Chapter 445 Do androids dream of electric sheep?

After this series of bad-mouthing came out, and even Han Xun personally dismissed him, Zhang Zhong's fans were divided into two groups.

One group believes that Zhang Zhong has a detached status now and there is no need to get entangled with these monsters, because this is a very cheap thing and will also affect his own creation. Moreover, whether Zhang Zhong has exhausted his talents is not the final say of these people. We do it

Just be good to yourself.

The other group is filled with righteous indignation and feels that when things have reached this point, their boss, that is, Zhang Zhong, must come forward and strike hard to let those clowns know how powerful they are. Especially that dick Han Xun, a bad detective novelist, just

He should be taught a lesson.

The front group is more Buddhist, while the back group is more radical. On one side, they went to Zhang Zhong's whispers to call him to fight, and on the other hand, they went to Han Xun's whispers to scold him.

In fact, on the radical side, most of them are boring netizens who just watch the fun and don't take it too seriously, and there are also some counter-intuitive Sima Heizi. There are relatively few fans who are really serious, and these fans are still attracted by the previous two types.

Incited by people.

However, no matter how they called, Zhang Zhong would not come out.

Zhang Zhong has no intention to care about these things now. He is currently sitting in the study, browsing a book that he just picked up in his mind.

This book, like the previous one, has a longer name.

"Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?"

At first glance, this title seems to be the same as One Hundred Thousand Whys, but if you take a closer look at the keywords in the title, it suddenly becomes more profound.

Let’s not discuss what the hell an electronic sheep is, but can we ask whether androids can dream? This is a thought-provoking question in itself.

In fact, this is the key to the title of the book, so even if the name is changed, such as "Do Androids Dream of Flowers and Butterflies?", "Do Androids Dream of Electronic Dogs", "Do Androids Dream of Doraemon"

A dream?", it seems to be possible.

This is undoubtedly a science fiction novel, as you can probably tell from the title. The novel describes how after a nuclear war, radioactive fallout has brought the animals on the earth to the brink of extinction, and the earth is no longer suitable for human habitation.

In order to encourage the remaining human beings to immigrate, the government promises that as long as they immigrate to alien planets, each person will be automatically equipped with a bionic person to help them live.

The androids were not satisfied with the status quo of being enslaved by humans and tried every means to escape back to Earth.

The protagonist Rick is a bounty hunter who specializes in hunting down fugitive androids. During a pursuit, Rick encountered unprecedented challenges from new androids. While fighting for life and death, he was also in contact and competition with androids.

I found that my views and attitudes towards androids have changed a lot.

Some people who prefer to watch science fiction movies may think of a well-known science fiction movie when they see such a story.

In fact, when Zhang Zhong just picked up the book "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?", he immediately thought of that movie, which is regarded as a classic by some science fiction fans, "Blade Runner".

Compared with the name "Blade Runner", the title of the original book seems more childish, but Zhang Zhong likes the title of the book more and feels that such a title has more meaning.

In fact, the translation of Blade Runner itself is a bit strange, because the original English text is blade runner. If translated literally, it would probably be blade runner.

The name itself is not very pleasant, but people at that time thought it was quite cool, which was also due to the times.

The author Philip Dick was born in 1928, and this novel was published in 1968. He has many works, among which the more representative ones are "The Man in the High Castle", "Androids Dream of Electric Sheep"

What?", "Ubik" and "Cry My Tears".

Of course, in addition to these movies, there is another movie that is well-known to the public, and that is "Minority Report".

After going through the book in his mind, Zhang Zhong couldn't help but admire Philip's skill in handling words.

The writing style of many science fiction novelists is relatively weak, but not Philip [58 Novels www.58xs.vip]. His writing style is so good that he often excerpts one paragraph and it reads more like beautiful prose, but

Such beautiful writing without being pretentious, it all serves the storyline.

While admiring Philip's writing style, Zhang Zhong copied the book.

This novel will definitely need major revision. Whether it will be translated into Chinese or not is another matter. Let’s talk about the background of this novel first.

The novel was originally set in 1992, because from the perspective of the 1960s, the 1990s were an unreachable era. However, the publisher later pushed the time to 2021 for the sake of the timeline.

But now it is already 2021, and the time must be adjusted back.

There are also some parts that seem unreasonable now and need to be revised. What Zhang needs to do is to make this novel more suitable for this era.

Just immerse yourself in work, Zhang Zhong became active. Not only did readers not see a new book for a long time, Zhang Zhong also didn’t write a new book for a long time.

While Zhang Zhong was writing the book, there were some new developments on the Internet regarding the matter of "Zhang Zhong's exhaustion".

At first, it was Yu Dongyu who tweeted: Do detective novelists only have detective novels in their eyes?

This post did not name anyone, but under the current circumstances, netizens couldn't help but associate this post with Zhang Zhong's incident.

However, netizens are still unclear about Yu Dongyu's attitude and what his whisper means.

Most people still think that Yu Dongyu is speaking for Zhang Zhong, after all, someone has said before that Yu Dongyu and Zhang Zhong have a very good relationship.

But in this world, even if you have a good relationship, there are still people who stab you in the back. Besides, others say that you have a good relationship. No one knows what kind of relationship they have.

But soon, it became clear to them.

Because Yu Dongyu and Liu Yuan each posted a long article.

The title of Yu Dongyu’s long article is very grandiose: Zhang Zhong who likes to show off and his mystery novels.

"Zhang Zhong showed off his fine control over the plot as never before. He manipulated his own narrative clues like God, but left the fate of the characters to chance."

"The perfect rhythm, although it seems not suspenseful, reveals all the suspense in life. It is absurd but has eternal shocking power. Coincidences are stacked up accurately like miracles. Every hit is in line with the natural frequency. Domino

The dominoes fell irresistibly, so terrifying yet so natural!”

Although the title is exaggerated, every line is full of praise for "An Exaggerated Murder Case."

In addition to praise, Yu Dongyu also analyzed the narrative device used in the novel - a narrative device he called "miraculous".
