Chapter 468 Three Body?

"Your voice doesn't sound right, didn't you sleep well last night?"

Chen Qing called in the morning to report on the sales of the new book. Zhang Zhong felt that his voice sounded a little tired, so he asked.

"No, maybe the phone signal is not very good, and the voice is a bit distorted." Chen Qing said with a smile, but this time the voice was much higher-pitched.

Knowing that he wasn't telling the truth, Zhang Chong said, "You're good at everything, but you don't care about your body, go catch up on sleep, today is the Dragon Boat Festival, come to my house for dinner tonight."

"Okay, I'll be there in the afternoon."

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Zhong took out two zongzi from the basin and handed them to Peng Peng who was watching TV, "Peel off yourself."

Pengpeng held the zongzi and asked, "Is it meat?"

"It's meat."

"Dad, I can't finish eating two, so peel one for you."

Zhang Zhong didn't really want to eat zongzi at first, but after hearing what his daughter said, he smiled and said, "Okay."

Pengpeng peeled one first, then leaned closer to smell it, nodded in satisfaction, then peeled another one, and gave Zhang Zhong another one after peeling it off.

Zhang Zhong rolled his eyes, this girl didn't believe him.

Before Zhang Zhong was looking for rice dumplings for her, she asked for meat, but Zhang Zhong accidentally found a white one for her, probably because of this, so she developed distrust of Zhang Zhong.

"Don't throw away the leaves after eating, your grandma should keep them."

"Well, I know."

Zhang nodded, and then went up to the second floor with the zongzi. Just now Chen Qing called and told him that he had sent him a video from the side of Chadong, let him have a look.

When I got upstairs, I turned on the computer and found the email Chen Qing said, which contained a 5-minute video.

Zhang focused on watching it. It was a short film of the Chadong boat race.

Since the release of "Border Town", the small town of Chadong has also attracted people's attention, and the local area has also brought back the previously abandoned Dragon Boat Festival show.

Looking at the clips and pictures of this short film, it should not be taken by ordinary tourists. It seems to be the official promotional film of Chadong, and the picture quality is very good.

After watching the video and eating a zongzi, Zhang Zhong wiped his hands, then called up the system screen in his mind and started the lottery draw.

He hasn't drawn a lottery for a long time, and he has accumulated a lot of points, 12. However, the increase in points has been slow recently, because he has no other works except those produced by the system.

Since he has enough points, Zhang Zhong now draws every [-] points.

[Draw [-] points once. ] Zhang Zhong gave the order.

[Drawing in progress... The draw is complete... Congratulations on winning the work "Three-Body Problem". 】

Three-body?

Hearing the title of the book, Zhang Chong was a little surprised, but then quickly searched in his mind, he wanted to know whether this "Three-Body Problem" refers to the first part of "Three-Body Problem" or the whole volume of "Three-Body Problem".

After the investigation, Zhang Zhong was a little disappointed. This time, he only got the first volume of "Three-Body Problem", and there were no "Dark Forest" and "Eternal Death".

Isn't this funny, without the dark forest and the eternal life of death, the three-body problem is still called the three-body problem?
Zhang Zhong was a little unwilling, and spent another [-] points to draw a prize.

[In the lottery... the lottery is complete, congratulations on winning the work "Metamorphosis"]

Seeing the book that was drawn, Zhang Zhong felt very complicated. "Metamorphosis" was very good, very good, very good, but it was not what he wanted.

He originally wanted to strike while the iron was hot, to see if he could get the last two parts of the Three-Body Problem, but the result disappointed him.

The most important thing is that he can write the novel "Metamorphosis" by himself with a lot of effort, after all, it is only so long.

"Forget it, I'm lucky."

Zhang Zhong shook his head. Since he couldn't hit the iron while it was hot, he didn't continue to smoke.

But what he is struggling with now is whether to send "Three-Body Problem" or not.

If I don't send it out, I'm not very reconciled, but if I send it out, if I can't get the next two volumes in the future, he feels that he can't fill such a big hole.

After much deliberation, he decided to copy these two books down and make plans later.

The reason why he was very happy when he got the "Three-Body Problem" just now is because this book is of great significance to Chinese science fiction readers.

This is the first Chinese work to win the Hugo Award, and it also opens up the science fiction channel between China and the world. In China, as long as there are readers who like to read science fiction, there is no one who does not know this novel.

In Zhang Zhong's heart, this novel can definitely compare with those classic science fiction novels that are famous all over the world.

Some people say that "The Three-Body Problem" was able to win the Hugo Award entirely because it wrote something about a special period, which is complete fart.

Zhang Zhong felt that if Liu Cixin was not a Chinese, he might be able to win all the science fiction awards in the modern world.

There are really few science fiction writers around Liu Cixin's age who can fight him.

The style of Liu Cixin's works has always been magnificent, and "The Three-Body Problem" is one of the best. The grandeur in his works is not only the grandeur of the scene, but also the grandeur of the artistic conception.

Some people say that Liu Cixin's novels show a lot of the scientific beauty of the universe. Although this kind of aesthetics is based on science, it also has the sense of artistic conception pursued by Chinese culture. A magnificent treachery.

Zhang Chong agrees with this statement very much, and at the same time believes that this is something unique to Liu Cixin's novels.

In his novels, there is no need for such extremely grand scenes, such as how many planets are destroyed by a single plasma cannon, how many light-years a battleship is long, just a law of the dark forest can make people fall into the abyss, far away, but And personally feel the vastness and infinity of the universe.

Feeling the weirdness of the world of "The Three-Body Problem" again in his mind, Zhang Zhong's previous entanglements were immediately swept away. Fuck him, what else to think about, what to press, and just let it go.

Quickly making a decision, Zhang Zhong put "Metamorphosis" first, and began to seriously transcribe "Three-Body Problem".

Some people criticize Liu Cixin's poor writing style, but Zhang Zhong doesn't think so. Writing style is a bit mysterious, and even great writers rarely mention writing style when studying literature.

In Zhang Zhong's view, Liu Cixin's writing style is absolutely adequate, and in some aspects the narration is beyond ordinary people's splendor. Except for the somewhat random character creation, other aspects are very good.

As for the characters, Zhang Chong doesn't think Liu Cixin can do well, but Liu Cixin must know what he wants to write, so he has a focus.

The purpose of writing is to make readers empathize, as long as the purpose is achieved.

For example, if readers can feel the magnificent scenes he describes, it proves that he has succeeded, and if he cannot feel it, it proves that he has failed.
