Chapter 174
It was different from the moment he won the award. Now Lin Han is holding the trophy in his hand. He sighed slightly: "Tonight is a historic night. There are two non-English works selected here, but this is today the first non-English best novel in the history of the Hugo Awards. Everyone knows how difficult it is to enter the US market. I am very glad that I have done this."
How enthusiastic was the applause from thousands of people? Not everyone could feel this scene in person. The audience in the audience stood up to applaud the young winner. The applause after wave did not stop. Compared with other novels, "I, Robot" is indeed of more than a better quality.
"First of all, I would like to thank the readers of this book. There are already enough excellent works in the English world, and most foreign works have no chance to be translated into English. Just like most books, this book embodies the hard work of many people, and it is a very gratifying thing to see it shine."
Lin Han silently thanked Asimov, the original writer in his heart. Science fiction novels on earth can still win the love of readers.
After the most popular awards were awarded, domestic websites, forums, and micro-Blogs almost became a sea of joy. Whether it was Lin Han’s readers or not, this kind of bond between compatriots made netizens forget to sarcasm and disputes, and kept sighing.
The athletes won awards at the Olympics to win glory for the country, and the writers won awards at authoritative foreign awards are also to win glory for the country. The first Asian award was heavy on Lin Han's shoulders, and he took all the pressure off!
Lin Han's acceptance speech was not over yet. He said, "As a science fiction fan, I have read many Hugo Award-winning works, some of which have been translated and published in China, while some can only read hiking. For me, the Hugo Award seems too far away. I was immersed in the joy of winning the Galaxy Award a few months ago.
In China, many readers like science fiction novels. They are eager to meet so many science fiction masters. If the city is held in Yanjing next year, it will be a huge surprise. Thank you everyone!”
This fulfilled Lin Han's promise. He canvassed votes for Yanjing on the highest stage of the Hugo Awards. After the award ceremony, the on-site voting session will be held, and everything will be left to fate.
Few people won two trophies at the same Hugo Awards, but now Lin Han has done it! The reporters can't wait to get an interview in the photo area.
Lin Han’s handsome photo was quickly posted on the Internet by reporters. This young and energetic photo quickly swept across the Internet. He could make a living by his face, but he had to rely on his talent!
After finishing all kinds of photo activities, Lin Han kept following the people who came to congratulate him and shook hands with a smile. He felt that his facial muscles were about to cramp.
The originally arrogant members of the Puppy Gang left in shame. Lin Han has not found anyone at all. He originally wanted to invite Robin to touch the trophy, but now he has to give up.
When he returned to the hotel, Lin Han didn't even have to change his clothes, so he just lay on the sofa and gasped. His social interaction after winning the award became even more tiring.
After he took a break, he held the trophy in his arms, then took a selfie and posted it on Weibo: "Thank you for your concern, I scored twice today! I finally won the Nobel Prize in Literature and Oscar in the science fiction world. I am still a little worried that the trophy will be taken back."
He did not say anything big, but shared his feelings completely.
Lin Han originally wanted to ask how the results of the bidding for the country after the award ceremony were, but now he refreshed the Weibo and saw the good news.
This may be the most dreamy day for Chinese science fiction readers. Lin Han not only brought the Hugo Award back to China, but also brought the right to host the World Science Fiction Conference!
It is something that many people dream of participating in this event at their doorstep next year!
This photo was quickly occupied by excited science fiction enthusiasts, many of whom did not like Lin Han very much, but they were united to celebrate at this time.
From the science fiction pest in the world that everyone once chased and scolded to the current hero of Chinese science fiction, Lin Han has been accompanied by flowers, applause and thorns along the way. He slowly naturalized those netizens who did not like him to his side and slowly reversed their ideas.
Nowadays, whenever science fiction is mentioned, the name Lin Han is a hurdle that cannot be overcome. Today, many people have found that their WeChat Moments have been flooded with the screen before they get up, and the cheers of Chinese people almost occupy the entire page.
Many readers who are usually low-key don’t care about it at this time and cheer all kinds of people. Originally, many people thought this robot novel was meaningless, but after winning the Hugo Award, they completely inspired their actions to take a look again.
Have you read "I, Robot"? If you haven't read it, it's out of date!
Which young man doesn’t show off his feelings in his circle of friends? However, this novel is not their youth, because it has just been published less than a year.
In any case, this is an important step for Chinese science fiction novels to enter the world. After reading them, it seems that they have been baptized for centuries.
Even some Internet giants have begun to favor this science fiction novel, as if they don’t like “I, Robot”, just because they are not a geek!
Zhou Weihong, chairman of China 720 Company, is a hard-core science fiction fan. When these two novels were first launched, he had already posted his book on Weibo.
After "I, Robot" and "Martian Rescue" won awards and nominations, he was the happiest thing. He even revealed through Weibo that he successfully won a role in "Martian Rescue" through Chang'e Pictures. It was amazing that a chairman was so addicted to science fiction novels.
Mr. Ma Huateng, the founder of Tencent, also expressed his congratulations to "I, Robot" on Weibo, and also posted two different signature versions in Chinese and English.
In addition, Lei Jun, the founder of the Chinese mobile phone brand Rice, also expressed his love for "I, Robot" on Weibo. He wrote: "I, Robot" is not only a science fiction novel, but also a philosophy book in essence, but also has commercial value. Our rice company is considering making robots. Perhaps one day a robot nanny will appear around you!"
The Internet tycoons admire "I, Robot" so much, and simply regard it as the "Bible" of the Internet.
