Grandpa's great writer

Chapter 662 Don't Worry, There's More to Come
The World of Mechanics is the representative work of the late science fiction writer Louis C. It is a series of works, with a total of seven books, spanning 15 years, basically every two years.

And this "Mechanics World" brought Louis five Nebula Awards and Hugo Awards.

This is undoubtedly a masterpiece of science fiction, and it is also a treasure of science fiction in the hearts of countless science fiction fans.

Moreover, this novel has also been made into a series of movies, seven of them. The total box office of this series is as high as 89 billion US dollars.

However, the author Louis had passed away three years ago, that is, not long before Zhang Chong returned to this world. At that time, Zhang Chong was very saddened to learn of the death of Louis. After all, Zhang Zhong was also a fan of Lewis.

Every year at the beginning of the Nebula Awards Ceremony, there will be mourning for the dead. In the past two years, there has been no mourning for Louis. Many book fans still have some opinions. I did not expect this link to be placed this year.

Hard Wade performed on stage for a while, and Heard went and returned, and began to lead everyone in mourning for Louis.

"He used to describe the world with adventure, and told the stars with science and technology. Many years ago, when Louis stood by the trading pier in his hometown, watching the sails of the cargo ships coming and going, a romantic fantasy of going to the world sprouted in his heart. Many years later, when he traveled all over the mountains, rivers, wind, rain, snow, fog, and spring, summer, autumn and winter, the real world could no longer..."

"Perhaps Louis' journey has not stopped, he just walked on a road that we can't understand and reach."

After the mourning session was over, the formal award ceremony began.

There are too many awards to be announced at the Hugo Awards Ceremony, and there are two non-Hugo Awards that will also be announced at the Hugo Awards, namely the Lumber Award for Newcomer and the Best Young Adult Novel Award.

At the beginning, the awards were given out with little sense of existence, such as Best Amateur Artist Award, Best Fan Podcast Award, Best Fan Magazine Award, Best Amateur Writer Award, Best Editing (long and short), and Best Best Professional Artist Award, Best Comedy Performance Feature Film Award, Best Comedy Performance Short Film Award, Best Picture Book, Best Related Works.

These awards are not important awards just by listening to their names.

After these awards have been issued, it is the awards for works that people care about.

The award for best short story was presented first, and the winning work was "A New Edition of Norse Mythology", written by Omar, a lesser-known female writer.

The winner of the best short novella is also a female author, and the winning work is "The Woman Who Steals the Tomato".

It must be mentioned that in recent years, the frequency of female writers winning Hugo Awards has also become higher and higher.

The Best Novella Award went to The Heart Door by Seanan McGuire.

"Heart Gate" is the first book that Zhang Zhong has understood so far, because it is also the winning work of this year's Nebula Award.The novel tells a somewhat dark story. The children in the book often appear inexplicably, and then appear in another place. If they pass through, they can never come back.

After the award of the novella award, it is not yet the turn of the novel award. Before the award of the novel award, three awards need to be awarded, namely the Lunbel Newcomer Award, the Juvenile Fiction Award and the Best Series Award.

After these three awards were awarded, it finally came to the highlight of the Hugo Awards-the Best Novel Award.

There are so many awards in the Hugo Awards, but there are often only a few awards that people can remember in the end.When most people mention the Hugo Award, they may only know one novel award.

"Good evening everyone, the moon is good tonight."

Llorente stood on the stage and said with a smile.

Of course there is no moon tonight, this is just a not-so-funny joke made by Llorente, but the people below are very supportive and laughed, cheering for the king of support, this is a kind of polite feedback.

Zhang Chong looked at Llorente on the stage and curled his lips unconsciously.

After the Lumber Newcomer Award was presented just now, he found that Llorente next to him had disappeared. He didn't expect this guy to run up to be the award presenter.

"It's the second time I've been on stage at the end of an awards show, but honestly, it felt better last time."

Llorente played with his own memes, and the last time he said was the time when he won the best novel award.

Of course I felt better last time, the presenter was never as bright as the smile on the recipient's face.

"Let's take a look at the few novels shortlisted for the Best Novel Award this year. The first one is "The Garden of the Kingdom of Rock", the author Enrique, my old friend, congratulations, for being able to write in such a fierce situation this year. Shortlisted, you are much better than me. The second book "The Fort on the Moving Castle", Valverde, I have to say that you are not very good at naming, if you publish another work next time, you can come and ask me, I'll give you some better options."

When Llorente talked about these two books, the camera also showed Enrique and Valverde. Facing Llorente's sarcasm, they could only smile in return, after all, they are old friends.

Llorente paused, and continued, "The third book is "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea", the fourth book is "Ender's Game", the fifth book is "Three-Body 2 Dark Forest", and the sixth book is "Bionics". Do People Dream of Electric Sheep?", when I first saw this list, I thought I had read it wrong. I was thinking, my God, can one person have four novels shortlisted at the same time? ? And then I thought, oh my god, does this guy write four novels a year?"

Shrugged his shoulders: "That's the reality, and they have written more than these few novels in a year. Enrique, Valverde, now you know why I said that this year's competition is so fierce, after all, even PZ There are two novels that were not shortlisted."

Everyone laughed, except for Valverde and Enrique, they really couldn't laugh at such black humor. If they didn't have a good relationship with Llorente, the two of them really wanted to go up and beat him up.

"Okay, let's look at the big screen."

The big screen is to introduce all the six shortlisted novels.

After the introduction of the six novels, Llorente smiled while holding the card, "The next exciting moment is, I announce that the work that won the Hugo Award for Best Novel this time is—"

Llorente drew a long tone, and then said forcefully, "Twenty thousand miles under the sea, congratulations pz!"

At this time, the theater applauded, and Zhang Zhong was about to get up to accept the award, but Llorente pressed his palm and said, "Don't worry, everyone, because I haven't finished reading the list of winners. There's a title, and it's—"

Another long sound.

"Three-Body 2 Dark Forest, congratulations to pz again."
