Chapter 428
With the continuous popularization of science fiction culture in China, more and more people have begun to face this genre. The high-profile holding of the World Science Fiction Conference has also allowed people to see the richness and diversity of science fiction. This is not just Hollywood movies on the big screen or computer network disk!
This is already a huge industrial chain worth tens of billions of dollars. Such a huge market has made domestic large companies very excited, but they are more afraid to come forward. The first person to try it out always needs to receive more attention.
All domestic filmmakers have focused on "Martian Rescue" this year's New Year holiday. As long as the box office is not lost, capital will flock in!
These are all clichés, but they have obviously changed from waiting and watching to preparing. Several film production companies have begun to contact Chen Jiaxuan, hoping to obtain the right to adapt Lin Han's works.
For domestic movies, the best way is to find a big IP. Although there are many domestic science fiction works, can anyone surpass Lin Han?
He has laid the foundation for countless readers so many science fiction novels. When choosing Lin Han’s science fiction novels, they almost brought a box office of tens of millions or even hundreds of millions. In addition, the popularity of Lin Han’s novel adaptations, they almost used crazy snatches!
Haven't you seen Paramount buy "Jurassic Park" and Leonardo also won "Bouquets for Algeron". These are actually not Lin Han's most famous novels. The "Three-Body" series is still empty, and "Inception" is also waiting for people's favor.
This World Science Fiction Conference is not only as simple as the surface, but has secretly contributed to many transactions. Translated novels are just one of them, as well as the Chinese agents of science fiction games, the synchronous introduction of genuine movies and TV series, etc.
Lin Han was almost too busy to get out of the past few days, and even "Resident Evil" could only take the time to go back and write something every night, and the progress was really delayed.
Fortunately, today is the last day of the World Science Fiction Conference. The Hugo Award will be awarded soon. After the Hugo Award is awarded, he can finish the novel with peace of mind!
However, on this day, he will be the protagonist of the entire award ceremony. Not only will the novel be shortlisted for the awards, he will also serve as the award presenter. At the same time, he will announce the most concerned issue for readers, that is, the name and theme of the new book!
Actually, many people don’t care about this award. They think that since they have already won it once, it will not have any impact on taking it or not. Compared with the new book, it is more attractive.
...
Standing on the stage, Lin Han took a deep breath. Last year, he was sitting in the audience and tilting his head nervously. He was just starting out and only participated in such a grand event for the first time. Although he felt that there was only one percent chance of winning the award, he was dizzy when he actually got it!
A year later, he was calm enough to stand at the Hugo Awards ceremony. Looking around, the audience below were densely packed and could hardly see the faces clearly.
Lin Han could only find Chen Jiaxuan's seat based on his feelings, smiled at the other side, and then said, "I am honored to be awarded the first award today, and it is also the most important award for young science fiction writers. A year ago, I was a ignorant creator, and now I feel that I have fulfilled the wish I made a year ago."
The first award award at the opening of the Hugo Award was the Best Newcomer Award. It was won by Lin Han last year. Lin Han was even called the strongest newcomer in history. In the history of the Hugo Award, no winner of the Best Newcomer of the same year won the Best Novel of the same year!
In the next year, Lin Han also showed himself with practical actions that he deserved the title of "the best newcomer in history". Whether it is sales, reputation or industry evaluation, his novels stand at the top of science fiction literature, and every novel is jaw-dropping.
So when Lin Han finished saying this, the audience burst into thunderous applause. He was indeed fulfilling his promise with practical actions and moving towards the palace of science fiction literature step by step!
"I know what you want to know, but I won't say it now." Lin Han suddenly felt humorous, "I hope I will have the opportunity to appear on the stage and announce it later. This is the time for the Best Newcomer Award. Let's take a look at the nomination first..."
Regarding Lin Han's appetite-woning approach, the audience at the scene sighed in unison in annoyance, and then laughed in scattered lightly.
Netizens thought it was a big shock from the beginning, but who knew that Lin Han wouldn't say it, making them all itchy!
"I was convinced by Teacher Lin and agreed to announce the information about the new book. What if I can't win the prize later?"
"Bao, the crow mouth upstairs, Teacher Lin swept the Nebula Award, and won the Hugo Award for minutes. Don't curse Teacher Lin!"
"We must accumulate good character, but we can't just swear. I think Teacher Lin will definitely not have the chance to appear again, that's it!"
"I really hope this progress bar can be fast forward mode. I don't know these people. I want to see Teacher Lin!"
"It's too much to keep it in a silence. It's clear that I want to watch the live broadcast all night!"
"I think it must be a good work for such a mysterious appearance."
Of course, many authors at the scene felt that Lin Han used the Hugo Award to advertise his new book very much. They whispered: "This is too shameless. It's so shameless to advertise here."
"That's right, I've never seen such a marketing person, and I've been hiding at the award ceremony, and I've never seen such a person!"
"The higher you hold it, the harder you fall. I feel that Lin Han took a step to make a chess move this time."
People with limited vision think Lin Han is borrowing the light of the Hugo Awards ceremony, but only those who can really see the truth clearly understand that Lin Han is using his new book to attract attention to the Hugo Awards!
Not everyone was so ignorant at the scene. Li Wenyuan listened to the slander of Lin Han by the people around him, and said angrily: "Do you know how much Lin Han can pay for the Hugo Award in Yanjing? In fact, how many of the audiences watching the live broadcast today are for Lin Han to announce the news of the new book with him? Don't show it ignorance. Isn't it good to watch the award ceremony quietly?"
Li Wenyuan is also a well-known figure in the Chinese science fiction circle. After he got angry, the people around him immediately became quiet. No matter what he thought in his head, he didn't dare to speak again.
Lin Han himself took on the infamy, but benefited the World Science Fiction Conference and the Hugo Award. This is definitely not something that ordinary writers can do!
...
After handing over the trophy to a young foreign man, Lin Han successfully retreated from the stage and returned to his position. This is the best sight in the audience. In front are leaders of relevant national departments, and in the vicinity are real science fiction celebrities!
One gray-haired old men after another greeted Lin Han with a smile. These science fiction celebrities who have experienced the golden age of science fiction in the last century are still in their status, but their output has declined.
I originally thought that science fiction novels were about to sink, but I didn’t see enough amazing works on the market in several years before this, but Lin Han’s sudden appearance allowed them to see the grand occasion at that time. Even if the skin color was different, everyone’s thinking was the same!
Lin Han straightened his bow tie, and he admired these old writers who worked silently. As long as they didn't make any trouble, it would be the best.
Awards were awarded one after another, and the audience applauded with face, but this time the puppy gang was about to shed tears in Yanjing. They lost all the awards in front!
Now there is only the last award left, and the best novel is undecided. This is the last hope of the Puppy Gang, but everyone knows that this hope is slim!
"Season 5" promoted by the Puppy Gang does not seem to be a king from anywhere. Being able to get this nomination is the result of the Puppy Gang's continuous operation. It is even more difficult to defeat Lin Han than to climb to the sky!
Among the nominations, the most famous one is definitely Lin Han’s "Three-Body Problem" series. He won the Nebula Award more than a month ago and nominated three books for one book.
The other "Affiliated Pity" and "Black Spire" are actually not very influential, and they can only be regarded as novels that are not popular! The Hugo Award is voted by tens of thousands of science fiction enthusiasts, which is basically equivalent to a popularity award. If you have high popularity, you can win the award!
The biggest threat to the "Three-Body" series is Lin Han's own novel. This "Bouquet Dedicated to Algernon" is a masterpiece in soft science fiction in recent years. It has reached an incredible level of discussion on people's hearts. It even brought down the "Handering Guide to the Galaxy", which is popular among Western readers. It is already suspense whether this dark horse can defeat "Three-Body".
Holland, chairman of the World Science Fiction Association, walked to the stage with an envelope. He spoke: "As a genre literature, science fiction literature satisfys the interest aroused by human instinct for fear of loneliness, and combines imagination with human past history and culture. In addition to providing popular science education to readers and inspiring readers' desire to learn knowledge, it can also inspire human thinking about their own civilization and destiny!"
Everyone's eyes were concentrated on Holland's hands, and the cameraman on the scene also gave the close-ups in several seconds to let the audience watching the live broadcast feel this tense and exciting atmosphere!
Lin Han took a deep breath, and Chen Jiaxuan beside him was also affected by this tension. The two of them held each other's hands and supported each other. They were not fighting alone!
"In the past year, we have presented too many excellent works. Members of the World Science Fiction Association have selected five very good books from them, and only one of them can win the award. Let's see the winning works below..."
The sound effects engineer on the scene appropriately played the dense drum beats. He was already very nervous, but now the audience's hearts seemed to be about to jump into their throats!
Holland glanced at the envelope and said in bad Chinese: "The Three-Body Problem Series!"
Cheers and whistles rang out in the sky, and the audience stood up at the same time and presented the applause to Lin Han and "The Three-Body Problem"!
It has become a pearl that will never be forgotten in the history of science fiction, and will always shine in the science fiction corridor! (To be continued.)
