Chapter 536 The Chain Reaction of Winning the Prize
"What were you talking about with the bookstore owner just now? He looked surprised?"

After leaving the bookstore, Shang Yan'er asked, a little curious about what Jiang Yuan was chatting with the owner in the bookstore just now.

"Oh, I told him that I am very familiar with the author, so he was surprised." Jiang Yuan blinked.

But I also reviewed the events in the store in my mind.

After the shop owner said that it was possible that the person he passed by in the bookstore was Omega, Jiang Yuan directly revealed his identity.

What Jiang Yuan didn't expect was that although the old shop owner was a little shocked, he really believed Jiang Yuan's statement.

He also asked Jiang Yuan to sign the title page of the book "No Survival" that he had opened for reading, and even offered to help Jiang Yuan keep the information about his identity.

Although he is not 100% sure that the other party really believes in him, and it is possible that the shop owner just thinks it would be more interesting, Jiang Yuan is still looking forward to the day when he really loses his vest, and how the shop owner will react. .

"That's it." Shang Yan'er also didn't doubt him and thought it was a very reasonable statement.

A quick walk to the restaurant for dining.

Maybe it was because I had used up so much energy, so I felt that the food, which was supposed to be average, was okay.

After the meal, Jiang Yuan and others went straight back to the dormitory and spent a pretty good day.

After returning to his room, Jiang Yuan also took out his tablet, opened the memo, and started writing and drawing on it.

Thanks to the script of "Your Name", Jiang Yuan has mastered some simple drawing skills.

While memorizing the diary, I was also trying to think of whether I could shoot some simple visual short films for the upcoming road show songs.

After drawing for a while, Jiang Yuan got distracted and started to check the live broadcast of the Colin Award on the Internet.

As one of the more important award ceremonies, the Collin Awards are broadcast in real time on the Internet.

Jiang Yuan followed the official account of the award and clicked on the live broadcast link.

It has to be said that the time when Jiang Yuan remembered the Collin Award was quite coincidental. The award ceremony was almost at its last moment.

The most important prize is also announced at this time.

While Jiang Yuan was following the live broadcast, he curiously opened the system panel and took a look, confirming the reminder that he had not won any awards before.

In other words, Jiang Yuan has not won any of the awards before this one.

But to a certain extent, this can be considered a good thing, which means that Jiang Yuan has a greater chance of winning this award.

The nominations for this award will be announced on site.

Since the shortlisted works were published last year, "Oriental Train" is not included in this list. The nominee was "Roger Mystery".

As the covers of each shortlisted book appeared on the big screen one after another, the music played on the scene became correspondingly tense.

The cover of each book has been specially treated with gold edges, which makes it look more textured.

An award-winning guest who looked a bit older stood on the stage and began to prepare to announce the award.

At this time, the camera swept across the candidates, and Jiang Yuan also saw Yang Chao among them, looking quite calm.

But what Jiang Yuan didn't know was that Yang Chao was at the scene and his back was soaked with sweat.

After all, apart from the Chinese Mystery Novel Association Award, this is the largest award that Yang Chaoda has ever received.

Moreover, I flew thousands of miles to attend the award ceremony, so I still had relatively high expectations.

"Works that won this year's Colin Prize"

After a brief pause, the presenting guest began to read the award speech for the work.

"The emergence of it has changed the writing style of existing mystery works with subversive tricks, and many imitation works have sprung up in a year."

"Meticulous logic, surprising reversals, fascinating historical background, and vivid mustache detective."

The award speech, which is full of words of praise, already contains a lot of information.

After everyone conducted a simple check-in, the final answer was actually ready to come out.

When the camera panned again, Yang Chao also changed his previous calm expression, and began to show an excited look on his face.

"Gentlemen and ladies, at this last moment, I would like to solemnly announce that the final winner of this year's Colin Award is "Roger Mystery"!"

After the award speech, the award-giving guest announced loudly.

At the same time, only the cover of the book "Roger Mystery" was left on the big screen on the stage, and Omega's name was printed on the side, making it look shiny.

"It's just that our mysterious Omega still didn't show up at the award ceremony, so we asked his editor CHAO~YANG~ to come on stage to accept the award on his behalf!"

Then Yang Chao was invited, but the name was pronounced somewhat melodiously.

At the Colin Award ceremony, Yang Chao stood up excitedly after hearing his name, straightened his dress, shook hands with the people next to him, and finally walked towards the stage.

At the same time, Jiang Yuan also received a reminder from the system.

The achievement value for winning the award should have been received, but Jiang Yuan did not check it immediately. Instead, he watched with interest, waiting for Yang Chao to give his acceptance speech.

Amid warm applause, Yang Chao walked to the podium, took the trophy, and then took out a folded letter from his jacket pocket.

"I am very happy and honored to be able to represent Omega at the awards ceremony to receive this major award."

"Although Omega was not able to come to the scene today, he asked me to give you a short acceptance speech, and I will read it to you."

The whole place was quiet except for Yang Chao's voice. When Omega also prepared an acceptance speech, there were some shouts, and then it became quiet again.

Jiang Yuan then remembered that when he was replying to Yang Chao's message, the other party asked him to write a few words about how he would feel if he really won the award.

What Yang Chao is going to read now is obviously that paragraph.

"For winning the Colin Award, I would like to thank the organizers and thank you for the excellent work "Roger Mystery"."

"At the same time, everyone is welcome to buy and read the new work "No Survival" which will be launched at the same time today."

Jiang Yuan thought that Yang Chao would polish it up for him, so he wrote it hastily.

Unexpectedly, Yang Chao hastily copied his original words.

However, these are indeed Jiang Yuan's true thoughts. I would like to thank the organizer for winning the award. At the same time, Grandma's "Roger's Mystery" is also really good.

By the way, I was thinking of advertising the new book.

There is nothing wrong with Yang Chao's direct retelling, which means he succeeded in achieving this goal.

"Okay, it's over." Yang Chao folded the letter. After listening to this brief acceptance speech, he felt that it fit Omega's character, and everyone laughed kindly.

"Finally, what I want to say is that "No One Survived" is definitely worth reading and highly recommended."

"Also, there is another big news to announce to everyone. By this time next year, maybe Omega himself will appear at the award ceremony."

Yang Chao also concluded his acceptance speech very briefly.

The core of the theme - advertising, and by the way, a brief preview of Jiang Yuan's revelation.

After the presentation, Yang Chao walked off the stage with the trophy, and the award ceremony officially came to an end.

The award-winning "Roger Mystery" and Yang Chao's acceptance speech also successfully aroused a certain amount of heated discussion on the Internet.

[Omega is indeed as mysterious as ever! 】【Deserved! 】

[Although the acceptance speech was advertised many times, I do have to say that Omega’s new book is as OMG as ever! 】

【What's the meaning?Has Omega decided to stop being mysterious? 】

[I am really curious about this mysterious guy, but I still hope to maintain the current frequency and release more works! 】

Foreign readers seemed to be very supportive of the barrage.

In the domestic mystery novel forum, there is also a corresponding live text broadcast of the Colin Award ceremony.

【Won a prize! ! 】

【congratulations! ! 】

[Won the first finalist award! 】

[It’s so funny that the main theme of the album and Yang Chao’s acceptance speech is an advertisement! 】

[But "No Survival" is really top-notch! 】

[What does the editor mean by this?Are you really ready to receive the award yourself? 】

[Good guy, I want to see if he is as handsome as Jiang Yuan then. 】

[It must be a rumor that he is as handsome as Jiang Yuan. It seems that he is a good friend. I seriously suspect that it is false news spread by the album himself! 】

[Suddenly I had a bold guess! 】

-

Users in the forum also discussed Jiang Yuan's award very enthusiastically, and the posts continued to be hotly debated.

At the end of the Colin Award ceremony, Jiang Yuan also quit the live broadcast.

Not long after he quit, Jiang Yuan was bombarded with messages from Yang Chao.

Apparently, he started sending messages to Jiang Yuan as soon as he stepped off the stage.

"Won a prize! This prize!!"

"The words "Shortlisted" on the girdle can really be deleted! I will change the girdle now!"

"I also helped with your acceptance speech."

Yang Chao obviously became excited after receiving the award, and bombarded Jiang Yuan with many messages.

Jiang Yuan had to reply and interrupt, saying that he had watched the award-winning live broadcast and understood the whole process.

Then Yang Chao showed Jiang Yuan the Colin Award trophy.

The trophy design of the Colin Award is actually quite interesting, it is directly in the shape of a book.

It was said that a simple cover design would be specially designed in the future and then engraved on the trophy.

What Yang Chao got was just a sample, and the official trophy will be sent to Jiang Yuan after it is made.

So Jiang Yuan had to wait until he could actually feel the texture of the trophy.

“This is version 2.0 of the girdle [picture]”

Yang Chao sent another message to Jiang Yuan very efficiently.

Jiang Yuan was stunned. He didn't expect the girdle to be updated so quickly.

When I clicked it open, I was a little bit amused by the design of version 2.0.

It can be said to be very crude. I just crossed out the words "shortlisted" and added the words "winner". It looks like hand-made graffiti.

"There are still a few shortlisted words, which can be updated after these award ceremonies are held later."

"When we receive the Golden Dagger Award, we can consider launching a new version or something like that."

Yang Chao shared his thoughts.

After reading it, Jiang Yuan had to admit that Yang Chao did know how to make money.

After closing the chat box, Jiang Yuan thought about opening the system panel to receive the message he had just received.

[Congratulations on achieving the achievement of "Winning the Colin Award" for the first time, obtaining an achievement value of 50000 points, and receiving a gold treasure chest*1]

The achievement value rewards are roughly in line with Jiang Yuan's default, which is considered unsatisfactory.

What is more surprising is another achievement mission that is unlocked after winning the Colin Award.

[Winning the Colin Award and unlocking the [Mystery Grand Slam] achievement mission
Mystery Grand Slam: Complete the task by winning five major mystery novel awards at the same time
Current progress: (2/5)

Mission reward: Great Writer’s main mission progress +15]

Following the first main line, Jiang Yuan once again saw the possibility of significantly advancing another main line.

After carefully checking the five major awards for mystery novels, it was said that it was the top five, but it was actually much easier than Jiang Yuan imagined.

In fact, it is a bit like a 4+1 model, in which only the Golden Dagger Award is a required designated item, and the other four awards only need to be authoritatively certified category awards.

So the Collin Award and the Mystery Fiction Association Award are both included.

Jiang Yuan roughly calculated that if he was lucky enough, he would probably be able to successfully complete this task within the year.

Coupled with the other previous task of [Palace Records], Jiang Yuan felt as if the progress bar could quickly press a fast forward button.

For a time, my mood became excited at night, making it difficult to fall asleep.

In the end, I simply continued to write, draw, and design the visual short film for the road show song with my tablet, and didn't fall asleep until relatively late.

Although he slept late the night before, Jiang Yuan got up quite early the next day because he had an appointment to rehearse a road show.

After learning about the information I missed when I fell asleep, the sound source of "RISE" continues to dominate the charts, and the number of views of the MV has easily exceeded [-] million, occupying the hot list, and the number of views continues to soar.

After winning the Colin Award, Omega's reputation has increased a lot again.

Recognition from mainstream awards does have a gilding effect.

So much so that the advertisement for "No Survival" published by Yang Chao during his acceptance speech also had a very good effect.

That night, the order volume of "No Survival" on the Internet increased a lot, and it directly reached the No. 1 best-selling position among new books.

The effect of winning the award was quite strong, and Jiang Yuan couldn't help but look forward to what it would be like if he really won the Golden Dagger Award.

After breakfast, Jiang Yuan took the lead in rehearsing with Haruka Arimura, and spent the afternoon and evening with Shang Yan'er.

Although they are all already recorded tracks, there are still some changes for the live road show, so it took a little time to rehearse.

After the rehearsal, Jiang Yuan also explained the idea of ​​shooting a visual video to the two of them respectively, and successfully gained their support.

Two days passed by in a flash, and it was the roadshow day that everyone had decided together.
