Chapter 454: Half of the Gods Shock the World!
The Venice Film Festival before the opening was very lively. The entire water city has become a paradise for movies. Taking a boat to shuttle through the city under the leadership of the shipkeeper, Lin Han and Chen Jiaxuan felt this precious tranquility.
The retro buildings look very contemporary. Even if you don’t understand Italian, you can feel the romantic atmosphere in the air. They both look exactly like other tourists, but they choose to record the beautiful scenery with their eyes rather than with cameras.
“It’s really beautiful!”
Under the night wind, Chen Jiaxuan's bright shawl flew gently, while Lin Han leaned against the bow of the boat and greeted the passing boat. He clearly didn't know anyone, but everyone smiled brightly.
Lin Han said, "So it's good for us to go out for a walk every year. We can watch a few movies before going back."
Many movies in this film festival have not been introduced to China. It is very important for Lin Han, a beginner to watch the master's works!
"Can you take me to Cannes next year? I envy the red carpet over there for a long time. I never had the opportunity to go up when I was promoting it."
Chen Jiaxuan is quite pragmatic. Her artists did not spend money to buy tickets, nor did they use the three major film festivals or Oscars to promote. This time she had the opportunity to come to Venice, so she had already begun to look forward to the next time.
Lin Han thought about it seriously and said, "This task is a bit arduous, but you can still try it. What if it is achieved!"
"What works are you going to bring to Cannes next year? Don't be too ambitious."
"According to the filming arrangements of Leonardo's "Bouquet for Algeron", they may go to the Cannes Film Festival to harvest some of their influence, and then use the influence of the film festival to march towards the Oscars."
He has been nominated for the Oscar Award many times, but this time Leonardo wants to conquer those people in the academy with more superb and more contrasting acting skills. Charlie's process of becoming smarter and then stupider is probably the type that Oscar judges like the most.
Although Lin Han is quite confident in himself, he really dared not take a picture of his chest and said that his new movie will definitely be shortlisted for the Cannes Film Festival. This is not an easy task for any director!
It was already past nine o'clock in the evening when they returned to the hotel. After the jet lag, they could fall asleep peacefully after taking a shower.
...
The sun shone brightly in the hotel. Lin Han, who had been sleeping, had already gotten up and did push-ups on the balcony for a while, and the whole city seemed to be awakened.
The opening ceremony was arranged at 2 pm, so Lin Han had nothing to do now, so he couldn't wake up the sleeping Chen Jiaxuan. He simply took his laptop to the balcony and started typing in the sunshine!
"Herberian" is a book he has high hopes for, and no chapter can be ignored, so now he is particularly cautious when he begins to conceive the fourth story of "Herberian".
This is already the middle part. Let’s read this story if you become a dragon or a snake in a book!
Scholar Thor Winterber and his daughter, the subtitle of this story is called "The Water of Forgetful River is So Suffering". It is almost the most sensational part of the whole book. Lin Han was also moved by this story.
Before his daughter Rachel was born, Thor Winterber and Tempera Salay had always lived a very happy life. The real tragedy was to destroy beautiful things to people, so Lin Han spent a lot of writing to describe the story of scholar Thor Winterber and his wife!
The happier and more fulfilling the front, the more sad and miserable the latter, and the contrast is particularly strong.
Just when the family was in a state of joy, their daughter Rachel went to Heberian to study the civilization ruins of the Tomb of Time, but the accident happened here!
Scholar Thor got a guide in his dream to go to a planet called Heberian and sacrifice his daughter Rachel!
While exploring the tomb of time, Rachel was knocked down by inexplicable reasons. She was like she was rejuvenating and began to retreat against time.
This idea is actually a bit like the movie "The Strange Things of Benjamin Button" starring Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett (also known as Rejuvenation). The protagonist was born as a wrinkled old man. As he grew older, he instead changed from an old man to a middle-aged man, then a young man, and eventually a teenager. When he passed away, he became a baby!
Rachel in the story is the same. She has become smart and has become a member of the scientific expedition team, but she is brought back by time and has become young and childish little by little.
What a fulfilling process to watch the child go from crying and looking for breastfeeding, looking up, sitting, walking, and talking! But the tragic scholar Thor has to witness his daughter slowly turning from an adult to a baby in a cradle. Thor's wife can only find out the clothes her daughter only wore after she was young with tears in her eyes, from being able to walk to returning to the cradle. The first and last words Rachel said in her life were "mother". Lin Han skillfully used sensational techniques to make readers unable to control their tear glands!
However, in this world, Lin Han did not see the existence of "The Strange Things of Benjamin Button", so this creativity should not be too big.
However, since it is defined as a classic work, if it is just simple and sensational, the pattern is too small, so Lin Han added a setting that for scholars to sacrifice their babies in their cradles to the devil for the grand goal of "save all mankind", this is enough to make people lament.
What's more, their daughter Rachel also persuaded Thor in her dream that she was willing to be sacrificed, which made her cry even more!
This is not just a hymn of fatherly love. For scholars, the problem that plagues his soul is where the bottom line of morality lies?
In order to show his obedience, Abraham offered his son to God. In the eyes of the ethicist, Thor, the decision to sacrifice innocent children as sacrifice was evil at the beginning!
But this kind of dedication is exchanged for God's gift and ultimately saves the child's life. When this paradox occurs to himself, the pain he endured and fought against is no longer just the daughter's departure, he must make his own choice.
This is a story of an ordinary person. He is not a priest, a colonel, or a poet. He is so ordinary that it makes people feel immersive and extremely easy to resonate!
Rachel became smaller day by day, forgetting the precious memories he had with his family and lovers day by day, and forgetting the sweet code such as "Good night, swiftlet; good night, little swift".
"She always feels that the essence of the human scriptures is not just those peak moments, such as wedding days or success, which are dazzling and prominent in memory, like days circled with red pens in old days; on the contrary, it is inadvertently ordinary trivial matters that have been passed by inadvertently. Every member of the family focuses on what they pursue. They meet and contact by chance in their respective work, and brief conversations will not remain in memory for a long time, but the additive effect of such time is extremely important and eternal."
"Listen! There will be no sacrifice, no matter children or parents, no one will sacrifice for others other than us humans. The era of seeking redemption with respect is long gone!"
"I'm done! Or let us go, or join us as a father, and stop accepting other people's sacrifices in vain. This is Abraham's choice!"
After Lin Han wrote down such a passage, his mood couldn't help but become heavier. Even if the story between the old scholar and his daughter was finished here, this chapter was not over yet.
The beginning of each story is the group of people who went to Heberian to chat with each other, and the end of the story is also the group of people chatting!
The protagonist of the story in the previous chapter, Martin Selinas closed his eyes and said, "When thinking of this, all hatred was expelled,
The soul has restored its fundamental innocence,
Finally learned that it was self-entertainment.
***Self-hearted, frightened,
Its own good wish is God's will.
Even though every face will be angry,
Every wind source will roar, or every group of bellows will swell,
But she will still be happy.”
This poem was originally William Butler Yeats's short poem "Pray for My Daughter", which is now borrowed by Lin Han in this place and uses the poet's mouth to express his ideas!
He had borrowed Yeats's song "When You Are Old" before, and now the poems are integrated into them and they seem more literary.
...
A few hours passed quietly. After Lin Han had half a day of free time, he wrote the content of this chapter before Chen Jiaxuan got up!
His hand speed was fully released, and his ten fingers almost pressed the afterimage on the keyboard, and his speed was shocking to the point of five thousand words per hour.
Lin Han checked the sentences at the end, and then connected to Weibo with the hotel's ii to give readers a sudden surprise!
The jet gap between Venice and Yanjing is seven hours long. It’s only eleven o’clock in the morning and it’s already six o’clock in the afternoon in Yanjing. It just so happens that it’s another weekend, so there are more people free.
Many people know that Lin Han has set out for the Venice Film Festival. The poet's story was still being discussed before, and many people think that Lin Han will not be updated for the time being.
How could I know that Lin Han can even post new chapters when he comes to participate in the event now? This "Scholar's Story: How Hard the Water of Forgetful River" not only surprises readers, but also makes them worry!
Liu Jun is a hardcore fan group in the Hanlin Academy. After working overtime on weekends, he had to choose to take the subway because of the car's last number limit. He just turned on the 4g traffic to refresh the micro-blog. He saw a series of news related to Lin Han after the blog.
"I went to attend the film festival and sent two chapters. Can this quality be guaranteed?" Liu Jun said, opening the latest chapter, "But don't just treat us perfunctorily because of the quantity."
He didn't care about the subway stops and passengers up and down. He sat in the seat and watched with all his attention. Liu Jun, who was already a father, suddenly found that he could understand the feelings of scholars. If his daughter became young and young, he probably wouldn't be better than scholar Thor!
This story changed the style of the previous article and made the scholar's story more moving. Almost all readers were filled with tears when they read it, while critics were surprised at the diversity of Lin Han's styles.
"Teacher Lin has shown his unique skills again. He is so sensational. I cry so hard that I don't want it!"
"I was just shocked, surprised, and reflected on the story before, but the scholar's story made me feel a little empathetic, and sadness was like a river!"
"Strongly condemn Teacher Lin, and also warn everyone, don't watch this chapter in public again, otherwise you will cry at your phone like me..."
"I can't understand the interspersed biblical stories inside. I don't know what Abraham is, but I was surprised by Lin Han's extensive knowledge. It was obviously a book, but it showed his vast knowledge accumulation like an encyclopedia. It's really enviable."
"I cried blindly, Teacher Lin asked to tell Thor and his daughter Rachel the final outcome. Don't be a tragedy. Have a happy one!"
"What touched me the most is not the rest. When Thor heard the bad news about his wife, when Rachel and his father could no longer talk, tears came out. Support each other and love was boundless!"
Readers gave it a very high evaluation, placing humans in a science fiction background. Whether it is soft science fiction or hard science fiction, what can leave a deep impression on people is good science fiction!
If Douban Reading had not yet activated the scoring function for "Haiberian", otherwise its scoring would have been more amazing than the original "Inception". This long piece of blog is under the Hanlin Academy Forum, and even in the Douban Science Fiction Group, this chapter has almost zero negative reviews!
In fact, it is not only readers, but also professional book reviewers are deeply touched.
A well-known book reviewer directly sighed in his TV program, "If the first three stories can be said to be "Herberian" as a classic, then the fourth story will be elevated to a masterpiece as soon as it comes out! It is highly recommended that you go and take a look. After this book is finished, it will inevitably leave your name on the history of world science fiction and even world literature!"
Niu Tianshu, an older generation book critic who had always only read physical books, broke his inherent reading habits because of his strong recommendations from his colleagues. With the help of his assistant, he saw the preface to "Herberian" and the updated chapters later. This surprised him. How could science fiction actually give birth to literary classics?
This master, who is important in the book review industry, rarely wrote his own comment for a not-updated one: "The story Lin Han described is fresh enough and quite touching. Such creativity, coupled with the author's vivid style, brings an extraordinary impact to people. Lin Han is already at the forefront among the younger generation of writers, and is half a step ahead! In the latest scholarly stories, he not only describes the time against the current, but also describes the memory of the countercurrent. This writing is amazing. If he wins the Nobel Prize in Literature one day, I will not be surprised at all!" (To be continued...)
Chapter completed!
