Chapter 67: To send or not to send?
Soon after, a member of staff came and took the drunken John out.
Then, the deputy editor-in-chief of the New York Times came to apologize to Wang Gradually.
As for whether it is because of Wang gradually himself, or Stephen King beside him, it is a matter of opinion.
However, at this time, Wang gradually had no time to take care of these.
Because, he was chatting with Stephen King about what he needed to pay attention to in literary creation.
Think about it a few days ago, I just watched "The Shawshank Redemption" several times.
Now, I can exchange creative ideas with the original author.
No matter what, Wang gradually felt a hint of unreality.
I don't know if it's because of this mentality, or because I read "Extreme Heavenly Demon" in my head just now.
When Stephen King tells the story, his next story is mainly set in prison.
In Wang Yan's mind, the picture of "The Shawshank Redemption" and "Extreme Heavenly Demon" always comes to mind.
Presumably, the protagonist is bullied by the prison guards, and then transforms into a three-meter giant and kills these villains with one punch.
And the classic scene of Shawshank kneeling in the rain has also turned into a giant man with an evil smile and said loudly: "I'm just a prisoner!"
This picture is really weird.
And Lynn, who was beside him, looked at Stephen King, and then at the young Wang.
Then, sit quietly, not daring to make a sound.
It wasn't until an hour later, when the dinner ended.
The conversation between Stephen King and Wang gradually came to an end.
It's just that, before leaving, he took out a copy of the first volume of the Arcane Throne and said with a smile: "My daughter is your big fan of books. ”
"She asked me to ask for an autograph if I could meet you at the dinner. ”
Wang gradually took the novel a little embarrassed, signed his name, and said: "I thought you were joking, it turns out that you have really watched "Arcane Throne"?"
"Of course, I've also watched 'I'm Really an Archmage'. Stephen King took the novel with a smile, "There are a lot of interesting works on your website, but it's too cumbersome to pay." ”
All right...
Stephen King, who is known as the most likely contemporary master, actually reads Xiaobaiwen.
Who will believe this?
After saying goodbye to the other party, Wang gradually took the reluctant Lynn and got into the car.
And inside the car, the silence is a little weird.
Lynn just straightened out her hair, her clothes, her heels.
Wang gradually turned his head to look at the red-haired woman and asked, "Your apartment is near Lily's neighborhood, right?"
Lynn didn't speak, just looked at Wang gradually fixedly.
Suddenly, she said excitedly: "Even Stephen King has read your works, will you become the central figure of high society like him?"
Wang gradually started the car speechlessly, too lazy to pay attention to the woman who had fallen into a state of madness.
It's just that he secretly thought in his heart: "How can you earn more by sharing royalties to others." ”
Just as they were about to arrive in Brooklyn, a police car suddenly appeared.
The police car honked its horn to signal Wang to pull over.
Then, two police officers got out of the police car.
When they saw a yellow man and a white man in the car, they were obviously relieved and removed their hands from their waists.
Then, one of the policemen said, "Routine check, take out your driver's license." ”
After some checking, the police handed the driving book back to Wang.
"Why are you going to Brooklyn so late?
As a result, before Wang gradually could explain, Lynn said, "We're going to the New York Times dinner." ”
After that, he also showed the invitation to the police.
Wang glanced at Lynn and then at the police.
The policeman took the invitation, read it carefully, and asked, "Best-selling authors, why don't you live in Long Island and Manhattan?"
Then, without waiting for Wang to answer, the policeman beckoned to his companion.
After the two of them muttered for a while, he said to Wang Yan again: "Let's escort you for a while, after all, you have donated a lot of money to the police station." ”
Wang gradually remembered that a few days ago, when a community worker came to the door, he donated a 100-yuan bill because he had no change.
I can't help but sigh in my heart, donating money still has this effect.
In this way, the two were escorted by the police to Wang Jian's apartment.
When he opened the door to the apartment, Lynne walked inside.
"Seriously, Wang, you shouldn't live in Brooklyn anymore, as you are. Lynn went to the refrigerator to get juice, sat on the sofa, and said to Wang Yan.
"Don't mess with my stuff. ”
Wang gradually remembered that in the car, the woman had handed the invitation to the police without his permission, so he reprimanded.
Then, he took off his suit and went into the bathroom to take a shower.
Unexpectedly, a few minutes later, Lynn also pushed open the bathroom door and walked in.
Her eyes seemed to be dripping with water, and she looked at Wang Yan.
said: "I'm moving your things again, I put the invitation here, what do you say?"
After that, she deliberately raised her head.
Wang gradually wrapped himself in a bath towel, walked over to Lynn, and pulled out the invitation card directly.
Unexpectedly, Lynn took out a small wooden board from behind her back and handed it over, "I made a mistake, you punish me." ”
Wang gradually looked at the small plank and saw that it was actually a shovel in the kitchen.
Lynn saw the other man take the plank, and turned to face the bathroom door.
Wang gradually looked at the plank in his hand, and then at Lynn, who had his back to him, and couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
A moment later, a moan came from the bathroom.
......
Early the next morning.
After watching Lynn slowly walk out of the apartment building, Wang gradually couldn't help but wonder if he was too ruthless last night.
But the ringing of the phone in the apartment interrupted his pity.
Wang gradually took the phone, only to hear Tom's excited voice.
"I started reading a novel for a fee last night, and the number of people who have paid has now exceeded 1,000. ”
"Its author is the author of "I Am Really an Archmage" that you mentioned to be noted, James. ”
Oh?
So, it seems that this James is indeed very talented.
Wang gradually said: "Prepare the data report, I will go to the company immediately." ”
He hesitated, thinking about what had happened last night.
So, he said: "The New York Times may also set foot in the field of publishing, you go and inquire about the relevant news." ”
"Okay. Tom replied.
Wang gradually walked back to the table and ate a sandwich casually.
By the way, I'm thinking about whether it will frighten others if I release "Extreme Heavenly Demon" on the Internet now.
Belch...
Let's talk about it depending on the situation.
ps: I wish you all a happy Dragon Boat Festival.
I've been busy lately and I'm struggling to write.
All in all, thank you all for your support.
Thanks!
