The strongest reaction was from the journalists who were invited into the auditorium.
Some reporters who are well-informed have already heard some news related to road construction this morning, but the news is ambiguous. It only says that "The Martian" will be filmed in China, and it seems that a road will be built for the filming location.
As for where the scene was shot and the scale of the road built, they had no idea.
Before Yang Xiao announced the news, these reporters all speculated that the road to be built might be a small road of a few kilometers, and they did not dare to think too big.
It’s not that they look down on the Deep Space Company, it’s just that it’s a bit difficult for them to associate road construction with a movie.
Originally, the reporters focused on the award ceremony, but now Yang Xiao has announced the deep space road construction, which has disrupted their plans and mentality. Many reporters are now thinking about what to do next.
Ask Jimmy and Yu Dong about road construction.
…
Liu Cixin, who was sitting next to Yu Dong, applauded and asked Yu Dong sideways: "Why did it suddenly increase so much? More than 300 kilometers, this is not a small project."
"Follow the policy." Yu Dong smiled and didn't explain much.
Liu Cixin asked more questions and nodded: "Well, only by following the policy can you eat the food of the policy."
Yu Dong nodded and was about to say something when a staff member from "Science Fiction World" came to him.
"Teacher Yu Dong, the next prize is for the best short story."
"okay, I get it."
After that, Yu Dong stood up. He turned to Liu Cixin and said, "See you later."
Then I followed the staff to the edge of the stage.
After the award for Best Science Fiction Comic was awarded, it was the turn of the Award for Best Short Story.
Yu Dong came over early, of course not to accept the award. He didn’t write science fiction last year, so he doesn’t have a share in this year’s Galaxy Award.
This time he came up to present an award.
After getting the card with the winning results written on it, Yu Dong glanced at it secretly and then laughed.
In fact, he knew the result before, otherwise he would not have said "see you soon" to Liu Cixin. Even the award speech for the Best Short Story Award was handwritten by Yu Dong himself.
When Yu Dong stood on the stage, everyone hoped that he could say a few words, preferably about the road construction in "The Martian", but Yu Dong was destined to disappoint them.
He just walked slowly behind the microphone, without any foreshadowing, and said directly: "The winner of this year's Galaxy Award for Best Short Story is - Whale Song. Congratulations to Liu Cixin!"
As he finished speaking, the award speech sounded on the radio.
"The whale song is ringing. This is the soul of the sea singing. In the evolution and development of the entire universe, the history of human civilization has become small enough, and a certain human being in it is even more like a drop in the ocean. In the eyes of greedy humans,
You can't see any of this, all you can see is endless killing, grabbing, and fighting..."
Liu Cixin stepped on the stage excitedly following every word that came out on the radio, and then hugged Yu Dong who was about to shake hands with him.
After hugging him tightly, Liu Cixin slapped Yu Dong hard on the back twice.
"Thank you, thank you."
Liu Cixin took the trophy from Yu Dong, thanked him twice, and then ran to say his acceptance speech.
Although he has won many Galaxy Awards, Liu Cixin's acceptance speech was still quite long and not as perfunctory as Yu Dong's.
He talked about how he fell in love with science fiction novels and how he embarked on the path of writing science fiction novels. He thanked him in a circle, and finally thanked Yu Dong.
Because in Liu Cixin's view, Yu Dong can be regarded as his Bole.
At that time, "Supernova Era" was changed again and again, and he lost confidence in it. It was Yu Dong who made the final decision and asked Deep Space Company to sign him.
There is also "Bring Her Eyes" that made him famous, which Yu Dong discussed with him that year.
In fact, Liu Cixin was not the first to talk about Yu Dong tonight.
Before him, almost all winners would mention Yu Dong.
This is understandable, because whether at home or abroad, when talking about the development of science fiction novels in recent years, the name Yu Dong cannot be avoided.
"The Second World", "Deep Space", "The Last City", etc., one after another popular science fiction novels have built a towering building, standing in the science fiction world.
Whether you are a reader or a writer, as long as you are inside, you can see this building as soon as you raise your eyes.
After Liu Cixin finished his acceptance speech, he walked off the stage. Yu Dong walked behind the microphone with a smile and said: "Liu forgot to mention something just now. The film adaptation of "Whale Song" is already being planned.
You don't have to wait too long, you can see "Whale Song" in the cinema, just like "Bring Her Eyes"."
As soon as Yu Dong said these words, the first thing that sounded from the audience was the sound of a shutter, followed by applause and discussion.
Following the road construction by the Deep Space Company, there is another big news.
Maybe for Deep Space Company, the film and television adaptation of "Whale Song" is just one of the company's many plans, but for the science fiction community and the reporters who came to the scene, this is big news.
Yu Dong knew that they were paying more attention to this, so he said a few more words.
"The film "Whale Song", like "Bring Her Eyes", is produced by a Hollywood team and then released abroad. Of course, you can rest assured that we will definitely strive to have this film released in China.
Let everyone see it in the cinema. In addition to "Whale Song", there is also another novel "Falling to Mars" published in "Science Fiction World" that is also being adapted for film and television."
The entire auditorium fell into a strange atmosphere. Everyone was applauding, but it was not enthusiastic. This lack of enthusiasm was not because everyone was in a low mood, but because they were still in a state of surprise.
Yang Xiao was sitting in the front row, turned around and looked at the expressions of the guests in the back row, with a smile on her lips.
She had also heard that "Falling From Mars" was going to be adapted, but she didn't know much about the specifics.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! When "Bring Her Eyes" was about to be filmed, Yang Xiao predicted that there would be a wave of craze from now on. Now it seems that her prediction was right.
After "Her Eyes" became a hit at the box office, more Hollywood directors turned their attention to other Chinese science fiction authors besides Yu Dong.
If "Whale Song" and "Falling to Mars" can also be successful, it is conceivable that Chinese science fiction novels will be adapted in the future.
…
Yu Dong said a few more words on the stage and then walked off the stage directly.
After the Best Short Story Award, there is the Best Novel Award.
This year's competition for the best novel was fierce. Although neither Yu Dong nor Liu Cixin wrote a novel, young science fiction writers such as He Hongwei and Yang Peng all had a novel published, but in the end it was the evergreen Wang Jingkang who broke out with a novel.
"Song of Life" won this year's Best Novel Award.
After the best feature was awarded, Yang Xiao came on stage to give her closing speech, and this year's Galaxy Awards ceremony came to a successful conclusion.
But now, the work of the media reporters has officially begun.
Dozens of media companies crowded at the entrance of the passage, "waiting in anticipation". As long as guests walked by, they would be picked over for interviews.
In addition to Liu Cixin and Wang Jingkang who won the grand prize, Yu Dong, Jimmy and Harold were also the focus of reporters' attention.
Yu Dong knew what issues the reporters were paying attention to, so he dealt with them for a few words and then ran away when he had time, leaving Jimmy behind to deal with the reporters.
…
There is also a text live broadcast of the Galaxy Awards Ceremony, but it is not as grand as the live broadcast of the Deep Space Annual Conference, and there is also a delay. Generally speaking, it takes half an hour to edit the words spoken by the guests at the scene, and then submit them to the Deep Space website.
.
So when Yu Dong came out of the auditorium, what Yang Xiao said before was posted to the live broadcast post.
[Princess Yuezhi: Am I dreaming? "The Martian" is definitely going to be filmed in China, and a road needs to be built in deep space? 】
[Master Ronald: You are not dreaming, and this road is not short, it is more than three hundred kilometers.]
[Innocent shepherd boy: More than three hundred kilometers, more than six hundred miles. I have never been to such a far place since I was a child. 】
[Niu Niu: More than 300 kilometers, many places are outside the province. 】
[Liu Jinfa: There are still some places where I have already gone abroad. 】
[Little Flying Cat 001: Some countries may not have places so far away.]
[Crazy Werewolf: Although I am not a fan of science fiction, but this is the way to go, I want to watch this movie. 】
【Rakugo Returns: Don’t worry, you won’t be disappointed.】
…
[Quick Guest: What? "Whale Song" is going to be made into a movie? I'm complete. 】
[Qiangu Little Book Boy: "Falling on Mars" is also going to be filmed, which is a great bonus for science fiction fans.]
[Eternal Soul: When will "Deep Space" and "The Last City" be made into movies? I've been waiting for them. 】
[Qingfeng Fuzuiyue: I am waiting for "Prison No. 7". I have long said that I will film it. I have been waiting for a long time. 】
[Going in April: Deep space must be arranged.]
…
After the Galaxy Awards ceremony, Yu Dong and Cheng Yanqiu were not in a hurry to leave. They just took this opportunity to take a stroll in Chengdu.
The reason why they are together is closely related to the fact that Cheng Yanqiu came to Cheng Yan to watch the Galaxy Awards. It is not an exaggeration to say that Cheng Yan is the place where the two of them fell in love, so this city has special meaning to the two of them.
While Yu Dong and Cheng Yanqiu were wandering around reminiscing about the past, there was a man far away on Treasure Island staring at the empty water bottle in his hand with a depressed expression.
…
Jay Chou and Liu Genghong had just finished playing basketball and were resting on the sidelines. Liu Genghong probably felt that the intensity today was not enough, so he did a few more push-ups.
After finishing the push-ups, Liu Genghong ran to Jay Chou and saw him staring blankly at the empty water bottle, so he spoke with concern, "You are not in a good mood today."
Jay Chou shook his head: "No."
"You said no, you took the initiative to pass the ball when we were playing basketball just now."
"..."
"You're not even in the mood to be cool anymore, and you still say you're not in a bad mood?"
"I was just wondering when we would sell a song."
"Didn't you say that the song you gave to the second sister was quite well-received?"
The second sister Liu Genghong is talking about is Jiang Hui, who is the most famous female singer in Baodao. Although she has not released a song for some time, her status in the Baodao music scene is not weak at all.
If Jay Chou's songs can be used by the second sister, then they might be able to turn around.
"I just said that, but it hasn't been finalized. Maybe it will be withdrawn in the end."
Liu Genghong looked at the unmotivated Jay Chou and could understand his mood. After all, they had given away many songs, but none of them had been sold so far.
The only good news is that since the company was acquired by Deep Space, Brother Xian has stopped scolding Jay Chou for writing bad songs. He has no reason to scold him anymore. After the company was acquired, Brother Xian is no longer their boss, just like Liu Genghong. , is also a signed singer of the company.
But similarly, Brother Xian will basically not come to Alpha Company now, and they rarely see each other. This is another bad news for Jay Chou.
Although the situation was bad in the past, I could always see Brother Xian, so there was still a chance. But now it's better, I feel like they are like unattended children.
Wen Lan terminated his contract with the company because he felt that he would not be taken seriously by the company.
She terminated the contract and there were people who wanted her, but Jay Chou had no place to go after he terminated the contract.
Liu Genghong patted Jay Chou on the shoulder: "Cheer up, didn't you send a song to the head office a few days ago? It was said to be an episode of a TV series, maybe it will be used."
"I hope so."
Liu Genghong nodded and was about to do a few more push-ups when the cell phone in his bag rang.
He was doing relatively well in the company, so he was financially well-off and bought a mobile phone early.
"Hey, hello...oh, Assistant Chen...here you are, we are playing basketball...right now? Oh, okay."
Liu Genghong answered the phone and chatted for a few words, then turned to look at Jay Chou: "Mr. Zhou's assistant Chen Zhaoyun called and asked you to come back to the company."
Jay Chou looked at Liu Genghong blankly: "What does he want from me?"
Liu Genghong shook his head: "I don't know about that. He just said that you should go back now. Let's go. It's useless to think about it any more. We'll find out when we go back. I'll accompany you."
…
When Jay Chou and Liu Genghong returned to the company, Chen Zhaoyun was already there.
As soon as he saw Jay Chou, Chen Zhaoyun grabbed him and said, "Follow me to the recording studio."
Jay Chou was dragged by Chen Zhaoyun like this. He wanted to ask him why he wanted to drag him to the recording studio, but he was too embarrassed to ask.
After arriving at the recording studio, Chen Zhaoyun said: "There is no one else today, you have to do everything by yourself."
Jay Chou asked blankly: "What to do?"
"Recording songs, otherwise why would you come to the recording studio?" Chen Zhaoyun looked at Jay Chou with a smile, "You are lucky. The song "Rooftop" you submitted was picked up by the boss and the boss's wife, and they chose it as an episode of the TV series.
What's even more lucky is that the boss lets you sing. Of course, he just wants you to try it out. If you don't sing well, you won't be able to use it."
"Shall I sing?" Jay Chou looked at Chen Zhaoyun, feeling that he was joking with him.
Chen Zhaoyun smiled and said: "It's you, don't you usually sing by yourself? You hum it back and forth, but now you don't dare to sing it for you?"
After Alpha was acquired, Zhou Jianhui's assistant Chen Zhaoyun was assigned as the acting general manager of Alpha, so he knew Jay Chou quite well.
"No, it's not that I don't dare."
In fact, Jay Chou is really a little embarrassed, but it is impossible for him to admit that he "dare not".
"In that case, let's sing."
"This song is a duet. Can I sing it alone?"
"The female voice is Zhang Huimei, but she doesn't have time to record with you. You simply record the arrangement and the male voice first. She will find time to record the female voice part by herself. You can take care of the arrangement part. You are doing it now
It's not the final version." After Chen Zhaoyun explained, he looked at Jay Chou again: "Can you do it? If not, I'll tell the boss and his wife."
Yu Dong wanted Zhang Huimei and Jay Chou to record a version, so Zhou Jianhui and the others contacted him.
Due to the reputation of Shen Kong, Zhang Huimei agreed to give it a try. However, her schedule was very full and she did not have time to record songs with a music assistant who was not even a singer, let alone the songs recorded this time.
Can be used.
So this time Zhou Jianhui arranged for both parties to record separately.
Jay Chou glanced at Chen Zhaoyun who was staring at him, then looked around the recording studio, then took a deep breath and said, "Okay."
