many Hollywood literary films is at this level, so Lin Han and Weinstein Pictures are quite satisfied.

As a science fiction film written and directed by Lin Han, his readers in the United States also spontaneously promoted it, and often science fiction lovers in a city team up to watch it, so the box office of a single theater is so high, and it will not be able to maintain this level after the expansion of screenings!

After the first weekend, the relevant scores of "Immortality" on several major foreign authoritative websites have also been released, and the professional film reviews have reached an astonishing 82 points, with a total of 11 media giving film reviews, of which 9 have given positive reviews, 1 has given medium reviews, 1 has given negative reviews, and the popcorn index on Rotten Tomatoes has also reached 95%!

"Entertainment Weekly" gave a perfect score of 100, "Lin Han's novel skills are very deep, and the actors' performances are also very convincing, this is a science fiction movie that makes people think." ”

The New York Times gave it a score of 95, "Immortality is not an ordinary science fiction movie, we don't see any special effects here, the protagonist of the novel uses dialogue after dialogue to get the audience lost, and the final plot is terrifying." ”

The Hollywood Reporter also gave it a score of 95, "This is 'Ghost Record' at the Chinese box office, and it's said to cost less than $20,000 to make, but it already has 80 million in the Chinese market! ”

The only negative review came from The Washington Post, which gave the movie a score of 55, "To be honest, this sci-fi film makes people want to sleep, who cares who the people in the protagonist's mouth are? ”

On IMDB, "Immortality" has received strong praise from the audience, and it has only been released for three days with more than 1,000 evaluations, and the rating has also come to the 8.4 position, if you maintain this position, and if there are enough reviews, you can still try to hit the top 250 position!

Paul, a young man from the Windy City of Chicago in the United States, wrote: "This is a serious movie, the ending is quite wonderful, and the cut-ins of a lot of historical events keep your mind on your feet at all times, because they come quickly and urgently." Highly recommend this movie, you need to concentrate your mind to fully appreciate it, and it will even split your faith and outlook on life!"

Catherine, a girl from Seattle, thinks "no one with judgment should miss this movie, it's the most unusual movie I've seen so far, and you're going to think it's worth the dollar." ”

Green, from New York, using "Fantastic!" as the title, said, "It's not the best sci-fi movie, but it has to be the best screenplay." This movie reminds me of the history of a long time ago, and I really want to get to know this amazing oriental country seriously. Even if the movie is two hours away, I won't get bored. It's like watching a drama with a perfect and surprising ending. If you've cast a spaceship or a big bang, I recommend watching this movie. ”

In fact, Xu Jiayan's immortal character has also been unanimously praised, especially the actor of "The Martian" he played two months ago only appeared on the big screen, and these two completely different characters were performed by him Shen Yun!

Due to the good box office in the first weekend, Weinstein Pictures and the theater chain naturally began to expand gradually, but this is not a blind increase in one go, but gradually expanded, and this week 125 theaters in North America began to release "Immortal"!

However, this week, the Super Bowl, which is known as the North American Spring Festival Gala, is coming, so the box office of the movie will naturally be strongly impacted, and many new films will avoid this time period.

After the North American box office list was announced in the new week, many people didn't find a new film called "Immortal" in it at all, after all, it was not the champion and runner-up, and there seemed to be no bright spots at all.

But the editor of Time.com must translate the box office rankings of this issue and release it as news.

When he wrote down the Chinese names of the previous fourteen movies, he found that the name of the fifteenth looked somewhat familiar, and after checking the details of the movie, he found out that this was "Immortality", which achieved the biggest counterattack in the Spring Festival!

"I'm going, "Immortality" actually quietly landed in the North American market, and it also got more than one million US dollars at the box office in the first weekend, which is more powerful than many domestic blockbusters!"

This editor couldn't help but sigh with emotion, the originally uneventful box office summary suddenly exploded, which is definitely eye-catching!

So a few minutes later, Weibo's users who followed Time.com immediately received a message push: ""Immortality" landed in North America, making a net profit of one million dollars in three days!"

Originally, its title was supposed to be this week's North American box office roundup, but for the sake of Lin Han and "Immortality", the name was simply changed directly, in order to attract attention!
