Rebirth of the Great Era 1993

Tao Ge took a step closer, looked at him condescendingly, and seduced him again:

"You really don't want to give it a try?"

Zhang Xuan looked at her from top to bottom and felt his blood soaring. He quickly crossed his legs and said, "Stop making trouble and put your clothes on quickly."

Tao Ge bent down and kissed him: "Haha, you are so cute. I like to see you look like you want to do it but don't dare."

After saying that, Tao Ge stretched his hands behind his head and put his hair back on.

Say: "I have confidence in you now."

Zhang Xuan asked: "What confidence?"

Tao Ge said, "Sister, I believe you won't go to Oriole's bed easily."

Zhang Xuan said calmly: "You are really overthinking this. Oriole is beautiful, but it still can't touch my heart."

Thinking of Mi Jian and Wen Hui's temperament, Tao Ge believed his words.

Tao Ge turned around half a circle: "Is my body so unattractive?"

Zhang Xuan: "."

These sisters are so awesome!

I didn't bother to pay attention to her, so I closed my eyes and sat back on the sofa, trying not to see her.

I was chanting in my heart, "Tathagata, Buddha, Avalokitesvara, Bodhisattva, Manjushri"

Recite both Buddhism and Taoism in one breath.

But it was useless. Before he was halfway through the sentence, Zhang Xuan felt someone else on his lap.

The next second, someone also grabbed him around his neck.

Zhang Xuan was helpless and opened his eyes: "Don't make trouble."

But this time, before he could finish his words, his words were blocked.

A few seconds later, Tao Ge lifted his hair and said, "Sister, I'm like this. If you don't give me some face, no one will be able to leave this room today."

Their eyes met, and after a minute, Zhang Xuan sighed in confusion: "I can't afford to give you this face."

Tao Ge didn't say anything, just picked up his right hand and put it on his heart, then leaned in and kissed it:

"Since the last moment of affection in the bathroom is gone, I don't have the shame to be reserved anymore. I want to kiss you to my heart's content today."

Seeing that he was indifferent, Tao Ge asked with a smile, "What? I've been working for you for three years and not getting any benefits at all?"

Zhang Xuan raised his eyelids: "I gave it today, what about the future?"

Tao Ge stared into his eyes with a smile but not a smile: "Are you afraid that sister will pester you?"

Zhang Xuan was very straightforward: "Afraid! Not just afraid!"

Tao Ge tilted his head and couldn't help but laugh.

After almost half a minute, she said very seriously: "Kiss sister."

After saying that, she posted it carefully.

Zhang Xuan wants to resist...

but!

5 minutes later…

Zhang Xuan asked: "Are you satisfied now?"

Tao Ge straightened up and said, "Actually, sister is already emotional."

Zhang Xuan pretended to be dead.

After a few seconds of silence, Tao Ge got up from him, pulled the clothes that were messed up by him and said, "Let's go. Get some rest early. We'll be busy tomorrow."

"Okay." Zhang Xuan stood up and left.

Tao Ge stopped him: "Are you going back like this?"

Zhang Xuan paused, walked to the bathroom, and started rinsing his mouth.

Tao Ge leaned against the door prism and told him with a smile: "Sister, I put on perfume today, you'd better take a shower."

Zhang Xuan had a headache: "You did it on purpose, right?"

Tao Ge remained silent, looking at him and smiling.

He didn't know what he was thinking of, but Tao Ge suddenly walked in and hugged him from behind: "Stop rinsing your mouth now, let's play for a while."

There was water in Zhang Xuan's mouth, and he said vaguely: "If we continue to play, something will really happen."

"Your acceptance speech for tomorrow is still in my sister's pocket, don't you want it anymore?"

"When did you take it?"

Tao Ge said, "What do you think?"

Thinking of the extra hand in his trouser pocket just now, the old man's mouth twitched: "Don't threaten me, can't I remember what I wrote?"

Tao Ge refused to listen and used brute force to turn him over and get close to him on tiptoe.

5 minutes later.

Tao Ge let go of him, wiped the toothpaste from the corner of his mouth, and waved his hand neatly: "Hurry up and take a shower, sister is really perfumed."

Facing the figure walking out of the shower room, Zhang Xuan sighed: "I'm really scared of you. I will never be alone with you again."

Tao Ge chuckled, opened the door and walked out.

Seeing that the person was really gone, Zhang Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, and then began to take off his clothes and take a shower.

Although it was just a simple kiss, after all, it was better to be careful when hugging each other.

When they returned to their room, the two actors were still sleeping soundly on the bed. Zhang Xuan looked at the air conditioner and it was 26 degrees.

Then start changing clothes and doing laundry

Looking at the rolling washing machine, the old man secretly sighed: It is really difficult to be a human being!

"How did you come?"

Li Wendong was surprised when he opened the door and saw Tao Ge.

Tao Ge walked in: "What? You're not welcome?"

Li Wendong said: "Ever since I was a child, every time you said this, I would wisely choose to shut up."

"Then shut up."

Tao Ge sat on the sofa and said, "Pour me a glass of red wine."

Li Wendong asked: "Which one do you want? Romanee-Conti or Petrus?"

Tao Ge said: "It doesn't matter, just have a drink."

Li Wendong poured a glass of Kandi and handed it to her: "I didn't expect you to come here from London."

Tao Ge took a sip of wine: "Why do you say that?"

Li Wendong sat opposite: "Because you are Tao Ge."

Tao Ge said: "Tao Ge is also a woman."

Li Wendong nodded and asked: "Since you are a woman, why?"

Tao Ge interrupted: "Why are you here? Why don't you stay with him for a while?"

Li Wendong nodded again.

Tao Ge looked out through the window and said, "I have gotten what I want from him.

And I can’t get the rest for a while. Why bother looking for trouble? "

Li Wendong thought about everything and pondered for a long time before saying: "Are you really not going to fight for it?"

Tao Ge asked, "If Wen Yu didn't agree to you back then, what would you do?"

Li Wendong was stunned, picked up the wine glass and said, "I respect you!"

Tao Ge raised his glass and touched it to him: "Drank it in one gulp."

Li Wendong smiled happily and said, "This is red wine."

Tao Ge ignored it, raised his head and took a gulp.

Seeing this, Li Wendong also followed suit.

Tao Ge put down his glass, stood up and said, "Thank you for the wine."

Li Wendong shouted towards her back: "It's boring anyway, why don't you sit down for a while?"

Tao Ge turned his back and waved his little hand, opened and closed the door with a bang and left.

…

At 18:00 on August 20, the Hugo Award Ceremony of the 64th World Science Fiction Convention was held at the Spokane Convention Center.

A total of 19 awards were awarded that night in various categories such as "Best Work", "Best Editing" and "Best Series".

At 10 a.m. that day, at the regular official meeting of the World Science Fiction Congress, it was also announced that the 65th World Science Fiction Congress would be held in Wellington, New Zealand, in 1997.

That night, George R.R. Martin attended the Hugo Award Ceremony of this science fiction conference and served as the host.

There is no doubt that the award in the "Best Work" category is the highlight of the entire awards ceremony.

Awards in this category include Best Short Story (within 7,500 words), Best Short and Medium Story (7,500-17,500 words), Best Medium and Long Story (17,500-40,000 words), and Best Long Story (at least 40,000 words).

Compared with the rigorous and complicated process of the domestic Mao Dun Literary Award, the Hugo Award is much more relaxed.

There are many people and it is very noisy.

Domestic award ceremonies are more about polite smiles and applause, but here it is all screaming and laughter.

Zhang Xuan and his party arrived not too early, and did not cause much disturbance when they walked in.

Tao Ge said with emotion: "It seems that although you are famous, not many people know you as a real person."

Zhang Xuan didn't care: "This is better. To be honest, I just want to receive the award quietly."

But before he finished speaking, he noticed that a group of people had noticed him.

Then the group came towards him.

Tao Ge looked at the visitor and said, "It should be the organizer."

"San Yue, Welcome to Washington."

Martin, the leader, strode over with his arms outstretched, a look of enthusiasm on his face.

The actions of Martin and others attracted the attention of the entire scene. With the sound of "San Yue", the entire audience immediately went into a frenzy.

With a "wow" sound, many people stood up and looked around, wanting to see for the first time what the great god in the science fiction world looked like.

The people who were far away stood up, and those who were closer became excited. While screaming like crazy, they all took out their cameras and clicked at him.

For a time, Zhang Xuan's eyes were almost dazzled by countless flashing lights.

Tao Ge was very discerning and pulled Du Shuangling away before Martin and others came over.

She knew she couldn't let Du Shuangling appear in the camera. Otherwise, if it spreads to the country, it will be very difficult to meet rice.

Even so, Tao Ge was still a little worried and made several calls to the country.

"thank you."

Faced with a well-known figure like George Martin who had already become a god, Zhang Xuan did not make excuses and kept his hands on him very politely.

"San Yue, I like your "Clockwork Girl" and "A Song of Ice and Fire" very much." George Martin said this with sincerity.

Okay, "The Wind-up Girl" is okay, but what the hell is "A Song of Ice and Fire"?

"Thank you, I also like your "The Morning and the Mist Passes" and "A Space Odyssey"." Zhang Xuan said truthfully.

Many writers and celebrities came to the scene, and Zhang Xuan recognized Arthur Charles Clark in the front row with just a glance. This was a leading figure in science fiction who had a profound influence on Liu.

It is said that peers are enemies, but in the world of science fiction, Zhang Xuan still received many friendly greetings and many business cards.

After thinking about it, he understood what was going on?

Compared with the big world of world literature, today's science fiction novels are only a small corner, and there is still a long way to go. For their own benefit, these science fiction writers are joining the group to keep themselves warm and work together to make the pie of science fiction novels bigger.

As a world-renowned author who has continuously ranked among the top three best-sellers in the world, Zhang Xuan is naturally an awesome being that all the big guys present must respect and win over.

After thinking about this, Zhang Xuan felt a little happier.

There were so many people and they were so enthusiastic that it took Zhang Xuanguang more than ten minutes to say hello and exchange pleasantries.

Seeing that he became the center of attention as soon as his name was revealed, Tao Ge said to Du Shuangling, "Sister, I really envy you sometimes."

Du Shuangling reached out to hold her arm and said with a full smile: "He is able to achieve what he has today because of Sister Tao's contribution."

Tao Ge turned his head to look at her: "No wonder he loves you so much, you have such a sweet mouth."

Li Wendong next to him never spoke, but held up his camera to take pictures, not far away of Zhang Xuan, but also the three of them.

Damn it, I finally got through it.

This level of difficulty was almost as good as that of Tao Ge in the shower room. Zhang Xuan cursed in his heart and came to sit in front of a few people.

Li Wendong took a close-up photo of him and asked: "How does it feel to be surrounded by a group of foreigners?"

Zhang Xuan smacked his lips: "As a Chinese, I feel proud."

Li Wendong said: "For what you said, I will treat everyone to a big dinner tonight."

There is a special introduction booklet at the award ceremony.

As soon as you open it, you will see a single page dedicated to "The Wind-up Girl", which occupies the title page and the first page of the single booklet, which is very eye-catching.

Du Shuangling flipped through the entire book and said happily: ""Clockwork Girl" occupies the largest space, occupying two pages, one page is an introduction to his personal information, and one page is an introduction to his works.

Other works and characters only have one page. "

Tao Ge also noticed this and lowered his head to analyze: "This should be related to the global influence of "Clockwork Girl" and Zhang Xuan's personal achievements.

Moreover, the most important award of the Hugo Award is the Best Novel Award, which may lead to the focus of the book. "

Li Wendong listened to the conversation between the two women and compared it carefully. He found that it was indeed the case, and then pointed to the photo in the booklet and said:

"Isn't this photo of you in a suit the way you were when you attended the Arsenal press conference?"

Zhang Xuan took a closer look: "It's true, maybe the organizer couldn't find any other photos of me? I just used this one."

Tao Ge raised his head: "Did you think you might look the most elegant in a suit, so you chose this one?"

Zhang Xuan looked at himself and said, "I am also wearing a suit today. It seems that I will be on the headlines of major newspapers tomorrow."

Hearing him boast, the three of them laughed in unison.

Paying tribute to those who have passed away is a special part of every Hugo Award. The one on this year's list is Heinlein.

This man is a famous American science fiction novelist, a master of hard science fiction, and one of the three most iconic figures in the history of science fiction. He passed away a few years ago. Representative works include "Starship Troopers", "Star Trek", "Hardest", "Citizens of the Galaxy", etc.

The speech in memory of Rheinland was accompanied by a sentence from "Doctor Who": No matter where you are, in the jungle, in the desert, or far away on the moon, no matter how lost you feel, you will always be Not really lost, ever.

After the specific session, the award ceremony officially began.

The first award was for the Best Amateur Painter. The winner was Elizabeth Leggegh. This woman is a writer for "The New Scientist" magazine and has a column describing contemporary science fiction.

Next are the awards for Best Semi-Professional Magazine, Best Editor, Best Professional Painter, Best Dramatic Performance, Best Picture Book, and Best Related Work.

After these awards were awarded, the Hugo Award Ceremony ushered in today's key unit, which is also the core award of the entire evening.

The first one is the Best Short Story Award: "The Lincoln Train", the winning author is Maureen F. McHugh

The second is the Best Short Novella Award: "Think Like a Dinosaur", the winning author is James Patrick Kelly

The third prize is the Best Long Novel Joke Award: "The Death of Captain Future", the winning author is Allen Steele.

When the three awards were over, host George Martin stood on the stage and called out Zhang Xuan with a very high voice and the qualitative word "the greatest contemporary science fiction writer".

For a moment, the awards ceremony received the warmest, most lasting, and most ecstatic applause tonight.

"Honey, come on!"

Du Shuangling, whose eyes were full of stars, cheered quietly from the side.

"Um."

Zhang Xuan hummed softly, straightened his black suit, then stood up and walked to the center of the stage in a graceful manner in front of everyone's attention.

Along the way, people on both sides of the aisle took crazy photos, and some stretched out their hands to shake his hand and say congratulations.

The treatment is like walking on a Hollywood red carpet, it feels so damn good!

What a sense of accomplishment!
