Chapter 767 World Hugo Awards Convention {2}

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The Hugo Awards conference is being broadcast live around the world.

    Lin Yuhan opened the live broadcast platform, and her eyes widened in surprise at the number of people watching the live broadcast!

    More than 30 million people.

    It is very rare for an awards ceremony to attract so many people to watch. What¡¯s more, this is a science fiction literature award ceremony, not an Oscar or a Grammy.

    She turned around and asked Luo Kun next to her: "Does the Hugo Award ceremony have so many people in the world watching it?"

    Luo Kun shook his head: "In my impression, it's only about 10 million."

    "Then why are there so many this year?" Lin Yuhan's confusion became even more intense.

    Luo Kun looked at Chen Yao: "Maybe it's Chen Yao's drainage effect."

    There is really no other explanation other than this. It was his first time attending a science fiction awards ceremony, and every move he made attracted the attention of fans, most of whom came from China.

    The bus stopped at the stadium, and the three of them got off. Then, Rojas, who had red hair, also got off.

    The reporter who had been waiting for a long time quickly walked towards them with interview equipment. Those who could come to participate in the Hugo Awards were basically world-class science fiction writers.

    The most eye-catching one is Rojas. Before coming to the Tsai Hugo Awards, he had already swept multiple awards internationally with "Building Planet".

    He is the favorite tonight and has the highest voice online.

    His red hair is not the result of hair dye, but natural. There are not many people with pure natural red hair in the world.

    Reporters gathered around him to interview him. On the contrary, Chen Yao had no reporters here, so he was very happy and relaxed.

    A hostess holding a red ball came over. She smiled and winked: "Mr. Chen, we meet again."

    Chen Yao took a closer look and saw that the tall girl in front of him was the Japanese stewardess he saw on the plane yesterday?

    "How will you be here?",

    Xiangxue Aisha smiled and said: "I am the etiquette lady at the science fiction conference, and I am also your fan. I have been waiting for you here for a long time."

    Chen Yao smiled and nodded, then followed her into the venue.

    "Come on, I support you!" Xiangxue Aisha smiled, and she went to entertain other guests.

    Chen Yao sat down in the front row near the middle, with Lin Yuhan and Luo Kun on his right.

    "And on the left is Ilov. I had a conflict with him in the morning. They were placed so close. I wonder if it was deliberately arranged by the conference?

    Silov chuckled: "You must regret it, but I know you won't admit it."

    "No. This is true, although you won't believe it." Chen Yao looked at the stage with a calm expression.

    "Actually, think about it seriously." Silov said: "Your book is not worth 60 million at all. I am glad that I did not buy your copyright."

    Chen Yao asked back: "Is it a smart decision for you to buy "Building a Planet" for 80 million?"

    "Yes, I am convinced." Silov said confidently: "It will definitely win and is the biggest winner tonight. On the contrary, your work will fail completely."

    The prize money of the Hugo Award itself is not much, and its greater value is the blessing of honor.

    Once you win the Hugo Award, the value of the novel will soar, sales in bookstores will also increase, and the value of the film and television adaptation will also increase.

    After buying the copyright of "Building Planet", Silov was even more eager to win the award than the author Rojas.

    To put it bluntly, he is a naked capitalist who pursues maximization of profits. Once "Building Planet" wins an award, not to mention how much box office it can get, at least it can defraud a large wave of investment.

    "Hi, welcome everyone to the annual Hugo Awards Ceremony, and join us to enter the wonderful world of science fiction!"

    The host came on stage, wearing a heavy space suit, looking like an astronaut. Of course, the suit was just a prop.

    He is Wilson, who was also a Hugo Award-winning writer. The conference invited him to be the host of this conference.

    There were more than 10,000 spectators present, and the auditorium was packed with people. They waved their light sticks and shouted Wilson's name loudly.

    Wilson smiled and said: "Everyone has been waiting for a long time. We will immediately award the first award, the Best Internet Popularity Award."

    This award is not an official selection, but an online vote. Whoever gets the most votes will get this award.

    It was almost ready to come out, and the audience already knew who was going to win the award?

    The host shouted: "Best Internet Popularity Award,"Building a Planet" author Rojas Poole.  "

    Instantly there was applause.

    Rojas is the most famous and has the highest sales volume of his works. There is no doubt that he won the award.

    He stood up, straightened the collar of his suit, shook hands with Silov beside him, and then walked to the stage to receive the medal.

    Roxas smiled and said: "Thank you for the award given to me by the conference. Although this is not what I want most, I am still very grateful"

    The foreigner speaks so frankly, without any concealment. It is indeed not what he wants most, but he still accepts it.

    Then, the best art cover was awarded.

    There is no Best Newcomer Award in the Hugo Awards. Anyone who can enter the world-class stage and participate in the election cannot be a newcomer, so the conference did not set up this award.

    Good art covers are also an art. This award was awarded to a Japanese soft science fiction work called "Travel Around the Universe".

    ?Then the awards were announced one by one, and Rojas won two more insignificant awards.

    Although it is not the most important, it is at least better than Chen Yao. Until now, he has not gained anything.

    The online live broadcast has become a hot topic.

    "The situation is a bit pessimistic. Logically speaking, "Surviving Mars" is good in all aspects. How come it doesn't have any awards yet? How about it win a cover art award?"

    ¡°Most of the Hugo Award judges are Westerners, especially the United States, who have always been biased against Chinese literary works.¡±

    "I can't say I'm biased. From a Chinese perspective, I can't read many foreign works. I feel a little incomprehensible, but foreigners can enjoy them."

    "This type of award ceremony is a typical Western perspective. It is normal not to win the award."

    "Looking at what you said, Chen Yao is definitely going to lose. I hope the loss won't be too ugly. At least he can keep a pair of underwear and get some consolation prize."

    Netizens are discussing that the awards are still going on and the awards are becoming more and more important.

    Wilson on the stage already had the winning card in his hand, and he glanced at it.

    "Fans all hope that their favorite works can be adapted on the screen. So, which work has the best potential for adaptation this year?"

    He read loudly into the microphone: "Best Potential Adaptation Award "Writer of "Surviving Mars", Chen Yao!" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
