Grandpa's great writer

Chapter 826 Seven Trophies
"No surprises, no accidents, just as we expected, "Wind-up Girl" finally won this year's Nebula Award for novels. Last year, Zhang Zhong only published one full-length science fiction novel, but he also gave readers It brings such a cruel and real world. The ingenious POV perspective brings us the ultimate reading experience, Chen Fusheng, Anderson, Mieko..."

"In addition, Linde seems to have missed a record. The award of "A Clockwork Girl" not only made Zhang Zhong the first author in history to win the Xingyun Award for Best Novel for three consecutive years, but also made him the first author in history The author with the most Nebula Award trophies. Prior to this, this title belonged to the famous American science fiction novelist Willis. Willis has won the Nebula Award six times, and it has been 30 years. Just tonight, Zhang Chong It broke the 30-year-old record and became the No.1 in history. And we have reason to believe that as long as Zhang Zhong is still writing, then this record will be broken by himself continuously.”

When Linde announced that the Best Novel Award belonged to "Wind-Up Girl", Hu Gang picked up the manuscript that he had prepared and read it high-spiritedly.

There is still one thing that Hu Gang has not said in his mind, that is, he believes that apart from Zhang Zhong himself, this record will no longer be broken by anyone, unless the Lucky Award will expand the types of awards wildly in the future, and dozens of awards will be awarded in one session.

However, if this is the case, can it still be called the Nebula Award?
As a professional host, of course it is impossible to prepare only one manuscript.

In fact, just to his right is another draft that was written in case Best Novel didn't go to Clockwork Girl.

Fortunately, that manuscript was useless.

Before Zhang Zhong's butt was hot, he stood up again and walked towards the stage.

The reason why "Wind-up Girl" won the award was also broadcast on the radio.

"A future that we seem to be able to touch is slowly unfolding in the world of "A Clockwork Girl"..."

Stepping on the dot, Zhang Zhong stepped onto the stage.

Taking the trophy from Linde, Zhang Zhong laughed softly, "When did you come up here?"

"Just when you're not paying attention." Linde smiled and patted Zhang Zhong on the shoulder, "I won't do it next time they ask me to present an award."

"Will you come up to receive the award?"

"Of course I would be happy."

After speaking briefly with Linde, Zhang Zhong walked to the microphone with the trophy in hand.

Zhang Zhong stood on the stage for too long tonight. Except for the script award, he didn't come up, he was on stage most of the time.

He received two awards for himself, and another award for Feng He.

Last year Zhang Zhong didn't have time to come to receive the award because he was signing a sale, but this year he made up time for showing his face.

"Good evening, everybody."

Having won two awards, if you don't say anything, it's really unreasonable, so Zhang Zhong is going to say a few more words.

"When a work is published for people to read and review, it will naturally receive a variety of opinions. "A Clockwork Girl" is no exception. Some people say it is biopunk, some say it is dystopia, and some say it is a dystopia. It’s not a science fiction novel at all, but a social novel in the cloak of science fiction. In fact, it doesn’t matter how you say it. A novel with hundreds of thousands of words contains a lot of elements, and everyone sees things differently. .As for categorizing a work, I personally think that is what scholars should do. Even authors don’t qualify their own novels, they must say that it is a certain type of novel. At the same time, I suggest that readers don’t do this either. It takes away the fun of reading..."

What Zhang Zhong said didn't seem to fit today's theme, but he also expressed his feelings.

"A Clockwork Girl" is the worst-selling novel among all his science fiction novels, and it is also the most controversial novel. Some extreme readers even think that this is not a science fiction novel at all, because the settings in it are not scientific at all.

In the past, Huaxia would always talk about soft science fiction and hard science fiction, but later some people simply classified certain works as science fiction.

And this trend seems to be starting to spread around the world.

This is not a good thing.

After talking about his emotions, Zhang Zhong sprinkled some chicken soup for everyone to taste. He changed the subject and said, "Creating a world is a joyful thing. Human beings are so small. If the mind is still affected by the body Constraints, that is a waste of our thinking brain. Here, I would like to quote a sentence: I can be trapped in a walnut shell, and still think that I am the king of no limit. When we are reading a book, When you indulge in imagining those strange worlds that only belong to you, you have already accepted a gift, a transmission of ideas, and it is even closely related to the cultural and artistic life on a larger scale and in a longer time and space..."

After sprinkling the chicken soup, Zhang Zhong bowed to pay tribute, and then walked off the stage amidst applause.

At this point, the Nebula Awards are almost over.

Lampard took the stage to give a closing speech, and the Nebula Awards ceremony was successfully concluded.

But Zhang Zhong and the others can't leave yet, there will be an interview with reporters in a while.

When walking the red carpet before, the reporters only took pictures, and the interviews were left after the awards ceremony.

Zhang Zhonglinde said a word, and then took Fenghe to the interview area.

A total of four awards were given out this year, and two of them were won by Zhang Zhong alone, so there were only three people in the interview area.

But this is already better than last year, because last year except for the screenplay award, the other three awards were won by Zhang Zhong alone, and Zhang Zhong did not come to the scene last year, and Chen Qing helped finish the acceptance speech and did not go to the reporter interview.

In the interview session last year, only the script award winner stood alone in the interview area.

Marco, the winner of the script award, stood aside tactfully, knowing who is the protagonist today.

Of course, the reporters also paid more attention to Zhang Zhong and Feng He.

"Pz, first of all congratulations on winning the short story award and the novel award tonight, can I ask if there are any plans for science fiction this year?"

Zhang Zhong shook his head, "Not yet."

"In the past two years, your science fiction works have become less and less. Does this mean that you will gradually transform in the future? You will not even write science fiction novels anymore?"

"No, I don't have the idea of ​​transformation. Just like I said on stage before, don't define the work or the author. What you want to write sometimes depends on fate." Zhang Zhong replied.

"Is it possible for "A Clockwork Girl" to be made into a movie?"

"Of course, any novel may be made into a film and television work, and "A Clockwork Girl" is no exception."
