Whether it is a past or present life, Lin Han has really never heard of the name of this science fiction writer, Brian Barker, who knows what he has written. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

However, the Australian Science Fiction Achievement Award, which is one of the top ten awards in the science fiction industry, has a certain gold content, also known as the Dietmar Award, which is presented by the Australian Science Fiction Conference.

However, the award is elected by members and is awarded to the best science fiction novel in Australia and around the world, the best reader magazine, and the best contemporary science fiction writer.

Thinking about it, Lin Han, who had a big heart, actually took out his mobile phone and began to search for this person's name, not minding the reporter's eyes shining on the side.

"So you think there's something wrong with his words, right?" The reporters of the Sun newspaper deliberately used such ambiguous words to ask questions, and no matter what Lin Han answered, they could distort the meaning.

After Lin Han found out the information of this Mr. Buck, he pursed his mouth and did not make any reply, the other party's provocation was simply not a grade.

Only the reporters were left thinking about how to conceive the news, and no one forced Lin Han to answer the question, he had answered enough.

……

The morning has passed in a hurry, and there is a lot of good news from the London Book Fair, and the reporters are like busy bees, drilling wherever there is news.

After Lin Han had lunch, he no longer paid attention to the book fair, he wanted to find his books in bookstores on the streets of London, but after asking around, he found that he would not be on the shelves until tomorrow.

"Now I'm going to leave for Paris, you travel alone to pay attention to safety, call the police and the embassy - phone to remember, whether in the UK or in France, send a text message every day to report safety, you know?"

Chen Jiaxuan knows that foreign countries are not as good as domestic ones, if Lin Han is left alone in China for ten days and half a month, he will not worry, but now he is not familiar with life, and if something happens, he will be in trouble.

"I'll send you back to the hotel first, and by the way, send the manuscript of "Artificial Beauty" to the Mirror Newspaper, and let them publish it, just as an advertisement for the novel."

"I, Robot" feels like it has been out for a long time, and it has been sold in China for a few months, but it has just been listed abroad, and Lin Han also wants to take the opportunity to test the appeal of the earth's works in Europe and the United States.

"By the way, the cover picture and illustration of "The Martian" have already arrived in your mailbox, and the efficiency of the National People's Congress Publishing House is still quite high, so I got the picture out so quickly."

Lin Han nodded, he and Chen Jiaxuan were walking in a foreign land, and they actually had a feeling of quiet years, which would feel very hypocritical in other places, but at this time it was not abrupt at all.

The two of them did not speak until they opened their own doors, and then they laughed at each other.

At the beginning of the reward for participating in the Mirror Newspaper's shortest novel essay competition, Lin Han felt that he was probably half a Mirror newspaper, and the other party would definitely not go too far when reporting his news, and there was a layer of incense.

After sending "Artificial Beauty" to the editor of the Mirror by email, Lin Han waited for the other party's reply, this short story is not many words, and it will be read soon.

While waiting for a reply, he made full use of his time, the cover and illustration design of "The Martian" are very beautiful and atmospheric, linking a lone astronaut to the vast red planet, making Lin Han feel full of powerlessness, how to survive.

Single-handedly confronting the entire planet, this cover shows the meaning of the novel, enough to attract the reader's eye, and perhaps this cover will be passed down with the reader's memory.

More than ten minutes later, the Mirror replied with an email, "We read your novel, it's a nice irony, it's going to have a good place." By the way, we welcome short stories in any form, submissions are welcome. ”

The Daily Mirror doesn't publish long or novellas, it mostly publishes short articles, and now when they see a miniature novel in the form of "Artificial Beauty", they can't help but start asking for it.

Since the other party had promised that he would have a good position in the newspaper the next day, Lin Han had nothing to worry about.

So he covered the computer, turned around and knocked on Chen Jiaxuan's door, and then sent her all the way to the airport security checkpoint.

……

One is busy with fashion week in Paris, and the other is roaming in the UK, Lin Han feels that he is very relaxed now, there is no manuscript task on his body, and he doesn't have to worry too much about doing anything.

Li Wenyuan sent the company's development to Lin Han every day as usual, and everything was very detailed, and the details were a mess, for fear that Lin Han, a small shareholder, would not understand.

It wasn't until nightfall that he had time to take a good look at the news about this side, the London Book Fair was a recent big event, and the online media was probably the first to react.

Many news networks were the first to publish the news about the London Book Fair, and also mentioned the matter of "i, robot".

Xin-Huawang: The London Book Fair was grandly opened, and Chinese science fiction writer Lin Han held a high-profile press conference with the English version of "I, Robot", and the signing scene was very hot.

Phoenix Entertainment: "I, Robot" has become the third Chinese book in the Penguin classic book series, and Lin Han has equaled Zhou Shuren and Qian Zhongshu!

Xin-Lang News: Mr. Marginson, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Penguin Publishing Group, came to the London Book Fair to cheer for Chinese writer Lin Han, and the physical version of the English version of "I, Robot" was sold on Amazon and other online markets.

Teng-Xun News: 100 sample books were sold out in half an hour, and the black guy bought them at a high price just to read them in advance!

Huan-Global Daily: Editor-in-Chief Alex personally refuted the rumors: "It is the right choice to choose "I, Robot" to join the classic book series", Chinese science fiction conquers the European and American public!

In addition, some media have also reported related news, "It is reported that the electronic version of the English version of "I, Robot" has been on the shelves for nearly two months, and the long-overdue physical version has less pre-sales, and the reader's attention is not high, and the sales volume is doubtful. ”

It is difficult for a Chinese science fiction translation to reach a market among the entrenched science fiction community, because the attention is limited, even though Penguin Publishing Group and St. Martin's have launched a media offensive.

However, out of surprise, the Sun, Britain's best-selling newspaper, published their interview with the London Book Fair in a prominent position.

"Chinese writer Han-Lin arrogantly said: Who is Brian Mark!"

The strong sense of sarcasm in the headline caught the eye of newspaper readers, because many people didn't know who Brian Mark was, and they wanted to see what was going on.

"The London Book Fair ushered in the first day of the event, Chinese science fiction writer Han-Lin was questioned for joining the Penguin Classics series, and Australian science fiction writer Brian Mark openly opposed the addition of "I, Robot" to the classic book series in an interview with Random House, believing that it was disrespectful to the rest of the writers, and that Chinese science fiction should be honed for a few more years, rather than entering the most authoritative series of books through improper means.

In the face of doubts, Han-Lin said in an interview that he did not know Brian Mark, claiming that only readers who have read the novel have the right to speak, and does not care about other people's evaluations. ”
