Chapter 525 Silver Age
Liu Cixin's acceptance speech was not long, and the time of this Galaxy Award did not allow him to speak too long.
After he finished speaking, he retreated to the back, which was equivalent to walking forward from the east.
Yu Dong smiled, took two steps forward, and held the microphone, "I am very happy today. This happiness is not just because I won this award, but also because Liu Cixin is also standing on this stage. In addition to him
In addition, there are more award-winning friends this year than last year, and the overall level of award-winning works is higher than in previous years. I am very happy to see that Chinese science fiction has made such great progress. I have always said that Chinese science fiction and even the world
The prosperity of science fiction should not rely solely on one or a few people. Think back to half a century ago, when British and American science fiction took the lead. Many outstanding science fiction writers were born during the same period, including Clark, Heinlein, Asimov and others.
Later Herbert and others were outstanding writers who formed that magnificent golden age of science fiction."
"Today, the situation faced by science fiction literature is very different from that in the 1950s and 1960s. With the development of the film industry, science fiction novels have become more connected with science fiction movies. Science fiction literature has encountered some obstacles, but there are also more
It opens up more possibilities. If the 1950s and 1960s were the golden age of science fiction, then from the 1990s to a certain year later, I think it can be defined as the silver age of science fiction. Everyone here will
He is a member of this generation."
After hearing Yu Dong's arrogance, no one on the stage or off the stage thought it was inappropriate.
It is true that because of the emergence of Yu Dong, readers' attention to science fiction literature has increased a lot around the world in recent years. And it is not only readers who pay attention to science fiction literature, but also countless filmmakers.
The more possibilities Yu Dongkou mentioned also refers to the novel being adapted into a movie.
"Today I am honored to be able to participate in the World Science Fiction Conference co-organized by the China Association for Science and Technology and "Science Fiction World", and to gather with so many science fiction professionals. Seeing the emerging forces in the science fiction world, I am full of excitement. I
I think that in such an era, with you here, we will definitely be able to push science fiction to another peak."
"thank you all."
After Yu Dong finished speaking, there was warm applause from the audience. Liu Cixin, who was standing behind Yu Dong, was also a little moved. Let’s not talk about Yu Dong’s achievements in science fiction. His support for Chinese science fiction is obvious to all, and this support is selfless.
of.
Liu Cixin finally understood why Yu Dong had to put himself in the forefront before. Perhaps this was Yu Dong's expectation for him, hoping that he and other backward science fiction writers could take up the backbone of science fiction and create a more prosperous science fiction.
era.
Such good intentions are truly admirable.
…
Later, the winners of the Galaxy Award and the Golden Bridge Award came on stage to take a group photo. Yang Xiao walked up to Yu Dong and asked him in a low voice: "Why did I listen to your speech today? It's a bit like Tuogu. How old are you, and you are thinking about science fiction?"
Has the banner been handed over to someone else? Have you heard some rumors?"
In fact, there are some rumors saying that Yu Dong monopolizes the science fiction market and does not allow others to survive.
Yu Dong smiled and said: "Sister Xiao, do you think I am the kind of person who takes rumors to heart?"
"You are indeed not, then why are you doing this?"
"It's nothing. Isn't it a good thing that more excellent science fiction writers are coming out? Don't get me wrong. I will definitely continue to write science fiction, but I'm afraid I won't be as dedicated."
"Okay, I understand." Yang Xiao sighed slightly and said nothing more.
She could understand what Yu Dong meant. Yu Dong's energy was now distracted by many things. In fact, starting from last year, Yu Dong's science fiction works suddenly decreased. For a whole year, he only published one at the end of the year.
"Moon".
Yu Dong's creative passion has not diminished, but he has focused more on other aspects.
Moreover, Yang Xiao has always felt that Yu Dong’s main battlefield is traditional literature.
Selfishly, Yang Xiao certainly hopes that Yu Dong can always focus on science fiction literature and continue to bring excellent science fiction works to readers. But her reason tells her that only traditional literature can bring Yu Dong to a higher position.
Seeing Yang Xiao's worried look, Yu Dong emphasized again: "Sister Xiao, don't think too much. I will never leave science fiction until the day I can no longer write."
Yang Xiao showed a bright smile: "I remember these words, and I will always remember them until the day I can't remember everything."
…
After the awards were given, the speaker went up to the stage to speak. Yu Dong went up to the stage and read his manuscript like everyone else. Perhaps because the manuscript was too official, many people felt that his previous acceptance speech was more interesting.
The activities for the next two days were all held in the Dome Cinema Hall of the China Science and Technology Museum, which was a meeting for science fiction fans.
There are no leaders present, so the atmosphere of the meeting is more relaxed. Everyone chats casually and looks forward to the future with science fiction fans.
American astronaut Ross mentioned Yu Dong's "The Martian". He said that mankind has taken gratifying steps in conquering space. After landing on the moon, the next goal of mankind is Mars. He also predicted,
This goal will definitely become a reality in the next ten years, and space flights and landings will be completed by extensive international cooperation. As a country with rapid economic and technological development, China will also be involved in this plan, and all of this
Just like what was written in "The Martian".
After speaking, Ross also specifically talked to Yu Dong. He didn't know where he got the news, saying that "The Martian" had been adapted by Spielberg and was in preparation for filming.
He also joked that if the movie was made, he would also like to play a role, and expressed his willingness to provide some technical guidance and share some of his own experiences with them.
Yu Dong didn't care whether he was joking or not and extended the invitation to him openly.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Ross is an old astronaut. He is nearly fifty years old today. He has been to space five times before. Moreover, he has not retired yet and will continue to accept missions in the future.
If Ross can really be invited to make a cameo, it will definitely be beneficial to the movie.
On the afternoon of the 31st, after everyone had dinner, we flew to Chengdu and started summer camp activities in Moon Bay.
…
Yu Dong and others stayed in Moon Bay for more than a day. At four o'clock in the afternoon on August 1, they rushed to Rongcheng TV station.
Because of Mo Yan's incident, I still owed a favor to Chengdu TV Station. Now that I'm here this time, I naturally have to pay back the favor.
The Chengdu TV Station arranged an interview for several of them. It didn't last long, just over an hour.
After the interview ended, Yu Dong took Mo Yan and others to the TV drama department.
He came here to meet a person, Maijia, the author of "Purple, Dark and Dark".
Shen Kong has signed a contract with Mai Jia. Some time ago, Yu Dong also heard Hu Hao tell him that Mai Jia had a job transfer and came to the TV drama department of Chengdu TV station to work as a TV screenwriter.
At that time, he thought it was quite a coincidence that Mo Yan had been transferred to this unit before.
When Yu Dong and others arrived at the TV drama department, they first alerted the department director Zhu Yonggang.
Zhu Yonggang was a little wary when he heard that Yu Dong wanted to find Mai Jia. After all, Yu Dong had poached Mo Yan from their department just before.
To say they were poached may not be appropriate, because Mo Yan has never worked a day in their department.
However, Mai Jia is in a similar situation to Mo Yan. He also came to work as a screenwriter and has been working for a while and performed very well.
If Yu Dong poaches Mai Jia away now, Zhu Yonggang will definitely feel pain.
"Teacher Yu, it's not easy for our TV station to recruit a talented person." Zhu Yonggang said with a bitter face. When he said this, he kept glancing at Mo Yan.
The implication is that you have already poached one, so be merciful and leave one for the TV station.
If someone else comes, Zhu Yonggang doesn't have to worry at all. Their TV station is also a first-class unit after all, and it's not easy to poach people from them.
But Yu Dong is different. He is a great writer himself, and the scale of the deep space company he owns is so large. Not many people can resist the olive branch he throws out.
Seeing his worried look, Yu Dong said with a smile: "Director Zhu, you don't have to be too nervous. I came here this time just to take a look at Mai Jia. I have no other intention."
Zhu Yonggang looked at Yu Dong, then at Mo Yan and the others, and finally nodded and said: "Okay, Teacher Yu Jinkou said, of course I have no reason not to believe it. Please wait a moment, and I will call Mai Jia over.
Chapter completed!
