"People in our forum are asked to vote. In one day, they can quickly vote on which book should represent Lin Han to compete for the title of best book of the year."
…
Nowadays, Lin Han is not considered the king of novels. If he does not have a clear goal, then it is very likely that his name will not be found in the best books of the year.
"Wow, there are actually 10 of them. Do you count those popular science writers? There must be more writers who write about popular science than us. They have a closer relationship with that place."
"What else can happen? A skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Even if this book falls on the street, it will still be supported by the books in front of it and will not be able to fall down for a while."
In fact, the Hanlin Academy is also struggling with this matter. Which novel by Lin Han should be recommended? The possibility of selecting all four novels is too small. The best choice should be to focus on one book.
Tan Wei took some time off during his workday. After he finally finished half a day's work in the morning, he took advantage of the break before lunch to log in to the Hanlin Academy forum. This small forum is now developing very well, with more than 100,000 people logging in every day. The number of visitor views is even greater.
The result is simple and clear. "The Three-Body Problem" became Lin Han's representative. Under the call of the Hanlin Academy forum management, most people began to vote for "The Three-Body Problem". Only some wild science fiction readers relied on their own Hobbies vote.
"Since others have sent it over, I will definitely go there. Anyway, it is held here in Beijing, so convenient." Lin Han looked at the ticket that thousands of people were craving for in front of him, and weighed it gently in his hand. Then he let it go.
The domestic environment for science fiction is relatively miserable. Many people who have worked hard to write science fiction novels for ten years may still not be able to afford a house. Writing science fiction novels is a hobby, and their work is the key to their lives.
The reality is so cruel. Lin Han has too many good books. His fans must make a choice, otherwise they may not be able to get into any book.
Last year, there were only more than 500 writers who were eligible to participate. Even though many members of the National Writers Guild, a large part of them were not eligible. This invitation letter represents status.
Even if you write online novels or children's literature, as long as the quality and sales are linked by the General Administration of Publishing, you will receive this invitation.
"No way, isn't his new book "Feng Yin" confused? The sales situation is so poor and the reviews are not high, how can he still be qualified to participate!" Another writer Wen Hao quickly replied, his words full of dissatisfaction untie.
Regardless of the outcome, good or bad, Lin Han happily accepted it.
In addition, 21% chose the novel "Jurassic Park". Everyone has not forgotten the news of global domination two days ago. Spielberg personally protected it, and Paramount invested heavily to expand the copyright surrounding the novel. This is No novel has the status that it can achieve, but its disadvantage is also obvious. Domestic readers have no chance to see its physical book.
Many people in the group have come out to chat, and everyone has been busy recently. In fact, most of these writers are part-timers, and there are very few full-time writers like Lin Han.
As the most famous science fiction writer before Lin Han, Li Wenyuan naturally got the invitation letter. He jokingly said: "This year there may be more than 10 people here from us who will be present last year. This seems to be the most in history, right?"
Among them, 29% of readers chose "I, Robot". After all, this is Lin Han's first physical book to meet readers. The three laws of robots in it are very amazing. They can't even be found in foreign science fiction works. comparable laws.
"@李文元mosquito, you must have received the invitation letter, right? Show it to us and see what the invitation letter looks like."
"The Three-Body Problem is very good. This is the first time that Lin Han has written a series of novels. There are many readers of The Three-Body Problem. The lack of a physical book for Jurassic Park is a disadvantage. Do you think the General Administration of Publication will Let an e-book win an award?”
The number of people attending this banquet was very large, and it was probably regarded as a grand event in the entire Chinese literary circle. Writers from all over the world gathered together, no matter what type of writing, or how old they were, just to see if they had the qualifications to enter.
An An, the founder of the forum, typed: "We don't have much time left. I personally think it is better to choose "I, Robot". After all, this is Lin Han's Hugo Award-winning work, which has attracted a lot of attention."
Since it can be listed in "Selected Novels" and publications sponsored by the national teacher system, it is not difficult to become a reading comprehension question in an exam.
It is impossible for so many readers to read only the novels written by him, and the sales of science fiction novels as a whole have also risen to a higher level. This is the driving role of a category master.
"Hey, it's the annual book selection again, time flies so fast!"
It is gradually transforming from Lin Han’s private fan forum to a gathering place for science fiction fans. This is a good thing. Science fiction fans need such a base.
Other writers can only write one or two novels a year at most, but Lin Han has only written four novels: "I, Robot", "The Martian", "Jurassic Park", and "The Three-Body Problem", not to mention the others. An impressive short story.
"Don't you think that "Jurassic Park" swept the global sales list and was filmed by a great director? This is the standard for a good book."
Chen Jiaxuan feels that this award voting is a bit like a film festival or a TV festival. She has enough experience to operate it, but since Lin Han wants a fair vote, she will give up the rhythmic canvassing on the Internet. It's all up to the readers to do whatever they want.
"Besides you, Lin Han and Tong Lao, I can't count who else there are."
17% of people think it should compete for the best book of the year on behalf of Lin Han, which is a bit low.
When Lin Han learned the news, he was not too surprised, because the first half of "Country Teacher" was indeed very popular in mainstream literature and was written very realistically.
These people got busy so quickly that they completely forgot about "The Martian". "The Martian", which is neither loved by parents nor loved by parents, does not seem to be competitive.
"Just go with the flow when it comes to voting. It feels a bit low to go out and canvass for votes yourself, what do you think?"
"There are only a few days left. You have to prepare a formal suit. Maybe you will be allowed to go on stage to receive the award. There seems to be a link online. There are several awards that you can vote for. One IP, one vote."
The remaining 33% of readers voted for "The Three-Body Problem". This novel, which was released less than a month ago, has captured the hearts of quite a few readers. Even if the science fiction part has not yet been fully developed, this corner of the huge universe has already Intoxicating.
A movie of the same name is being prepared, and a text decryption game of the same name is also in intensive production. It will not be inferior to those on the list of finalists.
In the Science Fiction Nebula group, these science fiction writers are also actively discussing. After all, the annual writers dinner is the pinnacle night of the literary world, and everyone is very concerned about it.
Wu Xurao sent a screenshot and then opened the topic: "I saw a best-selling fantasy author posted his invitation letter online. Who from our science fiction community can attend the dinner party this year?"
At the same time, such a collection of short stories also won the Hugo Award for China and even Asia, winning the attention of the world!
In fact, these books by Lin Han all have the potential to win the title of best book of the year. Let alone the other three books, "The Martian" alone is amazing enough. Its Chinese version has sold nearly 2.8 million copies, and its readers It received high reviews and was recognized by professionals. With this book, Lin Han successfully became a consultant for the Mars project team of the China Space Administration.
This is probably Li Wenyuan's biggest pet peeve. In the past few annual writers' dinners, their science fiction writers even had to share tables with others, otherwise they would all be dissatisfied. This is so pitiful.
Even though this group of people talked about him, Lin Han did not appear suddenly to avoid embarrassment to everyone.
Chen Jiaxuan took the invitation letter received from her studio and asked Lin Han: "The annual writers dinner led by the State Administration of Press and Publication has sent you an invitation letter. It will be Friday night, October 15th. Do you have time?" Going to participate?”
Seeing that the voting deadline was approaching, Tan Wei patted his head and said, "No matter what, let's just choose "The Three-Body Problem". It should win an award for such a good writing."
"Yeah, it's strange that Lin Han couldn't get the invitation. Think about how many books he has written this year. I suspected that he was a studio ghostwriter before. Now I want to think about which studio can be so powerful."
Because they can't see the number of votes between themselves and their opponents, science fiction readers cannot relax at all. They not only vote by themselves, but also actively canvass for votes, including those who don't read novels in work groups, classmate groups, and alumni groups. All take action.
Even if it is an unpopular category, as long as a great god rises, it can drive the entire novel category, especially a great god with strong fan cohesion.
This is not a unified national college entrance examination paper. It is just a question set by a certain school. It is not a real breakthrough, but it is a good thing after all.
After clicking the voting button, he immediately checked the results. In the upcoming day of voting, more than 30,000 people participated in the internal voting of the Hanlin Academy.
Such progress is already very good, Lin Han is very proud.
Having so many different novels puts him at a disadvantage in voting. Each IP only has one vote, and the vote split among four books is extremely serious.
But the situation is different now. The rise of Lin Han has revitalized science fiction fans and attracted many new readers to join, which has benefited these writers a lot.
In addition, on some large websites and forums, some people have specially opened posts to canvass votes. These are all spontaneous actions of readers, and Lin Han did not participate in the whole process.
After the voting post was posted in the Hanlin Academy, Lin Han's readers quickly took action. They also had difficulty choosing and felt reluctant to give up any book.
But this year, many new faces have appeared. Although Lin Han has not participated in activities for a long time, his popularity is not low at all. In the annual selection of the most popular writers by the General Administration of Press and Publication, he was ranked third. However, among the most popular works of the year, he suffered a bit.
The voting results for the novels cannot be seen yet, but the five books with the highest votes will be rated as the most popular novels of the year. Currently, only Lin Han’s ranking in the author selection can be seen.
Readers who are familiar with the cultural circle basically know that the annual writers' feast is about to begin. Many writers are the kind who die in the light of day and will lose their fans if they leave on the red carpet.
"Let's count. Last year, only five science fiction writers went to the dinner. Counting those online science fiction writers, there were only three more. Urban emotion books are very popular, and I am considering whether to transform."
Lin Han looked at these chat records with interest. He just wanted to be a quiet screen peeper, quietly diving in to read the news.
Faced with the behavior of his little reader who secretly took pictures of such questions during the exam, Lin Han didn't know how to express his position. He could only let him concentrate on studying and do the questions himself. Netizens were all Just watching the fun is not a big deal.
"Lin Han is half of our science fiction team. Feng Yi, Zhu Tianyou, Xiu Jie, Li Xi, Ye Cheng, and don't forget Brother Bo. No matter how we can gather ten people, at least we can sit at the same table."
"What should I do? I would like every book to win an award, but it's obviously impossible."
"Oh, even fantasy writers have received invitations, not to mention traditional literature. It is said that Guo Jinming and Han Han have also received invitations, and the writers of youth literature are going."
Tan Wei sighed with emotion. He began to have troubles when he saw this voting post. Every book was close to his heart and he wanted them to win awards, but his reason told him that this was impossible.
Putting the mouse on "I, Robot" for a while, and then moving it to "The Martian", Tan Wei is gradually recalling the specific content and related evaluations of these novels. He actually likes "Jurassic Park", but recently He couldn't put it down again and read the book "The Three-Body Problem" twice.
Lin Han asked back and said that these awards should be regarded as awards within the industry. Although they also have different meanings for Lin Han, he has not even joined the Writers Association so far.
"The Martian" has to wait a little bit. It can't compare with "Jurassic Park" in terms of sales, and it can't compare with "The Three-Body Problem" in terms of reputation. But its style is very unique, and it is a relaxed and joyful way to save yourself in space.
"There is no way we can have one more name this year. Lin Han stands out and is so famous both at home and abroad. Every novel is breathtaking."
"This is a great idea."
"I'll post a post right away. Let's call on each other. Don't vote for the General Administration of Press and Publication first. Let's vote on the Hanlin Academy to determine the target of the fire."
The selection work is in full swing. The General Administration of Press and Publication is also announcing the guests for this year's conference. Of course, hundreds of people will not cover everything. Only a few people have been mentioned. Lin Han appeared with his new nickname "Half the Country". This was given to him by the General Administration of Press and Publication, and it soon spread and became a good name.
