What Mr. Kang said was also what Yu Dong thought.
Science fiction writers should not take themselves too seriously and think that they can be compared with scientists, nor should they take themselves too lightly and think that what they write is insignificant.
The more popular the work, the more attention should be paid to the social impact, because popular works face a larger audience and can easily affect the audience.
Kang Zhenhua smiled and nodded, turned around and slowly walked off the stage without saying anything.
Yu Dong held the trophy and certificate in one hand and the microphone in the other. He took a deep breath first, and then said with a smile: "I won't say any more words of thanks. I wish the Galaxy Awards will be better and better. China
Science fiction is also getting better and better. I am also working hard and hope to come again next year."
After just saying these two words, Yu Dong turned to look at Yang Xiao behind him, signaling that he was done.
Yang Xiao nodded and walked over with a smile, "Don't leave in a hurry. Let's read the closing speech together."
They said they were reading together, but in fact it was Yang Xiao who was reading and Yu Dong was watching from the side.
Yang Xiao prepared a lot for her closing speech. It was a long page, containing both thanks and prospects. Finally, she also set a flag, saying that next year’s Galaxy Awards must be more grand, so that the award ceremony is not only
There are only awards, it should be more like a ceremony.
After the closing remarks were finished, Yang Xiao and Yu Dong walked off the stage together amid a burst of applause. On the way, Yang Xiao said to Dong: "What I just said depends on your support."
Yu Dong smiled and said: "I definitely support it if I can, but Sister Xiao, you have to take a longer view. I think He Hongwei and the others are worthy of cultivation, and I believe that more and more young people will emerge in our country in the future."
Excellent science fiction writer."
"Aren't you a young person yourself?" Yang Xiao rolled his eyes at Yu Dong, and then said with a smile, "These three awards are not for nothing. From now on, you will be a leading figure in domestic science fiction. You must take the lead and contribute to
He Hongwei and others set an example."
"Sister Xiao, aren't you afraid that I will win three awards at once and then sleep on my merits?"
"This credit book is not thick enough for you. By the way, I will have to ask you about the new book later."
"good."
…
The award ceremony was over, but the process was not over yet, and several group photos were organized later.
After taking a group photo, Yu Dong and other award-winning writers walked to the interview area aside to be interviewed, while the others went to the restaurant first.
The reporters were very restrained and asked some routine questions, and everyone went to the restaurant to eat together.
The award-winning writers were divided into two tables, and the third-prize writers were led by Tan Kai at another table. At Yu Dong's table, in addition to him and the three second-prize winners, there were three foreigners, and another
Yang Xiao and Kang Zhenhua are also there.
Harold is from New York, and Kang Zhenhua studied abroad at New York University when he was young, where he also received a master's degree in aeronautical engineering, so the two had a very good conversation.
It was also through their chat that Yu Dong learned more about Kang Zhenhua.
In 1947, he sold his old house to use travel expenses to go to New York University. Two years later, after receiving his degree, he gave up his job opportunities abroad and returned to China.
He Hongwei has been telling his story next to Yu Dong. After listening to it, Yu Dong couldn't help but sigh, Mr. Kang is really a brick in the construction of the motherland, and he can be moved wherever it is needed.
At first, he focused on the research of aerodynamics. Later, the School of Engineering no longer had an aviation major, and the Chengdu Locomotive and Rolling Stock Factory needed technical guidance, so he had to turn to engineering fluid mechanics and began research on a combination of fluid mechanics and automatic control technology.
Work.
He has designed speed regulators for diesel locomotives, developed turbine speed sensors and flow control stepping full-jet nozzles.
Later, he switched to teaching and research in biomechanics and biomedical engineering.
Yu Dong couldn't understand a lot of what He Hongwei said, but Mr. Kang's experience was indeed admirable.
Because the meal started relatively late, Mr. Kang stood up and left half way through the meal. After all, he was old and couldn't do it too late.
After Mr. Kang left, Yang Xiao let go and started drinking with Harold and the others with the wine glass in hand.
"Mr. Remis, Mr. Martin, you are very welcome to China. On behalf of the magazine, I would like to toast you."
Harold and the others were also sincere. Yang Xiao came to toast with half a glass of wine, and they both finished the glass in one gulp.
The cups they drink from are not small, and there are two small cups in each cup.
Only Jimmy gave in and drank half a glass. He often lives in China and understands the Chinese culture and liquor. He doesn't dare to drink like Harold and the others.
Hu Changqing watched Harold and the others drink down a glass of wine in one gulp. Just when he was about to say that foreigners have a good drinking capacity, Harold was already getting drunk.
Harold didn't expect the wine to be so strong. After one sip, it felt like a fire dragon was scurrying around in his chest. He held it in for a long time, and finally he let out a breath and let the fire dragon escape.
Yang Xiao struck while the iron was hot and offered two more toasts.
When she saw Harold dizzy, she said with a smile: "Director Harold, in fact, there are many excellent science fiction novels in China, just waiting for a visionary director like you to discover them.
."
Harold nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, Chinese science fiction novels really exceeded my expectations, especially Yu Dong's novels. I believe we will have opportunities to cooperate in the future. Later, later, I will also invite
Yu Dong went to the United States to attend the premiere of the movie, and we will have more cooperation in the future."
Yang Xiao then said to George Martin: "George, your novel is of very high quality. If it can be translated into Chinese, it will definitely gain a large number of Chinese readers."
George was a little dizzy at first, but he became excited when he heard this. "I also have this idea. There should be more exchanges between our two countries' science fiction. Remis, you should pay more attention to China's science fiction."
"Yes, George, you are right, you must pay more attention." Harold said drunkenly.
Yu Dong listened to the conversation of several people and laughed secretly. This George Martin was really good at it. Yang Xiao just clicked on him and he understood the meaning and helped Yang Xiao coax Harold.
Of course Yu Dong knew what Yang Xiao was thinking. He finally invited an American director to come over, so he naturally had to make good use of it.
It's just that Harold is not Spielberg, and he doesn't have much involvement in the field of science fiction. In fact, "One Day" is not a typical science fiction movie.
After the dinner, Jimmy and George helped Harold go back, while Tan Kai and Yang Xiao went directly to Yu Dong's room. They came to ask for the manuscript of Yu Dong's new book.
The two of them stood in front of Yudong, one on the left and the other on the right, showing a "no killing after submission" style.
Chapter completed!
