Is it reasonable for me to build a space elevator when filming The Wandering Earth?

After almost an hour's journey, the convoy finally arrived at its destination, the NEMO Science Center, just two kilometres from the Royal Palace in Amsterdam.

This year, the World Science Fiction Association chose this place as the venue for this year's Hugo Awards.

After arriving at the Science Center, the ambassador did not choose to enter with Liu Lang and the others.

In order to maintain its neutrality, the Hugo Award has always taken an attitude of avoiding suspicion towards politicians, so after a few pleasantries with everyone, the ambassador left first, leaving only a few bulletproof courtesy cars and some military attachés abroad.

There is still some time before the official start of the awards party, but many celebrities from all walks of life who have been invited to come have already gathered in the science center building.

In the studio of the live broadcast room, as Liu Lang and his party entered the science center in the live broadcast screen, the beautiful host began to drive the topic again.

"We can see that there are many cultural celebrities from all walks of life in Europe and the United States at the awards party, and they are not limited to the field of literature.

Regarding this point, can Editor-in-Chief Wei give the audience in our live broadcast room a science popularization?"

"This is the power of the Hugo Award, its influence is not limited to science fiction.

Including science fiction, fantasy film and television literature, it has a significant influence. Every year, it attracts European and American cultural circles to watch the ceremony.

However, due to the overwhelming dominance of English science fiction writers (including the United States, Britain, Canada, Australia and other countries) in the world science fiction community, the entries must be translated into English.

In some respects, this constitutes substantial discrimination against non-English-speaking science fiction works, and so far very few Asian science fiction writers have won the prize.

Editor-in-chief Wei looked at the live broadcast with a worried face, Liu Lang and his party were very few Asian faces in the venue.

As an annual event in the science fiction literary and cultural circle, almost all famous European and American science fiction creators will communicate through the channel of the awards party.

"You may not be familiar with these people, but if you talk about their work, it may be like thunder.

Just walked out of the picture is the executive producer of the popular sci-fi American drama "Boundless Space".

The group in the front right is the production team of The Martian.

The bearded man next to the blonde beauty at 11 o'clock on the left is George Martin, the author of Game of Thrones: A Song of Ice and Fire.

The guy at the bar seems to be the team of writers for the Avengers movie.

Wow, the director and screenwriter of "Inception" Christopher Nolan is also here!

His "Interstellar" and "Batman" series of movies should be familiar to everyone...

Under the introduction of Editor-in-Chief Wei, the audience in the live broadcast room had a general understanding of the many European and American cultural celebrities in this science center.

Foreign faces and names may confuse them a little, but when it comes to the works of these people, netizens are a little suddenly enlightened.

"Game of Thrones", "Inception", "Interstellar", "The Martian", "The Avengers" series of movies, any work is like a thunderous existence for Dragon Kingdom netizens.

[Enough, I've been chasing "Game of Thrones", but I didn't expect the original author to be this bearded

] [Christopher Nolan! Director Nuo, you are my god

!] ["Interstellar", "The Martian" is a big love! I hope to see Dragon Kingdom make such a work in my lifetime] [

It's a little strange, isn't the Hugo Award an award that focuses on science fiction literature? Why are there so many big men in the European and American science fiction film and television circles here?!]

As the time for the start of the awards party got closer and closer, the audience of netizens in the live broadcast room also increased, and soon exceeded the 30 million mark.

Many viewers also discovered that many European and American cultural celebrities who appeared at this Hugo Awards gala were from the European and American film and television circles.

There were more and more questions about this on the barrage in the live broadcast room, and the beautiful host had to throw the questions to Editor-in-Chief Wei again.

"It's normal that science fiction creators don't just make money by publishing novels.

The film and television copyright transaction of novels is also a very important part.

As the world's top science fiction literary award, the Hugo Award attracts not only science fiction creators, but also many investors, directors, and production supervisors in the European and American film and television circles.

Once nominated for the Hugo Award, the IP value of the novels of these science fiction writers will explode and rise.

A large number of investors, directors, and production supervisors from the European and American film and television circles gathered here, also for the film and television adaptation copyrights of these science fiction literary works.

Many popular sci-fi film and television dramas have been put on the screen in this way... As

a professional in the field of science fiction literature in Dragon Kingdom, Editor-in-Chief Wei is quite envious of the film and television IP adaptation process based on literary awards in Europe and the United States.

The professional film and television adaptation of science fiction literature can not only give writers a rich financial return, but also allow the influence of these science fiction literature works to spread more widely around the world.

In this way, a virtuous circle can be formed, and more and more wonderful science fiction literary works, science fiction film and television drama works, will be created in a steady stream.

。

Just when the editor-in-chief of the internal guard in the live broadcast room was still being introduced, in the live broadcast screen, Liu Lang and his party finally ushered in the active communication of others.

A group of yellow people, who are also Asian, came to talk.

"Audience friends, I received a response from the front-line staff, and it was Kusakawa Co., Ltd. from the country that took the initiative to contact our "The Wandering Earth" team.

They are a professional film and television drama IP investor who wants to acquire the film and television rights of "The Wandering Earth" in advance. The

tone of the beautiful host is very exciting, and someone in the "Wandering Earth" team is accosted and seeking copyright acquisition, which proves the commercial value of "The Wandering Earth".

"Nominate to come to buy the copyright, isn't this a clear place to pick up the cheap?

I guess the other party's acquisition amount must be very low, just want to cast a wide net to pick up a bargain.

Yu Dada, who hadn't spoken for a long time, swore solemnly.

In fact, as Yu Dada guessed, the offer of Caochuan Co., Ltd. was only 100,000 euros, which was categorically rejected by Dong Yanling and others.

Liu Lang and others never thought of selling the copyright of "The Wandering Earth", and the other party's offer was somewhat insulting.

You must know that the cost of their charter flight is far more than 100,000 euros.

Once the best short story nominated is successful, the copyright value will soar more than tenfold.

Just when the audience in the live broadcast room was driven to guess how much the copyright of the novel "The Wandering Earth" could be worth, the Hugo Awards party finally began.
