Chapter 337 The Number One Popular Candidate
If "I, Robot" wins the award, it will be truly remembered by the world. The double honors of winning the Hugo Award and the Nebula Award are amazing, and this is the honor it deserves!
But Lin Han also has his own selfish intentions. He wanted to see "Three-Body Problem" win the award. The Three-Body Problem was nominated for the Nebula Award in his previous life, but he failed. Fortunately, the Hugo Award was won later.
If this time it is the award of "The Three-Body Problem", then there will be a chance to win the Hugo Award at the World Science Fiction Conference held in Yanjing later, and there will also be a chance to become the eighteen classics handed down from generation to generation!
Invisibly, "Jurassic Park", the work with the highest commercial value, became the stepmother and was directly abandoned by Lin Han.
Lin Han was lying in bed repeatedly and couldn't sleep at all. He simply opened his mobile phone and downloaded his two competitors' novels in the online bookstore to see what amazing things were.
Only by knowing oneself and an enemy can one win every battle. Both works have not been translated into Chinese yet, so he had to switch to the Amazon Bookstore in the United States and spend $30 to buy books.
After paying for download, he stared at his phone and looked at it seriously until dawn broke out in the sky...
These American writers often use some slang when writing. Large paragraphs of English are actually quite troublesome. Lin Han is not omnipotent. When you encounter certain words you don’t recognize, you will skip them directly. Anyway, this will not affect reading.
Before he knew it, the whole night passed by. When the alarm clock of his mobile phone rang, Lin Han was completely confused!
"Why is it dawn before I go to bed?"
He rubbed his eyes, and the battery life of his phone was only 5%. After connecting the charger, he went to the bathroom and looked in the mirror.
Lin Han found that the face in the mirror looked very tired, his eyes were covered with bloodshot, and there were also faint dark circles!
Fortunately, everyone slept a little late last night, so no one came to knock on the door at 9 o'clock in the morning. Just as Lin Han was about to take a nap and recover, his cell phone rang.
Holding his cell phone in a daze, he said, "Hey?"
"Dear, I didn't see your text message last night. The Nebula Award nomination was announced. Do you want to say something online?" Chen Jiaxuan slept soundly and called Lin Han early in the morning.
Lin Han yawned, and his tears were almost flowing out, and he was so sleepy.
"It's just a nomination, there's no need to make a fuss. It should have been reported now. Please let the studio guide everyone, don't let them feel that the prize is guaranteed and keep it to a certain level."
"It sounds like you haven't woken up yet. You've been out for a few laps at home. Why are you so sleepy?"
"Oh, it was already late last night, and I was a little excited to see my nomination, so I went to study the novels of my competitors, and I suddenly saw the present."
After saying that, Lin Han yawned again. He was a little tired when he drove to the observation station here yesterday, and he stayed up all night.
Chen Jiaxuan said with concern: "Then I won't say it anymore. Take the time to take a break, so you can take a look and calculate for a while."
"Okay, I'll tell you in detail when I come back, bye."
After hanging up the phone, Lin Han covered the quilt on his head and then fell asleep.
...
The news that Lin Han was shortlisted for the Nebula Award last night was already mentioned sporadically. After many major foreign media reported this morning, domestic media came late and spent a lot of time reporting on this matter.
"Lin Han was strongly shortlisted for the Nebula Award and won four nominations in the record!"
"I, Robot is expected to win the Hugo Award and the Nebula Award, just one step away from the classic!"
"This year's only double award nomination, Lin Han's works are infighting, and many works are not nominated for awards!"
"The Light of Chinese Science Fiction, Nominations for One and Three Awards, "Three Bodybuilding", "Jurassic Park", "I, Robot"?"
"The Nebula Award nomination was announced, and Chinese science fiction writer Lin Han became the biggest winner, and was shortlisted for the best long and best short story, with four nominations in total. The award ceremony will be held in Chicago in mid-May. It is reported that this is the first time that Asian science fiction novels have been shortlisted for the Nebula Award, and Lin Han can be regarded as a national hero!"
"The missing Nebula Award nomination for "Three Body 2: Dark Forest", the editor explains the whole story of Nebula Award for you in detail"
"The list of nominations for the Nebula Awards was announced on the official website last night. There are many wonderful novels that make you confused. Now you only need $80 to pack and download all the nominated novels!"
"Good news! Lin Han won the world's authoritative award, Nebula Award, again after the Hugo Award!"
The media reports were visible to netizens, and even some newspapers put the news from the middle of the night on the page, bombing these ordinary people in full swing.
For Lin Han's readers, they are both surprised, joyful, and indifferent, as if it is natural for Lin Han to be nominated.
"Teacher Lin is so amazing, but newcomers are looking for popular science. Is this Nebula Award very good? I saw that many domestic science fiction writers have won it. As for the report so well?"
"Upstairs, what you should be talking about is the Global Chinese Science Fiction Nebula Award. It seems to be a pheasant award. It has only been established for a few years and has little influence. This is as famous as the Hugo Award and is the most authoritative fantasy award in the world!"
"I'm so happy. Not only readers like it in Europe and the United States, but the authors also like Lin Da's works. Good works are indeed global."
"Kneel to Teacher Lin! Just take action and record it, and just create history. I'm very happy to witness Teacher Lin create history step by step. I hope there will be a live broadcast on the award ceremony!"
"I'm happy no matter which of those three works won the award. I like all of Teacher Lin's works!"
"Aoaoaoaoaoaoaoao, what's the point of getting a nomination? Teacher Lin quickly updates the "Galaxy Wandering Guide". I can't wait!"
"It's great to be a fan of Teacher Lin. There will be surprises at any time, and you will have confidence to go out to fight."
...
#Lin Han won the Nebula Award nomination and #Lin Han broke the record, and there were separate #Nebula Awards on Weibo and several topics soaring rapidly. Many people are actively popularizing what the award is. Only some sarcastic people don’t like these.
"Isn't it just a garbage prize? If you have the ability to win a Nobel Prize in Literature, you will buy hot searches. A little writer is on Weibo every day. I really feel like hesitating when I read the hot searches!"
"I heard that this award can be bought with money, right? The Chinese people like to make such a blind name when Lin Han spent a lot of money to buy it."
"It's great to write books honestly. I just want to do these ghosts. Who cares about the Nebula Award? Lin Han's science fiction novels are not good at all. They only write all kinds of exaggerated things. The characters are shaped into zero, the plot is almost none, the result is loose, and they pretend to be profound."
"Does I just don't like Lin Han's novels? I don't understand how he, a man who made bad movies, went to write novels. There are so many brainless fans who like it, it's really inexplicable."
"Lin Han spends money on the list and buys nominations. The royalties you earn from the brainless fans will not be all spent on it, right?"
"The Nebula Award is not very valuable. Why do you want to participate in the American Award? Is it a change of nationality if you are just a Chinese?
"Get out and look for your American father. You don't even look down on domestic awards. You have the stinking feet that win foreign awards. You have the ability and don't sell them in China! You are a stolen dog who admires foreign countries and fascinates foreign countries!"
This is what Heizi is like. There is no reason to be black, and there is a reason to be black. No matter what the truth is, I just don’t like Lin Han anyway, and I don’t care whether there is any logic in my words. I will blacken it first!
People can wake up a sleeping lion, but they can't. These keyboard warriors are called online policemen and model models of online morality. They can be traced wherever there is news.
They are good at creating online violence. They are often used to mock others, insult, spread rumors, and slander. After being exposed, they will turn from keyboard warriors into mad dogs and bite them everywhere.
People who have been hanging online for a long time can basically identify keyboard warriors to a greater or lesser extent, and they will be skeptical about what they say.
In fact, Lin Han’s nomination for the Nebula Award was the author circle that shocked the most. Even if Lin Han won the Hugo Award for the first time, there was no such big noise!
Because the Hugo Award is actually a popularity award, its votes come from readers of the World Science Fiction Conference, and the number of author votes is far less than that of readers. What readers value more the popularity of the novel, so it is more readable. The works that won the Hugo Award are basically better.
The Nebula Award is an internal award in the science fiction circle, selected by the author and commentators. It is possible that the evaluations in the circle are very appreciated, but readers may not think that this movie is good, and sometimes some incredible works will be selected!
One is the popularity award and the other is the excellence award, which is probably the case.
In the past, domestic writers could still deceive themselves and say that Lin Han's science fiction novels were just liked by readers, and they specifically catered to readers' tastes and lost the essence of science fiction literature. Now even the European and American science fiction circles recognize the excellence of Lin Han's works, otherwise they would not have given all three nominations for the best novel to Lin Han!
These nominations require ten writers to recommend, that is to say, support. There are many European and American writers who like Lin Han. If a yellow person can do this in the white science fiction circle, it is not something that can be done online by slandering money. This is completely made by Lin Han using wonderful science fiction novels!
"Do you think Lin Han has a chance to win the award? Those Americans really can award the Nebula Award to Lin Han?" In the writers' chat group, the fantasy writer who was watching the fun said curiously, "It would be great if my novel could get a nomination."
Popular writer Cao Yulei replied: "Anyway, Lin Han is in a very bad situation now. This kind of discrimination against nationality, language, and race cannot be offset by a few works. If Lin Han only got one nomination, I think he has a great chance of winning the award. But now there are so many nominations for one award, leaving no choices for writers who don't like Lin Han's novels, so it is easy to concentrate the votes. Those who like Lin Han will be divided into votes, choose one of three, and each book is so wonderful."
"I don't know about the Nebula Award, but I know that the rest of the awards who won three nominations at the same time all ended up losing a crushing defeat!"
"What a pity, Lin Han helped us get some breath. If only we could go further."
"To be honest, the form of science fiction is getting better and better now, and I have to rely on Lin Han's guidance. I have signed a contract with the publishing house and I have to hand over my new book manuscript before May. It's hard science fiction!"
"This kid Lin Han is really good. Our sales are not as good as others, and even the awards are not as good as him. Young people today cannot underestimate them!"
"It seems that Lin Han is from 1990. He has won so many honors at the age of only a few years. It's okay to say he is a genius."
"When will we classify a person like this."
"If Lin Hanken helps me recommend a new book, there is no need to worry about sales."
"Don't think about it. The only book he has recommended since Lin Han's debut is Li Wenyuan's book "Breaking Out of the Milky Way". The relationship between them is not something you can compare with."
"I'll tell you a little bit about it. My buddy was also a science fiction novel published by Renmin University Press before. Originally, their editor wanted to write a science fiction master Lin Han strongly recommended on the cover of my buddy, but Lin Han rejected it. Nowadays, no one's physical books are allowed to ask a few great masters to recommend it. Who would actually read that book is not the publisher's idea."
"Speaking of this, Lin Han rarely appears in our writers group. I have nearly ten groups, but none of them have him. Is he too arrogant, or what?"
"Who are more optimistic about who can win the Nebula Award?"
At this time, a writer threw out screenshots from European and American Bocai.com. It seemed that everything could be favored by Bocai.com. On this real-time compensation rate table, Lin Han actually led the way with 1 compensation of 3.5!
Bocai companies did not give odds at will. They must have investigated and studied them. The odds rate was almost the lowest, which means they believed that Lin Han was the most promising to win the Nebula Award!
The other two candidates, An Lek, lost 10.8 by 1, and Lawrence Northwick, lost 15 by 1. They are not as good as Lin Han, who is absolutely popular this time!
The gap is so obvious that the Bocai Company even wanted to reduce Lin Han's compensation rate. Half an hour passed, and Lin Han became 1 and 2.5. It must be that Lin Han had some good news.
Sure enough, according to the statistics of Lous Magazine website, Lin Han's novel "I, Robot" has been included in all the best science fiction works of the year 11 times, which is the most frequent among all books. In addition, "Jurassic Park" 9 times and "Three-Body Problem" follows closely behind 7 times. This is not what a professional magazine commented like. If a professional may misjudgment, then have so many professionals misjudgmented?
This is not the case. After the list of Nebula Awards was announced, European and American book critics began to give their opinions on this list. No one seemed to think that there was anything wrong with Lin Han winning so many nominations. Instead, they felt that the award should have been given to Lin Han, and there should be no suspense!
Chapter completed!
