Grandpa's great writer

Chapter 665 The most cunning in the world is the reporter

"At eight o'clock in the evening local time in Wellington, the Hugo Awards Ceremony started on time. At the awards ceremony, Chinese writer Zhang Zhong's sci-fi masterpiece "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea" and "Three-Body 2 Dark Forest" won the Hugo Awards for Best Novel at the same time Fiction Award. This is the first time since the Hugo Awards were drawn that the same author won the same award for different works at the same time. It is worth mentioning that Zhang Zhong also broke the 31-year-old record set by Thomas Alder Hewiert. With a record of 2023 months, he became the youngest winner of the Nebula Award in history. He just broke the record set by Thomas at the Nebula Award a year ago. At the end of the ceremony, Zhang Zhong, as a representative of the World Science Fiction Convention, announced on the spot the [-] As a result of the host city of the World Science Fiction Convention in [-], Jiangyang City finally won this honor after a year of hard work...Let us watch the live interview video of our reporter."

The CCTV news channel took 5 minutes to broadcast the news of the Hugo Awards.

In the subsequent interview video with reporters, Zhang Zhong stood in front of a signature wall, accepting interviews with reporters with a smile.

"Pz, may I ask if your two books won the Best Novel Award at the same time, do you have any special feelings?"

Zhang Zhong looked at the reporter who asked the question. He was a chubby man who didn't look very smart.

"My thoughts are all in the acceptance speech. If you are interested, you can find the video on the official website and watch it later."

"Have you ever thought about getting two awards?"

"No." Zhang Zhong shook his head. He really didn't expect the World Science Fiction Convention to be so generous.

"When Llorente was interviewed just now, he mentioned that you talked about black holes when you chatted just now. Does this mean that your next novel is about black holes?"

Zhang Zhong was not the first to be interviewed. Before he was interviewed, people from the "Losers Club" had already been interviewed.

The so-called losers club refers to those who did not win.

When the "Winners' Club" took a group photo on the stage before, these people had already begun to be interviewed.

Zhang Zhong said with a smile, "Don't listen to Daniel's nonsense. In fact, he has his own ideas about this. Maybe you will be able to read his new book after a while."

"When did you meet Llorente? It seems that you are very familiar."

Zhang Zhong looked at his watch and said, "It has been about three hours and six minutes since I met Llorente."

"You mean this is the first time you two met at the Hugo Award Ceremony?" the reporter asked in surprise.

"Yes."

"Penny Austin said in an interview that she wanted to date you. If she asked you, would you accept it?"

Zhang Zhong shrugged his shoulders, "I don't know, because she hasn't invited me yet, if she does, I'll tell you next time we meet if you accept it, okay?"

"What do you think of Penny Austin?"

Zhang Zhong looked around, and then said in a slightly unfriendly tone, "Am I attending a gossip press conference in the entertainment industry? You have traveled all the way to Wellington to attend the World Science Fiction Convention just to know what I think about Penny Austin. What do you think?"

It's not to blame for Zhang Chong's anger. The questions these reporters asked were really unlevel.

It would be fine if those gossip reporters from the entertainment circle asked these questions, but there is one person here, either a reporter from a local authoritative TV station, or a reporter from some science fiction literature organization, they shouldn't ask such unnutritious questions.

The moment he was so angry, it still had some effect, and the next problem became much more normal.

"pz, Jiang Yang finally overwhelmed Chicago to win the right to host the World Science Fiction Convention next year. As a Jiangyang person, do you have any special feelings? You announced the result yourself. Does this mean that you have already Got the result?"

Finally, there was a question that was not bad, and Zhang Zhong replied, "Before Chairman Hilde gave me the card, I, like you, did not know the result. Jiang Yang was able to successfully apply for the illusion. As a Jiangyang person, I Of course I am very happy. Jiangyang is a city that is developing at a rapid rate, and it is changing every day. Its future is promising, and it is also full of uncertainties. I think the leaders of the conference also took a fancy to this, so they will do it Make such a decision. Just like science fiction, the uncertain future is the eternal theme of science fiction. It is because of various uncertainties that there are those fascinating fantasies. Welcome friends who have never been to Jiangyang. If you visit Jiangyang, you will not be disappointed."

"Many people think that Jiangyang's success in applying for fantasy this time is entirely because you are from Jiangyang. What do you think about this statement?"

"Oh? I haven't heard of this statement. I don't know who you are referring to. But I think even if there are these people, they probably don't know much about Jiang Yang, so they made such a statement. Irresponsible speculation. In fact, Jiangyang is now fully capable of hosting the World Science Fiction Convention. Moreover, Jiangyang has a very solid sci-fi fan base. I think next year when the Science Fiction Convention is held, it will be a lively event."

When the reporters heard Zhang Zhong's answer, they all slandered in their hearts. This was obviously nonsense.

If it wasn't because Zhang Zhong was in Jiangyang, Jiangyang would have been able to bid successfully?
Even leaving aside Chicago, there are so many cities in China, Jiangyang, as a second-tier city, how can it compete with other cities, even if the World Science Fiction Convention is held in China, it should be a big city like Yanjing Magic City .

But what the boss says is what it is, and the reporters below will not expose it.

Zhang Zhong accepted the interview for a while, then left from the interview area.

Llorente and Linde were standing at the entrance of the theater. When they saw Zhang Zhong passing by, they said with a smile, "Are you interested in attending the loser's party?"

Fallout party?
Zhang Zhong had never heard of this kind of thing, he raised the two trophies in his hand, "Is it suitable for me to go like this?"

Llorente said with a smile: "You can share these two trophies between me and Linde. The two of us will go to the winner's party and you will go to the loser's party."

"I have no objection." Zhang Zhong shrugged his shoulders, then handed the trophy in front of them, "Here, here you are."

Seeing Zhang Zhong being so forthright, both of them laughed.

"There is no party. But if you are interested, let's walk together? We haven't finished talking about black holes before, and I just had a new idea." Llorente said as he walked.

Zhang Zhong followed with the trophy, "Speaking of black holes, did you lie to them in the interview just now that I was going to write about black holes?"

"Is there? Those reporters must have lied to you. You also know that the most cunning in the world is the reporter..."
