Volume 132 [Accidentally Won an Award]

As we said earlier, in the 1990s, Chinese universities ranked No. 1 in thesis subjects, and Fudan No. 2.

This ranking is not based on academic and educational level, but specifically refers to social influence. The liberal arts students at Peking University and Fudan University are extremely active, and they often come up with sensational events. In 1993, the "Lion City Debate Competition" was broadcast on national TV, pushing Fudan's name to a new height.

It's just an international college debate competition. After 20 years, it is estimated that there is no LPL league that has attracted attention.

But when countless viewers watched on TV that Fudan students fought against each other, defeated teams from famous international schools, and sprayed their opponents bloody in the finals, the meaning it represented directly rose to the national and national level. The national media reported frantically, and even the magazine "Women's Life" praised the debaters for how hard they studied and how hard they studied.

Those Fudan students who wear suits and talk freely, showing refreshing wisdom, sharpness, freshness and vigor, have become the epitome of college students in the new era of China, and have been evaluated by the media as "representing the future of China".

After the debate was broadcast on TV, not only did Fudan’s application rate increase, but two popular phrases were also derived among young intellectuals: Please don’t change concepts secretly! Please answer my question positively!

It was also from then on that various debate competitions began to appear in Chinese schools, and TV stations were also keen to hold debate competitions. A super debater can become a national star, and his influence is even enough to compete with some film and television stars, which is unimaginable for children in the new century.

Although entering the 1990s, poetry has declined, and Fudan has no banner poets. However, Han Bo, who has just stepped down as the president of the poetry club, is still a man of the school, and is also well-known throughout the country. This is the radiation effect brought by a famous school. As long as you can produce something in Fudan University, it will definitely attract attention inside and outside the school, and it can be transformed into practical use after graduation.

Han Bo, the former president of Fudan Poetry Club, was a handsome man with long hair. He not only wrote poetry, but also performed experimental dramas. His style was grim and humorous.

And with the two serializations of "Resident Evil", Song Weiyang and Nie Jun quickly entered the public eye. Like Han Bo, they also became influential figures in the school. Sheng Hai's science fiction magazine was directly reprinted without even saying hello.

So famous?

Still the same sentence: It's fucking amazing!

If we analyze carefully, we can know the reason for this "magic".

Yang Xin was able to bring Xifeng canned food into the European market through an exchange meeting between Chinese and foreign entrepreneurs, because there were too few channels for Chinese and foreign business exchanges at this time.

The "Lion City Debate Competition" made Fudan famous, made the debaters national stars, and made "stealth changing concepts" and "positive answers" become buzzwords, because it is difficult for Chinese college students at this time to show their demeanor internationally. Chance.

As for "Resident Evil" suddenly becoming popular in Fudan, and gradually spreading its influence outside the school, it is actually very simple.

Throughout the early and mid-1990s, the Chinese science fiction world was mainly filled with three types of works:

The first category: hardcore traditional science fiction.

The second category: political metaphors and political reflections, some of which throw away the sci-fi cloak, can actually be directly classified as scar literature.

The third category: historical mythology. At this time, Chinese science fiction authors like to incorporate historical and mythological elements into science fiction works, which makes people feel weird when reading.

Regardless of the above three categories, the author is keen to reason and guide readers to think about science, politics, history, culture, and human nature. And their common shortcoming is that the plot is dry, and the protagonist has almost no other emotions except great love, even if the love is written, it is very empty.

This has led to the fact that Chinese science fiction has always been very small, too hardcore, and seriously lacks entertainment.

And "Resident Evil" just filled this gap. It is unique, has both science fiction and entertainment properties, and makes readers who don't like science fiction very happy.

Guo Tao, the president of the Fudan Science Fiction Society, complied with public opinion. Although it is still a monthly magazine, the serial content of the third issue of "Resident Evil" has directly doubled. At the same time, he also sought the opinions of Song Weiyang and Nie Jun, and sent "Resident Evil" to "Science Fiction World" magazine.

"Science Fiction World" had already confirmed the publication content, and immediately vacated the page to include "Resident Evil" after receiving the manuscript.

Once serialized, it directly caused a sensation in the Chinese science fiction circle.

Although many authors think that "Resident Evil" has no connotation, but readers can't help but like it!

"Science Fiction World" magazine received hundreds of letters from readers within half a month, all discussing "Resident Evil", which made the editor-in-chief Yang Xiao ecstatic.

It is true that science fiction literature belongs to stepmothers in China, and Fudan students who win the championship in the international debate competition can cause a sensation all over the country, and are endowed with lofty patriotic significance. However, "Science Fiction World" hosted the "World Science Fiction Association Annual Conference" three years ago, and was rated as the most grand and successful annual conference by sf since its establishment. Such a glorious event did not cause any splashes in China.

Is it because the sci-fi audience is too narrow? It just so happens that "Resident Evil" can attract ordinary readers into the pit!

"Song Weiyang, Nie Jun, with your letter, you have been shortlisted for the Galaxy Award!"

Guo Tao, the president of the Science Fiction Society, rushed in. He is a senior in the third year and does not live in this dormitory building. This time he came here to announce the good news.

Behind Guo Tao, there were more than a dozen members of the Science Fiction Club, all of whom were extremely excited.

"What is the Galaxy Award?" Nie Jun didn't respond.

Guo Tao said: "The highest award in Chinese science fiction literature is exclusively hosted by "Science Fiction World" magazine."

Another member of the science fiction club laughed: "You are the only Fudan students who have been shortlisted for the Galaxy Award since the establishment of the Galaxy Award. You are too embarrassing to our school!"

Guo Tao said: "The time to receive the award is at the beginning of next month."

"No time." Nie Jun said.

"Not interested." Song Weiyang continued to read "Socially Constructed Reality" while lying on the bed.

A group of sci-fi fans excitedly came to announce the good news, and they were stunned. It was the Galaxy Award, and they couldn't get it even if they wanted it. These two have no interest in it.

Geniuses are really different from ordinary people!

"You must go to receive the award, and you have to give the organizer a face," Guo Tao could only persuade patiently, "Song Weiyang, isn't your hometown in Xikang Province? The place where the award is presented is Rongcheng, so you should just go back to your hometown. Brother, you It's my brother, when I beg you!"

Song Weiyang said: "How about this, President Guo, you go to accept the award on our behalf, and then put the award certificate in the Science Fiction Association. Next year, you can use this to attract new students."

"Is it really possible to put the award certificate in the association?" Guo Tao said happily, "Then I will go to receive the award!"

"Well, you can do whatever you want." Song Weiyang said.

Guo Tao said happily: "I'm going to apply for the right to use Xianghuitang right away, and hold a 'Resident Evil' Award Celebration and Science Fiction Literature Exchange Meeting', so that all teachers and students in the school can understand and love science fiction! You know, our Science Fiction Association has won the highest honor in China's science fiction world! At that time, the two juniors will come to participate."

"Drip, drop, drop!"

Song Weiyang's big man was suddenly ringing non-stop. He took a look and jumped out of bed immediately: "We'll talk about it when the time comes. I'm going to call back."

The message on the pager screen read: CCTV auction bidder, do you want to participate?
