Chapter 262 Literary Superstar
Although Chen Jiaxuan did not come to the award ceremony, she was sitting on her sofa at this moment, putting her iPad on her knees to watch the live broadcast.
Although the award was announced in advance and there was no suspense, looking at the netizens' waves of praise and the simplified award speech, it seemed that all the hard work was worth it.
She is not a competent literary agent and has never taken the initiative to develop Lin Han's personal image. She indulged Lin Han so lazy that even other recognized great writers had to participate in many activities.
Under the catalysis of capital, the attractiveness of literary IP development far exceeds traditional cognition. Chen Jiaxuan rejected big bosses and made large investments more than once, just because Lin Han wanted to choose a better partner.
She knew that Lin Han valued the copyright conversion of these novels very much, and would rather not develop them for the time being than develop them randomly. Everything is a continuous attitude of striving for excellence.
The energetic young man on the screen was returning to his table from the stage. Lin Han played with the trophy carefully and then started chatting with the people around him.
In the first year of writing, I was able to attend the annual meeting hosted by the General Administration of Press and Publication, and I also won the first award. This is the best rookie, but it is a pity that there is no such award setting for the award ceremony.
The most popular writer of the year and the most popular work are both popular awards. This award does not depend on the content of the novel, but on the writer and fans of the works. Therefore, some niche works often stand out from the dark horse.
Lin Han was completely relieved at this time. He knew that he could not ask for too much. Most people would return empty-handed next year, and at least he could have a trophy to comfort him.
"So have you guessed the most popular book of the year this time? There are five books in total, I hope you have a chance."
"Not yet, there is no vote count in voting, and there is no sign of it at all. Once I remember that after the voting results came out, the organizing committee temporarily invited two writers. Then everyone knew that they must have won the prize, but they were not qualified to attend the annual meeting before."
Several people on this table are regular visitors to the writers' annual meeting. They know all about the interesting things. Lin Han's eyes were blind. His understanding was limited to the information he searched online, and there was no insider.
So Lin Han asked, "Are there any temporary writers invited this year?"
Chen Yujian, a writer who has been silent, suddenly shook his head, "Most writers will mention a few words to their friends, but they have not seen the news of receiving the invitation on the Internet for the time being. This may be confidential or not."
“Everyone has a chance.”
While speaking, CCTV famous speakers began to introduce on the stage again: "Be the art that the people like, come from the masses to the masses. Books and works are all for the whole society. What kind of works are easy to be favored by readers? The most popular works of the year are selected by more than 20 million readers. They are of different ages, varying regions, and have different educational levels and interests. Now we are about to reveal the final result to you, please look at the big screen!"
No book really kills all readers. Even the four masterpieces like "Journey to the West" don't like to read, let alone other types of works.
The produced short films immediately started to be played on the huge screen. The passionate background music, pictures and broadcasting cavity instantly made the writers' hearts feel aroused.
This is not only their personal honor, but also the result of the unity of readers of the work. Everyone is eager to win the award in surprise.
"Favored by 980,000 readers, the most hotly discussed inspirational reading this year, writer Han Tong used warm strokes to describe the confusion and struggle of youth, and gave the restless, confused and confused young people in the city. If you can't make you think deeply, then try to make you smile. If you and I record the details of youth growth every day and stare at your own growth all the time, then we may be different. "Let Youth No longer Confused" is the most surprising book."
Although Lin Han has never read this inspirational reading, his name is often found on the Internet. He does a very good job in online marketing. Although some people like and some hate it, his sales have always remained high. His rankings were occasionally higher than his science fiction novels.
Compared with popularity, this type of youth literature is probably the most powerful, and it is difficult for the most mature readers to participate in such a vote.
According to the analysis of the people at the table next to you, these popular awards are specially used to reward popular novel writers. The subsequent masterpieces of the year have little to do with popular novel writers.
Lin Han was both relieved and nervous as the first most popular work was revealed.
Maybe his ranking will be higher, but will he have to have his own place for the remaining four places? The lowest number of votes is 980,000 votes, and the remaining one must have exceeded one million, so he began to worry.
The colorful barrage has been completely boiling. A small number of viewers are posting barrage to celebrate the award of their favorite novels, while most barrage think this should be considered a dark horse. Why are the works they support not awarded?
Some people even directly said the words "shady" which of course attracted the approval of some people who didn't know the truth. Any work they didn't like was "shady".
There were applause from congratulations. Lin Han did not know the writer named Han Tong, but suddenly a table of people was boiling behind him. A fat middle-aged man stood up from the chair excitedly and hugged his friends around him. This was probably clear.
Time waits for no one. When Han Tong is still immersed in excitement, the second work is quietly revealed.
"The number of votes in this work is very strange, because more than 40% of the 1.03 million votes were voted overseas, which is the highest proportion of all award-winning works. It proves that the works written by our writers can also be loved by foreigners. "I, Robot" from Lin Han created the history of Chinese science fiction and even Asian science fiction novels. The first overseas sales list won the championship and won the Hugo Award for the first time, which contributed too many firsts. Among them, the "Three Laws of Robots" was listed as the biggest surprise of the year by Science magazine!"
Unintentionally planting willows and willows, Lin Han never expected that he would win the award. However, the winning work was not "The Three-Body Problem" but the "I, Robot", which first made him famous.
There is no wall in this world. Whether it is to visit foreign websites in China or foreign websites, it is very fast. It allows readers around the world to use translation software to support this vote. Lin Han said it is fake not to be moved.
But he had already won the award now, so he just grinned and didn't jump up. His smile was a surprise.
For fans of the Hanlin Academy, they are in a bit complicated at this moment. The "Three-Body Problem" that was originally high-profile, but the "I, Robot" abandoned by them made a counterattack with the strong support of overseas legions.
Wu Yufan sighed, and turned his head to his friend and said, "Although it is a bit biased, it is always good to win the award. Let's go to the forum to post to congratulate you later."
"Fortunately, there are foreign readers who help me, otherwise we would be far from relying on us alone, so it's so lingering!" Zhu Yunxiao patted his chest, and he was still scared.
Most of Lin Han’s readers have similar ideas in their hearts. Thanks to those overseas readers who do good deeds without leaving their names, and to those volunteers who are tirelessly promoting on Twitter, Facebook and even SF forums.
At the annual meeting, Zhou Ming whispered: "Xiaolin, you have a group of good readers. Overseas readers have such a good foundation. If the novel is remade into a movie, there will be a basic guarantee for overseas box offices."
"This is not easy to shoot. "I, Robot" is a collection of nine short stories. Although it is related as a whole, it is very difficult to shoot if it is integrated together. You can only shoot one of them, and the storyline is very thin."
To be honest, Lin Han once watched a science fiction movie "I, Robot" starring Will Smith on Earth. This science fiction film swept nearly $400 million in the box office around the world and achieved good results.
Even though it claims to be adapted from the novel "I, Robot", and is shrouded in the halo of "Three Laws of Robots", it is actually scolded by science fiction novel fans.
This movie uses three major laws to set up an airtight. In fact, it has nothing to do with the content in the novel. It is entirely borrowed from the name of the novel. It is not adapted based on the novel, but is influenced by the novel.
This is purely for commercial value promotion. Lin Han believes that this is a good movie, but it is not suitable for the name "I, Robot". It is more appropriate to change the name.
Zhou Ming also read the novel that was a hot topic on the Internet some time ago. He agreed: "This is indeed a dilemma. No wonder it became famous first, but the movie adapted was two other novels."
As a screenwriter, he can understand the difficulty of this.
There was still applause for Lin Han's award this time, and there were also many inquiry eyes. The proportion of overseas voting was too high, so it was hard to believe whether it was true.
"Damn, why did he be so lucky? He fooled foreign readers to vote for him."
"I know if I'm using a foreign IP address to swipe tickets. If the award qualification is cancelled at that time, it will be funny."
"I always feel that there is something wrong with it, so I won't comment for it now, so I won't be slapped in the face."
"There's a big deal. "I, Robot" has surpassed its sales in overseas markets several streets, okay? You have no idea how popular Lin Han's science fiction novel is abroad. I'll give you popular science tomorrow."
"I feel sorry for Qianqian, but I was actually dragged down by a science fiction novel."
...
Whether you believe it or don’t believe it, you can only admit this fact, and Lin Han is going to win the award again.
However, the ones behind have not been announced yet, so Lin Han could only sit on a chair and go on stage to receive the award together later.
Now that a big stone in my heart has finally come to the ground, Lin Han can basically lean on the back of the chair and be a spectator. He won the double awards of the most popular writer and work in such a high-profile manner, which also made the media reporters very happy, and there is a topic for tomorrow.
Some online media even start editing and publishing news at the moment of announcement, which is much faster than print and television news.
Of course, these media reporters may have written manuscripts long ago, and now they can just add a little key data temporarily. They often do this.
"The most touching novel, what will you do when your life is only ten days left? 1.21 million readers feel that "Passing by the World" makes them think deeply about life..."
"1.33 million readers choose their favorites as "Meet the Best Self"..."
The short film continues to be introduced, and the live writers, media reporters and even the audience in front of the computer screen held their breath. They wanted to see who the work that won the first place was, which was a bit suspenseful.
"Why am I having no clue at all? Which book is it?" a writer muttered softly. He had no hope for his book, but it did not prevent him from guessing the rest.
"Will it be "Rampage History" or "Pippilu"? I think it might be a children's book."
"I think the chances of "Dragon Clan" are relatively high, and teenagers like to watch it very much."
"Have you ever thought about "The Great Qin Empire"?"
Lin Han touched his chin and thought about who it was.
The buzzing sound at the scene gradually expanded, and the big screen also revealed the suspense at this time!
Before the video could make a sound, Lin Han stared at the poster and cover appearing on the big screen, and was extremely familiar with it!
"Is it that I was so confused?"
Before Lin Han could speak, Zhou Ming, who was on the other hand, rubbed his eyes with his hands, as if he couldn't believe his eyes.
There were other people who were acting the same as Zhou Ming. They all looked at the big screen in amazement, and the two big characters "Three Body" appeared on it, which was simply more conspicuous.
Just now, when Lin Han was thinking about the first place, he directly eliminated himself. He had never heard of a writer who had two works on them in the same year. This was simply a fantasy!
"The Three-Body Problem tells the story of human beings before aliens arrive. It combines history and science fiction with sharp brushstrokes, which makes people eye-open. 1.5 million readers choose together, and this is the moment that belongs to Lin Han!"
Lin Han took a deep breath and his head was blank. He had never thought of winning the award, but now it has become a surprise again. Too many things appeared in his mind.
This is the first time in decades when the writers' annual meeting was held. Lin Han set a record again, and it completely detonated the audience in just twenty minutes of the opening.
The most popular work of the year actually won two seats, which made every writer unbelievable, but it happened just like that.
Chapter completed!
