At the end of August, the students were busy returning to school during the summer vacation, and Lin Han and Chen Jiaxuan came to the waiting room of Yanjing International Airport in a low-key manner, ready to meet the crew of "The Martian", and then take a plane to Venice together. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Tomorrow is the opening ceremony of the festival, and not only will they have to walk the red carpet of the opening ceremony, but they will also have to show their own films in the evening, so they have to leave early!

In the VIP waiting room, Lin Han looked at the schedule on his mobile phone, and he said to Chen Jiaxuan: "Fortunately, we made preparations in advance, otherwise we would have to ask for leave for the first class on September 3, which is not good." ”

As a distinguished professor at Yenching University, his course has been selected in the summer, and he has changed from a small classroom to a lecture hall, and the course "World Science Fiction Literature Appreciation" cannot fail!

"We came back after the opening ceremony, so we didn't have to rush like that. Chen Jiaxuan sighed, taking a long-distance flight continuously is not an easy task, everything can only be endured.

Lin Han took a sip of water, and he shrugged his shoulders helplessly and replied: "After all, the course was set up first, and then I knew that it was shortlisted for the Venice Film Festival." I'm just the original author and screenwriter of "The Martian", and I don't have much of a gimmick. ”

He wants his films to enter the main competition unit of the world's three major film festivals, and he doesn't know if he will have the opportunity to set foot on that land as a real creator in the future!

Li Li, who was sitting on the side, had also heard that Lin Han was hired as a professor at Yenching University, and originally thought that it was just a matter of playing tickets, but he didn't know that he attached so much importance to it.

So she asked curiously: "Mr. Lin, how many classes a week do you have in the university, maybe we can come over and audit." ”

"One class a week, two consecutive periods at a time. ”

Most of the elective courses are like this, and Lin Han's focus is not on teaching and educating people, he just wants to spread the seeds of science fiction in the university.

"It's okay, after the premiere of our film, you can come back first, and if "The Martian" has a chance to win an award, the organizing committee will notify us to go back at the closing ceremony. At that time, will you see if you can still make a trip?"

Lin Han shook his head, he went to the Venice Film Festival just for the premiere of "The Martian", which was the first film adapted from his novel, it was necessary to go to the scene to see the effect, and also listen to what the audience and film critics had to say.

As for the Best Screenplay Award, it is not extravagant, and it is not the most important weight in the entire film festival, there is no need to toss your body!

Chen Jiaxuan's trip is mainly to test the overseas copyright market, Lin Han's science fiction novels are becoming more and more popular around the world, and film copyrights have been sold a lot.

"Jurassic Park" has been filmed, and it will be released next summer, which will definitely be a box office bomb. As for the "Bouquet for Algernon" that Leonardo bought, it is exactly the type that the Oscar judges like, and it is estimated that there will be a lot of awards during the awards season!

But Lin Han not only has these books, his vigorous creation every year can't stop at all, and there are still many works that are idle aside, rather than holding a grand event, it is better to take them out and develop them in cooperation with others.

While a few people were talking, Xu Jiayan walked in with his assistant, agent and styling team, and the Cannes actor greeted everyone with a smile and said: "It seems that I am the latest, our plane should not be late, right?"

"Director Zheng hasn't come yet, you're not the latest. Li Li knows that Xu Jiayan is not an ordinary little actor who can be handled casually, so her attitude is very kind, who makes Xu Jiayan want to be forced to be popular.

On this trip to Venice, I also expect European media and film companies to promote overseas screening rights through Xu Jiayan, which is the role of top actors!

Lin Han waved at him, this actor's acting skills are very solid and spiritual, and he is on par with the performance of the original Matt Damon, he does not give up in danger, and his performance in suffering is very real, which is described as down-to-earth by Internet hot words.

"Brother Xu, you look handsome today, do you even deliberately dress up?" Lin Han joked, he was dressed very casually, and he didn't deliberately pay attention to anything, how comfortable he was.

Xu Jiayan tugged at her collar and replied: "There are a lot of reporters who come to the airport, so I can't let them take pictures of my embarrassed appearance. ”

Emperor Xu was in his forties when he was in high spirits, and he had a mature charm that little fresh meat never had, and this style was very popular.

Usually celebrities get together, and it would be a bit of a waste if they didn't take two selfies, but fortunately, the crew of "The Martian" didn't like to take selfies, which made fans depressed.

Li Li looked at the itinerary brought by the assistant, and she said: "Before leaving, the reporter of Phoenix Entertainment wants to do an interview with everyone, and then take a street photo of the airport and the pictures of the expedition. Now they've sent an associate editor-in-chief, are you willing?"

Lin Han shook his head cleanly, it is better to close his eyes and think about the plot later, the story of "Hyperion" has developed to a small high tide, he not only wants to maintain this high level, but even wants to make a breakthrough, this is the most literary science fiction work, which is what he has high hopes for.

"You're fine right now anyway, just go for an interview, don't you still owe a publicity from the National People's Congress Press? The signing will definitely be too busy, and taking an hour for an interview is much more cost-effective than getting tired and your wrists are sore. Chen Jiaxuan poked Lin Han's waist with her hand and persuaded her.

Lin Han promised Zhao Han to help "Resident Evil" do a promotion before, but it has never been fulfilled, and now it is a film festival and a lecture at Yenching University, so I really don't have time to get a signing meeting, it just so happens that Phoenix Entertainment is also a good platform, and this interview will definitely be forwarded everywhere!

"Mr. Li, I'll do an interview, but forget about street photography, I'm afraid that my clothes will be laughed at by the fashion industry. Lin Han began to hack himself, in fact, HM's fast-selling clothing is very civilian, not as bad as he said, just because he doesn't want to fake.

Lin Han, Xu Jiayan, and Zheng Shuping are the troika that dragged "The Martian", and the other two are quite cooperative with the publicity, but Lin Han, the great god, is not easy to be invited, and now he is willing to accept an interview, which makes Li Li a little overjoyed!

Also surprised was Guo Xiaoyue, deputy editor-in-chief of Phoenix Entertainment, who may not even be able to interview Lin Han by the national media, so he could actually give him an exclusive interview?

Rao is Guo Xiaoyue is used to seeing celebrities from all walks of life, and she is also excited because of the interview with Lin Han, in fact, she didn't prepare a script for the interview with Lin Han in advance, probably because she didn't think it was needed, and now she can only improvise.

……

On the sofa, Lin Han stood up and shook hands with the deputy editor-in-chief in his thirties who painted heavy makeup opposite, and said: "Hello, I'm Lin Han, I hope the questions will not be too sharp later, except for private life, the rest is fine." ”

"Okay, let's not take this as an interview, just chat, the content of the chat is relatively simple, first let's talk about your new book, everyone wants to know why you want to write "Hyperion", there are a lot of Shakespeare and Keats stuff in it, and the connection between each story doesn't seem to be fully there?"

can find a little problem in a very short time, Guo Xiaoyue can be regarded as having real skills.

Lin Han looked at the recorder on the coffee table, and he replied with a smile: "I like Keats a lot, and the idea of this novel also comes partly from his long poem that he didn't finish, but I'm not a poet, I can only use one science fiction story after another to perfect it." ”

"Actually, you're not bad at writing poetry, I remember you wrote several poems, which were widely circulated on the Internet, and those poets basically recognized them. Someone even suggested that you publish a collection of poems!" Guo Xiaoyue was a little puzzled, Lin Han's "Seeing and Not Seeing", "Facing the Sea, Spring Blossoms" and "You Are the April Day in the World", "If I Have Never Seen the Sunshine" are all very good.

But Lin Han knew that he had a few catties and a few taels, he shook his head, these works had already been found by searching his stomach, and many of the other poems existed in this world, and the stock was running out!

"I'm better to be a writer, the poets in my eyes are all poets and poets, and I feel that I am far behind. ”

Guo Xiaoyue saw that Lin Han didn't want to continue this topic, so she adjusted the conversation at the right time, "Then how much content of this "Hyperion" has not been announced? I think readers are very curious about this question. ”

Lin Han grinned and unveiled his blueprint: "The entire book of Hyperion is composed of the stories of these pilgrims, so it should be completed in September. However, the entire series is currently planned to be composed of four books, namely "Hyperion", "The Fall of Hyperion", "Andy Myon", "Andy Myon's Awakening", the next three will be updated depending on the situation, there are too many plans at present. ”

The interview is really good, a little leaking from between Lin Han's fingers is the big material, who would have thought that "Hyperion" would actually be a series, and even the name of each work has been thought of, this is a long preparation!

"I haven't read the rest yet, but I think it's going to be a very grand novel, and I hope to see it sooner. Guo Xiaoyue looked at Lin Han and started a new topic: "Now the outside world has a name for you, Teacher Lin, and now I heard that you have indeed become a teacher, why did you think of teaching at the university?"

Lin Han is very relaxed now, and he doesn't have the feeling of facing the camera, he is a little stiff as soon as he appears in front of the camera, and prefers to be behind the scenes rather than standing in front of the stage.

After hearing this question, his answer was simple: "There are many reasons, first of all, I want to popularize the entire history of world science fiction literature, so that more people can like science fiction." Secondly, I like university very much, I don't have much time to write and interact with people every day, so it's good to have more contact with young people. ”

This is said as if he is very old, obviously the same age as those graduate students, maybe the doctoral students at Peking University are older than him.

After the two of them chatted for a long time, Guo Xiaoyue saw that the time was almost up, and said, "There is still an hour before your plane, how about we talk about the last topic?"

"No problem, what do you want to know?"

"Some people on the Internet call you the king of cross-border heaven, saying that many people in the entertainment industry have the habit of publishing books, but you are the only one who has entered the literary world in the real sense. How do you see writers becoming directors and screenwriters?"

In fact, this is not Lin Han's case, in reality, there are many writers who are crossing borders, but there is no such big position as Lin Han, he has made movies in the literary circle, and he has published novels in the entertainment industry!

In the past few years, some famous writers have gone to colleges and universities to teach and become professors, which has attracted the attention of the literary world, but what has really aroused discussion is "writing and excelling is guiding".

Many writers have changed careers or changed their cultural identities to break into the film and television industry, and become directors or screenwriters, which is becoming a new trend in the literary world!

Writer Han Ming's work "There Will Be a Period Later" successfully turned into a director, while another chicken soup writer Zhang Jiale also directed a "Ferryman", and female writer Haiyan became the screenwriter of the TV series "Langya Bang".

The writer Wang Shuo, who is a little bit earlier, has a large number of works that have been adapted into movies and TV series, the more famous ones are "Sunny Days", "The Story of the Editorial Department", "The Stubborn Master", "Party A and Party B", etc., and later he also filmed the movie "Father and Son", but he didn't make a big splash!

There are many similar writers turned directors abroad, such as French female writer Marguerite Duras, Japanese writer Yukio Mishima, Korean writer Lee Canghae, and American horror writer Stephen King.

Among them, Stephen King is probably the most familiar one to the audience and readers, and his works include "The Shawshank Redemption", "Miracle in the Green", "The Shining", "Ten Days of Danger", "Carrie the Witch", etc., more than 20 of which have been adapted into movies!

Writers are not just directors, for example, writer Liu Zhenyun participated in a TV variety show for the first time, and joined "Chinese Character Hero" with Pu Cunxin and Yu Dan to be Mr. Chinese Characters.

This kind of crossover has also made writers controversial, writers go to the entertainment industry, and actors in the entertainment industry want to use the literary circle to improve their style, is this a literary adventure or a capital game that is unprofitable and unprofitable?

"In fact, there are pros and cons to crossing borders. Lin Han pondered before he spoke: "First of all, this can bring more opportunities to writers, and can allow writers to give full play to their own creativity, the value of the subject and their multi-faceted talents. However, there are also trials and challenges, and with the emergence of the rest of the identities, the label of writer will gradually blur and fade on them, and even make people forget that they are still writers. ”

Lin Han added: "It is good to cross borders, and it is good to stick to them. But it shouldn't have any effect on me, after all, I'm a crossover!"
