Chapter 200: Lin Han teaches you to write science fiction

The Association of Popular Science Writers regularly holds similar salons every year, inviting members of the association from different regions to get together, and the topics of each issue are different, in fact, it is more like a gathering of writers. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Unlike the Provincial Writers Association and the National Writers Association, almost all of the members of the Popular Science Writers Association are related to science fiction and popular science, so there is not much generation gap in conversation, and everyone is an avid science fiction enthusiast.

Although Li Wenyuan also received an invitation, he was going to Sichuan Guardian to participate in a puzzle program to promote his new book, so he could only regret his absence.

In other words, Lin Han will have to face so many strangers alone, as well as those few people who have stabbed in the back in the auditorium of Tsinghua University, this feeling is really amazing.

In fact, Lin Han didn't hate them, but was a little grateful, if it weren't for Teng Haiyun, Zhao Zhuowei and others "helping", he wouldn't have had the opportunity to stand on the top of the Tsinghua auditorium to give speeches to so many big bulls and future bulls, and he was able to enter the Mars Project project team all thanks to this speech.

Driving to the hotel set by the association, there were already many people chatting on the spot, most of them were old friends, and there were very few newcomers who joined every year.

Now when they saw Lin Han's new face at first glance, they couldn't help but stop their words and focus on Lin Han.

"Hello everyone, my name is Lin Han, it's the first time to participate in this kind of salon, is there anything to pay attention to?"

He generously admitted his shortcomings, hoping not to be isolated by this group of writers.

Young science fiction and popular science writers are very rare, and these people rarely see Lin Han on other occasions, and they all know the name Lin Han and the influence behind it.

Originally, some people didn't plan to come to the "Science Fiction Lecture Hall", but after hearing that Lin Han would come to the scene to communicate, they temporarily changed their minds and ran over.

Teng Haiyun moved his ass a little uneasily, the current Lin Han is completely different from the beginning, Lin Han was just an ordinary science fiction writer at the beginning, and now others have returned with honors, and he is the first person in Asia to win the Hugo Award.

Maybe this award is not as well-known as the Galaxy Award in the eyes of ordinary people, but this is the home camp of science fiction writers, which of them doesn't pay attention to the Hugo Award?

This is the highest award in the industry, after Lin Han won the award, these writers also cheered and celebrated, especially the staff of the Popular Science Writers Association was glad that they had done their job well and recruited Lin Han into the club in advance.

The writers present all had mixed feelings about Lin Han, some were pleased that there were successors to science fiction, but some were envious of the achievements they had never achieved at a young age.

"You're Lin Han, we've heard about you for a long time, come and sit here, and tell us about the Hugo Awards. ”

"It's time to become famous, you're the back wave of the Yangtze River is simply the tide of the Qiantang River!"

"Finally a new face, and we're all curious how you managed to write science fiction so well, with every book selling so well and getting so good reviews. ”

"I was scolded to death for a short story I posted last month, and I can't wait to take it back and rewrite it. ”

Lin Han could feel the kindness in this, and he was not afraid of anything, he sat on the sofa and picked up a bottle of mineral water and drank it before he spoke: "Actually, I am still groping. It may only take a month or even half a month to write a novel, but before that, it takes a long time to think about it, drawing inspiration from different science fiction books, the latest science fiction movies, and cutting-edge scientific research articles every year. ”

The creativity of a science fiction novel is very precious, and there are one or two ideas behind a novel, so writers do not communicate with their peers during the conception and writing process.

Another person suddenly began to ask, "Do you think soft science fiction or hard science fiction is better?" I found that today's readers prefer to read hard science fiction novels, and even those science fiction on the Internet are science fiction? ”

"Science fiction is soft and hard, and it doesn't need to be so fine, as long as it can tell a good story. As for the fact that online science fiction contains more elements, this is an emerging genre, very creative, and some well-written boutique novels are also worth watching. As for the infinite stream, this is probably a fanfiction with elements, right?"

Lin Han's words are a little cautious, he has experienced the days of looking for science fiction novels on the Internet to read, and he has read a lot of science fiction online articles in his previous life, but there are relatively few that can be called real science fiction works, and only a few can make people eye.

This is actually hard science fiction that does not meet the needs of readers of online novels, and the readership groups of the two sides are inconsistent, so Lin Han has no intention of writing online novels at all, which makes no sense to him.

Although the name of this salon is called the lecture hall, they are basically communicating with each other, and now from time to time someone asks Lin Han questions, he also raises his spirit to answer them one by one, and occasionally there are difficult statements that Lin Han has dealt with.

"It is necessary to have a certain amount of hardware knowledge, even soft science fiction must be convincing, not wild and absurd, there are no logical loopholes, this is a new world. There is also the establishment of a framework for writing, which, like a normal novel, must not be wrong in structure. ”

Lin Han himself is extremely fond of hard science fiction, but sometimes it is not difficult to compromise for the sake of the work, he is not stubborn.

The rest of the writers also talked about their own experiences, how to write science fiction novels well, how to make up for the mistakes in the novels, and how to link them with real life.

Lin Han has already made several friends at this time, this is a serious exchange, a novel from the inspiration to the final product is like cooking, the same ingredients will have different flavors when cooked by different chefs.

"What is the core of this science fiction novel? What kind of world does the story take place in? What kind of story is it, and what is the length, perspective, style, and rhythm? What kind of person or creature is the protagonist of the story? Do you write a character biography for the main character? ”

Now Lin Han is learning from others how to describe a plump character, starting from the character's appearance, preferences, habitual actions and mantras, what his beliefs, dreams, and strengths are, whether he has weaknesses, and who his partners and enemies are.

The most important thing is what forces drive the protagonist from the beginning to the end, Lin Han feels that such a salon is a time to learn from each other's strengths, and by the way, you can also listen to the gossip in the science fiction circle.
