Chapter 179: Grand Slam
"But please rest assured, when our work is on the right track, I believe that in the future, the winners of the Galaxy Award will definitely receive material rewards in addition to reputation! I promise that! Worried about the uproar in the audience, Wu Dingbai hurriedly added. [Shrimp literature
At this time, Wu Dingpai's mood was a little lost, but there was no prize for awarding the award, which was indeed a fly in the ointment, and their preparatory team had no solution to it at all. In order to achieve a blockbuster this time, in order to achieve the ultimate perfection, he and Ye Yonglie and other planners really worked hard, but unfortunately the problem of bonuses could not be solved
The Science Fiction Literature Committee will have financial allocations in the future, but it will not quench the thirst of the near. They had found an external unit, but no one wanted to put money into it for nothing.
Looking for science fiction magazines such as Science and Art and the Tree of Wisdom?
Forget it, although the science fiction industry has lifted the crisis, but these magazines have long been damaged in the spiritual clean-up campaign, and they can't take care of themselves, where is the spare money. Yang Xiao, the president of "Science and Art", personally pushed a tricycle to promote his magazine
Wu Dingpai was worried that the lack of prize money for the Galaxy Award would disappoint the science fiction writers in the audience, but in fact, none of the science fiction writers present minded about it.
So everyone began to express their attitude with applause.
A science fiction writer in the front row stood up from his chair and said loudly: "Comrade Dingpai, you have done a good enough!" It doesn't matter, the future of our science fiction community is still long! ā
His words were immediately approved by everyone, and many people loudly cheered for Wu Dingpai's encouragement.
Hearing everyone's words, Wu Dingpai cheered up again.
There are such science fiction authors, "China's science fiction literature will definitely radiate new vitality."
He suppressed the regret in his heart and said loudly to Jianjian: "So............ Next, let's start the jaw award ceremony of the inaugural Galaxy Awards! ā
"Because the Galaxy Award is held for the first time, and because many science fiction works in the harsh winter of the science fiction industry in the second half of last year cannot be published publicly, after serious discussion by the preparatory team, it was finally decided that the works selected for this year's Galaxy Award will be all science fiction works published or published on the public Liu Wu from 1980 to March 1984." Wu Dingpai said as he glanced at the back of the auditorium where Govin was
The reason for such a decision is also full of caution from several of them, after all, no one wants to see all the awards being won by one person, let alone them.
"Next, Comrade Ye Yonglie is invited to come to the stage to read out the selection rules."
Ye Yonglie walked up to the rostrum with a piece of manuscript paper, and then read it out seriously
Entries for the Galaxy Award must be works of science fiction literature, and all works must be entered in regular publications.
The scope of the Galaxy Award in the character category shall be citizens and community organizations of the People's Republic of China, and the qualifications for selection shall be those engaged in the creation or creativity of Chinese science fiction.
The scope of the Galaxy Award is for Chinese science fiction works published within one year, and the time is subject to the publication indication.
The list of candidates for the Galaxy Award shall be recommended by the readers to the Organizing Committee of the Galaxy Award"The Organizing Committee shall propose the list recommended by the Organizing Committee on the basis of the list recommended by the readers, and then the shortlist of the Galaxy Award shall be decided by the readers by voting" Under the premise of following the principle of avoidance, the Organizing Committee shall determine the list of expert review committees, and the finalists shall not enter the expert group. [The Xiami Literature Expert Review Committee will select the final list of winners under the premise of full discussion.]
After Ye Yonglie lowered his head and read out the charter on the manuscript paper in his hand, he breathed a sigh of relief, raised his head and continued: "Considering the actual situation, the preparatory team of this Galaxy Award decided that the selection scope of the candidates and characters for the first Galaxy Award is set to be science fiction works published in regular publications from the beginning of 1980 to March 1984, and the selection scope of the character award is also the same. In addition, due to the urgency of time, the candidates and characters for this Galaxy Award will be recommended by readers and writers on the spot. ā
Hearing Ye Yonglie's words, most of the people present were in an uproar, it turned out to be the on-site selection and on-site awards?
Suddenly, many people have developed great confidence that this Galaxy Award will definitely be the most authoritative literary award in China
"I want to state that the first Galaxy Award has taken unconventional measures because of the special situation" This is the first and only exception to the Galaxy Award, starting from the second Galaxy Award, we will strictly follow the selection principles and processes of the Galaxy Award, Ye Yonglie ignored the sensation in the audience and continued.
"The staff will then hand out two pieces of paper to everyone present" on one blank form for the Galaxy Awards, and the other on the names of science fiction works and authors published in China between 1980 and March 1984. Please refer to the papyrus with the name of the work and the author, and write down the candidate works and characters you recommend for the Galaxy Award on the blank form. Please note that this is related to the fairness and success of the Galaxy Award" is a very strict matter, please be sure to fill it in carefully.
Next, there was no sound in the entire auditorium, except for the rustle of pen tips on paper, and the occasional whisper of someone muttering to themselves.
The entire referral process lasted almost an hour.
After the staff collected all the forms, a special statistician began the intense statistical work on the spot.
Ye Yonglie turned his head to look at the audience and said: "The people who are counting the results now are all students from the Department of Mathematics of Sichuan University who volunteer to help. After they finish counting for a while, the organizing committee will decide on the recommended list, and then the readers will vote to determine the final shortlist of the Galaxy Award, and finally the expert review committee will determine the final list of winners. ā
After Ye Yonglie finished talking about the next selection procedure, he continued: "In order to avoid suspicion, our preparatory team decided not to serve as the organizing committee and the expert review committee. So next, ask the science fiction writers to elect 10 people to serve as members of the Galaxy Award Organizing Committee, and also ask the science fiction fans sitting in the back to select 100 representatives to serve as the readership. As for the final expert review committee, I would like to mention that Mr. Osamu Iwakami of Japan, Comrade Yang Xiao, the president of Science and Art, and two science fiction writers and a science fiction fan are selected to serve as members of the expert review committee. ā
Ye Yonglie's construction was unanimously approved by everyone present.
So an old well-known science fiction writer was elected to serve as the organizing committee.
A sci-fi fan is also determined in the shouting.
In addition to Osamu Iwagami and Yang Xiao, Lan Mao joined in on behalf of the readers, "and the two science fiction writers can't be determined for the time being, after all, no one can be sure whether there are their own works in this final shortlist, and they can only be determined after the shortlist is announced."
Soon after, a female student from Sichuan University with glasses handed the final results of their statistics to Ye Yonglie, who was standing on the podium.
Ye Yonglie took it and looked at it, and he felt a little dizzy, because there are so many recommended works and characters on this list.
He shook his head and handed the list to a staff member, who led the 10 members of the organizing committee into the auditorium studio.
After more than ten minutes, the ten members of the organizing committee walked out, and they had already determined the list of recommendations.
And then there's the 100 sci-fi fan representatives.
In this process, the whole venue was solemn, and everyone remained silent, "especially those who have decision-making power, they must be worthy of their conscience, their concern for the Chinese science fiction community and their love for science fiction."
When the representatives of science fiction fans spent half an hour to determine the shortlist of the Galaxy Award and handed the list to Ye Yonglie on the rostrum, the entire venue was silent.
Everyone's eyes were firmly fixed on the piece of paper in Ye Yonglie's hand.
Regardless of whether you win the award in the end or not, as long as you get on that piece of paper, it represents an achievement
Ye Yonglie's heart was also very excited, for this conference, for this award, he has paid too much hard work.
Ye Yonglie lowered his head and looked at the manuscript paper in his hand, "Then he was suddenly shocked."
How so?
I don't know how long it took for Ye Yonglie to come to his senses, and then he first glanced meaningfully at Wu Ding on the side of the rostrum, and then said to Jianjian: "The shortlist of the first Galaxy Award has come out, and then I will copy the list of these shortlisted works and characters on the blackboard" and then asked the science fiction writers in the audience to do their best to select two expert judges. ā
After saying this, Ye Yonglie turned around and came to the blackboard on the side of the rostrum, which was not covered by posters, and began to copy the names of works and people on the manuscript paper.
Ye Yonglie first wrote the names of the shortlisted science fiction works, and with his writing, the whole audience set off a huge sensation.
"Rural Teacher" was shortlisted.
"2012" was shortlisted.
"Heartbreaker" was shortlisted.
"China Sun" was shortlisted.
"Red China" was shortlisted.
"Survival Real YĆ n" was shortlisted.
"Poetry Cloud" was shortlisted.
"Full-Band Blocking Interference" was shortlisted.
"Song of Life" was shortlisted.
"For the Way of Heaven" was shortlisted.
"The Inquisitor" was shortlisted.
"Earthfire" was shortlisted.
"Chaowen Dao" was shortlisted.
The work awards of the Galaxy Award are divided into: one special award, one masterpiece award, two excellence awards, and five reader nomination awards. The specific award method is to vote for the shortlisted works by readers, and then the expert review committee will decide the final award according to the discussion of the shortlist.
But looking at the names of science fiction novels written by Ye Yonglie on the blackboard, there are thirteen of them, all of which are Govyn's works
It's amazing
Although everyone present knew that the protagonist of the first Galaxy Award was definitely Gowen, no one thought that Gowen would be so powerful, "All science fiction works have been shortlisted."
That's pretty shocking, isn't it?
Countless people gasped.
Even Govin himself was frightened.
Well, isn't that an exaggeration?
Ye Yonglie heard the discussion behind him, "A wry smile appeared on the face facing the blackboard, and the more surprised ones were still to come."
He went on to write

Ye Yonglie wrote while letting out a long sigh in his heart, he knew that this was the case, so why bother to be clever and deliberately prolong the time.
Behind him are still the incredible science fiction writers.
The sci-fi fans sitting at the end of the auditorium applauded, patting the shoulders of the more than 100 reader representatives around them, giving them a thumbs up and exclaiming: "Yes, even if I go in to comment, that's what it is!" ā
"Next, we will ask five expert judges to determine the final award-winning works and characters." Ye Yonglie finished copying the list in his hand, and then returned to the brief again, looked at the five experts who had been selected and said.
So Osamu Imagami, Lan Mao and the other five entered the studio of the auditorium.
All eyes in the auditorium were focused on the closed doors of the studio, and it wasn't long before the final result would be known from there.
After another ten minutes, the five expert judges walked out, and all the people who were paying close attention suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts for some reason.
The previous apprehension, the previous anxiety were all loosened at this moment, and no matter what, the result was finally out.
It was Lan Mao who took the final result to the rostrum, and she handed the manuscript paper in her hand to Ye Yonglie, but Ye Yonglie didn't take it, but said to her: "Miss Lan Mao, it's up to you to announce the final result." ā
"How does this work?" Hearing Ye Yonglie's words, Lan Mao suddenly became a little at a loss.
Ye Yonglie smiled and said, "Although it feels a bit exaggerated, Govin is right, you and the readers behind you are indeed the most important cornerstone for us science fiction writers!" So, this right is what you deserve. ā
After that, Ye Yonglie patted Lan Mao's shoulder and walked off the rostrum.
Then, it didn't take long for Lan Mao's somewhat timid voice to echo throughout the hall as the words were amplified
