Chapter 363 "Dark Forest" is here! (two in one big chapter, please subscribe)

"Really him?"

"That Feng Lin who wrote "The Wandering Earth"?"

"God! He actually came back!"

"The moment I saw the name, I was terrified."

Internationally, a sentence emerged in the minds of countless media reporters. It was what Fenglin said when he let "The Wandering Earth" withdraw from the World Science Fiction Convention:

[I, Fenglin, do not eat the food that comes from you.To win, you have to win to convince them. 】

At the beginning, Fenglin's remarks made the international media and many western netizens ridicule.

Don't eat the food that comes from you?

Win to convince them?
Ah!
The oriental people who are stubborn even if they have no strength are just a joke.

At that time, there were even countless western netizens clamoring on various social networks: Is there a kind of you, Fenglin, to convince them?come?

did not expect.

just now.

Fenglin really came. This sci-fi writer who was ridiculed internationally and even insulted by the media and netizens in his own country reappeared in front of the public in a way that no one had thought of.

And this time.

He came with light!

……

……

Berlin, at a high-end banquet scene.

Feasting and feasting.

Gong chips are staggered.

There are only three days left before the opening of the World Science Fiction Convention, so at this moment almost all the top science fiction masters in the world are invited by the organizers.

Looking around at the luxurious banquet scene, there are at least [-] internationally renowned sci-fi experts and more than [-] well-known sci-fi writers.

Warm atmosphere.

As the most popular person for the Hugo Awards, Igo, an international master of science fiction and the author of the best-selling science fiction masterpiece "Mysterious Man", he is surrounded by all kinds of people who come to congratulate and compliment him.

"Hey, Master Yi Ge, your "Mysterious Man" is really beautiful."

"Mr. Egg, this time the Hugo Award is definitely yours."

"Yesterday, it was officially announced that the global sales of "Mysterious Man" have exceeded [-] million."

"..."

There was a faint smile on Yigo's face, but there seemed to be no joy in the depths of his eyes, but an undetectable trace of worry and anxiety.

After a while.

His assistant came over in a hurry and whispered in his ear: "Mr. Yige, the news came out. Yesterday your "Mysterious Man" sold 2.8 copies worldwide. The sales volume of "Three-Body Problem" is... 65 Thousands of volumes."

Although the sales volume of a book may not necessarily reflect its excellence, there is absolutely no sales volume for a work that is not excellent.

After Yi Ge heard the assistant's words, his breathing froze for a moment.

After a while, he whispered, "Have you bought the book?"

The assistant nodded: "Well, it's in my bag."

"give me."

Yi Ge put down the wine glass in his hand, ignored everyone's surprised eyes, took a beautiful "Three-Body Problem" from his assistant, and found a corner to read it.

For the first ten minutes, the sci-fi master's expression remained unchanged.

Twenty minutes later, his expression gradually became serious.

After half an hour, his speed of turning the pages of the book slowed down greatly, and many times he even went back to check the previous text before continuing to read.

after an hour……

Yi Ge suddenly raised his head and looked at the noisy environment around him. He frowned and said to his assistant, "You continue to attend the banquet for me, I'll go back first."

The assistant was taken aback: "Huh?"

Yi Ge carefully clamped "Three-Body Problem" under his arm, and hurriedly left the banquet.

……

Internationally, although the sales of "Three-Body Problem" this time detonated the world and shocked the industry.However, looking at countless forums and social platforms, apart from sci-fi fans who are discussing this work enthusiastically, no famous person has come forward to comment on this work.

Not to mention some columnists, even ordinary sci-fi writers have not commented on "The Three-Body Problem", let alone top sci-fi experts and well-known critics.

All the people in the industry tacitly kept silent.

In this case, no matter how good the sales volume of "Three-Body" is, no one dares to say how good it is, and no one dares to compare it with "Mysterious Man" and "Starry Sky Blue Whale" on a professional level. works on a par.

However, just as the science fiction world remained silent on "Three-Body Problem".

on twitter.

Yi Ge suddenly published a long tweet: "Sorry, I just got the "Three-Body Problem" today. Although I have heard about it from some science fiction fans and fans, I have never had time to read it. This book. Until this evening my assistant bought it. Then, I spent a full eight hours flipping through this book. I don’t know how to rate this book, I can only say that "Three-Body Problem" is in Among all the science fiction novels I have read, it is qualified to be filmed in the top ten. And in my feeling, this novel seems to have just opened the curtain, and the excitement has just begun. I am looking forward to the next plot. I really did not expect In that eastern country, such an excellent work can be produced.

I know that this writer named Feng Lin once wrote "The Wandering Earth", and I also read that work that was ridiculed by many people just now.In my opinion, it is fully qualified to be shortlisted for the World Science Fiction Convention. I don't know why such a good work is said to be a charity to be shortlisted?

But this time!Fenglin withdrew "The Wandering Earth", and he brought "Three-Body Problem"!
This time, he came stepping on the light!

This time, no one could block the dazzling golden glow that bloomed from his body. "

Not long after Igo finished tweeting.

I saw Wagner retweet his tweet, and then wrote: "Like Mr. Ego, I just finished reading "Three-Body Problem", and I was really amazed by the brain hole and plot. The writing is so real, as if I have experienced it myself, rather than reading a novel. I admit that I have sunk because of this work. At least in my opinion, my "Abyss Steel" is far inferior to it. Just count from it With the impressive achievement of selling two million copies in one day, "The Three-Body Problem" is fully qualified to be a great science fiction masterpiece."

Just ten minutes.

Two world sci-fi masters successively posted tweets in support of the Three-Body Problem!

The entire sci-fi world was in a turbulent moment, and then many professionals and senior writers in the sci-fi world who had been silent before could no longer remain silent, but stood up one by one.

A science fiction writer: "I have to say, "The Three-Body Problem" is an excellent work."

A science fiction magazine: "Stunning work, let me admire."

A veteran of science fiction: "It can be called a great work of the same level as Mr. Egg's "Mysterious Man"."

A famous sci-fi master: "It seems that this time, China has produced an excellent sci-fi writer."

"..."

Then, the media lost their temper.

[Chinese writer brings a sci-fi masterpiece]

[Chinese science fiction writer "Three-Body Problem" created a sales miracle]

[A sci-fi masterpiece comparable to Egg's "Mysterious Man": "The Three-Body Problem"]

[There are no good science fiction works in Huaxia?Maybe "Three-Body Problem" can change your impression]

With the voices of more than a dozen heavyweights in the science fiction world, such as Igo and Wagner, and under the news of the media, "Three-Body" has completely established its position in the science fiction world, and its excellence has been recognized by the industry.

And this time.

Egg gets a call from his assistant.

The anxious voice of the assistant on the other end of the phone sounded: "Mr. Yi Ge, how can you post a post on Twitter to praise "Three-Body Problem"? , You boast so much, what do ordinary readers think? How do the media guess? Such an excellent work is not even qualified to participate in the World Science Fiction Convention... Isn’t this a slap in the face for us?”

"Don't worry too much."

Yi Ge smiled lightly: "I admit that "The Three-Body Problem" is very good. If such a masterpiece is buried, criticized, and not recognized, it is the tragedy of the science fiction world, so I must speak out for it, otherwise the future of science fiction The reputation in the world will be gone. I believe Wagner thought the same way. We can't despise "Three-Body Problem" just because it was written by Chinese people. We must admit its excellence.

But although "The Three-Body Problem" is very shocking, my "Mysterious Man" is even better.It can be said that my "Mysterious Man" is not inferior to "Three-Body Problem" no matter in terms of brain hole, plot or writing style.Fenglin's "Three-Body Problem" can sell two million copies in more than ten days, because its brain hole has never been heard before, and science fiction fans have a fresh feeling.For example, three years ago, Fordley's sci-fi work "The Other End of the Wormhole" achieved a miracle of [-] million annual sales, but in the end it still missed the Hugo Award and only won one finalist award.Because the award-winning works of the World Science Fiction Convention are not just fresh enough.So I praise the Three-Body Problem, but it does not prevent me from being on the top podium of the World Science Fiction Convention. This time, I am bound to win the Hugo Award! "

When he said this, Egg's eyes burst into a blazing light.

"Three-Body Problem" is indeed excellent, but it is still far from enough to make him succumb!

So what if "Three-Body Problem" didn't participate in this selection?

The World Science Fiction Convention will not change its quality because of the appearance of "Three-Body Problem"!It is still the top sci-fi event in the world!Without exception!

……

at the same time.

In the distant China, Lin Xuan had already received a call from Marcus himself, knowing that the overseas sales of "The Three-Body Problem" had exploded.

There wasn't much surprise on his face.

Two million copies count as an explosion?

Not so far!

In the previous life, "Three-Body Problem" sold tens of millions of copies around the world in just a few years!Its annual royalties are as high as tens of millions!

He took a sip of the vegetable lightly and moistened his throat.

Lin Xuan smiled and said, "Mr. Marcus, have you prepared the second part I sent?"

Marcus said: "Mr. Lin, the second part has already been translated and typeset, and I have even printed a million copies here, which can be distributed worldwide at any time. But I have a suggestion, can your second part Delayed release? After all, the first part of "The Three-Body Problem" is currently being sold all over the world. If the second part is released now, firstly, it is impossible to know whether it will be as popular as the first part. Sales have had a certain impact."

In Marcus's view, basically all books, TV, movies, the second word-of-mouth is not as good as the first.

Therefore, he is worried that after the second part of "Three-Body Problem" is released, if the word-of-mouth collapses, it will cause adverse reactions.The first part of "The Three-Body Problem" was only sold for more than ten days, so the second part can be delayed for three months or half a year.

"No!"

Lin Xuan's eyes were piercing, and there was a rare gleam in his eyes: "There is no need to delay, it will be launched right now!"

Marcus's heart skipped a beat: "Are you sure?"

Lin Xuan: "Sure."

Marcus is still not reconciled: "But just in case... I mean, in case the second word-of-mouth is not good, you may suffer multiple losses in word-of-mouth, money, and reputation. This risk is really too great."

Lin Xuan smiled: "It's okay."

"OK then."

Marcus had to agree.

Only Lin Xuan had a faint smile on his lips.

Word of mouth is not as good as the first one?
Word of mouth collapse?

Impact on the sales of the first part?

It doesn't exist!
Because he deeply understands that the first part of the "Three-Body Problem" trilogy can only be considered excellent!The second part is the real work of conferring the gods!And the third step can be called the work of God!
Each one is a qualitative leap.

The first one might just be amazing.

The second part is to make people feel a deep shock and fear when watching it, the fear of being dominated by the three-body man.

The third part, then it can only make science fiction fans fall into a complete sluggishness, feeling that it is God's idea.

The quality of this trilogy is leaping up from level to level!
Those internationally famous people said that he is now coming with light?

Feel sorry!

The current light is the rising sun... It's still far away!
If the first "Three-Body Problem" can be regarded as the light of the rising sun, which makes people admire its charm, then the light of the second part can be called the blazing sun at noon, which makes everyone unstoppable. As for the third part, it is already It turned into a raging fire that filled the sky, completely annihilating people.

"Next, let you feel what a true sci-fi epic drama is, and feel the soul fear of being dominated by a three-body man!"

Sitting on the office chair, Lin Xuan whispered a word.

The next day.

When countless people around the world were still immersed in the shock brought by the sales of "Three-Body Problem", a book suddenly appeared on the shelves of thousands of bookstores around the world: "Three-Body Problem: Dark Forest".

The second part of the "Three-Body" trilogy "Dark Forest" is officially released globally!
