Chapter 243: Appreciation of Elegance and Vulgarity, Word-of-Mouth Counterattack (Ask for Subscription)
In the last science fiction writers' salon, Lin Han was just a young writer who was not taken seriously, but this time he became the center of the conversation, and this change is only a gap of one or two books. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
There are not a few writers who become famous at a young age, and there are relatively few people like him who are famous and low-key, and with the great god Tong Yonglie by his side, those who originally had broken thoughts have long since closed their mouths and began to regret it.
Commenting on Lin Han's "The Three-Body Problem" is a particularly difficult thing, because there are too many angles to choose from, and it is easy to see that "The Three-Body Problem" is very ambitious, not only trying to systematize and transcend the sequence of its own works, but more importantly, trying to give some attempts to achieve the connotation of the word science fiction.
Lin Han, who was already famous in the lounge, had no intention of continuing to show his edge, so he just listened attentively in the salon and rarely expressed his opinions, in case he quickly told the content and setting of the next two novels, it would not be good.
A few hours later, Lin Han drove into a cake shop, today was Chen Jiaxuan's birthday, he was going to buy a cake and go back to celebrate, of course, there was a small romantic arrangement.
The cake that had been ordered in advance was carried in his hand and carefully placed in the passenger seat, and he drove the car very smoothly, for fear that the cake box would suddenly fly out.
After Lin Han arrived at home, he processed the Australian steak he bought, prepared red wine, and cooked Western food at home.
Everything is ready, just waiting for the hostess to come back, even if it is her birthday, Chen Jiaxuan is still working hard, and she is busy helping her artists borrow red carpet dresses for the Hundred Flowers Award, and follow many foreign brands.
There was nothing to do, Lin Han simply walked to the study and turned on the computer to start killing time.
He would like to play games now, but there seem to be very few games tied to science fiction, even if there is no "Resident Evil" series, there is no "Halo" (also known as "Halo"), there is no "Fallout", and there is no "Mass Effect" series that Lin Han's favorite "Mass Effect" series does not.
Lin Han was still playing EVE before the time travel, when the new expansion, The Defenders, was released.
However, in this world, Blizzard has always existed, so it is better to play StarCraft than nothing, and he can't wait to play the text puzzle game of "The Martian" now, but at least he will have to wait until the end of the year to enter the closed beta.
As the author of the novel, he naturally has a place to try it out in advance.
After playing with the Zerg, Lin Han's computer radiator became a fan, and the whirring sound made the laptop fry eggs.
"It seems that I have to change to a good computer, which is a bit stuck playing games. ”
Lin Han made so much money, and it was just a drop in the bucket to change an alien computer, but he preferred to use a mechanical keyboard when coding words, which did not hurt his hands and was very fast.
If you can't play the game, you can only browse the web to pass the time, after Lin Han typed a three-word in the thousand-degree search bar, the searcher automatically came out with a bunch of keyword searches, and the three-body problem ranked first!
He clicked the enter button, and then a bunch of news appeared on it, and the thousand-degree encyclopedia of "The Three-Body Problem" was in the most conspicuous position.
After Lin Han clicked in, he found that the number of views of this entry exceeded 5 million, and the creator was the National People's Congress Publishing House, and the writers in it made him blush when they introduced and praised him.
"The Three-Body Problem" is a long-form science fiction novel written by Chinese science fiction writer Lin Han, consisting of a trilogy and a biography, the first part was first published in September 2017, and the second part is tentatively named "The Three-Body Problem: Dark Forest" ......"
This entry is suspected of spoilers, and the editors of the National People's Congress Publishing House naturally read the entire book, so it is very clear and thorough in the introduction of the content.
Many readers only watched part of it at this time, and as a result, they were spoiled.
There are even various media recommendations and writers' book reviews attached to the entry, and Lin Han read it with great interest.
"A thought experiment on history and reality. Exposing the human soul to the cold starry sky, the distant world is like a dream, but it is like a mirror, reflecting the human beings themselves more profoundly. This is a science fiction novel that is more real than reality and more ethereal than myth. -- Wang Chonglun, a famous science fiction writer
"From one 'unprecedented' era, to another, from one mystical reality to another. Lin Han's pinnacle of neoclassical science fiction!" -- Science fiction critic Wu Yan
"Lin Han fulfilled an almost impossible dream in "The Three-Body Problem". He fuses 5,000 years of Chinese history with the 15 billion years of reality of the universe to challenge the limits of the conflict between moral laws and natural laws that have puzzled generations. With his grand narrative and profound ideas that transcend the times, he has unprecedentedly displayed the logically rigorous and emotionally charged writing style of science fiction in front of many ordinary Chinese, which is destined to change their thinking and behavior, and let us re-examine all aesthetics on and beyond this planet!" -- Fudan professor Han Song
……
After reading these comments, Lin Han was naturally happy in his heart, and he was able to bring a Chinese epic masterpiece like "The Three-Body Problem" to a new world and be recognized by professionals.
Of course, these praises may have been selected into the Qiandu Encyclopedia entry after screening, so Lin Han was not too surprised, he now hopes to see the evaluation of ordinary readers, whether they think the novel is good or not.
Lin Han opened Douban to read, and found that there were more than 40,000 people rated "The Three-Body Problem", and it seems that the first batch of readers who bought physical books or e-books have finished reading the novel.
Under the weighting of so many people's ratings, the score of the novel has come to 9.0 points, and it may fall from above at any time, and it can be seen that everyone likes to watch "The Three-Body Problem"!
A reader with the nickname Xiaoko commented: "A liberal arts student looks at the three-body problem, which is completely different from a science student. Liberal arts students like to watch the first half, the depiction of the Cultural Revolution, suspense, human nature and society. The sci-fi part in the back is almost incomprehensible to them, and they think it is a bland narrative description without the personality of the characters.
Science students pay more attention to science fantasy, and Zhizi's information transmission, multi-dimensional development, guzheng action, and technology lock-up are the shining points in their hearts. ”
This reader comment seemed to speak to everyone's heart, so more than 300 people found his review very useful, appearing at the top of the list of popular reviews.
In fact, it is true that in the first half of "The Three-Body Problem", the elements of science fiction did not fully appear, and the truth of the matter was slowly revealed later.
There has been an abnormal disturbance in the basic science of the earth, and nanoscientist Wang Miao has entered the mysterious online game "Three-Body Problem" and began to gradually approach the truth of this world.
When he participated in the offline gathering of players, it was not surprising that he came into contact with a secret organization formed on Earth in response to the arrival of the Trisolarans.
Through the "Guzheng Project", the China Operations Center of the Earth Defense Organization foiled the attempts of the Salvationists and Adventists to disrupt the minds of the human scientific community and other fields to a certain extent, and learned that the Trisolarans in distress decided to invade the Earth in order to obtain a world that could survive stably.
After using supertechnology to lock up the basic science of earthlings, the huge trimaran fleet began to blonde to Earth, and the end of humanity was quietly coming.
"Why is it always out of stock?! Once or twice is understandable, but many people respond that they want to buy it, why are they always out of stock, can't they prepare a few more books? I don't want to read the electronic version!"
Through this comment, Lin Han seemed to be able to see a person who kept hammering the table, so he took a screenshot of this comment and prepared to post it on Weibo, and then sent the book to him.
Dong Deye gave a five-point evaluation, and said: "This is a book that changes the three views, the first time I read science fiction, I used to be secretive, and after reading it, I suddenly felt hearty, and I had the potential to swallow thousands of miles." Although I am not very interested in some of the plots of love and love, these clips really shocked me, Qin Shi Huang's 20 million soldiers formed a computer, which really made me stunned, and my brain was so big. ”
"Lin Han, you have to compensate for the mental damages, I read the novel at one or two o'clock in the evening, and when I saw the part of the four-dimensional space, I directly lost my sleepiness, so I saw it at eight o'clock the next morning. ”
"The imaginative sci-fi plot is addictive, and it is closely related to China's national conditions, which is an unexpected surprise. ”
The novel is fascinating, and the combination of reality and fantasy is just right, so I can recommend it to everyone. ”
"Wonderful, fascinating, it's been a long time since I've been so engaged in reading a book, anyway, I've increased my knowledge, and it's easy to make people devote themselves to reading a book!"
"It is no exaggeration to say that this is a must-have book for science fiction fans! I am not a standard science fiction fan, but after reading this book, I was completely impressed by Lin Han, and it can be seen that this book is just a foreshadowing of the story, and the whole earth has been turned upside down before the aliens have reached the earth. ”
"Whether you are a science fiction fan or not, you should come and see how small the earth is when you look up at the stars in your spare time. ”
"Originally, I bought the book for Lin Han's reputation, but later I found out that it really deserves its reputation, the novel is particularly good-looking, and my words are very scarce, anyway, it is good-looking. ”
"The most awesome science fiction is the ability to write the wildest imagination as real as a news report. ”
"All kinds of naivety, the understanding of human nature and the way society works is at the level of elementary school students, and the imagination of women is at the level of children and men. In addition, the writing is very poor, the narrative has no skills at all, and the language is rough and vulgar that people can't bear to read. This is something that can't be on the table.,Give two stars because I'm parallel to the thick side of the attack.,In addition, I understand a little bit of the feelings of science fiction fans.。 ”
……
The dense praise made the corners of Lin Han's mouth can't help but rise, although there are also some critical voices, he has made a lot of progress, "The Three-Body Problem" is a science fiction novel, if you want to ask it according to the writing of a regular literary work, this is a bit excessive.
This is probably the feeling that everyone is drunk and I am sober, Lin Han also knows that there is a gap in the writing of these novels, but he is moving forward steadily, and these bad reviews are the motivation to urge him to keep moving forward.
The good reviews overwhelmingly overshadowed the bad reviews, and the first readers who finished reading the novel couldn't wait to share them with their friends and netizens, and even pulled them to start spoilers.
Among them, Yao Hongjun, the former editor-in-chief of "Science Fiction World", wrote a comment of several thousand words on Weibo and began to analyze the doorway in "The Three-Body Problem" in detail.
Yao Hongjun's reputation in the science fiction industry is still very loud, he is considered a veteran, and wrote: "This is a science fiction writing of contemporary history.
The narrator Lin Han chose in "The Three-Body Problem" is Wang Miao, and his weight in the novel is not even as important as that of Dashi, but more to provide a pair of eyes and a point of view, and his role in the narrative is not much stronger than that of a supporting role. Because Lin Han's science fiction ideas are too grand, there is not much room left for the characters.
But it must be noted that when Lin Han describes the interlude chapters, he can clearly see the unsmooth transformation of perspective. The novel uses a collage of text to write in a way that is not skillful enough.
There is no doubt that in the chapters of the Three-Body Problem Game and the Red Bank Base Decryption, this way of writing is very interesting and effective, but the rest of the chapters do not have a good unity of writing techniques.
Is Lin Han's "Three-Body Problem" written about aliens struggling to survive under three suns? Obviously not. The aliens never actually appear in this novel, they just send some information to Earth that proves their existence.
Then the whole novel is about human beings living in the shadow of aliens.
The more knowledge, the more reactionary. ”
Whether it is professionals or ordinary readers, they have a very high degree of acceptance of this "Three-Body Problem", and the editors of the National People's Congress Publishing House were worried that the background of the Cultural Revolution in the novel would disgust readers, but they did not expect it to become one of the highlights.
These collected reviews give them enough confidence to print and promote, and for a novel, even if it is blown out of the sky, it is not as good as these real, spontaneous recommendations.
In comparison, "Twilight" is slightly inferior in terms of word-of-mouth, although the number of first printing in the United States is as high as 3.8 million copies, the weekly sales of nearly one million, the global sales of the series of books exceed 40 million copies, and the copyright is resold in more than 40 countries.
However, the final work of this series of novels has declined somewhat in terms of word-of-mouth, and it seems that the ending has not satisfied readers, and the domestic version has been criticized for translation problems, and the original English version abroad has also been controversial because of the plot.
This romance novel dressed as a vampire has attracted more than 30,000 reviews on Douban, but the rating is mainly four-star, although it is not polarized, but it is only hovering between 7.9 and 8.0 for the time being.
From the evaluation and word of mouth, "The Three-Body Problem" has sounded the clarion call for a counterattack! )
