Chapter 339 Predicting the future? Social Impact
A young man in this area was sued in court for compensation last year because he helped an old man who fell and injured himself.
This case only caused some minor disturbances in the local area. After all, although such things are rare, they are not unprecedented.
However, in this report now, a very interesting point is mentioned.
In the recent first-instance judgment, the judge said in court, "You didn't hit anyone, why did you help him?"
The young man was also sentenced to pay compensation.
This is too similar to the case mentioned in "She" written by Chen Linfeng. Even the sentence "You didn't hit me, why did you help me" are almost the same as the words of the judge in reality. same.
In the report of Southern Zhou Dynasty, the original text of the novel was directly quoted and compared with real events.
So similar!
Although the description of the specific time in the novel is not very clear, there is only one sentence about helping someone being blackmailed, and this eternal classic.
But the great thing about Chinese is that short words contain a huge amount of information.
The old man was being blackmailed, and the incident was explained very clearly in just 5 words.
Isn’t this what is happening now? It’s exactly the same.
This report instantly caused an uproar.
A lot of people have paid attention to Chen Linfeng’s award. Combined with social events, 1+1 is far greater than 2.
Soon, almost all social news and general media reported news that was almost completely consistent with the case and the novel.
Because of Chen Linfeng’s own attributes, literary media, entertainment media, and even financial news all reported on this matter.
“The case of helping people in N city collided with the prophecy in Xiao Chen’s works. The real events are almost consistent with the descriptions in the story. After the first instance judgment of the case of helping people, is it really as written in the novel? Is it true? False?"
——"Oriental Morning Post"
"Is it a coincidence or foresight? Xiao Chen's works in 2004 are almost perfectly consistent with what happened in 2008. This is genius. Insight, or the law of development? ”
——"Wen Wei Po"
"Since the development of the Renren Case, the people's social morality and trust in the country's legal system have suffered extremely serious damage.
Things have not ended here. At the end of the day, a reasonable follow-up second trial, and if the relevant laws and regulations can be improved in a timely manner, there is a chance to save the situation.
I hope it will not become the trigger for the moral decline of the entire society as deduced in the novel. "
——"China Legal Daily"
"Director Xiao Chen successfully predicted the future. He is suspected of being a time traveler in the future. Science fiction movies reflect reality."
——"Entertainment Star Weekly"
A large number of official media reports, plus Xiao Chen Chen has a huge amount of discussion on the Internet.
This wave of popularity was so intense that in a very short period of time, it became a hot topic among the people.
“As a fan of Xiao Chen, I saw that his books can very well predict social phenomena. I think Xiao Chen is very powerful. But as a Chinese, I saw that what happened in the book really happened. , I think this is sad.”
"When something like this happens, what is written in the book should never happen again, right? Many people didn't know it before, but this time it is well-known throughout the country. At least it shouldn't be so accurate, right?"
"I think It’s too bad. Human beings will never learn a lesson.”
“Anyway, this judge is too outrageous. If something like this happens, I really won’t dare to help the old man.”
“Hey. , let’s see if relevant laws will be introduced in the future, otherwise no one will dare to do good things.”
“I only have one question. Xiao Chen has clearly written this matter in the novel. How dare any judge speak and act like this?”
When Liu Qianqian talked to Chen Linfeng on the phone at night, she inevitably talked about this matter.
She also had this question, how could there be a judge with such no common sense, and it had been written in the book before.
“When I heard about this, I felt that this person did it on purpose, it was too outrageous.”
Chen Linfeng said, “This is not surprising at all, you like to look at me I only feel this way after I have almost finished reading the novel I wrote.”
He further explained, “It’s amazing that there are tens of millions of people in China who have read my novel, but it can only account for 10% of the total. A small part of the Chinese population.
Most people have not read my novels, or have only read part of them. "Her" has the lowest sales among all my works.
That judge probably has never read my novel at all. Even if he has heard about it through other channels and knows what it is about, he cannot understand a specific passage or even a sentence in it. talk.
So it’s not surprising that this happened. "
"How can it not be surprising. "Liu Qianqian's tone was full of surprise, "In reality, according to the development of the novel you wrote, I don't know how many people's jaws will be dropped. "
She said very exaggeratedly, "Nowadays, almost everywhere we chat, the topic is about this matter.
Everyone said, no wonder you won the award. ”
Liu Qianqian looked very excited. She has always been a loyal reader of Chen Linfeng. This time she saw everyone discussing Xiao Chen’s novels, which really made her feel honored.
Chen Linfeng himself didn’t realize it. What a good thing this is.
The case of helping people has developed to this day, and it has become more involved than in the previous life.
Sister Mei returned to China specifically. Get some hard-to-find information
When she called Chen Linfeng later, she roughly talked about it.
Generally speaking, the official attitude is that it feels embarrassing.
It would be very unpleasant to say this. All writers have written in their works in advance that by criticizing the future, they will warn the present and remind society and the country not to make such mistakes.
As a result, there were also staff from the legal department who were able to step into the trap.
The people above are currently facing this public opinion, and they even don’t know how to deal with it.
It’s so special. A novel written by a writer a few years ago criticized today’s social events.
How to solve this?
Public opinion has completely spread, and there is no way to seal Yunyun's mouth.
From the perspective of the parties involved in the incident, organizational principles can be used to make the judge speak less.
The guy who helps people doesn't have any media channels, so he just needs to influence the media.
But the key is that Xiao Chen can't even hint directly to make people shut up.
Xiao Chen just won an international award, and the domestic media are waiting to interview him. If he doesn’t say something at this time, he will definitely be suspected, which will be even worse for public opinion.
And I didn’t do anything wrong, I just wrote a novel. You can’t say, “What you wrote is too accurate, don’t be so accurate in the future.”
What's more, in Chen Linfeng's novel "She", some of the deductions about social forms are already coming true.
Including some technologies such as wifi and smartphones, there has been a trend of large-scale deployment.
It also includes some social issues, such as population, and the recent assistance case.
You know, regarding the population issue, experts have mentioned this recently.
But Xiao Chen had relevant thoughts in 2003, and even wrote the future deductions in the book.
As for the case of helping others, it is even more magical. Some leaders above were a little shocked when they heard about it.
From the above point of view, this is talent, and even to a higher level, it can be said that one can think and have insights into the real ills of society. This is the prototype of a thinker.
The higher-ups still value talents.
What’s more, Xiao Chen himself has made great achievements and is a cultural business card of the country.
The news Sister Mei received was, "Xiao Chen can express more opinions in the future. Young people are full of inspiration when they are full of inspiration. Don't worry about saying the wrong thing. Comrade Xiao Chen's position is obvious to everyone. ".
She concluded, "Xiao Feng, I really treat you as a great writer, you can give your opinions to the superiors."
The leader's words sounded nice, but Chen Linfeng ignored them all.
He only has a few things in his stomach. One prophecy is enough. In the future, he will only speak in the fields of film and television and literature.
At least this is something he does understand after working hard for so long in this life.
He is so influential that many people listen to whatever he says, so he is naturally qualified as an opinion leader.
However, as long as opinion leaders overturn sooner or later, there are basically no exceptions.
Even Teacher Luo, who teaches law classes, will make ridiculous mistakes in historical knowledge and fall over.
Short, big, tight, etc., they talk a lot, but few of their points are correct.
XXX is so awesome, she understands everything until she talks about areas you are familiar with.
There are many things that are wrong.
This is something he understood very early on.
Chen Linfeng replied, "Sister Mei, it's better to take it easy and keep the previous rhythm. That's what the leader said. We have to be aware of it."
"Okay, I will listen to you. I will Find a way to send your thoughts back to the people above. "
Sister Mei felt a little regretful, and she bluntly wrote a letter to discuss national affairs. Anyone who has read books would not think so.
Xiaofeng is really tolerant. Have you ever given up drugs?
But now that Chen Linfeng has made the decision, Sister Mei will follow it.
She then asked, "Xiao Feng, when will you return to China? Many media reporters are asking me now."
"I will go back after accepting the interview with Time Magazine, probably next week."< br>
"Okay, let me answer the reporter first."
During the following period, Chen Linfeng discussed the preparations for the film with Mark, and also auditioned some beautiful Chinese actors.
In addition, I just want to meet Pete and some other close friends to deepen some connections.
Finally, various interviews are definitely indispensable.
Due to the wonderful connection between the domestic support case and "Her", and the huge discussion it triggered in China, it has also been known by overseas media.
During the interview, Chen Linfeng was also asked about this matter several times.
He doesn’t really like to show his ugliness to others, so he usually just ignores it.
However, this did not affect the incident, which gradually spread abroad.
China's influence has been increasing day by day since 2008, so this incident, along with the news that "Her" won the award, became big news in various countries in March.
At the end of March, Chen Linfeng returned to China.
