Chapter 24: Let Me Write a Book?
When Sissi's party finally ended, it was close to the early hours of the morning, and it was fortunate that it was not a gathering between high school students or college youth, and there was no deafening rock 'n' roll roar, so the surrounding neighbors never called the police to complain. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The guests began to leave one after another, and one by one the sports cars drove away from 7 Winton Street one by one without making the sound of their motors, and quickly swept past six houses and turned onto the street.
"Regarding the establishment of the new company, please support it, the screenwriters committee accumulates a large number of works every year, which is simply an inexhaustible treasure."
"Of course, I started shooting small films, after all, the new company has limited funds, but I first have to solve a series of problems such as the location of the company. Thank you for your support, I will definitely arrange you in the best position for the first movie test screening! ”
Standing at the door of his house, Mr. Lawrence constantly said goodbye to each of the departing guests, and the identity of each guest could be almost directly distinguished from their clothing, temperament and even appearance.
"These two must be graphic designers or costume designers, that one is a painter, and then the one with glasses must be a writer. And then this ...... I think I've seen his movies, right? ”
Alice stood in the garden, constantly looking at each of the departing guests, but although she knew that there were many Hollywood movie stars among them, they were undoubtedly famous in the 70s, and they were all popular actors today.
"Marlon Brando and Alpacino didn't attend, is your father's face not big enough? Or did they just not come? ”
"It's not just a Hollywood industry gathering, how many stars are you going to make on the stage?"
The dark green dress glittered softly in the streetlight, and Sissi and Alice stood side by side in the garden hallway, watching the guests leave, brushing their long hair, and suddenly changed the subject.
"Alice, what if I dye my hair blonde?"
Alice stared at Sissi's black hair with a serious look, as if there was a beetle hidden in the hair permed with a straightener: "Of course it's good, blonde beauties have always been beautiful, but if a girl of your temperament keeps her black hair...... Do you know what mystery is? It's also beautiful. ”
"Mystery? Understandable. ”
It was obviously praised, so Sissi raised her snow-white neck very proudly, and shook off her long hair very intoxicated: "By the way, Alice, how is it, tonight's party lasted more than four hours, do you know any interesting characters?" ”
"Interesting ......"
Alice blinked and watched a filmmaker get into her flamingo sports car: "There is indeed one~"
Of course she wouldn't tell Asimov about it, she wouldn't kill her, Sissi would laugh at her to death!
"It's called John Speick, and he's the chairman of Bantam Books, and I think he's funny~"
Until now, recalling Spike's expression at that time, Alice still wanted to laugh.
It's really not a face-saving one, although that Speck is impassioned in the synopsis, looks very dedicated, and even pretends to be mysterious, and then waits for himself to exclaim, in general, a very interesting uncle......
However, the plot of "Galactic Empire" is really low-grade in her opinion.
After talking for a long time, isn't it just a sci-fi version of the Three Kingdoms?
The Galactic Empire, spanning 100,000 light-years, 25 million inhabited planets, trillions of people, ah, great!
However, 10,000 years after the founding of the country, it collapsed...... It's also because Speike is so excited, isn't it doubling up and down for 5,000 years?
Although it's hard to say what the pace of life in the science fiction world is, since the scale of the empire is described as so grand, according to the eyes of the Chinese, it is still a million years old, right? You know, it's based on a river system.
10,000 years?
Alas......
Speaking of which, the lack of historical characteristics of Americans is also unique in the world.
"Bantam is a big company,"
Who knows, very inexplicably, Sissi actually got excited: "This is one of the world's largest paper book publishing companies, although it was just established in 45 years, but in 77 years, it was on the same level as Penguin Books in the United Kingdom!" Alice, what does Penguin stand for, do you know? ”
Alice touched her nose.
"Hmm...... The Internet company with the largest number of users and the most profitable Internet company in China? ”
"What's that? Hey, I said it's the UK! ”
"Okay, okay, then what?"
Looking at Sissi's excited appearance, Alice sighed helplessly.
Alice was a reading lover in her previous life, The Lord of the Rings is very good-looking, Harry Potter is very exciting, A Song of Ice and Fire is even better, you must buy it home and collect it, as for the complete works of Jin Yong Gulong, it is even more read three or four times, it can be said that it is not an exaggeration to be a heavy lover.
But that's it.
She didn't care about which publishing house, which book company, which book was reprinted, which book was selling.
In fact, Alice was a heavy anime lover in her previous life, and she didn't know how much anime she had watched.
But in the same way, she just "looks at anime". At least when I'm in Baidu, the voice actor has always paid no attention to anything, unless a classic voice such as Rie Nailiya or "Uncle Aizen" can make her have to recognize it, so I will check it out.
Alice still remembers an embarrassing incident.
In her previous life, she went to a comic con for the first time after graduating from high school, and when she saw the booth of the "Haruhi Suzumiya" series, she was so excited that she almost fainted.
Suzumiya Haruhi's animation, she loves to watch!
But when she came to the front and back of the booth, she was dumbfounded.
The latest episode of "The Split of Haruhi Suzumiya" is on sale?
Haruhi Suzumiya still has a manga!?
So I hurriedly bought it home.,It turns out that Suzumiya Haruhi still has comics.,This has to be a good look!
Then, it's the second step of dumbfounding.
Not a comic, a "light novel"?
Is a light novel a god thing?
Can you eat it?
Then, Haruhi Suzumiya started with a full set of light novels, but when he graduated from college, he only read half of it.
Knowing it but not knowing why, this is what Alice has known about the entertainment industry for a long time.
knows "Guernica", but has never been a Picasso; I've seen many movies and almost never pay attention to the actors, except for old classics like Morgan Freeman; memorized "Scarlet Fairy Tale" like a stream, but didn't know that it had two whole film adaptations, the Swedish and Hollywood versions of "Don't Approach the Living......
"Penguin Books!"
On the way home for Alice, Sissi was thrilled to learn that Alice hadn't heard of the company.
"It was founded in 1936 and is part of the Longman Publishing Group, which was founded in 1724, and is one of the best paper book companies in the world! You know, this company has several types of book series, and the main Penguin book series alone has published a full 5,000 copies! What is the concept of 5,000 books? It takes you more than ten years to read one book a day! ”
"Hmm...... Sissi......"
The corners of Alice's mouth twitched, she was ready to be beaten: "Excuse me, I mean excuse me...... What is a paper book? ”
So, not surprisingly, she saw Sissi with a typical "defeated" expression.
"Paper Book...... So you don't even understand this concept? ”
But seeing Alice's humble desire for advice, Sissi still gave a full explanation: "It's a book made of paper......"
Yes, it's just a book made of paper......
Paperback books, hardcover books, and set books, as long as they are not "cardboard books" for children, they are all paper books. As for the latter, a few dozen pages will be half an inch thick, painted with pictures and text, and can only be seen in the children's area. In other words, the artist's collection will also be used.
"You've read so many books for nothing, Alice!"
When the two of them walked to the door of the fifteenth, Sissi still didn't forget to count and said: "It's a shame that you still have such a big bookcase at home, and you don't know so much about the cultural circle, and you haven't even heard of the definition of a paper book!" ”
"I'm only twelve after all, okay? You have Mr. Lawrence as your father, what's so strange about knowing this? So I'm asking you now, what are the basic features of the BASIC language? How does it relate to assembly language? These are all entry-level questions, and you can answer one for me too? ”
Where can Sissi answer this kind of question, but admitting defeat is not something she can convince her, looking up at Alice's window on the second floor of the Wang family, she crossed her hands and snorted vigorously.
"I don't use a computer at all, what's so strange about not understanding a computer? You read so many books every day, but you don't know anything about it, that's why you shouldn't be! ”
Alice clasped her hands on her hips: "Then you say, how much should I know?" ”
Sissi didn't reply immediately this time, but frowned vigorously and pondered first.
Sissi knew that her best friend's brain was not ordinarily smart, as she could tell from the router she made. So, if you want to embarrass Alice, you have to be just right.
After a moment, she smiled weirdly, "Otherwise, you can write a book for me?" ”
Alice blinked: "Let me write a book?" ”
Sissi crossed her arms, held her head high proudly, and smiled proudly: "You can write anything, I just want to see what kind of story you can write with the head of a pure science student." How about Alice, would you like to challenge yourself? ”
Let a science student write a novel!
Sissi took it for granted that Alice would definitely burn all her brain cells for this.
"Well, this idea seems to be really interesting~"
Alice, however, laughed brightly.
In her previous life and present life, she had read many, many books, and thanks to her abnormally developed brain in this life, the memory of her previous life was as clear as clear water. Although it is obviously difficult to recall every word in each book, as long as she has read it more than three times, she will definitely remember it without a bad score!
"No problem, just wait!"
