Upon hearing this, a proud smile instantly appeared on Tang Banyeng's face. As for Nikki, she stared at Chen Xue in disbelief.
”Professor Chen, you … Is that true? ”
Chen Xue pretended to be angry as she glanced at him, ”What?” Girl, do you think this old man is lying? ”I'm already this old, is there a need for me to lie and make you happy?”
”No, I... I just can't believe that Professor Chen would give me such a high evaluation, I … ” At this moment, he was so happy that he almost couldn't find the north.
The story goes on and on, making the reader feel like she couldn't stop. And I think what's rare is that the amount of brain holes in your story is enough for other authors to write more than ten books, and only you, silly girl, don't know how to account and throw so many brain holes into one book like you don't have any money. But because of this, although the story is long, it doesn't make the reader feel tired at all.
”Then according to Grandma Chen, if this piece of work were to be adapted into a movie, would it cause a sensation in the society?”
Instead, she muttered to herself for a long time before saying, ”Rather than investing in a movie and burying this movie in some crappy and terrible work like this novel, why not let this novel be acknowledged by the world first? The first part of this novel should have already been published, right? I suggest that you have this girl translate the end of the first part into English and send it to the United States for the Hugo Prize! ”
”Participate in the Hugo Prize selection?!” The Hugo Prize is known as the Nobel Prize in science fiction. Professor Chen, are you joking? My novel is still lacking in writing, how can it... ”
”Warmth, have you ever heard a phrase like this? These words are called 'one can reach the heart'. Do you think there's anything in your novel that you can't express clearly? The most important part of the novel is not the writing, but the structure of the story, the philosophy behind it, and whether or not this story can attract the reader, and your novel has achieved all three points, so what else do you have to worry about! ”
”But, that's the Hugo Prize, Professor Chen. I really don't have confidence in an award with such a high value.”
”It doesn't matter if you don't have confidence, since you never even thought about it before, right? You just need to follow your original plan and change the last part of this hasty ending. The rest of the things are not what your author should care about, so if you win the award, just treat it as an unexpected surprise. If you don't win, just treat it as a natural result, right? ”
”Even though you say that, but …” He would definitely have something to look forward to after sending it!
In the end, he was still unable to say the second half of the sentence.
”Don't worry, this isn't something that can be accomplished just because Grandma Chen said it would, and it will take time to find someone to translate it, so it's not certain that you'll be able to make it in time for the Hugo Prize. Anyway, whether or not you send it to the competition, the ending has to be changed, so when you go back, you just need to change the ending. As for me, just report Grandma Chen's suggestion to the company. If the company agrees to this decision, then I'll inform you.”
