Chapter 141: Head to head

With the official confirmation of the Hugo Award nominations, the competition for the best novel has entered a white-hot stage, and after the substitute for "The Martian" came in, the suspense and highlights suddenly increased a lot. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Because this is a battle of encirclement and breakthrough, and it is also the first head-to-head confrontation between Lin Han and the Little Dog Gang!

Of the five books nominated, three belong to the Puppy Gang and the other two are by Lin Han, who are bound to compete for the Hugo Award for Best Novel.

Two novels by the same author entered the second round of voting, which is an honor and a burden.

"I, Robot" and "The Martian" will influence each other, which will definitely disperse some votes, so Chen Jiaxuan is not optimistic about the selection of this award.

"Lin Han, we have to do something, we can't just wait to lose the selection." Chen Jiaxuan has never wanted to put her fate in the hands of others, and she walked around her office in high heels.

But the party Lin Han has a different opinion, "If we also canvass for votes for the work, what is the difference between it and the people of the Puppy Gang?" ”

Chen Jiaxuan casually picked up a book and rolled it into a tube, and then knocked Lin Han's head, "Are you stupid?" It's understandable to canvass for yourself, and the Oscar winners have to come forward in public relations in person, and the focus of the Puppy Gang is on gender, race and other issues, and the extreme political views, in fact, when judging the merits of the novel, the interference of the choice of subject matter should have been excluded. ”

With such an "unenterprising" signatory, Chen Jiaxuan was also a little tired.

"Actually, we don't have to do anything, we just have to watch the Dog Gang kill themselves." Lin Han sat on the chair and twirled slightly, "You just need to give the people of the Little Dog Gang a little more gas, and they will pop like balloons." ”

The Puppy Gang, who have already started the victory carnival, may feel that the victory is in their hands, and the award ceremony will not be held until next Friday.

If the Hugo Award is allowed to come to the Puppy Gang so indiscriminately, the credibility of this award, which has been passed down for decades, will be seriously questioned.

None of the members of the World Science Fiction Association are willing to bear such consequences, and the Hugo Award cannot be screwed up in their hands.

Now it's the turn of the organizing committee of the Hugo Awards to have a headache, when will this clown-like farce end, and the Nebula Awards have begun to taunt on Twitter.

"@雨果奖, hi friend, do you need our help? If needed, we're more than happy to lend our members to you a fair vote! ”

Two sci-fi awards of the same caliber have never coexisted peacefully, and now the Nebula Awards are more than happy to see their old rivals make a fool of themselves.

Overdoing it, Lin Han has enough confidence in the quality of the novel "I, Robot", which has been tested for decades on earth, and believes that its charm can conquer those who really like to read science fiction.

……

At this time, many netizens on Weibo are actively discussing the selection rules of the Hugo Award, and many people are organizing canvassing, ready to use practical actions to fight against the Puppy Gang, they want to help Lin Han win this award.

At this time, Lin Han posted a simple explanation in Chinese and English on Weibo and Twitter:

"To readers: I am honored to be a part of the Hugo Awards, it is a very exciting experience. Because the selection of the Hugo Award has always been fair and fair, and every winner deserves it.

If every science fiction writer uses various channels to canvass for their own votes, then the meaning of the award will change, not to see which book is well written, but to see who hires the best PR agency.

I don't want this to affect the credibility of the Hugo Awards, so I implore my readers not to register as a member to vote for me if they really like my novels, and you don't want "I, 1 Robot" to be criticized as a prize won by swiping votes in the future.

is above board, if you can win the award, it is the best, and if you can't win the award, it is because your novel is not good enough.

Of course, I don't want the members of the Puppy Gang to cry online and complain that the online violence of our Chinese netizens has hurt them. ”

This is the strategy made by Chen Jiaxuan and Penguin Publishing Group, showing the enemy to be weak, and the public and the judges have sympathy for the weak.

In fact, this is also a reminder to the members of the World Science Fiction Association to judge novels according to their quality, and not to set double standards based on the author's gender, skin color, or nationality.

After issuing this statement, it was quickly put on the recommended topic by Weibo, which attracted the attention of many netizens, and the number of likes rose rapidly.

"We don't stir things up, but we're not afraid of things either. Our canvassing behavior is the same as the puppy gang, and I like Lin Han's attitude. ”

"I'm glad I saw this statement, otherwise I would have spent $40 to sign up."

"It occurred to me that I would never try to defeat a pure idiot. Because he'll drag my IQ to the same level as him, and then he'll beat me with his experience. Guys, don't get yourself to the level of the Puppy Gang, we don't have that much experience. ”

"Upstairs is right, we can't compare to the Puppy Gang when it comes to brain damage, don't meet them."

"I haven't read the rest of the books, so I can't draw conclusions, so I can only simply support "I, Robot"."

"In other words, Lin Han's two books were nominated for Best Novel, but why didn't he get the Best Translation nomination? Isn't this a good translation, I think the English version reads pretty smoothly. ”

"Lin Han is translating his own novels, it shouldn't be counted in it, you can go to the official website to see the specific rules."

"Whether he wins the award or not, Lin Han is the best science fiction writer in my mind! Supported Likes"

"This is the difference between a real writer and a fake writer, I don't even want to lose face in order to win an award, damn Yankee"

"Damn, we're all ready to go to war, and you suddenly say that you don't have to go to war, it's a complete drag and a waste of morale!"

Most netizens still understand and support his approach, only a small number of activists want to fight the Puppy Gang, Lin Han can't control other people's actions, just do it himself.

The tragedy is like me, I just squatted on the toilet this morning and found that there was a power outage, and the property said that the call came in two hours, so I took my mobile phone to play the game of the Archery World Cup.

However, two hours later, I called the property and said that the call came at 6 p.m. and I fainted.

Now I only ran to an unknown café outside the community to code words, and I was forced to take a MacBook code word, but unfortunately I couldn't go to Starbucks to take a picture. (To be continued.) )
