Chapter 391: A Genius in the Literary World
Speaking of which, Lin Han usually doesn't like the media very much, so he doesn't have many opportunities to appear in magazines, and even some online media have to go to great lengths to interview him. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
No one can refuse Time magazine, not even Lin Han has to be excited, this almost represents a signal from the outside world, even the Nobel Prize winner may not be able to appear on the cover of Time magazine, let alone the international edition!
Now published in New York by Time Warner, Time International's mission is to make world events accessible to busy people.
Time magazine has a variety of columns, such as economics, education, law, criticism, sports, religion, medicine, art, people, book reviews, and letters from readers.
It made extensive use of pictures and charts, and was the first magazine in the United States to report current affairs in a narrative style, breaking the monopoly of newspapers and radio on news for the mass periodicals, especially its news arrangement was imitated by news magazines at home and abroad.
Time magazine's readers are mainly middle-class and intellectual, and the magazine has a group of savvy and capable writers and reporters, as well as a large team of researchers, and its coverage can be said to be all over the world!
As a mass-oriented magazine, Time magazine has a circulation of more than 10 million per issue of different editions, making it the most influential magazine in the world!
Not to mention the annual selection of the 100 people who influence the world and the annual selection of the people of the year held by Time magazine, which are the focus of public attention, and each time the rest of the media go crazy.
Some language experts even pointed out that reading Time magazine is a shortcut to learn American English well.
The influence of the magazine can be seen!
……
"Did they say when they were coming?"
Lin Han was very concerned about this issue, and when he thought that he was going to appear on the cover of Time magazine, he seemed to be cured of his phobia of the camera at once.
Chen Jiaxuan shook her phone, "I'll come here this week, maybe the day after tomorrow, it is said that I have already purchased a ticket." They must really value you, otherwise they wouldn't have finalized you so quickly to be the cover character!"
"I feel the same way, maybe you have considered me before, the Nebula Award has increased my chips, I really don't know what I will interview, it's a little nervous. Lin Han rubbed his hands, he really didn't think he had anything touching to talk about.
Chen Jiaxuan rolled her eyes, she said angrily: "Anyway, if you have something to say, the writers of Time Magazine are very powerful, they must have found the direction, otherwise they would not have dug you." You're a writer, is it that difficult to polish your story a little?"
"It's not a good story in China, it's better to be true. Lin Han moved his shoulder, and he continued: "Before the reporter came, I will continue to translate the English version of "Inception" "Laying the Foundation", maybe when my issue of "Time" magazine was released, "The Foundation" was also listed in the world!"
obviously won the Nebula Award, but Lin Han did not swell at all, which is almost no different from before he did not win the award, except that he can look better on his resume.
In fact, Lin Han never doubted whether he could win the Hugo Award and the Nebula Award, sitting on so many science fiction masterpieces on the earth, even if he couldn't get it this year, then he would definitely have a chance next year and the year after!
As long as he continues to write excellent works, if those judges really don't give the award to themselves, I am afraid that they will be drowned by the bubble stars of readers, and the credibility of the award will be greatly affected.
The significance of the Nebula Award is very high, and it can be said that it is a step to the sky for ordinary writers, and they can rely on this award to brag about it for decades to come, and they have the confidence to bargain with the publishing house when they sign a new contract.
But for super best-selling authors, this award is used to improve themselves, and the contract they have signed with a publishing house or publishing group has reached the top level in the industry, and the icing on the cake of this award is more than practical!
So many domestic media outside are reporting on Lin Han's affairs, Chen Jiaxuan rejected batch after batch, she said to Lin Han: "Go write a book, I'm afraid that I can't help but press you out for an interview." ”
In order to make Chen Jiaxuan accept her request, those media even gave a packaging agreement, allowing Lin Han to give an interview opportunity to the artists under her studio after being interviewed, from "Southern People" to "Weekend Pictorial", from "GQ Zhizu" to "Ruili", and even "Sanlian Life Weekly", "New Weekly", "City Pictorial", "Vista See the World" and so on!
These magazines are extremely leading in the industry, and they are very useful for people in the entertainment industry to shape their style, and they can at least become popular if they publish a series of press releases from those magazines.
Fortunately, Chen Jiaxuan is not the kind of person who has no vision, she doesn't have many agency contracts in her hands now, and she also subconsciously assigns the work to the employees under her, and rarely brings star artists in person, and now only Lin Han is directly under her in the real sense.
Lin Han stood up, kissed her cheek, and said with a smile, "Do you want to come to the study to read with me or something?"
"Then will I disturb you?" Chen Jiaxuan's eyes lit up, she really wanted to be with Lin Han, even if it was to do business.
"No, maybe I'll have to look at you to relax my eyes after I've written for a while. ”
Chen Jiaxuan happily took out the romance novel she bought, she sat on the recliner in the study, looked at Lin Han who was facing the computer screen not far away, and smiled contentedly.
Although this is not a red sleeve fragrance, Lin Han is already satisfied, and when he looks up, he can see his girlfriend engrossed in flipping through the novel in his hand.
Stimulated by the beauty, inspiration poured out like a fountain, and Lin Han crackled and translated a sentence from Chinese into appropriate English.
The skeleton of the story "Foundation" originally came from Hollywood, and now it is not difficult to translate, mainly because the number of 100,000 words needs to be carefully translated.
It's not difficult to check for spellings or inconsistencies after translating a paragraph, but it's a bit time-consuming!
……
Time flashed by, and Lin Han's fans were still immersed in the joy of their idols winning the Nebula Award, and they didn't notice that Lin Han hadn't bubbled for several days, but the recent media exposure made them not feel it.
Because of Lin Han's success, his family background and education level have also been turned upside down, and there are even many more people who claim to be his classmates, friends, neighbors, and relatives on the Zhihu, Weibo, and Tianya forums!
These are almost the norm, most of them are adulterated, and only a small part of them are true, it depends on whether netizens can tell the difference.
Lin Han has always been secretive about the original owner's family, and he can only stay alone in Yanjing for the Spring Festival during the two Spring Festivals, which is not that he deliberately avoided it, he is really homeless!
When the original owner was in college, his family died in a car accident on the Shanghai-Rong Expressway, leaving only a property in the mountain city that was still under mortgage. But where can the original owner of the student afford to provide the house, only as a second-hand house is sold, used as his own tuition, and it is very expensive to study in an art school, especially the director department!
Ke Linhan never used the identity of the original owner as a tool for propaganda or to win sympathy, he just kept a low profile silently, never told it in public, and always used the real content of his novels to win readers.
Therefore, after the powerful reporters dug out Lin Han's life experience, those hardcore fans of the Hanlin Academy knew that there was this past, and other writers and celebrities wanted the world to know that only Lin Han would cover it tightly.
In fact, these reports did not hurt Lin Han, he just felt sorry for the original owner.
After parking outside a hemispherical building at the end of June, Lin Han and Chen Jiaxuan arrived at the Yenching Science and Technology Museum, where they will meet with the team of reporters from Time Magazine International, give interviews and shoot covers with future technology as the background!
At this time, it was the eve of the final exams for primary and secondary school students, so there were not many people in the science and technology museum, and there were huge dinosaur specimens, this towering skeleton was very eye-catching, Lin Han couldn't help but think of his "Jurassic Park", and even thought of the "Wonderful Night at the Museum".
At this time, Lin Han and the others didn't care about visiting the rest of the rest of the science and technology museums, and walked quickly towards the rest area in front, where several blonde foreigners were already sitting there waiting!
The international edition of Time magazine is the most important edition, and the rest of the European, Asian, and South Pacific editions are basically directly pulled from the international edition, and then some events in the region are added.
"Hi, it's a pleasure to meet you, the youngest best-selling author in China. I'm Lucas, the reporter in charge of this interview, and first of all, congratulations on winning two Nebula Awards, which looks incredible!"
After Lin Han shook hands with everyone here, he smiled and said, "Thank you." Why don't we sit down and talk, Lucas?"
The spectacled-eyed journalist looked in his forties, and his beard did not make him look strong, but rather elegant, as if he were a typical writer.
If you really want to put Lin Han and Lucas together, it is estimated that most people will say that Lucas is a world-renowned writer!
Lucas had already done some preparatory activities before the interview, he knew that Lin Han's appearance was comparable to those handsome male stars in Hollywood, and now after seeing the real person, he realized that he was worthy of his name.
"If you're ready, let's do an interview. ”
"Of course, no problem!"
"The topic of our interview today is called: Literary Wizards!" (To be continued.) )
