Chapter 535: Flat Country

Writing English lines for the movie "Immortality" is obviously not a difficult thing to do. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Even if Lin Han is now being driven to the shelves, the novel he translated at the beginning was not translated in vain, which is equivalent to completing all the preparatory activities, and now it only needs to match the Chinese lines!

Sitting here a little bored, he quickly started to write on the office computer, and the words in his head began to combine with the movie screens, if anyone could see what was going on in Lin Han's brain, then he would definitely scream in surprise, because it was too much like a supercomputer running.

He didn't need to show the movie alone, and he didn't need to find out the English version of the novel "Immortality" published in Nature, all of this was in his head!

"The keyboard in the office is a little uncomfortable, so I'll have to bring my own mechanical keyboard another day. ”

Lin Han was in the mood to think about these contents while typing quickly on the word document, and the rhythmic sound of tapping on the keyboard continued in the room!

Although he is not one of those hand speed maniacs who can speed up at eight or nine thousand per hour, he still has an average of four or five thousand words, which is much better than some authors with handicapped hands.

The most important thing is that the speed of Lin Han's code words can basically be constant, he has already conceived these contents in his mind, and now all he has to do is to write them out little by little!

Before noon, Lin Han clicked Save, and the English version of the lines had already been figured out by him, and he even had time to carefully check whether the translation was appropriate.

"Xiao Xie, you help me print out this document, give me a copy, and then give it to Miao Hong for a look. Lin Han pressed 1 on the phone on his desk, and then handed the task to the secretary.

Xie Xin usually works relatively easily, and after she heard the voice coming from the phone, she immediately replied: "No problem, print it right away!"

Lin Han doesn't need to worry about the printing work, after he uploads this document to the network disk, he will delete the local file to avoid any problems.

Taking advantage of this gap, he simply took out his mobile phone and sent a WeChat message to Xu Jiayan: "Old Xu, are you starting work now?"

Within a few seconds, Xu Jiayan responded, "It's still early, I'm basking in the sun on the beach in Australia." Are you going to introduce me to a job?"

"I'm not going to make a new movie just yet, you know Weinstein Pictures, right? They wanted the North American distribution agent for the Immortal movie, so I wrote an English script for you to do the dubbing. ”

Lin Han's string of texts was sent, and Xu Jiayan, who was in the other hemisphere, sat up directly from the beach, and even took off his sunglasses, Weinstein is a famous big man for actors who aspire to break into Hollywood!

Even if Xu Jiayan is the winner of Cannes, even if his "The Martian" has achieved a very good box office in North America, Weinstein is the tycoon of Hollywood awards season.

He was wearing a pair of beach pants and his upper body was naked, and at this moment he directly pressed the screen and said a voice for more than ten seconds: "Weinstein is the agent for the distribution of "Immortality"? Yes, they are the best at distributing this type of independent film, maybe your movie can be coquettish in North America!"

After Lin Han heard Xu Jiayan's voice, he said: "I will send the English script to your mailbox now, and you will practice well when you are on vacation in Australia and find a good English teacher." Don't learn the English pronunciation of Tuao, or I'll make you cry when you get to the studio!"

It's also English, Australian English, American English, and British English have different pronunciations, and Lin Han didn't want to use an Australian accent for a movie released in North America.

"What kind of vacation, I'll ask the assistant to book a flight back to Yanjing tonight, this is a big deal!"

As long as the big-name actors don't have many film appointments, it's still very easy every year. At this stage, they only focus on the quality of the film rather than the quantity, so one or two good films a year are enough, and they can enjoy life after filming time.

Xu Jiayan had two movies released in a row during the Chinese New Year and the Spring Festival, so he gave himself a long vacation, but he didn't expect that it was only the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, and he voluntarily ran back to Yanjing to work!

If his agent knew, he would definitely have to say a few thanks to Lin Han.

However, Lin Han was not too anxious, he replied: "What are you in a hurry, at least you have to be proficient to record." You can play in Australia for two more days, and I will ask the secretary to communicate with your agent about the specific time of return. ”

While he was typing on his phone, Miao Hong stood at the open office door and knocked, and then walked in!

"Boss, you're fast, aren't you? I haven't signed a contract with Harvey yet, so why did you take out the script!"

Lin Han put his phone aside, and he responded with a smile: "It's so great to work efficiently, I won't come in the afternoon, I plan to think about new books at home." You send the English script to Harvey Weinstein, even if it's a sincerity!"

"With this script, it will be much more convenient for us to post-production!" Miao Hong naturally won't let Lin Han fight against the English and audio tracks of "Immortality" alone, the movie is in full swing, and there are enough people to help.

"Anyway, I'll leave it to you, call me when the recording is due, I'm going to supervise it on the spot." Lin Han reminded that as a director, he had to go to the scene to judge whether the voice of the recording actor matched the movie, and control the fit!

The biggest problem with post-dubbing is lip shape, the actors on the movie screen are acting in Chinese, but now they have to get an English dubbing, so sometimes the difference in lip shape will look weird.

This is an inevitable thing, unless Lin Han reshoots the movie again, it can't be solved at all!

……

After Lin Han had lunch with Chen Jiaxuan, he drove back to the villa, while Chen Jiaxuan was busy communicating with Chang'e Pictures, and she wanted to increase the schedule of "Immortality" after the Spring Festival holiday.

As a woman in the new era, Chen Jiaxuan is not ready to rely on Lin Han, she also has her own scope of work, and it is not best to stick together all the time.

After returning home, Lin Han saw Chai Chai walking around in the courtyard of the villa, looking east and west, and from time to time grabbing a dead leaf with his claws.

"Chai Chai, come over here!"

Lin Han stopped the car, and he stood in place calling Chai Chai's name, who knew that this little guy didn't pay attention to him at all, pouted his ass to himself, and ran into the room with his little short legs!

He has a close relationship with Chai Chai, and he returned to the mountain city with Chen Jiaxuan not long after he bought it, and Chai Chai followed the nanny and aunt to spend this Spring Festival.

Originally, he was still a puppy, and his memory was not obvious, so it was inevitable that there would be such a situation, and Lin Han didn't care, just communicate with Chai Chai more recently, he didn't believe that he couldn't help a Shiba Inu!

After pushing open the door of the villa, Lin Han took off his coat, and the inside was warm enough for him to be comfortable.

Chai Chai was screaming at the staircase, as if he thought Lin Han was a bad person!

"Yo, Xiaolin, you're back, have you had lunch, I'll make it for you right away. Aunt Zhang hurriedly walked out when she heard the noise.

Lin Han shook his head and said, "I've eaten outside, you can make a four-happiness ball and a lotus seed in the evening." ”

Aunt Zhou looked at her watch and hurriedly agreed: "Okay, I'll go shopping for vegetables right away, I don't know if I can buy lotus seeds now." ”

"It's okay, you can buy it if you can buy it, forget it if you can't buy it!" Lin Han is not strict, although there are many green greenhouses now, but not every vegetable can be supplied out of season.

After teasing Chai Chai with puppy paste for a while, he went upstairs to prepare his new book in the study!

Lin Han hasn't written a novel for quite some time, and his latest work, "Immortality", was made together when he was writing the script in December last year, and now it's early February!

In the morning, when he was writing the English script of "Immortality", he especially missed the feeling of fingers tapping on the keyboard and words flowing on the screen.

It's time to write a new book, not for the sake of the readers, but for the sake of being comfortable!

……

A cup of tea, a piano music, Lin Han sat in front of the computer and began to think, while the signature pen in his hand was unconsciously scribbling and drawing on the blank paper, but it was all kinds of irregular circles.

After he looked down at these circles, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind, maybe this strange science fiction novel "Flat Country", which was born on Earth in 1884, is very suitable for the current situation.

The author of "Flat Country" Edwin Albert is a famous British novelist, Albert, who graduated from Cambridge University, gained great fame after writing "Flat Country", and even after more than a century, it is still the first book in space that has been repeatedly admired and cited!

This book has been a bestseller for more than 100 years and has been popular in dozens of countries, and is recognized as the pinnacle of multidimensional space science fiction, a perfect combination of rigorous logic and infinite imagination!

To paraphrase a line, what is the most important thing in the 21st century?

It's talent!

The most important quality that talents need to have is innovation, and "Plane Country" is such a strange book that can cultivate innovative thinking!

This book is different from ordinary science fiction novels, in the form of science fiction novels, the author proposes the existence of different dimensional worlds and the relationship between the worlds of each dimension.

The novel details a two-dimensional world, and by describing how the characters in the flat country move, from the structure of the house, the rules of women's walking, to the class struggle, etc., the author feels that such a country and such creatures do exist!

In addition, there is a huge controversy between the life of the zero-dimensional, one-dimensional, two-dimensional, and three-dimensional countries.

There are a lot of wonderful things to see in it, such as living in a flat country with triangles, quadrilaterals, pentagons, and circles, except for straight lines, there is nothing visible, why is this?

In this magical country, women are straight lines, why do they have the ability to be invisible, why do they make people feel intimidated?

If the people of the flat country were painted, it would be easy for everyone to recognize each other, but why was this great color revolution suppressed and turned into a serious class struggle?

This novel is not only science fiction, but also an important enlightenment read, but it is also darker.

The content of the story seems to be very simple, and the whole story tells the story of the people who live in a flat country in the voice of a narrator, where women are the line segments and men are divided into many ranks.

Equilateral triangles or isosceles triangles are low, the middle class is quadrilateral, the higher the rank has more corners, missionaries and monks are at the highest level, they are flawless circles!

The novel describes a world that seems to really exist, gives the structure and rules of the world, and even the narrator has been to a one-dimensional country, telling those people in the one-dimensional country that in addition to the north-south dimension, there are also left and right dimensions.

The narrator finally encounters a sphere, which enlightens him about what three-dimensional space is, of course the narrator does not understand what three-dimensional space is, but he finds that the lines presented by the sphere can be long for a while and short for a while, but the narrator is imprisoned as a character who deceives the public!

After reviewing these contents, Lin Han began to think seriously about writing, but before writing, he had to explain the concept of dimension to some readers who were not very thinking well, so that no one could understand it.

The knowledge level of readers is uneven, what he has to do is to take care of the largest range of readers, those who understand can naturally skip it, and those who don't understand it can also understand it when they see this.

The so-called zero-dimensional is the point, and the point of "......" like this is the whole world, the king and subject of the other world. In the zero-dimensional world, there is no space for up, down, left, right, front and back!

One-dimensional, that is, lines, lines like this, men are line segments, women are points on the line, and in one-dimensional countries there are only before and after, and distinguishing things only depends on sound. Marriage and childbirth are completed by singing, and there is enviable love everywhere. It's just that here, everyone's position is forever fixed and cannot be moved.

The two-dimensional is the plane, and it is also the main place where the novel "Plane Country" takes place. The inhabitants of the flat country have their own houses to live in, and it is very dangerous to be a female with a line, and can easily pierce the body of a man with triangles, squares, hexagons, etc.!

Three-dimensional, that is, the body, is the space composed of length, width and height, that is, the space in which each of us lives.

After understanding these simple contents, the reader can understand the specific content of the novel!
