"Perhaps you think that after winning the award, you will have to be busy with the media or various social activities? In fact, no, after I came back from abroad, I stayed at home and watched movies to catch up on jet lag. All activities were postponed, except for our program. For us writers, Speaking of which, the most fundamental issue is writing.”
But from the small live broadcast TV in the waiting area, Lin Han saw his serious photo, which was probably taken at the London Book Fair, looking at the camera with a stern look.
"As the classmate just said, this novel is very fascinating. Compared with your other two books, it does not have fantasy story adventures or rich imagination. This is a novel that specifically describes the three laws of robots. A novel?"
After taking a seat, the interview officially began. Li Xiaolei first randomly selected someone from the audience and asked him to summarize the main storyline of "I, Robot".
"Don't worry, let's take our time. You've read my book, right?" Lin Han started to encourage him at this time. Many people were active online but silent in reality. He was like this in his previous life, so he was very kind.
Fortunately, the original owner's body has adapted to this situation, otherwise he would really be at a loss.
Lin Han doesn't want interviews or sharing to become serious and boring. He is a young man with the energy and humor of young people. He cannot be asked to be old-fashioned and prudent.
In reality, combat robots have been stained with human blood, and robots in Hollywood science fiction blockbusters have also become killers, bombarding the imagination of the audience. Research on robot ethics has actually reached a strange circle.
The female host Li Xiaolei looked very gentle and graceful. She smiled and asked: "Teacher Lin, I would like to ask, are you too busy after winning the award?"
"From a rigorous and orderly logical perspective, these three laws are beautiful and flawless. However, in fact, they are full of loopholes and contradictions on different special occasions, causing the protagonists and robots in the story to catch them again and again. Crazy. This is not only the ethical law of robots, but also the reflection of human beings’ own ethics.”
The standard news broadcasting tone made Lin Han at the entrance of the channel unable to help but laugh. The column team was not shoddy, but really put a lot of effort into it.
These so-called three laws have allowed real-life researchers to find some inspiration. Lin Han usually does not have the opportunity to talk about these. Newspapers want news points for interviews. Who would want to hear detailed explanations of these creative backgrounds and contents.
Only in the "Reading" column, even if he is talking, the host and the audience will not interrupt him. This is originally a place where writers read their works and talk about the details of their creations.
When Li Xiaolei announced the end of the recording, almost all the audience stood up and expressed their feelings with applause. The recording of this episode was successfully completed!
I don’t know when a simple video recorded by the program group appeared on the LED display on the stage. This was to introduce Lin Han’s achievements.
It's as if Lin Han's novels have a magical power that allows them to come out of their own world and share the novels with everyone.
After the video was played, Lin Han stepped onto the stage under the guidance of the staff. The stage and audience in front of him made him feel a little dazed. The large crane camera slowly rotated down from high altitude to focus on him.
"That's about it. Start practicing in seclusion, studying and writing scripts."
Once he started talking about it, he became excited, his previous restraint disappeared, and he accepted it in detail in one breath.
The audience in front of them all exclaimed in amazement. Many of them are loyal fans of Lin Han. They naturally understand what the script is about. Their favorite novels will be adapted to the big screen by the original author. These are other people's fans. Extremely high treatment that no one can enjoy.
At this time, a boy wearing thick myopic glasses got the microphone handed over by the staff. After he stood up, he became a little nervous and kept swallowing his saliva, as if he suddenly had a memory card.
After finishing speaking, Lin Han and the host took the lead in applauding and praising, "It's very complete. You really read this novel."
The audience nodded, took a deep breath and said: "I have read each book several times. "I, Robot" tells the story within the story. Through the one-person perspective of me, I talk to the robot psychologist Susan Kevin and recall The robot she met at the American Robot Company. The novel is divided into several different parts, each telling a different robot story... "
Then the screen was directly switched to the relevant clips of "News Thirty" broadcast two days ago. The female anchor of CCTV introduced the relevant situation clearly: "Chinese science fiction writer Lin Han won the 2017 Science Fiction Award at the World Science Fiction Convention in Los Angeles yesterday. Hugo Award for Best Short Story and Best Novel in 2016. This is the first time that a Chinese and even Asian writer has won this honor... You are shocked, don’t be stunned, hurry up and read his book together, savor it well.”
"So after being interviewed by our "Reading" column, you will refuse the media in the future?" Li Xiaolei is also very humorous. She personally doesn't like reading science fiction novels, but she still finished reading "Countryside" in two days for the recording of the program. "Teacher" and "I, Robot", as well as "The Martian" and "Jurassic Park", just read the outline of the story and understand what is going on.
"Hello everyone!" He stood next to the host and waved to the audience. The audience of two hundred people burst into applause of more than a thousand people. This was by no means an extra act perfunctory, but a real love. Lin Han's novel.
"Lin Han, have you been bombarded with this name recently? What happened? Please read the news summary!"
Li Xiaolei is a standard liberal arts student. She studied liberal arts in high school and graduated from Peking University in Chinese literature. She doesn’t understand the physics or astronomy in science fiction, but she likes the connotation of this novel very much.
However, Lin Han shook his head and said: "Actually, no, the three laws of robots are the targets I set at the beginning of the novel, and what I wrote later is to knock down this target. I don't know if you have noticed, Each short story will subvert this law, and through this subversion, the true meaning of the Robot Law can be revealed."
Lin Han felt a little strange. He could talk eloquently when facing thousands of foreigners, but he was a little nervous when facing one or two hundred compatriots. Almost all the young people in the audience had a copy of Lin Han's book. Books, and some people even specially made support cards, which are usually used on idol stars.
Dozens of minutes passed quickly, and Lin Han completely held the scene. Whether it was the host's questions or answering the readers' questions, he seemed very relaxed, and he completely understood the book.
There was no need for the director to look for shills, these fans raised their hands excitedly one by one. Many of them seemed to be the kind of dull people who didn't like to speak in front of outsiders, but at this time they looked a lot more cheerful.
