Xiangxue Aisha came over with a pair of colorful balls and rubbed Chen Yao's body. She looked more excited than Chen Yao.
In order to support her idol, this Japanese stewardess came here to act as a hostess and brought two colored balls to support him.
After being rubbed by her until he felt comfortable all over, Chen Yao smiled and said, "Thank you!"
"Come on, come on! You are the best, and you will be the biggest winner tonight!" Xiangxue Aisha covered her fists with a strong sense of trust in Chen Yao.
Chen Yao stood up and walked towards the stage.
? Received the medal from the host. Except for the Hugo Award, which will award a trophy, all other awards are a medal.
The Best Potential Adaptation Award.
The host smiled and asked: "Chen, is there anything you want to say?"
Chen Yao took a deep breath and said: "Thank you for the medal awarded by the conference, which is an affirmation of the value of the adaptation of "Surviving Mars"."
It was a very brief acceptance speech, but when Silov listened, his face looked a little unhappy, and the smile on his mouth completely disappeared.
He was more optimistic about "Building a Planet" by Rojas and spent a huge sum of 80 million to buy it. As a result, the best adaptation was actually "Surviving Mars" by Chen Yao.
After returning to his seat with the medal and sitting down, Lin Yuhan immediately raised his cell phone to take a photo with him. Speaking of which, this was his first time participating in the Hugo Awards. It was already great to get a medal.
No matter whether he can get the highest prize in the end, tonight will not be a loss.
Silov glanced expressionlessly. From Tan's point of view, it didn't matter if he got the best potential adaptation. The bigger prize was yet to come.
Chen Yao currently only has one medal, while Roxas already has three. He is still a little behind.
The World Science Fiction Awards Ceremony is still in progress.
Host Wilson said: "The next award is presented, the Best Translation Award."
If a novel wants to succeed in markets other than the local market, translation is crucial, and may even determine its life or death. Many high-quality works ultimately fail in translation, resulting in mediocre response overseas.
If you want to translate your works well, you must not only have a high level of foreign language proficiency, but also be a half-writer.
The host directly announced the results: "The best translated work, "My Wandering Earth 3", translation unit, Jinchao Publishing House."
Luo Kun came to Japan specifically for this award. He went on stage to receive the medal on behalf of the publishing house.
"First of all, I want to thank Chen Yao." Luo Kun said with sincere eyes: "Without Wandering, this outstanding work would not have been sold overseas, and it would not have been able to win the Best Translation Award. While thanking me"
He delivered a long speech eloquently. If the host hadn¡¯t reminded him that he didn¡¯t have enough time, he could still have spoken for half an hour.
It was the first time for Lao Luo to attend a world-class science fiction awards ceremony.
He returned to his seat with the medal, and Lin Yuhan also took a photo with him and shared it.
The awards were announced one by one, and the awards ceremony began to reach its climax with the awarding of the Hugo Awards!
?Best Short Story, Best Novel, and Best Novel, with the Best Novel having the heaviest weight.
The host said: "The first award is for the best short story. There are a total of five shortlisted works. Please watch the big screen."
With the playing of light music, the book covers of five candidate works appeared on the big screen. Chen Yao had no works selected, and of course, neither did Rojas.
Wilson announced: "Best short story, writer of "Galactic Loop", Mitsuda."
From a Japanese writer, a boy wearing black-rimmed glasses came up to receive the award, gave a speech and walked off the stage.
Lin Yuhan quickly asked: "You have works shortlisted for the next novella and full-length novel, right?"
Chen Yao nodded: "Yes."
The most critical moment came. Lin Yuhan's face became tense and her fists clenched.
The big screen on the stage is playing the nominated works.
There are five movies in total, "The Other Side of the Black Hole", "Supermarket Tour", "Mutant Genes", "Blue Storm", and "Surviving Mars".
A man wearing a black formal suit walked onto the stage. He is the famous science fiction director Smith, who has made many science fiction blockbusters that have become popular around the world.
He took the envelope from the host, then opened it and read: "Hugo Award Best Novella, "Surviving Mars" Chen Yao!"
"You won the award, you won the award!" Lin Yuhan was even more excited than Chen Yao. She grabbed his arm and asked him to go on stage to receive the award.
Chen Yao StationAs he walked toward the stage, the audience stretched out their hands to shake hands with him and congratulate him!
The etiquette lady came again. Xiangxue Aisha took the colorful ball and rubbed it on his body. Chen Yao felt very comfortable all over.
Standing on the stage, Chen Yao took the trophy from the host. It was very heavy in his hand. It should be made of pure gold. Chen Yao held it tightly.
The host handed the microphone to his mouth: "Is there anything you want to say at this moment?"
Chen Yao cleared his throat: "If editor Luo Kun hadn't reminded me, I almost forgot about the Hugo Award, because I never had any hope, so winning the award is a surprise!"
After walking off the stage, Lin Yuhan immediately rushed over to take photos with him with his mobile phone. He took many photos of him holding the trophy from different angles and then shared them.
Silov is still very calm. What he values ??most is the best novel. As long as Roxas gets it, nothing else matters.
As the awards ceremony reached its climax, the discussion in the live broadcast room became more and more intense.
"Congratulations, boss, he finally won the award. Didn't someone just mock him for not getting anything? Hahaha, you don't dare to speak out now?"
"It's just a novella. The biggest Hugo Award is Best Novel. Rojas is much better than him. He will definitely lose."
¡°If you look at the online voting, you will know that Rojas¡¯s work is more popular, but well, it¡¯s good to win a novella.¡±
The host at the scene began to read out the list of nominations, which were also five:
"The War in the Microbial World", "Alien Creatures Invade the Earth", "The Last 30 Days of the Doomsday World", "My Wandering Earth 3", "Building a Planet".
Each one is a best-selling work all over the world, and those who can be included in the nomination list are strong players in the industry, representing the highest level of science fiction literature in the world today.
An old man with white hair walked onto the stage. He was Ors, the president of the World Science Fiction Association, a very important figure in the industry.
He took the envelope, opened it, and pulled out the card.
The scene became very quiet, and I didn¡¯t dare to take a breath, waiting for him to announce the result.
Lin Yuhan and Luo Kun were so nervous that they were sweating on their foreheads.
The opportunity may only come once in a lifetime. Chen Yao sat upright and closed his breathing.
Ors glanced at the audience and announced loudly:
"The 73rd Hugo Award for Best Novel, "My Wandering Earth 3", Chen Yao!"
"Wow" The crowd of thousands of people in the audience burst into applause, like a wave crashing onto the shore! ! ! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
