"The World of Mechanics" is the masterpiece of the late science fiction novelist Louis C. It is a series of works, with a total of seven books, spanning fifteen years, basically one book every two years.
And this "World of Mechanics" brought Louis five Nebula Awards and Hugo Award trophies.
This is undoubtedly a masterpiece in the science fiction world and a science fiction treasure in the hearts of countless science fiction fans.
Moreover, this novel has also been made into a series of seven movies. The total box office of this series is as high as 8.9 billion US dollars.
However, the author Louis had passed away three years ago, which was not long before Zhang Zhong returned to this world. At that time, Zhang Zhong was deeply saddened to learn that Louis had passed away. After all, Zhang Zhong was also a fan of Louis' books.
Every year at the beginning of the Nebula Awards Ceremony, we commemorate the deceased. In the past two years, we have not mourned Louis. Many book fans still have some objections, but they did not expect that this link would be included this year.
Hard Wade performed on the stage for a while, and Hilde came back and began to lead everyone to mourn Louis.
"He once described the world with adventure and told the stars with technology. Many years ago, when Louis stood on the edge of the trading dock in his hometown and watched the sails of cargo ships coming and going, the romantic fantasy of traveling around the world sprouted in his heart.
.Many years later, when he traveled through mountains and rivers, through wind, rain, snow and fog, through spring, summer, autumn and winter, the real world could no longer..."
"Perhaps Louis' journey has not stopped, he has just walked on a road that we cannot yet understand and reach."
After the memorial session ended, the formal awarding began.
There are many awards to be announced at the Hugo Awards Ceremony, too many to count. There are also two non-Hugo Awards that will also be announced at the Hugo Awards, namely the Lumbell Newcomer Award and the Best Young Adult Novel Award.
At the beginning, the awards were awarded with less presence, such as Best Amateur Painter Award, Best Fan Podcast Award, Best Fan Magazine Award, Best Amateur Author Award, Best Editor (Length, Short Story), and the Best Fan Magazine Award.
Best Professional Painter Award, Best Comedy Performance Feature Film Award, Best Comedy Performance Short Film Award, Best Picture Book, Best Related Work.
Just by hearing the names, you can tell that these awards are not important awards.
After these awards are handed out, people will be concerned about the work awards.
The award for the best short story was awarded first, and the winning work was "Norse Mythology: A New Edition", written by Omar, a little-known female writer.
The winner of the Best Short Novella Award is also a female writer, and the winning work is "The Woman Who Stole Tomatoes".
It must be mentioned that in recent years, female writers have won Hugo Awards more and more frequently.
The winner of the Best Novella Award was "The Gates of the Heart" by Sheenan McGuire.
"Heart Gate" is the first book that Zhang Zhong has known about so far, because it is also the winner of this year's Nebula Award. The novel tells a somewhat dark story. The children in the book often appear inexplicably, and then appear in another place.
Once a place appears, if you don't go there, you can never come back.
After the novella award is awarded, it is not the turn of the novel award yet. Before the novel award is awarded, three more awards need to be awarded, namely the Lumbell Newcomer Award, the Youth Novel Award and the Best Series Award.
After these three awards were awarded, it was finally time for the highlight of the Hugo Awards - the Best Novel Award.
The Hugo Awards has so many awards, but people often remember only a few awards in the end. When most people mention the Hugo Awards, they may only know the Novel Award.
"Good evening everyone, the moon is beautiful tonight."
Llorente stood on the stage and said with a smile.
Of course there is no moon tonight. This is just a not-so-funny joke made by Llorente, but the people below all laughed in support, cheering for the king of support. This is a polite feedback.
Zhang Zhong looked at Llorente on the stage and curled his lips unconsciously.
Just after the Lumber Newcomer Award was awarded, he realized that Llorente next to him was missing. Unexpectedly, this guy actually ran up to be the award guest.
"This is the second time I've been on stage at the last moment of an award ceremony, but to be honest, it felt better the last time."
Llorente made a joke of his own, and the last time he mentioned was the time when he won the Best Novel Award.
Of course it felt better last time. The person presenting the award was never as bright as the smile on the face of the recipient.
"Let's first take a look at some of the novels shortlisted for the Best Novel Award this year. The first one is "Garden of the Rock Kingdom" by the author Enrique. My old friend, congratulations on being able to win in such a fierce situation this year.
Shortlisted, you are much better than me. For your second book, "Fort on the Moving Castle", Valverde, I have to say that your ability to name names is not very good. If you publish another work next time, you can come and ask me.
I'll give you some better options."
When Llorente talked about these two books, the camera also showed Enrique and Valverde. Faced with Llorente's sarcasm, they could only smile in return. After all, they are all old friends.
Llorente paused and continued, "The third book is "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea", the fourth is "Ender's Game", the fifth is "Three-Body 2: Dark Forest", and the sixth is "Bionics"
Do people dream of electric sheep?" When I first saw this list, I thought I had read it wrong. I was thinking, my God, can one person have four novels shortlisted at the same time?
?Then I thought, Oh my God, this guy wrote four novels in one year?"
Shrugging his shoulders: "This is the reality, and people write more than these novels in a year. Enrique, Valverde, now you know why I said the competition is so fierce this year, after all, even pz is still
There are two novels that were not shortlisted."
Everyone laughed, except Valverde and Enrique, who really couldn't laugh at such black humor. If they didn't have a good relationship with Llorente, they really wanted to go up and beat him up.
"Okay, let's take a look at the big screen."
The big screen is to introduce all six shortlisted novels.
After all six novels were introduced, Llorente held the card and smiled and said, "Now comes the exciting moment. I announce that the work that won the Hugo Award for Best Novel is——"
Llorente drawled a long note, and then said simply and forcefully, "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea, congratulations pz!"
At this time, the theater burst into applause, and Zhang Zhong was about to stand up to receive the award, but Llorente pressed his palms and said, "Don't worry, everyone, because I haven't finished reading the list of winners. In "Under the Sea [Begonia Bookstore www.
htsw.info] There is a book title behind "Twenty Thousand Miles", which is——"
Another long sound.
""Three-Body 2 Dark Forest", congratulations again pz."
