Chapter 957 Award-winning Promotion
Amid the thrilling soundtrack, close-up shots of six candidates, including Jiang Yuan, appeared on the big screen at the same time.
Everyone's expressions were different, and it was obvious that some were more eager for the awards.
As for the candidates who received multiple nominations that night or who already had awards in hand, they seemed noticeably calmer.
Although Jiang Yuan also wanted to win this award, he had great confidence in his work "The Last Question", so he was not too nervous.
The award presenter paused for a moment and announced the final result.
"The winner of the Monton Award for Best Short Story of the Year is 'The Last Question'. Congratulations, Omega. Please invite Omega to the stage to receive the award!"
The award presenter called out the name loudly, and at this time the only close-up of Jiang Yuan was left on the big screen.
This scene looks exactly the same as the previous Galaxy Awards.
Some novelists who participated in both awards also had a vision of the previous Galaxy Awards at some point in time, but they were not too surprised by the result.
Jiang Yuan was previously predicted to be the favorite to win the award. Although he was only nominated for a short story category, he almost became the protagonist of the Menton Award ceremony.
Everyone was quite convinced by the article "The Last Question" and there was applause at the scene, congratulating Jiang Yuan for winning the award.
Standing up amid warm applause, Jiang Yuan's mouth corners unconsciously raised slightly.
Then he lightly bumped shoulders with Yang Chao, who couldn't control his emotions and stood up, to celebrate, and began to walk towards the podium.
Along the way, some novelists who had greeted him before also sent their blessings to Jiang Yuan, and Jiang Yuan also responded along the way.
As for the other unsuccessful candidates, not many people are paying attention to them at this time. It is a very realistic world of fame and fortune.
Jiang Yuan walked up to the podium and the camera followed him all the way.
For the audience watching the live broadcast, this long journey was like watching Jiang Yuan walking on a catwalk.
Fans also congratulated Omega on his award in the live broadcast comments.
【congratulations! 】
[It has to be Omega after all! 】
[This should be the second award for "The Last Question", it's really great. ]
[Congratulations to Omega for having won two science fiction novels in two nominations. I have a feeling there will be more in the future! ]
[Look forward to Omega's latest novel that combines suspense and science fiction elements. 】

Most of the fans were expressing their feelings or congratulations like "Awesome!", while some fans were leaving serious messages.
Of course, Jiang Yuan couldn’t see these messages at the scene. Only other viewers who were watching the live broadcast could see such a scene.
It was not until Jiang Yuan stepped onto the podium that the number of fan messages on the barrage began to increase.
Before this, most fans were just watching the live broadcast calmly without saying anything.
Therefore, the ordinary audience watching the live broadcast of the award ceremony were also surprised by the huge scale of the barrage at this time.
After walking for a long time, Jiang Yuan finally made his way to the podium.
"Congratulations on winning the award. I look forward to you creating even better works in the future." The award presenter said to Jiang Yuan with a smile and handed over the trophy.
After Jiang Yuan took it, he felt a weight in his hand; the trophy seemed to be very heavy.
"Thank you." After saying thank you, Jiang Yuan also stood on the official podium, ready to give his acceptance speech.
When Jiang Yuan stood on the podium, the cheers and congratulations from the audience weakened a little, and everyone looked at Jiang Yuan quietly, waiting for his acceptance speech.
Jiang Yuan moved closer to the microphone and looked at the trophy in his hand for a moment.
The metal trophy is shaped like a robot and is said to have been designed based on Monton's imagination in his early years.
To a certain extent, it displays elements of science fiction style, and if it were put in the past, it would indeed be easier for people to feel that the design has a futuristic feel.
"Hello everyone, I am Omega. I am very happy to be able to attend this award ceremony and receive the"
At the beginning of his acceptance speech, Jiang Yuan gave a simple opening speech like a human-machine, and then began to seriously express his acceptance speech.
"I have actually participated in award ceremonies like this many times."
"But this is my first time attending a science fiction award ceremony, and it's also my first time holding up a trophy like this one. It does feel a little different from other times."
Jiang Yuan shared his true thoughts honestly.
"But I am still very happy to win the award. I am also very grateful to be recognized by the Monton Award. It is also an encouragement to me." Jiang Yuan said seriously, holding the trophy in one hand.
"With such encouragement, I will be in a better state and devote myself to the creation of science fiction works. Soon after this, a science fiction movie will start shooting."
Although he didn't say much in his prepared acceptance speech, Jiang Yuan still arranged all the necessary publicity. The promotion of the film was also one of the main reasons why Jiang Yuan came to participate in the Menton Awards.
Now, it has finally been promoted during my acceptance speech.
"In addition to the movie, my editor Yang Chao also came to the scene today."
Jiang Yuan also cue Yang Chao while speaking, and the director cut to a close-up shot of Yang Chao at the right time.
At this time, Yang Chao thought that he was about to receive a special thank you from Jiang Yuan.
Yang Chao felt somewhat embarrassed. After all, he felt that he had not helped much in the publication of Jiang Yuan's works.
However, what Jiang Yuan said next made Yang Chao calm down a little and realize that he was overthinking.
“Before coming to participate in the Menton Award, I had already signed a contract with my editor for the collection of scripts and the novel of Wandering Blue Star.”
"In addition, it has been confirmed that a new book with science fiction elements will be released this year."
“I hope I can still be there next year to meet you all.”
Jiang Yuan finally briefly promoted his movie and new book, then walked down the podium.
The entire acceptance speech was relatively concise, and to some extent, it even sounded like an arrangement of his future work plans.
In the end, they also expressed their hope to see each other again at the awards ceremony the following year, which made many candidates at the scene feel as if they were swept up by Jiang Yuan. They did not expect that Jiang Yuan could maintain a certain output while having more than one career.
Judging from "The Last Question", the novelists present at the scene all felt that Jiang Yuan was telling the truth and that a work of a certain standard would be released within the year.
If this is the case with colleagues, there is no need to say more about fans.
Omega’s fans were also very satisfied with this acceptance speech, which could basically be regarded as a preview of new book information, and they suddenly became hopeful.
[Okay, okay, you promoted your movie and new book during your acceptance speech. You must have been confident that you could win the award! ]
[After receiving the award, he directly expressed his desire to come again next year. This is indeed Jiang Yuan’s behavior. 】
[After winning two awards in a row, Omega officially announced its entry into science fiction! ]
[I’m really looking forward to it! ]
[It will be out within this year? So it has been finished, right? ]
[Very good news! ]

After Jiang Yuan received the award and gave his acceptance speech, Omega's fans felt like it was New Year's Day and felt that life was getting better.
Jiang Yuan’s fans feel that there are too many recent materials to watch. For a multi-faceted person like Jiang Yuan, the materials are always one after another.
Not long after the acceptance speech was released, information about Omega's new book appeared on the Internet, along with the news of the award.
After the topic became a hot search trend, it also attracted a lot of attention.
As for the movie title "Wandering Blue Planet", Jiang Yuan has repeatedly mentioned it in various promotional activities recently, which has indeed left a deep impression on netizens who are concerned about Jiang Yuan's information.
Jiang Yuan was still at the award ceremony, so he naturally wouldn't be able to see the reactions on the Internet immediately.
After getting off the stage and returning to his seat, he mainly studied the trophy he had just won with Yang Chao.
It was only after careful study by the audience that they discovered that the robot-shaped trophy was movable, which added a certain playability. It looked a bit like a specially made figure, which made it different from previous living trophies.
After receiving the award, Jiang Yuan felt even more bored staying on site to watch the award ceremony. Without any nomination, all the awards had almost nothing to do with him.
However, as the award ceremony was coming to an end, Jiang Yuan thought some things through and decided to treat it as a review for next year's award ceremony.
No matter how he spoke, he had already said it, and Jiang Yuan was indeed planning to strive for the Monton Prize next year.
This is a good opportunity to take a look at the award ceremony process and study the general rules for the final awards.
Without a mobile phone to search, Jiang Yuan could only listen to Yang Chao's explanations to learn about the relevant information.
"The main award of the Menton Prize seems to be based on the unified scoring of the candidates' works created and published in the past year, and finally the one with the highest score is selected as the winner."
"If you want to win this award with just a novel, it seems to be a bit difficult, especially if your new book is not a pure science fiction work."
Yang Chao detailed the evaluation methods of the award, and also helped Jiang Yuan analyze the possibility of winning the Monton Award next year.
After hearing Yang Chao's introduction, Jiang Yuan suddenly realized that it was not easy to win the award.
However, given the limited time, it is difficult for Jiang Yuan to devote all his attention to this field just for this award.
Fortunately, when Jiang Yuan just said "see you next year" when he gave his acceptance speech, he was not directly indicating that he would win the most important award next year.
As long as you attend and are shortlisted for some other awards, you can be considered to have successfully completed your goal.
"Who do you think will win the award?" Jiang Yuan discovered that Tails, who had greeted him before, was also on the nomination list.
When asked about other novelists who attended the Monton Prize ceremony, especially those on the final shortlist for this award, Yang Chao gave a very detailed answer.
Time passed in speculation about the outcome. Jiang Yuan was not very familiar with the final winner, but he heard Yang Chao say that the winner was very famous.
The award ceremony of the Monton Prize came to an end.
Having successfully won the award, Jiang Yuan felt that the trip was a complete success.
At the same time, Jiang Yuan was particularly eye-catching at this awards ceremony.
On the one hand, Jiang Yuan’s own popularity buff attracted many passers-by to pay attention to this Monton awards ceremony.
Then starting from the red carpet, Jiang Yuan's outfit also looked very eye-catching compared with other people.
Then, when he won the award and gave his acceptance speech, there was a big preview.
It can be said that Jiang Yuan's performance in the entire award ceremony was still very good.
After the award ceremony, Jiang Yuan and Yang Chao were not able to leave immediately, but were stopped by the media for a special interview.
"I want to ask what made you dress like this on the red carpet today, while the other guests are wearing more conventional formal attire."
The reporter who first asked Jiang Yuan a question directly traced the question back to the start of the red carpet.
"Many people are discussing this topic on the Internet now." At the end, the reporter added a sentence to Jiang Yuan.
After hearing this question, Jiang Yuan thought about it carefully before answering.
"It's like this actually. I wore this kind of formal clothes too much when I attended various activities before."
"Plus, I wanted Omega to look a little different from Jiang Yuan, so I chose this outfit." Jiang Yuan shared his true thoughts seriously.
After getting the answer, the reporter nodded with satisfaction, and then another reporter asked questions.
Surrounded by a group of reporters, Jiang Yuan tried his best to answer some questions.
This includes issues such as publicity during acceptance speeches.
With the idea of continuing the publicity, Jiang Yuan also answered these questions in detail one by one.
It took quite a while to finish the interview.
"It's almost as good as an interview." Jiang Yuan couldn't help but sigh when leaving the award ceremony.
Yang Chao said nothing, but nodded in agreement.
Although he had been interviewed before, Yang Chao was still deeply impressed by facing so many cameras like this.
