Wang Shan was even more nervous than Su Shichen himself, tightly grasping Su Shichen's hand as if a drowning person grasped the last straw, squeezing it so hard that it hurt.
"Don't be nervous, look at others who are even more nervous" Su Shicen pointed to the other authors nominated for Best Newcomer. Wang Shan looked around and indeed these people were extremely nervous, especially after Kang Ying and Su Shicen, two super popular authors appeared. Kang Ying was okay, but Su Shicen was hailed as the most talented young author in China, which added even more pressure. These authors seemed to be sitting on pins and needles, constantly fidgeting.
Upon seeing this scene, Wang Shan felt much better, but Su Rui Chen paid special attention to Kang Ying. Kang Ying seemed to be completely without pressure, her facial expression as if the Best Newcomer Award was already in the bag.
Is this excessive self-confidence or is there something else going on?
"First of all, I'd like to announce that the winner of this year's Huaxia Reasoning Best Newcomer Award is Kang Ying, with her work 'Three Lives Stone'. Everyone, please welcome!!" As soon as the announcement was made, Kang Ying's fans cheered loudly, seemingly as happy as if it were Chinese New Year.
Su Release's fans found it hard to believe and expressed their discontent, "How is this possible? The Best Newcomer award should have gone to our Su Release."
"Has anyone seen 'The Three-Body Problem'? It's even better than Sherlock Holmes!"
"There is a black curtain, I also watched 'Three Lives Stone', whether it's sales or quality, there's no way to compare with 'Sherlock Holmes Collection', and the newcomer award was given to Kangying, this is absolutely a black curtain"
"Kangying is nothing special, just a bit more popular, but no matter how popular he is, it's still not as high as our Su Rixian's popularity."
……
Book fans are different from movie or music fans, rarely having extremely enthusiastic ones. If it were music fans, this situation would be a huge scandal, and the event would not be able to continue. However, since this is an award ceremony for reasoning, book fans at most just gossip and discuss among themselves.
Kang Ying confidently walked onto the stage, lifted up the trophy, and was met with another wave of applause. "I can get this Best Newcomer award, first of all thank you for your support, if there wasn't so many people's support I wouldn't have today's achievement, at the same time also thank the judges' wise eyes to give me this Best Newcomer award, in the future I will definitely work harder, write more brilliant reasoning and preparation, and also want to thank my mother, thank you for raising me with hardship over the years..." Same old discussion, after thanking his mother he thanked his father, after thanking his father he thanked the company and so on.
Kang Ying walked down from the stage and did not return to his own seat, but instead walked in front of Su Jie Chen under everyone's gaze.
Extend a hand, showing friendship, shaking hands. "I'm lucky to have won this time, I really apologize" The words are very pleasant to hear, but the tone of voice can't detect any hint of luck, it's clearly a boastful tone.
"It doesn't matter, this is your win." Su Xichen stood up, his two hands tightly clenched together.
"I'm looking forward to our next duel" As soon as he spoke, Kang Young returned to his own seat.
"How detestable!!" Wang Shan's face was as red as an apple, with an expression that made her want to tear Kang Ying into five pieces. "You've already won, yet you still come over here to show off, as if anyone didn't know, and what's wrong with you, Su Tiancai? Are you out of your mind being so polite to him? And shaking hands with him?! Ugh!!"
Su Shuai shook his head and didn't speak.
Kang Ying just walked up to him in front of everyone and said those words with an absolutely boastful tone, how could Su Xuan Chen not see that? But according to Su Xuan Chen's thinking, the reason Kang Ying did this was because he had stolen the show at the previous awards ceremony, Kang Ying wasn't satisfied and wanted to steal the spotlight back, otherwise why would seven or eight nominees for Best Newcomer all come to him?
Having already lost in terms of achievement, one cannot afford to lose again in other aspects. Just like how Kangying just now came over under everyone's watchful eyes and even proactively extended his hand in friendship. If he really didn't care as Wang Shan said, then in terms of politeness and momentum, he would be at an even greater disadvantage, a defeat that would be like a flood.
This is where Kang Young's brilliance lies, thinking about it, Kang Young is also a first-rate model, and when it comes to socializing, she's quite skilled at it. How could she possibly show off like a 2B-style? This kind of completely flawless showing-off method is the normal way.
"I said Su Tiancai, if there wasn't any foul play in this award ceremony, then the problem lies with the judges they invited for this event. They have a problem with their taste, giving the newcomer award to that pretty boy." Wang Shan still couldn't get over it.
It's not just Wang Shan who is resentful, Su Shichen is also resentful. In a previous interview, he said that he has the ability to compete for the Best Newcomer award and has the strength to do so. This statement is absolutely humble, in fact, Su Shichen had already prepared to say that the Best Newcomer award was already in his pocket.
"Three Lives Three Worlds, The Pillow Book" vs "Sherlock Holmes", in terms of sales, "Sherlock Holmes" is more than twice as much as "Three Lives Three Worlds, The Pillow Book". In terms of popularity, "Sherlock Holmes" was once recommended by hundreds of celebrities and triggered a "Sherlock" craze. In terms of plot, "Sherlock Holmes" is considered the "Bible" of detective stories due to its brilliant storyline. Despite being inferior in all aspects, Su Yuechen still lost, who can understand this?
The awards ceremony is still in full swing, and the next award to be presented is the Best Reasoning Short Story Award. In fact, Su Xilai was shortlisted for four of the five awards of the Huayi Awards, with the exception of the Best Sales Volume Award, which is purely a numerical comparison. The other four awards, namely Best Newcomer, Best Short Story, Best Long Story, and Best Work, have all been shortlisted.
If we divide the five awards of the Hugo Award into three levels according to their gold content, the lowest is naturally the Best Newcomer and Best Sales, the middle is the Best Short Story and Best Long Story, and the highest is the Best Work.
Why is the best-selling book at the bottom? In fact, the reason is very classic. This kind of pure numerical link is easy to fake. For example, a rich second-generation writer wrote a book with poor reasoning quality, but he can buy 1 or 2 million copies himself, and then those rich second-generation friends each buy 1 million copies, it's easy to break through 10 million copies.
Even if they have to pay a large amount of income tax and lose money, the rich second generation doesn't care about money. Although in the end these books may just be sold for a few cents per pound as waste paper or piled up in warehouses, this is still real sales volume.
Don't think it's impossible, in the history of the 7th Huabiao Award, there were two sessions where books written by rich second-generation kids won the best-selling award, which is also the reason why the value of the Best Sales Award has plummeted.
It was another veteran detective who announced, but the best short story award was taken away by another work. Su Xichen's mouth corner hung a wry smile, it seemed that he came to play a supporting role today, nominated for four awards, but didn't win any of them, and tomorrow's headlines would be reported in what way.
"The winner of the Best Novel award is..." The presenter, with a mysterious smile, opened the envelope and glanced at the name on the paper. "Oh! This winner is really surprising me, I've been a presenter five times and it's my first time encountering this situation."
Obviously, the award presenter, in a pretentious but successful attempt to attract everyone's attention, caused fans of each author outside the venue to crane their necks, with the nominated authors being even more so, their faces red and their necks thick, their eyes wide with excitement, as if they might have a heart attack at any moment.
"This winner is very young, although the Huabiao Award has only had eight sessions so far, but I think he is absolutely one of a kind, not to say unprecedented, at least unmatched in history."
Su Zhe's expression changed and he sat up straight, his intuition telling him that the trophy was beckoning to him.
"This author is also extremely versatile, not only being called the most talented in Chinese-speaking world, but also being referred to as the youngest screenwriter and the youngest deputy director in the world!"
Su Shilei's morning heart has been mentioned to the throat, Huaxia's most talented, youngest screenwriter, and youngest deputy director. This can only be him.
"In 2013, the eighth Huaxia Reasoning Award for Best Long-form Reasoning was awarded to 'Four Signatures'. Please evaluate this book, esteemed judges."
A top author in the reasoning circle picked up the microphone and commented: "Actually, when we determined the best long-term reasoning, our jury had a significant difference of opinion. The two works that caused the disagreement were 'Blood Letter Study' and 'Four Signatures'. Although it's not the first time that two works by the same author have been shortlisted at the same time, both 'Blood Letter Study' and 'Four Signatures' are extremely wonderful."
"In the end, we didn't even know how long we had been discussing before finally confirming that "Four Signatures" won Best Long Story. I hope this author will not give us such a difficult problem to evaluate next time, it's really painful. Of course, for mystery fans, this difficulty is probably a blessing in disguise, because once this difficulty appears, it means that two extremely classic mystery novels have emerged." The judge's teasing immediately eased the tense atmosphere on site.
"The Sign of Four" is the first long story in "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes", generally speaking, it's hard to control when transitioning from short stories to long ones, but surprisingly, "The Sign of Four" appears very mature, expanding the entire stage to the world, with two special abilities of the criminals, making this story more like an adventure and thriller, which is a very bold and innovative writing style, yet the author uses it in a magical way, leaving readers in awe!
"It can be seen from this work that the author wants to build the Holmes series into the pinnacle of detectives, and the author is also acting in this way. Based on the method of deduction and clue chain, some other detective tools such as police dogs are added, and makeup and shooting skills are also added for the protagonist, all of which have laid the groundwork for subsequent plots."
The judge was lavish in his praise of "The Sign of Four", his tone of admiration unmistakable. "In short, 'The Sign of Four' is an excellent detective novel that fans of the genre should not miss!"
After the evaluation, the judge shouted loudly: "Welcome our 15-year-old genius writer Su Shichen."
Su Xuan took a deep breath in the morning and stepped onto the stage with slow and steady steps.
With head held high and taking big strides...
Received the trophy from the award presenter and held it high.
At this moment, fans cheered enthusiastically, and at this moment, Su Shichen seemed to have become the only light! "Please let Su Shichen say a few words of gratitude."
Su Shi took the microphone handed over by the host "As usual, I should thank this and that, anyway, I have to thank many people. I believe you are all tired of hearing such routine award-winning speeches, so today I will say something different"
"Setbacks are things that must be experienced in life, but I want to thank setbacks for making me grow and bid farewell to naivety. Similarly, I also thank failures for letting me rise again and again from falls; thanks to those who dislike me, because you let me understand that not everyone is a people-pleaser, and not everyone will like you, as long as you don't disappoint those who do."
The spotlight on the stage shone brightly on Su Rui Chen's body, at this moment Su Rui Chen was a superstar!
Su Shi's unusual award speech, the lively awards ceremony became silent, only to hear Su Shi's voice! (Please search 5du5 for more updates!)
