Perhaps it was the excitement of the diamond treasure chest. Even though this task might take several years to complete, Lin Yuan still yearned for it!
In the next few days, Lin Yuan gave lessons to his three apprentices every day.
Full of motivation!
And time unknowingly came to June.
This day.
Weizhou.
The Internet suddenly became lively.
Because the results of the annual Galaxy Awards will be announced tonight!
People from other continents don’t care much about the Galaxy Award, but people from Weizhou take this award very seriously.
Just look at the sales ranking of Wei Zhou’s novels.
In the entire Weizhou book market, 70% to 80% of the most popular novels are science fiction!
Many people here have been reading science fiction since childhood.
The worship of science and technology has always been the main theme of Weizhou culture.
Therefore, the Galaxy Award, which other continents do not care about, has already touched the hearts of countless Wei people before it even started!
“I wonder which big guys will win the awards this year!”
"I'm optimistic about Hu Yan Dabao. The book 'Mechanical Heart' that Hu Yan wrote last December is so wonderful!"
"I think Zhang Yi's book is also good."
"This thing is hard to guess, we have too many big guys in Weizhou!"
"It's not just us in Weizhou."
"Zhongzhou also has works submitted for the competition."
"From last year to this year, Zhongzhou has indeed produced a number of high-quality science fiction works."
"Do you think any of Qin, Qi, Chu, Yan, Han, Zhao, or Jizhou's works will win awards?"
"Except for Zhongzhou and Weizhou, there are not many writers from other continents who can win the Galaxy Award."
"Two years ago, there was a person in Hanzhou who won an award."
"This year, a writer named Chu Kuang from Qinzhou also wrote two science fiction short stories. I personally think they are pretty good."
"What good science fiction can Qinzhou have?"
"Needless to say, this year will definitely be another science fiction war between Weizhou and Zhongzhou."
Wei Zhou is used to it.
Every year, Zhongzhou and Weizhou compete for the Galaxy Award.
Works from other continents would occasionally appear, but the overall probability was very low, and it would take several years for a work from other continents to appear.
Most of the time, science fiction works from other continents only get nominated.
There are less than eight projects in the Galaxy Awards, but there are dozens of nominations.
For any award, nomination and winning are two completely different concepts.
Having said that.
The other continents don't care about the Galaxy Award, not because the award is not important.
The main reasons are:
There are simply not many writers from other continents who are qualified enough to compete for a major award like the Galaxy Award.
In more cases.
Science fiction writers from each continent only care about science fiction awards in their own continent.
The value of the award is indeed not as good as the Galaxy Award, but at least I am qualified to participate, even if it is just for my own entertainment.
Many fake awards exist just to entertain some people.
It is normal for the selection process to be irregular and non-transparent, so there are always some shameful jokes.
certainly.
After all, there is still some integrity in the awards held by the continent.
Rather than entertaining themselves, the fundamental reason why each continent insists on holding science fiction awards is to hope to stimulate the creative enthusiasm of science fiction writers in the continent by increasing competition.
There is fierce competition among the continents of Blue Star.
Literary and art associations are consciously intensifying internal competition.
No continent wants to lag too far behind other continents in a certain field, and they will eventually try their best to catch up.
…
Qinzhou.
After teaching the three apprentices, Lin Yuan also received a call from Jin Mu: "Wei Zhou invited us a few days ago, hoping that you can attend the award ceremony. I have already declined. The editor-in-chief of the science fiction department of the Silver Blue Library will go there."
"OK."
What happened a few days ago.
Kaneki just said it today.
It’s not because Jinmu was negligent at work, but because Lin Yuan was destined to not be able to attend any award ceremony as Chu Kuang.
Whenever there was something that required Chu Kuang to show off, Jinmu would simply turn it down.
"The awards ceremony is tonight."
Jin Mu smiled and said, "If you are interested, you can watch the live broadcast on Weizhou TV Station No. 1 at 7:30 tonight. I think we have a chance of winning the prize."
"Weizhou First Television Station?"
"Of course, don't underestimate the influence of the Galaxy Awards. Every year, Wei Zhou broadcasts the Galaxy Awards live during the highest-rated time slot."
"knew."
Lin Yuan hung up the phone.
After all, it is a science fiction award, it would be a lie for Lin Yuan to say that he doesn't care.
Even if we don't consider the honor, we still have to consider the system's reputation.
night.
Half past seven.
After Lin Yuan finished dinner, he was about to go upstairs to check the results of the Galaxy Awards when his sister Lin Xuan suddenly sat on the sofa and said, "Let's watch Weizhou No. 1 TV tonight."
Lin Yuan, who was about to go upstairs, stopped.
Nan Ji jumped onto the sofa and occupied a seat in advance.
“Hey!”
My mother was not happy: "I still want to catch up on the drama."
Lin Xuan said, "Weizhou No. 1 TV station will broadcast the Galaxy Awards ceremony live tonight. Our company has submitted a work to participate, and we may win a prize."
"Please forget it."
My mother said, "Do you think I don't know what kind of science fiction we are in Qinzhou?"
The sister next to him nodded: "It's good to get a nomination."
Okay.
The people of Qinzhou have a very high level of awareness.
Even my mother knows that Qin Zhou is not good at science fiction.
Lin Xuan glanced at Lin Yuan: "This work that is participating in the selection was written by Chu Kuang."
"look!"
My mother immediately became excited: "This Chu Kuang is Xiao Yuan's friend. Xiao Yuan's friend will definitely win the prize!"
My sister didn't say anything, but she was already sitting on the sofa.
Lin Yuan simply sat down next to Nan Ji and stroked the dog's fur while staring at the TV.
The TV is on.
soon.
The award ceremony has begun.
After watching the awards ceremony, my mother felt sleepy. She doesn’t read science fiction novels. “What’s the title of Xiao Yuan’s Friend?”
“The Martian.”
Lin Yuan signed up consciously.
My sister said, "I don't think this work was mentioned."
Just at this moment.
Another award is coming up.
This award is called the Best Science Fiction Medium or Long Novel Award.
The host read out four nominated works, including "The Martian".
“It’s coming out!”
“I’ve already received the nomination!”
“Will I win a prize?”
"Woof!"
The whole family stared at the TV.
The host on the stage looked at the results in his hand and smiled unexpectedly:
"The winner of this year's Galaxy Award for Best Medium-Length Science Fiction is The Martian, a novel by Qinzhou writer Chu Kuang. Congratulations to Chu Kuang for becoming the fourth writer in Qinzhou's history to win the Galaxy Award. It's been five years since someone from Qinzhou won the Galaxy Award!"
The whole family cheered immediately!
Chu Kuang is Lin Yuan’s good friend. For his family, Chu Kuang’s winning an award is just like Lin Yuan’s winning an award, and it is worth celebrating!
Although it was indeed Lin Yuan who won the award.
"Hurrah!"
Antarctica jumped three feet high.
Lin Yuan immediately glanced over.
Good job Antarctica!
This is an attempt to inform on someone!
This dog seems to know a little too much!
“Woo woo woo.”
Antarctica suddenly wilted.
