After hearing the award, Hou Muyun was still very excited, and it was rare to show a handful of affection and sprinkle dog food in public, and his first reaction was to kiss Chu Qing beside him. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The Nebula Award is the grand prize for science fiction, and it is more precious than the Hugo Award, at least for non-American writers. The Hugo Award is open to the whole world, and the Nebula Award is relatively a private place for American writers, and the selection of works is much more demanding than the Hugo Award.

Hou Muyun came to the stage to accept the award, today he will naturally not dress so perversely like yesterday when he participates in such an occasion, today's clothes are matched by Chu Qing, very formal, of course, very handsome.

"I guess you're disappointed, right?"

Hou Muyun took the trophy and thanked him, walked to the microphone, and when he opened his mouth, everyone was stunned, and after waiting for three seconds, he continued to smile: "I'm very disappointed that I didn't come here in yesterday's shirt today, right? Actually, I want to wear it like that, but my fiancée doesn't allow it, saying that this is a serious occasion." I don't know if this occasion is really that serious, but one thing I do know is that my fiancée's expression is very serious. ”

Hou Muyun's English is very standard and fluent, and the words used are also the words that these authors like, plus the voice is very good, and the content is very funny, which naturally caused bursts of applause and good-natured laughter.

"It's a thrill for me to win the Nebula Award, and I would like to thank ......."

Hou Muyun said a lot of names, this is really not a word of thanks according to the key, but a thank you that is easy to blurt out when standing here at this moment.

"When science comes to the final stage, imagination meets science, and then science fiction comes in. This was my first and most fundamental understanding of science fiction, and it was also a basis for my creation. Many people ask me if what happened in Future Wars will actually appear in our future. A lot of people were just as serious when they asked, and it was clear that this was the question they asked me after thinking about it. This makes me happy, even more than winning the Nebula Award, because my novels provide some people with space to think or guide them to think, and I don't think any writer can be happier and more fulfilled than this. ”

"And what about the answer? I think ........"

After thanking him, Hou Muyun made a speech of about five minutes according to the request of the organizer, and the content of the speech was extended from "Future War Chronicle", talking about the future and imagination.

The content of Hou Muyun's speech is very interesting, and the perspective of thinking is also very novel, all in all, it is a successful speech, a speech that has received many applause, and it will also be a speech that will be circulated on the Internet.

The United States is a particularly popular country for speeches, especially about success and imaginative speeches, and Hou's five-minute speech went on to become one of the most successful speeches in North America this year.

Of course, this speech also broke the hearts of many fans in North America, who actually had a fiancée at such a young age, bad reviews. As for domestic netizens, they said that this bowl of dog food was very refreshing, and those who dared not to show their affection and expose their status at home in such an important award speech were also very convinced!

After the awards party, the organizer had a cocktail party, Hou Muyun and Chu Qing, a pair of golden boys and girls, won the grand prize again, and became one of the protagonists of the cocktail party, and Hou Muyun also took this opportunity to meet some well-known writers and cultural celebrities. During this period, he also received olive branches from several studios, apparently for "Future War".

In addition, Hou Muyun was pleasantly surprised to meet Dr. Albert, who was the international judge when he swept the Neon Brain King team, Dr. Albert is not only a member of the presidium of the World Brain Sports Association, but also has many titles including a member of the Royal Academy of England and a decorated academician, and another identity is a special judge of the Nebula Award.

"HOU, it's an honor to see you again, you are really a person who can bring so many surprises to the world. ”

Dr. Albert and Hou Muyun chatted a lot, and they chatted very happily, and they also took Hou Muyun to meet many important people at tonight's reception.

Finally, to Hou's surprise, Dr. Albert sent an invitation to Hou Muyun to give a lecture at Cambridge University.

"Dr. Albert, I am surprised and ashamed of your invitation!"

Hou Muyun thought about it and declined, but it was really because he didn't know what to talk about in such a higher education institution, of course, a specific trip to England was not very realistic for Hou Muyun.

Dr. Albert expressed regret, but also expressed great sincerity: "HOU, don't say no so early. I think you will always go to England in the future, my invitation will always be valid, and the doors of Cambridge will always be open for you. ”

This really flattered Hou Muyun.

It was already late for the reception to end, so the next day, Hou Muyun pushed other arrangements and went to Hou's father and mother with Chu Qing. After winning such an important award, he felt that he should share it with his family earlier, and for people like Chu's father and Chu's mother, who were already intellectuals, this award was very important and an honor, and it was more important than anything to make his family's face shine.

And sure enough, as Hou Muyun thought, when he arrived at the residence of Hou's father and mother, there were already many people here, all of whom were good friends of Hou's father and mother in LA. When they knew that Hou Muyun was coming today, they immediately called all the old friends in LA, nothing more, just to "show off" their precious son-in-law to their old friends!

When it comes to the life realm of Hou's father and mother, if you want wealth and wealth, you have anything, to be honest, there are really not many things that are worth "showing off", and even their sons don't feel that there is anything to "show off" on the Forbes China Rich List for several consecutive years, but this time is different, maybe for them cultural people, this is a "glorious lintel" thing. Of course, it is also possible that wealth is already something that is taken for granted, and such honors are "accidental".

Most of the old friends of Hou's father and mother are retired professors or scholars and celebrities, not to mention, they still eat this set. Some of them also know that the son-in-law of the Hou family is a star, even if it is a star who is famous, they don't care, but when they won the Nebula Award, they are all very envious, and they sigh with emotion Chu Yunshen and Magnolia have a good son-in-law!

In fact, to put it bluntly, this group of old men and grandmothers like the uncles and aunts who visit the vegetable market also like to compare with their juniors, but they rarely compare money.

At the same time, not long after learning that Hou Muyun won the Nebula Award, Ruicheng City was specially led by the deputy mayor to Hou Muyun's home for condolences and congratulations.
