Wang Yong talks to the audience in the studio.

On the other side, as time approached, the judges were all seated.

The judges exchanged courteous greetings and sat down on the rostrum. Below is the black crowd, all of them are media reporters and invited guests.

"Academician Sima? It's rare to see you! We haven't seen each other for five years, have we? " After seeing academician Sima, an old scholar with the same white hair said.

Academician Sima held the man's hand tightly and said with emotion: "yes, academician Xu. It's been five years. I haven't seen any frontier research institutes since I left them. I thought it would be hard to see our comrades in arms who lived and died together until we went down to earth

Academician Xu gently smiles and shakes his head: "how can it be? Those years are memories that we can never erase from our hearts. The task is arduous, the condition is arduous, the environment is abominable, but was carried down by us rigidly, also realized several important technical breakthroughs, that is our lifetime pride! Last night, I dreamt about those days. In my dream, I beat the little bunny who changed my wine. It's not so much fun! "

After hearing this, academician Sima's face suddenly became strange: "cough... In fact, the little rabbit who changed your wine into horse urine is at the scene today. If you like, you can beat him now, not in a dream. "

"What?" Academician Xu was stunned“ How did he come to the scene? A journalist or a cameraman? "

"Neither. But... His book is in the finals. He's invited. "

After a while, academician Xu murmured, "how can it be? Can the little bunny write a book? By the way, when I used to call him "little bunny", I forgot his real name

"Wang Yong."

Academician Xu was stunned and asked, "which Wang Yong?"

Academician Sima replied with a sigh: "which Wang Yong can you think of?"

"Lying trough!" The gentle academician Xu rarely scolded two dirty words“ It's him

For a long time, the two influential experts in the field of scientific research were speechless for a long time.

After a while, they gave a bitter smile and comforted each other: "forget it, it's all over. This little bunny can have such a promising future. It's a long face for us. It's not in vain. At the beginning, we painstakingly educated him in the scientific research institute. By the way, Lao Chang is here today. Let's tell Lao Chang about it as soon as possible

Academician Sima and academician Xu looked at each other with gleeful smile, turned and walked towards an old scientist in the distance.

The old Chang in their mouth was the one who took the lead in hunger strike and asked to drive Wang Yong away. I hate Wang Yong much more than other people. Even after the end of the scientific research project, Lao Chang still wants to go to the army and ask Wang Yong to come over. If he has nothing to do, he will give vent to his anger.

But later, I didn't know why I didn't succeed, which made me more angry.

If Lao Chang knew that Wang Yong was at the scene, he would jump two meters tall.

Unfortunately, Lao Chang had no chance to vent his anger, and the ceremony had already begun.

A famous host of entertainment circle stood on the stage, smiling and said: "welcome to the selection and award ceremony of the Seventh National Book Award! I'm the host Wang Han. I'm flattered to be invited to preside over this ceremony. As we all know, the National Book Award is one of the few cultural awards in China, which can be called the Golden Melody Award in cultural circles. This time, tens of thousands of people related to the cultural industry gathered at the scene. It is no exaggeration to say that 70% of the cultural magnates in China have come here! As a little host, I'm not only trembling, but also proud of you! "

Wow, applause from the audience.

It has to be admitted that Wang Han has a unique advantage in hosting such ceremonies. He understands culture and respects culture. He speaks appropriately and well. Both the audience and the judges present are comfortable with what he says.

"Next, I'd like to introduce the process of the ceremony..." Wang Han took the hand card and began to introduce the process of the ceremony.

All kinds of speeches, opening performances and so on.

After half an hour, I finally got through all these completely negligible links.

The audience in Qian Xiaozheng's live studio watched it blandly and lost 30%.

If Qian Xiaozheng had not exchanged a few sentences with Wang Yong from time to time and said a joke, I'm afraid most people would have run away.

Who came to watch the live broadcast to see these leaders' speeches?

The stage lighting suddenly changed, and the lighting color and atmosphere became serious.

So we all know that the play is coming.

Sure enough, the leader who came to power this time is Minister Cao!

"Oh, it's Minister Cao! This is the first National Book Award ceremony attended by ministers! In the past, the highest one was a vice ministry. It seems that this time, the top officials attached great importance to this ceremony. " Some cultural scholars in the audience sighed.

"It's normal that China is now strong and is taking the route of cultural export. Cultural related departments are becoming more and more important, and the key ceremony of the National Book Award is naturally the top priority. " It was explained.

There was also a commotion in the media area. It was obvious that Minister Cao did not expect to appear.

Even the judges on the judges' bench whispered their surprise unexpectedly.

Only Wang Yong, who is in the front row of the audience, looks calm.

Based on Wang Yong's understanding of Minister Cao, it would be strange if he didn't come. Minister Cao can't hold sand in his eyes, but Wang Yong's words are equivalent to sprinkling a grain of sand in his eyes. Although it doesn't get in the way, it's hard not to rub it out.

If Minister Cao doesn't come to take charge himself, he will feel uneasy.

"Good afternoon, everyone. In fact, I was just passing by. I hesitated for a long time before I came here. I was worried that the judges would make a wrong judgment on their due decisions because of my arrival. But later I thought, if my coming alone will affect the fairness of the selection, why should we invite the backbone of Chinese cultural circles to be the judges? What is the backbone? That is to say, I would rather give up than give up, that is, when the king of heaven comes, I will not shake my faith! Therefore, I trust all the judges and believe that they will really take the responsibility of the backbone of China and provide a fair and open selection environment for all the shortlisted books! Well, not much nonsense. I announce that the Seventh National Book Award is officially launched

Minister Cao's words came down with thunderous applause.

And a group of judges on the jury, the expression is different. Some judges who had other ideas seemed to be hit by the word "backbone". Their eyes, which were slightly turbid, became clear again.

Wang Han, standing beside him, took over the conversation and announced: "the books nominated for this National Book Award are: Huaxia state owned enterprise reform, Huaxia basic science reader, Huaxia Yinfeng series...."

One book after another was read from Wang Han's mouth, and the audience was calm.

The nomination has been announced for a long time, and everyone knows it.

In fact, what makes people pay more attention at this time is not Wang Hannian's nomination list, but the judges who have already started to select the honorary awards on the other side.

The nomination award, Honor Award and national award will be selected.

The nomination award, also known as the shortlist award, has been announced for a long time; The honor award is selected from the nomination award, a group of books with high quality; The National Award, however, is the ultimate award, that is, the "National Book Award" among the people.

In fact, the honor award is a very worrying award. When you hear the name of your book, you don't know whether you should be happy or not.

If you are happy, winning the honor award means that the book has lost the hope of winning the National Award and no further expectation; If you're not happy, in case the book doesn't win the national prize, doesn't it mean you're empty handed?

"Well, the list of honorary awards of this National Book Award has appeared in my hands. You must be very excited. In fact, I am also very excited. Only ten books have been awarded, while 43 books have been nominated. I think you know better than I do what that means. "

Before Wang Han's words were heard, the faces of many people at the scene changed.

Forty three were shortlisted for naturalization, and only ten won the honor award. According to the Convention, there is only one place for the National Award, and there will be two in the top day.

This means that at least 31 books will be eliminated!

In an instant, the palms of the people who were shortlisted for the book all exuded a sweat.

"It's a little cruel!" Qian Xiaozheng came up to Wang Yong and said.

Wang Yong nodded with approval: "it's really cruel for those who are eliminated."

"Qian Xiaozheng was speechless for a while.

Wang Yong said this as if he would be selected.

You know, your book is at the bottom of the netizen support rate! You are the least qualified to laugh at others!

"The ten books that won the honor Prize are --" Wang Han lengthened his tone and said deliberately.

Many of the audience below have been nervous and scolded. Has this guy done too much in a certain singing program, and even learned the appetizing skills in that program?

"Say it Finally someone can't help but urge.

With a smile, Wang Han continued: "new oracle bone inscriptions collection!"

"Wow There was a voice of admiration and regret at the scene.

The author of the new collection of oracle bone inscriptions stood up and bowed slightly.

Although not able to win the National Award, but at least not in the elimination of 31 books, still can.

"Laser applications!"

"Bridge engineering mechanics"! "

Wang Han announced two books in a row.

This time, not only the live audience, but also the netizens watching the live broadcast in front of the computer.

"What a pity! These two books in the microblog vote, but shot in the third and fourth place! With such a high support rate, I didn't win the prize, alas

"It's one thing for netizens to support, and it's another thing for judges to choose. If netizens can accurately predict the award-winning books, will the judges abandon them? "

The netizens talked, then pricked up their ears, waiting for Wang Han to announce the remaining seven honor books.

"Ramayana!"

"Practical Pediatrics!"

"Capriccio!"

……

One after another, Wang Han has read nine books in a flash.

However, Wang Yong's classic of Sinology has never appeared. It seems that not only can't win the National Award, but also the honor award.

"I'm sorry for your change." Qian Xiaozheng patted Wang Yong on the shoulder to comfort him.

Wang Yong looked confident and said with a smile, "what's the rush? Haven't you finished yet? "

Qian Xiaozheng turned his lips. Wang Yong really didn't know where he came from. At this time, there are still illusions!

I'm afraid that if the title of the last book is read out, Wang Yong will not be able to control himself and cry on the spot!

Qian Xiaozheng thought and looked up at Wang Han in the middle of the stage.

Wang Han moved the list before his eyes, and then his eyes fell on the audience again.

"The last book that won the honor award is Chinese Studies..."
