Chapter 145: It doesn't seem right
brushed, Qian Xiaozheng's nerves tensed suddenly.
, just now I was still ridiculing Wang Yong where did he get his confidence, why is it about to reverse in a blink of an eye?
Could it be the "Canon of Chinese Studies"?
Qian Xiaozheng's heart was pounding, and his heart was tangled to death at the moment. I thought that the two words that Wang Han didn't pronounce were "canonical", but I didn't want to be.
Although he quarreled with Wang Yong, he still hoped that Wang Yong could create a miracle and hit the highest award.
In the live broadcast room, the audience was also boiling all at once.
", it's Mr. Wang's book! Except for the "Canon of Chinese Studies", there is no other book with this name!"
"Nima, the book with the lowest support rate, was not eliminated, but won an honorary award? No one believes it! Mr. Wang has made a lot of money this time!"
"I'm so nervous and excited, this Wang Han is so annoying, and he deliberately hangs people's appetites again! Hurry up and announce that it is the "Canon of Chinese Studies"!"
In the distance, the corners of the judges' mouth twitched slightly, and it could be seen that he was also nervous.
His psychology at the moment is exactly the same as Qian Xiaozheng's, which is complex and conflicting. He thought that the two words that he didn't pronounce must be "essential", but he was a little unwilling. He felt that his disciple's "Essentials of Chinese Studies" could completely impact the national award, and only winning an honorary award would inevitably be a bit of a cow cooking chicken.
"Forget it, I don't want to. Anyway, it's not the "Canon of Chinese Studies"! That garbage book is already smoking from the ancestral grave if it gets into the nomination award, and it is impossible to win an honorary award!"
On the stage, Wang Han, as a well-known host, fully knows at which node to arouse people's appetites.
He smiled slightly, not only did not continue to announce, but diverted the topic: "Anyone who has read the nomination list should know that among the books nominated this time, there are two books called "Guoxue XX". So, is it "The Canon of Chinese Studies" or "The Essence of Chinese Studies" that won the Honorable Mention in the last book? Is anyone willing to guess?"
"Damn!" Wang Han's method of whetting his appetite caused a burst of angry scolding from the audience at the scene and outside the venue.
But there were people who really stood up and speculated.
"I think it's "The Essence of Chinese Studies", I have read both books, and "The Essence of Chinese Studies" is of much higher quality than "The Canon of Chinese Studies". A scholar who is also in the circle of Chinese studies stood up and spoke.
"I also think it's "The Essence of Chinese Studies", as for the reason, I don't think I will say, everyone knows it. Another big man in the publishing industry stood up and said.
"The Essentials of Chinese Studies does have a better chance of winning awards. Of course, this is just my personal opinion. An old professor, too.
Several invited audiences spoke in a row, but without exception, they all supported "The Essence of Chinese Studies", and Wang Yong's "Canon of Chinese Studies" did not even hear a single voice of support.
So much so that on the judges' bench, Academician Sima, Academician Xu, and Academician Chang shook their heads and sighed together: "It seems that this little rabbit's temper has not changed over the years!
"Ah sneeze", Wang Yong sneezed hard in the audience, then turned his head to look at Qian Xiaozheng, and asked viciously: "Say, did you scold me?"
Qian Xiaozheng pouted: "Still use me to scold you? Look at this huge scene, is there anyone who supports you? If one person scolds you can make you sneeze, you probably won't be able to get out of the bird's nest alive today." β
Wang Yong's face was slightly embarrassed, he laughed dryly, and hurriedly brought this topic over.
Indeed, it seems that his popularity is really not ordinarily bad.
"No one supports the Canon of Chinese Studies?" Wang Han asked strangely.
The audience smiled tacitly and did not speak.
"Wow, it seems that I have to admire your vision! Everyone actually guessed correctly! The last book to win an honorary award was "The Essence of Chinese Studies"!" Wang Han finally announced.
There was a lot of applause from the audience.
On the surface, it is to celebrate everyone's guess of the answer, but in fact, it is an invisible taunt to someone.
This time, it seems that someone is destined to be empty!
Zhou Daoli's heart hanging in the air fell instantly, he breathed a long sigh of relief, and then looked at Wang Yong in the audience with a smile.
Although "The Essence of Chinese Studies" has no hope of impacting the national award, it is better than "The Canon of Chinese Studies"!
"The Canon of Chinese Studies" has not been caught!
After the results were announced, Qian Xiaozheng was stunned for a moment, and then comforted Wang Yong and said, "Don't be sad, there will be a chance next time." β
The audience in the live broadcast room was also stunned, and after a while, the barrage floated up: "Shady and shady! How could it be that Mr. Wang's book won the award?
"Teacher Wang, don't cry, be strong! It doesn't matter if you win an award or not, what matters is how many people are willing to read your book! Tomorrow I will buy ten copies and give them to relatives and friends, so that they can all read them!"
"Yes, Mr. Wang is strong! I will buy it tomorrow!
In the face of everyone's comfort, Wang Yong did not feel the slightest sadness, but smiled lightly and replied: "Thank you, but the award is not over yet, and I am not on the list of honorary awards, which is good news for me, why should I be sad?"
ββ¦β¦β
Whether it was the audience who heard Wang Yong's words, or the netizens in the live broadcast room, they couldn't say a word.
I've seen a big heart, but I've never seen a heart so big!
When are you still dreaming? It's time to wake up!
The speed of the spread of the Internet is terrifying, Wang Yong has just finished speaking in the live broadcast room, and he has already been moved to Weibo.
Weibo netizens were also amused by Wang Yong.
"I really don't know whether to praise Mr. Wang for being confident, or for not being self-aware. There is no one who still has the illusion of hitting the national award. β
"Tsk, the book with the lowest support rate, and I want to hit the final prize. Someone can't die if he doesn't see the Yellow River, and he won't shed tears if he doesn't see the coffin!"
"Lao Tie has a live broadcast room number, I want to go and see Wang Yong's disappointed expression of nothing!
To be honest, it's really rare to see Mr. Wang's expression of failure. Don't miss this opportunity!"
Under the call of several netizens, Qian Xiaozheng's live broadcast room was flooded with hundreds of thousands of viewers.
"Look at Wang Yong!"
"Look at Wang Yong!"
As soon as these viewers came in, they wanted to see Wang Yong.
Qian Xiaozheng wondered, didn't he read it just now? Why do you want to watch it again?
Looking at the level of the barrage speakers, I found that they were all new audiences. Looking at Weibo again, I realized what happened.
So Qian Xiaozheng hurriedly aimed the camera at Wang Yong, and deliberately said: "There are one million more viewers in the live broadcast room all of a sudden, do you know why?"
"Why?"
"Because everyone wants to see your disappointed expression after your defeat! Please help me make it more realistic when the time comes! I'm likely to be an instant hit." β
Wang Yong sighed and ignored Qian Xiaozheng.
In the live broadcast room, the audience became excited one by one.
"Wang Yong's heart is empty! The smile he just now is obviously empty! Hahaha......"
"The four are empty! In the future, I will shout Wang Yong 'all empty Dao Chief'!"
In the noise of netizens, the live music of the Bird's Nest sounded, and the spotlights were all focused on the judges' seats.
But it came to the most important link - the selection of the national award.
Each judge has a serious face and writes on the ballot a book that he or she approves.
After writing, a special staff member will take the ballot box away.
The reason why electronic devices are not used is to eliminate cheating and public suspicion.
And on each ballot, the name of the judge is written. In other words, in the final selection process, there is no secret ballot, and each judge must be responsible for his or her own vote.
In the event of an accident afterwards, the ballot is the evidence.
The scene became eerily quiet, and everyone was looking at the judges' seats, trying to discern the names of the books written by the judges from the strokes of the judges' waves.
But to no avail, first, the distance is relatively far, and second, the judges write quickly and quickly, and it is difficult to tell what is written.
Experts, scholars, and publishers in the audience began to whisper about which book had the best chance of winning the award.
Some people guess "Differential Dynamical System", some people guess "New Theory of Engineering Control", and some people guess "Ancient Painting Collection".
There are even people who quietly bet on this, and the bets are even in five figures.
Finally, all the judges signaled that their ballots had been written.
A staff member walked up to the judges' bench with a ballot box in his arms and began to collect ballots.
The folded ballots were thrown into the ballot box, and the mystery of the ownership of the awards was thrown in.
"To be honest, it's a bit exciting. The winners of the 7th National Book Award will soon be announced, and our staff is busy counting who will win the prize. Why don't we go through an advertisement first?" Wang Han deliberately quipped, trying to adjust the atmosphere of the scene.
Many people chuckled, and many more were expressionless, their eyes always fixed on the staff who counted the votes on the stage.
Five minutes, ten minutes, fifteen minutes......
Finally, the votes were counted, and a staff member wrote the results on a hand card, put them in an envelope, and handed them to Wang Han.
Wang Han held the envelope and deliberately showed that he was eager to tear it open, but he didn't dare.
In the end, he ended tearing the envelope in frustration, and then waved his hand to Minister Cao, who was sitting in the middle of the rostrum.
"Let us welcome Minister Cao and announce the winners of the National Book Award, the final prize!"
The audience applauded like thunder.
Minister Cao got up and nodded, and then walked quickly to the stage.
After taking the envelope, Minister Cao didn't have any nonsense, but snorted, directly tore open the envelope, and took out a hand card with the name of the award-winning book.
"I know how you feel, because I'm like everyone else. Therefore, I will not whet everyone's appetite, and I announce that the book that won this year's National Book Award is "Differential Dynamical Systems"!"
Rumble!
The whole scene exploded in an instant, and everyone applauded enthusiastically.
Because, "Differential Dynamical Systems" is the most predicted book to win awards!
Wow!
It also exploded on the Internet.
Because, in the voting campaign launched by Weibo, "Differential Dynamical System" is the book with the highest support rate!
The award of "Differential Dynamical System" is simply expected!
The author of "Differential Dynamical Systems" and the publisher also stood up at this time, bowing to the surroundings and expressing their gratitude.
Then get ready to go on stage to receive your prize.
It's just that at this time, I saw Minister Cao frowning, and said softly: "This number of votes doesn't seem to be right......
