Hollywood Hunter - Chapter 1657 : Intercept 70 years

From Simon casually mentioning the concept of "Three-Body Problem" when he was chatting with everyone in Australia, to Sylvia's writing the story into a novel, to the recent completion of the final script by Daenerys's screenwriting team, the whole idea, compared to Simon's past memories have changed beyond recognition.

The new version, the heroine is named Angela Winston.

Angela, a deliberate name.

Angel, devil?

Angela Winston was born in World War I, went through World War II, then the long Cold War, and watched humanity almost destroy itself many times, as an astrophysicist, when participating in a secret alien detection program in the United States , accidentally received a signal from the Trisolarans, and the story unfolded.

A brand new story, from Sylvia's perspective, the initial tone is still the most politically correct topic in the world, peace.

However, with the emergence of Trisolarans, the news became public and nearly destroyed all existing ethical order in human society, ushering in a special era that lasted for hundreds of years.

The completed script, the first season is mainly based on the first novel of the past, the style is suspenseful, and it tells the story of human society step by step to uncover the terrifying truth that the Trisolaran has deeply penetrated into all aspects of the earth world. The most exciting part, Nature is still the lock of protons on the cutting-edge technology of human beings.

In addition, the setting of the three-body game was deleted and replaced with a secret three-body problem research club.

The West is the more popular club after all.

Next to the curtain wall of the Shell Villa covered by the golden sunset.

When Simon heard Sylvia's question, he shook his head and said, "Actually, many times, creators don't think too much in the process of completing a story. The key is what readers have seen, or what they want to see. "

Sylvia's new husband, Steve Elworth, echoed: "A thousand readers, there are a thousand Hamlets."

Simon nodded: "Yes."

Nancy Brill said: "I have read the first draft of Sylvia's novel, and the follow-up story ideas I just talked about. Simon, I believe, what are you trying to express?"

"I have to say, from 'war and peace' to 'survival is nothingness', there are indeed many," Simon shrugged and said with a smile: "Even, in the same plot, at different times, my personal thinking has been different, so , the question is still with you, what do you want to see?"

The crowd did not answer, but Nancy chased after him: "So, Simon, you must have read the script recently, so what did you think of?"

We all look together again.

Simon thought about it and said, "There is indeed one."

"Ok?"

Simon said: "I have been thinking about utopia recently, and I have come to a rather pessimistic conclusion."

Mindless.

Everyone looked puzzled.

Even Sylvia, who wrote the story herself, was inevitably curious: "Simon, what do you mean?"

Simon felt that the little guy on his lap was struggling to return to his mother's side, so he had to pick it up and hand it back to Nancy next to him. After sitting down again, he said, "Some random thoughts recently, just happened to be compatible with the "Three-Body Problem". 》 is related to a certain extent. In short, I suddenly discovered that utopia is against human nature, or, to put it more bluntly, utopia is against the survival nature of human beings as creatures. We can’t ask everyone to be like As noble as a saint, the result of forcible suppression will only be counterproductive."

There are smart people at the scene, Simon said, everyone couldn't help but fall into the association.

After a while, Janet said first: "An ideal that most people are pursuing, but it is destined to not exist. This is really a sad thing."

Janet sighed with emotion, but her tone was not at all sad.

And some smiles.

Nancy said with some rebuttal tone: "Idealism is definitely not wrong. It represents the best hope we have for the world as thinking human beings. What is wrong is just a series of bad realities."

Sylvia was a little puzzled: "Simon, are we talking about "The Three-Body Problem", I don't understand what you are talking about?"

Simon said: "I don't understand either. I have been thinking too much in recent years, and I can't help but talk nonsense."

Another burst of laughter.

Everyone laughed, and Sylvia said again: "The problem is, Simon, it turns out that whether it is utopia or dystopia, it does not fit our real society, doesn't it?"

"Of course," Simon said. "So, I am very pessimistic about the future of this world, because our nature is always easy to drag one thing to an extreme, and it is difficult to maintain a middle state."

Steve said again: "Simon, I probably understand what you are worried about, but isn't our system doing a good job of preventing this society from going to extremes in any direction?"

"Our system..." Simon sighed with emotion, looked at the young man who was about the same age as him, and said, "Steve, you must know that it is easy for people to fall into the illusion that what they have At a certain moment, a relatively beautiful moment, regarded as eternity, thinking that the world will always be like this, but it is not the case.”

Steve Elworth was puzzled for a moment.

Simon said: "In this way, according to the current average life expectancy of 70 years of our human beings, going back 70 years, 1930 to 2000, is equivalent to a person's life, then, you recall, our world, during this period, experienced How many bad moments are almost on the verge of destruction. Or, you can arbitrarily intercept 70 years from the last one or two thousand years of clear human history to see how many upheavals and disasters have occurred during that time.”

No one else on the scene had apparently considered this issue.

Simon's words fell, and everyone couldn't help but recall it together, and then they couldn't help but smile a little.

really.

Don't talk about the more distant history, just say 1930 to 2000, these seventy years, if this is a person's life, he or she will inevitably experience the Great Depression in the United States, the outbreak of World War II, the confrontation of the Cold War, the Cuban Missile Crisis, The long Vietnam War, the oil crisis, the stagflation of the 1980s, the Gulf War…

Just one bad moment after another bad moment.

After a while, Sylvia said: "Simon, I think, now is definitely different from before, the future... I mean, we have entered a new era, and the future should be full of hope, right? "

Simon took a small hand of Janet beside him and rubbed it lightly, and nodded slightly: "Maybe."
