Chapter 115: Hugo Award

The Golden State Comic Con craze is running out, and another event, the Hugo Awards, has a ceremony that attracts people from all over the world.

Science fiction writers nominated by the World Science Fiction Association and science fiction writers who were not nominated arrived at the Hugo Awards by train or plane before the event was held.

Participating in the Hugo Awards, there are white, black, yellow and other science fiction authors from all over the world to witness the grand event of the Hugo Awards.

When the Hugo Awards ceremony was about to be held, the scandal about Lester and Madonna was turned over again, but everyone paid more attention to the promotion of "Die Hard" and Madonna's new song album.

Even those who wanted to find fault with Lester and Madonna were suppressed by the propaganda of both parties, and there was a lot of trouble during this time in August.

The success of this publicity is not sincere, "Die Hard" has attracted more attention, and Madonna's third album "True Melancholy" has won the national album for four consecutive weeks, and may be able to become the champion for five weeks.

No matter how the outside world promoted "Die Hard" and ridiculed Lester and Madonna's scandal, Lester, as one of the Hugo Award nominees, put things down and took the train to the Hugo Award venue this year.

When he came to the award venue, Lester didn't go to the place of the awards ceremony right away, but instead made an appointment with Okoda and Wade, two guys who helped him put "Watchmen" into the competition.

The two of them helped, and Lester also took a pretty good gift to express his gratitude, after all, the process of participating in the Hugo Award requires an entry fee to be judged.

Lester talked to the two about the development of "Watchmen" and science fiction, and then came to the Hugo Awards.

Everyone who entered was middle-aged to an old man, and only Lester, a maverick young man, attracted the attention of those around him.

It's Leicester.

In addition to science fiction authors and fiction magazines, there were also some reporters who came to interview, and they were reporters who specialized in covering science fiction newspapers.

The nomination for "Watchmen" has already spread in North America, a small circle of science fiction and comics, and reporters are not much surprised that Lester is here, and some people came up to interview Leicester and let him enter the awards ceremony.

Lester, as one of the Hollywood directors and the owner of the film company, felt a little out of place when he sat in the seat arranged by the World Science Fiction Association.

The seats around him were filled with either science fiction authors or screenwriters for science fiction magazines, and Lester was quite unfamiliar with some science fiction authors who had adapted movies from science fiction novels.

Lester was unfamiliar with them, but some of the North American science fiction writers present came up to greet him from time to time.

Although Lester's popularity is not very big among the audience, the later Asuka Film and Television is valued by science fiction authors, and the authors who greet him will sometimes recommend the science fiction novels he writes, hoping to get Lester's attention and buy them to be adapted into movies to bring him another income.

The science fiction writers who came up to say hello were enthusiastic, and Lester also talked to them with a smile on his face, and every time the other party talked about his science fiction works, he would go around with Tai Chi.

In the end, Lester's face was a little stiff, and he found that the people who came up to greet and recommend his works were all science fiction authors who were not very famous science fiction works, and those famous science fiction authors at most greeted him and sat in their seats.

When the voice next to him sounded on the stage, the sci-fi author who came up to greet Leicester stopped to recommend his work, and sat in the position arranged by the organizer, looking at the host with expectant and serious eyes.

The host flipped his speech, and in the applause, the award ceremony of the Hugo Award officially began.

Every science fiction author who wins the Hugo Award tells some interesting stories when he wins the Hugo Award, and it is the turn of the next award.

Lester sat in a group of science fiction writers, watching every science fiction writer who went up to receive the award, and applauded each winner along with everyone.

As each winner won the Hugo Award, the atmosphere became enthusiastic.

Soon, Lester heard the presenters on stage say that "Watchmen" won the Hugo Award for Best Picture of the Year.

To the applause, Lester stood up and walked onto the stage to receive the Hugo Award trophy.

Under the gaze of a group of people in the audience, Lester said with a smile on his face at the lecture machine: "Thanks to the support of the World Science Fiction Association and the public, I won the Hugo Award, and I am very honored to receive such an honor." ”

Very official testimonial, but Lester has not finished speaking, under everyone's gaze, he continued: ""Watchmen was nominated and awarded, thanks to the help of two comic fans, so that the World Science Fiction Association can see this good comic work...... Speaking of this, Lester paused and raised the trophy in his hand: "Of course, I would like to thank every cartoonist in Asuka Comics for the results of their work, this is yours." ”

Bang Bang Bang!

After Lester finished speaking, a round of applause resounded at the award ceremony, took the trophy, and sat back in his seat.

At this time, Lester was in a very happy mood to be able to win the trophy of the Hugo Award, and the feeling that he was a little out of place around him was a passing cloud.

At the end of the Hugo Award ceremony, Lester returned to Asuka Film and Television with the Hugo Award trophy and walked towards Asuka Comics.

Bang Bang Bang!

Walking into the Asuka comic studio, Lester was greeted with applause from cartoonists such as Chris.

"Boss, what you said at the end was wonderful. ”

Chris said with a respectful smile;

The live TV broadcast of the Hugo Awards allowed Lester's words to be seen by Chris and other cartoonists, which made them happy to follow the right person.

Lester raised the Hugo Award in his hand, and in the eager eyes of everyone, put the trophy on the table: "Who wants to touch it." ”

As soon as Lester's words were finished, the cartoonists scrambled to watch the Hugo Award trophy, and for the first time in their lives, they felt that the Hugo Award trophy was so close to them.

Lester watched as everyone was so enthusiastic about the Hugo Award trophy and didn't interrupt them, listening to Chris's report on the results of Asuka Comics.

In more than three months, the "Yu-Gi-Oh" comic has completed a small part, which can be released in RB as a collection book, and the comic book dealer over there has also negotiated with Chris about sharing and other issues, and has begun to promote it there, and it can be pushed to RB by the comic book company in early September, and the first volume will be launched to test the water, and if the sales are okay, the later album will be launched.

After listening to Chris's report, Lester walked to his office with the Hugo Award trophy in the exhibition.

"Help me make an appointment with Mr. Emmanuel. ”

Lester walked past the assistant desk, spoke to the female assistant, and walked into the office when the other party called.
