Unintentionally, Lin Han did not expect that he would win the award, but the award-winning work was not "The Three-Body Problem" but the "I, Robot" that first made him famous.
Although Lin Han has never read this inspirational book, he has often seen its name on the Internet. Internet marketing is very good. Although some people like it and some people hate it, the sales volume has always been high. It was once on the ranking list. Position occasionally higher than his science fiction novels.
Maybe my ranking will be higher, but will I definitely have the remaining four spots? The lowest number of votes was 980,000, and the remaining votes must be over a million, and he began to worry.
Time waits for no one. While Han Tong was still immersed in excitement, the second work was quietly announced.
There were other people who made the same move as Zhou Ming. They all looked at the big screen with their mouths open. The two big characters "Three-body" appeared clearly on it, which couldn't be more conspicuous.
It's just that the announcements haven't been finished yet, so Lin Han can only sit on the chair and go on stage to receive the award later.
There is no book that can truly kill all readers. Even if it is one of the four famous classics like "Journey to the West", some people don't like to read it, let alone other types of works.
"Have you ever thought about "The Qin Empire"?"
Some online media even start editing and publishing the news the moment it is announced, which is much more efficient than print media and TV news.
Before the video started to sound, Lin Han stared at the poster and cover that appeared on the big screen with wide eyes. They were extremely familiar!
"The most touching novel, what will you do when you only have ten days left to live? 1.21 million readers felt that "Passing Through the World" made them think deeply about life... "
Several people at the table were regulars at the Writers' Annual Meeting, and they knew all the interesting things there. Lin Han was blind, and his knowledge was limited to the information he could search on the Internet, and there was no inside story.
"Who knows if they are using foreign IP addresses to cheat votes. It would be ridiculous if they were disqualified from winning by then."
The most popular writer of the year and the most popular work are both popularity awards. This award does not depend on the content of the novel, but on the author and fans of the work, so there are often some niche works and dark horses that stand out.
Compared with popularity, this type of youth literature is probably the most powerful, and it is difficult for the most mature readers to participate in such voting.
Standing out from the crowd, many writers originally classified Lin Han as an idol writer because he was young and handsome. Now it seems that everything is about strength, and it seems that a literary superstar is rising!
Under the catalysis of capital, the attraction of literary IP development far exceeds traditional perceptions. Chen Jiaxuan has rejected big bosses and large-scale investments more than once, just because Lin Han wanted to choose a better partner.
Although Chen Jiaxuan did not come to the awards ceremony, she was sitting on her sofa at home, putting her iPad on her lap and watching the live broadcast.
This movie is completely based on the Three Laws. In fact, it has nothing to do with the content of the novel. It just borrows the name of the novel. It is not based on the novel at all, but is influenced by the novel.
But he had already received the award, so he just grinned and did not jump up. That smile was very surprising.
According to the analysis of the people at the table next to them, these popularity awards are specifically used to reward popular fiction writers, and the subsequent annual masterpieces have little to do with popular fiction writers.
This is not only their personal honor, but also the result of the concerted efforts of readers of the work, who are all eager to win the award in an upset.
"I feel sorry for Qianqian, he was dragged down by a science fiction novel."
Some people even directly said the words "shady", which of course attracted some people who didn't know the truth to agree that any work they don't like that wins an award is a shady.
The high-spirited young man on the screen was returning from the stage to his desk. Lin Han played with the trophy seriously and immediately started chatting with the people around him.
"The composition of the votes for this work is very strange, because more than 40% of the 1.03 million votes were cast from overseas, which is the highest proportion among all award-winning works. It proves that the works written by our writers can also be liked by foreigners, "I, Robot" from Lin Han created the history of Chinese science fiction and even Asian science fiction. It was the first to win the overseas sales list and the first to win the Hugo Award. It contributed too many firsts, among which "Robot" is the top three. Law' was even listed as the biggest surprise of the year by Science magazine!"
Lin Han himself touched his chin and wondered who this could be.
There was congratulatory applause. Lin Han did not know the writer named Han Tong, but suddenly a table of people behind him became excited. A middle-aged man with a fat body and squinting eyes stood up from his chair excitedly. Get up and hug your friends around you, this will probably make it clear.
The short film immediately began to play on the huge screen. The exciting background music, pictures and broadcast tone instantly made the writers' hearts twitch.
Wu Yufan sighed, turned to his friend and said, "Although it's a bit off, it's good to win the award. I'll go to the forum to post my congratulations later."
Now that a big stone has finally fallen from his heart, Lin Han can basically lean back on his chair and watch peacefully. Such a high-profile win for the most popular writer and work award also made the media reporters extremely happy. Tomorrow’s topics are: .
"Will it be "Rampage History" or "Pipiru"? I think it might be a children's book."
"Fortunately, there are those foreign readers who help, otherwise we would still be far behind. It would be so suspenseful!" Zhu Yunxiao patted his chest, feeling lingering fear in his heart.
Lin Han was completely relieved at this time. He knew that he could not expect too much. Most people would leave empty-handed in the next year's meeting. He could at least have a trophy to comfort him.
"Loved by 980,000 readers, this year's most popular inspirational book, author Han Tong describes the confusion and struggle of youth with warm brushwork, giving guidance to restless, confused young people in the city. If you can't do it, If it makes you think deeply, then try to make you smile. If you and I record the details of youth growth every day and watch our own growth all the time, then we may be different. "Let Youth No longer Be Confused", the final A surprising book.”
Writer Chen Yujian, who had been silent all this time, suddenly shook his head, "Most writers will mention a few words to their friends, but I haven't seen any news of temporary invitations online yet. This may be confidential, or it may not be true."
As a screenwriter, he understands how difficult this is.
For Hanlin Academy fans, their mood is a bit complicated at the moment. "The Three-Body Problem" that they originally had high hopes for failed to win the award, while "I, Robot", which they had abandoned, counterattacked with the support of overseas legions. .
"1.33 million readers chose "Meeting the Best Self" as their favorite... "
Most of Lin Han's readers have similar thoughts in mind. I would like to thank those overseas readers who do good deeds without leaving their name, and thank those volunteers who take the trouble to publicize on Twitter, Facebook and even the SFF forum.
This was the first time in the decades since the Writers Annual Conference was held that Lin Han once again set a record, completely detonating the audience in just twenty minutes.
"What the heck, the overseas sales of "I, Robot" are way ahead of the domestic sales, okay? You have no idea how popular Lin Han's science fiction novels are abroad. I'll give you some popular science tomorrow."
Lin Han took a deep breath. His mind went blank. He had never thought about winning the award, but now it was a surprise again. Too many things appeared in his mind.
Zhou Ming has also read the novel that caused a stir on the Internet some time ago. He agreed: "This is indeed a dilemma. No wonder it became famous first, but the other two novels were adapted into movies."
"Everyone has a chance."
This is purely publicity for commercial value. Lin Han believes that this is a good movie, but it is not suitable to be called "I, Robot". Another name is more appropriate.
"I think the chances of "Dragon" are relatively high. Teenagers like to watch it."
"I always feel like there's something fishy here, so I won't comment yet to avoid being slapped in the face."
The colorful barrage has completely boiled over. A small number of viewers are posting barrage to celebrate the award of their favorite novel, while most of the barrage thinks that this should be regarded as a dark horse. Why did the work they supported not win the award
When Lin Han was thinking about the first place, he just excluded himself. He had never heard of a writer appearing on two works in the same year. This is simply a fantasy!
It's hard for every writer to believe that the most popular work of the year won two places, but it just happened.
In my first year of writing, I was able to participate in the annual meeting hosted by the General Administration of Press and Publication and win the first award. This can be called the best rookie. However, it is a pity that this award was not included in the award ceremony.
"Am I being blinded?"
At the annual meeting, Zhou Ming whispered: "Xiao Lin, you have a group of good readers. The overseas reader base is so good. If the novel is adapted into a movie, there will be a basic guarantee for the overseas box office."
She is not a competent literary agent. She has never taken the initiative to develop Lin Han's personal image. She allows Lin Han to be so lazy. Even other recognized great writers have to participate in many activities.
So Lin Han asked: "Are there any writers temporarily invited this year?"
"The Three-Body Problem tells the story of human beings before the arrival of aliens. It combines history with science fiction in sharp strokes, which is eye-opening. 1.5 million readers jointly chose this. This is Lin Han's moment. !”
Even though it advertises itself as an adaptation of the novel "I, Robot" and is shrouded in the aura of the "Three Laws of Robotics", it is actually scolded by science fiction fans.
Before Lin Han spoke, Zhou Ming on the side rubbed his eyes with his hands, as if he couldn't believe his eyes.
The first most popular work was announced, and Lin Han was both relieved and nervous at the same time.
While talking, the famous CCTV speaker began to introduce on the stage again: "To make art that the people like, come from the masses to the masses. Books and works are for the whole society, what kind of works are easy to get readers Favored? The most popular works of the year are jointly selected by more than 20 million readers. They are of different ages, regions, education levels and hobbies. Now we are about to announce the final results for you. Please watch the big screen !”
…
Lin Han told the truth that he once watched a science fiction movie "I, Robot" starring Will Smith on earth. This science fiction film swept the box office of nearly 400 million US dollars worldwide and achieved good results. .
Although this award was announced in advance, there was no suspense, but looking at the waves of praise from netizens and the elegant award speech, it seemed that all the hard work was worth it.
Of course, these media reporters may have written the manuscript long ago, and now they can just add some key data temporarily. They often do this kind of thing.
"Damn it, how could he be so lucky to trick foreign readers into voting for him?"
"This is not easy to shoot. "I, Robot" is a collection of nine short stories. Although the whole story is related, it would be very difficult to shoot them together. But we can only shoot one of them. The story line is very thin."
There are no walls in this world. Whether you are accessing foreign websites from home or accessing domestic websites from abroad, it is very fast. Readers from all over the world can use translation software to support this vote. Lin Han would be lying if he said he was not moved.
Whether you believe it or not, you can only admit this fact. Lin Han is going to win the award again.
"Why do I have no clue, which book it could be?" A writer muttered softly. He had no hope for his own book, but that didn't stop him from guessing the others.
The buzzing sound gradually expanded, and the big screen also revealed the suspense at this time!
"So have you guessed the most popular book of the year this time? There are five books in total, I hope you have a chance."
Regarding Lin Han's award this time, there was still applause at the scene, and at the same time there were many more inquiring eyes. The proportion of overseas votes was too high, which is hard to believe if it is real.
She knew that Lin Han valued the copyright conversion of these novels, and would rather not develop them for the time being than develop them indiscriminately. Everything was based on an attitude of striving for excellence.
"Not yet. I can't even see the votes in the voting. I can't find any sign at all. Once I remember that after the voting results came out, the organizing committee temporarily invited two more writers. Then everyone knew that they must have won the award, but But I was not eligible to participate in the annual meeting before.”
The short film continued to be introduced, and the writers, media reporters and even the audience in front of the computer screen held their breath. They wanted to see who the first-place work was. The suspense was a bit high.
