Chapter 110, not simple Alice
Before the final plot arrived, a very relieving story was first released. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Throughout the book, as far as Oscar's personal life is concerned, he is always bullied by a few little bullies at school. During the plot, at Abby's encouragement, Oscar successfully rebelled against the little overlords, and even succeeded in seriously injuring one person.
This is of course a good thing, Xiaobawang's ears are torn, which is a big joy, but it also provides foreshadowing for the ending clip.
At the end, the lawless little bully knocked the sports club teacher unconscious, pressed Oscar, who is not good at water, to the bottom of the water, and told him to either hold his breath honestly for three minutes, or be cut on the face with a knife, and his behavior was extremely cruel.
There is no doubt that for Oscar, these three minutes are like a fatal crisis, after all, he is just an ordinary twelve-year-old boy with a cowardly system and no good at water. How is it possible to be pressed into the water by a bully and hold his breath for three minutes?
But even though he had almost lost the ability to struggle, because the three minutes had not yet arrived, the cruel classmate still showed no signs of giving up.
So, the evil retribution came.
Abby Blazer, who suddenly appears, shows off her powers as a vampire and simply kills the students by dismemberment. In this panic, the only thing Oscar in the water knows is the constant screams outside, and the human head and stump thrown into the water.
Then, when the boy climbed out of the water and raised his head, the original description of that paragraph almost made everyone breathe a sigh of relief.
After that, in the epilogue, Oscar embarks on a journey away from his homeland, with the rest of the money and belongings, as well as Abby, who hides in a wooden box to avoid the sun, and flies away, leaving behind a rather romantic ending.
"Hoo ......"
When the editors finished reading at nearly the same speed, almost at the same moment, everyone let out a long breath.
"This story is not simple. ”
Editor-in-chief Domingo sighed deeply: "Although the protagonist is a peer, such a story is by no means something that a normal seventh-grade girl can write. John, as stupid as that question is, I really want to ask, isn't Alice really taking someone else's work for an anonymous substitution?"
Brown shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Let's talk about my understanding of this story." Guys, I don't think it can be classified in the field of children's literature, that's fine, right?"
Everyone nodded in unison, although the theme of the story is the young love affair between two twelve-year-old children, but other plots are really not easy for boys and girls of this age to accept. Whether it's the plot of the Haken recruitment ** with pedophile tendencies, or the murder in it, or even more details that everyone hasn't analyzed at a glance, it's not too much to say that it's R-rated.
"Falling in love with a vampire is indeed a novel idea, and the protagonist is actually a beautiful little girl, which is very different from similar works in the past. ”
Editor Blaney said: "In the past, it was usually an evil vampire who captured the good heroine, and then launched a story of a hero saving the beauty and killing the demon, and "Dracula" is a typical example. But this book ...... Really, it's really subversive!"
"So there is no doubt about its market, this fresh vampire romance novel, will definitely be popular with many people. ”
Another editor said: "It integrates thriller, reasoning, suspense, and horror elements, and the love scenes on the main line are written very innocently, which is completely no different from the young first love of ordinary twelve or thirteen-year-old boys and girls." And there's obviously a lot of social reality in this book, and to be honest, I'm still shocked by a few of them. ”
Brown also nodded in agreement: "Yes, for example, Veronica, who turned into a vampire, could choose to live by sucking blood, but after being entangled and hesitating for a long time, she voluntarily chose to let Sunshine kill herself." Tsk, Alice...... I really don't know what this little girl's brain is made of. ”
In the end, the editor who is most closely connected with the author, Brown is inseparable from Alice in three sentences. Domingo patted the manuscript and said, "Since Alice threw the manuscript at you and left, it seems that she is very confident in the work, but I am also really fascinated by this novel." Ladies and gentlemen, the operation planning meeting of the second novel of emerging writer Alice Wang will be held tomorrow at one o'clock in the afternoon, no problem, right?"
"No problem! Absolutely! Haha, John, you're so lucky, let's clean up the house and have a party!"
"The last Jurassic Park is still at the bottom of the New York Times best-seller list, and in the past six months, it has sold more than 800,000 copies in China alone, and now it's coming again! God, I'm looking forward to it. ”
"But this book is really hard to classify, if you don't have those plots, you can just put it in the children's area. But now it's not so divided, the protagonist is ...... age"
"That's right!"
In the midst of a lively discussion, Blaney suddenly slapped his face: "Speaking of sales...... You say, the director of the recently hit "Ghost Shadows"...... Could it be her, too?"
As soon as these words came out, the entire conference room was instantly silent.
"Ghost Record" ......"
Brown's expression is weird, as a movie that has also been screened in the past six months, of course he has seen it, and his colleagues have long compared the director with the same name with Alice, but of course he was fooled by Alice himself for a while, and it was too late for everyone to be busy with work, of course they wouldn't think much about this kind of thing.
But now, Blaney's words have once again made everyone concerned about this issue.
"Yes, whether it is Jurassic Park, or the ghost record, or this ...... "let-the-right-one-in", there are elements of thriller and suspense, and they also have fantasy elements. A dinosaur, an evil spirit, a vampire, the director and the author all have the same name, and they don't seem to have ever appeared in public......"
Suddenly, Domingo suddenly discovered that his childhood sweetheart's neighbor girl was actually a loli vampire, and his expression was so strange that people couldn't help but take pictures.
"Do any of you remember the news at the beginning? When "Ghost Shadow" was being filmed, many reporters went to the scene to cover it, and it seems that an article pointed out that the author was a little girl......
Domingo frowned and pondered, Brown shook his head and said, "I can't remember this clearly, after all, the filming cycle of that movie seems to be ...... Seven or eight days, and then it's done. Most of the news was written casually by the various media outlets, and it was all random speculation, and I didn't bother to read it later. ”
Domingo nodded, and finally as if he suddenly remembered something, he suddenly looked up at his watch: "Oh my God, it's already six o'clock in the evening!
It was only then that everyone suddenly realized, and several people shouted, no wonder they were so hungry! From one o'clock in the afternoon when they entered the conference room and began to read, until they finished reading the book quickly, the whole afternoon had passed!
"Go home, Jenny is still waiting for me to come home for dinner, see you tomorrow!"
One person walked out with the manuscript in his hand, and the others got up with a grin and walked out of the conference room one after another. Domingo, of course, was the last to leave, and before he walked out of the room, he tapped Brown on the shoulder.
"This girl is still young, and I don't know how far she will be able to achieve in the future. John, you must have a good relationship with her, if you let go of a future superwriter...... Haha, I guess you don't need anyone else to say anything, you should be angry with yourself, right?"
Listening to his boss's teasing, Brown shook his head and walked out of the room with a wry smile.
At six o'clock in the evening, which is the standard end time, Manhattan is once again in rush hour. The highway is filled with rolling traffic, and the bustling commuters mingle with the residents who wander along the sidewalks.
Times Square is the most densely populated area, where the New York Times was headquartered in its early days, hence the name of the square. Surrounded by colorful neon lights and street performers, big screens play news and music music videos at all times, and hundreds of people pass by every minute.
Among them, there is such an eye-catching combination, the juxtaposition of the four girls is extremely eye-catching, but the most important thing that makes the passers-by keep turning back is the boy who yells in front of the girl quartet.
"Oscar, Alice, you damn thing, why do you have to call the actor my name!?"
"Today~There is a lot of sunshine~ beautiful, and the sun ~ how brilliant ~ how brilliant ~ "
"Don't sing anymore! I've been asking you all afternoon, you out-of-tune king with a broken voice!, why do you have to put my name on that idiot!?"
"Majestic~Angry~Across the Yalu River~~~!!"
"Don't sing arias, bastard! completely out of tune!!Also, don't ignore my questions over and over again, bastard!"
“and-i~~i,will-always-love~you~you~you~oh-oh-you~”
To Oscar's surprise, the last line of my sister's song was completely out of tune, completely different from the broken gong voice that came this afternoon. And not only is it not out of tune, the soprano is exquisite, the timbre is beautiful, and the melody is beautiful, which directly makes dozens of pedestrians within a radius of more than ten meters stop in an instant and look at Alice who is singing in great surprise.
“my-darling-you~”
At the end of a low note, Alice looked at the surprised crowd around her, pouted, and quickly coughed: "Sing casually, sing casually, don't be so surprised." ”
In this way, the scene is a lively Times Square after all, and the people around immediately walked around. But then, Sissi and Ashley took the lead in the front row, patting Alice on both shoulders from left to right.
"Awesome, I never knew you could sing so well!"
"That song is so good, but why haven't I heard of it?Alice, you can't have made it up yourself, can you!?"
Faced with a series of questions from the two friends, although he didn't speak, he threw a curious look at him, Alice smiled: "Oops~Feel free to hum~"
