Chapter 364: A Strange Guinness World Record
Originally, Lin Han had already begun to rub his hands and be eager to try, but when he heard it, he knew that he would have to wait for the Hollywood special effects company to send the finished special effects footage, and he immediately let out a sigh of relief.

"Why do you have to wait for everything......"
Whether it is the long-awaited Nebula Awards or the World Science Fiction Convention, every time it is a good news to whet Lin Han's appetite, it will take a few months to tell him the results, and now it is necessary to edit a trailer!
Lin Han couldn't help but sigh, he suppressed his disappointment, and participated in the finalization ceremony with a smiling face, and the three-month filming of "The Martian" ended here.
There are a lot of salutes, champagne flowers, and all kinds of singing at dinners, Lin Han is actually not very familiar with the crew, he left the scene early after eating, leaving the excitement to those hard-working staff.
So many reporters have come to interview, and the news of the day naturally belongs to the crew of "The Martian" without reservation, and even the daily movie broadcast of CCTV Movie Channel took more than five minutes to introduce this domestic sci-fi blockbuster!
Smelling of alcohol, it was only eight o'clock in the evening when Lin Han returned home, Chen Jiaxuan was playing games with an iPad at this time, and after she smelled the breath, she said disgustedly: "Go take a bath, this smell is bad to death!"
"I didn't actually drink much, so I symbolically raised a glass with everyone to celebrate, and few people dared to pour me wine. ”
Lin Han's identity and status are over there, he is not a small screenwriter of the crew who has no status, whether it is in terms of popularity or net worth, the rest of the crew is completely popular, although the identity of the writer is not valuable, but the social recognition is high, and everyone respects it very much.
Chen Jiaxuan didn't raise her head, she stared at the screen non-stop, and threw herself into it, "Anyway, you just go take a shower and change your clothes." ”
Lin Han took off his clothes and threw them in the basket on the side of the washing machine, went to the cabinet to find underwear and clean clothes, and then honestly went to the bathroom to wash away the smell of alcohol on his body.
Ten minutes later, he sat down beside Chen Jiaxuan refreshed, the cool night breeze in May blew in from the windowsill, Chen Jiaxuan habitually leaned on Lin Han, she said distressedly: "How can I pass this 660 level? I've been stuck here for almost half an hour, and I have to charge money to buy props!"
Lin Han took the peeled grapefruit on the coffee table on one side into his hand, and after breaking off a small piece of grapefruit meat, he wanted to stuff it into his mouth, but he glanced at Chen Jiaxuan, who was frowning and complaining, and this hand turned a corner directly and handed it to her mouth.
To put it mildly, making love is the most intimate behavior between couples, but the interesting thing is that making love does not mean that the relationship is good, but it can be fed differently.
Feeding is not as intimate as making love, but it is indeed a reflection of good or bad feelings.
Chen Jiaxuan didn't think much about it, opened her mouth and bit the piece of grapefruit meat, and then ate it happily.
Lin Han continued to peel it up casually, the behavior just now was already the norm for the two of them, and after he handed a piece of grapefruit meat to Chen Jiaxuan, he leaned over and looked at the screen.
After carefully observing the ice cubes, venom and animal heads, he said, "Let me try it, maybe I can pass the level without props." ”
"Can you? It's only 32 moves, and you've never played this game before. ”
"I don't think you should just empty all the venom, it's going to be harder. And this conveyor belt is quite interesting, you can try to eliminate the venom when it starts to spread. Eliminate the top layer of the Snow Block so that the Mana Bird can be swapped. ”
Under the light, the two stared at the screen intently, and eliminated it step by step, and after a minute, Chen Jiaxuan laughed excitedly: "It's really over, I can't see that you are quite powerful." ”
Lin Han doesn't think this is an achievement, just having fun and having fun, this is to be happy, not to blindly pass the test.
Recently, the two of them can be said to be blending oil in honey, and their relationship is getting better and better, and they can't wait to stick together all the time!
……
At three o'clock in the morning, Lin Han opened his eyes tiredly and looked at the time of his mobile phone, last night was another night of madness, and the young man seemed to have no moderation, and he didn't want to stop at all.
The sun shone in the room, and occasionally when she looked up, she could see the dust floating in the air, Chen Jiaxuan turned over, turned her back to the sun and continued to sleep, "Dear, turn off the lights!"
"It's not a lamp, it's the sun. Lin Han said while dressing, the time to get up early and run every day was missed.
"Then turn off the sun, it's so dazzling, I want to sleep!"
After speaking, Chen Jiaxuan pulled the quilt to her head again and covered the whole person, she curled up like a silkworm baby, leaving only her hair exposed.
Lin Han came to the window, he took a look at the outside community and closed the curtains, while he was preparing to forage for food.
There is nothing that takeaway can't solve these days, so he simply indulged himself and ordered a KFC package, after all, he needed to replenish some calories.
While waiting for the arrival of the takeaway, while turning on the computer, he habitually logged in to the mailbox to check his email, the English version of "Bouquet for Algernon" has been checked, and the proofreading and translation of the rest of the version are underway.
Before he could refresh Weibo, he saw Li Wenyuan chatting privately with himself on QQ.
"Finally saw you online, come and help me, I've been so anxious in the last two days that I don't know what to do. ”
This surprised Lin Han, but he also knew that the matter might not be serious, if it was serious, Li Wenyuan would have contacted him by text message or phone call, and he typed and asked unhurriedly: "What's wrong, let's listen to it in detail." ”
Li Wenyuan posted a tortured expression that came with the system, "It's not for the idea of a new book, I'm not you, it's not half a year, and two bestsellers have been tossed." ”
It's been a long time since Li Wenyuan's last novel, "Out of the Galaxy," and as a successful science fiction writer, it's no surprise that he wants to write a new book, for whatever reason.
So in his opinion, Lin Han is the best candidate, who can be more talented than Lin Han?
"Do you have any ideas for the new book?"
"I want to be new, a little bit innovative, and I have several ideas at the moment. One is called "Heart of the Storm", as well as "Rebuilding the Moon" and "Dark Calendar", and I have also considered writing a post-apocalyptic utopian novel, but I have too many ideas and I don't know what to write. ”
Choosing a topic is the most annoying thing for writers, every writer has a lot of inspiration, and it is very difficult to find the right one among so many inspiration ideas.
Almost every idea wants to be written, and every idea is difficult to give up, so this also makes Li Wenyuan's choice difficult!
There is a way that the authorities are fascinated, and the bystanders are clear.
After thinking about it carefully, Lin Han gave a completely different answer: "You have written "Out of the Solar System" and "Out of the Milky Way", have you ever thought about writing another novel and creating a trilogy. In this way, their influences can be fully combined and become a rare series in the history of Chinese science fiction. ”
Li Wenyuan also thought seriously after seeing this passage on the computer screen, since the two parts have been written, he will send his own works into the classic hall when he writes another one, which is something he didn't consider at all before.
"You mean to let me write about a wider world, bigger than the Milky Way, which are extragalactic galaxies and total galaxies, I have to think about it. ”
"What do you think of the universe? Escaping from the universe, from the solar system to the galaxy and then to the universe, this transition should be fine, right?" Lin Han suddenly said, what came to mind at this time was "Escape from the Mother Universe" by the famous domestic writer Wang Jinkang, which may coincide with Li Wenyuan's thoughts.
"The title of the book "Rushing Out of the Mother Universe" is quite good, this should be a cosmic-level disaster, where can you go after escaping from the mother universe?"
Lin Han thought about it seriously, and he said seriously: "The whole universe suddenly braked sharply on the expanding forward path, and reversed sharply, and the whole collapsed at the same time. In the face of the fact that the earth is about to be destroyed by the cosmic cataclysm, all mankind is trying to think about the way to escape, what space explosion, space annihilation drive, faster-than-light flight, star crossing, space navigation and so on. ”
"The super-empty bubble universe? people can also face intellectual regression. This story is actually not new, and I think this cosmic disaster is quite interesting. ”
In the following time, the thinking of the two people began to collide fiercely, the overall framework and concept were gradually improved, and Li Wenyuan completely put aside the rest of his novels for the time being, and devoted himself to the novel "Rushing Out of the Mother Universe".
The theme of this book is basically the same as "Escaping the Mother Universe", but Li Wenyuan is not Lin Han, he has not read the original text of this book, but he only learned a little about the situation through Lin Han, and he didn't know that this was a novel that existed in another world!
It's just that Mr. Wang's "Escape from the Mother Universe" in the previous life was mixed, and there was an idea and style that was enough to be discussed with "The Three-Body Problem", but it was not strong in storytelling, and a good theme was written by the author.
But Li Wenyuan is different, he is a good storyteller, his previous novels are more story-based than science fiction, although they both belong to the field of hard science fiction, but the new theories he involves in science fiction are not as many as Lin Han's writing.
After chatting for a long time, Li Wenyuan suddenly remembered, "This shouldn't be the novel you originally planned to write? These theories and story frameworks are carefully prepared at a glance, and I can't steal your ideas." ”
Lin Han was stunned, he had never thought of carrying Mr. Wang's novel, he hurriedly typed and said, "No, I never thought of writing this before." It was only after you said that I remembered that you inspired me, this is your novel idea, not mine. ”
Real friends are like this, if ordinary friends encounter this kind of thing, where will they ask, they have already quietly saved the story inspiration, no matter whose idea it is.
Giving this story to Li Wenyuan, Lin Han is looking forward to seeing a completely different and better science fiction novel!
"I won't tell you, the takeout I ordered has arrived, and we will talk next time when you make the outline of the new book and various preparations, bye-bye"
After Lin Han typed these lines, he walked quickly to the door, brought his takeaway in, and beckoned Chen Jiaxuan to get up.
……
Lunch was only eaten at two o'clock in the afternoon, and Lin Han's original nap time disappeared because of this, he stretched his waist, and a night of indulgence actually disrupted the entire biological clock.
Chen Jiaxuan didn't dress up at all at this time, she was naturally beautiful, even if she nibbled on the chicken legs, she was beautiful.
"Honey, I'm sorry to inform you, the afternoon time was requisitioned, now hurry up and change into shirts and suits, let's go to the studio to receive the award!" After Chen Jiaxuan turned on his mobile phone, he threw the chicken leg directly into the trash can, and rushed to the bathroom with a shout.
Lin Han asked confusedly, "What kind of award did you receive, did you send it from the Galaxy Award?" ”
"No, it's Guinness World Records, our studio helped you declare two records before, and it took more than a month to approve them, and now they are going to send you a certificate. Chen Jiaxuan rinsed her mouth with an electric toothbrush and explained: "I really don't have time, you help me find a set of clothes to wear for work, I still have to go to the toilet and put on makeup, I'm going to collapse!"
"Don't worry, the certificate won't be able to run away over there, you get busy first, I'll call your studio staff and ask them to find a way to delay for a while, and we'll rush over." ”
After a hurry, Lin Han drove quickly towards the studio, while Chen Jiaxuan took a makeup bag and put some light makeup and lipstick on the passenger seat.
In order for his girlfriend's lipstick to be evenly applied, Lin Han deliberately drove the car very steadily, without any bumps!
Forty minutes later, Lin Han finally saw his two Guinness World Records, but this made him cry and laugh, what the hell is this, he really can't have any expectations.
The World's Shortest Novel: God-Is-Dying!
The world's most translated science fiction novel: "I, Robot"
That "God is Dying" Lin Han also won an award in the British Mirror essay competition, but he didn't expect that there would really be a Guinness World Records certification, and he was a little surprised by the science fiction novel that was translated into the most languages.
Although "I, Robot" is Lin Han's debut feature, it is not the best in terms of commercial sales, but it has been translated into 64 different languages and sold in more than 140 countries and regions around the world!
Even if the rest of the sales momentum is better than it, it can't stand the fact that it is Lin Han's first famous novel, and there is enough time for the translators to slowly translate it, and the Serbian version of "I, Robot" was only released the day before yesterday.
Holding two certificates and taking a photo with the official Guinness adjudicator, Lin Han felt that his future goal was probably to strive to remove the word science fiction from the second award, and strive to become the novel with the most translated languages! )
