Chapter 213: "Anomaly" in the Eyes of Writers

New Hran, inside a villa near Yale University.

Joseph Heller, a leading figure in American literature, is being promoted by the "King of Bestsellers" Stephen?? Kim and 1993 Nobel Prize in Literature winner Tony?? Morrison accompanied, chatting on the couch.

"Mr. Heller, "Observations of Anomalous Creatures" is a work that blends fantasy, science fiction, and humor. "Stephen?? Jin groaned, but still reminded, "Compared to the others, there are many differences. ”

"Huh," Joseph?? Heller put on her reading glasses and smiled softly, "Don't worry, Steve." I don't have any prejudices against fantasy. ”

"As for humorous works," he said, taking a sip on his coffee, "I have been invited to give my opinion through various means." ”

"Although most of them were not successful. The old man paused, then continued: "But I've seen too much when it comes to creativity. ”

But "Abnormal Creature Observations" is really very different.

Stephen?? Kim was about to speak, and continued to remind him.

After all, "Anomaly" is a bit too absurd for orthodoxy.

And Joseph?? Mr. Heller is 73 years old this year.

But at this time, a middle-aged man dressed in a housekeeper's costume walked into the living room.

"Mr. Heller, the time has come. ”

"Hmm. "Joseph?? Heller nodded and made a "please" gesture.

The middle-aged man picked up the remote control and turned on the TV.

Stephen?? Seeing this, Jin could only keep his mouth shut.

He began to recall the original book of "Anomaly" in his mind so that he could compare it with the TV series.

And Joseph?? Heller, too, stared at the screen seriously.

At the same time, in his mind, he began to classify the "Abnormal Creature Observations" into the genres he had read.

The noble vampire becomes poor and sour, and the all-knowing and all-powerful god is a psychopath...

Use anti-routine characters to cause laughter.

This kind of writing is basically a mutation from "Good Soldiers and Handsome Guests".

He watched TV and couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, "Alas, if you watch too many works, you will lose the pleasure of reading." ”

"In many works, just by looking at the beginning, you can roughly guess the subsequent plot development. ”

However, as the president of the Writers' Guild, Heller decided to finish reading "Observations of Anomalous Creatures".

Although in recent years, he has been unable to read because of cervical spine problems.

But considering that I have already signed my name on the announcement, no matter what, I have to understand what this so-called daily life of "Anomaly" is.

He watched carefully as he sipped his coffee.

Soon other characters in the play also appeared.

A kind and orderly demon, a cold-blooded and ruthless exorcist.

The old man thought about these characters, the classic images in other film and television dramas, and nodded slightly.

Really... Everything was as I guessed.

But the next scene, let Joseph?? Heller's eyes widened.

That fierce-looking demon actually used the most ordinary soy sauce to draw a mysterious magic array?

All right...

Those Satan worshippers who exist in the American folk must have a great dislike for this episode.

The old writer smiled at Stephen?? Jin said: "This kind of anti-routine has been played to the extreme by Wang. ”

"No, not yet. "Stephen?? Kim pointed to the TV and whispered.

Joseph?? Heller looked at the TV screen suspiciously, and saw that the cute-looking werewolf was eating tacos like crazy.

Then, it's like, "Ahhhh Woof. ”

"Is this a werewolf?" The old writer looked at the cute image on TV and whispered to himself: "Use the contrast of appearance to further create laughter?"

"But, isn't it a bit of a repetition with the devil?"

is as confused as him, as well as the male and female protagonists in the play.

"How do I think she's not like a werewolf, but... What about huskies?" the heroine whispered.

"Uh..."Joseph?? Keller froze for a moment, then laughed.

Use double negation to add to the laugh. ”

"Well, this king, he still has a lot of ideas. ”

At this time, his attention was completely devoted to the TV series.

Even in the "Anomalous Creature Observations", it no longer matters what type it is.

"Why did the protagonist run away to another world again?" the old writer asked suspiciously: "With so many plots unfolding, how many words is he going to write?"

"Uh..."Stephen?? King paused for a moment and replied slowly, "Now for "Anomaly", Wang has written 4 million words. ”

"And, for the time being, there is no end in sight. ”

"What?" the president of the Writers' Guild is really not calm this time.

"This king, reallyβ€”" He thought for a moment, not knowing what to say.

I started writing in my 20s, and now I have only written 7 million words.

While he is amazed, the protagonist has completed his second expedition to another world.

And a character with less obvious characteristics, the Kraken also appears.

"4 million words, how many characters do you need to write. "Joseph?? Heller predicts in his mind how many new characters will appear in the future.

didn't expect that "Anomaly" no longer expanded the characters, but began to expand the plot.

"I'll give you a mission to pick up a new tenant in outer space. ”

"Outer space?" the protagonist surprises with the old writer.

Stephen?? Kim almost laughed out loud as he looked at the old writer's expression.

Noticing the demeanor of the two later writers, Joseph?? Heller quickly sat back down.

"This is "The Good Soldier and the Handsome Guest", into Tolkien, Jules?? Verne's fantasy, sci-fi space?"

"That's the way it's writtenβ€”" The elder sipped his coffee.

After a moment, he smiled at Stephen?? Kim said, "I felt the need to ask someone to read it to me." ”

"I just want to see if Wang can finish such a messy plot. ”

"Uh, Mr. Keller. "Tony?? Morrison hesitated, but still spoke, "Our purpose is to see the influence of Wang on ABC. ”

And this kind of impact is easiest to see from the production cost. ”

"Oh. The old writer took a sip of coffee and hid the embarrassment on his face.

After a moment, he pointed to the space station on the TV screen.

"I think we should already have the answer. ”

Stephen?? Kim and Tony?? Morrison looked at the textured space station on the TV and nodded in agreement.

Sure enough, billionaires are the most deterrent to producers. "Tony?? Morrison said with a smile.

So, "Stephen?? Kim shrugged, "I suggest you guys publish your work on it as well." ”

"Starting tomorrow, I will call for more people to enter the site. ”
