Chapter 430: Nebula Trophy
"Me?" Tom said, "Today I'm going to go around the area where Anderson was killed, and see if I can find clues, the damn murderer actually caused me to carry the blame, don't let me know who it is." Gritting his teeth, he waved his fist the size of a casserole.
"Today? How about Tom do me a favor. Su Shichen's head turned to his heart.
"Of course there is no problem, Su you can just say."
"How about helping me be a model," Su Shichen said.
Tom was dumbfounded, "Model? The kind of guy who walks the catwalk? I can't do that kind of thing. ”
"Naturally, it's not a runway model, it's a comic book model, you know "Superhero I Assembled". Tom nodded repeatedly, he liked it so much. "The second part of the superhero, our superhero will face a robot from the future 2080 T-800, T-800 is a human performance robot with very strong strength and recovery ability, this comic character is naturally a muscular man, I see Tom Your body is very strong and the muscles are in place, so take you as a prototype setting, how about there is no interest."
"Great!" You can participate in your favorite comics, how can you not be interested, so Tom immediately threw away the point of what found the real culprit, "No problem at all, I should do this." ”
was fooled in three or two sentences, Su Shichen really admired himself a little, don't say that the idea of adding a terminator to superheroes is really good.
Tom followed Su Shichen's instructions to take pictures alone in the room, while Su Shichen and Chen Ning went to attend the Nebula Award ceremony.
That is, yesterday, Tang Lingyu made an appointment to meet Su Shichen. There is no need to ask, it is a matter of betting, the bet between Su Shichen and Tang Lingyu is naturally won by Su Shichen, and then with Tang Lingyu's happy cooperation, Tang Lingyu officially joined the Los Angeles branch.
The Trident Project is a formal fact. Brother Dasha's science fiction novels, Tang Lingyu's literary novels, and then Su Shichen's "Sherlock Holmes Detective Collection" Part II, almost all the resources are almost put on this.
Sherlock Holmes is a novel that has already made its mark in Europe and the United States, especially in England, where it is almost enshrined as a mystery book. Of course, eggs can't be put in the same basket, another work of Su Shichen,. The English version of The Matrix is also going to be available in the United States.
Well, this is completely the rhythm of many black fans who have come to pit rice after pit China. The original "The Matrix" sold well in the whole of Europe, not to mention Su Shichen's version that was combined with the movie and then adapted. It is not too complicated and ensures the connotation, and maybe you can win a Hugo Award.
If there is no way to make the branch gain a firm foothold in the United States, it is called without hesitation, Su Shichen can only sacrifice the sales of the strange book "Da. The Vinci Code.
For Su Shichen, the only use of this kind of place besides going there is to know people outside the industry, and it took Su Shichen less than half a year from "The Frozen Throne" to now to achieve this kind of fame. But there are pros and cons to things, and Su Shichen's connections in the literary world of the United States are pitiful. The Nebula Awards are a great opportunity to expand your network.
After all, the authors who can be nominated for the Nebula Award cannot be underestimated.
"This must be Adolf. Writer Su, your "Frozen Throne" is very good, I have read it three times. "There was a white man in his forties, whose hair had ceased to be jet black, and had turned gray. But he still combed it meticulously, and he was a very personable uncle.
Su Shichen's expression moved, and Chen Ning on the side understood, and said in his ear without leaving a trace, "This is Levine, a famous science fiction and horror novelist, good at writing all kinds of science fiction and horror short stories, and the sales of this year's "Levine Short Story Collection" have exceeded 178000 copies. ”
This is the role of bringing Chen Ninglai, nodding slightly, and understanding, "I'm glad that "The Frozen Throne" can be to the taste of Levine's writers, and I also like Levin's works very much." It's like the article "The Man in the Cup" was when I came to the United States once in junior high school, and I saw it on "Science Fiction Writer", and I was amazed when I saw it, it should be a combination of science fiction and horror novels, Levin writer, your imagination really makes me admire. ”
"Haha. Don't say that, Sue's imagination is amazing. Levine's title for Su Shichen has changed, he is praised for his works, and he is still a writer of Su Shichen's level, so he is naturally very happy, and the most important thing is that Levine can also see that Su Shichen is sincere, and he is definitely not casually perfunctory.
Because although the short story "The Man in the Cup" is included in the "Levine Short Story Collection", in fact, it is an article that he serialized in the newspaper a few years ago, and this newspaper is "Science Fiction", which few people know, so Levine feels a kind of sincerity.
Immediately afterwards, Su Shichen opened up the aura of affinity, and the writers around him also accumulated more and more, and the ability to make friends was really not covered. The role played by Chen Ning on the side is in his mind, and before that, he had worked hard for the people nominated for the Nebula Award this time.
Looking at Su Shichen in the venue like the stars holding the moon, he couldn't help but feel admiration in his heart, because as long as he told Su Shichen his name, Su Shichen could immediately and accurately say more detailed information to talk to, giving people the feeling that Su Shichen had really seen it and really liked it.
To achieve this effect, it is necessary to have a terrifying accumulation of knowledge" No wonder Su Da's writing style is so changeable, and he can even control any subject matter casually, with such an astonishing amount of reading. ”
It's good to have more insiders, even if it's not poaching or something, for example, when you post your work, these authors help recommend it, which has a very big impact on the first day of sales.
……
"Old Kord, that's your worst enemy tonight?" Richard looked at Su Shichen like the stars and the moon.
At the Nebula Awards ceremony, a large discussion group was vaguely formed, seven or eight authors gathered together, and the center of this circle was Su Shichen, in fact, this situation is relatively rare, similar to the Oscar awards party, most of them are getting together with friends they know well.
And writers are more withdrawn than celebrities, so it is more difficult for such a situation to occur. In fact, this is also very easy to understand, although celebrities also have very strange personalities, but this is different from loneliness, most celebrities want to participate in some activities or press conferences, but most of the writers are writing at home, or traveling alone to find inspiration, simply put, many authors are not very good at communicating.
Richard and Corde are old friends, and they were rivals when they were younger. A person can do without friends, but not without opponents. After both Richard and Kod announced their closures, their relationship changed from rivals to friends.
"Yes, a very talented author." Ke De's evaluation at this time was exactly the same as when he faced the interview with reporters after the defeat of the confrontation, no matter what he thought in his heart, there was one thing that could not be changed, that is, he lost to Su Shichen.
"It doesn't look like anything special." Richard was a little unconvinced, and walked in the direction of Su Shichen, Richard and Kede have been fighting for almost half their lives without winning or losing, but they were won by Su Shichen in the confrontation, do you think he can be convinced?
Half-ringing......
Richard sighed, "Old Kode, you're really not wrong, that Adolf. Sue is really amazing. ”
"What's wrong?" Cord looked at Richard in surprise.
"Adolf. Sue's excellence is that he can talk about topics that interest you and put them on your lips, and my first sentence was very blunt, but he immediately recognized me, and also said my first novel. ”
"God, when was my first novel published, thirty years ago or thirty-five years ago, anyway, even I, the author, I don't remember, but he said it accurately, and not only that, but he also knew the rest of my works, as if he had read all my works, and I almost thought he was my loyal reader, but then I found out that he seemed to have read the works of all the authors around him." In fact, Richard was also quite depressed, originally his idea was to go and get off the horse, but before the horse was released, he was interrupted by Su Shichen's series of words.
For someone who really likes his work and also has a deep opinion about it, how do you make Richard angry?
"If that's just it, it's not worth my surprise, because at most Adolf has read a lot of books about science fiction, and what I admire is that he is the central character of the topic, chatting with seven or eight people around him at the same time, and in this case, it can also ensure that everyone is not ignored, this kind of language control ability is terrible, I think he should be more of a talk show host, I think it is definitely more suitable for him." A person can only speak with one mouth, even if he can speak well, but it is really impossible to reach Su Shichen's level.
"Su Shichen is a genius in the truest sense of the word, both as a cartoonist and as a writer." Kede said seriously, "And you don't know yet, Su Shichen is a speaker and linguist. ”
"Speaker, linguist?" Richard seems to be a little behind in the news.
""I Have a Dream", which was selected as the third in the world's top 100 speeches, was written by him, and Esperanto, which was promoted not long ago, was also created by Su Shichen.
Richard took a deep breath before he said, "The greatest genius of this century, this assessment is indeed correct. ”
ps:
ps: Regarding the problem of the plot of the water chapter, explain, on the contrary, the kitten has been speeding up the plot, and there may be some pits that will be missed, but they will make up for it in an extra way, such as what happened to Sherlock Holmes before, why did Su Shichen almost put his life in danger, and the other three bows, these should be put outside.
Today's two watches, it's really annoying, it's a headache and being reported.
