Grandpa's great writer

Chapter 823 I Missed a Book
What is a profession?This is called professionalism.

The two commentators "argued", but they didn't delay the progress of the explanation at all. Basically, they introduced everyone who came up from the red carpet.

In fact, apart from Zhang Zhong and some other well-known science fiction writers, the audience is not interested in the red carpet.

According to the data, during the entire process of walking the red carpet, Zhang Zhonghefeng and the red carpet had the largest number of viewers, while Penny Austin's number of viewers was second only to Zhang Zhong and the others.

This proves that among the readers of science fiction, men must account for the majority.

Originally, Petunia Austin's red carpet partner was Zhang Zhong, but later Zhang Zhong chose to follow suit, and Penny Austin simply did not find another partner, and walked alone.

In fact, it's also good for her to walk the red carpet alone, and she can pose a few more poses.

……

Zhang Chong glanced at Linde next to him, and asked with a smile, "Where is that guy Daniel?"

Linde shook his head, "I don't know. I just heard that he was in the third row. I searched around but couldn't find him."

Zhang Zhong and Lin De's actions happened to be arranged together, but Llorente, Feng He and the others did not have such good luck.

The seating arrangement by the organizing committee is also quite realistic, and those sitting in the front row are all famous people.

Both Zhang Zhong and Lin De have huge fan circles around the world, so they sat in the second row.

Although Llorente won more awards than Linde, he had fewer fans, so he was placed in the third row.

Feng He sat further away, directly in the sixth row.

"Can't you find him with such a huge figure?" Zhang Zhong was about to turn his head to look for Llorente's position, but found that the red light of the camera in front of him was on.

This meant that the live broadcast cut to their side, so he had to wave his hand at the camera, and Linde next to him waved too.

"It can be seen that both Zhang Zhong and Lin De have no psychological pressure." In the live broadcast room, the host Hu Gang said with a smile.

Huang Lei joked, "Of course the two of them have no psychological pressure. Zhang Zhong basically has a chance to win, and Lin De has no works shortlisted this year. The result is no variable for the two of them."

Li Qin laughed inappropriately, "Fantasy works are still not very popular in the Nebula Awards, but Zhang Zhong's "Harry Potter" will be shortlisted for the Hugo Awards after a while. Do you two like it?"

"It's really hard to say. In fact, I haven't watched "Harry Potter" much." Huang Lei replied truthfully.

Hu Gang said with a smile, "Actually, I think for Zhang Zhong today, the Nebula Award and the Hugo Award are no longer his main goals. After all, he is also the winner of the Goncourt Literature Prize."

The reason why the host said this was also because they had raised Zhang Zhong too high, as if it was a certainty that Zhang Zhong would win the award. '

Although Hu Gang really believed that Zhang Zhong's award was a certainty from the bottom of his heart, but as the host, he still had to reserve his hands, otherwise, if Zhang Zhong didn't win the award, it would be too embarrassing.

Now that they said it this way, even if Zhang Zhong unexpectedly didn't win the award later on, the audience wouldn't think anything of it.

That's right, Zhang Zhong is the winner of the Goncourt Prize for Literature, and it is not rare for him to get a Nebula Award.

Although it is said that there is no distinction between high and low literature, most people would not think that the Nebula Award can be compared with the Goncourt Literature Award.

Li Qin also followed Hu Gang's topic and said, "It's actually quite interesting. Before, no one would have thought about the connection between the Goncourt Literature Prize and the Xingyun Prize. But now the situation is that a Goncourt Literature Prize The award winners sat at the Nebula Award ceremony and waited for the results together with other science fiction writers. If Zhang Zhong wins the award this time, it will directly create a new record, that is, on the stage of the Nebula Award For the first time there is a Goncourt laureate."

"Conversely, in fact, Zhang Zhong has already created a record at the Goncourt Literature Prize, that is, for the first time on the podium of the Goncourt Literature Prize, a winner of the Nebula Award and the Hugo Award .” Huang Lei took over the conversation with a smile.

"Haha, this kind of first time is too common for Zhang Zhong. Do you think it will happen in the future? There is a winner of the Hugo Award and the Nebula Award standing on the Nobel Prize in Literature podium."

Li Qin rubbed his chin, "When I mention this, I think this year's Hugo Award and Nebula Award shortlists have missed a book."

"Oh, which book?"

Huang Lei and Hu Gang showed puzzled expressions at the same time.

Not only the two of them, but also the audience in the live broadcast room were asking questions.

"It's Zhang Zhong's book." Li Qin kept his mouth shut and didn't directly mention which book.

The audience was even more confused. After thinking about it, they couldn't think of which book it was, because Zhang Zhong didn't write any science fiction novels last year, and everything he wrote had already been shortlisted.

"It's Lord of the Flies." Li Qin announced the answer, "Don't you think Lord of the Flies is a science fiction novel?"

The host Hu Gang wanted to shake his head, because he didn't think that the Goncourt Prize-winning work "Lord of the Flies" was a science fiction novel.

Huang Lei also reacted in the same way.

If the book "Lord of the Flies" has to say that it is science fiction, it means that the story takes place in a world war in the future.

But this is the only sci-fi.

If Lord of the Flies is classified as science fiction just because of this, then the scope of science fiction is too broad.

In the future, whenever something related to the future is mentioned, it can be classified as science fiction.

The reason why Hu Gang and the others don't think "Lord of the Flies" is a science fiction novel is because the future setting mentioned in it has no influence on the story itself.

If the story does not take place in a future world war, but a simple air crash, it is totally fine.

But Hu Gang and the others also know that Li Qin didn't mean to be serious when he raised this point, but just talked about this topic, so I will mention it by the way.

Just imagine, if "Lord of the Flies" is really classified as science fiction, then it can be shortlisted for this year's Hugo Award and Nebula Award.

That would be fun.

The award-winning works of the Goncourt Literary Prize appear in the shortlist of the Nebula Award and the Hugo Award. Just thinking about it is exciting.

Going back to what Hu Gang said about the Nobel Prize for Literature, if Zhang Zhong won the Nobel Prize for Literature in the future, and also won the prize for "Lord of the Flies", then this matter will be more interesting.

If this happens, the Hugo Award and the Nebula Award will have to be boasted: look at our award-winning works, and we can also win the Nobel Prize, which is high enough.

But having said that, many people have an idea.

The organizing committees of the Nebula Awards and Hugo Awards made a mistake. If one of them put "Lord of the Flies" on the list, wouldn't it immediately attract the attention of people all over the world?
The point is, if you really want to count, "Lord of the Flies" can still barely be included in science fiction.

After all, Penny Austin's "love story" can win an award.
