In fact, I can't complain that Lynn is excited.

The main thing is this party, which is indeed a bit too high-end.

Not to mention most of this year's best-selling authors, even a lot of best-selling authors from previous years have come.

Even, Wang gradually saw several Nobel Prize winners in literature.

Of course, for well-known reasons, the Nobel Prize in Literature is more inclined towards Western literature.

Therefore, there are a few Western writers who have won this award.

But that's enough to show how seriously the New York Times takes this gathering.

Wang gradually raised his wine glass, and like everyone else, began to mingle.

"By the way, which work do you think will win the Pulitzer Prize this year?" discussed some writers of realist themes.

One of the young writers also looked up at Wang Yan.

"Huh. Wang gradually turned around and exited the group chat.

Then, he came to another group of people.

"Hugo Award", "Goncourt Award", "Manbuck Award"...

Well, fictional novels, in this era, are indeed niche.

Not to mention, fantasy literature as its offshoot.

At this moment, Wang gradually knew why George Martin, Robert Jordan and others didn't come to the dinner.

Fortunately, the deputy editor-in-chief of the New York Times rang his glass in time to remind everyone that he was about to speak.

"Today, we have invited many famous authors. Your words have touched tens of thousands of readers. ”

The deputy editor-in-chief paused, waiting for the applause of the crowd to finish.

Then, he continued, "And we want to take this opportunity to announce that there is a great writer who is going to work with The New York Times."

His new novel, "The Miracle of the Green Mile," will be serialized in the newspaper. ”

"Now, the contemporary master of horror and suspense, Stephen King!"

The writers at the scene were quiet for a while, and then immediately applauded.

And Wang Gradually, his heart moved slightly.

There are industry giants again, are you ready to test the waters in the publishing field?

The New York Times prepared a grand appearance ceremony for Stephen King.

The lights at the dinner room first dimmed.

Then, the curtain was lifted on the rostrum, and a large electronic screen appeared in front of everyone.

Photographs of Stephen King as a young man, along with his contemporaneous works, are presented on the big screen.

Then, the screen turns, and the title of the film adapted from his work begins to appear.

"Walking with You", "Carrie the Witch", "The Shining", "The Shawshank Redemption"...

Immediately, the screen began to play horror scenes from these movies.

Wang gradually applauded with the crowd, and at the same time sighed in his heart: Stephen King is worthy of being a well-known master of horror, and this terrifying atmosphere is fantastic.

And Lynn, who was beside her, exclaimed even quietly: "Stephen King!"

Then, a middle-aged white man, led by the staff, walked up to the microphone and prepared to speak.

At this point, it was as if the chain of contempt in the writer had been broken.

These realistic, classical, and popular science writers also turned into fans and began to flock to the rostrum.

"Aren't you going?" Lynn looked at Wang gradually who didn't move with a little curiosity.

He shook his head and motioned for Lynne to take her own seat.

It's not that Wang gradually pretends to be high and pretends to be reserved.

Instead, while watching the horror scene he had just been in, the third book in his mind suddenly appeared in its entirety.

After Lynn also walked near the podium.

Wang gradually prayed in his heart, this book, don't be so difficult to change.

While keeping your eyes in your head, you can take a closer look at the work.

I saw the name of the novel, with white Chinese characters appearing on the cover of the book in dark tones.

Unexpectedly, there is a strange beauty.

"Extreme Heavenly Demon"?

Fantasy, not fantasy?

That's a bit tricky.

Wang gradually continued to concentrate his attention on the work, roughly browsing the content of the novel.

Belch...

Goldfinger is actually an attribute bar?

The protagonist also started by practicing martial arts?

How can this be translated from Chinese to English!

Just when Wang gradually had a headache, the applause in the venue woke him up.

Stephen King has finished speaking.

He forced himself to turn his attention back.

I saw that the writers present all had a fruitful expression on their faces.

As for whether it's true or not, I don't know it.

Wang gradually thought that today's gathering was basically over.

It's time for everyone to eat casually and talk for a while before leaving.

Suddenly, a middle-aged white man covered in alcohol walked straight towards him.

"You are the author of the Arcane Throne, King?" the man asked.

"Yes. Wang gradually looked at the other party suspiciously, a little confused about the purpose of this person.

"The creativity and structure of Arcane Throne are wonderful, but it's always an illusory story. The other party continued, "You should put your creative energy into realistic themes." ”

Wang gradually looked at the other party with a confused expression.

This man...

Where did it come from?

I saw that the other party took out a business card, handed it over and said, "I'm a reporter for the New York Times, John." ”

"A word of advice, young man. ”

"You have to put your talent in the right place. ”

Since this John is loud enough.

The writers around them all turned their heads to look.

A few of them, who usually follow the news, began to tell the story between the New York Times and the Arcane Throne to those around them.

"This John, the same John who publicly apologized for the false report?"

"Yes. Someone responded.

However, since most of the people present were writers with realistic themes.

They themselves despise the fantasies of fantasy literature.

In addition, in the first half of this year, fantasy literature was hot.

These people naturally choose to be on the sidelines.

John saw so many people watching.

Its voice was raised an octave higher.

As if, in this way, you can vent your resentment about being demoted.

"No one else has a special function, only the protagonist has a special function, isn't this nonsense?"

Wang gradually looked at this John with the expression of the second fool.

Then he coughed lightly, ready to tell the other party that "One Hundred Years of Solitude" can be regarded as a fantasy novel strictly speaking.

But before the king could open his mouth, he heard a deep voice from behind him.

"Actually, my next novel, "The Miracle of the Green Mile", also contains fantasy elements. ”

I saw Stephen King slowly walking out of the crowd and looking at John.

"Among them, an important supporting role can transfer the pain of others. ”

"Does this count, nonsense?"

"Oh, probably a lot worse than a reporter who published an article without investigation. ”

After all, the well-known writer didn't look at that John either.

He turned around and stretched out his hand and shook hands with Wang Yan, "Your "Arcane Throne" is very exciting, and our whole family likes it very much. ”
