Chapter 815 Final Selection Announced
One week passes, and the main selection period for the Galaxy Short Story Award ends.
The judges of the Galaxy Awards also completed the scoring and voting for all the works during this period and came up with the final list of works that entered the award finalists.
Just before the seven-day deadline, the award group officials announced the time of the final list on their official account, which will be announced to everyone twelve hours later.
Although this is not a major award that can attract worldwide attention, it is still very popular in a small circle.
The trailer has just been released and it has already sparked a heated discussion.
This year's Galaxy Awards has become more interesting with the participation of Jiang Yuan.
[The final list will be announced, and we will know whether Omega has made it to the final list. ]
[It doesn’t really matter who wins the prize. The most important thing is that there are finally new works to read in the final selection.]
[I have some expectations, but I will make a lot of judgments before I see the work. ]
[I hope Omega can make the cut, otherwise the lineup won’t be much different from last year. ]
[After the finalists are announced, will the works be released online? 】
【It will be online one day later than the list. 】
Fans who have been closely following the Galaxy Short Story Award have been looking forward to the day when the final results will be announced.
It can be said that this is the most important moment every year besides the award ceremony.
As a result, Yang Chao in China was paying close attention to the final list.
Because of Jiang Yuan, Yang Chao recently took the time to read some of the winning works of the Galaxy Short Story Award in previous years while at work.
There are indeed many good classic works among them, but Yang Chao always believed that the one submitted by Jiang Yuan should not be inferior to these works.
With such expectations, people are naturally very concerned about the award dynamics.
Less than ten minutes after the official account was updated, Yang Chao had already forwarded the link to Jiang Yuan.
When Jiang Yuan received the message from Yang Chao, he gave a brief reply. Jiang Yuan also gave Yang Chao's family tickets for the concert that evening.
In addition to replying to messages related to the award, Yang Miaomiao also sent two messages expressing concern through Yang Chao's account.
It was Yang Chao's avatar that was used to send these messages, which made Jiang Yuan feel a little strange, and he couldn't help but smile knowingly.
Jiang Yuan cares less about the selection of the Galaxy Short Story Award than Yang Chao.
It’s not that I don’t care about it, but I’m busy with my schedule right now and really don’t have the time to take care of it.
Time quickly came to the next day, and Jiang Yuan once again devoted himself to the performance of Chapter 1.5 Day 2.
Before the concert began, Jiang Yuan also made a special appearance at his own personal exhibition, but did not stay for too long.
Despite this, it still brought a surprise to the fans in the event, and many fans who had just watched the concert last night came to the exhibition.
After noon, the list of winners of the Galaxy Short Story Award was officially announced.
Without waiting for Jiang Yuan to check it himself, Yang Chao immediately sent a screenshot of the list to Jiang Yuan and even kindly translated it into Chinese.
Before opening Yang Chao's chat box, Jiang Yuan had already determined that he would be the finalist.
After all, if he hadn't made it to the final selection, Yang Chao wouldn't have been so excited to send himself so many messages.
Yang Chao was indeed very excited. He almost squatted in front of the screen in advance, waiting for the announcement of the list.
At that moment, Yang Chao couldn't help feeling a sense of nervousness as if he was checking his college entrance examination scores.
Although I am very confident about the story of "The Last Question", everything is still unknown until the result is officially released.
As for the field of science fiction, in Yang Chao's opinion, it is a field that both he and Jiang Yuan are trying for the first time.
Being able to enter the final selection stage is already an extremely strong proof and can be called a historic moment.
Jiang Yuan took a look at the text that Yang Chao sent him. There wasn't much nutritious content, just basically all kinds of praise, with multiple exclamation marks to emphasize the praise.
Ignoring these messages for the time being, Jiang Yuan clicked on the final list and began to check it out.
As one of the most prestigious awards in the world for science fiction short stories, the competition for the Galaxy Award is fierce.
From the very beginning of the preliminary selection, there are at least hundreds or even thousands of works recommended by publishing houses participating.
From the preliminary selection stage to the final selection, there are still nearly a hundred works left.
But now that we have entered the final selection stage, there are only ten works left, which is enough to give you an idea of how intense the competition is.
This also ensures that the ten works that enter the final selection stage are basically excellent works, and the results of each session have proved this point.
It has also become a guide for the public to choose short stories to read, which is why everyone is looking forward to it so much.
Jiang Yuan stared at the list of ten works for a while. Among them, there were works with obvious themes such as robots.
There are also some story names that are rather obscure and difficult to understand, but they are very much in line with the temperament of science fiction novels.
Jiang Yuan quickly browsed through it and felt that judging from the name alone, "The Last Question" should be able to occupy a central position.
What is even more difficult to remember than the titles of the works are the names of the writers who have entered the final selection stage.
Every name seemed too long and difficult to pronounce. Jiang Yuan stared at the names for a long time but couldn't find any memorable names among them, so he silently skipped this part in his mind. He just felt that it was quite exciting to enter the final selection stage.
After saving the screenshot, Jiang Yuan also replied to Yang Chao's message, saying that he had already learned the result.
After receiving Jiang Yuan's reply, Yang Chao was obviously still in a very excited state. He took the opportunity to analyze several competitors on the shortlist for Jiang Yuan.
Apparently, Omega has been doing a lot of research since he participated in the Galaxy Awards.
"The competitors who made it to the final round this time are not too far off from the list that the public had predicted before."
"Apart from newcomers like you, there are five people who need your attention."
Jiang Yuan was originally watching Yang Chao's interpretation of the message he had sent him with great interest, but after hearing that there were five competitors he needed to pay attention to, he suddenly felt that there seemed to be no need to know too much.
The main reason is that there are only ten works in total nominated, which already accounts for half, and there is not much difference from all the Douya works.
But in order not to waste Yang Chao's careful preparation, Jiang Yuan did not send a message to interrupt him, and let Yang Chao continue to send messages. Next, Jiang Yuan watched Yang Chao list the resumes, representative works, etc. of these authors one by one.
Because I am not familiar with it, it is difficult to have too many concepts at once.
However, after a quick glance, although I still couldn't remember the names, I had a general impression that the competitors were all very strong.
Compared with these authors with richer resumes, Jiang Yuan seems like a newcomer who has made it into the finals.
Jiang Yuan didn’t have a clear feeling about this yet, but on the Internet, after people noticed the list, they started discussing it.
[No, Omega really advanced? 】
[Wow, Jiang Yuan is so awesome. The finalists can basically be said to have the potential to win awards.]
[Honestly, seeing Omega's name appear on the final list of the Galaxy Awards is already sci-fi enough. ]
[This year's main competition landscape is basically the same as last year, except that there is one more Jiang Yuan. ]
[If it were any other newcomer, they could basically be ignored, but it's hard to say about Jiang Yuan.]
[I have made an appointment to be the first to read Omega's work tomorrow. I am so curious. ]
[I have a feeling it will be a great work, maybe it will be a dark horse in this year's awards.]
-
On the Internet, Omega is still the most popular one in this shortlist.
At this point, it is obvious that no one thinks that Omega's work is not good anymore. After all, the review standards of the Galaxy Award are very strict.
It’s just that everyone thought that it was amazing that Omega could make it into the main selection since it was his first time participating.
Now that “The Last Question” has made it to the shortlist, all anyone can think about is how great this story will be.
Not only the general public who were paying attention to the Galaxy Awards, but also several writers who were listed as main competitors by Yang Chao, all became curious about the story of Omega at this time.
At first, everyone thought it was just an ordinary cross-border attempt, but then it suddenly came to the finals, and it was hard for everyone not to be confused.
We have to take it seriously, as there is a high probability that a dark horse will remain dark all the way.
Following the 1.5-chapter performance topic the day before, topics related to the Galaxy Awards also became a hot search trend worldwide.
This level of popularity is expected to continue until the work is officially launched at the same time the next day.
Before the work was officially launched, everyone actually had a popularity competition.
Although it does not involve the final selection results, the difference in popularity can be clearly seen by comparing the number of reservations for different works on the official website.
Compared with other newcomers, Jiang Yuan can be said to be far ahead.
Not to mention that Jiang Yuan's main job is a singer, just based on the topics the award has caused so far, this should be the result.
As the topic continued to heat up, Jiang Yuan also began to complete the 1.5 chapters of the concert in Shanghai on Day 2.
The performance time is the same as the opening time of Day 1. After a night's rest, Jiang Yuan has recovered.
The playlist design for Day 2 basically continued the arrangement of the first day, but a few songs were replaced for performance.
Overall it remains consistent. On the one hand, the time for rehearsal and preparation is not as sufficient as before.
On the other hand, it is to ensure that the difference between the two days of performances is not too great and to avoid fans from purchasing duplicate tickets.
The next day, Lu Qing continued to come to the scene as a guest performer and performed two new singles that he had just premiered the day before.
The Shanghai Station, just like yesterday, ushered in the curtain call.
The first stop of Chapter 1.5 was a complete success, which also marked a good start for the 1.5 tour.
On the same day, the recording of the variety show "Weekly Business Card" was officially completed.
After the concert, Jiang Yuanlian said goodbye to the program crew, including Li Xiaoyue, and others who attended the concert celebration party.
After the farewell after the last "Yuanyouhui", everyone was obviously much calmer when saying goodbye this time.
On the one hand, it is not as uncertain as before whether there will be opportunities for cooperation. On the other hand, "Weekly Business Card" has not yet officially started broadcasting, and there will still be more communication and contact in the subsequent broadcasts, mainly business relationships.
At the celebration banquet that day, Jiang Yuan left the scene without staying too long as usual.
On the way back in the nanny car, Jiang Yuan closed his eyes and listened to Zhang Qing's report on the itinerary for the next few days.
The tour schedule for the 1.5th tour is not much different from that of the first tour, and basically maintains the pace of two shows a week.
It takes time to set up the stage, but Jiang Yuan also needs to arrive at the performance city a few days in advance to prepare, including personal exhibitions that will land in the tour city at about the same time as Jiang Yuan.
At the same time, in addition to the performance schedule, Jiang Yuan also has some filming schedules to deal with.
The numerous endorsements are not in vain, besides that, she also has magazine photo shoots to arrange.
Listening to Zhang Qing's report, Jiang Yuan suddenly realized that the schedule for the next week had already been roughly arranged, and his eyelids suddenly felt heavier.
The weekend concert is over, and on Monday, fans have recharged and started going to school and work.
Jiang Yuan also left home early in the morning and went to the studio agreed in advance to shoot the commercial.
This type of work is relatively easy for Jiang Yuan, the main problem is that it takes a longer time.
The shooting started in the morning and had not ended until noon. According to the shooting plan learned from the on-site director, it was estimated that all shooting would not be completed until the afternoon.
While Jiang Yuan was busy shooting a commercial, he caused quite a stir on the Internet one morning.
For example, the "Weekly Business Card" which was rumored earlier also officially announced the broadcast platform and premiere time of the program on this day.
It was officially aired just after the recording was completed, which gave fans a pleasant surprise, especially the production of "Yuanyouhui" by the original team, which made fans feel that variety shows that are good for eating seem to be back again.
In addition to Jiang Yuan’s own variety show, The Princess, who was also recording a group variety show, also received good news.
After a period of time, The Princess' debut plan was proceeding step by step in an orderly manner. The group variety show was launched online on this day, which can be regarded as good news.
However, more people's attention is focused on noon, when the finalists of the latest Galaxy Short Story Award will be released simultaneously around the world.
Many people have been looking forward to this moment for a long time and entered the official interface as soon as possible.
