"Isn't it okay to be happy together?"

"Good what?"

"You weren't like that before. ”

"What should I do?"

"Don't tell me that you want to focus on your career, then, right now, I have also given you a career boost, and besides, it's still with good sisters, isn't it great?"

"Higashino is the strongest, you are indeed the strongest guy, I am willing to bow down. ”

"What do you mean? Aren't you the ones who are in this situation? Now you want to retire?"

"That's a good idiom, I like it. ”

"Or do you want me to chase you on my own initiative?"

"Higashino, you give me a little serious! Okay, that's it. ”

"Yu-chan, you're ......"

"Don't call me that, weird and disgusting. ”

"Huh, I ...... The whole of Japan knows that I, Higashino Qiang, is a super handsome guy, and I have money, and I am still a well-known family, even if I am a country person, at least I know that I am a well-known screenwriter, you actually say disgusting?"

"Haha...... Higashino, you guy, well, managed to make me laugh, but I'm sorry, Sayunala. ”

......

This may be a coincidence.

The World Science Fiction Convention has always been held in mid-August, which coincides with the hottest time in Tokyo.

As a matter of fact, there has always been the idea of holding this conference in Asia, and the Japanese side was the first to consider it, after all, people in the United States still like Japan quite a lot.

And because this conference is only held for two or three days, and C71, which has a bit of a collision in terms of time, is also two or three days, so it is simply one foot in front and one foot behind.

C71 was held in advance, and then a huge advertisement was made here at big-sight.

After all, the number of people in this event is really large, so many young generations who like the second dimension have seen the news of the World Science Fiction Convention.

In this way, this conference has an Asian character.

Lots of people!

There's no way, this so-called World Science Fiction Convention, for now, still has the feeling of a grass stage.

Let's just put it this way, the number of participants in the previous conference, that is, a few thousand, in good times, there are 5,000, and in bad times, for example, outside the United States, such as Australia, there are more than 2,000 people again.

Maybe it's because the culture in Australia isn't enough, but who knows.

At present, this conference is really improper, and even Higashino dares to say that many Japanese or Chinese do not know about this conference, that is, the influence is really not enough.

But later, as the Internet developed better and better, the conference became more and more influential.

Ten years later, if you want to bid for this conference, you will have to do it several years in advance.

Of course, it is not clear whether it has something to do with the fact that more and more Chinese writers are winning the Hugo Award, the main award of the conference.

Higashino Qiang had already come to Big-Sight at this time, and he couldn't help but think about these things related to the science fiction convention in his mind, as for the previous ...... That's right, he remembered his conversation with Yu Aoi again.

That girl is really weird.

It's all like this, what else is she going to do?

Could it be that the essence of the sick girl is actually to be a woman?

Well, it's a bit wrong to think so, Higashino is not the kind of guy who looks at other people in a bad light.

However, Aoi Yu's girl did annoy him a little.

Forget it, let's not think about her yet.

As for Masami's performance on the TV show, Higashino Qiang gave a certain punishment.

Let Masami put on cat ears...

It's okay, it's a few more easts anyway.

It doesn't seem right to think about this, forget it, let's pay attention to this world science fiction convention.

Today, Higashino Qiang didn't wear the helmet of Mr. Kigo, he came as his own Higashino Qiang, so ......

"Master, ha, that's great. ”

"Genos?"

"yes, I'm here. ”

"Oh, I know you're here, that ...... What are you going to do?"

Yes, according to Higashino Qiang's thoughts, that is, based on the previous C70 experience, shouldn't this guy Genos be with Kanzaki Hiroshi, as well as Mr. Kanda Jiezi, that is, Yusuke Murata, and Xu Xiaoxiao, Nose Hair, Senior Ota, etc.?

Shouldn't they be more immersed in the two-dimensional world, should they?

But this time ...

"Master, we're here to help you!"

Sure enough, it didn't disappoint Higashino Qiang, and after Genos appeared, everyone was soon there.

Kanzaki Hiroshi, Teacher Kanda Jiezi, Xu Xiaoxiao, they are all here, and Asano Xuan is indispensable.

"This ...... Help?" Higashino Qiang was a little confused, but he had already thought of a possibility in his heart, "Are you going to ......?"

Before the question was finished, they said in unison.

"We're all already members of the sci-fi convention!"

Really!

They just want to vote for Mr. Onigo's work.

Higashino Qiang's face was weird.

......

In other words, although the Hugo Award is a lot of praise, it is also quite strange.

Because the real ownership of this award is through voting, that is, the vote of the members of this science fiction convention.

However, so far, this so-called World Science Fiction Convention, the total number of members is only more than 1,000.

To put it simply, it only takes more than 1,000 votes to decide which science fiction film will win the Hugo Award, which is known as the Oscar of science fiction.

Let's look at the number of participants in its conference.

That's more than 5,000 people.

This one...... Calling yourself the world, isn't it too much?

Of course, we must also admit that at this conference, at this Hugo Awards, a lot of excellent science fiction works were indeed born.

Maybe these works are not so well-known, but the quality is still good, and many of them have been adapted into film and television dramas.

However, it is impossible to ignore the fact that the limitations of this award are indeed significant.

Especially at this stage.

It is estimated that it is more of a relatively niche award for European and American science fiction lovers.

As for why it is called the Oscars, then it is likely to continue the American sense of superiority.

The Oscar of the United States also thinks that Lao Tzu is the best in the world, and many sports in the United States, that is, their own domestic champions, are directly called 'world champions'.

Mostly.

Of course, it may also be because this award is the same as the Oscars, and it is also produced by majority voting.

You know, many of these types of awards, that is, in the literary and artistic fields, sometimes have very few juries.

For example, the Japanese Literature Promotion Association, such as the Cannes Film Festival, and so on.

More than 1,000 members voted, which is relatively more than these juries.

The initial phase is carried out on the network.

Mr. Kigo's "Tokyo Lift", after all, represents Japan, so it has gained the support of many Japanese science fiction fans.

Genos, they are a group of relatives and friends, not too many in number, but not too little.

But then, that's when the real thing happens.

This one...

"Everyone, everyone is here to submit Wenqi's work!"

"Don't think about it, you have to vote for Vinci!"

"'End of the Rainbow' is definitely the best sci-fi of the year!"

Coming to the conference, Higashino felt a little naïve.

It turns out that there are not too many things like canvassing, family and friend groups, or whatever!

"Master, do you see, we have to work hard!"

"Yes, Higashino, you just wait here, it's up to us next!"

"Everyone, are you ready?"

"Oooh!"

"Rush!"

Shocked, Higashino Qiang was really shocked.

Genos, Xu Xiaoxiao, Kanzaki Hiroshi and others, in the conference, such a large exhibition site, began to canvass for votes.

Shouting, shouting, helping people to introduce ......

Fun!

Higashino Qiang looked at it with a feeling of enthusiasm.

However, as the author, is it a bit too much for him to end up directly?

What's going on with that Vinci?

Genos they have already gone to fight, and it is clear that their target is the Japanese who like sci-fi, preferably with membership.

And Higashino Qiang, let's just get to know the opponent.

The so-called, knowing oneself and knowing the other side will not be defeated in a hundred battles.

This conference is similar to C71, and there are many works, including his "Tokyo Lift", which has been translated into English, Japanese, and even Chinese. Higashino Qiang picked up a copy of "The End of the Rainbow", held it and read it, and it didn't take long to understand.

"Oh, cyberpunk ......"

That's right, this one has a clear cyberpunk style, and it tells the story of a vegetative person who wakes up after the development of technology, and as a result, a future world appears in front of him that he can't believe.

The story is still pretty good.

This Verno Vinci is indeed a powerful person...... Wait a minute.

It seems that this man has already won four Hugo Awards.

Master.

Higashino exposes his less familiar side with sci-fi.

After all, there is still a ...... between science fiction in Europe and the United States and our oriental literature For example, "Harry Potter", well, is also sold at this conference, in short, this kind of work is also classified as science fiction, and even, the last time Vinci won the award, it was to beat Rowling.

So, do you have a chance to beat your opponent this time?

Thinking of this, I can't help but feel a little funny in my heart.

I was also enthusiastic again.

I couldn't help but look not far away.

"Sir, let's take a look at Kigo-sensei's "Tokyo Lifting"!"

"Please vote for Tokyo Lift!"

"This work is very good science fiction!"

Genos and the others, but they are really fighting.

What to do?

Not long after, Higashino Qiang picked up his own "Tokyo Lift" and joined it.

"Please take a look at this, Ghost Go's sci-fi. ”

Well, my current identity is Higashino Qiang, but I'm not Mr. Uigo.

Seeing this scene, Genos and the others all had smiles on their faces.

The power is coming up!

"Please take a look. ”

"Please buy a copy, you won't be disappointed!"

"Cast your vote!"

This conference seems to be quite interesting.

But just when Higashino was obsessed with canvassing for himself, a man appeared.

"Senior Higashino, hello. ”

"You ......"

"Why? don't know me? Ha, okay, I'll just introduce myself solemnly, Takafumi Horie, who is the senior of your Faculty of Letters at Todai. ”

Of course, Higashino Qiang knew the person in front of him, and he was Takafumi Horie.

However, why did this so-called senior come to him?

PS: The third more is sent!Thank you for your support! The black car doesn't talk much, only hard work code words.
