Paris, France, World Science Fiction Awards, Hugo Award Selection Committee.

The judges had "The Age of Diamonds," "Deadly Magic," and "Anomaly," published by Langdon.

According to the selection of ordinary members in the early stage, these three works have been welcomed by middle-aged and elderly long-form lovers, short story lovers and young long-form lovers respectively.

Now, the ownership of this crown of science fiction literature this year is decided by many well-known scholars and university professors.

"I originally wanted to choose this work, but the author suddenly announced his withdrawal. The head of the Department of Literature at the University of Oxford said as he put "The Age of Diamonds" away from the table.

"So this year's Hugo Award is going to be awarded to a short story?" asked one of the judges.

"Isn't there still 'Anomaly'?" the new youth judge shrugged.

"No kidding, although the sci-fi part of "Anomaly" is wonderful, what is more impressive is the interesting dialogue in it. ”

A professor of literature at the École Normale Supérieure de Paris, he retorted, "Many readers think that it is a comedy, more of a science fiction one. ”

Well, once a film is labeled as a comedy, it can basically be said goodbye to any literary award.

Just as no comedy film has won the three major film festivals and the Oscar for Best Picture, comedy is at the bottom of the chain of contempt.

"I just got a call from Mr. Joseph Keller who wants us to award the Hugo Award to Anomaly. This year's chairman-in-office, the head of the Department of Literature at the University of Cambridge, spoke slowly.

These words caused a commotion among the judges present.

"Mr. Joseph Keller?" was asked by the judges, puzzled.

Under normal circumstances, this writer with high prestige should not interfere with the selection of awards.

is like the famous writer Haruki Murakami, although he has been running with him many times, he has not tried to get in touch with the Nobel Prize for Literature judges in private.

This is definitely a shocking scandal for arrogant writers.

Who is this writer with a typical Chinese name? Is it worth asking Mr. Joseph Keller to abandon his years of insistence and take the initiative to promote public relations for the other party?

"Ahem," Mr. President coughed lightly, looking at the situation at the scene.

Then, he took out a stack of photocopied press notes from his briefcase and distributed them to everyone present.

When the judges received the briefing, they made a louder noise than before.

"The U.S. government actually passed a proposal to restrict the types of literary creation?"

"What are they going to do? to control public opinion and rebuild the Third Reich?"

The professor of literature at Columbia University looked at the scene and showed a wry smile.

If there is anything that can overwhelm the chain of contempt for artistic creation, it must be to fight against political oppression.

Because of this kind of thing, the writers' groups criticize the government? It's just a matter of course.

And criticize the most powerful US government in the world? In the world literary circle, it can be said that it is even more enjoyable.

When receiving US "Marshall Plan" assistance? The European literary and artistic circles can still praise Chaplin as the "master of comedy" who has been passed down to this day.

And Buster Keaton, who was as famous as Chaplin, Buster Keaton? How many people still remember it?

"Alright. The chairman waved his hand and motioned for everyone to be quiet.

"Whether it was Mr. Joseph Keller's suggestion? Neither this newsletter nor this newsletter should affect everyone's choice. ”

"Now? Let's start voting. ”

Professor of Literature at Columbia University? There was a moment of hesitation between being an American and being a writer.

Then, the name of "Anomaly" was firmly written on the ballot.

"Die, filthy politicians in the House of Representatives!"

In the end, "Anomaly" will undoubtedly win the Hugo Award.

As if to make an analogy with the passage of the US House of Representatives? Aside from two votes for Deadly Magic? The rest chose Anomaly.

This is also the work that received the most votes since the end of World War II.

The chairman looked at the results and nodded with satisfaction, "The writers are as united as ever when confronting political interference. ”

He stood up with the results of the vote count? "I will announce the results to the media. ”

The organizing committee will also adopt a statement condemning the U.S. government. ”

"Below? Let's vote on this event by a show of hands!"

......

Because of jet lag? When the results of the Hugo Awards were announced in Paris, Wang was still asleep.

"Fuck!" he just woke up? Thinking about yesterday's nightmare? I always feel terrified.

"The Texas governor's business track record is amazing? If it were another politician, I wouldn't be so worried. ”

Wang gradually sat on the car bound for Flushing and rubbed his forehead in pain.

But as soon as he got out of the car, he was startled by the reporters who pounced like wolves.

"I'm a reporter for The Washington Post. His microphone almost poked Wang Yan's face.

"May I ask Mr. Wang, what do you think of your work "Anomaly" winning the Hugo Award?"

"Do you think the organizing committee condemned the U.S. government for interfering in the creation of writers?"

Hugo Award?

That funny genre can actually win the science fiction literature award that is more serious?

What the hell is this!

Wang gradually thought about it for a while, and felt that it had little impact on him.

After all, the Hugo Award is only an honorable mentum, and there is no substantial prize money.

Its more important role is that through the blessing of awards, more and more high-priced copyrights can be sold.

But the TV rights of "Anomaly" have been sold to ABC, and he does not plan to sell the movie rights.

Although after "Star Wars", the six major film companies will no longer allow high-priced IPs to occur that they are not in their hands.

However, Wang gradually still wanted to try...

After saying something like "it's an honor", he was escorted by security guards into the office building.

But before Wang gradually recovered from his surprise, the mobile phone rang.

He took one look, and it was Larry Elson.

The world's top ten richest man, the boss of Oracle, opened his mouth and said, "Congratulations, Wang, for bringing the crown of science fiction." ”

"This news has already driven your book lovers crazy!"

"Thank you. Wang gradually pursed his lips and thought to himself: "Who knows what the judges of the Hugo Award are crazy about!"

However, before a settlement with the Vatican is reached, the greater the fame, the more vulnerable it is to the backlash of religious extremists.

So, the most important thing now is to wait for the Texas governor's plan to be completed.

"By the way," Elson continued, "I found that the crazy spending was no longer enough to get the attention of the stockholders. ”

"You don't mind, I'll rub off on the popularity of your book fans, right? After all, literature is not as sensitive as religious and racial issues. ”

Belch?

Wang was stunned for a moment, and instantly thought of Wozniak.

"You... How are you going to rub it?" he had a bad feeling.

"Spending money, of course, to provide logistics for your book lovers. ”

fuck!George Bush... But it's not ready yet!

Wang gradually hung up the phone and ran towards the office like crazy.

"Damn, the company is really going to install an elevator. ”

But when he hurriedly turned on the computer, the information he saw quickly cooled down the sweat caused by running.

I saw that on the Twitter homepage, an account that was verified as Ellison was pushed to the top.

"If you wish to march to Washington, please contact Oracle's customer service. ”

"Although Mr. Elson, unlike Bill Gates, founded a charitable foundation. ”

"But he has never forgotten that a large enterprise needs to assume social responsibility!"
