Chapter 820: Xinghe Announcement
At the concert, halfway through the performance, Jiang Yuan's shirt was already soaked with sweat.
He took a bottle of water and sat on the edge of one side of the four-sided stage. While replenishing water, he also started a chat with the fans at the scene.
“Today is actually a special day.”
As soon as Jiang Yuan opened his mouth, the fans in the audience began to make guesses.
When this kind of rhetoric appears in the past, normally there are some special surprises prepared.
Facing the expectant eyes of many fans, Jiang Yuan continued, "This is the day when I will meet you all at my first concert since I came to Rongzhou."
"In addition, this is also the time when the results of an important award will be announced, did you know that?" After being reminded of the time by the staff, Jiang Yuan also handed the microphone to the fans.
Most of the fans who were able to come to the concert were able to do so after successfully answering a lot of questions during the ticket-grabbing session.
Naturally, he is very familiar with the relevant information about Jiang Yuan and even some hot topics of current affairs.
The moment I heard Jiang Yuan ask this, the words “Galaxy Award” started popping up in my mind.
As they thought of the name, most of the fans also shouted out the name of this award in the audience.
Hearing such noises on the scene, Jiang Yuan also showed a somewhat surprised expression, and then continued to speak this part of the talk according to the originally designed script.
"Yes, today is also the day when the final results of the Galaxy Awards will be announced."
"Also, let me check the time," Jiang Yuan raised his hand and glanced at his watch, "At this time, it seems that the award ceremony is preparing to present the final award."
Jiang Yuan continued according to the time reminded by the staff, "Then next, I would like to invite everyone to watch this moment with me."
As soon as he finished speaking, the big screen on the stage switched to the scene of the award ceremony.
The sudden appearance of the scene also caused the fans at the scene to exclaim in surprise.
However, the award has not been announced yet, so it is not yet the truly decisive moment.
"We are just connecting to the viewing signal for the award ceremony now, and we will actually start connecting later." Jiang Yuan also turned around and looked at the big screen.
The real-time situation of the award ceremony was also broadcast live on the big screen on site.
The timing of the video call was just right, as it happened to be the moment when the final awards were about to be announced.
The fans were originally very excited, but at this time, everyone quieted down and watched the award presenter in the video walk onto the stage.
As the list of shortlisted works appeared on the screen one by one, Jiang Yuan once again raised the microphone and chatted briefly with his fans.
"If we win the award later, we will have a video link interaction with the audience." After Jiang Yuan said this, the fans looked at the big screen and couldn't help but start looking forward to it.
After the nomination list was announced, the camera scanned the award candidates who appeared at the awards ceremony one by one.
Among them, Yang Chao also appeared in the picture as Jiang Yuan’s representative.
“The Galaxy Science Fiction Award is dedicated to.”
Before the results are announced, there is a presentation on the origin and significance of the award, followed by some introductions about the winning authors.
Because the award presenters spoke in English and at a fast speed, for the fans at the concert it felt like they were listening to an English audiobook and it didn't feel very authentic.
However, as Jiang Yuan sat on the stage and listened, a smile unconsciously appeared on the corner of his mouth.
One of the sentences, the words "absolute surprise" and "unexpected" in the shortlist, sounded very pointed to Jiang Yuan.
At this time, the live broadcast of the award ceremony frequently cut to close-ups of Yang Chao.
Yang Chao had obviously acquired some experience in attending such occasions and did not seem to be stage fright at all. Those who did not know him would have thought that Yang Chao was the award winner himself sitting in the audience.
".The Final Question, Omega!!"
The award presenter opened the envelope in his hand, lowered his head to confirm, and then announced the result loudly.
At the Galaxy Awards ceremony, after hearing the result, Yang Chao suddenly stood up from his seat.
When it was time to step onto the podium, Yang Chao found it difficult to suppress his excitement.
After greeting other guests and audience members sitting around him, Yang Chao strode towards the podium with big strides.
Many candidates at the scene looked at Yang Chao's back and applauded with smiles on their faces.
However, there were also people who couldn't help but sigh in their hearts, even though after reading "The Last Question", everyone had already expected that Omega would be highly competitive for awards.
But having witnessed that the Galaxy Award is such a high-quality award for science fiction short stories, and that it was won by Omega, who is considered to be a cross-field writer, I still feel a little weird.
Unlike the candidates who entered the final selection stage, the writers who were eliminated in the preliminary and main selection stages were happy with this result.
Rather than seeing some old faces winning the awards, people are more likely to accept a situation where a newcomer from a different field like Omega is a dark horse all the way to the end.
At the concert, the moment the results were announced, Jiang Yuan could hardly hear any sound from the award ceremony.
Although the fans at the scene could not fully understand the long award speech, they were able to clearly capture the final result, the obvious word "Omega".
Everyone witnessed Jiang Yuan winning the award and gave him warm cheers immediately.
This kind of cheering and celebration lasted for a very long time. Yang Chao, who was already in the picture, walked all the way to the podium, and everyone finally quieted down.
"This is the first time I see so many people winning an award with me." After the scene calmed down, Jiang Yuan said with a smile.
This sentence once again touched many fans.
"Because there are many moments when I want to share this glory with you, I specially prepared this segment." Jiang Yuan said as he stood up from the edge of the stage.
The cheering lights of the audience also turned gold at this time, symbolizing a glorious moment.
Fans in the audience also unconsciously took out their mobile phones to record this moment.
Everyone felt that they had won Rongzhou Station by a huge margin this time.
Such a moment is enough to make this concert unique. At least such a segment will not appear in other concerts.
After learning the result of winning the award, Jiang Yuan always had a smile on his face.
From time to time he looked at the fans at the scene, and from time to time he looked up at the pictures on the big screen.
At the award ceremony, Yang Chao took over the trophy from the presenter and took out a small note from his pocket, preparing something to say.
"Hello everyone, I am Yang Chao, the editor of Omega. I am here to accept the award on behalf of Omega."
"Because this guy should be performing at his own concert right now."
While greeting, Yang Chao first explained the reason why Jiang Yuan was unable to appear at the scene.
The other candidates at the scene were obviously stunned by this reason, and then they felt it was far from the truth.
A feeling of a master being beaten to death by random punches came to mind. "But." Yang Chao quickly changed the subject and began to explain the situation of the video connection as arranged before.
"Yes, Omega is ready to connect with us live."
"Just now, before the award results were announced, he was already watching our award ceremony." The host also explained the situation.
At the concert, Jiang Yuan also discussed the video connection with fans.
So when the video was connected, the fans at the scene maintained a certain degree of silence, but the award ceremony seemed a bit noisy.
Seeing Jiang Yuan appear on the big screen with her stage makeup on, coupled with the concert background, it really looked a bit dreamy.
"Hello everyone, I am at the concert now."
After Jiang Yuan finished saying this, the photographer in charge raised the camera and took pictures of all the fans in the audience.
At this time, all the fans in the audience waved their glow sticks vigorously.
This performance with such an audience size once again surprised everyone at the award ceremony.
"I am honored to have just seen the award news with my fans." Jiang Yuan spoke again.
"You should have prepared your acceptance speech, right?" On the stage, Yang Chao also interacted with Jiang Yuan at this time.
"I've prepared some things." Jiang Yuan nodded.
Having said that, Jiang Yuan also gave a brief speech of thanks.
"The only pity is that I was not able to receive the trophy in the first place. To be honest, I really like this trophy." After announcing the names of those who should be thanked, Jiang Yuan said with a regretful expression.
"Don't worry, this trophy here is just a sample. After a while, a specially customized trophy will be delivered to you." The host said on the spot.
"Then I'm looking forward to it." Jiang Yuan replied with a smile.
As he said this, he looked again at the trophy in Yang Chao's hand.
The Galaxy Award lives up to its name as a science fiction award. The trophy is designed to look like a small figurine and looks very technological.
The overall shape is that of the earth, but the color is not what everyone knows.
It looks like a mechanical planet, as if it is covered by high-tech machinery.
According to Jiang Yuan's understanding of the trophy, the trophy can also be transformed and expanded, and each one has a unique design.
In Jiang Yuan's mind, this is equivalent to a super limited edition model toy.
“After receiving this award, I will continue to try to create some works in this direction.”
Before hanging up the call, Jiang Yuan also took this opportunity to clarify his thoughts.
With the endorsement of the Galaxy Award, no one should find it too abrupt when shooting science fiction movies in the future.
After the video call ended, Yang Chao was on the scene to wrap up Jiang Yuan's acceptance speech.
However, at the award ceremony, many people were still immersed in the words that Jiang Yuan had just said at the end.
I didn’t expect that after this excellent short story, Jiang Yuan would continue to create this type of work.
Everyone was thoughtful for a moment. The award ceremony was broadcast live simultaneously. After Jiang Yuan's words were spread, the impact was immediate.
Several mystery novel forums immediately exploded.
[Omega really won the Galaxy Award! ! ]
Because of Omega, these forum users are also very concerned about the announcement of this award.
As soon as the award was announced, a related hot post was published.
Originally, everyone was posting comments like congratulations and awesome under this post.
As I was praising him, I was suddenly shocked by the last sentence of Jiang Yuan's acceptance speech.
[What do you mean? Why are you planning to continue writing science fiction? ]
[Damn, no wonder I'm not as productive as before, I ended up climbing the wall. ]
[I was watching it happily, but suddenly there was a backstab at the end. ]
[So there won’t be any new mystery works this year (crying)]
[Although, it seems that Omega's science fiction is also quite good. 】
[Anyway, I'm just looking forward to it. If it doesn't look good, I'll definitely continue writing mysteries. ]

The interpretations of Jiang Yuan's acceptance speech basically fall into two directions.
Some people are a little sad about this result, while others are more open-minded.
The response on the Internet continued to spread little by little as the award ceremony was broadcast live.
At the concert, Jiang Yuan was in a good mood after hanging up the video call, and so were the fans at the concert.
It just so happened that in the next part, we prepared some exciting songs that could boost the atmosphere of the scene, allowing the whole audience to have fun together in the atmosphere of witnessing the award.
The performances of the next few suites made it feel like the whole audience had come together to celebrate the award.
In the Yuan Universe, many fans who were unable to attend the event also saw the situation at the event through the award ceremony, and they were immediately jealous.
Fans who didn't come to the event were still comforting themselves by saying that they wouldn't be able to watch the live broadcast of the award ceremony at the concert.
Unexpectedly, the concert also arranged a special session for watching the award ceremony and connecting with the live event.
After this short clip, Day 1 of the concert seemed to be a complete win for the fans.
Similarly, after the results of the Galaxy Awards were announced, they were immediately reported by many news media.
Although the Galaxy Award is well-known in certain circles, most passers-by rarely pay attention to the award from preliminary to final selection.
So the perspective of most passers-by is basically that they learned about Jiang Yuan's participation in the award selection when the Galaxy Awards started.
Then after a while, I learned the news that Jiang Yuan had won the award.
Although I didn't have a clear understanding of the concept of the award, I was indeed shocked by the result.
When Jiang Yuan was still performing, the related topic had already topped the list of global hot search trends and was being noticed by more and more people.
