In the blink of an eye, a few days passed.

On this day, Liu Xiaohui brought home a magazine and an envelope from work.

"Xiao Mu, your "Science Fiction World" magazine has arrived, by the way, there is also a letter."

"Got it."

Li Mu took the magazine and the letter in the past, turned around and went back to his room.

Speaking of which, the original body is still a science fiction fan, and the study room is full of "Science Fiction World" magazine.

"Science Fiction World" is a magazine edited and published by Science Fiction World Magazine, and it is also the world's largest circulation science fiction magazine, and has also hosted the annual meeting of the World Science Fiction Association in 91.

Over the past 20 years, with the care and support of millions of readers, the science fiction world has launched countless high-quality and highly collectible science fiction works, and has also cultivated a large number of excellent local science fiction writers.

This includes Liu Cixin, a famous Chinese science fiction giant in later generations, in fact, Liu Cixin has become famous at this time, but his fame is still limited to science fiction circles.

At this time, Liu Cixin's most prestigious "Three-Body Problem" has not yet been created, the Hugo Award has not yet been won, Guanhai has not revealed in the "New York Times" that he will read "The Three-Body Problem" every day, and Zuckerberg has not begun to Amway "The Three-Body Problem" - so although Liu Cixin at this time is well-known in the mainland science fiction circle, few people in the outside world know about his existence.

The circle of science fiction is still too closed for the time being, in all types of literature, romance, thriller, martial arts, officialdom, which category has works that sell 500,000 or even more than 1 million, but in the circle of science fiction, there are very few works that even sell more than 100,000.

Before "The Three-Body Problem", Liu Cixin's highest-selling work was "Ball Lightning" written next year, and the sales volume could exceed 50,000.

Like later generations, the sales volume of Da Liu's "Three-Body Problem" exceeded 20 million, and its copyright value is even more incalculable.

The couple who bought the film and television rights of "The Three-Body Problem" with 100,000 yuan back then sold it for 120 million a few years later, and the one who earned it was called a murder.

By the way, the letter just now was written by Liu Cixin to the original body.

The original is an avid science fiction fan.,In addition to ordering "Science Fiction World" magazines on a daily basis, he occasionally writes to his favorite authors to discuss the plot, and sometimes even confides in the author about some of the troubles that he wants to write science fiction novels but is worried that he is not capable enough, but I didn't expect Da Liu to really reply this time.

Li Mu opened the envelope and read it, to put it simply, in addition to thanking the original body for liking his work in the letter, Da Liu also advised the original body that if he really likes science fiction, then he might as well write and try. He also said that before writing, he had also been apprehensive, and he was worried that his knowledge was not enough to be a writer, let alone write the most difficult science fiction theme.

But when he really started writing, he found that the most difficult thing about writing was to start writing.

After reading the reply, Li Mu fell into deep thought.

At present, the circle of science fiction is indeed too small, but if you take a long-term view, you will find that there is actually a lot to be done.

The box office of "The Wandering Earth" in later generations can sell 4.6 billion is proof of this.

The current domestic science fiction market is far from mature, but there will always be a mature day in the future. As a traverser who knows the development trajectory of later generations, Li Mu feels that he can do something in advance.

He didn't plan to plagiarize Liu Cixin's "Three-Body Problem", he just wrote a letter to encourage him, and he couldn't pull this face.

He will not limit his sights to only China, so many classic science fiction novels, film and television dramas in the world have not yet been released at this time, and he can write the works he values in advance.

"Science Fiction World" magazine has a certain influence in the world, and there is a certain degree of communication with the world's peers, he can use the platform of "Science Fiction World" to publish works abroad, the domestic science fiction market is immature, foreign countries are different, and science fiction works with sales of more than 100 million are not unusual.

And in the future, the domestic science fiction market will mature sooner or later, and he will shoot these science fiction works at that time.

So which work to write first?

Li Mu sat on the computer chair and looked through the magazines he had just received, and first looked at the catalogs: Special Planning, Galaxy Award Essays, Daily One Star, and Ultra-short Science Fiction .......

I didn't see Da Liu's name, but there were two authors he knew: Luo Longxiang and Yang Guifu.

Li Mu roughly flipped through it, there were no too long works, let alone too amazing works. Anyway, from Li Mu's point of view, it's not that he can't see it, but if there are other pastimes, he won't look at these things.

After all, he is from 20 years later, and science fiction works are precisely works that pay attention to the times, and many things that are still fantasy and dare not think about may be rotten in a few years.

So he even has a faint sense of naivety when he looks at these authors.

In a sense, Li Mu can write excellent science fiction works even if he doesn't copy.

He will already be the world's top science fiction work if he writes the world as it will be in the next 20 years, and it is a work that can fully withstand the test of history.

When the things written in his books appear in the real world one by one in the future, he can even be canonized as a god, and he can transform from a science fiction writer to a prophet.

Thinking too much, he retracted his thoughts.

"Galaxy Award Essay."

Li Mu said silently in his mouth.

Liu Cixin has won the Galaxy Award many times before winning the Hugo Award, and the Galaxy Award is the highest honor in the Chinese science fiction industry, and if he can win the Galaxy Award, it doesn't seem bad.

So it's still the question at the beginning, which work to write?

Be original yourself?

Don't be funny, he was original before he crossed, and he was original after crossing, so he didn't cross in vain?

Write a short story to test the water first, and you don't have to write about those famous things when you come up, just write a general work first.

After thinking about it, he set his sights on a low-budget sci-fi movie he had seen in his previous life.

The story is that the male protagonist signs a 3-year contract with Moon Heavy Industries, and what he needs to do is to mine helium-3, the original energy source in the lunar soil, on the surface of the moon.

This is an unusually lonely job for the protagonist, because the satellite used to communicate with the Earth in real time has been broken for a long time, and he is the only living person in the entire lunar base, and there is only one intelligent robot that assists him in his work.

The silence made time even more difficult, but fortunately, the three-year contract was coming to an end, and he was about to return to Earth to reunite with his wife and daughter.

However, after three years of working on the moon, his health became worse and worse, and he often hallucinated, which caused him to be unable to concentrate at work, and as a result, he had a serious accident while driving the lunar rover.

……

Li Mu completed the creation of the novel in only three days, and then he searched the Internet for the submission method of the "Science Fiction World" Galaxy Award essay, and then sent this work called "The Moon".

It is worth mentioning that this low-budget sci-fi film with an investment of only a few million dollars won more than ten awards that year, and even 20 years later, it is still talked about by many sci-fi fans.

On Douban, 260,000 people gave the movie a high score of 8.5.

The Los Angeles Times commented: "If you want to talk about the impact of "Moon" in the future, then it is simply "2009: A Space Odyssey." This is a work that can be compared to Kubrick's "2001: A Space Odyssey". ”

By the way, this film also won the 2010 Hugo Award - "Hugo Award for Best Dramatic Performance Long Drama Award", that's right, it is the "Hugo Award" won by science fiction boss Liu Cixin, but Liu Cixin won the Hugo Award for Best Feature, and this movie won the "Best Drama Performance Long Drama Award".

In terms of the weight of the award, it is still Da Liu's one that is a little more sufficient.
