"For three consecutive years, the world cannot ignore the king of Chinese science fiction!"
Chen Jiaxuan is also a little troubled. The advantages and disadvantages are too great. The other party's willingness to use this condition to exchange shows that there is some sincerity, but if Lin Han wants to accept it, he will be hit by many slanders.
This time period is the most active time for overseas media. When these media members clicked on the nomination list to see what happened, they almost all realized the same thing: the Hugo Awards are going to make big news!
As soon as the detailed nomination list for the Hugo Awards was posted on the official website, their editor-in-chief immediately became busy, constantly allocating manpower to find ways to interview the Hugo Award organizing committee and Lin Han who was nominated!
"That's not true. I feel like I am praising you. The higher you are praised, the more some extreme people hate you. Although racial discrimination is politically correct in Europe and the United States, they will not mention it, but Deep down, I definitely don’t want to see you rise. In the past, there weren’t many things you could be criticized for, but if you win the Lifetime Achievement Award, they will probably criticize you as not worthy of the trophy.”
Zhou Yu yawned. Working the night shift was not an easy task, and only a little shrimp like him would suffer like this. Anyway, there are automatic fetch reminders for news, so Zhou Yu doesn't have to stare at the computer screen all the time to work, which would be too tiring.
He counted carefully on the screen with his fingers, "One, two, three, there are actually five nominations in total!"
As much slander as you can bear, you can bear as much praise as you can.
Moreover, Lin Han does not lack the recognition of the Achievement Award now. He has written so many world-class science fiction classics, how come he is not worthy of the Lifetime Achievement Award!
Not only the "Los Angeles Times" but also the "New York Times", "Washington Times", "USA Today", etc. have also taken action. This is definitely a big news that can attract readers to buy newspapers!
These TV stations and radio stations worked together, and the influential newspapers did not stop either!
Chen Jiaxuan knocked on the armrest of the chair with her hand, "Then do you think there are more people in the world who have read your novels, or more people who have not read your novels?"
"Let me put it into perspective, has the result been announced for the Hugo Awards?"
It was almost impossible for Lin Han to make a decision on such a big matter on the spot. After he hung up the phone, he said to Chen Jiaxuan seriously: "I thought he would ask me to give money or personal information in the end. He doesn’t look like a liar.”
"Hugo Award nominations announced, Chinese writer Lin Han achieves another great achievement!"
This was big news. Zhou Yu hurriedly began to compare the English translations. Fortunately, he was very familiar with the Chinese and English names of Lin Han's works. He just needed to search carefully for the works of other writers!
Before netizens could react, other domestic media also reported on it. They sent out the news at the same time. It can be said that they went out collectively!
Just now, the computer system automatically grabbed the news from the official website of the foreign media. With so many websites, Twitter, and Facebook reporting on one thing at the same time, the importance must be at the top of the list.
"I can't find any relevant information here. I just found the email I sent you to congratulate you on the Hugo Award last year. I followed that email to inquire. I'll find other channels to confirm!"
This is indeed the reputation that every science fiction writer dreams of, but if you cannot support this reputation, it will be fatal poison!
Now is the time to test Lin Han's reputation and test the world's acceptance of his identity as a writer!
The earth is so big, there is no difference between having Lin Han and not having Lin Han. He is probably just a fish in the ocean, and has minimal influence on the rotation and revolution of the earth!
In fact, there is no need to ask this question. Lin Han has so many readers around the world that there may be more than 100 million people. There will be more people who have heard of his name, but the rest of them don't care at all who a science fiction writer is.
Chen Jiaxuan tied up her hair. After thinking for a while, she said in agreement: "The Lifetime Achievement Award is more important than the Best Novel Award. You have already won the Hugo Award for Best Novel twice. The third one is It’s considered dispensable.”
Every media can get nominations for the Hugo Award, but whoever gets the interview or social commentary first is the most awesome thing.
Instead of guessing slowly, it might be better to go straight to the point, which may have different effects!
"Then do you think I will accept it or reject it?" Lin Han was rarely sure. Who made the Hugo Award jury drop such a big bomb on him
The British BBC TV station also has a dedicated agency in the United States. When several media here got the news, the BBC also broadcast it on a global scale. A Chinese actually won the Hugo Award for Lifetime Achievement. He is the youngest winner. !
This hurricane has been blowing from the United States to the rest of the world. In Europe and the United States, science fiction literary works are not a niche. In ordinary bookstores, science fiction and fantasy bookshelves account for about one-tenth of the entire bookstore.
"Hugo Award nominations announced, Lin Hancheng is the biggest winner!"
Lin Han waved his hand, "Let's talk about this award. They actually used the Lifetime Achievement Award in exchange for the three nominations for Best Novel, which is a bit strange."
As the American cable news network, CNN is a 24/7 news program. Any emergencies will be announced immediately on the program and its own news website.
In fact, this was the result of three nominations being deleted by the Hugo Award Committee. Otherwise, Lin Han's name might have been all on this list.
At 11 a.m. local time in the United States, which is close to early morning Beijing time, the belated Hugo Awards finally announced its nomination list for this year.
"Don't rush yet."
Everything must be considered in a clear and logical way, and living like that would be too tiring.
CNN TV station took the lead in announcing the news on Twitter, "Hugo Award nominations announced, Chinese writers received 5 nominations"
After getting Lin Han's permission, the Hugo Award organizing committee immediately took action. Chris, Billy, Kirk and others naturally wanted to minimize the reputational damage of the Hugo Award, so they simply removed Lin Han. Push it out as a shield.
…
After much deliberation, Lin Han was too lazy to do these detailed thoughts. He simply said: "It doesn't matter if you are not sure whether they are true or false. Just agree. When the nomination list is announced, you will know the identities of these people." Is it true? As for the Lifetime Achievement Award, if they dare to hand it out, I dare to accept it!"
When he got up to get a cup of black coffee and came back, he was about to play a game of Honor of Kings. After all, almost all the primary school students had fallen asleep at this time. But when he accidentally raised his head and glanced at the computer screen, the matched game was instantly forgotten...
Science fiction and fantasy literature has a wide audience, which means that the Hugo Award, the highest award for these two types of novels, attracts a lot of attention, and they also have extremely attractive titles from the media, which simply attracts all the attention!
Chen Jiaxuan nodded silently. If Lin Han wants to do this, then let's do it!
How much criticism must be received by a Lifetime Achievement Award winner who is less than thirty years old!
Therefore, we often see that some major events are announced first by them, and the news efficiency is very high!
"Otherwise, we can sum it up and make corresponding plans with the Propaganda Department. At least we must be prepared to guide public opinion."
As a reporter on duty, he only needs to report the news. Commenting on the news is the responsibility of the other senior editors and not his turn.
"Yeah, I'm only in my twenties now. Are you cursing me by receiving the Lifetime Achievement Award so early?" Lin Han said jokingly, "Curse me for not being able to write better science fiction novels in the future than I am now."
Lin Han said nonchalantly: "Anyone who has read my novel will know whether I am worthy or not!"
CNN was closely followed by several major public television stations in the United States, including CBS, NBC, ABC and other television stations. After all, the Hugo Award is a science fiction award based in the United States, and most of the previous award-winning writers are Americans.
"Lin Han: The well-deserved number one in science fiction in the world!"
The Los Angeles Times is the largest daily newspaper in the western United States and ranks among the top three in influence in North America. Although today's newspaper has been printed and sold, they quickly cooperated after seeing such important news.
According to the unspoken rules, as long as he doesn't fall asleep at night, no one will say anything even if he plays mobile games all night!
So the night owls who had not yet slept saw the news released by Sina News: "Shocked! The Hugo Award nominations are announced. Lin Han won the Lifetime Achievement Award and won four nominations!"
Because Lin Han has won a lot of Hugo Awards in the past two years, domestic media have also been popularized about what the Hugo Awards are. There will be no one who thinks that the Hugo Awards were awarded by the French writer Victor Hugo. Awards, they all know that this is a science fiction award.
Zhou Yu didn't care about playing games. His English level was quite good, so he went straight to CNN's news. He didn't know it. He was shocked when he saw it. Is Lin Han going to defy heaven?
To be precise, it was four nominations and one award. Zhou Yu was so excited that his hand in translating the words was trembling. This press release was actually not long to write, so he quickly finished translating the words!
Every newspaper has its own website. Reports in the form of websites are more timely and can provide rich and timely information of all kinds around the world!
In the Sina Newsroom, it was already early in the morning, and most of the office staff had gone home from get off work, leaving only two people on regular duty to deal with emergencies.
Best Novel Nomination: Lin Han's "Hyperion", Lin Han's "Inception", Best Short Story Nomination "Bring Her Eyes", Best Dramatic Performance Nomination "Immortality", and most importantly Lifetime Achievement Award, this one is not a nomination, but a direct announcement of the results!
"The youngest winner of the Lifetime Achievement Award, Lin Han conquers the Hugo Award!"
