Chapter 280: Three-Body Problem English Version [Four Changes]
Writing poetry is just a dessert after tea and dinner for Lin Han, and his favorite thing is to write novels, but this "Mars" trilogy is not in the plan, frankly speaking, this series of novels has won a lot of honors, and it also has a lot of readers abroad. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
But Lin Han was not used to its translation and writing at the beginning, so he did not read it carefully, and he would not start writing unless the planned novel had been written.
He sent a copy of "On Mars" to Li Wenyuan, and then regardless of the other party's shouting, he walked to the balcony to breathe fresh air.
At the end of October, Yanjing had rare good weather, there was no haze or smoke, and a rare clear blue sky appeared in sight. In the garden of the community, people walking with pets are chatting leisurely, toddlers do not cry after falling on the grass, and little girls on bicycles laugh crisply.
"This is your poem?"
"Very well written!"
"When will I see it, I really want to share it with others"
"If you don't answer, I'm going to lose control of my hand, this is the inspiration for your new book?"
"Lin Han, don't pretend to be dead, come out quickly"
"How did you think to write about Mars again?"
After a while, Li Wenyuan wrote such a long series of words, as a science fiction writer, he understands how rare this form is, poetry never seems to have anything to do with science fiction, and Lin Han's poem is more like opening up a whole new world.
"Don't spread it out just yet, let's talk about it when it's published. By the way, I'm still writing "Three-Body Problem 2" at the moment, and I haven't thought about the rest of the things for the time being. ”
There are good things that can't be shared with others, Li Wenyuan is indeed a little disappointed, "I'll try to write science fiction poetry later, do you think this can be used in ancient science fiction poetry?"
"Well, I haven't tried it, but it should be difficult. Lin Han told the truth, it is difficult enough to combine modern poetry with science fiction, let alone ancient style poetry.
As if he had found something interesting, Li Wenyuan quickly said: "Then you continue to write novels, and I'll find the format of ancient style poems to imitate." ”
Around the same time, the editor of "Reader" magazine, Matcha Melon Seed, also sent a new message: "Our director said that he can accept your poem "On Mars", but he hopes that this kind of poem will not appear in the next few issues, is this okay?"
"No problem, I'm just experimenting, a new genre needs to be slowly pondered after it is born. Then you can keep busy, the legal staff is still working on the contract, and I will email you after it is signed. ”
"Okay, goodbye Mr. Lin"
"Bye-bye"
……
No matter what, if he can post a poem, Lin Han can't be too picky, he is a newcomer in the poetry world, and he must abide by the rules set by others.
He cherished the preservation of this poetic document separately while continuing to write the ending of The Dark Forest.
The novel is nearly 300,000 words, divided into three main parts, and after he skimmed through the previous text, he began to crackle.
Luo Ji slowly stood up, took one last look at Ye Wenjie's tombstone drinking Yang Dong, and staggered along the path where he came.
The ant had climbed to the top of the tombstone, proudly waving two savings at the newborn sun, and was the only witness to what had just happened, in terms of life on Earth alone.
……
'I have a dream that maybe one day, the bright sun will shine into the dark forest. ’
At this time, the sun here is setting, and now only a little bit of the top of the distant mountain is exposed, like a brilliant gem inlaid by Shishan E-commerce. The child had run away, bathing in the golden sunset with the meadow.
The sun is about to set, and your children are not afraid?
Of course she wasn't afraid, she knew the sun would rise tomorrow. ’”
After typing on the unfinished words to be continued, Lin Han knew that this "Three-Body Problem 2: Dark Forest" was over, and he dragged the document to the front with some emotion and began to seriously review the novel.
Writing too fast, his fingers can't keep up with the rhythm of thinking, sometimes he will make typos, he needs to proofread it himself first, and then hand it over to the magazine, which is a sign of responsibility.
This time, he no longer imagines himself as an author, but restores himself to the identity of the reader, and feels the shock of the soul from the reader's point of view.
The grandeur of the universe and the insignificance of human beings, the application of the laws of the dark forest, and the temporary success of the wall-facing plan also made Lin Han breathe a sigh of relief, he knew that this was just the calm before the storm, and the dark tide was surging under the calm ocean.
Different from browsing at a glance and ten lines, Lin Han is now reviewing word by word, and he has not seen a third of it at night.
Lin Han left a bookmark where he stayed, and then turned off the computer, he packed up his wallet key and went out to have dinner with Chen Jiaxuan, she sent a WeChat message saying that she would get off work immediately.
The evening rush hour is never a lie, and after a while, Lin Han came to the downstairs of Chen Jiaxuan's office, and at this time they all had employees working overtime to do publicity planning.
Gentleman Lin Han helped Chen Jiaxuan open the car door, and then closed it, before he turned to the other side and sat in the driver's seat, and then fastened his seat belt, "I finished writing "Dark Forest" today, and I will probably finish checking it tomorrow, and then I will give it to the People's Publishing House, so that they can start the publishing process." ”
"It's so fast, you have to combine work and rest when you write, and I've never heard anyone say you can write as fast. Chen Jiaxuan had heard that someone had died suddenly from overwork while writing novels, and she couldn't wait to install an alarm clock for Lin Han to remind him to rest at any time.
"Don't worry, I know what to expect, I just recently downloaded a video game. ”
After the two came to a hot pot restaurant, they began to order food seriously, and the night in late autumn was a little cold, so it was good to eat some hot pot spicy.
The hot pot here is very authentic, Lin Han felt a little spicy, but Chen Jiaxuan still didn't feel it, she touched her stomach, and said a little melancholy: "I shouldn't have eaten so much if I knew it, eating a hot pot will shatter my previous weight loss plan." ”
Lin Han didn't care about this, he sandwiched a quail egg into Chen Jiaxuan's bowl, "Just eat hot pot and exercise, and lose weight doesn't rely on dieting." I think you're in just the right shape right now, there's no need to make ribs, they don't feel good. ”
"You're right, when you're almost digested, I'll go to bed on the treadmill for half an hour at 11 o'clock. ”
"Let's go together, I didn't go to exercise today, I think it's better to exercise in bed to lose weight. ”
Chen Jiaxuan glared at Lin Han, "Hot pot can't stop your mouth, eat quickly." ”
"That's it!"
……
It was already past nine o'clock in the evening after eating the hot pot, and they shook it on the street to let the night breeze blow away the smell of the hot pot on their bodies, and then drove back to their homes.
Turning on the light in the living room, Chen Jiaxuan took off her shoes and threw them aside, as a practitioner in the entertainment industry, she didn't know what to watch when she turned on the TV, and finally fixed the channel on the live sports broadcast.
"How many more emails, it's nothing. Lin Han just picked up the ipad, but there was a message on it, he clicked in and took a look, and found that it was actually sent by Penguin Publishing Group.
Chen Jiaxuan looked at the girls of the women's volleyball team on the TV, and asked casually: "What's the matter, I'm still looking for you so late." ”
"The English version of "The Three-Body Problem" has been translated, and they sent me the full text of Liu Yukun's translation, asking me to see if there is anything wrong, and hoping that I, the original author, can give them the news within three days. At the same time, I was also sent a physical book cover in English, which is so beautiful!"
Lin Han clicked on the high-definition non-watermark picture of the cover, and shifted his gaze to the screen, Chen Jiaxuan couldn't help but be surprised, "This is the cover? I think it's completely a poster of a Hollywood sci-fi blockbuster, it's so feeling!"
The cover in front of me describes the scene in the three-body game, the shape of the pyramid and the one-eyed is very eye-catching, and the three suns are also faintly hanging in the air, with their own force.
This looks much more sci-fi than the cover of the Chinese Simplified Chinese version, and it is impossible to take your eyes off it, and Lin Han wants to share it with his fans.
"I took this picture down and made it as a wallpaper, and if I want to make a movie in the future, I can use it as a poster. Lin Han lowered his head and began to operate, and at the same time he downloaded the translated English version of the novel.
The three-body problem in the previous life was also translated by Liu Yukun, although the age of Xiao Liu in this life has deviated, but the skill is still there, Lin Han slowly browsed it, and felt that it was not much different from the previous life.
As an authentic science fiction fan and three-body fan, Lin Han bought a bilingual hardcover physical book as a collection, so he has read the English version of "The Three-Body Problem", which is translated in English as "The Three-Body Problem", which is more like a scientific research paper.
Due to the time difference, it may be daytime in Europe and the United States, and the emails he sent were quickly replied, and Penguin Publishing Group agreed with Lin Han's approach of announcing the cover of the novel, thinking that it would be a good publicity.
Therefore, Lin Han simply posted the same content on Twitter, Facebook and Weibo: "Double happiness is coming today, the first draft of "Three-Body Problem 2: Dark Forest" has been written, and now it is being revised and proofread, and it will be handed over to the publishing house later." In addition, the English version of "The Three-Body Problem" has also been translated, and it will be seen around the world in the near future.
Today is destined to be a carnival day for the Three-Body Sect!
