Chapter 389 Miracle, no one can match the three bodies!
The tense atmosphere gradually spread. With the best novella, Usman Malik's "The Prince and the Eucalyptus Elf", the last award remained in the audience!
The best novel has always been the highlight of the Nebula Awards, and this time is no exception. American time is the golden age of ratings at night, and China's Big 6 on the other side of the ocean is one morning, and people around the world are paying attention to this award ceremony.
Huo Sining was uneasy at this time. She had no idea of listening to the class. She didn't know what the judges were thinking, but she actually praised Lin Han so highly. If there was a little conspiracy theory, it would be the judges who used the tactic of praise to deal with Lin Han!
First, he used three nominations to help Lin Han become the hottest figure of the year, and then used this way of diversion of votes to help local writers in North America win awards.
The more he thought about it, the deeper the sadness on his face. Huo Sining actually began to pray to God and worship Buddha, praying that Lin Han could make a breakthrough!
In an apartment in Los Angeles, Charlie and his friends were sitting on the sand with beer watching Fox TV live broadcasts. The pizza in front of him seemed to be cold.
"Please, I haven't heard of the other two books at all. How could I compare with Lin's!"
"If we don't give the Nebula Award to Jurassic Park this time, we will go to the demonstration!"
"Wait a minute, why give it to "Jurassic Park"? I like "Me, Robot" more. Do you understand the three laws of robots? That is an epoch-making achievement!"
Before the award was awarded, these two buddies had a civil war.
At this time, Europe was still shrouded in darkness, and most people were sleeping, and only a few true fans were paying attention to the final result of the Nebula Award.
In a small villa in Rome, Italy, a handsome guy was concentrating on his computer. He was chatting with his friends in a science fiction group on Facebook, even though the coffee could no longer save his sleepiness.
"I have been waiting for this moment for so long. God, I really want to sleep. Please give the award to Lin Han as soon as possible!"
In the same group, Boer from Paris, France was also very tired, and the motivation to continue reading was the best long-form belonging.
The UK, Spain, Germany and even Finland, Norway, Japan, South Korea, and Australia have audiences staring at this award ceremony. Lin Han’s works are sold well all over the world and have attracted the admiration of a lot of readers. This time they are all silently praying for Lin Han!
Host Jimmy Canmore stood seriously in the center of the stage in a suit, and he talked to the camera: "In the past year, many excellent fantasy works have emerged, and shining names have been known to the world at that moment. We can hear the news sent back from the Three-Body Star, feel the fear of being chased by dinosaurs in the Jurassic period, be shocked by the three laws of the great robot, and also understand the justice brought by the servant's speech, and understand the tragic thrill of roots!"
With the words of this talk show host, posters of these five books flashed on the big screen behind, and each person occupied three books. This result was really impressive.
"The final list of winners will be announced by the chairman of the jury, Mr. Charles Robinson. Welcome Charles!"
Charles, who was covered in white and wrinkled, walked up in a spirit. He waved to the audience. The old man was a recognized science fiction master. He wrote many popular and maintained an excellent level. He has written works from the 1970s to the present.
Although Lin Han didn't know Charles, he was lucky enough to read him. Now the envelope in his hand determines the winner tonight, and no one can calm down.
"Ladies and gentlemen, good evening everyone! I must admit that last year was an extremely excellent year, and the fantasy literature of the whole world is booming. We saw Lin Han from China. In the past, he thought that there was a science fiction desert, but he showed us the mistake of this concept with excellent books! Welcome this oriental writer to our big family, and also send my most sincere blessings to all friends who are serious about writing. Next, let's take a look at the final suspense tonight!"
As the chairman of the jury, he opened the envelope in his hand and glanced casually, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, which made the camera capture the big screen.
Audiences all over the world were curious about what Charles saw, which made him laugh!
Lin Han and Chen Jiaxuan were originally leaning against the sand, but at this time they couldn't help leaning forward, and at the same time they held their hands tightly, staring at the TV screen intently, waiting for the name.
The media also prepared various manuscripts. They wrote the format early, and filled in the blanks as soon as the results came out, racing against time to get attention!
Charles took a deep breath: "This result may surprise everyone. I want to say that this is basically a decision that all our judges unanimously approved. The best feature of the Nebula Award is the "Three-Body Problem" series!"
The whole world seemed to be confused at this moment!
When Lin Han heard "The Three-Body Problem", he jumped up from the sand excitedly, and hugged Chen Jiaxuan beside him. At the same time, the two of them didn't care about anyone else being there and kissed them directly.
But I heard that it seems a little wrong afterwards, because the only one who was shortlisted for the nomination list is "Three-Body Problem", which is the first part translated into "Three-Body Problem", but the winner is the "Three-Body Problem" series!
"Did I hear it wrong?" Lin Hanxun calmed down, turned around and asked the staff around him, wanting to confirm.
The staff member was also a little suspicious of his ears, "What I heard was the "Three-Body Body" series, but "Three-Body Body 2: Dark Forest" and "Three-Body Body 3: Eternal Life of Death" were not nominated at all!"
This is also the question of the audience in the scene, even the TV, computer, and even the media did not let the news out!
"What the hell? Is this old man old or confused? Is it the "Three-Body Problem" or the "Three-Body Problem" series?"
"I'm so anxious. Could it be that I'm wrong? Please ask the English expert to translate what Charles said just now!"
"No matter whether it is the "Three-Body Problem" or the "Three-Body Problem" series, Lin Han will win the award anyway. Congratulations to Teacher Lin for conquering the Nebula Award!"
"Is this a surprise situation? Look at the confused foreigners at the scene. It's so funny!"
"Teacher Lin is majestic and domineering. I hope this award ceremony will not turn into a joke."
"I knew "The Three-Body Problem" would not fail. It is definitely the whole world likes it if written so well!"
"Ahhh, explain what's going on!"
The number of barrage on video websites suddenly increased. Many people who were diving were shocked by the news. The Wannian Submarine couldn't help but ask what was going on.
Charles, who was full of bad fun, looked at the commotion among the audience. He explained calmly: "In fact, after the nomination list came out, the entire jury did not know which book to submit. Later, someone proposed a new option, which was to turn "Three-Body" into the complete collection of "Three-Body". The entire series was indispensable. It was possible to finish this magnificent science fiction in just one year. This series is worth encouraging!"
"When we made an exception and placed the complete collection of "The Three-Body Problem" on the nomination list, after a round of voting, two-thirds of the judges agreed to this choice. It deserves the Nebula Award. Congratulations to Lin Han!"
After hearing the old man’s explanation, the writers and audiences on the scene stood up one after another, began to applaud desperately, and subdued talents without any restrictions and knew how to adapt!
There is no need to question the excitement of the "Three-Body Problem" series, and it is worthy of being able to win this award!
It can be said that no one expected that this would happen. "The Three-Body Problem" won the award, and the practice of directly awarding a series once again set a precedent for the Nebula Award!
Time and again, the Nebula Award always makes an exception for Lin Han, and this treatment is absolutely unprecedented!
In fact, during the nomination stage, many people were dissatisfied with the failure to be shortlisted for "Three-Body 2: Dark Forest", because this book is the best in the complete collection of "Three-Body 2", which fulfilled their wishes this time.
All major media have quickly written manuscripts, and all the manuscripts written by the original cannot be used. They can only rely on the editor to write on the spot. At the same time, a lot of congratulations are posted in the blog posts and posts in the Hanlin Academy forum!
The complete collection of "The Three-Body Problem" can be said to have pure Chinese science fiction bloodline. What else can a fantasy writer do to defeat American science fiction and fantasy writers besides miracles?
When Lin Han calmed down again appeared on the big screen, he sighed, "To be honest, I never thought I could give another award speech. I have to say, thank the judges for their love for the "Three-Body Problem" series, this is my favorite. When I heard that the "Three-Body Problem" series won the award, I thought today became April April Fool's Day. Charles, you were really surprised by me!"
"Science fiction brings humans into a whole. This set of books depicts a terrifying universe. We always encounter many difficulties in the process of exploring endless space, but we unite together to face this disaster from the Three Body, and face the future together! In the grand science fiction world, I just made a little insignificant contribution, thank you everyone!"
After Lin Han's acceptance speech was over, host Jimmy Canmore did not forget to finish: "Hey, man, your trophy is still in my hands. Don't forget to use the curvature light spaceship to come to me for it! Congratulations to Lin Han again!"
Among the five nominations, any of the awards won by the award will cause dissatisfaction, but when the "Three-Body Problem" series miraculously won the award, there were almost no doubts, and the entire network was full of congratulations!
Chapter completed!
