So many excellent films have been adapted from his novels, but there are very few works by other science fiction writers.
Now seeing Lin Han in front of the podium, Yin Wenzheng feels that everything is worth it!
The bookmakers laughed from ear to ear. Many people bought other French writers, but they did not expect that they would lose to the young Lin Han.
Lin Han, on the other hand, was surprised to find that he got lost on campus and wandered to a place he had never been before. He had to use his mobile phone to turn on the navigation!
Lin Han patted the podium with his hand and said, "Although we won the award, we still have to continue the class. Please be quiet first!"
But Yin Wenzheng and others immediately retorted, ""The Martian" was very good, and there is also "Jurassic Park"!"
Domestic news reports related to culture are the fastest. Later, because of Lin Han's personal reasons, entertainment magazines and websites also quickly reported and forwarded them, and the efficiency was amazing!
"Teacher Lin, are those five novels adapted from novels all your works?"
The students in the audience were naturally fascinated by what he said, and many couldn't help but nod in agreement. It spoke to their hearts.
"The 115th French Goncourt Literary Prize announced the final list. Chinese writer Lin Han became the first writer in history to win the award for a science fiction novel, making the history of the literary award!"
Being coaxed by his classmates, Lin Han laughed helplessly, "Originally, I didn't want Granny Wang to brag about herself, but I finally tried to be humble and was found out. Then let me just say this, in addition to my science fiction novels, recently There haven’t been many excellent science fiction movies adapted from novels in a few years!”
Everyone turned their attention to the boy in the middle, who quickly blushed and spoke in a lower voice, "The Weibo client just pushed a message that you won the Goncourt Literature Prize! "
He has been occupying a seat here since seven in the morning, and even moved his professional class in the morning to tomorrow just to get a good seat.
"Lin Han, a writer born in the 1980s, won the Prix Goncourt for his work "Hyperion". It is reported that this is Lin Han's first literary award!"
…
As a science fiction writer and director, Lin Han is indeed qualified to analyze like this, and what he said is also what he has personally experienced.
Just when Lin Han restored order in the classroom, the media outside almost went crazy, especially those who knew how powerful the Goncourt Prize was.
Lin Han, who was standing on the podium, was also slightly absent-minded. When he got the nomination some time ago, he was already prepared for disappointment. He is a science fiction novel and a foreign writer. He wanted to be sure of winning the French Goncourt Prize. very difficult.
He does have such confidence. In the past year, "The Martian", "Immortal", and "Jurassic Park" have successively bombarded the big screen.
"I heard that Paramount invited tourists to experience VR movies at the recent VR exhibition. Many people were so frightened by the VR version of "Jurassic Park" that they sat on the ground and kept retreating. Some even screamed and cried. .Teacher Lin, where can we have this kind of experience in our country?"
One media after another rushed to report on it, and no one paid attention to the original favorites to win the prize. It was instinct to chase the winners.
However, at this time, a voice suddenly rang, "Teacher Lin, you won the award!"
Lin Han explained it in detail and the regulations were clear.
…
Next, the media in Italy, Greece, Germany, the United Kingdom, Spain, the United States, and China also took action. Before the Nobel Prize in Literature was announced, the Goncourt Prize was a major event in the literary world and qualified to receive widespread attention.
The classroom suddenly became buzzing. The students were all sitting in their seats and whispering to each other, and the sound gradually became louder.
"Teacher Lin is indeed the best, although I don't know what this award is for."
There are still twenty minutes left before class starts today, but the classroom that can accommodate more than two to three hundred people is full. There are people in every seat, and there are even people who have brought their own small benches to sit at the back of the classroom.
When Lin Han came in, these students seemed to have seen an idol star. They all exclaimed, screamed and clapped, making him particularly embarrassed.
"Don't be modest, everyone knows that "Jurassic Park" is your novel!"
"My favorite is "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea"!"
Li Wenyuan followed Lin Han around the Peking University campus and then left alone. He was very interested in the plan Lin Han mentioned, so he planned to communicate with the Science Fiction Association.
"Chinese writer Lin Han won the Prix Goncourt for "Hyperion""
"Yes, "Jurassic Park" is so shocking. It is definitely a model for adapting novels into movies."
After hearing what Lin Han said, all the students present couldn't help laughing. It was not easy to see such a real Teacher Lin.
Since it was not yet class time, Lin Han did not officially start the lecture. He interacted with these students, "Our course is called Science Fiction Literature and Film and Television. It talks about the relationship between literature and film and television. Which book do you like best? ?”
"The 2017 Goncourt Prize goes to a science fiction writer whose works are rich in ideological connotation and once topped the French book sales list!"
"It would be nice to live forever!"
The entire storyline is exposed to the audience early. What matters is the director's ability, the actors' acting skills, visual effects and auditory effects. Only top-notch works can be loved by the audience!
As early as when the nominations were announced, this award hit the screen once, and many people knew about it. Now that Lin Han has finally won the award, the attention is naturally different. After all, he is the winner.
"The French literary award Goncourt goes to science fiction literature!"
"Lin Han captured Gong Gul and became the first Chinese writer to win the award!"
"Wow, congratulations to Teacher Lin, you won another award. You look so awesome."
Therefore, movies adapted from science fiction novels generally have polarized reputation distribution, either very good or very bad, and there is no middle ground.
"I don't know if you have noticed it, but the outstanding science fiction movies in the past five years are all original. There are very few science fiction movies adapted from novels and well-produced. According to IMDB's ratings, in the past five years, more than 1,500 users Poll: Only five of the top thirty sci-fi movies were adapted from novels!"
This is obviously a very unrealistic fantasy. Just imagine, with only two hours of images, how can it be possible to restore the reading experience of dozens of hours of a full-length novel
It can be said that Lin Han alone supports half of the sky of science fiction movies!
Originally, everyone was a little angry at this kind of person who interrupted the order of the class, but after hearing this classmate's words, quite a few students did the same thing, which was to lower their heads and take out their mobile phones to check.
"Gravity is also good. I like all Verne's books."
In the coming time, "Flowers for Algernon" starring Leonardo DiCaprio in November, "The Matrix" directed by Lin Han in February next year will be released in turn, and there will also be film and television copyright transfer agreements that have been finalized. Three movies, "The Time Traveler's Wife", "The Wandering Earth" and "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" are waiting to start filming!
This is indeed a fact. Zheng Shuping once joked with Lin Han with a smile that if "The Martian" failed, he would be beaten by readers of Lin Han's novel. The pressure from fans of the original work was indeed a bit high.
Many fans of the novel hope that the movie can restore the entire experience of breathing when they read the work, and show the dream caused by the words in their minds from beginning to end.
"Similar to science fiction novels, science fiction movies are also an art form where creativity is king. Movies adapted from science fiction novels first lose the first-look effect that surprises the audience. Like my "The Martian", the ending of the protagonist is already clear at a glance, and there is no clue The suspense and even the entire story are quite familiar to the audience. The director of the film will also be subject to many restrictions because the film is adapted from a novel and it will be difficult to give full play to it!"
"First of all, we need to know that when a movie is adapted from a novel, it seems that it is using the movie to interpret the original novel, but in fact it should be regarded as a brand-new creation. The purpose of the movie is never to restore the novel or to visualize the text!"
The official website of French newspaper Le Figaro was the first to announce the results, "The Goncourt Prize was announced, and the Chinese science fiction writer became the final winner!"
Lin Han pressed his hands down to signal the students to be quiet. He turned on the microphone on the classroom podium, "Hello everyone, first of all, I have to say sorry to everyone. It took so long for the class to start. Thank you to everyone who came to listen to the class. classmates!"
Lin Han smiled and continued: "In the following time, we will discuss the relationship between science fiction novels and science fiction movies. In other words, what kind of movie adaptation is good? What are the differences when adapting novels into movies? How can we maintain the essence of novels while making innovations and breakthroughs in movies? How should science fiction movies respect the original works? What is the charm of novels and movies? I will try to finish it with you this semester. If not, , continue next semester!”
There are also girls saying "Flowers for Algernon" in a high-pitched and sweet voice. Everyone has different aesthetics, but many people only know science fiction through Lin Han's works.
"Wow, France's most powerful literary prize is actually awarded to "Hyperion". It is indeed my favorite novel!"
Yin Wenzheng was sitting in the first row. He replied excitedly: "It doesn't matter!"
The students began to nod in unison. What Lin Han just said sounded very interesting. Most of them had seen science fiction movies, but they didn't know which ones were adapted from novels.
"Hey, it's true. UC also sent a message: Shocked! A Chinese writer actually won the highest prize in French literature!"
Few people in the world could have imagined that Lin Han would win the award. Except for his advantages in sales, the rest are disadvantages, and he turned out to be a super dark horse!
"Hyperion is great."
"Of course it's your "Jurassic Park", Mr. Lin. The novel is even more exciting than the movie. I went to the cinema to watch it three times and I was shocked every time!"
