Chapter 535: Winning Chain Reaction(1/2)
"What were you talking about with the bookstore owner just now? He looked surprised?"
After leaving the bookstore, Shang Yan'er asked, a little curious about what happened to Jiang Yuan chatting with the owner in the bookstore just now.
"Oh, I told him that I am very familiar with the author, so he was surprised." Jiang Yuan blinked.
But I also reviewed the events in the store in my mind.
After the shop owner said that it was possible that the person he passed by in the bookstore was Omega, Jiang Yuan directly revealed his identity.
What Jiang Yuan didn't expect was that although the old shop owner was a little shocked, he really believed Jiang Yuan's statement.
He also asked Jiang Yuan to sign the title page of the book "No Survival" that he had opened for reading, and even offered to help Jiang Yuan keep the information about his identity.
Although he is not 100% sure that the other party really believes in him, and it is possible that the shop owner just thinks it would be more interesting, Jiang Yuan is still looking forward to the day when he really loses his vest, and what the shop owner will think of him.
reaction.
"That's it." Shang Yan'er also didn't doubt him and thought it was a very reasonable statement.
A quick walk to the restaurant for dining.
Maybe it was because I wasted so much energy, so I felt that the food that was supposed to be average was okay.
After the meal, Jiang Yuan and others went straight back to the dormitory and spent a pretty good day.
After returning to his room, Jiang Yuan also took out his tablet, opened the memo, and started writing and drawing on it.
Thanks to the script of "Your Name", Jiang Yuan has also mastered some simple drawing skills.
While I was writing down my diary, I was also trying to think of whether I could shoot some simple visual short films for the upcoming road show songs.
After drawing for a while, Jiang Yuan got distracted and started to check the live broadcast of the Collin Award on the Internet.
As one of the more important awards ceremonies, the Collin Awards are broadcast in real time on the Internet.
Jiang Yuan followed the official account of the award and clicked on the live broadcast link.
I have to say that the time when Jiang Yuan remembered the Collin Award was quite coincidental. The award ceremony was almost at its last moment.
The most important prize is also announced at this time.
While Jiang Yuan was following the live broadcast, he curiously opened the system panel and took a look, confirming the reminder that he had not won any awards before.
In other words, Jiang Yuan has not won any of the awards before this one.
But to a certain extent, this can be considered a good thing, as it means that Jiang Yuan has a greater chance of winning this award.
The nominations for this award will be announced on site.
Since the shortlisted works were published last year, "Oriental Train" is not included in this list. The nominee was "Roger Mystery".
As the cover of each shortlisted book appeared on the big screen one after another, the music played on the scene became correspondingly tense.
The cover of each book has been specially treated with gold edges, which makes it look more textured.
An award-winning guest who looked a bit older stood on the stage and began to prepare to announce the award.
At this time, the camera swept across the candidates, and Jiang Yuan also saw Yang Chao in the camera, looking quite calm.
But what Jiang Yuan didn't know was that Yang Chao was at the scene and his back was soaked with sweat.
After all, apart from the Chinese Mystery Fiction Association Award, this is the largest award that Yang Chaoda has ever received.
Moreover, I flew thousands of miles to attend the award ceremony, so I still had relatively high expectations.
"The works that won this year's Colin Award..."
After the award-presenting guest paused for a moment, he began to read the award speech for the work.
"Its appearance has changed the writing style of existing mystery works with subversive tricks, and many imitation works have sprung up in a year..."
"Meticulous logic, astonishing reversals, fascinating historical background, vivid mustache detective..."
The award speech, which is full of words of praise, already contains a lot of information.
After everyone conducted a simple check-in, the final answer was actually ready to come out.
When the camera panned again, Yang Chao also changed his previous calm expression, and began to show an excited look on his face.
"Gentlemen and ladies, at this last moment, I would like to solemnly announce that the final winner of this year's Colin Award is "Roger Mystery"!"
After the award speech, the award-giving guest announced loudly.
At the same time, only the cover of the book "Roger Mystery" was left on the big screen on the stage, and Omega's name was printed on the side, making it look shiny.
"It's just that our mysterious Omega still didn't show up at the award ceremony, so we asked his editor CHAO~YANG~ to come on stage to accept the award on his behalf!"
Then Yang Chao was invited, but the name was pronounced somewhat melodiously.
At the Collin Award Ceremony, Yang Chao stood up excitedly after hearing his name, straightened his dress, shook hands with the people next to him, and finally walked toward the stage.
At the same time, Jiang Yuan also received a reminder from the system.
The achievement value for winning the award should have been received, but Jiang Yuan did not check it immediately. Instead, he watched with interest, waiting for Yang Chao to give his acceptance speech.
Amid warm applause, Yang Chao walked to the podium, took the trophy, and then took out a folded letter from his jacket pocket.
"I am very happy and honored to be able to represent Omega at the awards ceremony to receive this major award."
"Although Omega was not able to come to the scene today, he asked me to give you a short acceptance speech, and I will read it to you."
The whole place was quiet except for Yang Chao's voice. When I heard that Omega had also prepared an acceptance speech, there were some shouts, and then it became quiet again.
Jiang Yuan then remembered that when he responded to Yang Chao's message, the other party asked him to write a few words about how he would feel if he really won the award.
What Yang Chao is going to read now is obviously that paragraph.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "I would like to thank the organizer for winning the Colin Award, and also thank you for this excellent work "Roger Mystery"."
"At the same time, everyone is welcome to buy and read the new work "No Survival" which will be launched at the same time today."
Jiang Yuan thought that Yang Chao would polish it up for him, so he wrote it hastily.
Unexpectedly, Yang Chao hastily copied his original words.
However, these are indeed Jiang Yuan's true thoughts. I would like to thank the organizer for winning the award. At the same time, Grandma's "Roger's Mystery" is also really good.
By the way, I was thinking of advertising the new book.
There is nothing wrong with Yang Chao's direct retelling, which successfully achieved this goal.
"Okay, it's over." Yang Chao folded the letter paper. After listening to this brief acceptance speech on the spot, he felt that it was very consistent with Omega's character, and they all laughed kindly.
"Finally, what I want to say is that "No One Survived" is definitely worth reading and highly recommended."
"Also, there is another big news to announce to everyone. By this time next year, maybe Omega himself will appear at the award ceremony."
Yang Chao also concluded his acceptance speech very briefly.
The core of the theme - advertising, and by the way, a brief preview of Jiang Yuan's revelation.
After the presentation, Yang Chao walked off the stage with the trophy, and the award ceremony officially came to an end.
The award-winning "Roger Mystery" and Yang Chao's acceptance speech also successfully aroused a certain amount of heated discussion on the Internet.
【Omega is still as mysterious as ever!】
【Deserved!】
[Although the acceptance speech was advertised many times, I do have to say that Omega’s new book is as OMG as ever!]
[What do you mean? Has Omega decided not to be mysterious anymore? 】
[I am really curious about this mysterious guy, but I still hope to maintain the current frequency and release more works!]
Foreign readers seemed to be very supportive of the barrage.
In the domestic mystery novel forum, there is also a corresponding live text broadcast of the Colin Award ceremony.
【Won a prize!!】
【congratulations!!】
【Won the first finalist award!】
[It’s so funny that the album and Yang Chao’s acceptance speech mainly feature an advertisement!]
[But "No Survival" is really top-notch! 】
[What does the editor mean by this? Are you really ready to receive the award yourself?]
[Good guy, I’ll have to see if he’s as handsome as Jiang Yuan then. 】
[It must be a rumor that he is as handsome as Jiang Yuan. It seems that he is a good friend. I seriously suspect that it is false news spread by the album himself! 】
【Suddenly I had a bold guess!】
——
Users in the forum also discussed the matter of Jiang Yuan's award very enthusiastically, and the posts continued to be hotly debated.
At the end of the Colin Award ceremony, Jiang Yuan also quit the live broadcast.
Not long after he quit, Jiang Yuan was bombarded with messages from Yang Chao.
To be continued...
