Chapter 725 Awards Ceremony (Thanks to the Resurrected Leader 3/3)
Tian Fujun expressed cautious support for science fiction literature. It is not easy to say these words in his capacity. Shen Long felt that with his help, coupled with the award he just won and the work he had done before, Perhaps the unfortunate fate of Chinese science fiction can be saved.
The work and family that Xiaoxia originally envisioned, Tian Fujun just mentioned at the end, "Speaking of which, I am also from our Shuangshui Village. When I was young, I often followed Brother Yuhou. You did a good job, I feel relieved that Xiaoxia followed you."
This made Xiaoxia feel a little embarrassed, her face was flushed, but she was very happy in her heart. Tian Fujun had always had the final say in his family, and after passing this level, her and Shaoping's affairs became half .
"Xiaoxia's temper is a bit like a boy's. She likes to make troubles. Please be more considerate of any problems in the future; well, you still have to prepare to go to the United States, so I won't waste your time. After you go to the United States, you must show us The spirit of the Chinese people is high, don't be underestimated by those foreigners!" Tian Fujun finally encouraged.
"I won't send you off, I still want to read the book you gave me, Xiaoxia, go and send Shaoping off!" It was my turn to talk to him that night, and my daughter hadn't talked to him much yet. In other words, Tian Fujun considerately gave them this opportunity.
Walking outside the yard, Shen Long held Xiaoxia's hand, and said with a smile, "How about it, I've passed this level, right? Did I perform well?"
"Don't be so proud, you have passed my father's test, but not my mother's." Xiaoxia was a little bit unconvinced, and more complained that Shen Long didn't talk to her too much at night.
"Xiaoxia!" Shen Long suddenly turned around and looked at Tian Xiaoxia solemnly, "After a while, when our last agreement expires, the two of us will go together to the Duli tree on Pagoda Mountain in Huangyuan. Let's get married when we get back there!"
Xiaoxia was a little surprised when she heard this, then her eyes slowly filled with tears, and finally hugged Shen Long tightly, without saying anything, just hummed heavily, Shen Long also hugged Xiaoxia tightly, Two people kiss together...
After a long time, the two of them reluctantly parted, and after walking for a while, Shen Long watched Xiaoxia go back. When Xiaoxia's figure disappeared in the yard, Shen Long turned around and walked back slowly.
After walking for a while, he couldn't help shaking his head. There was no diamond, no real estate certificate, and no flowers. Under such circumstances, the proposal was successful. It seems that the 1980s were not all good?
In the next few days, the two of them started to get busy going abroad. For such a big event, the provincial newspaper naturally wanted to shoot a reporter to report it. Xiaoxia obtained the qualification without hesitation; the provincial newspaper completed it through its own channels. After going abroad, Shen Long's quota was vacant. After thinking about it, he gave this quota to Yang Xiao.
This is also a good opportunity for the Chinese science fiction community to contact the World Science Fiction Association. Shen Long believes that Yang Xiao can make good use of this opportunity, just like what she will do in the future.
Yang Xiao was overjoyed when she got the news, of course she knew what it means to participate in the World Science Fiction Convention; the formalities are not a problem, Shen Long has an invitation letter from the World Science Fiction Society here, and the embassy is willing to help, so it doesn't take much effort Finished the procedure.
Shen Long, Xiaoxia, Ken, and Yang Xiao took a flight to the United States together. After a long flight, the plane landed in San Francisco, and then transferred from San Francisco to the United States.
After arriving at the venue and signing in, American science fiction workers came over to say hello curiously when they heard about Shen Long's arrival. Shen Long chatted and laughed happily with them, and occasionally made a few witty remarks, which quickly won their favor.
Science fiction workers will naturally talk about science fiction when they get together. Shen Long is a person who has been bombarded by future Hollywood science fiction movies. He gave inspiration one after another. It was told to American sci-fi writers, and evolved, taking out the plot of "Jurassic Park".
Then came Cameron's "Terminator" series, and the relationship between robots and humans has been the focus of science fiction writers since Asimov.
There are also stories about the "Resident Evil" series, "The Matrix" series, "Avatar", "Ready Player One" and so on, which made these American science fiction workers fascinated.
At that moment, the editor-in-chief of the magazine asked him to write these stories completely, Shen Long said with a smile, "There are so many stories, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to write all of them as long ones, but I can consider a novel." A collection of short stories! Then choose a story or two and write it as a novel."
It would be a waste of time to copy them all. Shen Long plans to rewrite these stories into short stories, so that he can monopolize a large number of high-quality IPs in advance without much effort. In the future, the Cameron, Spielberg, and Wachowski brothers want to To make a movie, he had to buy the adaptation rights from himself first, and this money alone was enough for him to spend his entire life.
In order to compete for these works, several magazines offered high prices one after another. Shen Long's manuscript fee standard directly exceeded two dollars per word, and even some publishers were willing to pay the manuscript fee in advance, so Shen Long will not be short of money in a short time. .
He has not forgotten Ken, and is still willing to cooperate with him. This is not because Shen Long's English writing skills are not enough, but because he has been in China for a long time and cannot come to the United States often. In the United States, he must have someone who can protect his own interests.
Ken was very happy to hear that, and immediately said that he would quit his job at the embassy when he returned home, and would be responsible for translation and protecting Shen Long's interests in the United States. This job is much more interesting than working in the embassy.
This time it can be said that everyone is happy, Shen Long shared a small profit, but can get more benefits.
Yang Xiao was not idle either. She took this opportunity to establish a preliminary contact with the senior officials of the World Science Fiction Association, and invited representatives of the World Science Fiction Association and several heavyweight science fiction writers to visit China. The agency reached the intention of introducing excellent foreign science fiction.
With these, the future of Chinese science fiction will be more secure. Now that the country attaches great importance to foreign exchanges, these few will be received by high-level leaders when they arrive in China. It will not be so easy for someone to deal with science fiction in the future.
Ken took them to play in Los Angeles for a few days, and the awards ceremony officially began. After a brief process, the host announced, "The winner of this year's Hugo Award for Best Short Novella is Mr. Sun Shaoping from China. His award The work is "Happy Hunting"..."
