Chapter 369 Help Oscar

(For the new week, please recommend tickets and monthly tickets~)

Before he could succeed, Lin Han patted his forehead in annoyance. There was a shortage of recommended places in China, and it was impossible to give him a quota for science fiction novels like him. Most of the people who can win the Nobel Prize in Literature recommend serious literary works, and it is not Lin Han's turn!

Not every university has the qualifications for literature professors, otherwise there would be more than a few hundred professors teaching literature in China, and the recommended quota would have long exceeded the sky.

Soinka looked at Lin Han's frustrated expression and knew what the kid was thinking. Although he was qualified to recommend a writer to the past, he left it to his own people in Africa every year.

Now he and Lin Han are just strangers who meet by chance, and he cannot give up such a precious place.

Lin Han also knew this truth, but he did not intend to give up. It is still a bit early to guide the Nobel Prize in Literature. He has only been famous for more than a year. Which of the Nobel Prizes has not been an elderly writer?

Even if he has the ability to win the nomination, the group of academicians from the Swedish Academy of Literature will not award the precious award to Lin Han. He still needs to prepare momentum and wait for his destiny to soar into the sky!

Thinking of this, the two of them couldn't help but change the topic and talked about other aspects, and no one wanted to continue to be embarrassed.

"In fact, the Swedish Academy of Literature has already awarded the prize to precedent. In fact, it is not Golding's "Lord of the Flies" in real time, and science fiction literature has long won the Nobel Prize in Literature."

"I know this. It seems that in 1974, the work of Swedish poet Harry Martinson's "Aniala" is a long science fiction poem." Lin Han replied, of course he should pay special attention to his predecessors.

This long science fiction poem describes humans being unable to live due to the poisoning of radioactive substances on Earth, and were forced to leave on a spaceship and migrate to other planets. However, the spaceship eventually lost control, left the original route, and fell in the vast space that was endless, showing thoughts on human survival difficulties and concerns about the natural environment. It is a milestone work.

Of course, he can win the award, but on the other hand, it is due to nationality. As a Swedish, he has natural advantages in the Nobel Prize, which cannot deny the excellence of his works!

"Just understand, I only remind you that the reason why science fiction works are difficult to gain literary recognition is that they lack sufficient humanistic care and reflection on society and reality. "The Wandering Guide to the Galaxy" is a great thing here. I saw humor, irony, criticism of the real society, etc.."

After chatting happily for a while, the two exchanged emails with each other. Since the Nobel Prize winner did not have a Facebook account, they could have had a fan of each other.

"Mr. Lin, the previous speech has ended. You have ten minutes to prepare." The staff came to Lin Han with the schedule. She took out a book called "Bouquet for Algeron" from behind and handed it to Lin Han. "I rarely read science fiction novels before, but this book moved me very much, so can I sign an autograph for me?"

"Of course, beautiful lady, what's your name?"

"Catherine"

"Okay, I wish you a happy day, my dear Catherine." After Lin Han signed his name, he also wrote these words in front, making Catherine on the other side feel happy!

Now "Bouquets for Algernon" has been launched in most countries in Europe and the United States. With the title of Lin Han, the best-selling author, offline bookstores have made their publicity offensive early. In order to compete with online book purchases, all kinds of methods have been used.

In the past, most of Lin Han's readers were men, but this book was widely circulated among female readers, which was equivalent to developing another market, so the sales increase was very terrible!

Women's consumption ability is well known. They will swipe credit cards for what they like. Now "Bouquets for Algeron" is in the hands of girls on the Upper East Side of New York. Reading this book has become the most popular element this summer.

The number of male readers has increased steadily, while the number of female readers has increased rapidly. As those prediction agencies expected, "Bouquets for Algeron" has been airlifted to the top of major sales lists and gained countless glory!

...

On the second day after the opening of the World Economic Forum in Davos, Lin Han completed his entire mission. He came here to receive two awards, delivered a speech, and met Leonardo and Soinca. This trip was worth it.

But since you are here, don’t rush to leave, take a breath of fresh air and enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Alps.

After sleeping in a nap, Lin Han came to the hotel restaurant to find food at 10 o'clock in the morning. He was going to wait and go for a walk nearby. The travel guide was very clear, and this Swiss town looked very quiet.

Just as he was drinking coffee and looking at the map of his mobile phone, a familiar figure walked straight towards him!

After hearing the sound of dragging the chair opposite, Lin Han raised his head. He found that global idol Leonardo was looking at him with blood-red eyes, "Can I sit down?"

"Please."

Lin Han was confused. He didn't think he could have any friendship with Leonardo. Yesterday he just took the award and took a photo together. Why did he look for him?

Leonardo rubbed his temples. He didn't sleep all night last night. After his assistant placed the "Bouquet for Algeron" he bought in his room, he originally wanted to read it casually, but he just watched it all night.

He looked at the young writer opposite and asked directly: "I'm sorry, but I have to say that your book "Bouquet of Flowers for Algeron" is very well written! I want to know, is the right to adapt the movie in your hands?"

"Of course, do you want to buy it?" Lin Han didn't expect that things would come so quickly. Leonardo had already come to ask about this book in Europe and the United States in less than a month after the book was sold in Europe and the United States. Leonardo actually came to the footsteps!

Leonard, a little tired, took a sip of the coffee the waiter had just brought over, and he smiled and said, "Yes, you should know that I am not only an actor, but also a Hollywood producer. I want to play this role, I love Charlie so much!"

As a top Hollywood actor, Leonardo is no longer satisfied with his identity as an actor. From "Flying", "Wolf of Wall Street" and "The Revenant" he participated in the production and has already possessed considerable power.

To be honest, Lin Han considered the film and television play of this novel, but he never expected that it would attract Leonardo. If this powerful actor with both popularity and acting skills can really bring "Bouquet to Algernon" to the big screen, it will definitely be an excellent choice!

"Can I ask, why did you like this novel?"

"The book initially reminded me of "A Different Sky". The first time I was nominated for the Oscar and Golden Globes was that I played a mentally retarded. To be honest, I was a little worried about repetition when I played this type of role again, but later I found that Charlie's changes in it can reflect his acting skills, from stupidity to smartness, and then to stupidity. The mental journey here is definitely not as simple as saying it, which tests my acting skills. If I can play this role well, I believe the Oscar judges will not miss it!"

The sure-win expression surprised Lin Han. Everyone knew that Leonardo's pursuit of the Oscar Little Golden Man had reached the point of madness, but every movie he made the Olympics was similar, roaring, frowning, roaring, crazy, and using too much force was definitely not a polite thing.

In "The Bouquet for Algeron", Charlie is not such a hysterical person, so Leonardo must be able to control and release freely. He just puts it too much and can't control himself!

In fact, in Lin Han's previous earth, "The Bouquet for Algeron" was adapted into the movie "Charlie". The protagonist Cliff Robertson won the 41st Academy Award for his wonderful interpretation of the face, body and language of the character Charlie.

But under the butterfly effect, this book has not appeared in the world until now through Lin Han's hand, so the movie "Charlie" naturally no longer exists. If Leonardo could perform well, it would not be difficult to participate in the Oscar competition with his many years of connections and grief.

To be honest, acting as a mentally retarded is Leonardo's specialty for becoming famous. Now that he returns to this field, he may have surprises.

"I plan to adapt this novel well, and find screenwriters and big directors in the industry to shoot it. I will act it myself, so the quality should be very good. Tell me the price, how about $200,000?"

Originally, Leonardo was so excited that he heard the words, but as soon as the $200,000 was taken, Lin Han couldn't help laughing. It was really a businessman, and the price reduction was a little too ruthless!

$200,000 is the price of adaptation of ordinary works in Hollywood, but is "The Voices Dedicated to Algernon" an ordinary work? Its readers have increased rapidly around the world, and readers are moved by Charlie's experience.

For things and people, Lin Han would not give him a discount just because it was Leonardo. He should not be vague. "Leo, the price of $200,000 is too small. My income from selling novels in one day can reach this level. Do you know what the price Paramount offered to me for another novel "Jurassic Park"? Global profit sharing, including movies, DVDs, online on demand, peripheral sales, amusement park revenue, etc. The valuation given by the accounting firm is no less than $80 million to continue income."

"You should also know that this is a film of art, and we can't expect how high the box office it can be, or even the surrounding sales are almost nothing. If I were to play Charlie, your novels would have gone up to a higher level."

"I believe this, but I don't accept the price you mentioned. The box office share + adaptation copyright income must be made, and the 10-year period. If you do not adapt this novel within 10 years, I will take back the movie adaptation rights. The specific box office share ratio will be discussed with you by my agent, how about it?" (To be continued.).
