The dignified deputy minister of the Ministry of Culture actually talked about this with others. If Liu Gang hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed it at all!
Lin Han frowned and nodded seriously. This was not only made in the office of the Ministry of Culture, but also on the Internet.
Chen Lianghai was very satisfied with Lin Han's ideological consciousness. He continued: "You are very famous abroad. You are often regarded as the representative of our Chinese literature. You are well-deserved to serve as this foreign exchange ambassador. Since you agreed, Then let’s talk about the second thing, which is the World Science Fiction Convention.”
"It's okay. Why do you ask that? Does your second uncle have a bad temper?"
Chen Jiaxuan chuckled twice and replied: "I didn't say that, please tell me how to do it."
"Then I can only do my best."
"Promise, it's just a short story. It's not a difficult thing. I'll write it out when I have time." Lin Han said casually. He has written so many novels, and there are also a lot of short stories recorded in his mind. .
This is obviously impossible. The country's diplomacy is all based on interests. This can be regarded as putting money on one's own face, which is good for improving social influence.
Chen Jiaxuan looked at the information at hand and sighed: "Since I have to be busy with the opening ceremony of the World Science Fiction Conference, I have no choice but to refuse the invitation."
The World Science Fiction Convention, which has always been held in Europe and America in the past, has finally traveled across the ocean to Asia, so the preparatory teams from all parties are racking their brains to make this conference a success.
Chen Lianghai looked at Lin Han's flushed face and said, "This is the organization's trust in you. I believe you can definitely help Zhang Yimou. Please contact him this afternoon. I have asked my secretary to tell him."
Chen Lianghai has always admired young writers. This time he made an exception and explained: "Foreign exchange ambassadors, as the name suggests, serve as communication envoys in our country's diplomacy. The rest of them can only delay the country at most, such as China and Japan, China and the United States, and China and South Korea. Exchange Ambassador, we think you are well-known among young people and even intellectuals in major countries around the world, so what do you think?"
"Did they tell you that we had a theatrical performance on the opening day of the World Science Fiction Convention? Nowadays, song and dance programs are too common. We specially invited director Zhang Yimou to direct this party, but he doesn't know much about science fiction. Like science fiction movies. You happen to be a director from the entertainment industry and a writer at the same time, so you can be Zhang Yimou’s deputy and try to bring a new China to the world during the opening ceremony!"
The reason why I didn't change "A Bouquet for Algernon" at first was because it didn't look the same after it was changed. It couldn't be said to be a bouquet for wealth or a bouquet for Ah Huang/Xiao Bai!
"Wait, there is one more thing I want to tell you privately. Some people here are dissatisfied with your novels. They think that you can be listed in Time magazine because many of your novels are set abroad. They think You’re a yellow-skinned Caucasian. Do you know what I mean?”
Hearing this, Lin Han couldn't help laughing. He had heard of gold-dollar diplomacy, currency diplomacy, gunboat diplomacy and ping-pong diplomacy, but this so-called science fiction diplomacy is still extremely new!
In both public and private matters, Lin Han could only nod and agree. This is not a bad thing!
Inexplicably, there was an important responsibility on his shoulders, and Lin Han didn't know what to say. He felt that his head hurt, and he was wondering whether Chen Jiaxuan should come to persuade her second uncle not to embarrass himself so much.
Lin Han, who was reminded, also came to his senses. Since "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" was transformed into a novel with a Chinese background, both "A Bouquet for Algernon" and "Inception" have used it. It's the original background.
"It will be held in half a month, and the list of writers confirmed to participate in the conference is still growing. What else do I need to do?"
In fact, this kind of thing is not something that Chen Lianghai cares about originally. It is something that his subordinates need to worry about. He is taking this opportunity to test Lin Han. After all, Chen Jiaxuan is the one he has grown up watching and is the only one in the next generation. a girl.
Hearing this, Lin Han stood up from his chair. He patted his clothes and said, "Minister Chen, if there is nothing else to do, I will go out first."
Walking out of the office, Lin Han couldn't help but want to sigh. This time he was caught as a strong man again, but he couldn't be lazy in paddling. He had to let Chen Lianghai see his ability!
As for "Inception", I simply forgot about it. I only thought about the plot trend and various settings, and didn't care about the identities of Cobb and Saito at all.
…
Lin Han asked doubtfully: "What invitation?"
After Lin Han suddenly realized this, he smiled relaxedly at Chen Lianghai, thanked him and said, "I understand. I have forgotten it recently, but I am a pure yellow person from the inside out."
The World Science Fiction Conference is the conference that awards the Hugo Awards. Last year, Lin Han went to the United States to attend the conference and brought home the first Hugo Award trophy in Asia. At the same time, he also cooperated with Guoke.com and the Beijing Municipal Committee to organize the World Science Fiction Conference. Bring the hosting rights back to Beijing!
As the number one person in Chinese science fiction, Lin Han has the responsibility to cooperate with publicity work, so he previously posted a VCR shot by himself on Facebook, inviting science fiction writers and science fiction enthusiasts from all over the world to gather in Beijing!
Lin Han's face was almost deformed. He had just received the honorary title of ambassador, and now he was given such an important task. He had no experience at all, okay
Before joining, Lin Han was just a writer. After leaving, he became an ambassador for foreign exchange and deputy director of the opening ceremony.
"The opening ceremony of the World Science Fiction Conference? I'll go find him. This kind of thing should be left to professionals. What kind of people do what kind of things." Chen Jiaxuan was anxious. All she could think about now was that Lin Han had screwed up. what to do!
Chen Lianghai tapped the table with his fingers: "I think your "The Martian" and "The Three-Body Problem" are very good. Write more science fiction novels with a Chinese background and leave those people speechless."
But if he gave up at the first meeting, how could he be worthy of Chen Jiaxuan? Lin Han gritted his teeth. He didn't want to be looked down upon and wanted Chen Jiaxuan's family to recognize him!
Taking into account Chen Lianghai's previous warning to him to write more novels with a Chinese background, Lin Han already had an idea at this time, "Of course, maybe I can finish it tonight."
"Okay, go and do your work and remember about the Dragon Boat Festival."
"This is the best, show your fighting spirit." Chen Lianghai could not see his emotions, only a smile appeared in his eyes.
"Don't be so showy. If you really don't want to go, I'll go to my second uncle and act coquettishly. He will definitely agree to it."
"Minister Chen, I don't think I'm qualified for this job. The World Science Fiction Conference is about to be held soon. I really can't think of anything!"
What's more, Chen Lianghai asked him personally. Is it possible if he doesn't agree
"'Bring Her Eyes'!"
The Chen family doesn't pay attention to well-matched families or marriages. Chen Jiaxuan's happiness is the most important thing, so they took the time to get to know this young man in advance!
"The first thing you do when you serve as the foreign exchange ambassador is to promote the World Science Fiction Convention. This does not require special preparation. We just add a title when introducing you. The people above attach great importance to this World Science Fiction Convention. At that time, the deputy national leaders, myself and two other people will attend the opening ceremony. If you want to participate in the following activities, you can participate. If you don't want to participate, we will use your name to conduct science fiction diplomacy."
"Let me tell you the name."
Lin Han said the name with some confusion, but the meaning was clear, but does this name exist in our country
Will any country really change its foreign policy because of its own novel
At this time, the Secretariat called and said, "Minister, Director Liu is outside."
As soon as Lin Han returned to his car, Chen Jiaxuan called. She was curious about what her second uncle would say to Lin Han, "Honey, are you okay?"
"This is not just showing off. I am familiar with the entertainment industry and science fiction literature, so I am the best candidate."
Chen Lianghai pressed the speakerphone button and replied, "I'm ready. Let Liu Gang come in."
"I was given a big stick and a sweet date. Now I am a high-end foreign exchange ambassador. I will probably enjoy super high treatment when I go to other countries in the future. After all, this title is quite bluffing. But later They just threw me a package and asked me to assist Zhang Yimou in directing the opening ceremony of the World Science Fiction Convention. How could I know that! But since this task has been given to me, I must complete it as soon as possible."
Who knew that Lin Han was very confident? No matter how anxious he was in his heart, he did not reveal anything in his words: "You should believe me. I am just one of the assistant directors. No matter how good or bad the opening ceremony is, I will not be direct." Hook up with me. Besides, this is Zhang Yimou. If he returns to the film industry in the future, it would be a good idea to have a good relationship with him!"
The name Foreign Exchange Ambassador sounds very awesome, but Lin Han was not carried away by the joy. He thought carefully in his mind and asked: "This Foreign Exchange Ambassador should not only have a nice name." Right? Do you really need me to go and communicate? "
"The "Fantasy Age" that you invested in celebrates the first anniversary of its resumption of publication. I would like to invite you to write a short story and publish it in next month's "Fantasy Age". This is not something you have to do. I'd better focus on the opening ceremony. I asked them to invite other science fiction writers. For example, brother Li Wenyuan is quite free, isn't he? I even asked you to have tea before."
"Uh-huh!"
Chen Jiaxuan asked in surprise: "So do you have an idea now?"
