Chapter 754: There are losses and gains, "Three-Body Problem 1" wins Hugo!
The word Puppy,Originally, it means a little milk dog.,It's the kind of puppy that's very cute and Q.,But once it's crazy.,It's amazing.。
The current organization, the crazy puppy, is very crazy, crazy to the point of being scared.
"The trash of "Three-Body Problem" does not deserve to appear in the shortlist of the Nebula Award!"
"The author is a yellow race, do yellow people know? They know what a! ”
"The heroine is still a girl, although I appreciate this girl's ruthlessness, but we must abandon such a thing!"
In Bai Shiqiu's eyes, these people are almost like cultists.
It's May, Bai Shiqiu originally wanted to bring the team to the United States, but a friend here said that there was no need at all, just you and Da Liu came over.
How can it be as simple as that?
When he arrived at the place, Bai Shiqiu realized that this American Nebula Award was very famous, but when he went to the place in person, he found that it was really a grass team.
In fact, Bai Shiqiu has more or less understanding of the grass platform team, he has heard of it, this kind of award is very famous, but this fame is the longing of many people in our country for this kind of award.
Now, what is the point of the grass platform team?
Let's just say that we are in China, Bai Shiqiu feels that the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival has the feeling of a grass stage team, because it changes places with one shot, but now looking at the Nebula Awards in the United States, this is a situation like a party.
Or a small party.
"Lao Bai, don't you know, the Hugo Award is more casual than this, it's just a group of enthusiasts and some authors, everyone comes out and chats casually."
It was Ming Shao, who was in charge of the reception this time, who drove a supercar, a Ferrari F12, and the result was that it attracted all kinds of attention...... Local tyrant, this is.
A group of so-called authors surrounded them, and of course there were many book fans, the authors earnestly hoped that their works would be adapted, while book fans talked about some of their own brains and messy ideas.
The situation at that time...... It's like a strange species!
It's not an exaggeration in vain, it's really like it, because I came to the scene to know that the fat people in the United States are all here?
The obesity index here is basically that except for Bai Shiqiu, even those who don't control their weight like Da Liu are not fat, and the rest are all fat and fat.
The body type of obesity is actually the standard body type of the middle and lower classes in the United States.
There is a feeling that the sling is open.
And then, that's when I met those two 'dog groups', sad puppies, crazy puppies.
These two groups, which can be said to be 'infamous', almost operated double awards last year, are making a comeback today, and their views are basically right-wing ideas in the United States.
Da Liu is yellow and Chinese, and his work was of course DISS by these two teams.
And the work "Three-Body Problem", which is now the first one, still performs quite well on Amazon, so I saw that these two dog groups began to behave as demons, as if they were holding small cards to demonstrate.
Bai Shiqiu and Da Liu faced this situation, and they both felt a little overwhelmed.
"Why is this American like this?" Da Liu was confused.
"That's all they have to do." Bai Shiqiu is considered well-informed.
Ming Shao laughed here, "Didn't you guys have any ideas about this award before?" ”
said this, as if Bai Shiqiu and Da Liu were in love.
Do you have any thoughts on winning the award?
But at this time, another person came, this person named Liu Kun is the translator of "The Three-Body Problem", he is a scholar himself, and he usually writes science fiction.
"Here it is, haha...... Don't mind this kind of thing, it's nothing. "Liu Kun is quite enthusiastic.
In fact, everyone has met before, and Bai Shiqiu also knows that Liu Kun's own works have also won the Nebula Award and the Hugo Award, but his works are short stories.
In this way, the number of people in our team is quite small, but the lineup is very strong.
Liu Kun quickly introduced the situation, and then understood what the truth was about.
How did these two teams of dogs come about?
In itself, the Nebula Award and the Hugo Award are indeed quite famous, and they are definitely high-end awards in the science fiction industry, which is true, but in fact, it is not so mysterious.
To put it simply, it is too awesome to be passed on by our people.
In essence, it is more similar to a party, or a grass platform team.
But it is precisely because of this that many things are not very standardized, which naturally gives people loopholes, and there is another reason for exploiting loopholes, that is, the main theme of the United States.
How does it have to do with the main theme of the United States?
It's very simple, whether it is the Nebula Award or the Hugo Award, these two awards, the award-winning works in recent years, are basically all highlighting the mainstream values of the United States, or the rigid values.
Books by people of color, black or Mexican, female, or male authors who kneel and lick women's rights, or whose books are books that kneel and lick black people and Mexicans and women's rights, can easily win awards.
Of course, what we are talking about here is the long story, these two awards, which really attracted everyone's attention, are now also long stories.
In recent years, these two awards have really been at the point where they are dying and not many people pay attention to them, and they have declined, precisely because this kind of judging standard has to cater to the mainstream values of the United States.
This...
This is the American version of a harmonious society!
Bai Shiqiu couldn't help but complain in his heart, that sentence, the rabbit is the biggest cent, this is simply it.
Forget it, don't say much, it's too much trouble.
Because of this harmony problem, the group of the two dogs appeared, simply put, they are both rightists, just like the Trump later, and they are both straight men.
It is a real straight male cancer patient.
Combining these conditions, "Three-Body Problem 1" was DISSED by these two organizations, which is normal.
These things, if you don't come in person, are really a little unexpected, and what Bai Shiqiu can't imagine is the decline of the current literary market in the United States.
It is said that the American literary market is good, how strong the publishing is, and how it is.
But what is it actually like?
Amazon, now the largest publisher, they are actually engaged in online publishing, this online publishing is particularly interesting, this is self-publishing, that is, you can publish works on the Internet in any way, this ...... It is very similar to our domestic online articles, and their threshold is lower.
There are also traditional publishers, but most of them just eat old books, or rely on a few well-known authors to mix.
Why do you have such a perception?
It's very simple data, let's just say Amazon, this is the biggest, and the sales are also great, but as far as science fiction is concerned, this literary genre is actually quite popular in the United States, among which several works shortlisted for the Nebula Award and Hugo Award this year, why did "The Three-Body Problem" attract so much attention?
Currently, the number of reviews of Amazon's "Three-Body Problem 1" is 178, with a very high score of 4.7.
Yes, that's the case.
This is a very popular book, but the data is so pitiful.
Don't say anything else, just look at the starting point, not to mention the popular books or gods, it's just a few hit the streets, and the number of comments is definitely more than that.
Let's just say there's a street truck called a black car, right?
He has thousands of comments on a book, and it is said that this girl has deleted a lot of scolding him.
Moreover, combined with the state of these so-called authors I saw before, they are all fat...... OMG.
Bai Shiqiu has not come to the United States once, and the middle and lower class people are this kind of physique.
It can be said that American writers, of course, are very awesome if they mix well, and Stephen King is like this, so he can just wave as much as he wants.
But most of them are very street-fighting, or rather, very street-fighting, maybe they can't even eat just by writing books. Even if he wins the Nebula Award or the Hugo Award, it is still a sling.
At this point, we are obviously better in China, let's just say that the black car, isn't it also a good way to eat.
It's a full-time job.
It has fully demonstrated the superiority of our socialism.
The 178 reviews of "The Three-Body Problem", which is the second place among all the shortlisted novels in the current Nebula Awards, you know, this book was on Amazon relatively late.
So, who is the biggest opponent?
"Lost in the South: Annihilation", the number of comments is more than 400.
"Wow! Lao Bai, this book is good, and it can be written quite well. "Da Liu, this guy is quite excited after watching this one.
After Bai Shiqiu synthesized all the circumstances, he said one thing to Da Liu, he naturally ignored Da Liu's excitement, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Seriously, do you want to win the award?" ”
Da Liu was stunned at this time, scratching his head, "Lao Bai, do you really have a way?" ”
Obviously, according to Da Liu's thoughts, he will travel at public expense this time, of course, this public house is Bai Shiqiu, he has a treat.
I don't want to win the award, not only the two dog groups are very fierce and can swipe tickets, but also the opponent is also very strong.
The work "Annihilation" is also the first part of the trilogy, "Lost in the South" was bought by Paramount for the copyright of the film and television adaptation before it was published, that is to say, this work is the work of a great god, the American science fiction god Jeff Vandermeer.
Moreover, the level of the work is indeed very high, and Da Liu also admires it.
However, take the prize!
This is the Nebula Award, a very high award in China, and it is definitely beneficial to win it.
To say that there is no thought at all, it is pure pretense.
"If I had a way, you would ...... Liu" Bai Shiqiu's smile at this time seemed to seduce Mephisto of Faust.
"This ...... Could it be that you have to swipe the ticket for nothing? "Da Liu is so smart, of course he can think of one of the means.
Bai Shiqiu said with a look of indifference: "Since the opponent swipes the ticket, then I will also swipe it, is there a problem with this?" ”
"emmm......" Da Liu didn't know how to answer.
Bai Shiqiu didn't speak, he was waiting, but after a long time, Da Liu squeezed out a sentence.
"It's a literary thing, so you have to talk about morality."
Bai Shiqiu laughed, and he said something very strange, "This is not a literary thing at all. ”
Da Liu thought about it and laughed along.
……
"The news is here! I'm on the spot! The voting results for the Nebula Awards are coming out!"
"Audience friends, we will bring you first-hand news on the spot, can "The Three-Body Problem" win the Nebula Award?"
On the day the voting results came out, it was very lively, basically the American media did not do live broadcast of the Nebula Awards, and many Chinese mainland media came to do the scene, which is really strange.
The result?
"Wow!"
"No, it won't!"
"I actually lost."
Lost!
The voting result was that "Annihilation" defeated "Three-Body Problem 1" and won the Nebula Award.
Of course, the dog team over there is very happy, and the more frustrated ones are the reporters from China, as well as some book fans and science fiction fans, who take the initiative to do text live broadcasts.
Next, of course, I want to interview Bai Shiqiu and Da Liu, it is precisely because of Bai Shiqiu that the media will come, so Da Liu will let him go first.
It's good, Bai Shiqiu was very cooperative this time, and even he simply said.
"It's just a press conference."
Great, all the reporters who came from afar were happy, and there were also book lovers, all of whom came to ask for autographs or something.
What will Bai Shiqiu say?
"I don't think the failure of "Three-Body Problem 1" this time is a failure, I believe that through the reports of your reporters, domestic book fans and movie fans can understand the reasons for the failure. This time, we didn't get justice! ”
Injustice, this is what Bai Shiqiu emphasized, but those who are familiar with him know that he has never liked to say anything just and unjust.
It's like the "cheating" he filmed, in this movie, he made it very clear about his views on 'fairness'.
It's strange, but no matter how many reporters there are, everyone has already started to write and try to get the news out as soon as possible.
"Bai Shiqiu and Da Liu suffered unfair treatment".
"American Right-wing Forces Impact Awards".
"Political Intervention in Literary Events".
That's it, that's it!
Moreover, Bai Shiqiu also gave these reporters a big gift package.
And what?
I only heard him make bold words, "We lost the Nebula Award this time, but we will never stop moving forward, and the next Hugo Award must belong to "The Three-Body Problem"!" ”
This is a FLAG!
Well, great, journalists love that.
Needless to say, the news that "The Three-Body Problem" missed the Nebula Award directly became popular on our domestic Internet, with all kinds of discussions and various statements.
Moreover, the two dog groups are also known to everyone.
Oh, that's how the U.S. awards look!
Before, many people did not know these truths, but this time the revelation has shattered the 'American dream' of many people.
It turns out that the politics talk about there is even more terrifying.
So, the question is, the next Hugo Awards, in the end...
More than two months later, at the World Science Fiction Convention, the Hugo Awards were officially announced, and the result was ......
"Won the award! Won the award! ”
"Awesome! "The Three-Body Problem" really won the Hugo Award! ”
"I was there and I was in tears."
In the five rounds of voting, "Three-Body Problem 1" was all significantly ahead of "Annihilation" and won the Hugo Award.
So what did Bai Shiqiu do about this?
"Lao Bai, tell me, I beg you, why are you doing this?" Da Liu was excited, but he was more curious.
That's right, he said at the beginning that he also wanted the Nebula Award, but why did he lose the Nebula Award and win a Hugo Award?
Wouldn't it be better to win both awards?
Well, needless to say, Bai Shiqiu played a trick, that is, swiping votes against swiping tickets, could he not afford to swipe, and then just concentrate on one award to swipe?
No, no, no.
But I heard Bai Shiqiu say with a smile: "Da Liu, look at the domestic heat on this matter." ”
This...
Da Liu understands in seconds, really understands in seconds, "Lao Bai, your means are really high!" ”
