Chapter 121: Award Notice?
For writing, He Yun has always had some small habits.
For example, before "opening a new pit", it is necessary to collect the corresponding writing materials, and must write a rough outline and a detailed outline.
In addition, he actually has a habit of letting his brain slow down and rest for a while after every time he finishes writing a work.
During this period, although he will not write new works, he will also write something casually, or a diary, or a feeling after reading, or a random thought.
This time is no exception.
In the next few days, in addition to attending classes and reading books, He Yun's usual writing time was used to write something casually.
To this end, he also plans to find a time to sort out the diaries, caprices and after-reading feelings that he has accumulated in his daily life, and bind them into a book, together with the first drafts of his usual works and the writing materials he has collected.
When you are old in the future, you can take it out and flip it through to leave yourself with more memories worth remembering.
…………
On this day, He Yun returned to Yincheng Normal School after observing the public class from Yincheng No. 1 Middle School.
During this period, he naturally did not meet Gao Yunyan again, let alone take the initiative to disturb her.
The reason is very simple, because there are less than twenty days left before this year's college entrance examination pre-examination, and he is afraid that his visit will add trouble to her and affect her college entrance examination pre-examination results.
Therefore, he simply went back to his school after observing the open class.
It's just that when he passed by the guard's room, the doorman Uncle Zhang gave him another letter.
When he looked at the sender and the address, he couldn't help but be stunned.
"Huh? Why did Principal Zhao send this again? Is it a letter to me again? Magazine? Or is it a publishing house? ”
He Yun couldn't help but let out a small sigh, and opened the large envelope as he walked towards the dormitory.
Sure enough, as he expected, there was a letter and a piece of paper in the envelope.
He looked at the letter first.
After a few moments, he suddenly stopped and stood in front of the dormitory building.
At this time, he was holding the letter paper, but he couldn't cry or laugh.
"Why is Principal Zhao still bothering with my historical novel? Didn't I already tell the results...... Wait? ”
"I seem to ...... Probably...... I don't think he really was informed of the results, right? ”
Suddenly, He Yun suddenly remembered that he really hadn't informed him of the feedback from the publishing house.
"Alas...... During this time, I was really busy and dizzy, and I actually ignored this matter. ”
He Yun couldn't help but sigh, and then said to himself: "Forget it, I'll write a reply to him later, so that he won't keep worrying about it, but ...... What did Principal Zhao want to do with my historical novel? This seems like the fifth time he's mentioned it to me, right? ”
Muttering secretly, He Yun continued to walk towards the dormitory, and at the same time set his eyes on the envelope that had been sent together.
"Science fiction literary magazine, why was it sent by this magazine? I remember that the "Dream of the Future" I wrote earlier had already been authorized by them to publish it? Why did you send me another letter? ”
With a hint of doubt, He Yun took the letter and returned to the empty dormitory, he sat down at his desk, and then opened the letter.
There were two pieces of paper in the envelope, and he looked at it and saw that it was a notification letter.
Roughly speaking, the first "China Science Fiction Galaxy Award" will announce the final list of winners on October 25 this year, and the award ceremony will be held on October 29, and the venue is inside the auditorium in Jincheng.
In addition, the letter also attached a message, that is, the award-winning mechanism of the "Huaxia Science Fiction Galaxy Award", or the award-winning process.
First of all, the organizers of the "China Science Fiction Galaxy Award", that is, the "Wisdom Tree" magazine and the "Science Fiction Literature and Art" magazine, will publish the list of award committee winners in newspapers or other news media in late April, and the publicity period will be three months, and they will accept the public supervision of the masses.
The judges are all well-known "bigwigs" in the science fiction industry, and their number is singular.
After that, the award committee will screen the works recommended by various magazines, newspapers, publishing houses and other news units to select the 60 science fiction works that best meet the award criteria.
Finally, the judging panel will hold a secret ballot to select the first and second prizes that they think they recognize.
That's right!
At this time, the awards set up by the first "Chinese Science Fiction Galaxy Award" are only divided into A and B, and there is no first, second, and third prize.
Moreover, the first "Chinese Science Fiction Galaxy Award" is co-sponsored by the two magazines, so the "First Prize" and "Second Prize" will also be selected in two categories: "First Prize" and "Second Prize".
To put it more clearly, although this award is jointly awarded by the two magazines, the first and second prizes that can be awarded are each set up.
As for the number of award-winning works, it is tentatively set at five for each of the first prizes and six for the second prizes, that is, a total of 22 winners.
And because the "Science Fiction Literature" magazine had previously written to inform him that his science fiction short story "Dream of the Future" had been sent to the award committee.
So now, He Yun can basically determine through this letter that his science fiction short story "Dream of the Future" should already be one of the sixty science fiction works.
Although the letter does not mention the list of quasi-winners who will enter the "semi-finals", it is credible that at the beginning of next month, that is, early May, excerpts from some chapters of these 60 selected science fiction works will be published in the latest special monthly issue of Science Fiction Literature and Art.
In other words, whether his science fiction work "Dream of the Future" has been successfully selected into the list of sixty science fiction works will only need to be known by reading the latest special issue of "Science Fiction Literature and Art" magazine.
Perhaps, the "Science Fiction Literature and Art" magazine will send him a sample issue.
Thinking of this, He Yun's mood was naturally very excited.
After all, he has also written several works, although he has received a lot of remuneration, and has even published novels such as "Fanghua", and the works he wrote are about to be adapted into comic books, but for the work to win the award, this is the first time that the big girl has been on the sedan chair.
Although it may be too early to talk about the list of winners at this time, he is very confident in his work.
…………
Early in the morning of the second day, He Yungang sent a reply letter to President Zhao, and in the afternoon, he received another letter.
What's even more strange is that this letter turned out to be sent to him by Principal Zhao again.
"What's going on? Why did Principal Zhao send it again, could it be that the speed of sending letters has exceeded that of a certain wind express in recent years? ”
