Chapter 166: High-profile Expedition (Four More Requests for Subscription)
"It's a pleasure to work together, and I hope we can successfully bring back the Hugo Awards and the right to host the event this time. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"I don't dare to think about it, let the Hugo Awards go with the flow. ”
Lin Han shook hands with Yao Lingfeng, the best of both worlds is good, but don't be too heavy about gains and losses.
In the evening of the same day, Phoenix.com, as the media support of the Chinese delegation, took the lead in releasing the plan for the expedition on the Internet, officially announcing that Yanjing City will participate in the competition for next year's Science Fiction World Conference.
"Tomorrow, the Chinese delegation will go to Los Angeles to participate in the 2017 World Science Fiction Convention, and look forward to bringing the Hugo Award and the right to host the conference back to China! The members of the delegation are: Lin Han, the winner of the three nominations for the Hugo Award, Yao Lingfeng, CEO of Guoke.com, Qin Hao, editor-in-chief of Science Fiction World, Chen Chuhe, deputy editor-in-chief, representatives of the Yanjing Municipal Party Committee, famous science fiction writers Li Wenyuan and Chu Yunliang, Phoenix.com will bring reports throughout the process as exclusive media support, please continue to pay attention!"
It can be said that this is basically the most luxurious team that can be sent in China, Lin Han's name has a high status in the hearts of European and American science fiction fans because of the big sales of two novels, and this head-to-head confrontation with the Puppy Gang has attracted a lot of attention, and it is very suitable for Lin Han to serve as a positive image.
With the financial support of the organizers, the assistance of government departments, and the help of the most authoritative science fiction magazines in China, several popular science fiction writers have contributed to it, and netizens have begun to look forward to their triumphant return.
"I'm so excited, I always thought it was a rumor on the Internet, come on Chinese science fiction group!"
"2333 Chinese Science Fiction Heavenly Group, the name of this group is good. I hope Lin Han can realize his dream of the Hugo Award and defeat those scum"
"I just want to know if Phoenix can broadcast the Hugo Awards live, it seems like we were in the morning, right?"
"Come on, come on, we're going to see the sci-fi convention on our doorstep!"
"After waiting so long for the awards ceremony, I went to check the flight to Los Angeles and had to go to the airport to ask for an autograph. ”
"Wow! I'm in L.A.! This venue has been arranged, originally I thought the tickets were a bit expensive, I didn't want to go in, it seems that I have to go in to support our Chinese science fiction!"
"I envy that I can go to the scene, but if it is really held in Yanjing next year, I will have to come here to save money and food."
"Whoa, the North American rudder of the Hanlin Academy came to report, do you have any friends who went to the airport or the conference site together?"
"It's opened, how many Hugo Awards do you think Lin Han can win?"
These netizens began to practice for Lin Han and the Chinese delegation, they did not scold others, did not have excessive expectations, only sincere wishes.
Regardless of the final outcome, at least the team looks decent, not improvised straw teams.
However, in fact, this is a makeshift team, and everyone is not very familiar with each other, but fortunately they are all people in the science fiction circle, and everyone has heard of each other.
It's just that there are some people in this delegation who go out to travel at public expense from the municipal party committee office, so the topic can't be opened at all, and snorting and shooting horses is not something that writers are good at. And those civil servants don't like science fiction very much, and this time they came for travel, shopping, and leisure.
At the Capital International Airport, Lin Han dragged his suitcase and stood aside with Li Wenyuan, and he said with a smile: "Mosquitoes, hide deep enough." If I hadn't seen your name on the news yesterday, I didn't know you would have gone along. ”
"I'm just being caught, although I'm also a member of the World Science Fiction Convention, and I was going to sign new books in China, but I just happened to have someone here, so I came over. It's certainly better to be comfortable at a sci-fi convention than to be a coolie signing. ”
Another science fiction writer, Chu Yunliang, did not come along, he stayed with the two editors-in-chief of "Science Fiction World", and the science fiction writers were also divided into small groups.
In fact, this is quite embarrassing, because Lin Han and Li Wenyuan came out separately from "Science Fiction World" magazine to republish "Fantasy Era", and "Science Fiction World" also joined other magazines to ban this magazine on a small scale, although it failed, but the gap between the two sides was also generated.
Originally, a little bit of incense was almost tossed, but Lin Han's "I, Robot" is still serialized on "Science Fiction World", which can't be said without saying hello.
"Let's go, let's go over and say hello, it's not us who are embarrassed anyway. Lin Han walked to Chen Chuhe's side in a bright light, and he showed a bright smile: "Brother Chen, we finally met again, and now "I, Robot" is okay in the magazine, right?"
Chen Chuhe was originally a competitor for the deputy editor-in-chief, but now that he finally succeeded, he also had a little more confidence, and now after seeing Lin Han's seemingly innocent smile, he still said: "Of course it won't be bad, this is a work that has been shortlisted for the Hugo Award, and the attention has always been very high." ”
He is very glad that he had the foresight at the beginning, and used the price of 500 words to sign a science fiction book nominated for the Hugo Award and serialize it until now, thanks to the nomination of this year's Hugo Awards, the originally decadent sales of "Science Fiction World", which published "I, Robot", have risen slightly again.
It's a pity that there are still two months before this novel is about to be serialized, but there are two science fiction novels by Lin Han on "Fantasy Age", Chen Chuhe thinks that it is a tyrannical thing, especially wasteful!
"Is "Science Fiction World" going to contact those science fiction copyright owners for translation? I used to like to read the translated version, but now I don't know how. ”
Lin Han directly started the family routine here, and Chen Chuhe was embarrassed to refuse him, so he could only ask and answer.
Chu Yunliang, who knew the grievances between the two sides, was originally on the side of "Science Fiction World", which was an old magazine that had withstood many tests, and it was not comparable to the "Fantasy Age" that had just been republished.
But looking at it now, both sides are actors, obviously there is friction, but they are closer than usual, and outsiders can't see it at all.
At this time, someone suddenly walked up to Lin Han's side, and then said excitedly: "It's really you! Lin Han, go to the United States to come on, we all support you to win the award, if you don't give it to you, it's shady!"
"I've been waiting here for an hour, and I've finally seen you. I especially like your novels, whether they win awards or not, they are the most in my heart. ”
"Can you sign my poster? I want to give it to my friend for his birthday, and he loves The Martian. ”
Compared with celebrities, such a small group of fans is pitiful, but Lin Han talked to them excitedly, not only signing autographs but also taking photos, and at the same time not forgetting to answer some questions about the plot.
When entering the security check, the group of fans was still standing far outside, waving vigorously, watching the Chinese delegation officially set off.
"I'm so lucky, I sent my girlfriend to the airport today, and I met Lin Han. China's sci-fi troupe is handsome, this time in Los Angeles, we must kill the puppy gang, and look forward to the sci-fi conference held at our doorstep!"

When someone told me that "Literary Star" was five times or more popular on some pirated software or websites than the starting subscription, the author was angry and complicated.
Some people even said that I updated too fast, causing him to go to see the pirated version, I don't understand what the reason is, maybe it's because the starting point coins are consumed too much?
Now the author bacteria break out every day, and it only costs a few cents a day to subscribe to the genuine version, and there are not even ten yuan a month.
It costs seven or eight yuan to eat a bowl of noodles outside, and the author earns 3 cents and has to be divided by half by the website, and if the number of subscribers is too small, he can't even eat chicken legs.
Sometimes you have to save money when you order takeout, KFC doesn't dare to order it, and it's almost the same to eat a Wallace.
Having said so much, readers who have the ability to read the genuine version and are willing to read the genuine version are welcome to subscribe to this book, and the author sincerely appreciates! )
