Grandpa's great writer

Chapter 461 Revealed
"Long novella, Zhang Zhong got off to a good start!"

In the live broadcast room, Hu Gang couldn't help but patted the table and yelled loudly.

Those who shouted along with him, and the audience who were watching the live broadcast.

The barrage on the screen has frantically swiped up.

[Scatter flowers, sprinkle flowers! 】

[Scattering flowers. 】

[The cow is approved, and this makes history. 】

[Congratulations to Huaxia for winning the Nebula Award for the first time. 】

[I'll go, I really gave out a prize. 】

[Now that there is a guaranteed bonus, the rest doesn't matter. 】

[How can it be indifferent, you must win the novel award, the novella is not enough. 】

【Come on, get two awards at once. 】

[Three are also fine. 】

[Haha, that's too much, there's only one award left. 】

[Although there is one prize left, it can be won in parallel. 】

【This is impossible. 】

[Yes, such a thing has never happened before. 】

[Human, if you don't have a dream, what's the difference between you and a salted fish. 】

……

Hu Gang sorted out his emotions, and then said, "Congratulations to Zhang Zhong, and to "I, Robot". The moment the award-winning work was uttered from Penny Austin's mouth, a brand new historical record was presented in front of people. , Zhang Zhong not only became the first Chinese writer to win the Nebula Award in history, but also broke Thomas Alder Hewiert's record of 31 years and five months, becoming the youngest in history to win the Nebula Award This moment will definitely be recorded in the annals of world science fiction, and will also be engraved on the honor list of China's science fiction circle. Last year, it will also open a new era of China's science fiction. From then on, the Nebula Award will no longer be suspended The untouchable star above the Chinese fantasy literature world... Let us congratulate Zhang Zhong together, this moment belongs to Zhang Zhong, and belongs to Huaxia fantasy literature!"

When the last sentence was finished, Hu Gang's eyes were even a little moist. Although the manuscript was prepared in advance, reading it at this moment made people feel extremely emotional. At the same time, he was also relieved that the manuscript he had prepared was finally read out up.

In fact, there are still several manuscripts in front of him, all of which are prepared for different situations. He even prepared a manuscript for Zhang Zhong to win three awards, but it is a pity that this manuscript is destined to be useless. Can the manuscript of another two awards be used?

When Zhang Zhong stood up from his seat, the reason for the award was also played on the radio.

"First, a robot must not injure a human being, nor stand idly by while a human being is harmed. Second, a robot should obey all orders from a human..."

I have to say that the person who wrote the reason for this award was really trying to save trouble, and directly copied the three laws of robotics from "I, Robot".

But what has to be said is that the reasons for awarding such awards appear to be more convincing.

Since the release of "I, Robot", as time goes by, although there have been more and more criticisms of the three laws of robotics, the "True Fragrance Law" has been activated, and many writers can't help but quote it when writing novels about robots. With these three laws, even if some people have changed, the core has not changed.

Because even if someone comes up with the Four Great Laws and the Five Great Laws, after seeing it, everyone will still think of the Three Great Laws.

Because there was no rehearsal in advance, Zhang Zhong hadn't stepped onto the podium after the broadcast, and his point was not accurate.

Penny Austin stood on the awards platform and looked at Zhang Zhong with a smile.

When he walked up to him and was about to shake hands with the award presenter, Penny Austin actually came up to him and gave him a full hug.

Zhang Chong couldn't push her away, and he didn't have the bone shrinking skill, so he could only endure being attacked by the raging waves.

He couldn't help feeling that if he hugged Penny Austin by himself, he would probably be scolded to death tomorrow. Needless to say, women have this kind of privilege at this time.

"Congratulations, pz, you can think about my previous proposal."

Zhang Zhong left her embrace, took a step back slightly to keep a distance from her, "Congratulations to you too."

Penny shrugged her shoulders and handed the medal to Zhang Zhong, and then she stepped back, leaving the stage to Zhang Zhong.

Zhang Zhong held the microphone and said with a smile, "The actual trophy is better than the photo. Thank you to the organizing committee for awarding this award to me. I will definitely put it in the most conspicuous place in my room when I go back."

This time Zhang Zhong did not prepare his acceptance speech, but just played it casually. After boasting a wave of trophies, he continued, "Last year was an incredible year, because my first science fiction novel was published at the beginning of last year, and at that time , I have no way of thinking that this time this year I will stand on the highest hall of fantasy literature to accept the award. Thank you for giving such affirmation to a newcomer, and I will continue to work hard to create more and better works, If possible, I hope to come again this time next year, and finally I would like to thank my family, my friends, and all the readers and friends who support me, thank you."

The acceptance speech was very short, and Zhang Zhong spoke very quickly, probably only about 40 seconds.

The organizing committee did not stipulate the length of each person's acceptance speech. Before Zhang Zhong, Penny Austin took seven or eight minutes to finish her acceptance speech, which was more than ten times longer than Zhang Zhong.

After finishing speaking, Zhang Zhong was about to go down with the trophy, but was stopped by the host.

"Pz, please stop, you still have a task, which is to help announce the next award—the award for excellent novel."

Zhang Zhong was a little surprised, because the organizing committee hadn't told him about it beforehand. It stands to reason that since he was going to be the award presenter, he should have been notified in advance. Could it be that the Nebula Award is so random?
But since he said it, Zhang Zhong couldn't refuse, so he returned to the microphone.

The host handed over an envelope, "The award-winning works are on the card inside the envelope. After watching the shortlisted works in a while, you can announce the awards."

Zhang nodded, "Okay, got it."

He looked at the envelope in his hand, the card was inside, and he could immediately pull it out to see what the winning entry was, but instead of doing so, he held the microphone and said, "Okay, let's see now, Which works are shortlisted for the Outstanding Novel Award."

There are a total of eight shortlisted works for the Outstanding Novel Award, among which Zhang Chong has two, namely "Flowers for Algernon" and "Dune".

After Zhang Zhong led everyone to read all eight works, he turned around, opened the envelope, and took out the card.

The moment he took out the card, the live camera gave him a big close-up.

Zhang Zhong raised his eyebrows, a little surprised.

The people watching the live broadcast were very nervous at this time, they didn't know what Zhang Zhong saw.

Hu Gang swallowed, "Zhang Zhong has already opened the envelope containing the list of awardees. From his expression, it can be seen that he already knows what the award-winning works are, but apart from some surprise on his face, it is really obvious Nothing else comes out, no joy, no disappointment."

Everyone stared at Zhang Zhong's face, waiting for him to say the answer.

Zhang Zhong looked at the card and said calmly into the microphone, "The work that won the title of excellent novel is - Sand Dune."
