I Really Didn't Want to Be the Savior

Chapter 412

After recognizing Chen Feng, Liu Kade, a mixed race Chinese boy, suddenly congested and flushed his white face behind his glasses.

"You... Are you Mr. Chen Feng Chen?"

Chen Feng nodded expressionless, "yes. What's the matter? Do you know me?"

"My God! How can I not know you!"

Liu Kade suddenly covered his mouth, was so excited that he covered his face and cried, choked and said in a trill: "I... i... I'm sorry, I'm so excited. Last month, my teacher and I participated in some checking of your conjecture set. I really... Really admire you! I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I can't control my mood. I didn't expect to meet you here. I... I..."

Master Chen looked up at the sky.

He thought of such a sentence silently in his heart.

What a simple, honest and lovely young man.

Why

I'm guilty!

Master Chen is really mixed with feelings when the contestant who is actually the best science fiction writer in at least a hundred years and is also the object of his own plagiarism is treated with such a worship attitude.

wait?

It doesn't seem like the first time.

Why am I even red?

Alas, this man, if he wants face, he can't do everything after all.

It took Chen Feng a few more seconds to adjust his mood.

He patted the shoulder of his peers across the street, "don't get excited. Calm down. I'm not much older than you."

James Diaz coughed twice and motioned Liu card to pay attention to the influence.

Hoo... Hoo

It took Liu card about ten seconds to take a deep breath before slowly calming down his mood. He reluctantly smiled awkwardly, "I'm sorry."

Compared with Ryan, who is confident and arrogant, although Liu card is also a top student at Berkeley University, he is a lot more modest and introverted, even a little humble and likes to apologize.

Chen Feng knows why.

Liu card is very smart, but his identity of Sino Russian mixed race makes him very embarrassed, and his personal characteristics are very obvious. Others can easily recognize him at a glance.

Some experiences of being excluded in his childhood have been hidden in his heart, causing an indelible shadow. He is not good at words. Instead, he only likes to record his ideas in words.

"It's all right." Chen Feng waved his hand. "You don't have to be so excited, let alone belittle yourself. You can be a great person in the future. I'm not great, one nose and two eyes."

Chen Feng, this is a very polite encouragement.

He will be considering whether he can do something to call on Liu Kade as compensation.

You can't just give him money. Chen Feng will be suspected of sexual orientation.

It's just that inspiration is really hard to tell. Chen Feng doesn't know how to supply each other with a complete inspiration for a while.

Literature is no better than music.

The inspiration of music is often short-term ideas that stimulate long-term life experience, and then boil like a volcanic eruption. Therefore, Zhong Lei can be copied more and more.

Of course, it may also be Zhong Lei's talent.

What Liu Kade was robbed by Chen Feng was a complete "huge world" that he slowly constructed in nearly 20 years.

Therefore, it is difficult for Chen Feng to give him another huge world.

Master Chen himself is not good at creating stories. He is a little difficult.

"Mr. Chen, you are so modest."

"Yes."

At this time, James had seen that Chen Feng attached great importance to the young man's attitude and simply asked Liu Kade, who was also very familiar with the set environment, to act as a guide for Chen Feng.

He himself just got away and turned to think about the setting he was building.

James' arrangement is in line with Chen Feng's intention.

"Card, let's leave a contact information."

They didn't go two places, so Chen Feng took the initiative to exchange numbers.

Liu card was flattered.

This guy is worthy of being an excellent student of Berkeley. He has a wide range of knowledge and works very carefully. Basically, he can tell James's intention of such arrangement for important scenes.

Chen Feng just started listening with interest.

After all, he himself is about to invest in movies. Knowing more about the ideas of famous directors will help him become a good consultant.

But before long, Chen Feng gradually lost interest because Liu card's explanation was too detailed, and he knew the box office and reputation of James's film. It can only be said that it was excellent, but it was far from a classic.

About an hour later, on the beach outside the studio, under the sun umbrella, Chen Feng sat in a chair with his legs crossed, while Liu Kade remained very restrained.

"Card, do you like science fiction?"

"Of course."

"What do you like best?"

Liu Kade pondered for a moment, "the king of light", "the ring world", "can bionic people dream of electronic sheep", "base" series. "

Chen Feng gave a thumbs up, "good eye. But did you find a problem?"

"What?"

"Most of the recognized classic science fiction novels came into being decades or even nearly a hundred years ago. Although there are good science fiction in recent years, the number of classic novels can not be compared with the past. Why do you think this is? Is it because today's readers cherish the past and despise the present?"

Liu card was a little embarrassed. "Sorry, I don't quite understand the meaning of valuing the past and neglecting the present. My Chinese level is relatively general."

"That is, contemporary people always admire the stories of the past and despise the preconceived works of their contemporaries, even if the quality of these works is actually equal."

In saying so, Chen Feng thought of Liu Kade's own "Star River never dies" series in the early timeline.

The book became a classic and was adapted into a famous film, which also happened decades after his own death.

When Liu Kade was still alive, the star never dies was sprayed.

Liu card chewed Chen Feng's meaning, "I see. But I think it may be that these great authors used their vision decades in advance to cut in from the perspective of pure fantasy and found enough reasonable scientific basis. The future theory described in the great works has been gradually recognized in recent years. Scientific and technological progress has proved that some of the original pure overhead theories really have a certain factual basis, which makes them illusory decades ago , it has gradually become today's science, so it is called a classic. "

Chen Feng smiled and nodded, "Yes, even if a book is wrong, as long as there are a few points in it that are correct and the story itself is logical, then this book is a good science fiction. But this does not explain why there are fewer and fewer contemporary classic science fiction. You have to know that the books you mentioned just now have achieved great influence shortly after their birth."

Liu card thought for a long time, but shook his head. "This is too profound. Do you know the reason, Mr. Chen?"

Chen Feng nodded, "I do know."

Master Chen has a conclusion in his mind, but this is not his own original creation, but a summary from many historians and writers and artists in many time lines.

When human civilization entered the 21st century, as time went on, it seemed that human beings really lost their imagination. Since then, science fiction works have been created from generation to generation.

Science fiction is becoming more and more illusory and unscientific.

For example, in the eighth timeline, in the 21st century, there are works such as three bodies, the river of stars, the clockwork girl and Mr. shadow, which have declined irreversibly since then.

In the 25th Century, there were only one or two left, one of which was Chen Feng's own Ji chuanti novel Feng Lei.

Master Chen said hot eyes.

In the thirtieth century, it will be even worse.

Not to mention the great novels, even the movies are gone, which makes Chen Feng very painful.

First, he could only watch "antique films" in his spare time in the 31st century. Second, it made him anxious whether mankind really lost the ability to imagine the future.

Therefore, he devoted himself to the study of historical materials, which enabled him to ponder the generally accepted views of scholars.

Now he is going to touch Liu card a little, starting with science fiction in the 21st century.

"First of all, we can analyze a phenomenon. Do you think that in recent years, the content of fantasy in science fiction, films and TV dramas has become more and more important, but the content of science has become lower and lower?"

Liu card: "yes. But why?"

"Because the more humans know and understand the essence of the universe, the more we pursue the balance between truth and fantasy, we will inevitably gradually tend to truth. Our imagination will gradually decline with the progress of science and technology. In addition, do you know the definition of a good long scientific fantasy novel?"

Liu Kade: "based on the present and focusing on the future, the outlined future scientific background should meet the theoretical expectations, and the discussion and depiction of human nature should have a real texture in sociology."

Chen Feng nodded, "Well said. Then let me ask you another question. How many years of study does it take for an ordinary person to join Newton's laboratory and become an experimental assistant? What is the level of knowledge? Now, take yourself as an example, how many years of study does it take for an ordinary person to become a scientific research assistant in the Key Laboratory of Berkeley University? How many years of study What little knowledge do you have? "

Liu card gradually understood, "I see. First of all, a classic science fiction novel can not only focus on a few characters and a single future technology. It must have a perfect and grand world outlook. Then it must involve all aspects of technology in the future world. Dozens or even a hundred years ago, an excellent science fiction writer also needed to read a lot of books and keep up with it They are both proficient and erudite. But in our era, with the rapid innovation of scientific and technological level, the amount of knowledge enriched by mankind is becoming larger and larger, and the amount of basic knowledge included in each discipline is too large. "

"There are more and more scientific and technological hotspots every day, and some classical theories in the past have been subverted. To become a perfect science fiction writer, you need to master an amazing range of knowledge, which is difficult to learn with human energy, so fallacies will inevitably appear in creation and cause controversy. Therefore, it is more and more difficult for people to write a long classic science fiction The greater, and this difficulty will continue to increase with the further sublimation of social fine division of labor. "

Chen Feng nodded, "yes, your view is basically correct. Maybe in a few hundred years, mankind will have no science fiction and movies to watch. After a thousand years, there will be only about one theme left in science fiction."

"What subject matter?"

"Time travel."

"Uh... I see."

So far, Chen Feng chose to stop.

There are only so many tips he can give Liu card.

As for what Liu Kade can do, everyone has his own life.

Next, Liu card was a little curious and asked Chen Feng about the questionnaire he had done with Oxford professor in China some days ago.

He wanted to know whether the results of the investigation were true.

Chen Feng told him that of course it was true.

"So people who can speak Chinese do so much better in the face of the end than people who can only speak English?"

Chen Feng smiled, "maybe, who knows. Before it happened, everything was speculation."

"Mr. Chen, I came up with the idea of a science fiction story."

Liu card suddenly said.

"What?"

"I was thinking that if a Chinese could travel through a time and space tunnel thousands of years later and really see the end. Then the tunnel was very strange. Whenever he was about to die in the end, he would pull him back to the present. Then he could pass again after a period of time. Do you think he would really try to do something to change the future and save the end? What would he do What do you do? "

"Oh, I..."

Chen Feng almost jumped out of his chair.

I'm just giving you a hint. Do you want to be so brain tonic!

You are a monster!

Something happened to the caller.

Seems to be hatching "Feng Lei" in advance.

Chinese? Think I don't understand the hint?

I'm still alive. Are you going to set up a monument for me?

What's going on?
