Chapter 60 Awards Ceremony
(The last day of the new book period, strongly calling for recommendation votes~~)
Sometimes a magazine's victory can be driven by an author, but that's not Lin Han.
He did not have this strength at this time. "Rural Teacher" expanded the readership group and attracted more readers to pay attention. "Science Fiction World" firmly attracted these readers with its own strength.
Although Lin Han didn't know the purpose of the two editors, he still showed enough friendship. After a while, Wang Yifan and Chen Chuhe stood up and left, leaving the space for Lin Han.
Now he just needs to sort out his mood and make himself more relaxed. It is best to win awards at this award ceremony. It doesn’t matter if he can’t win it. He has more opportunities in the future.
More and more classics are being brought over by themselves, and I don’t believe they won’t be favored by these judges, but Lin Han’s ultimate goal is to become the first person to win the Nobel Prize in Literature for science fiction novels. This goal is very, very difficult, but he will not give up.
During the free time of night, Lin Han did not stay in the hotel, but ran to Huangpu night view and went for a walk around in the Bund and other places in Shanghai.
He didn't want to meet Li Wenyuan before the award ceremony, so as not to be chewed behind him.
Shanghai at night is very charming, even the cold wind cannot stop the tourists. Lin Han enjoys the taste of traveling alone. He picked up his mobile phone and took a photo and posted it to the Weibo.
...
The next morning, Lin Han, dressed neatly, came outside the hotel. His driver was ready, but this time he did not leave alone, but with two other science fiction writers.
"Hello, I'm Wu Zhentian. This time I came here to listen to the lectures and watch the exhibitions. Where are you?"
Lin Han turned his head and glanced at another person, and he said, "The first time I participated in such an event, I am Lin Han."
"No way? You are Lin Han. They all say that your "Rural Teacher" is a popular prize winner. We have all read your novel. By the way, your three rules of robots are so awesome. I saw this topic on Twitter yesterday, and it became popular abroad!"
"I forgot to say that my name is Tian Ran. I'm the one who wrote "Harvest Dreams". I wonder if you have any impressions."
The three people in the car are not the kind of petty personality. Lin Han's memory happens to have these two people. Wu Zhentian's "City of Wind" and Tian Ran's "Harvest Dreams" were both published in "Science Fiction World" in 2016, so they were invited.
But he was more curious about what happened to the favorites to win the prize. While the driver was still on the road, he quickly asked: "How did this favorites to win the prize be released? I don't know about it at all."
Tian Ran raised his eyebrows, "It seems like he is a bored person. According to statistics on the Internet search data, the number of Douban reading reviews and evaluations, professional book reviews and other newspapers and magazines, "Rural Teacher" ranks very high, except for lack of professional book reviews."
"So that's it, but whoever gives the Galaxy Award depends on the taste of the judges." Lin Han shrugged and said helplessly. He had never had a similar experience before, nervous and a little exciting.
After arriving at the venue, they were going to see the Future Science and Technology Exhibition, and the Galaxy Awards ceremony later.
So Lin Han and his party saw the intelligent cockpit of the future aircraft, the intelligent plant factory without sunshine or soil, as well as the precise orthopedic surgery robot, and the robot that can pile up blocks and dance.
In addition, there are 3D printing technology that is popular all over the world and virtual VR exhibition areas, and even Iron Man-like flying spray social security, quantum suspension technology, etc., which makes people feel like dreams, as if the scenes depicted in science fiction have really arrived.
"It's amazing. After attending the awards ceremony later, I want to stay here all day."
Lin Han said to himself, now he was just a quick look. He didn't even have the opportunity to experience the new VR world, but only watched the audience enjoy it with greed.
Wu Zhentian felt that his eyes were almost out of service. This exhibition was very interesting. There were more and more people waiting in line to enter the venue. He could only sigh and said with emotion: "When will I see these applications really go on the market? I hope I can live to this day."
"Believe me, you can definitely do it." Tian Ran patted his shoulder, and then, led by the welcome staff, several people walked through the exhibition hall and entered the large auditorium.
At this time, the auditorium was decorated in a sci-fi color. The words "The Galactic Award" on the stage shone with the brilliant galaxy around it. At this time, people had already entered the audience of more than 2,000 people.
A science fiction concept film is being played on the big screen on the scene. The clips describing future life attract the attention of these science fiction writers, who forget what is around them and immerse themselves in the short film.
The wealthy "Science Fiction World" magazine actually spent money to shoot such a video. The special effects images composed of almost all computer CGs look very good, and each second is equivalent to tens of thousands of yuan.
This is not a short film, but a RMB!
Lin Han was on the right in the middle. After taking two deep breaths, he stopped to look at the judges and guests in front, and began to wait for the start of the award ceremony.
At exactly 10 o'clock in the morning, the Chinese science fiction Galaxy Award, which had been waiting for a long time, finally unveiled its mysterious veil. The lights on the scene suddenly became dim, and a passionate promotional video appeared on the big screen.
The technology of naked-eye 3D is combined with the passionate music, as if the warships are about to rush out of the screen, and even the fragments of the explosion of the planet will hit themselves, the brilliant interstellar war, the vivid robot housekeeper, the bloody doomsday crisis of setting sun, the extremely developed future transportation, and scenes in science fiction novels appear in the video.
When the five-minute short film ended, no one on the scene could calm down and could only clap desperately to express their excitement.
That’s amazing, this is the real science fiction awards ceremony, and science fiction elements are everywhere!
Even when the host dressed as a robot appeared, Lin Han had not reacted yet, because it looked so similar that it was definitely putting his efforts into cosplaying.
"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the award ceremony of the 27th Chinese Science Fiction Galaxy Awards. Science shaping the future and fantasy creates glory. This is a grand event of Chinese Science Fiction literature of the year, and it is a carnival for all readers who like science fiction novels!"
After a beam of light, the female host appeared heroically in a slim space suit. She was not as elegant and luxurious as a traditional host. The astronaut who helped with a ponytail and holding a laser gun looked very handsome.
"This is the highest award in science fiction in China and a milestone in the development of science fiction literature. Today we will celebrate the 27th birthday of the Galaxy Award together. Today we will welcome the rise of new science fiction forces together. The judges participating in this Galaxy Award include Wang Jinkang, Zhang Ran, Jiang Bo, Han Song, Li Wenyuan, Teng Yuanmi, Zhang Jiahao and Ni Jianzhong. At the same time, Lu Gang and Li Miao also attended the award ceremony. The integration of science and technology is today!"
"This award ceremony will be broadcast live by Shanghai TV Economic and Trade Channel. You can also log in to Youku, Tencent and other video websites for live broadcast online. Everyone is welcome to participate in WeChat and Weibo interaction to win signature works of well-known writers."
After talking so much, Lin Han was very glad to have saved the leader from speaking, so he began to face it and wait for the award to be awarded.
The male host dressed as a robot said, "Today's first award is to commend the new power of science fiction. Every year, countless new authors join the science fiction literature family. They are the hope of science fiction literature, and the future belongs to you!"
"In the past year, many new science fiction experts have contributed wonderful articles to bring readers a reading feast. Please see the nomination list below."
