Grandpa's great writer

Chapter 825 A New Record
Huang Lei was indeed joking, how could he understand micro-expressions.

Besides, although Zhang Zhong probably knew the result, there was no other expression on his face except for the same smile as when he won the award just now.

Several works shortlisted for the Novella Award were played on the big screen, namely "The Far Side of the Earth", "Green Soil", "The Sun of Akpohan", "Ten Years of Calamity", "Bright Stars" and "Lightning".

Novellas are more popular than short stories, but not by much.

Of the six works, only three sold well.

They are Feng He's "Far Side of the Earth", Penny Austin's "Green Soil" and Sokoya's "Lightning".

The other three books are much different in terms of fame and sales, so this year's novella hits are these three books.

However, among these three people, Feng He has the lowest international reputation, and he only showed a little bit of international fame in the past two years.

On the other hand, Penny Austin and Sokoya are frequent visitors to the Nebula Awards and have a large number of fans around the world.

After the video was played, Zhang Zhong opened the card in his hand, and then he smiled.

"He laughed!"

Huang Lei in the live broadcast room suddenly called out.

Li Qin smiled and said, "Teacher Huang, did you see the micro-expressions again?"

The host Hu Gang said, "This is not considered a micro-expression, it is already obvious."

The barrage is also being swiped at the moment.

[He laughs. 】

【He laughed, he really laughed. 】

Zhang Zhong on the stage didn't hold back, and announced the results directly, "The best novella of this year's Nebula Awards is "The Backside of the Earth". Congratulations to "The Backside of the Earth". Congratulations to Fenghe."

Hu Gang excitedly took out the manuscript he had prepared earlier, "Congratulations to Feng He, who has become the second Chinese writer to win the Nebula Award. "Backside of the Center of the Earth" is another work that is destined to be engraved on the stele of honor in the Chinese science fiction world It will be written into the monument together with many great works, such as "Three-Body Problem", "Dune" and "Wandering Sea Ball". And its creator, Feng He, can finally stand in front of this monument and Together, Zhang Zhong will add luster to the Chinese science fiction world..."

A novella award is not enough to make Feng He stand shoulder to shoulder with Zhang Zhong, but no one will care about this at the moment, they are willing to send the most heartfelt congratulations to Feng He.

After speaking the lines in one breath, Hu Gang took a breath, and then said, "It can be seen that Zhang Zhong is very happy. It seems that when he himself won the award, he has never seen such a bright smile on his face."

Hu Gang was right, Zhang Zhong was indeed smiling brightly at the moment.

Feng He had already stepped onto the stage, and Zhang Zhong greeted him with a smile on his face while holding the trophy that belonged to Feng He.

When Feng He walked over, Zhang Zhong was about to hand the trophy to Feng He, but unexpectedly, Feng He embraced Zhang Chong in his arms excitedly.

Zhang Chong was also taken aback by Feng He's sudden movement, he was rarely hugged by a big man like this.

But it is also understandable that Feng He was so excited, he never thought that he would be able to stand on this stage one day.

At this moment, Feng He felt that what he was hugging was not a person, but a monument, a monument that led Huaxia Science Fiction forward.

All changes start with the appearance of this man.

"Thank you."

Feng He whispered in Zhang Zhong's ear, these are the two words he has always wanted to say but never said.

Zhang Zhong patted Feng He on the back, "The stage now belongs to you."

Only then did Feng He let Zhang Zhong go, and then took the trophy from Zhang Zhong.

Zhang Zhong's task at this moment has been completed, but he didn't rush to go on, but stood behind and waited for Feng He to give his acceptance speech.

Holding the trophy, Feng He took a deep breath, and then said, "I feel like I'm in a dream. Just at the moment when I stepped onto the stage, for some reason, my mind suddenly jumped. A book by Zhang Zhong came out—Sophie's World."

"Is everything in front of me written by someone in the real world, or simply by myself? It is conceivable that an unsatisfactory science fiction writer imagines that one day he can stand on the highest stage of the science fiction world For this reason, he weaves a dream, and I am the protagonist of this dream."

Everyone can feel Feng He's excitement, and what he said is quite interesting.

Maybe this is what he really thinks, everything is just a dream.

"I can't prove whether my own existence is real or not." Feng He continued to say his acceptance speech, "I don't want to use cogito so I am to convince myself that I am real, I just want to say that if this It’s really just a dream, so let me keep this dream going.”

"many years ago……"

Feng He's acceptance speech was quite long, and he talked for about seven or eight minutes before he finally finished his speech.

Then Zhang Zhong followed suit and walked down the stage together.

"Sure enough, the company that signed Zhang Zhong is different. Even on the stage to receive the award, Feng He did not forget to advertise Zhang Zhong's book. I think after this award ceremony, many people will definitely show it. Read "Sophie's World" again." Hu Gang joked with a smile.

"When you put it this way, it seems that the Chinese writers who won the Xingyun Award are all from Zhang Zhong's company." Li Qin also laughed.

This is just a joke. After all, there are only two Chinese writers who have won the Nebula Award. Apart from Zhang Zhong himself, they are Fenghe, but Fenghe happens to belong to Zhang Zhong's company.

However, Huang Lei continued to follow the joke, "Ms. Li's meaning is obvious. We Huaxia science fiction authors should pay attention. If we want to win the Nebula Award, we have to sign with Zhang Zhong's company."

"Okay, I'm not joking." Hu Gang stopped the topic in time, "The next thing to be announced is the Best Novel Award, which is also the highlight of tonight."

Linde, who was in charge of presenting the awards, was already on the stage.

When Zhang Zhong came back just now, he found that Lin De was not there, and he was still wondering where this guy had gone. When he turned around, he found Lin De appeared on the stage.

This guy's mouth is quite tight. As the guest of honor for the Novel Award tonight, he didn't even say a word in advance.

After introducing several shortlisted works, Linde gently opened the card, and then said with a smile, "The award-winning author is a man."

This is nonsense, because the authors of the six shortlisted works for the Novel Award are all men.

Zhang Zhong rolled his eyes, how did this guy Lin De start to become "Penny".

"One more reminder to everyone, this author set a new record tonight."

new record?
Before everyone could react, Linde said with a smile, "Congratulations to pz for becoming the first author to win the Best Novel Award for three consecutive years. The winning work - Clockwork Girl."
