Chapter 200 Lin Han teaches you to write science fiction
The Science Popular Science Writers Association regularly holds similar salons every year, inviting members of associations from different regions to gather together. The topics of each issue are different, but in fact it is more like a gathering of writers.
Unlike the Provincial Writers Association and the National Writers Association, almost all the members of the Popular Science Writers Association are related to science fiction and popular science, so there is not much generation gap when talking, and everyone is a fanatical science fiction enthusiast.
Although Li Wenyuan also received the invitation, he wanted to go to the Sichuan Guards to participate in a puzzle program to promote his new book, so he could only regret being absent.
In other words, Lin Han will face so many strangers alone, as well as those who once stabbed the Tsinghua University auditorium. This feeling is really wonderful.
In fact, Lin Han didn't hate them, but was a little grateful. If it weren't for Teng Haiyun, Zhao Zhuowei and others "helping", he wouldn't have the chance to stand in the Tsinghua auditorium to give so many big bulls. In the future, the big bulls can make speeches, and the Mars project team will be able to enter the Mars project team.
I drove to the hotel booked by the association. At this time, many people were chatting on the spot. Most of them were old friends and there were very few newcomers who joined each year.
Now when they first saw Lin Han's new face, they couldn't help but stop their words and focus on Lin Han.
"Hello everyone, my name is Lin Han. I'm the first time I've attended a salon like this. Is there anything to pay attention to?"
He admitted his shortcomings openly and hoped not to be isolated by these writers.
There are very few young science fiction writers and popular science writers, and these people rarely see Lin Han on other occasions. They all know the name Lin Han and its influence later.
Originally, some people did not plan to come to the "science fiction lecture hall", but after hearing that Lin Han would come to the scene for communication, he temporarily changed his mind and ran over.
Teng Haiyun moved his butt a little uneasy. Lin Han is completely different from the time he used to be. Lin Han was just an ordinary science fiction writer. Now he has returned with reputation and is the first person in Asia to win the Hugo Award.
Perhaps this award is not as famous as the Galaxy Award in the eyes of ordinary people. This is the base camp of science fiction writers. Which of them doesn’t pay attention to the Hugo Award?
This is the highest award in this industry. After Lin Han won the award, these writers also celebrated happily. In particular, the staff of the Science Popularization Writers Association were even more grateful that they had done their jobs and absorbed Lin Han in advance.
The writers here have a complicated feeling about Lin Han. They are somewhat pleased with the successors of science fiction, but they are also somewhat envious of achieving achievements they have never achieved at a young age.
"You are Lin Han. We heard that you have been here for a long time. Come and talk to us about the Hugo Awards."
"You should become famous as soon as possible. Your Yangtze River is simply a tide of Qiantang River!"
"Finally, we're curious about how you wrote science fiction so well, every book is so popular and highly praised."
"A short story I posted last month was scolded to death, and I wanted to take it back and rewrite it."
Lin Han could feel the kindness in this, and he was not afraid of anything. He sat on the sofa and picked up a bottle of mineral water and took a sip, then said, "Actually, I am still exploring myself. It may only take a month or even half a month to write a novel, but before that, I have to conceive for a long time, and draw inspiration from different science fiction books, the latest science fiction movies, and every year's cutting-edge scientific research articles."
The creativity of a science fiction novel is very precious, and behind a novel is one or two creatives supported by it, so writers will not communicate with their peers during their conception and writing.
Another person suddenly began to ask: "Do you think soft science fiction is better or hard science fiction? I found that readers today prefer hard science fiction novels, and even those science fiction online are considered science fiction? They are all fantasy and cultivation novels in science fiction skin, not to mention the infinite flow."
"Science fiction does not need to be divided into soft and hard, as long as it can tell a good story. As for online science fiction, it is a new type, very creative, and some well-written fine novels are also worth reading. As for infinite flow, this is probably a fan of science fiction elements, right?"
Lin Han said it cautiously. He has experienced the days of looking for science fiction novels online for reading. He has also read many science fiction online articles in his previous life, but few of them can be called real science fiction works, and only a few of them can attract attention.
This is actually hard science fiction does not meet the needs of online novels. The reader groups of both sides are inconsistent, so Lin Han has no intention of writing online novels at all, which means nothing to him.
Although the name of this salon is called the lecture hall, they are basically communicating with each other. Now people ask Lin Han from time to time, and he is energetic and answers one by one. Sometimes, Lin Han deals with the statements of making things difficult.
"It is necessary to master certain hardware knowledge. Even soft science fiction must be convincing, rather than being wild and absurd, and there are no logical loopholes. This is a brand new world. Also, establish a writing framework, and as with normal novels, at least the structure cannot be wrong."
Lin Han himself likes hard science fiction very much, but sometimes it is not difficult to compromise for the work, and he is not stubborn.
The other writers also talked about their own experiences, how to write science fiction novels well, how to make up for the mistakes in the novels, and how to link them to real life. Everyone said it was wonderful.
Lin Han has made several friends in this time. This is a serious exchange. A novel feels from the inspiration that the final product is like cooking. The same ingredients are cooked by different chefs and will have different flavors.
"What is the core of this science fiction novel? What kind of world does the story take place? What kind of story, length, perspective, style, and rhythm is this? What kind of person or creature is the protagonist of the story? Has there any help to write a biography of the protagonist?"
Now Lin Han is learning from others how to describe a full character, starting from the character's appearance, preferences, habitual actions and catchphrases, what are his beliefs, dreams, specialties, whether there are weaknesses, and who are his partners and enemies?
The most important thing is what force drives the protagonist from the beginning to the end. Lin Han thinks that such a salon is the time to learn from his strengths and weaknesses, and he can also listen to gossip in the science fiction circle.
