Chapter 846 Poor Llorente

"Here we come!" Hu Gang sat up straight, "The next thing to be awarded is this year's Hugo Awards..."

Hu Gang was introducing the nominations for this year's Hugo Award for Best Short Story, while looking at the scene of the ceremony.

It seems that Hilde did not present the best short story award himself, because Hilde has already stepped down from the stage. As for who the award presenter is, the stage is empty now.

Hu Gang was also a little hesitant, wondering if he should continue to introduce, if the best short story award is not awarded in a while, then he will be an oolong.

Luckily, Penny Austin walked onto the stage in no time and announced that the award for best short story was about to be presented.

The six shortlisted books were being introduced on the big screen. Hu Gang sorted out the manuscript in his hand and said with a smile, "The Best Short Story Award will be announced soon. Do you think it is possible for this year to be the same as last year? One award has two works winning?"

Li Qin said with a smile, "You can ask more boldly, will Zhang Zhong get two double-yolk eggs this year?"

"Ms. Li said so, I think it is really possible, after all, there was a double yolk egg last year."

Huang Lei shook his head, "This kind of situation is basically impossible. Last year's double-yolk eggs brought a lot of heat to the Hugo Awards. If it is done in the same way this year, it may arouse everyone's disgust."

Hu Gang said with a smile, "We are just joking, and I also know that this situation is basically impossible... Oh, the shortlisted books have been introduced, and now we can see that Penny Austin has opened the card in her hand... "

On the stage, Penny Austin held a card and smiled, "Congratulations Daniel Llorente..."

"..."

After Penny Austin spoke, people who were present or watching the live broadcast were a little confused, because this year Llorente did not have any work shortlisted for the Best Short Story Award.

Llorente in the audience was also stupefied, what the hell is this woman trying to do?

Penny Austin seemed very satisfied with the reactions of the audience, she continued with a smile, "Congratulations Daniel Llorente, your good friend pz won the Hugo Award for Best Short Story this year, and the winning work is "Yellow Card Man."

[This is a bend, I thought Penny Austin was going to forcefully give her boyfriend an award. 】

[What nonsense, Penny Austin is mine. 】

[I don't believe that she has nothing to do with Llorente, and I have to turn a corner to mention him when awarding an award. 】

[Fortunately, Llorente was not shortlisted this time. Wouldn't it be embarrassing if he was shortlisted? 】

……

In the live broadcast room, Hu Gang also wiped the sweat from his brow, "As expected of Penny Austin, no matter what the situation is, she can always raise the topic. After a false alarm, let us congratulate Zhang Zhong and congratulations to "Yellow Card Man" ". "Yellow Card Man", which just won the Nebula Award, once again won the Best Short Story Award at the Hugo Award, becoming another work that won two awards at the same time."

The radio rang in the auditorium, announcing the reason for the award of "Yellow Card Man".

Zhang Zhong stood up, shook hands with Linde and Llorente, and asked Llorente with a smile, "How about the two of us go up together?"

Llorente rolled his eyes, "Don't you think I'm not embarrassed enough?"

"Haha."

Zhang Zhong was relatively close to the stage, and he didn't have to get stuck on the broadcast. He walked up in a few steps and took the trophy from Penny Austin.

After Penny Austin handed the trophy to Zhang Zhong, she opened her arms to give Zhang Zhong a big hug, and Zhang Zhong took several steps back in fright.

"Don't, don't, I'm afraid Daniel will swallow me alive."

"He doesn't have the guts." Penny Austin smiled while covering her mouth, "Okay, I'll leave the stage to you, and I'll go down."

After she went down, Zhang Zhong walked up to the microphone and said, "It's a great honor to receive this award in my hometown. It means a lot to me. "Yellow Card Man" is an episode of "A Clockwork Girl". It is a story about an old man of Chinese descent, Chen Fusheng. This is very interesting. A novel about a man of Chinese descent won this award at the Hugo Awards held in China. Perhaps it can be regarded as a fate. I will not say much about thanks Now, please allow me to welcome all the friends who have come from afar as a host, and I hope you can reap happiness in these few days."

It was a very simple acceptance speech. After speaking, Zhang Zhong walked off the stage with the trophy.

For Zhang Zhong's acceptance speech, the audience who were watching the live broadcast expressed that they were not satisfied.

[Zhang Da's acceptance speech feels more and more casual. 】

[If you can win awards every year, you may be more casual than him. 】

[Even if you don't speak, it's better to stand on stage for a while longer. 】

[It's okay, won't there be a novel award in a while, I can't finish all the lines, otherwise what will I say in a while? 】

[I'm afraid I won't get the novel award. 】

[Bah, bah, bah. 】

【how is this possible. 】

[This year's ceremony held in front of the house, if the conference does not award the award to Zhang Da, it will be too disturbing for him. 】

[This should not happen. 】

[Winning too many awards is not a good thing. Now that I see Zhang Da winning the award, I no longer feel any excitement. 】

[If you don't get the prize, I guess you will be excited. 】

[Actually, it’s not. Even if Zhang Da doesn’t get the award, I don’t think it’s a big deal. Now he doesn’t need the recognition of these awards anymore. 】

[That's right. 】

……

Except for the episode made by Penny Austin, there was no accident in the short story award. It seemed that everyone knew that the award would go to Zhang Zhong. "Which one will win the award.

It now appears that the Hugo Award Organizing Committee and the Nebula Award Organizing Committee have the same opinion this time.

The novella award was awarded afterwards, and the winning work was the work of Penny Austin, who was previously shortlisted for the Nebula Award but was defeated by Feng He's "Far Side of the Earth".

The guest responsible for presenting the awards was Llorente.

In fact, when Llorente was told to be the presenter of the Novella Award, he already had a bad feeling. When he got the card in his hand and saw the results inside, his face immediately collapsed.

In sharp contrast to the itinerary, Penny Austin's smile is as bright as a flower.

Llorente handed the trophy to Penny Austin, who hugged her before she could leave.

Penny Austin's bold action caused booing from the audience, and Zhang Zhong and Lin De also applauded vigorously.It is estimated that Llorente alone could not be happy in the audience.
