Chapter 822: Huge ambition
"Teacher Lin? I am Li Hongming from the space center. I wonder if you still remember me?"
Lin Han was building the green branches and leaves in the garden with scissors. He stopped the gardener's work and said to his phone: "Of course I remember, is the result coming out? Did my new book pass the review?"
Li Hongming gave a positive reply, "Yes, the samples have been printed now. If you have time now, please come to our space center as soon as possible, and we will sign a relevant agreement with you."
"What agreement?" Lin Han asked vigilantly. He would not hand over the copyright of this book to the space center.
Basically, he heard Lin Han's dissatisfaction. Li Hongming explained: "It's just a confidentiality agreement and a donation agreement. It's not about keeping the work confidential, but about the entire process. As for the donation agreement, it's easy to say. This is the world's first physical book "2001: Space Odyssey". You donate it to our space center and will be included in the museum after the space is over!"
Now the space center is hoping that others will know what Lin Han’s new book has written, otherwise how would the rest of the people know if the book has only a title?
However, according to the current progress, it is impossible to launch a large-scale sale, so you can only attract attention on the Internet first.
Lin Han finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. He replied, "Okay, I'll drive over now."
Anyway, I've been free at home recently. Originally, Lin Han wanted to accompany Chen Jiaxuan, but the expectant mother went to the gym to practice yoga. It is said that this way can exercise and make it easier during childbirth.
After hanging up the phone, Lin Han sent Chen Jiaxuan a WeChat message to tell him about his itinerary. He drove his Audi and headed towards the space center!
It was around the morning rush hour, and although there were many cars on the road, they only waited at traffic lights for a while, and there was not too much congestion.
Lin Han simply turned on the car radio. He originally wanted to listen to music, but unexpectedly it was a news channel, and the content he told was closely related to him.
"Yesterday, "The Matrix 2" bought the New York Times Square advertising space and played the last trailer. After that, countless Matrix enthusiasts wore black suits under the scorching sun and played with sunglasses. It is reported that "The Matrix 2" will be available in major theaters around the world on June 9. Several starring actors Chu Guang, Xu Jiayan, and Shen Yanling will be guests of Allen Show, talking about the front and behind the scenes..."
It is now June 1st, and the movie is only one week away, and the publicity everywhere has reached its peak. Even when Lin Han was driving, he could still see the huge billboard of "The Matrix 2: Reinstalling" on both sides of the streets of the imperial capital!
The quality and box office of domestic movies this year are not satisfactory, so this domestic science fiction movie has been highly expected. Almost all the bar friends from all over the movie box office are on the market.
There are people shouting slogans of 2 billion or 3 billion, and some even shouting 4 billion, as if these box offices were falling from the sky!
Audiences who have experienced the baptism of bad movies urgently need such a good work to wash their eyes. Some people at the global box office think it can win the annual box office championship.
"It seems that you have to show your face during the premiere, otherwise Miao Hong might have to kill me."
Lin Han said in his heart that he can be regarded as one of the biggest selling points of the Matrix series. As a result, such a director even had time to be a gardener at home and was unwilling to come out to promote it!
...
In the space center, Li Hongming guided Lin Han to the conference room. The lawyers of the space center handed over the documents they had prepared to Lin Han, and then gave them paper and pen thoughtfully.
Although Lin Han doesn't know much about the law, the rules and regulations are relatively simple. After all, he and the space center have no interest issues.
After confirming that, he quickly signed his name and finally came to an end!
"Teacher Lin, after we stamp the official seal, will I deliver the contract to you or will you ask someone to come and get it?"
"I'll find someone to come over. If the express delivery is lost, it will be a little trouble." Lin Han looked around curiously, and he asked, "Have you printed the extra "2001: Space Odyssey" here? Can you give me a copy as a souvenir?"
Lin Han has not handed over the book to Renmin University Press yet, and it was printed directly through the aerospace center, so the original author Lin Han still has to ask them for samples!
Li Hongming would not refuse this simple request. He smiled and said, "Then you sit here for a while, and I'll help you get one. Many people in our manned space office want this book, but they have printed less than a hundred copies!"
After all, this book is Lin Han's thing, and it is enough to print 99 books as a souvenir. If the rest of the people want it, they have to wait for the official printing and release of the novel, and they have to spend money to buy it.
The agreement signed by Lin Han also stipulates that these 99 books were donated to the Aerospace Center, but the Aerospace Center shall not use these books for profit-making activities, such as auctions, hanging them on Xianyu, etc.
"Okay, you can go and do it first."
After watching Li Hongming walk out with the contract, Lin Han looked bored at the materials in the conference room. His mobile phone was asked to turn off and he couldn't play here, so it was boring.
But after half an hour passed, Li Hongming had not come back yet!
Lin Han couldn't sit still, "What is he busy with? Why is there no movement at all?"
He read all the text materials that could pass the time in the conference room, so Lin Han simply walked out of the conference room. He planned to stroll around the space center and see if there was anything worth paying attention to.
Walking from the conference room to a spacious hall, Lin Han suddenly saw the Tiangong-2 space station, which was supposed to be at the Jiuquan satellite launch base!
"This should be a model created by equal proportions, right? It cannot be real."
While talking to himself, he walked closer curiously and reached out to touch the appearance of Tiangong No. 2. It felt like it was full of metallicity and did not seem fake at all!
"This is one of the experimental items in our space center. The size and materials used are the same as the Tiangong-2, which is about to fly into space, but there are no instruments inside and they have only appearances."
Li Hongming, holding a brand new book, appeared next to Lin Han at some point, and he explained.
Lin Han no longer cared about his new book at this time, and the second Tiangong in front of him firmly attracted his eyes!
If Tiangong No. 1 is an ordinary house, then Tiangong No. 2 can be called a fine decoration. The space size of the laboratory is only 15 cubic meters, which is very small at first glance!
However, without gravity constraints, astronauts can move anywhere in the space, not only on the ground, but also on the ground, so there is a lot more space for activity.
The walls and various facilities of Tiangong No. 2 are brighter and richer in colors. The off-white walls, blue handrails, and hand and foot limiters are green, which gives Lin Han a refreshing feeling.
"In order to make Tiangong 2 more comfortable, we used hard materials in the inner room, which was equivalent to laying a layer of floor. Even though the astronauts were always weightless and floating, they still felt the touch of the ground when they walked in contact with the inner wall."
Speaking of Tiangong No. 2, Li Hongming was talking nonstop and turned into a tour guide, which made Lin Han unable to help but nod.
In fact, Lin Han is also observing the real appearance of the space station on the spot. Previous literary works and film works cannot give him such a complete experience!
One day if he wants to shoot a space-themed movie, then this is the best material, and the Space Center is the best consultant.
This is also the reason why Lin Han wanted to establish a good relationship with the space center. Many of his movies were related to space, and at that time he needed special talents and consultants to help!
The space center is obviously Lin Han’s best choice. Nasa cannot let Lin Han visit these places or provide any help.
Although the space of Tiangong No. 2 is limited, it still has independent bathroom spaces and even special toilets!
Lin Han visited the independent sleeping area and leisure and entertainment area here. This place not only has a space bicycle and a verified treadmill, which facilitates astronauts to exercise while in space.
"After the movement is over, if astronauts want to read or watch a movie, Tiangong-2 can still meet this need. Tiangong-2 has established a file transfer system with the ground command center, which can realize information transmission between both parties. Astronauts only need to send information to select information content, and after the ground transmission is completed, they can watch and read on their laptop!"
But Lin Han asked a question, "Then are the books they read genuine?"
Li Hongming's mind was full of dark lines, "Of course it's genuine, we must have purchased the genuine version to read. At that time, you can even communicate with astronauts at the ground command center."
"Since it's genuine, I'll just ask casually, don't be so nervous."
The "Matrix" series has been filmed long ago, and even the post-production of the third part has come to an end, so it is normal for Lin Han to prepare for a new movie after resting!
Although he is not sure what theme his new film is, it is rare to have the opportunity to have such a close contact with Tiangong No. 2. Lin Han seized the time to take a look, hoping to keep all these contents in mind and call them out when needed.
The space station outside is actually not very technical and is not afraid of being stolen. Lin Han is even thinking about whether he wants to shoot a space movie, can he rent the twin sister of Tiangong No. 2 in front of him as a shooting prop?
Thinking of this, I was actually quite excited!
