What is professional? This is called professional.

The two commentators were "quarreling", but they did not delay the progress of the commentary at all. Basically, they introduced everyone who came up from the red carpet.

In fact, except for Zhang Zhong and some other well-known science fiction writers, the audience is not interested in the red carpet.

Data shows that during the entire red carpet process, the most viewers were when Zhang Zhong and Feng He walked on the red carpet, while the number of viewers when Penny Austin walked on the red carpet was second only to Zhang Zhong and the others.

This proves that men definitely account for the majority of readers of science fiction novels.

Originally, Penny Austin's red carpet partner was Zhang Zhong, but later Zhang Zhong chose to follow Feng He. Penny Austin simply stopped looking for a partner and walked alone.

In fact, it's pretty good for her to walk on the red carpet alone, as she can do more poses.

…

Zhang Zhong glanced at Linde next to him and asked with a smile, "Where is that guy Daniel?"

Linde shook his head, "I don't know. I just heard him say he was in the third row. I searched around and couldn't find him."

Zhang Zhong and Linde's actions happened to be arranged together, but Llorente and Feng He did not have such good luck.

The organizing committee's seating arrangement is also quite realistic. Those sitting in the front row are all well-known people.

Both Zhang Zhong and Linde have huge fan circles around the world, so they sit in the second row.

Although Llorente won more awards than Linde, he had fewer fans, so he was placed in the third row.

Feng He sat further away, directly in the sixth row.

"Can't you find him with such a huge figure?" Zhang Zhong was about to turn his head to find Llorente's position, but found that the camera in front of him turned on a red light.

This meant that the live broadcast cut to their side, so he had to wave to the camera, and Linde next to him also waved.

"It can be seen that neither Zhang Zhong nor Lin De is under any psychological pressure." In the live broadcast room, the host Hu Gang said with a smile.

Huang Lei joked, "Of course there is no psychological pressure on the two of them. Zhang Zhong is basically certain to win, but Linde has no works shortlisted this year, so the result is no different for the two of them."

Li Qin laughed insincerely, "Fantasy works are still not very popular at the Nebula Awards, but for the Hugo Awards in a while, Zhang Zhong's "Harry Potter" will be shortlisted. Do you two like it?"

"It's hard to say, actually I haven't watched Harry Potter that much." Huang Lei answered truthfully.

Hu Gang said with a smile, "Actually, I think for Zhang Zhong today, the Nebula Award and the Hugo Award are no longer the main goals he pursues. After all, he is also the winner of the Goncourt Literature Prize."

The reason why the host said this is because they raised Zhang Zhong too high before, as if it was a certainty that Zhang Zhong would win.’

Although Hu Gang really believed from the bottom of his heart that Zhang Zhong's winning was a sure thing, as the host, he still had to have a backup plan, otherwise it would be a shame if Zhang Zhong didn't win.

Now that they have said this, even if Zhang Zhong unexpectedly fails to win the award later, the audience will not think anything of it.

Yes, Zhang Zhong is the winner of the Goncourt Literary Prize, and he is really not surprised by a Nebula Award.

Although it is said that there is no distinction between high and low literature, most people would not think that the Nebula Award can be compared with the Prix Goncourt.

Li Qin also followed Hu Gang's topic and said, "It's actually quite interesting. No one would have thought about the connection between the Goncourt Literary Prize and the Nebula Prize before. But now the situation is that a Goncourt Literary Prize

The winner of the award is sitting at the Nebula Award Ceremony, waiting for the results with other science fiction novelists. If Zhang Zhong wins the award this time, then it will directly create a new record, which will be on the stage where the Nebula Award is received.

For the first time there is a winner of the Prix Goncourt."

"On the other hand, in fact, Zhang Zhong has already set a record at the previous Goncourt Literary Prize, that is, for the first time, a winner of the Nebula Award and the Hugo Award stood on the podium of the Goncourt Literary Prize.

." Huang Lei took over the conversation with a smile.

"Haha, this kind of first time is too common for Zhang Zhong. Do you think it will happen in the future? There is a Hugo Award and Nebula Award winner standing on the Nobel Prize for Literature podium."

Li Qin touched his chin and said, "Speaking of this, I think there is one book missing from this year's Hugo Award and Nebula Award shortlists."

"Oh, which book?"

Huang Lei and Hu Gang showed puzzled expressions at the same time.

Not only the two of them, but also the audience in the live broadcast room were asking questions.

"It's Zhang Zhong's book." Li Qin was vague, but did not directly say which book.

The audience was even more confused. After much deliberation, they couldn't figure out which book it was, because Zhang Zhong didn't write any science fiction novels last year, and all the ones he wrote had already been shortlisted.

"It's "Lord of the Flies"." Li Qin announced the answer, "Don't you think "Lord of the Flies" is a science fiction novel?"

The host Hu Gang wanted to shake his head because he didn't think "Lord of the Flies", the winner of the Goncourt Literary Prize, was a science fiction novel at all.

Huang Lei had the same reaction.

If the book "Lord of the Flies" has to be considered science fiction, it would be that the story takes place in a world war in the future.

But this is also the only science fiction aspect.

If "Lord of the Flies" is classified as a science fiction novel just because of this, then the scope of science fiction novels is really too broad.

From now on, anything that mentions anything related to the future will be classified as science fiction.

The reason why Hu Gang and others do not think "Lord of the Flies" is a science fiction novel is because the future setting mentioned in it has no impact on the story itself.

If the story doesn't take place in a future world war, but a simple plane crash, that's totally fine.

However, Hu Gang and the others also knew that Li Qin did not mean to be serious when he raised this point, but just talked about this topic, so they mentioned it by the way.

Just imagine, if "Lord of the Flies" is really classified as a science fiction novel, then it can definitely be shortlisted for this year's Hugo Award and Nebula Award.

That would be fun.

The winning work of the Goncourt Literary Prize has appeared on the shortlist of the Nebula Award and the Hugo Award. Just thinking about it is exciting.

Going back to the Nobel Prize for Literature that Hu Gang mentioned before, it would be even more interesting if Zhang Zhong wins the Nobel Prize for Literature in the future and also wins the prize for "Lord of the Flies".

If this really happens, the Hugo Award and the Nebula Award will be lost: look at our award-winning works, we can also win the Nobel Prize, it must be high enough.

However, after saying this, many people have an idea.

The organizing committees of the Nebula Awards and the Hugo Awards made a mistake. If one of them had put "Lord of the Flies" on the list, wouldn't it have attracted the attention of the world at once?

The point is, if you really want to count, "Lord of the Flies" can really be classified as a science fiction novel.
