142 Award Nominations
"What are you laughing at?" Guan Xinyan rolled his eyes: "I like this book, I love the house and the Wuwu. Is there any problem if I want to meet the author?"
Love the house and the Um?
Chen Yao coughed dryly: "No problem."
Guan Xinyan suddenly thought of something: "Do you know the Galaxy Award?"
Chen Yao nodded: "I know, it is the largest science fiction award in China. Many science fiction novels who write science fiction are eager to win this award."
Guan Xinyan said with a certain tone: "I think the author of this book can win this year's Science Fiction Galaxy Award."
Chen Yao knew best that he had not received nominations from the conference so far and did not have the qualifications to be selected. Where can he win the Galaxy Award?
At night, I returned to the apartment and rushed into the bathroom to take a shower as soon as possible. I felt uncomfortable if I didn’t take a shower for a day.
After taking a shower, I sat relaxed on the sofa in the living room.
After opening the notebook in front of him and waiting for the time to start the computer, Chen Yao touched his chin and conceived "The Wandering Earth 3" in his mind. It was time to finish it.
But, what can I write in the third new solar era?
Just as I was thinking, the phone ringing rang.
I looked at the display on the screen and found that it was a call from the editor Lao Luo. I was about to find him and ask about the sales of books.
Chen Yao immediately connected and put it in his ear: "Old Luo, good evening."
"Haha, good evening, I haven't contacted you for a long time." Luo Kun said with a smile.
The familiar voice still feels so friendly.
Chen Yao asked: "Is there anything wrong with calling so late?"
Luo Kun asked with a smile: "Have you finished writing "The Wandering Earth 3"?"
Chen Yao was stunned. The editor called and asked about the new book.
But thinking about it, the current good grades of books are also very beneficial to the publishing house, and the editor also hopes that the author will publish the book as soon as possible.
"Ahem, I haven't written a single word yet." Chen Yao coughed twice, a little embarrassed.
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. Tell me when you finish writing."
Luo Kun knew that Chen Yao's identity was not simple, and he was not a professional author.
Last time I checked his encyclopedia information in the coffee shop, Luo Kun's eyes almost fell off in shock. The author of this book was actually a tech tycoon.
Chen Yao asked with concern: "How is the sales of books?"
"Mr. Chen, with your wealth, do you still care about the little money for book sales?" Luo Kun felt that this big guy was interested in writing books.
Chen Yao said: "Of course I care, it's not just a matter of money."
As books become popular, their fame and IP value will also increase.
Do the boss of a technology company need an IP?
Need, even more than anyone else.
With the rise of the online fan economy, building personal IP will be of great benefit to the company's product promotion.
Nowadays, many company bosses will go to the live broadcast room to sell goods and interact with fans on site.
What's more, Chen Yao is still a young handsome man who runs a technology company. Many female fans on Weibo often call her husband.
Luo Kun smiled and said, "Not to mention domestic ones, it is worth mentioning that your book is very popular on the overseas Amazon platform, and even better than domestic sales!"
The domestic book market is quite different from overseas. Most novels that can become popular in China cannot become popular overseas.
Nowadays, the novels created by Chen Yao can be sold overseas, which is a huge success!
The popularity of "My Wandering Earth" has surpassed the previous book "Wanding Earth".
The book "The Wandering Earth" before traveling through time was very popular in China. It was filmed into a movie and the box office that exceeded 4.6 billion was in China.
But "My Wandering Earth" became popular overseas and you can make a movie that will influence the world in minutes in the future.
Chen Yao smiled happily: "Thank you for the good news."
"There is also good news," said Luo Kun: "You have a high chance of nominating the Galaxy Award."
"Really?"
"It's just my guess, but I feel the chance is very high." Luo Kun reminded: "In the past few days, please pay attention to the news of the Galaxy Awards."
Chen Yao responded and then hung up the phone.
Look at the time on the wall, it was getting late and I couldn't sleep even if I lay in bed for a long time.
I still have some expectations for the Galaxy Award. After all, this is the highest honor in China, a high level that many people write science fiction will never reach in their entire lives.
The next morning, it was sunny outside.
After brushing his teeth and washing his face, Chen Yao changed into a sportswear and went to the sports field outside to run.
There is no need for high-intensity exercise, just run a little and look at the greenery on both sides of the track. The whole person will be much more energetic.
At this moment, a man in white sportswear ran towards him. He was Zhou Weiming.
"Captain, congratulations!"
Zhou Weiming looked excited.
Chen Yao felt inexplicably: "What are you congratulating?"
Zhou Weiming smiled and said, "Don't you know? The novel you wrote was nominated for the Galaxy Award!"
"What?" Chen Yao wondered if he had heard it wrong. "When did it happen? I really don't know."
Zhou Weiming said: "I just saw the message posted by the Galaxy Award official Weibo, and the nomination list will be your name!"
True or fake?
Chen Yao immediately took out his cell phone, opened Weibo, and searched the official Weibo of the Galaxy Award.
Just last night, the official updated a news that the nomination list for this year's Galaxy Science Fiction Awards, with his own works and pseudonyms appearing on the list!
The news came so suddenly. Chen Yao opened his browser and searched for the official website of the Galaxy Award.
Similarly, the official website homepage published the nomination list for this Galaxy Awards, and his pseudonym and works are listed!
"Your fans know, but as the author, you realize it later." Zhou Weiming smiled.
Chen Yao laughed and scratched his head. This joy fell from the sky!
On the bench on the side of the road, Guan Xinyan, wearing a red vest, was holding "My Wandering Earth 2" in his hand, and was reading the book intently.
Since I discovered this book, I feel like I can't stop and I have to open it every day.
She likes this book and the author very much. She actually had some fantasies about this author?
She was reading a book seriously and was attracted by the laughter of Zhou Weiming and Chen Yao.
Guan Xinyan stood up and asked curiously: "What's so happy?"
Zhou Weiming smiled and said, "The novel written by Chen Yao has become popular and has also been nominated for the Galaxy Award."
What? Writing a novel? Galaxy Award?
Guan Xinyan knows the supreme award in the domestic science fiction world, but what does this have to do with Chen Yao?
She asked quickly, "What novel has he written?"
Zhou Weiming pointed at the book in her hand: "He wrote this book!"
No...is...are...
Chapter completed!
