Chapter 388 Nebula Award, Tu Ying destroys the United States!
After hurriedly borrowing a few books from the library, Lin Han returned to his home without stopping. Although it would be broadcast live tomorrow morning, he had to go back tonight to organize the study and test whether the video recording function could be used.
When the Nebula Awards, the science fiction industry event was held, he would not go to the scene. After all, the journey was long and there were very few people he knew, so it was troublesome to deal with.
Fortunately, he usually stayed in the study, so he quickly sorted out his own things and even set an alarm clock tomorrow morning, at least one hour in advance to get up for breakfast and wash up!
With the popularity of science fiction literature in China, people have also begun to care about some gossip in the science fiction world. We must pay attention to major events like the Nebula Award.
Even if the award ceremony is in the morning, there are video websites that have bought the live video broadcast rights, and some other media have also warmed up to ensure that those viewers on the way to work and school can see the live video broadcast!
The American Society of Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers has also posted a list of writers participating in the conference this year on Facebook, and there are even some Hollywood superstars and film producers.
As the screenwriter's thinking is exhausted, more and more filmmakers have put their ideas on these excellent science fiction. With a little adaptation, they can become a big-name science fiction blockbuster, so they are exhibiting with their past works while looking for potential projects.
Phoenix Reading was the first to kick off Lin Han’s campaign: “In less than 12 hours, the annual Nebula Award will be announced in Chicago, USA. In the nomination of this year’s Nebula Award, Lin Han became a popular hit, and received a total of four nominations, including three works with the best long and three works at the same time, setting a new record in the history of Nebula Awards! Previously, a single award was nominated for at least two works under the same writer’s name, and the chance of winning rose. Which work do you most like to top? Now leave a message and predict that the correct friend will receive a gift package for the complete works of Lin Han, with 50 people in the quota!”
Now a book costs dozens of dollars, and a set of books costs even hundreds of dollars. Although Lin Han’s loyal fans basically have his own, it would not be too small if it was collected or given to others!
This is a prediction for everyone. Even if you don’t look at Lin Han, you can predict with your fingers and you will have the possibility of winning the award, so almost everyone who sees it turns it around.
Lin Han’s loyalists naturally hoped that he could win the award smoothly, and some people who specialized in sing the opposite tune also took the opportunity to jump out, not to mention a group of rational analytical parties, who began to analyze victory or defeat from the preferences of the judges over the years!
Among the two awards that Lin Han was shortlisted, the best novel is the main object of everyone's attention, "Three Body"
》, "Jurassic Park", "I, Robot" teamed up to fight against two American writers!
These are all works made last year, and this year's ones will not be involved, so "Inception" and other works will only be involved next year.
These three books are extremely excellent, and it is possible to choose any one, but their opponents are also strong!
It is a science fiction "The Justice of the servant" and a fantasy work "Rises Up". It happens that these two writers are both white Americans. They have won the Nebula Award before, and have all had various off-site factors such as Lin Han.
Originally, they were not dominant in these cases and had to be shrouded in the crisis of vote-sharing. Although netizens were optimistic this time, they believed that Lin Han would definitely win, but they still haven't known what exactly.
"The Last Earthman", which has won the Hugo Award for Best Short Story, is still favored by the Nebula Award jury this time, which is recognized as the most likely work to win!
"From the perspective that the judges like, I think it is "I, Robot"! This book is quite literary and fully proposes the three laws of robots. The most important thing is that this book is based on the American background!"
"The Nebula Award should consider the Hugo Award? "I, Robot" has won the Hugo Award for Best Feature. If I can win the Nebula Award, it will become the first Hugo Nebula Double Award work in the century, which is very memorable!"
"To be honest, I think Lin Han is unlikely to win the award. I studied many award ceremony at home and abroad. Anyone with double nominations or even three nominations basically lost. Chow Yun-chan and Sammi Cheng were both shortlisted for three movies at the Academy Awards, and they are optimistic about the two American writers. If I want to guess, I will choose that science fiction!"
"Three insurances are not reliable either. No matter what, I hope that "Three-Body Problem" will win the award. After all, this is based on domestic background, but it is a bit regretful that "Dark Forest" failed to be shortlisted."
"Do I think Jurassic Park has the greatest chance to win the award? This is the big Hollywood producer Paramount spent a huge amount of money on movies and amusement parks. Paramount must have gone to public relations! After all, if you win this award, you can save a lot of publicity expenses."
"Justice, the quality of "Jurassic Park" is not bad. This is not to win with science fiction ideas, but to win with the excitement of the plot. It is more like an adventure, returning to the essence, not to popular science!"
"Will you get a double yolk egg? It's best if Lin Han won all three works, I'm just daydreaming."
"No matter whether you can win the award or not, Lin Han is the most powerful science fiction writer. Those books written by foreign writers can't be read at all!"
"Support Lin Han, support all of Lin Da!"
Some writers were also asked about their predictions about the Nebula Awards ceremony when attending the event. They had different opinions, but basically they all vaguely revealed that they were not optimistic about Lin Han.
The largest online lottery website in the United States also released its own compensation rate table at this time. In terms of the compensation rate this time, Lin Han's three books ranked last!
The first place is "The Justice of the Servant", with a penalty rate of 1:4.
The second place is "Rounds", and its odds are almost the same, but as a fantasy, it may be biased, only 1:!
The third place is "Jurassic Park" and "I, Robot". Their losses are exactly the same, and it is temporarily 1:8.8o, which proves that the lottery companies are not optimistic about their top spots. It is already a great thing to be able to win the nomination in thousands of books!
"The Three-Body Problem" is at the bottom without any suspense. The odds of 1: are actually not too far from the previous one. There is no absolute popularity or absolute unpopularity.
It is unknown how the Bocai company determines the odds. Anyway, only netizens will believe that Lin Han can win the prize, and the rest are suspicious!
...
Early the next morning, before Lin Han's alarm clock rang, Chen Jiaxuan, who was sleeping beside him, had already sat up from the bed and began to shake his body desperately.
"Lin Han, wake up quickly, wake up quickly!"
At six o'clock, Yanjing had actually entered the daytime. The sun came out early in summer, but Chen Jiaxuan had always been sleeping in, but today it was abnormal.
"My alarm clock hasn't sounded yet, so let's sleep for a while." Lin Han said in a muffled voice. He put his phone back on the bedside table. The award ceremony started at 8 o'clock, and he was just an audience member.
Chen Jiaxuan walked to the window wearing her nightgown. She pulled the curtains hard and the air conditioner that had been running all night long took advantage of this opportunity to have a good rest.
The cool and fresh air blew in from the window. Chen Jiaxuan smiled and said, "You will tell you the awards online later. You have to get up and have breakfast to make a styling. Get up quickly, I sacrificed my beauty sleep time. Besides, the stylist, makeup artist and the staff responsible for live broadcast connections will come to debug the equipment at 7 o'clock."
Lin Han climbed up from the bed with his upper body. He yawned, then scratched his somewhat fluffy head, and said helplessly: "Okay OK, okay, I'll go take a shower first, I won't go out for a run today."
After the two of them used bread, milk and peanut butter to deal with breakfast at home, the staff arrived as scheduled. After Lin Han put on his shirt, he turned on the TV and started using it to connect to the live broadcast on the Internet!
At this time, Chicago had entered the night. When Lin Han turned on the TV, he was broadcasting the second half of the red carpet. He almost didn't know any of these writers or screenwriters, but when they talked about their works, they were really famous.
Any bald old man who appears may have written a science fiction classic. Nowadays, writers are aging. If there is no explanation, who knows what this is written!
Not in the world, but his name is circulating in the world.
This is about Lin Han. Even though he did not go to the award ceremony, the red carpet commentator did not forget this young writer from the other side of the ocean. Almost a few people asked about the predictions about the winner of the Best Long Award.
This is also the most suspenseful time of the entire award ceremony. Readers from different countries are looking forward to the answer to the mystery!
At about eight o'clock, the live broadcast signal finally switched from the red carpet to the theater. The gathering of writers, screenwriters and related industry players were all dressed up in formal clothes and looked extremely formal.
Jimmy Canmore, the talk show host who has hosted many award ceremony such as the Oscars, Golden Globes, Emmys, etc. He is the famous host of "Jimmy Chicken Feather Show"!
As soon as Jimmy stepped onto the stage, he started to joke with the works with these live writers. Without the help of the post-subtitle group, it was very difficult for domestic audiences to understand their funny points.
The Nebula Award, known as the Oscar of the fantasy world, began with anticipation. The first good show tonight was staged directly without too many troubles!
There are only six awards in the Nebula Award, namely, long, medium and short, short, best script award and science fiction and fantasy newcomer award.
The best short story is the first. On the nomination list of this award, the odds of "The Last Earthman", which once won the Hugo Award for Best Short Story, is almost the best. It is favored by almost everyone at home and abroad, with a penalty rate of only 1:2.1o!
Lin Han's heart, which was already a little relaxed, suddenly hung high. Who would have thought that the stimulation would come so quickly? He stared at the TV screen in a daze, and his palms began to sweat.
The person in charge of the award was actually the famous Hollywood actor Will Smith. This black actor with a very good audience began to look with the envelope in his hand!
Competing with "The Last Earthling" are the fantasy "Please Give Me a Cat Picture", the science fiction "Destruction", "When Your Child Deviates from God" and "Today I Am Paul". Among these works, Lin Han has the least number of words and the highest reputation.
"The winner of the Nebula Award is..."
Will Smith tore open the envelope, he deliberately dragged his tone, looked at the title of the book inside the envelope and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, which swelled everyone's curiosity!
At this time, Lin Han fans on the Internet were all nervous. Not only did they say that their heartbeats were beating, but even the barrage hands couldn't help but tremble. They beg Shi Huang to show mercy.
The atmosphere at the scene was almost reached, and Will Smith also stopped when he saw the good news: "The winner is "The Last Earthman"! I really want to know who was knocking outside the door and what kind of story will he meet after opening the door. Congratulations to this writer from the mysterious East, and congratulations to Lin Han!"
After hearing that he won the award, Lin Han couldn't help but hammer the sand with his hand and stood up excitedly. These twenty words had won one honor after another, and were continued by countless talented netizens. Now he has finally achieved his achievements.
"Lin Han, don't be excited, sit down, we're about to have a video link with the scene!" The staff pointed the camera at Lin Han, ready to enter the award speech!
After hearing this familiar name, fans were even more excited to start sweeping the screen with barrage. Although it was the first to be awarded, this was the first work to win the Nebula Award and Hugo Award since the new century. It has become the 19th double-win award work after 18 science fiction classics in history, and is destined to be recorded in history!
Such an exciting glory was created by the Chinese, how can you not be excited?
Alex, the editor of Penguin Publishing House, came on stage to help Lin Han receive the award, but he didn't say much. Instead, the large screen on the scene began to light up and the surrounding lights gradually dimmed.
Suddenly, Lin Han's figure sitting on a chair appeared from the big screen. He waved to the camera and started talking!
"Hello, everyone! I'm Lin Han. I'm sorry that I couldn't come to Chicago because of work. It's a rare honor to win this Best Short Story Award today. I'm very glad that I found the content I like, and I will continue to stick to it. Thank you everyone! By the way, I'm watching the live video broadcast, and I really didn't expect to have the opportunity to present the award speech."
Lin Han, wearing a shirt, looks handsome and handsome, which made many viewers in Chicago couldn't help but cover their mouths and exclaim. He didn't look like a science fiction writer, he was obviously a movie star!
Lin Han, who is handsome to a new level, is not wasting his stylist who came to put on makeup and take care of his head early in the morning. He has attracted countless male and female fans through the live video broadcast of this award ceremony!
He added this sentence in his award speech, and the camera also took pictures of the TV behind him, just to clarify the matter. He did not know the result in advance, but watched the live broadcast like everyone else!
After the live broadcast of the award speech, Lin Han finally breathed a sigh of relief. It felt so strange to watch himself connect to the TV screen.
"It's great, at least this time I didn't come back empty-handed." Chen Jiaxuan stood aside and clapped her hands seriously. She was really worried that the American Fantasy and Science Fiction Writers Association was too xenophobic and did not give Lin Han a single award. Now she felt at ease.
Lin Han turned his head and smiled at her. With this award as a base, he was indeed much more calm and could watch the exhibition behind him!
At this time, the news of "The Last Earthling" winning the record award was taken by the media as instant news on the Internet. Fans who had not recovered had seen such explosive news just as soon as they woke up, and they all became excited.
There are the voices of Lin Han fans celebrating on the bus, subway, and even in the company office, and in the classroom. At this moment, everyone is happy for Lin Han’s success!
As a girl who is not very sociable, Huo Sining always looks like a tomboy. She likes to watch NBAs, knows football players, coaches, is good at mathematics, and loves science fiction the most.
The first class this morning was Master Mie Jue's "Mathematical Analysis" by Master Mie Jue in the department. This is a subject that is more difficult than higher mathematics and higher generations. She has always been a good student sitting in the first row, but this time she quietly came to the windows in the middle rows because she wanted to watch Xinlang's live pictures and texts.
The students around were all looking at the abnormal situation of this academic master when he was browsing his phone in class. It turned out that the academic master also had such depravity. It seemed that everyone was the same!
After seeing the photo of Lin Han’s acceptance speech, Huo Sining clenched his fists excitedly and thought seriously in his heart: “The next thing is to see the Three-Body and Jurassic Park. Which one can win the award?”
This is also something Lin Han is concerned about. With the winning of Best Script Awards "Mad Max: The Furious Road" and the Best Newcomer Award to Fran Wilde's "Asclimbing Airflow", each award is announced here.
Time quietly comes to the end of the award ceremony, and the most attention-giving best-length award is about to appear. Whether it is the TV ratings or the number of viewers on the Internet, they have reached their peak at this moment. Everyone is waiting for a miracle and waiting for Lin Han to reach the top!
