Chapter 647: Principal's Invitation (500 Monthly Pass Plus Update)

After completing the soundtrack of the film, the progress of the film can basically be seen, but the efficiency of the British company MPC is really worrying. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Although Lin Han repeatedly urged over there, the employees still got off work at the end of the day and rarely worked overtime to catch up, so there was not much progress even with "The Matrix".

Lin Han pondered when to go to London to see, and by the way, he communicated face-to-face with the special effects director of MPC, after all, there are still two movies in the future, and if the special effects of the first part are finished, you can start to do the next ones!

It's rare to give yourself a vacation, the hot summer has passed, and now Yanjing has ushered in a cool autumn.

With Chai Chai Xiaochubbydun, Chen Jiaxuan and Lin Han went to see the maple leaves in the suburbs of Yanjing, but not in Xiangshan, but in the Badaling Red Leaf Ridge Scenic Area.

This is the earliest place to come to Yanjing in autumn, and it is a must-go place to enjoy the red in autumn, and there are quite a lot of tourists!

Walking slowly along the hiking trail in the valley, Lin Han and the two legends said that in the "equator" that is red through half the sky, he stretched out his hand to caress the traces of time left on the ancient Great Wall, and the whole person has a feeling of open-mindedness.

If you don't go to the Great Wall, you are not a hero, the maple leaves are like blood, and you think about a few centuries ago, here was once a golden iron horse and a battlefield soldier, as if you have returned to ancient times.

Lin Han took off the sunglasses on the bridge of his nose, and the red maple leaves all over the mountains in front of him merged with the magnificent ancient Great Wall, which looked like it had a strong visual impact!

There were too many tourists on the observation deck, and it was quite inconvenient to bring firewood, so the two of them quickly walked down from the top and came to the autumn leaf forest to get up close and personal with the trees.

"There are still fewer people here, and the firewood is almost squeezed just now. Chen Jiaxuan said exaggeratedly, she picked up a fallen leaf from the ground, held it in her hand and gently swirled around.

Lin Han untied the leash around Chai Chai's neck, and said to Chen Jiaxuan: "The air here is much better than in the city, it would be nice if you lived here for a long time." ”

Neither of them is the kind of person who likes to take pictures, they prefer to remember the beautiful scenery with their eyes, Chai Chai finally left the crowd, and is now circling in the pile of dead leaves, having a good time.

Lin Han turned his head to look, and could vaguely see the beautiful backbone of the Great Wall looming behind him, which meandered through the red leaves like a sea of flowers, like a giant dragon hidden in the clouds, revealing a scaly claw.

The two of them held hands and walked in the maple leaf forest, and the little chubby dun not far away ran away for a while, and ran back with a wail for a while, as if urging them to hurry up, and time seemed to freeze at this moment!

It's just that Lin Han's mobile phone rang at an inopportune time, and the atmosphere was destroyed all of a sudden.

took out his mobile phone and saw that it was a call from Cai Yu, as the vice president of Peking University, he should be very busy, Lin Han didn't know what it was for.

"Hey, Principal Cai?"

After Cai Yu sat in the office and heard Lin Han's voice, he immediately spoke: "Xiao Lin, how are you doing with your movies recently?

Lin Han replied truthfully: "80% is completed, and it will be slowly grinded by time." ”

"Here's the thing, you haven't been to the school for a semester to offer classes, and your classmates miss you so much that they want to hear you lecture again. The principal's mailbox is almost all calling on us to find you to start classes, maybe when you log in to our unnamed bbs to know. ”

Unnamed BBS is an internal forum exclusive to Yenching University, and it is also the spiritual home of Peking University people, where many students are active in the school, and there are also seniors who have graduated in the past to interact.

In today's special school affairs zone, there are quite a lot of people who are suggesting that Mr. Lin Han should return to school to teach!

Originally, Lin Han was a visiting professor, not a full-time university teacher, and he didn't need to teach students every semester, especially this year when he was still busy shooting movies.

In August, Lin Han received a call from the Academic Affairs Office of Yenching University asking if he could set up a course when the semester started in September, but at that time, "The Matrix" had not yet been completed, let alone entered the post-production stage, and it was obviously not easy to find time to teach classes to students at Yenching University!

After Lin Han weighed it several times, he replied to the Academic Affairs Office that he would not be in class for the time being this semester and could not be distracted.

It has been almost a month since the start of school, and Lin Han received a call from Vice Principal Cai Yu again, "You mean to let me go back to school to continue classes?"

"Yes, you're a sign of our school right now. There are many freshmen who applied to Peking University because of you, and now they are all waiting for you!"

Cai Yu deliberately said it so seriously, and this invitation can be regarded as sincere.

"It's been a month since school started, if I go to class again, won't it overlap with many people's schedules?" Lin Han was still a little worried, it would be bad if he went in and misled people's children.

"Then you don't have to worry, can't you make up a class with thousands of people in the whole school? As long as you are willing to open a public elective class, it is estimated that it will be filled in a few minutes. ”

Since Cai Yu said so, Lin Han is no longer hypocritical, no matter how tight the time is, there is no problem with taking two hours a week to go to class.

"Then Principal Cai will help me arrange the time on Monday afternoon, is it still this old time, does the location need to be changed?"

Lin Han was worried about whether the two-hundred-person lecture hall could accommodate so many students, and when he was in class before, even the students were sitting in the aisle, and every time he came, he had to occupy a seat long in advance, which was the most popular course in Peking University.

Cai Yu smiled with satisfaction, "It's in the old place, I can't let you go to the 800-person hall to give a speech." It's not very suitable for daily lessons. ”

"That's from next Monday, right? The name of the course will be science fiction literature and science fiction film and television, this time adding some film and television appreciation and commentary. ”

Anyway, they are all public elective courses, so it is naturally no problem to cover a wide range of subjects, Cai Yu has no objection to this, he replied: "I will arrange for the Academic Affairs Office to open the course selection system, and the final list of students will be handed over to you on Monday." ”

However, Lin Han had never used that thing for roll call, after all, every time the classroom was full, it was better to talk more about the content than to waste time on roll call.

"No problem, I'll get ready for the weekend. ”

Lin Han had already been on the podium, so he wasn't very nervous right now.

After hanging up the phone, Chen Jiaxuan joked: "It seems that the students of Peking University really love you, obviously Tsinghua is more suitable for you." ”

Peking University Tsinghua University is one of the top two universities in China, and it is a matter of pride to be a visiting professor in one of them.

Lin Han twisted his neck, and he replied, "I have to do the syllabus when I go back at night, and I can't think of where to say anything." ”

One of the evidences that people often see that science fiction is prosperous and developed abroad is that there are many universities that offer more than 300, 400, and 500 science fiction courses.

A foreign magazine called "Science Fiction Research" once listed the official courses related to science fiction offered by colleges and universities in North America that year, and the number of science fiction did reach hundreds!

Of course, science fiction in North America belongs to a broad concept, including fantasy and utopia, etc., and even science fiction awards such as the Hugo Award also include magical fiction works, which can compete for the Hugo Award together.

What is the purpose of having a science fiction course in a university?

Lin Han thinks that this can make a correct and systematic introduction to science fiction, let the public have a correct concept of science fiction, and further cultivate domestic science fiction writing talents!

Traditional education focuses too much on memorizing knowledge, while science fiction works can open the door to children's imagination and make up for the lack of orthodox education.

Most of the people who can be admitted to Yenching University are the top students among the top students, and they can even be called the level of scholars, most of them are not dead readers, but have multiple qualities that go hand in hand.

If Lin Han wants to change the domestic science fiction environment, he can only take it step by step, starting with the college students who are most likely to accept science fiction thinking.

In fact, in addition to promoting science fiction and cultivating imagination, science fiction courses in colleges and universities are very important indicators for whether such an academic direction as science fiction research can be recognized by the mainstream academic circle and whether it can be further developed!

Even when American science fiction studies entered the mainstream academic circle, it began with science fiction entering college courses in the fifties of the last century.

What exactly can science fiction teach in a college classroom?

Nothing more than a few of the biggest categories, such as science fiction literature, science fiction film and television, philosophy of science, scientific knowledge, or science fiction creation.

Previously, Lin Han taught science fiction literature appreciation, because literature is the earliest and most important type of science fiction, so this is the most common science fiction course content in Europe and the United States!

Lin Han taught general education courses and professional courses in the two semesters, and the general education course is the first semester, which covers a wide range of subgenres and themes of science fiction, but mainly focuses on the introduction and appreciation of science fiction, and is aimed at students of all backgrounds and levels. The professional course is the second semester, and after the students have absorbed the content of the previous semester, they will grasp a certain topic or direction for in-depth theoretical exploration.

Science fiction film and television is a new course content added by Lin Han this time, science fiction movies are another major science fiction genre, and compared with science fiction literature, the majority of students like to see it!

It happened to be the time when the freshmen entered the campus, Lin Han decided to use science fiction film and television as the material for the course, let the students watch a certain movie in advance, and then appreciate or comment on the movie with the students in class.

In many cases, the content of science fiction literature and film and television can be combined with each other in the course, and even corroborate each other, so Lin Han set the name of the course as "Science Fiction Literature and Science Fiction Film and Television"!

Science fiction philosophy is responsible for the professors of the philosophy department, and scientific knowledge is simply not Lin Han's knowledge field, science fiction literature creation is basically for the students of the literature department or the Chinese department, not suitable for the whole school!
