Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Literati Pull Aside
Not much to say, Jiang Dong went to urge Jiang Shen, and his position was not here, so he didn't come back after leaving.
Lu Changming waited quietly, watching the staff on the stage busy, not impatient.
About half an hour later, a man with long hair appeared.
He trotted in from the gate, dressed in a Tang costume and carrying a large satchel, with thick and dense hair and a noticeable beard.
At first glance, it looks a bit like a street performer.
Many people looked at him and were attracted to him, and some old writers even laughed, as if they had seen old friends.
That man is none other than Jiang Shen!
He sat down, gasped for breath, and stroked his hair again, revealing a round, chubby face.
"Jiang Shen, are you late again?" someone teased.
"It's only half past seven, and I'm half an hour early. Jiang Shen snorted, looked at Lu Changming, and then stretched out his hand: "Changmingju? ”
"Hello senior. Lu Changming was polite, this literati was very distinctive, although he was not bookish, but he felt very material.
"What kind of senior am I? I'm only in my thirties. Jiang Shen shook his hand and opened his satchel and took out four books from it.
All four books are of the same thickness and may have dozens of pages up or down.
The others laughed again: "Jiang Shen, did you give your four famous books again? You don't give away the books you published before, you have to send them printed by yourself?"
"Changming is new, of course I have to send it. Jiang Shen had an easy-going personality, and he didn't care about being ridiculed, so he stuffed four books into Lu Changming's hands.
Lu Changming took a look at it, and the titles of the four books were "Cards", "Pattern", "Position", and "Emotional Intelligence", and the signature was "Phantom Dust II".
Phantom Dust is the pen name of Jiang Shen.
Lu Changming blinked, how could this name sound familiar?
He recalled it again and couldn't help but exclaim: "You wrote "Kaizi Psychology"?"
Jiang Shen was stunned for a moment, and was slightly determined: "Changming has read "Kaizi Psychology"? ”
Lu Changming's mouth twitched, it was you who hurt my sister.
"It's very good, worthy of being the altar master. Lu Changming was buried in his heart, and he praised a wave of praise.
Jiang Shenle let out a loud voice and turned his head to look around: "What about your friend? ”
"Tao Siyin?" Lu Changming frowned, "What's wrong with the Science Fiction World Forum?"
"Well, it's hard to put into words. Scholars are all high-minded, and they regard Miss Tao as a play, how can a drama taint literature?" Jiang Shen spread his hands helplessly, "I have to step down as the administrator of the long night, otherwise I will have to make trouble." ”
"What?" Lu Changming was taken aback, what does this have to do with Lin Weixi?
Jiang Shen said it one by one, but Lin Weixi has been deleting posts and banning them, and he is not allowed to make remarks that are unfavorable to "The Three-Body Problem" and Lu Changming.
"She's on good terms with you. Jiang Shen added a sentence at the end, which was meaningful.
Lu Changming had already used his mobile phone to send WeChat to Lin Weixi.
"Lin, thank you. ”
"It's okay, I'm just dealing with illegal remarks, and according to the rules of the forum, all abusive and rumor-mongering will be deleted. Lin Weixi responded lightly.
Lu Changming frowned and thought for a while, and pleaded with Jiang Shen: "Brother Jiang, can you let Changye Weixi restore his status as an administrator?"
"It depends on timing, and now is clearly not the time. Jiang Shen shook his head, "But don't worry, I'm from Dongyang, and I'm also a teacher of Lin Weixi in writing, and she and I are both from Dongyang Writers' Association, and I will help her." ”
As he spoke, the light in the hall suddenly brightened, and all the lights were turned on.
For a moment, everyone's face was clearly visible.
Lu Changming glanced back at the back and saw Su Xiaozhou holding his mobile phone and waving.
And on the stage, the host is already on the stage.
There was silence in the hall, and no one spoke.
"Hello everyone, welcome to the 18th Science Fiction Galaxy Awards Ceremony in 2020, I am the host Wen Min, and I would like to invite Deng Zhenhua, President of the Science Fiction Literature Association and Chairman of the Galaxy Award Judges!"
In the warm applause, Deng Zhenhua came to the stage.
He is an old man in the literary circle, but he has very few words, everything is simple, and he will announce the main topic after a few minutes.
The main topic is, of course, the award ceremony!
Every writer in the front row was nervous, even Jiang Shen, who also had works to run.
Lu Changming is very calm, mainly because Jiang Dong has always said that he has won the award, and "The Three-Body Problem" has no worries.
There are many awards, including the Best Editor Award, the Best Newcomer Award, and the Best Microfiction Award......
People kept coming to the stage to accept the award, and Jiang Dong went on stage in high spirits.
But none of this is the main event, which is the Galaxy Award for Best Novel.
There are three in total, long, medium, and short.
The top priority, of course, is the Novel Award.
"I would like to announce that the winner of the Best Short Story Award in 2020 is Jiang Xuanhan, whose work "The Rings of Mars" is a grand and fascinating ......."
Reading the award speech on the stage, Jiang Shen next to Lu Changming had already stood up and couldn't help cheering.
The writers around applauded, and some people ridiculed: "Jiang Shen, it's been five years, and you have finally come out again." ”
"Go, do you know how I've spent the past five years!" Jiang Shen chirped, cut his hair and went to the stage to accept his award.
Next, the atmosphere became more and more tense, and with the landing of the Best Novella Award, everyone's hearts were raised.
The award for the best novel, the special award of the Galaxy Awards, the highest honor, is about to be announced!
Lu Changming was infected by everyone, and he was a little nervous.
In the right corner of the front row, Tao Siyin also looked closely at the award presenter on the stage, her peach-like face full of expectation.
Winner of the 2020 Best Novel Award...... Lu Changming!"
Finally, the much-anticipated award tore off the veil of mystery, and "The Three-Body Problem" has stepped onto the highest stage of domestic science fiction literature!
Lu Changming's heart was relieved, and there was extremely warm applause all around, and all eyes were focused on Lu Changming.
Lu Changming got up and bent down to thank him, and then walked quickly to the stage.
After receiving the award and giving a speech, he came down again to accept the congratulations of others.
At this time, it was already past nine o'clock, but the ceremony was not over, and it was the turn of the super reader to take the stage.
Five people, only one person can come to power, this is a new link, it only started last year.
After a polite remark, the host invited Tao Siyin to the stage.
The concert hall fell silent suddenly, followed by applause.
The applause was strange, some areas were enthusiastic, others were flat.
For example, the students of Aviation University, they were very enthusiastic, even more enthusiastic than when they presented the awards, and they all looked at Tao Siyin.
But the writer section, especially the front-row writers, is a little unnatural for everyone.
"The writer is the protagonist, but the finale is Tao Siyin, which makes people feel uncomfortable. Jiang Shen said in a low voice.
In fact, for other readers, writers are very happy, but it is Tao Siyin.
Fools know that she is a big traffic invited by the Galaxy Awards.
The traffic is current, and the literati are on the sidelines.
