On the evening of October 23, the 12th Global Chinese Science Fiction Nebula Awards Ceremony was held at the Chongqing Grand Theatre, and in the performance of the evening's literary and artistic program, famous voice actors Jiang Guangtao and Zhao Ling performed a radio drama fragment adapted from Liu Cixin's science fiction novel "Shiyun" on the spot, while the original author Liu Cixin himself sat under the stage, Jiang Guangtao said, "I hope that my performance can satisfy Teacher Liu."
Published in March 2003 in Science Fiction World, Shi Yun is the second in Liu Cixin's "Big Art Series", which won the reader nomination award of the Chinese Science Fiction Galaxy Award of the year, and was later included in the "2003 Best Chinese Science Fiction Collection", which tells the story of the complete destruction of the earth in 2120 AD, and human beings were reduced to domestic animals raised by the devouring civilization. With the depletion of the resources of the Devouring Civilization, the human civilization is about to disappear, in order to obtain super technology, the Devouring Civilization sent emissaries to present a human poet Yi Yi to the cosmic god-level civilization Li Bai, and the future of mankind began to go unknown...
He has voiced many small actors in film and television dramas, Jiang Guangtao has also been praised by netizens and audiences as "handsome brother tone", and he has also voiced jack in "Titanic", Sam in "Transformers 2", Frodo in "The Lord of the Rings" and many other foreign blockbuster protagonists.

"I also used to accompany Liu Cixin's audiobook, but this was the first time in the form of a radio drama," said Jiang Guangtao, who said that although "Shiyun" is only more than 18,000 words, it is very story and literature, and put forward a very avant-garde view at the time: whether technology can create art.
"However, in a short period of time, using sound to fully interpret a fanciful science fiction story, such as how to express the complex multi-dimensionality in the play in language, is the biggest problem in front of us." Jiang Guangtao said.
Zhao Ling has participated in the dubbing of film and television dramas such as "Fast and Furious", "Prometheus" and "The Biography of Zhen Huan" and "Ancient Sword Qitan", which is the first time to participate in science fiction radio dramas, "In the past, dubbing role work can experience life and excavate some experience, but science fiction radio dramas can only rely entirely on imagination, such as what kind of image the god Li Bai in the play is, everyone may have their own views."
Zhao Ling
"Science fiction writers like Liu Cixin can break through the limitations of human beings and imagine the state of thought and communication of these life forms in different civilizations, and what we can do is to construct this state as perfectly as possible." Jiang Guangtao said that the evening was performed in front of Liu Cixin himself, and he was still a little nervous in his heart, "I also hope that Teacher Liu can be satisfied."
Wang Mengbi, one of the producers of the radio drama "Shiyun" and the director of the public relations department of Mao'er FM, said that Teacher Liu Cixin participated in the screenwriting and directing during the production of the radio drama, which provided the crew with many very valuable opinions. "We have been exploring how to innovate and show traditional Chinese culture, and the choice to produce the radio drama "Shiyun" is to start from the familiar poetry culture, combining poetry, sound and science fiction, these three elements that sound completely incompatible, hoping to create a poetic science fiction story."
