Grandpa's great writer

Chapter 378 Three Finalists
After looking at the gallery for a while, the two girls' minds were mostly on the octopus balls.Liu Minya couldn't care less about appreciating her little sister's works, and Peng Peng couldn't care less about showing off to others.

Zhang Chong also saw that they were not thinking, so he took them to a nearby snack street to buy octopus balls.

After buying the octopus balls and taking the two little girls, Zhang Zhong first went to Mengmu Xiaozhu to pick up Xu Yuhan, and then the four of them went straight back to Zhang Chong's house.

Xu Yuhan came to teach, Liu Minya and the others were all there, so there was no need to send her home.Zhang Chong's house has now become a studio, and Liu Minya and the others' painting tools are all here.

On the way back, while eating octopus balls, Pengpeng couldn't wait to tell Xu Yuhan about the praise she had just had.

"Mr. Xu, just now a big brother said that my paintings are very good, just like the great painter Le Saishang."

"Music Merchant?" Xu Yuhan didn't understand, who is the Music Merchant?
Zhang Zhong, who was driving in front, said, "It's Seshang, she's overheard."

Xu Yuhan was stunned, "It's him, someone praised Pengpeng's painting as the same as Saishang?"

"more or less."

Xu Yuhan covered her mouth and smiled, "Then this person is quite artistic."

"Mr. Xu, who is the plug?" Pengpeng was not ashamed when he heard that he said the wrong name, and showed a studious attitude.

"Sai Shang, he is a French writer who has been dead for more than 100 years."

"Ah, it has been more than 100 years, and I was not born at that time." Peng Peng said.

"Well, I wasn't born either." Liu Minya echoed.

"Yes, we were not even born at that time." Few people who were born at that time are still alive, and if they are alive, they are at least 110 years old.

Nothing to do, Xu Yuhan was going to have a few more words with Pengpeng and the others, and it was like taking time to take an art history class.

"Sai Shang was very famous in the past, and he was the master of post-impressionism. When he was about to die, he was praised as the father of new art. As a pioneer of modern art, Western modern painters called him the father of modern art... Peng Peng, don't you Hurry, wait for me to finish." Xu Yuhan saw that Pengpeng wanted to talk, so she asked her not to worry, "You don't need to understand these impressionist and modern art, let me tell you about his artistic ideas. He The artistic thinking of the artist is mainly reflected in the pursuit and expression of the sense of volume of the object..."

Xu Yuhan said a lot at the beginning, even Zhang Zhong might not be able to fully understand it, let alone the two children.

She didn't expect the two little girls to understand directly, but she still said it because she wanted to leave a little impression on the two girls, and maybe this impression would become a humble seed that took root in their hearts germination.

Of course, she wouldn't just say something that they didn't understand. After talking about the theory, she began to explain it to them in combination with the reality and the drawings of the two girls.

By the time I got home, an art class was over.

After returning home, Xu Yuhan was not in a hurry to teach them how to draw because there were still a few students who hadn't arrived.

Later, when the students arrived, Xu Yuhan officially began to give lectures. Zhang Zhong greeted her, and then went to work in the study.

After "The Last Starfish Man" was published, Zhang Zhong didn't have much work to do now.

"The Ordinary World" has been handed over to Chen Qing. He is doing nothing now, and there are still two books waiting to be published.

In addition to "Ordinary World", there is also "Tragedy on the Nile" which has not been published before.

It was originally planned to be published years ago, but in the current situation, "Tragedy on the Nile" will not be released until after "Ordinary World" comes out.

Zhang Chong now has [-] useless points in his hand, and he doesn't plan to use them. It's almost Chinese New Year, and he will be busy signing sales in a few days, and he is not in a hurry to draw works.

In addition, the big hole he dug for himself has not been filled much so far, and the students have accumulated a lot of homework without looking at it.

In the past two days, he also shifted his work center to this, and spent more time on homework every day, thinking that he could fill the hole he dug as soon as possible.

However, it didn't take long to review the homework. Zhang Zhong came out of the study and ran downstairs to cook for Xu Yuhan and the children.

Originally, Hu Huifang took care of all the cooking on weekends, but today the old couple went to their uncle's house, so Zhang Zhong had to do it by himself.

He's already used to it, after all, he usually does it.

……

Green Field Bookstore deserves to be the stronghold of Zhang Chong's book fans, because the nomination list for the Nebula Award will be announced tonight, and the small bookstore has already been crowded with people.

The announcement of the nomination list for the Nebula Awards was not broadcast live, but an announcement was made on their official website.

The previously announced time was announced at 08:30 a.m. local time in Washington, USA, and winter time is implemented in January, so China will announce it at 07:30 p.m.

It's just that the official nemesis of the Nebula Awards knows that not only the announcement of the nomination list will be irregular every year, but also the awards ceremony will be irregular, and even the scheduled time may not be accurate.

And they are not necessarily late, it is possible to announce earlier or later.

So Zhang Junwei stared at the computer screen after six o'clock, and kept refreshing the page, wanting to see if there was any new news on the official website.

"President, can you speak English well? Why don't you give me the computer and I'll show you."

Zhang Junwei didn't even raise his head, "Go cool off, I can't speak English, but I still know Zhang Chong's name."

"I'm afraid you have bad eyesight and can't find it. Besides, even if you see Zhang Zhong's name, you don't know what it is nominated for."

"I want to see for myself."

"It's hard to climb over the wall."

Zhang Junwei ignored him, his English was indeed average, but it was more than enough for this kind of nomination list.

Just when Zhang Junwei was a little tired from pressing F5 and was about to take a rest, a news popped up on the official website of the Nebula Awards.

Zhang Junwei's eyes lit up when he saw the news. In fact, he didn't need to speak English at all, because the nomination list directly attached the cover of the work.

The first shortlisted novel for a full-length novel was "Dune", and looking further down, it was even more incredible that "A Bouquet for Algernon" was followed by "Dune".

This is not over yet, among the medium and long stories, Zhang Zhong's "I, Robot" was also shortlisted.

Among the short stories, "The Wandering Sea Ball" also occupies a place.

But the strange thing is that there are many shortlisted works for the Novel Award of the Nebula Award this year. There are a total of eight novels. Excluding Zhang Zhong’s two novels, there are still six novels. The number of six novels is quite consistent with the number of shortlisted awards in previous years.

Looking at it this way, it seems that Zhang Zhong's two books are additional.
