Chapter 409

Netizens watching live videos on YouTube are going crazy. Lin Han is so stuck. It is obviously the most important time, but it just paused, which makes people feel itchy!

The editor who is in charge of live pictures and texts was almost bombarded to death by netizens. It was obvious that Lin Han didn't say it, but it turned out to be a pretentious suspense that he would vomit blood.

"Aoaoaoaoao, what about the list of the best novels? Why is there no further information? I, editor, don't make trouble, you will be beaten to death!"

"Teacher Lin smiled so handsomely. I'm going to be corona!"

"There are men or women upstairs, be sure to be reserved!"

"I'm just trying to die, please send the last content quickly. Have I entered my Inception space?"

"I'm so dizzy, can I be more straightforward and clear!"

Lin Han’s fans kept browsing the news and waiting for the final result. So far, Lin Han has only received a short story nomination. If there is no longer a long story, it would be dangerous.

At this time, Chen Jiaxuan and Holland were also staring at Lin Han, waiting for the last item to be announced. Neither of them spoke, for fear of affecting the live broadcast of the camera on the side.

Lin Han looked at the list in his hand and continued: "The most exciting thing is here. The ones who won the best novel nominations for this Hugo Award are the affiliated Mercy Anlekchi, the Black Spire Jimbucha, the fifth season Jameson, and the bouquet and three-body series dedicated to Algernon, author Lin Han!"

For Chinese readers, I have hardly heard of the first three novels. After all, it is difficult to find publishers to translate science fiction novels that have just been released for a year. For them, Lin Han's books are well-known.

The Three-Body Body Series is inseparable. It has won the Nebula Award before. This time it is a symbol of strength. This is its due honor!

But it seems a bit incredible that the bouquet dedicated to Algernon was shortlisted. Everyone did not expect it to be high. I never imagined that this book would become the favorite of the members of the World Science Fiction Association.

The Galactic Wandering Guide and Inception, which are truly highly anticipated by readers, both failed to be selected and became a pair of brothers in distress!

The Milky Way Guide has a great influence. After all, it is a novel that has created a serial record on nature. Moreover, the writing characteristics are very consistent with the aesthetics of foreigners. The sales volume in the UK is more than that of Japan, South Korea, Germany and France. The evaluation in the United States is also good as sales.

It ranks among the top in all kinds of selections across the United States and Britain, and has also received good reviews in China. Before, everyone is basically sure that this book will be shortlisted because it fits the hatred of Europeans and Americans towards China, such as the satire of forced demolition at the beginning!

After the protagonist's home was forcibly demolished, the entire earth was also forcibly demolished. It was humorous and interesting, with a very old writing style, and the plot was attractive. Even the character description broke through the shackles of the past and created the cuteest robot Ma Wenlai.

The list of best novels is not available, and Lin Han’s readers were almost surprised!

The reason why Inception failed to be shortlisted is very simple. Except for domestic readers who have read it, many foreign readers have not had time to read this book. It was launched abroad for a short time and was officially released the week after Lin Han appeared on the cover of Times magazine, and the distribution was not completely unfolded.

These members have only heard of the name of Inception, but have not seen its novels, so it is naturally impossible to vote against their conscience. After all, they are not members of the Puppy Gang, so voting is still very rational!

This is probably because Lin Han has too many works. There are so many novels in each award ceremony cycle. They not only have to fight against the works of other writers, but also have to fight against Lin Han’s own novels, which is also a disadvantage.

With the announcement of the nomination list, the Internet was in full swing. The Three-Body Prosperity was expected, and the bouquet dedicated to Algernon was a dark and shiny dark horse!

"Damn it, what did those people do? I don't know how to appreciate such a good novel in Dream Inception. Fortunately, there is also a Three-Body Series to comfort me. Please hold me tightly with the Three-Body Cultist!"

"It's reasonable and unexpected. I guess those members are having a headache, which one should I choose!"

"The bouquets you said to be very poor for Algeron are pretty good, they are obviously very good! And my male god Leonardo is going to adapt this novel. The two male gods are working together, which is great!"

"It's not that it's bad. What the other three novels are? It feels like they were selected to make up the numbers. I haven't heard of them at all. I can't find the translated names from Qiandu or Google."

"Actually, what I like most are Lin Han's short stories. His short stories are even more exciting than long ones. Have you read the Yanjing folding? I think it's much worse than the Wandering Earth, but being nominated is a good thing."

"In the lifetime series, there is a second Chinese science fiction writer who can also be included in the nomination list, which shows that our science fiction novels have indeed made progress!"

"If Lin Han's name is on par with other science fiction masters, I will recognize it, but what the hell are these? I can't stand it at all!"

After announcing all the nominations for the awards, major media immediately summarized and started reporting. At the same time, the World Science Fiction Association also began to post emails to all members to inform them of the nominations. The next step is to invite those nominated people to come to the scene as much as possible, but that's not related to Lin Han's business.

But at the moment, his live broadcast is not over yet: "Actually, this is a good book list. If you are short of books at this time, I will recommend the novels in it to you. The World Science Fiction Conference invites all friends who like and care about science fiction to come and meet. See you in Yanjing in July!"

After saying this, the cameraman on the scene immediately turned off the live broadcast signal. The nomination session ended here. Half a month later, the final winner of the Hugo Award will be decided on the scene of the World Science Fiction Conference.

Chairman Tom Holland's face was a little bad. Even if Lin Han came to him, he just forced a smile: "Congratulations, dear Lin, I hope you can win the award in this."

"Mr. Holland, can I ask why you are unhappy now?" Lin Han said casually. The nomination is just the icing on the cake for him. Only winning awards can have a real effect.

"You know the sad puppy and the crazy puppy? The two groups were once again shortlisted. Last year we smashed the Puppy Gang's action, but this year it made a comeback. This is not a good thing!"

Lin Han was very worried. He had a head-on conflict with Robin of the Puppy Gang. As the Hugo Award nomination range became wider, the members of the Puppy Gang claimed to be the heirs of traditional American science fiction and used the power of their team to support some writers to get nominations, thereby interfering with their political rivals in the science fiction world.

Last year, their actions achieved unprecedented success in the nomination stage, and achieved domination or totally occupying the shortlist in several award categories, becoming the top of that series of actions!

However, at the award ceremony, the Puppy Gang failed to achieve a carnival. Except for Lin Han who completely defeated Robin in a head-on competition and won the Best Novel Award for the Hugo Award, many of the other members of the Puppy Gang were shortlisted for the projects that were notified by the Puppy Gang, who would rather have vacancies to leave the award vacant than to award the award to works nominated by the Puppy Gang.

I have done this once last year. I still have to let the awards be vacant this year, which is a complete compromise with the Puppy Gang. I can’t cancel those awards!

Many voters opposed some of their works because they were nominated by the Puppy Gang. This year, the Puppy Gang learned from last year's lessons and nominated many projects this year. Many writers have successfully entered the shortlist for the final award.

But there are some differences. Most of the nomination projects last year were works that were more in line with the interests of the Puppy Gang. This year, the Puppy Gang nomination list has added many authors and works that have been widely praised among science fiction fans, industry leaders and Hugo Award voters.

For example, they chose to bring the bouquet of Lin Han's science fiction works that were not as strong as the science fiction flavor to Algernon on the nomination list, and replaced the very promising galaxy wandering guide that is very popular!

In this way, the two writers they supported could be a little ahead when facing the bouquet dedicated to Algernon and not so passive.

In addition to the bouquet dedicated to Algernon, although several other popular works are also on their support list, the support of the Puppy Gang did not play much role in the entire award evaluation process, and just forced the credit to be taken in your arms!

For example, if the bouquet dedicated to Algernon wins the Hugo Award, wouldn’t Lin Han himself be the biggest contributor?

The members of the puppy gang were like rushing to a marching procession that was already marching, and then claiming that they had received the parade themselves. This behavior is quite shameless and disgusting!

Last year, many authors shortlisted for the Hugo Awards voluntarily gave up the selection in order to avoid contacting the Puppy Gang list, including Brian Howard, the man Lin Han met at the conference. His warship master resolutely withdrew from the competition after winning the nomination, and finally allowed Lin Han's novel Mars Rescue to become a lucky loser and join the nomination list at the last moment.

"We have to take action, otherwise the entire Hugo Award will be ruined by the Puppy Gang." Tom Holland said righteously. He could not watch the Hugo Award decline under his nose.
