Lin Han had never heard of what the Science Fiction Hall of Fame is. It seems that he is not very famous at all. At least he has never known this thing in his two lives.

Alex explained: "In fact, it has not been established for a long time, about twenty years. The full name is the Science Fiction and Fantasy Hall of Fame, and was founded by the Kansas Science Fiction Association and the University of Kansas Science Fiction Research Center."

"Well, it's just an award from a state in the United States!" Lin Han couldn't help but feel disappointed. When he first heard about the Science Fiction Hall of Fame, he was a little excited. At least this name is very intimidating.

"It was just founded in Kansas, and its influence is worldwide. The selection results are quite authoritative and influential. It also makes up for the regret that various master awards are not awarded to deceased writers. Although it is an emerging award, it covers a wide range! There are many writers who have won the Hugo Award and the Nebula Award every year, but only two people are qualified to join the Hall of Fame. This is a recognition of your outstanding contributions in the field of science fiction or fantasy for a long time!"

After hearing what Alex said, Lin Han discovered that this Hall of Fame may be really good, probably just like the other Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Basketball Hall of Fame, and Tennis Hall of Fame. Only when the achievements are recognized by the public and professionals can you join.

"It sounds pretty good, are you sure I can join?"

Alex smiled and said, "Of course it's OK. They called to invite them in person. It's probably not long before the official announcement will be issued. Also, let me tell you that the Science Fiction Hall of Fame had moved from Kansas to Seattle ten years ago. There is now a science fiction museum and Hall of Fame in Seattle. More than 30 people have been commended so far, half of whom have passed away, and those who are alive are masters!"

The Science Fiction Hall of Fame only includes two people every year. If there is no suitable candidate, then they would rather be empty, so the number of people is so small.

It is precisely because of the few places that it becomes more and more precious and does not feel like it is losing its grade.

"Sounds pretty good, I've also entered the Science Fiction Hall of Fame!"

When Lin Hanyi thinks about it, he feels a dreamy feeling. He is less than 30 years old and has the opportunity to stand on the same level as the celebrities in the science fiction world.

Of course, he knew very well that these were not his credit, he was just a transporter, so his mood suddenly decreased a lot.

Alex, who is far away in London, was also very happy for Lin Han, "You are a living legend now. You are still so young, and you don't know how they would choose you."

"Hey, man. I would like to ask, who is the other candidate in addition to me this year?" Lin Han asked curiously. Could it be that he was the only one this year?

"This year, the great director Steven Spielberg, who was not officially accepted until this year, so you know the value of this Hall of Fame!"

Lin Han took a breath of air conditioning. Will this standard be too high? Steven Spielberg has become famous since the 1980s and has not been accepted until now.

I started writing novels a few years ago, and it took only three or four years at most. I really like it when I see it this way.

Science fiction and fantasy are inseparable from abroad. Most of the time, both are collectively called science fiction, and the Science Fiction Hall of Fame recognizes those who have made outstanding contributions to the cultural undertakings related to science fiction.

Spielberg has directed the films about aliens "The Third Category of Contact", "Artificial Intelligence", "Minority Report", "Aliens et", and of course, the most recent hit movie "Jurassic Park" adapted from Lin Han's science fiction novel of the same name!

It can be said that these films have long become classics of science fiction films. Spielberg's achievements in science fiction films are extraordinary. He has only been selected yet, which is really amazing.

"This is really surprising, and I suddenly felt very honored."

Alex said with satisfaction: "Now you know that the Science Fiction Hall of Fame is not an award created by a small countryside place!"

"Yeah, that's because I don't know the specific situation."

In fact, except for Lin Han and Spielberg, all of the more than 30 people in the Science Fiction Hall of Fame are well-known.

For example, Hugo Gensbuck was the first person to be selected. He died as early as 1967. When the Science Fiction Hall of Fame was established in 1996, he was the first to choose him!

Perhaps many people don’t know who this person is, but the most famous Hugo Award in the science fiction world is used to commemorate him!

Hugo Gensbuck is the founder of many science fiction magazines, the most famous of which is the world's first spring science fiction magazine, "Surprising Story", so it is known as the father of science fiction magazines.

Another John Camber is a magazine editor. He created the godfather of the Golden Age of Science Fiction in the last century. There are countless master writers promoted from him. Without him, there would probably be no Golden Age!

Jack William, a science fiction master who was born in 1908, has won countless awards. He was once the president of the World Science Fiction Conference from 1978 to 1980, and is also the oldest sci-fi writer in existence. Now, the 100-year-old has not stopped writing.

Many science fiction writers and science fiction film directors are still waiting in line outside the Hall of Fame, but Lin Han, a young writer and director, actually stepped into this door first!

Don’t think that Europe and the United States don’t need to be senior. In fact, qualifications exist everywhere. Lin Han will probably become the target of many science fiction masters. This is a scattered way to attract hatred.

From this point of view, Lin Han's qualifications are indeed a huge problem, but the key is that his achievements are so brilliant, they are enough to cover up the shortcomings of age, qualifications, and even nationality and skin color!

In the more than 20 years of the Hall of Fame, the winners are all white, and there are very few female members, and there is not a single black man or other people of color.

Lin Han's works have very strong sales. When paper books are on the decline, global sales still have reached tens of millions, with a huge influence!

At the same time, his award luck is also very good. After winning the Hugo Award many times, he simply won the Lifetime Achievement Award, and the Nebula Award was also won by him, let alone the other types of awards in the world.

Even in the French Goncourt Literature Award, which only focuses on literature, Lin Han helped science fiction literature achieve a historic breakthrough and became the first science fiction writer to win the Goncourt Literature Award!

He has achieved such a high level of literature and is also excellent in the film industry. He won the Best Screenwriter in the Venetian film industry with "The Mars Rescue" and the Golden Globe Award for "The Matrix".

Another movie adapted from his novel, "Bouquets for Algeron", has won several of the most important Oscars!
