??Light of the Galaxy, this year¡¯s Galaxy Awards ceremony has finally begun!
Wearing a black suit, Chen Yao walked into the venue. The ceiling above his head was dotted with stars, making it look like the Milky Way night sky.
Tonight, the awards scene was decorated with a sense of futuristic technology. Even the on-site staff were dressed in robot costumes, and there were some very funny-looking alien costumes.
"Great writer, you are here." A smiling middle-aged man walked towards him. He was Luo Kun.
Since the publication of his first novel, he has been Chen Yao¡¯s editor. Without his professional services, the novel would not have had such good sales and influence.
Chen Yao is very grateful to editor Lao Luo.
Chen Yao said in a calm tone: "I'm not a writer yet, am I?"
Many big-name novelists came here tonight, some of whom have been best-selling authors for decades and have won several Galaxy Awards.
Chen Yao feels like an author, not a writer in the true sense.
Luo Kun said with a serious face: "You are too humble. If the first book became popular because of luck and was short-lived, but the second one is still a hit, it fully proves your strength."
"With the sales of your books and the attention of the industry, you are a well-deserved author."
Lao Luo is a senior editor in the industry, and what he tells is the truth.
Chen Yao nodded and sat in the front row of the venue under the guidance of the staff.
The guests, writers, and readers attending this science fiction conference entered and took their seats one by one. The venue, which can accommodate 3,000 people, was packed with seats.
In addition to the leaders of the conference, most of the people in the front row are science fiction writers, and their works have been shortlisted for this year¡¯s Galaxy Award.
"The two novels written by Chen Yao, "My Wandering Earth" and "My Wandering Earth 2" have both entered the candidate list.
The former is a short story and the latter is a long story.
They all belong to the same series. The editor Lao Luo called it the Wandering Trilogy. The reason why it is called a trilogy is because there is another one and the last one that has not been published yet.
¡°I wrote two science fiction books in one year, and both were shortlisted for the Galaxy Award, which is unprecedented. As for the third book, I already have a rough idea, but Chen Yao is not in a hurry to write it.
The beautiful host on the stage is wearing a half-animal costume. The upper body is human-shaped and the lower body is octopus-shaped. It looks like a unique creature from other planets.
She spoke enthusiastically into the microphone: "Ladies and gentlemen, we gather together again for the annual Galaxy Awards Ceremony to welcome our science fiction fans"
Chen Yao looked at the stage and said, "Lao Luo, do I have a high chance of winning the grand prize?"
"Don't even think about the Galaxy Award." Luo Kun said calmly: "You still have a chance at the Newcomer Award."
Chen Yao's mentality is very calm. He knows that he is a newcomer and the chance of winning the grand prize is not high. It would be good if he can win a newcomer award.
¡°After all, you only get one chance for the Newcomer Award in your life. No matter how good your writing is in the future, if you can¡¯t win the Galaxy Award for the first time, you won¡¯t be able to win this award in the future.
As for the highest award of the Galaxy Award, even if you don¡¯t get it this year, you still have a chance next year. If you don¡¯t get it next year, you¡¯ll get it the year after.
¡°Just because I come from another parallel earth and have a lot of top science fiction novels in my head, I will be able to defeat the indigenous writers of this world sooner or later.
And if you miss the Newcomer Award, you will really miss it for a lifetime.
Luo Kun reminded: "This year there are many newcomers in the science fiction world. To be honest, even if it is a newcomer award, your chance of getting it is not even 30%."
"Isn't it? So low?" Chen Yao was a little surprised.
Among newcomers, is there anyone with better book sales and more fans than mine? More praised by the industry?
Luo Kun pointed to the distance: "That Ding Zeguang is a top student at Peking University and a newcomer. The sales volume of his science fiction books is no less than yours."
Chen Yao followed his finger and saw that the tall and thin boy wearing silver-rimmed glasses was the top student of Peking University? !
¡°Does writing a novel require a high degree of education?¡±
Luo Kun said without hesitation: "If it is a novice on the Internet, you can succeed if you write it randomly, but writers of physical books need to use their brains."
""
You, a physical book editor, underestimate online novels too much.
Chen Yao said: "Lao Luo, online novels are not that easy to write. If you try, you won't even be able to get signed in a minute."
Luo Kun: ""
He thought about it seriously: "Well, I really don't understand online novels. But science fiction writers who write physical books need scientific rigor. If they have a high degree of education, they can write science fiction in a more realistic and scientific way."
"Take Ding Zeguang's "The Past of Mars" for example. He wrote about the atmosphere and geographical evolution of Mars very scientifically. He himself is an astronomy student at Peking University."
Chen Yao glanced at Ding Zeguang and wanted to know a question: "Is his novel more popular than mine?"
Luo Kun thought for a while and said, "It's hard to say who is more popular, but his books do have higher sales than yours."
High book sales don¡¯t mean anything. In addition to the quality of the book itself, sales also require good promotion and marketing.
"But Chen Yao didn't do much to promote the books he wrote, and he didn't even attend the events at the book buying center.
Lao Luo pointed to the right: "That's Dai Kangming, an associate professor of the Department of Physics at Tsinghua University. He wrote a science fiction novel that is also very popular. He is also your competitor."
It¡¯s really unexpected. The one from Peking University on the left and the one from Qingdao University on the right are both best-selling science fiction writers. They were both published in the same year as myself, and they are now competing with me for the Newcomer Award.
No wonder it¡¯s not easy to win the Newcomer Award.
The beautiful host on the stage smiled and said: "In the past year, a large number of outstanding new writers have emerged in the science fiction world. Both the quantity and quality have been greatly improved compared to previous years. This year's Best Newcomer Award for Science Fiction is the most competitive. of."
"Now I would like to invite Vice President Gao Derui of this conference to come to the stage to announce the results."
A middle-aged man wearing gold-rimmed glasses walked onto the stage. He is the editor-in-chief of Science Fiction World magazine and the vice president of this conference.
Originally, Chen Yao came here with a normal heart, but as the list of winners was about to be announced, he began to feel nervous and clenched his fists.
Chairman Gao took the envelope and pulled out the card: "The best newcomer of this year's Galaxy Awards is"
He raised his voice and announced: "The writer of "My Wandering Earth", Chen Yao!"
"Wow" Thousands of people in the audience burst into applause at the same time!
Chen Yao¡¯s eyebrows rose with joy and he breathed a sigh of relief.
He walked onto the stage with a smile, stood next to President Gao, and received the trophy.
"Congratulations! The best newcomer in the Galaxy!" The beautiful host congratulated: "Tell me about your acceptance speech."
