Chapter 727 Domestic Repercussions
After the award ceremony, Shen Long did not continue to stay in the United States, but returned directly to China, and Ken followed them, but this time he did not return to the embassy to continue working, but to go through the resignation procedures. He had already communicated with Shen Long After signing the translation and agent contract, he will run between China and the United States in the future, busy protecting Shen Long's interests.
From the comments of those magazines, publishing house bosses, and some people in the film industry, Ken has already realized the value of the stories that Shen Long presented before. As long as he can hold this thigh, he will not have to worry about money for the rest of his life. up.
After a long flight with a turning point in the middle, the exhausted Xiaoxia and Shen Long finally returned to China and landed on the runway of Beijing Airport. Walking up to Shen Long, ask him to get off the plane first.
Xiaoxia was still a little puzzled, but when she walked out of the cabin door behind Shen Long, she immediately understood, and saw a row of students standing on the runway, holding flowers in both hands and shouting slogans, "Welcome, welcome, warmly welcome... ..."
Behind these students, there was someone holding up a banner that said, "Warmly welcome Chinese writer Mr. Sun Shaoping to return home after being awarded the Hugo Award, the world's highest award for science fiction literature!"
Shen Long waved with a smile on his face, and quickened his pace of getting off the plane. As soon as he stepped on the runway, the official representatives who came to greet him came over, and they all stepped forward to shake hands with Shen Long and introduce themselves. , the Federation of Literary and Art Circles, the Writers Association, and of course the foreign affairs department.
"Comrade Shen Long, you have won glory for us this time!" Each of them took Shen Long's hand and shook it vigorously, saying words of congratulations and praise.
In fact, this award alone may not have caused such a big commotion, but who made Shen Long's speech well written? It just fits the current political needs. It is neither humble nor overbearing, calmly and gently conveying the country's desire to deepen ties with the world. His attitude has won the appreciation of several important people.
The report manuscript written by Xiaoxia was also reprinted in full by several authoritative media, and even Xiaoxia became famous in the media circle with her. No, someone has already gone to say hello to Xiaoxia.
Yang Xiao and Ken were not left out. The staff of the foreign affairs department expressed their gratitude to Ken for his outstanding contribution to the cultural exchange between China and the United States. old friend.
As for Yang Xiao, she is now being praised by the leaders of the Association for Science and Technology and the Federation of Literary and Art Circles. They came to China for a visit, although they did not come together, but the application for the visit and exchange has been sent to the relevant departments.
This is also a solid achievement for them,
They said on the spot that the establishment of the Galaxy Award in China must be done, and it must be done quickly. Now, the establishment of the domestic science fiction association and the Galaxy Award judging committee has moved to the last hurdle, and the next step will definitely be smooth. If it is fast, the first Galaxy Awards may be awarded next year.
Shen Long originally wanted to go back to Huangyuan directly, but now he saw that he could go in a short period of time. In the next period of time, he continued to attend various activities and meet some leaders.
Although Shen Long doesn't like it very much, he also knows that these are very necessary things. This is a good opportunity to promote the development of Chinese science fiction literature. Every time he attends an event, he talks about the importance of science fiction literature. Also describe to them in easy-to-understand language the impetus that science fiction literature can bring to the field of culture and economy.
In this way, under the promotion of Shen Long, the negative news about science fiction literature in the media gradually decreased, and some big figures who used to sneer at science fiction literature also stopped talking.
With the increasing number of reports about Shen Long's awards, the subscriptions to domestic science fiction magazines also continued to increase, and more and more manuscripts were submitted to these magazines. Some of them were of excellent quality, but most of them were not only of average quality It also failed to grasp the essence of science fiction literature, which is a common problem in the early days of science fiction literature.
So Shen Long discussed with Yang Xiao and started to walk on two legs. On the one hand, he began to serialize articles on "Science Fiction Literature and Art", telling how to create science fiction literature, and what principles should be followed when writing science fiction literature. Science fiction is not Random thoughts, there is a scientific word in front of the magic word, fantasies must have a scientific basis.
On the other hand, he began to give lectures in major colleges and universities. Nowadays, most of those who have mastered a certain scientific literacy and desire to create literature are college students. Being able to instill correct ideas in them will solve more than half of this problem.
In the world of "In the Name of the People", Shen Long has long developed his speech ability, and in the world of "Blood Romance", Shen Long also gave speeches to college students. Now he is on stage again, and he is unambiguous at all. The language conveys the core elements of science fiction literature creation to college students one by one.
This novel speech style quickly won the favor of college students, and colleges and universities continued to invite Shen Long to give speeches. After Shen Long returned to China, he traveled a lot in China before he had time to return to the provincial capital.
When he arrived in the provincial capital, there was naturally another celebration. The Provincial Association for Science and Technology, the Federation of Literary and Art Circles, and the Writers Association also organized many activities. Famous universities such as Jiaotong University where Wang Jinkang works and North China University of Technology where Lan Xiang works invited him to give speeches.
This took Shen Long a lot of time. When the speech at North China University of Technology was over, Shen Long said that he was unwilling to participate in this kind of activity. Come out, "This is my job! During this period of time, I have been busy every day, and I have no time to write. I originally planned to publish the first book next year!"
The leader immediately stopped talking. They also had great expectations for this book. Shen Long also took the opportunity to propose that he should go home and have a look, so that he could finish the book as soon as possible.
Then Shen Long took the TV he bought for his family and the books he bought for Shao'an, got on Jin Bo's truck, and returned to Huangyuan.
It happened that Xiaoxia was also interviewing in Huangyuan at this time, and the two discussed it after meeting. This time Xiaoxia and Shen Long went back to Shuangshui Village. Shen Long had already met Tian Fujun, so it was time for Xiaoxia to meet the old man Yuhou up.
The two of them had dinner and were walking on the street. When they passed the movie theater, Xiaoxia pointed to the wooden board at the door and said in surprise, "Oh, "Yellow Earth" has already been released?"
