Chapter 345: Award Ceremony
Two days later, in the box of a big hotel, Lei Zhizheng was smiling with a red face and pouring wine for a middle-aged man who looked like a professor.
"Professor Huang, this Tianma Award ...... You are the chief reviewer, the "Visitor from the Sky" we recommend depends on your support, this book is really well written, to be honest, we haven't seen such a good science fiction circle for many years. ”
Professor Huang smiled and raised his wine glass, and there was something to say.
"Hehe, don't you dare to carry it, as for whether this "Visitor from the Sky" can win the Tianma Award, although I am the chief reviewer, but after all, I can't have the final say alone, this has to be a big guy...... Research Research ...... Yes, research and research......"
"Hehe, don't worry, I won't let you work in vain, everything is ready, I'll send you out in person after dinner......"
Lei Zhi smiled, like a mirror in his heart, this so-called 'research' is actually 'tobacco and alcohol', research and research, to put it bluntly, it is to ask him for tobacco, alcohol, tobacco and alcohol.
There are five people at a table, one chief reviewer and four reviewers, and each person has to prepare at least 10,000 yuan.
He knows that this is already a face-saving thing, and if people say, 'study and research, verify and verify ......', it means that tobacco and alcohol are not good, and you have to make some good tea!
These people's mouths can be held, hundreds of pieces of tea can barely enter their eyes, and once they are sent, it is a catty, and Lei Zhi, who can definitely send it, vomits blood.
But none of this matters to him, the wool is from the sheep, and this time all the expenses are paid for.
After sending off these cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods, he took out his mobile phone and dialed a number when he left the hotel.
"Hey, hehe, hello Mr. Yun, the things you told me have been arranged, and I will ...... tomorrow Hehe, you can rest assured, it is guaranteed to be foolproof, well, thank you again for your contribution to domestic science fiction......"
……
The next morning, the leek scrambled eggs, that is, Tong Yao, got off the plane and came to the designated hotel in City B. Zhao Zifeng saw the self-proclaimed author of "Visitors from Heaven" in front of him, to be honest, he was a little confused.
He really didn't expect that the creator of this book would be so young and a woman?
It was even more difficult for him to understand that this plainly dressed girl actually had the capital to sponsor a science fiction magazine and let Lei Zhi hug his thighs?
"Hello, my name is Tong Yao, I am the author of "Visitors from Heaven", you are Mr. Zhao, right?"
Tong Yao's voice made Zhao Zifeng feel a little dazed, and he immediately gathered his mind and smiled at the other party.
"Hehe, hello, I'm Zhao Zifeng, editor of Science Fiction Magazine, welcome to you, what's that...... This is your room key, the award ceremony is at 2 p.m., I'll take you to rest first. ”
Thinking that this was the food and clothing parents of his own magazine, Zhao Zifeng was a little frightened, for fear that if he didn't serve well, he would ruin the jobs of everyone in the magazine.
However, it seems that the other party is quite polite, and he is not as pampered and arrogant as the sponsors in the past.
He took Tong Yao up to the 5th floor, and when he arrived at the door of the room, he reminded him again.
"Two o'clock in the afternoon, conference hall 888 on the eighth floor. ”
"Thank you. ”
……
Opening the room, Tong Yao made up for her sleep, went downstairs to have a meal at about one o'clock, and after eating, she looked at the watch at 1:40, and went directly to the eighth floor of the hotel.
As a result, as soon as she entered the No. 888 conference hall, she was a little stunned.
The Pegasus Awards ceremony she imagined was either the lighting, stage, and host on TV, or at least the audience was full and crowded, but the scene in front of her had too much visual impact on her.
Conference Hall 888, said to be a hall, is actually more than 30 square meters, a long table in front of it is considered a leader's seat, and there are four or five rows of chairs below, and it is also an old-fashioned kind of electroplated folding chairs.
To be honest, this row is not even as good as those who do pyramid schemes.
There were five people sitting in the leadership seat, all of them were middle-aged men, and there were many people sitting below, about twenty or thirty people, Tong Yao probably glanced at it, and he knew Zhao Zifeng alone.
"Who are you looking for?"
Just as she glanced at whether there were any vacant seats, one of the people in the middle of the leadership seat, who looked at the identity card written on Huang Zhuo, cast a not very friendly look at her.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I'm here for the Pegasus Awards. ”
Tong Yao replied curtly, seeing Zhao Zifeng gesturing like her and motioning for her to sit next to her, she hurriedly lowered her head and trotted, but heard Huang Zhuo's unfriendly scolding behind her.
"You're here for the awards ceremony? Why don't you have any sense of time? Let so many of us wait for you? Do you know that our time is precious? Why are you so rude at a young age? Who invited you here?"
"Wasn't it two o'clock? I shouldn't be late, right?"
Tong Yao looked at the watch on her wrist suspiciously, and confirmed again that there were still thirteen minutes before the two o'clock of the notification.
"You ......"
Professor Huang on the stage couldn't hold his face, but he couldn't refute it, it was not that others were late, but that they came early, Zhao Zifeng saw this, and hurriedly squeezed his eyebrows at Tong Yao, and Lei Zhi next to him was also sweating profusely.
It was only at this time that he realized that he was negligent, because he realized that the thigh he was holding and the author of the book were not the same person.
In other words, Thigh took the initiative to find him, and the author of the book was actively invited by the Pegasus jury.
When Tong Yao went over and sat down, he hurriedly whispered to the other party.
"Don't talk nonsense, this Professor Huang is the Taishan Beidou in the science fiction world, and he doesn't like people to refute him......"
"But I'm really not late......"
"I ...... Well, listen to him. ”
For the two people who are very serious, Lei Zhi feels that he doesn't need to convince anyone, not to mention that he doesn't have time now. His main task is just to let "The Visitor from Heaven" win the Pegasus Award today, and nothing else has much to do with him, even if she is the author of this book.
In his eyes, there is only one person with a thigh, and everything else is just a passerby!
Professor Huang Zhuohuang frowned and snorted coldly, and then changed his smiling face and began to speak formally.
"Hehe, welcome to our triennial science fiction hall award-Tianma Awards!! I'm Huang Zhuo, thank you, thank you. ”
After speaking, he paused, as if he wanted to wait for others to applaud, but everyone at the scene had serious faces, no one applauded at all, and the atmosphere was called an embarrassment.
Helplessly, coughing, he could only continue to talk to himself.
"Our country's science fiction has been thriving since 50 years ago, especially 23 years ago, when 14 works were shortlisted for the Tianma Award, and it was really a talent ......."
Next, Professor Huang bragged about the domestic science fiction boom for fifteen minutes, and then finally got to the point.
