Chapter 708: Filming Starts (500 Monthly Pass Plus Update)
In the dormitory of the Department of Hydropower Engineering of North China Institute of Water Resources and Hydropower, Liu Cixin looked at the "Science and Art" in his roommate's hand, and couldn't help but ask curiously, "What are you looking at?" So excited to watch? "Yes, Da Liu, who will work at the Niangziguan Thermal Power Plant in the future, studied hydropower during college.
"This article is really well written, give it, you can read it too!" The roommate handed the magazine to Liu Cixin, pointed to the name of the article, and strongly recommended him to read it.
"The Village Teacher? Write about the country school? Isn't this science fiction? Liu Cixin muttered, but he still took a serious look, now that entertainment life is scarce, it is already a good enjoyment to have a book.
Hey? How can there be aliens, soon Liu Cixin was attracted by the war that spanned the entire galaxy, and at the same time was curious about the two obviously unrelated elements of the village school and the interstellar war appearing in the same story, but seeing the final ending, Liu Cixin began to admire this exquisite setting again.
This kind of imagination is really amazing, this is what science fiction should look like, Liu Cixin couldn't help but feel obsessed with this novel literary form, he pushed his glasses, and quickly went back to read it again, after reading it for the second time, it was not enjoyable, and he watched it for the third time and the fourth time.
It wasn't until his roommate took the magazine back that he reluctantly woke up from this whimsical story, although the magazine was taken back, the charm of science fiction took root in Liu Cixin's heart, and his heart swelled with irrepressible desire to create, perhaps, I can also try to write science fiction?
In Chongqing, in the classroom of a middle school, Han Song, who has just entered his first year of high school this year, holds "Science Fiction Literature and Art" and reads it with relish; In Yichun, Heilongjiang, Yao Haijun saw a unique magazine from the math teacher's desk; In the dormitory of Jiaotong University, not far from Shen Long's room, Wang Jinkang, who is thirty-three years old this year but is only in his fourth year of college, is waving magazines everywhere to introduce this magical story to his roommates......
In Chengdu, Yang Xiao also learned the true identity of Sun Shaoping, he is not an ordinary science fiction lover, but a well-known serious literary writer, which makes her quite encouraging, although science fiction is now booming, but it is still not valued by the traditional literary circle.
A serious writer entering the field of science fiction creation is a major affirmation of science fiction literature, and it is also the best encouragement for science fiction writers like her.
However, just one article is not enough, maybe I should ask him for a manuscript, use this opportunity to continue to expand the influence of science fiction literature, and even ask him what he thinks of the popular "surname science or surname text".
As soon as he thought of it, Yang Xiao immediately wrote an enthusiastic letter, in which Yang Xiao expressed his gratitude to Shen Long, and then asked him for a manuscript and asked him for his views on the future of science fiction.
Shen Long readily agreed, and then sent the manuscript of "China Sun" over, the protagonist of this story, Shui Wa, is somewhat similar to Sun Shaoping, they were also born in the yellow earth, also worked in coal mines, and are also based on reality but full of romantic fantasies.
At the same time, Shen Long also promised to join the debate on the current problems faced by science fiction, and now the two sides of the debate are only analyzing the problems from their own perspectives, and few people will realize that they will face additional pressure; Shen Long wants to make Chinese science fiction literature continue to thrive through his own efforts, and not die young.
This is not something that can be solved in one or two articles, and the opponents you need to face are not only scientists, but whether it is a scientist or a politician, Shen Long has a full understanding, and he believes that he can solve these problems, no matter what, it will not be worse than the original, right?
For Shen Long to start science fiction creation, there are naturally those who support and oppose, after the publication of "Village Teacher", the people of the Federation of Literary and Art Circles found Shen Long to talk, and he was quite angry about his science fiction creation, Shen Long knew that it was very difficult to change people's inherent thinking, so after he popularized the importance of science fiction literature, he took out the "Loess High Sky" that he was writing recently and reflected the entrepreneurship of rural entrepreneurs.
Now the other party stopped talking, although this is Shen Long's original work, the quality is still quite guaranteed, and it is of great practical significance, which is exactly the favorite theme of the serious literary world; Seeing that Shen Long had not given up serious literary creation, he was relieved, and left after a few words of encouragement.
After he left, Shen Long continued to write and revise "Loess High Heaven", while pondering which work should he copy for his third science fiction? I'm really embarrassed to always copy Da Liu alone, as for He Xi, Han Song and Wang Jinkang's works, he didn't think of anything suitable for a while.
Don't want to be a little bolder? Try to copy Liu Yukun's work? Liu Yukun is a Chinese-American science fiction writer in the United States, and he has also won the Hugo Award, and the quality of his articles is still guaranteed.
Maybe try to rewrite "Happy Hunting"? Before entering "Ordinary World", Shen Long happened to watch the large-scale animated series "Love, Death and Robots", and was deeply impressed by the "Happy Hunting" adapted from Liu Cixin's works.
This story tells the story of a demon slayer named Liang and a fox spirit named Yan in the late Qing Dynasty, Liang met Yan when he was a child but let her go and became friends; As the times change, the power of science replaces the power of magic, Yan's power becomes weaker and weaker, and Liang comes to the steampunk-style Xiangjiang.
In Xiangjiang, Liang began to learn mechanical knowledge and became a genius mechanic, while Yan fell into the dust and was finally transformed into a machine by the governor, Yan wanted revenge, so he found Liang and asked him to transform himself into a mechanical fox and start to take revenge on those colonists.
"Happy Hunting" is very difficult to transform, although the scale of Liu Yukun's original work is much smaller than that of cartoons, it is still not suitable for publication in this era, and Shen Long has to work hard to change it.
Before Shen Long could change "Happy Hunting", a good news came from the capital, Chen Kaige successfully completed the film shooting project of "Yellow Earth", and was about to go to Huangyuan to shoot on the spot.
Soon after, Chen Kaige and Zhang Yimou came to Shaanxi, found Shen Long, and planned to communicate with him first.
