139 [The Godmother of Science Fiction]
Song Weiyang first heard about "The Three-Body Problem" when he was at a banquet by a business tycoon.
In terms of assets, Song Weiyang can only be considered a little brother, following the butts of the rich and drinking soup. In terms of chatting, Song Weiyang is not afraid of anyone. Occasionally, some rich and powerful come to Xikang and call Song Weiyang to drink and brag.
At the dinner table, there are all topics, except for business, astronomy, geography, celebrity gossip, history, politics, literature and art..., I can talk about any topic, but I can be very excited.
That is the time for the rich and educated people to have fun. For them, it is much more comfortable to find a few peers who can chat with than sleeping with a few movie and television stars. In order to maintain this relationship, Song Weiyang never takes the initiative to ask the rich and help. Only a win-win business will come to each other, and do everything in business.
If you have too much appetite and ask too much, you won’t call you again next time you drink.
At that time, "The Three-Body Problem" had not won the award. Boss a said: "I recently read a novel by Liu Da, and it was really awesome!"
"Is it "The Three-Body Problem"?" asked Boss b.
"It's "Three-Body Problem"," said Boss a, "I have read science fiction novels for 20 years. The only thing that can really make me read all night is this "Three-Body Problem" in China."
Boss b smiled and said, "Haha, so do I!"
Song Weiyang didn't pay much attention to science fiction literature, and was completely confused at the time. These big bosses didn't talk about science fiction before, so why did they suddenly watch "The Three-Body Problem"? Is this novel really that mysterious?
After the banquet, Song Weiyang immediately called his assistant to buy a set of "Three-Body Problem", and then finished watching it happily.
To be honest, the "Law of Dark Forest" has a big loophole, and sometimes it also gives various characters a halo of mental retardation. But the flaws do not conceal the merits. This science fiction novel is indeed awesome. The plot development makes Song Weiyang completely unable to guess, and some things can also bring him aftertaste and think.
Such novels are really rare in China, and they are too rare, so it is not an exaggeration to be praised.
When Song Weiyang failed to start a business for the first time, "Wolf Totem" was all the rage. He really believed it and was determined to build a wolf team for the second time. But in actual operation, Song Weiyang quickly understood that whoever believes in "Wolf Totem" is stupid, and a company that believes in wolf culture may be big, but don't think about doing it for a long time, and you will die sooner or later.
The three-body system is different. The implicit contents of accidents and necessity, strength and weakness, omnipotence and ignorance, survival and destruction, innocence and cruelty can make Song Weiyang put aside his company's affairs and think behind closed doors.
It can be said that "Three-Body Problem" allowed Song Weiyang, who had completed his values in his previous life.
There are a thousand Hamlets in one thousand readers, and the works will no longer belong to the creator after they are published.
When Liu Da was writing "The Three-Body Problem", he definitely didn't think so much. What Song Weiyang read in his novel was another story, a story that only belonged to him.
...
"The story began in 1967, when Ye Wenjie's sister died in a fight..."
Writing novels is different from telling stories. Several large passages of text in the original work were directly condensed into one sentence by Song Weiyang.
Song Weiyang is very skillful in telling this novel that he has read repeatedly and thought about it several times and has no pause at all.
At first, the students in the audience thought this was another scar literature story, until Ye Wenjie was taken to the Hongban base.
Then, it's gone...
Song Weiyang didn't say anything for 20 minutes at all. After 11 minutes, he smiled and said, "I know what happens next, and listen to the next breakdown!"
Guo Tao was stunned and shouted: "Continue talking!"
"Let's just stop here for the time being." Song Weiyang said.
"No," Guo Tao grabbed Song Weiyang's wrist, "You must finish the story today, so how could you say only half of it!"
Nie Jun was fascinated by the hearing. This guy used to believe in Qigong, but now he is attracted by the Hongban Base. Anyway, he is all a more mysterious thing. He held Song Weiyang from the other side: "Tell me, let me talk about it, what is the Hongban Base for? Is the military used to contact aliens?"
Guo Tao urged: "Talk for another 10 minutes, you said it will last for 20 minutes!"
"Tell the story!"
"Speak quickly!"
"Has Ye Wenjie met an alien?"
“…”
The audience shouted one after another, making Song Wei numb. If he left directly, he would probably be beaten to death.
"Ahem," Song Weiyang cleared his throat, "Then how many minutes will I talk?"
"Speak quickly!" Guo Tao could no longer wait.
Song Weiyang held the microphone and continued to tell: "Thirty-eight years later..."
After saying only a few words, Xianghui Hall was silent and then it started to clamor.
Guo Tao couldn't help but interrupt him: "Where is the Red Bank Base that promised? Who is that base sending signals to? You have made it clear, why has it jumped to 38 years later at once!"
Nie Jun said: "Don't interrupt, let Lao Song continue talking."
Song Weiyang smiled and said, "Wang Miao was found by a strange combination, two policemen and two officers. One of them is very annoying. He is big and thick, has a face full of flesh, has dirty clothes, smells of smoke, and speaks loudly..."
This time, even Nie Jun couldn't stand it anymore and said depressedly: "Ye Wenjie, Ye Wenjie is the heroine. What's going on with this Wang Miao?"
Song Weiyang ignored it and continued: "The rude policeman took out his police officer's certificate, and after confirming Wang Miao's identity, he directly stole the cigarette into the house..."
"Everything leads to the result that physics never existed and will not exist in the future."
"As soon as Wang Miao closed his eyes, the countdown numbers appeared in his dark vision, lingering like a ghost."
"This night lasted for 48 years. Civilization No. 137 was destroyed in the severe cold. The civilization evolved to the level of the Warring States Period..."
When Ye Wenjie appeared again, she was already an old woman. Song Weiyang stopped when he spoke.
Nie Jun had a cold war all over and said nervously: "Old Song, are you a science fiction story or a horror story? I was so creepy!"
"That's right, my vest is sweating!" Guo Tao echoed.
Not only these two, the students of Xianghui Hall, all listened to science fiction attentively, but the more they listened, the more they developed, the more they became supernatural.
No one noticed that there was a woman about 40 years old sitting in the audience. She listened to the story with relish and waited until the event was over before she suddenly walked towards Song Weiyang.
This woman is named Yang Xiao, graduated from Beijing Aviation Academy. She became the editor-in-chief when "Science Fiction Literature" was about to go bankrupt. The superior authorities did not allocate a penny and the science fiction magazines could not be sold. Yang Xiao could only bring his subordinates to write children's stories and middle school physics albums together. She personally led her subordinates to ride tricycles and transport tens of thousands of books to schools.
In this way, the "Science Fiction Literature" magazine survived and renamed it "Science Fiction World".
When the magazine sales were less than 2,000 copies and they didn’t even have money to take a plane, Yang Xiao set out from Beijing and arrived in the Netherlands after taking the train for eight days and eight nights. She wanted to apply for the hosting rights of the World Science Fiction Association’s annual meeting!
When science fiction writers from all over the world learned the news, they were deeply impressed by Yang Xiao's spirit. In addition, she gave a speech on the theme of Oriental mystery, "Science Fiction World" won the hosting rights with an overwhelming advantage. At that time, not only did the magazine not have a reputation abroad, but few people even knew about it in China.
In 2000, "Science Fiction World" became the world's number one-selling science fiction magazine in Yang Xiao's hands.
Liu Da is a well-deserved hero in the Chinese science fiction world, and Yang Xiao is the savior in the Chinese science fiction world! Including Liu Da, most of the Chinese science fiction writers were cultivated by Yang Xiao.
