Chapter 243 Rewarding both refined and popular, word-of-mouth counterattack
In the last time in the science fiction writer salon, Lin Han was just a young writer who was not valued, but this time he became the center of the topic. This change was just a gap between one or two books.
There are many writers who become famous at a young age, and there are few people like him who are famous and low-key. Besides, with the great god Tong Yonglie being supported by, those who originally thought about it had already shut up and began to regret it.
Commenting on Lin Han's "The Three-Body Problem" is a particularly difficult thing, because there are too many angles to choose. It is easy to see that the ambitions shown in "The Three-Body Problem" are very large. It is not only trying to systematically organize and transcend the sequence of its works, but more importantly, it is trying to give some attempts to achieve the connotation of the word science fiction.
Lin Han, who is already famous in the lounge, has no intention of showing his strength, so he just listens in the salon and rarely expresses his own opinions. If he almost tells the content and settings of the next two novels, it would be a bad idea.
A few hours later, Lin Han drove in a cake shop. Today was Chen Jiaxuan's birthday. He was going to buy a cake to celebrate, and of course there were small romantic arrangements.
He took the cakes booked in advance and placed them carefully in the passenger seat. He drove the car very smoothly, for fear that the cake box would suddenly fly out.
After Lin Han arrived at home, he processed the Australian steak, prepared red wine, and made Western food at home. Candlelight dinner was not difficult for him, after all, he had superb cooking skills.
Everything is ready, just waiting for the hostess to come back. Even on her birthday, Chen Jiaxuan is still working hard. She is busy helping her artists borrow red carpet dresses from the Hundred Flowers Awards and dealing with many foreign brands.
There was nothing wrong with each other, so Lin Han simply walked to the study and turned on the computer to kill time.
He wants to play games now, but there seems to be very few games linked to science fiction. Not to mention the "Resident Evil" series, there is no "Hao" (also known as "Hao"), nor "Fallout", and Lin Han's favorite "Mass Effect" series.
Lin Han was still playing "eve" (Eve on the Eve of Star Wars), and at that time, he had just released a new expansion pack "The Defender".
However, in this world, Blizzard has always existed, so it is better to play StarCraft than nothing. He can't wait to play the text decryption game of "Martian Rescue", but at least he will have to wait until the end of the year to be tested.
As the author of the novel, he naturally has a place to try it out in advance.
After playing with Zerg, Lin Han's computer radiator turned into a fan, and the sound of the laptop could fry eggs.
"It seems like you have to change to a good computer. This computer is a bit stuck in playing games."
Lin Han made so much money, and it would be a drop in the bucket when changing to an alien computer. However, when typing, he prefers to use a mechanical keyboard, which does not hurt his hands and is also very fast.
If you can't play the game, you can only browse the web to pass the time. After Lin Han typed a three-word in the Qiandu search bar, the searcher will automatically search a bunch of keywords, and the three-body ranks first!
He clicked the Enter button, and then piles of news appeared on it, and the Qiandu Encyclopedia of "Three-Body Problem" was in the most conspicuous position.
After Lin Han clicked in, he found that the number of views of this entry exceeded 5 million. The founder was Renmin University Press, and the authors in it praised him so much that he blushed.
"The Three-Body Problem is a long science fiction novel created by Chinese science fiction writer Lin Han. It consists of a trilogy and a biography. The first one was first published in September 2017, and the second one is temporarily named "The Three-Body Problem: Dark Forest"..."
This entry is suspected of spoilers, so the editor of Renmin University Press naturally read the entire book, so the content introduction part is very clear and thorough.
Many readers only read part of it at this time, but were spoiled.
There are even various media and writer's book reviews below the entry, and Lin Han finished reading them with great interest.
"A thought experiment on history and reality. Exposes the human soul to the cold starry sky. The distant world is like a dream, but it is like a mirror, reflecting human beings more profoundly. This is a science fiction novel that is more realistic than reality and more ethereal than myths." The famous science fiction writer Wang Chonglun
"From an 'unprecedented' era to another unprecedented era, from one mysterious reality to another mysterious reality. The pinnacle of Lin Han's neoclassical science fiction novels!" Science fiction critic Wu Yan
"Lin Han completed an almost impossible dream in "The Three-Body Problem". He almost perfectly integrated China's five thousand years of history with the 15 billion-year reality of the universe, challenging the limits of the conflict between the moral laws and laws of nature that confuses generations. With his grand narrative and profound conception beyond the times, he has unprecedentedly shown science fiction such as logically rigorous and emotionally rich text style in front of many ordinary Chinese people. He is destined to change their thoughts and behaviors, and let us re-examine all aesthetic views on this planet and beyond this planet!" Fudan Professor Han Song
...
After reading these reviews, Lin Han was naturally happy and was able to bring the Chinese epic masterpiece "The Three-Body Problem" to a new world and gain the recognition of professionals.
Of course, these positive reviews may have been selected into the Qiandu Encyclopedia entry after screening, so Lin Han was not too surprised. He now hopes to see the evaluations of ordinary readers, whether they think the novel is good or not.
Lin Han opened Douban to read and found that the number of ratings for "The Three-Body Problem" was more than 40,000. It seems that the first batch of readers of physical books or e-books have already read the novel.
With so many people's ratings weighted, the novel's rating has reached 9.0, which may fall from it at any time. It can be seen that everyone likes to watch "The Three-Body Problem"!
A reader named Yaoko commented: "A liberal arts student looks at the Three-Body Problem, which is completely different from a science student. liberal arts students like to read the first half, literary, suspense, human nature and society. They hardly understand the science fiction part of the latter, and think it is dull and has no narrative description of the characters' personalities.
Science students pay more attention to science fiction, the transmission of information of Zhizi, multi-dimensional development, guzheng action, and technology locking are the highlights in their hearts."
This reader's comment seemed to say what everyone was thinking, so more than 300 people found his evaluation very useful and appeared on the top of the popular evaluation list.
In fact, this is true. In the first half of "The Three-Body Problem", the science fiction elements did not appear completely, and it was later that the truth of the matter was slowly revealed.
The basic science of the earth has abnormal disturbances, and nanoscientist Wang Miao entered the mysterious online game "The Three-Body" and began to gradually approach the truth of this world.
When he participated in the offline gathering of players, he was inadvertently exposed to a secret organization formed on Earth that dealt with the arrival of the Three-Body Man.
Through the "Guzheng Plan", the Earth Defense Organization's China Operations Center defeated the plan of the rescue faction and the advent faction to a certain extent to disrupt the human scientific community and other fields of thought. It was learned that the three-body man in trouble decided to invade the earth in order to obtain a world that can survive stably.
After using super technology to lock down the basic science of Earthlings, the huge Three-Body Fleet began to blonde towards Earth, and the doomsday of humanity quietly came.
"Why are you always out of stock?! It's understandable once or twice, but many people have thought that why you are still out of stock? Can't you prepare a few more books? Don't you want to read the electronic version!"
Through this comment, Lin Han seemed to be able to see a person who kept hammering the table, so he took a screenshot of this comment and prepared to post it to Weibo, and then send him this book.
Dong Deye gave a five-point evaluation and said, "This is a book that changes its three views. It's the first time I read science fiction. I've been so secretive before. After reading it, I feel so refreshed and full of energy. Although I'm not very interested in some love plots, these clips really shocked me. Qin Shihuang formed a computer with 20 million soldiers, which really made me stunned. I had such a big brain."
"Lin Han, you must compensate for mental damage. I read the novel at one or two o'clock in the evening. When I saw the four-dimensional space, I lost my sleepiness, which made me see it at eight o'clock the next morning."
"Imaginative science fiction plots make people unable to stop! And they are closely related to China's national conditions, which is an unexpected surprise."
"It's really good, worth reading! The novel's content is fascinating, and the combination of reality and illusion is just right, so it can be used for everyone."
"It's wonderful, fascinating. I haven't read a book so much in a long time. Anyway, with increased knowledge, it's easy for people to devote themselves to reading a book!"
"It is no exaggeration to say that this is a must-have book for science fiction fans! I am not a standard science fiction fan, but after reading this book, I was completely impressed by Lin Han. It can be seen that this book is just the foundation of the story. Before the aliens arrived on Earth, the entire earth had turned upside down."
"Science fiction fans should come and see it. When you look up at the stars in your spare time, the earth is so small."
"I originally bought a book for Lin Han's reputation, but later I found that it was indeed well-known and the novel was particularly good-looking. My words were very scarce, but it was good-looking anyway."
"The most awesome science fiction is the ability to write the craziest imagination as real as news reports."
"All kinds of naivety, understanding of human nature and society's operating methods is at the level of elementary school students, and the imagination of women is at the level of a boy. In addition, the writing style is very poor, the narrative is no skill at all, the language is rough and vulgar, which makes people unable to bear to read. This is something that cannot be put on the table. I give two stars because the generous side of my parallel is happening, and I also have a little understanding of the feelings of science fiction fans."
...
The dense praises made Lin Han's mouth uncontrollably rise. Although there were some criticisms, he had made considerable progress. "The Three-Body Problem" is a science fiction novel. It would be a bit too much if he wanted to ask it according to the writing style of a regular literary work.
This is probably the feeling that everyone is drunk and I am awake. Lin Han also knows that there are differences in writing styles of these novels, but he is moving forward steadily. These bad reviews are the motivation to urge him to keep moving forward.
Positive reviews overwhelmed bad reviews with overwhelming advantage. The first group of readers who read the novel could not wait to share with their friends and netizens around them, and even pulled them to start spoiling.
Among them, Yao Hongjun, the former editor-in-chief of "Science Fiction World", wrote thousands of words on Weibo to start analyzing the tricks in "The Three-Body Problem".
Yao Hongjun's reputation in the science fiction world is still particularly famous. He is considered a veteran and wrote: "This is a science fiction writing of contemporary history.
The narrator Lin Han chose in "The Three-Body Problem" was Wang Miao. His weight in the novel was not even as good as Dashi. He was more of a pair of eyes and a point of view, and his role in narrative was not much stronger than a supporting character. Because Lin Han's science fiction concept was too grand, there were not many places left for the characters.
But it must be seen that when Lin Han describes interludes, he can clearly see the dissolution of perspective transformation. The novel uses text collage writing method, and is not used proficiently enough.
There is no doubt that in the chapters decrypted by the Three-Body Game and Hongban Base, such a writing method is very interesting and effective, but the rest of the chapters do not integrate the writing method well.
Is Lin Han's book "The Three-Body" written about aliens who survived hard under the sun? Obviously not. Those aliens have never appeared in this novel. They just sent some information to the earth that can prove their existence.
Then the whole novel describes the human beings living under the shadow of aliens.
The more knowledge you have, the more reactionary you are.”
Whether professionals or ordinary readers, they have a high acceptance of this book "The Three-Body Problem". The editors of Renmin University Press were previously worried that the novel's background would make readers feel disgusted, but they did not expect that this became one of the highlights.
These collected evaluations give them enough confidence to print and promote. For a novel, even if it is so scattered, it is not as good as these real and spontaneous.
In comparison, "Twilight" is slightly inferior in reputation. Although the number of first prints in the United States is as high as 3.8 million copies, sales per week are nearly one million, and the global sales of the series of books exceeds 40 million copies, and the copyright is transferred to more than 40 countries.
However, the final work of this series of novels has declined in reputation, and it seems that the ending has not satisfied readers. The domestic version has been criticized for its translation issues, and the original English version abroad has also been controversial because of its plot.
This romance novel dressed in a vampire cloak attracted more than 30,000 reviews on Douban Reading, but the ratings are mainly four stars. Although it is not polarized, it is only hovering between 7.9 and 8.0 points for the time being.
Chapter completed!
