Chapter 612 Lively Internet

The Hugo Award is almost the highest level award that a science fiction writer can win. Lin Han’s four nominations and a lifetime achievement award made the whole world look at Lin Han, a young writer.

How many years has he written a book?

He is actually qualified to win this award, and now the Hugo Award will award the Lifetime Achievement Award to Lin Han. Is this a compliment or a curse?

If Lin Han continues to create excellent novels in the next few decades, what should he do if the Hugo Award is given again?

At that time, I may have to use Lin Han’s name to open the award separately in the Hugo Award, or directly change the Lifetime Achievement Award to the Lin Han Award!

Such examples have appeared many times in other awards ceremony. In order to pay tribute to someone, a single award or an award unit is simply set up.

However, the ship is naturally straight when it reaches the bridge. It is not yet time for the Hugo Awards Committee to worry about it. What they think is to get through the difficulties in front of them first!

Of course, Lin Han is indeed a little young at this age, but if he ignores his age and only looks at the works, he thinks that this award is very reasonable.

Starting from the initial book "I, Robot" entering the sight of American readers, the following "Mars Rescue", "Jurassic Park", "Three-Body" series, "The Wandering Guide to the Galaxy", "Bouquets for Algeron", "Inception", "Hiberian", "Resident Evil", "Time Traveler's Wife", and "Immortality", "The Matrix".

Which of these works is not well-known, and which one has not caused a carnival between readers and book critics?

In addition to these medium-length novels, Lin Han is also quite accomplished in the field of short stories. The first book "The Country Teacher" serialized in the science fiction world won the British Mirror Award "Artificial Beauty", which triggered a global storm of writing, "The Last Earthman", which moved countless people, "The Wandering Earth", "Bring Her Eyes", etc.

Qualifications are often very important in the literary world. The awarding standards for major literary awards are almost always brought to those writers for retirement. Compared with the vague standards abroad, the domestic literary and artistic life-life achievement awards are much clearer!

Taking Guangdong Province as an example, there are strict regulations for the selection of their lifetime achievement awards. The target must be artists with Guangdong Province household registration or working in Guangdong Province for more than 10 years and have been involved in literary and artistic units for more than 60 years (writers have been 50 years, the first publicly published literary work shall prevail) and have made outstanding contributions to literary and artistic creation.

Judging from this standard, Lin Han doesn't seem to meet any of them. I'm afraid that anyone who can win this lifelong achievement award is a white-haired old man and an old lady with a 60 or 50 years of working years. Even if they start working at the age of 20, they will have to be in their seventies or eighties to win the award!

So now Lin Han won the Hugo Award at a young age, such as the industry-leading life-achieving award, which will probably make a lot of old writers dissatisfied, after all, they have not won this award.

Compared with the literary circle, the lifelong achievement award in the entertainment circle is more younger!

For example, Elvis once won the Grammy Award for Lifetime Achievement at the age of 36, and passed away six years later.

Hong Kong female singer Anita Mui won the Golden Needle Award at the age of 35. The Golden Needle Award is the highest honor in the music field in Hong Kong and does not necessarily have awards every year.

Hollywood superstar Leonardo, who purchased the copyright of Lin Han's "Bouquet for Algeron", also won the Lifetime Achievement Award at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival when he was 30 years old.

Mainland director Jia Zhangke won the Cano Lifetime Achievement Award when he was 40 years old, becoming the youngest winner of the award.

Of course, the youngest Nobel Prize winner is particularly evil. William Lawrence Prague conducted research on x-ray crystal structure with his father. He was only 25 years old when he won the Physics Prize in 1915!

In the eyes of many people, he is still a young man and has not reached the peak of artistic creation at all. It is normal to be controversial at this time.

...

Just after taking a handful of King of Pesticides, Zhao Hancheng turned over from the bed, went to the toilet and put water in the toilet and walked back happily.

After all, I don’t go to work tomorrow, and I can sleep even if I play until a little while. It’s rare that I played so smoothly today!

But I knew that the new game actually matched a pit comparison. It seemed that the winning rate was OK, so why did I hang up?

It was obvious that he was sure to win this time, but his teammates pulled him back. Zhao Hancheng was so angry that he turned off the game directly. He was upset when he encountered such a big pit.

"In Male Gobi, this kind of pit should be banned!"

After Zhao Hancheng cursed for a while, he was a little excited and couldn't sleep at all. He simply clicked on Weibo to see if there was any news recently.

Most of his Weibo posts are funny bloggers and movie box office or various movie recommendations. Before he could browse today's movie box office information, Zhao Hancheng was flooded with the series of Hugo Award news!

He actually didn't catch a lot of fun in science fiction novels. Except for Verne's novels that he read as extracurricular books in middle school, all Lin Han's books only knew this name.

Compared to science fiction novels, what Zhao Hancheng likes more is obviously science fiction movies, and the cool vision and unparalleled imagination in it shock him!

Even if his classmates and colleagues around him strongly admire Lin Han's novels, he was too lazy to read them.

In fact, most people like Zhao Hancheng are. Although they are well-known for Lin Han's novels, their reading habits have been abandoned. It is enough to play games, movies, TV series or play mahjong and sing ka after work. Reading is really not everyone's hobby!

However, some time ago, he paid to watch Lin Han's movie "Immortality" online. After all, this movie that created the highest box office and revenue record in the history of low-cost films is really well received!

Zhao Hancheng admires Lin Han's ability to write a terrifying feeling through dialogue in a room, so he is more looking forward to the new film "The Matrix".

The domestic science fiction film starring three masters of acting skills and a handsome mixed-race man. Although it is a little uneasy, the cool poster completely conquered him. Now I will wait for the movie to be completed and released with my fingers!

"Oh, he is so powerful. He has won the Lifetime Achievement Award at only a few years old. What should I do in the future?"

Zhao Hancheng clicked in and read the original news. When he was still fighting for Honor of Kings, his peers were already invincible in Europe, the United States and other countries. Although he didn't know what the books other writers wrote were, he always felt unaware of the harshness!

"Why is there no "The Matrix"? Didn't it mean that the Matrix is ​​also quite popular?" Zhao Hancheng was a little confused. Because he paid attention to the movie of the same name in this novel, he also began to pay attention to the achievements of the novel.

In fact, there are many people who are equally confused as Zhao Hancheng. The comments below this news are very rich and there are all kinds of words!

Agile Donkey: God tm's Lifetime Achievement Award, is this a curse that we, Teacher Lin, can't write good works in the future?

The little fairy of the Wu family: Why don’t there be my favorite "Time Traveler’s Wife"? How did this nomination be made!

Zhao Haonan, Causeway Bay: Congratulations to Lin Han, this is the youngest among all the lifelong achievement awards in the world!

Bob Jerry: Teacher Lin is just to win glory for the country. A few years ago, I didn’t know what the Hugo Award was. Without Teacher Lin, there was not an Asian science fiction writer. Now Teacher Lin dominated the list every year!

Xiaochuanerdai: At this time, I was the only one who suspected that Teacher Lin was the Hugo Award's own son? He actually received so many nominations, but he still won't let the rest of the writers live!

Massachusetts de summons: No one is the real son, it is obviously the real ancestor!

Wudonghui: Although I think it is inappropriate to give the lifetime achievement award so early, do we still have to refuse if someone wants to give it? That is too hypocritical [doge]

Kind and Evil Hedge Foundation: I hope Mr. Lin will not be corroded by the sugar-coated shells of capitalism. We also want to see more excellent works, but don’t retire at a young age!

Zhao Hancheng did not reply to this Weibo post. He just silently liked it, and then followed the Internet to Lin Han's post. He posted a post in the bar and asked.

"I just saw the Hugo Award nomination, why is "The Matrix" not popular among foreigners?"

This is his full of doubts. He also saw that the novel "The Matrix" set a single-week sales record in China, and sold seven or eight million copies in one month.

But it was not shortlisted for the nomination list, which made Zhao Hancheng quite unhappy. He also expected that the movie "The Matrix" could borrow the original light and sell it around the world like "The Mars Rescue"!

It’s obviously a little closer, but it’s a post. People in the bar are emerging one after another, and congratulations are endless. After all, Lin Han’s post has more than one million members followed it, which is considered the most active post.

After Zhao Hancheng refreshed it, he saw that there were many replies in his post, some of which were paddling, some of which were insulting, and some people were explaining seriously!

"The second floor is as confused as the poster, why is the Matrix not nominated?"

"I just do it with a random call and it's such a standard fifteen words."

"Who told you that "The Matrix" is not popular with foreigners? They are selling well abroad. The United States has ranked first in the New York Times best-selling list for four consecutive weeks, and Europe has also won the sales championship in most countries. The news posted last week said that overseas sales have exceeded 10 million in total, but Teacher Lin and others are low-key and don't just post a news hype."

"Yes, the owner is in New York. The bookstore here sells very well. There are people in the school around you who specially organize members of the club to read books and analyze them together!"

"Why wasn't nominated? Maybe it's because it was released for a short time, only about a month, and its influence is definitely not as strong as those books that have been released for eight or nine months."

With this news alone, the focus of the Internet and real news was snatched by Lin Han. No one paid attention to the sales war between "Philosophy in the Matrix" and "Aliens on the Moon", and no one cared about how difficult and simple the college entrance examination questions were this year!
Chapter completed!
