On the way to Random House's Los Angeles branch, Lester looks at Hollywood, which is beautiful and bustling, but before anyone knows it, it is heading for a declining Hollywood.

It has to be said that although the Summer Olympics will be held in 1984 next year, the current nominal mayor of Hollywood has not yet noticed that the crime rate around Hollywood is rising.

While there are still a few post-production factories, film tech support companies, and a few big record labels still located in Hollywood, only Paramount remains in Hollywood among the major studios that laid the foundation for Hollywood's glory in the past. The vast majority of the film industry's wealthiest and most successful creatives left Hollywood decades ago. From the forties and fifties, Hollywood gradually declined, from a picturesque residential, creative and tourist Mecca to a bustling, low-class, sinful downtown filled with vulgar tourist souvenir shops, drug dealers, beggars, homeless people and **, and by the end of the eighties the decadence reached its bottom.

Even in the early 90s, two major events happened in Los Angeles that brought a great shock to Hollywood.

It was not until the end of the 90s that a new round of prosperity in Hollywood began to revive again, although in the 21st century it has become a global film and television kingdom, but the film and television industry on the other side of the ocean is also bending to catch up with Hollywood.

Leicester had to sigh at the glamorous Hollywood of his previous life.

In addition to major film giants, special effects studios, and studios, other publishing houses such as Random House, well-known technology companies, fashion companies, etc., will set up branches in Hollywood.

The current Random House has not yet been acquired by the German giant Bertelsmann and has become the world's largest publishing group, as it was in its previous life.

But it should not be underestimated, although Random House is not the largest publishing group now, it is also one of the most eye-catching publishing companies.

Lester thought about it and decided to submit The Twilight Series to Random House.

The reason why the "Twilight series" was chosen is because in the previous life, it was considered to be one of the international magic masterpieces along with "The Lord of the Rings Trilogy", "Harry Potter series" and "The Chronicles of Narnia", and it is also the fastest book that is most easily loved by the audience.

"Hello, what's the matter?

Walking into Random House, Lester was questioned by the security guards before he could look around.

"I'm here to contribute. ”

Lester raised his hand and shook the black bag containing the manuscript of Twilight: Twilight;

Please go through the procedures there.

The security guard looked at it, raised his hand and pointed to the reception desk at the front desk and said;

Thank you!

Lester thanked the security guard, looked around the spacious surroundings, and walked towards the front desk.

The young lady at the reception looked at the young Lester walking towards him with a smile, and did not show surprise because of Lester's youth, and said with a smile: "Welcome, do you have anything to do?"

"I'm here to contribute. ”

Lester said with a smile;

Do you have an appointment?

The young lady at the reception asked programmatically;

"Nope. ”

Lester shrugged, he also wanted someone to help him make an appointment with the editor-in-chief of Random House, but unfortunately he was an ordinary person and did not know anyone who had the right to speak in the publishing house.

"Then please fill in your information. ”

The lady at the reception held an interview information form and handed it to Leicester.

Lester knew that this was a normal procedure, and that the visitor needed to fill in the information so that the writer would know the identity of the author who had arrived.

"Alright. “

Lester filled out his information and handed the interview information form to the reception lady.

"Please wait in Reception Room 2, and the editor will come to you when he is available. ”

The lady at the reception scanned the interview information form, saw that there were no typos, and pointed to the reception room with a smile;

Thank you!

Lester thanked him and walked towards Reception Room 2.

…

"You go back and think about it. ”

"Your book can be published. ”

As soon as he approached Meeting Room 2, Lester could hear the conversation between the contributors and editors in Meeting Room 1 and Meeting Room 3.

Obviously, the contributors in Reception Room 1 were rejected, while the novels written by the contributors in Reception Room 2 were well suited to the editor's appetite.

The rejected contributors in Reception Room 1 passed by Leicester listlessly and headed outside.

Submissions rejected by editors happen every day, and Lester just glanced at them and walked into the second meeting room to wait for the editor to come over.

————

After a while, Lester saw a young 28-year-old editor approach.

Sandner, as the youngest new editor to take office, has to review potential novel manuscripts every day, and last year he unearthed a relatively popular novel, which made him a mid-level editor with a bright future.

Therefore, he was very enthusiastic to drill around in the reception room, and did not hand it over to his subordinates, hoping to find a potential novel that could sell well, so that his future could go further.

As soon as I came out of the editorial office, I heard the lady at the reception say that there was a young contributor in the No. 2 reception room, so I came to take a look, but I didn't expect to walk into the No. 2 reception room, and I saw that the contributor was a white-skinned child of mixed Chinese and British descent, and my eyes were slightly surprised.

The young man's dark eyes showed a steady aura that did not match his age, and his handsome appearance of mixed Chinese and British race was a little more Western.

"You're the author you're here to contribute: Lester Rolley. ”

Sandner withdrew his look of surprise, and did not despise Leicester's age, but sat opposite Leicester and said politely in a professional manner;

"Yes, I'm the contributor, even though I look very young. ”

Lester laughed to himself;

"No, it's nothing, as long as you are talented, no matter how old you are, someone will pay attention. ”

Sandner laughed;

"Thank you for your good words. ”

Lester quoted Sandner without the slightest embarrassment, jokingly;

"You're really not modest, can you start?

Sandner was not bored by Lester's words, but meant something;

"This is the novel I wrote for Twilight: Twilight, you see. ”

Lester pulls out the manuscript of Twilight: Twilight and gives it to Sandna to read.

The background is British...

Sandner looked at the background of the UK at the beginning, his brows furrowed slightly, but he looked at it very well.

In the novel...

The heroine, Bella Swan, is a seventeen-year-old middle school girl, her father is a police officer who focuses on her work all day, and her mother is an impulsive and even a little neurotic woman, and they divorced when Bella was very young. Her mother remarried, and Bella came to the remote town of Fox, where it rained all year round, to live with her father Charlie. Bright and precocious, Bella, who is precocious and independent, is unlikely to receive much help from her parents, and is full of beautiful hopes for her future life, and she is deeply eager for opportunities outside her family. At school, she became acquainted with a boy in her class, Edward Cullen.

Edward is athletic, handsome and charming, and he is actually a member of the "vegetarian" vampire family, the Cullen family. Legend has it that in ancient Europe, a plague broke out on the continent, and people died one after another, but only a young man named Corvinus survived in the village. There are three descendants of Corvinus, unfortunately one of the three was bitten by a bat infected with the virus, the other was bitten by a wolf with the virus, only one survived in full human form, and his two brothers mutated due to the virus, the one bitten by the bat became the ancestor of the vampire, and the one bitten by the wolf became the ancestor of the werewolf. Vampires don't need to eat, they don't need to sleep, but they do need to constantly suck blood. When the Bloodlines are hungry, they will have an extremely strong craving for blood. The members of the Karen family are able to resist this desire, and they generally only suck the blood of animals and do not attack humans, so they are called "vegetarians". Unlike other vampires, Edward could see what others were thinking, but he couldn't see through Bella's mind alone, which was what fascinated him deeply.

Sandner couldn't help but be fascinated by the story of campus love and supernatural in "Twilight", and wanted to know the follow-up development.
