"Jurassic Park," the novel that came out of nowhere, has been on the New York Times bestseller list for a long time since it was released last November.

In fact, as early as the thirties, this bestseller list has been criticized for a long time. It looks as if it has the divine power to crown a good or bad book and make readers flock to it. But in fact, many people can feel a hint of ambiguity from the official reply of the newspaper.

"We select some book distributors across the country and use the data they provide to make rankings, and we can't say which ones these dealers are."

Of course, there are many benefits to being on the list, from publishing companies to the general public. If a writer is the author of a fictional work and is on the list, he will have a steady stream of manuscripts and reprints for a period of time. And if it is non-fiction, especially business-related, will there be less speech, training, and consulting in the future? Being on the list means more exposure, more prestige, and so on, there's no doubt about it.

Therefore, at this time, there is a kind of business in secret, which is to wash the list.

To summarize the steps briefly, the first step is to find a book washing company and pay them. And then they paid for it, this time for the books, and then the company started to help wash the books. Of course, it is not possible for writers to buy books in large quantities on their own, so the company's approach is to hire workers all over the United States and buy books at different shipping and payment addresses at major distributors. In this way, "single consumption" rather than "large purchases" is completed.

Then, he has succeeded as a best-selling author and is qualified to show an elder smile on the list......

Therefore, when a newcomer and new book like "Jurassic Park" suddenly came out, many book companies and industry insiders kept issuing statements, claiming that the author of the book, Alice Wang, must have been on the list, otherwise why would she have been on the list for so long?

It stands to reason that at this time, the writer himself should show up, whether it is to refute the other party's statement, or to emphasize his innocence, even if he strangely admits that he has indeed washed the list, they should generally show up. After all, writers are the kind of people who value fame very much, and no matter what the name is, as long as they are famous...... It's all about sales, isn't it?

But to the surprise of many people in the industry, the writer is really ...... Very offbeat.

only left a personal name on the book, not even a photo, let alone an introduction; There is no book launch, there is no on-site signing activity, and some are just the standardized smiling faces of salesmen; There are no interviews, interviews, or information programs, although the work itself is constantly being reprinted, and even the overseas version has been translated into several versions......

But all those who care about it are surprised to find that the writer is completely invisible.

Even Bantam made an official statement, saying that the other party was indeed a very low-key person, and only one editor in the company contacted her, and the other party handed over almost all the specific matters to the company.

Of course, many media have also made a lot of speculation, such as the recent "Ghost Shadow", and many media are comparing the director with the writer. didn't show up, they all had only one name, and the names were all the same, and even the crew members once broke the news that her real body was a little girl......

However, a sensation is a sensation, and since the other party still does not show up despite this, any gossip will disappear with the passage of time, and it can only stay on the page for a while.

However, the entire entertainment industry still remembers her, the mysterious Alice Wang.

"Hey, did you hear that, that girl has a new book."

"That author of Jurassic Park? It's not surprising, after all, this book has been on the bestseller list for so long, what is wrong with her? ”

"Bantam's initial publicity, vampire love story, and there are suspenseful thriller links!"

"You're kidding, who would fall in love with a monster like a vampire!? Are you sure you're not mistaken, it's not the evil vampire who robbed the witcher protagonist's fiancée? ”

"It's true! And it still seems to be a ...... The atmosphere of young first love, in short, you can see it! ”

This type of conversation was first spread in the small half of the American book world, and God knows how many people in the industry are staring at the charts who have been salivating over Alice's next novel for a long time. When Bantam Books finally released the news, countless bees focused their eyes on the past as if they had smelled the most fragrant flower in the world.

Harry was one of them.

"Oh my God, why am I so stupid, why don't I just let the bookstore mail it to my door next time?"

One afternoon, Harry, who had just woken up from a short sleep, was walking down the streets of Manhattan, grumbling as he walked towards the target bookstore. The sandals, floral pants and cartoon T-shirt aren't too eye-catching, but any pedestrian will have to shy away when they see his flowing, sweaty, medium-long hair.

"I'm going to go out as soon as I get up...... Why should I go out obediently? Oh shit, isn't it just to avoid waking up early, why should I be in trouble for myself? ”

Although he complained, when Harry finally reached the door of the target bookstore, his sleepy eyes immediately widened.

Right at the door, a half-human-tall roll-up banner is painted with snow, and a boy and a girl stand with their backs to each other, forming an extremely beautiful picture. In the second volume of this roll-up banner, the designer unexpectedly chose a bright red English font to form a slightly darkened title.

This is the girl's new book, Harry frowned, "Didn't you say vampire love?" What is it for two boys and girls to stand together? ”

Of course, there were more than one or two people who thought like him, and just as Harry finished speaking, another person stood beside him: "Found it, Alice finally has a new book!" Vampire love, haha, it's cool to think about! ”

Harry looked at the man, a typical black hippie, "Cool? Do you already know what this book is about? ”

The hippie glared at him, "Oh buddy, what are you kidding, do you see me holding a trifold in my hand?" Or do you think I'm Alice's boyfriend and have already seen her unpublished manuscripts? Oh buddy, if you really think I'm Alice's boyfriend, I'm not going to deny it, but ......"

Harry hurried into the bookstore.

"Hey, Mom, what do you mean by that?"

The first floor of the bookstore was full of people, and as soon as Harry entered, he heard the trifold of a little blonde girl beside him, pointing to the top paragraph of the page and asking.

Harry saw it sharply.

[Oscar, if I weren't a girl, would you still like me?] 】

The girl then asked, "Why does she say she's not a girl?" ”

When the mother smiled slightly, she touched her daughter's head and said, "This means that that girl is a vampire, and there is a racial barrier with that boy." You see, Emily, if you're a vampire and you're in love with a little human boy, would you ask that kind of question? ”

Little Emily was not very old, frowning and pouting, as if thinking about the difficult mystery of the birth of the universe, and looked embarrassed: "This ...... This one...... Oops, it's a real headache! ”

Harry chuckled, walked by, and picked up a trifold from the shelf.

Although he didn't know how the author came up with the idea, let alone how the plot would develop, Harry was really surprised to see this long synopsis on the trifold.

"The first heart beat often happens earlier than we remember."

After the first sentence of the beauty, there is the continuation of the content.

Many years later, Oscar may not care who Abby is or how their future ends, but he will always remember the moonlit night when they first met. Her small thin figure, long black hair, and cold and bright eyes made him estimate that a warm current suddenly rose in his long-standing heart. ”

"Estimation is an innate endowment for some people, and only estimation will produce a story."

"She only shows up at night. It was cold and windy, but she wore only a thin pink trade. The skin is as thin as celadon, like a child, and his slight demeanor has become old and vicissitudes. She is so beautiful and clear, but she often exudes a foul rancid stench from her body. ”

"Oscar was so attracted to this weird girl that he shared his favorite Rubik's Cube with her, teaching her to use Morse code to communicate words that only they could understand."

Before the meeting, he was lonely and cowardly, cowering in the shadow of school violence. She is lonely and stubborn, struggling in the world in a panic. For the first time, he felt the happiness of being cherished, and she also felt the warmth and attachment of the world from him. ”

Oscar notices Abby's occasional hideousness, he wonders about her amazing beauty and unusual aging, saddened by her alienation, and angry at her avoidance. He didn't expect that the horrific murders that kept appearing in the town were all related to the skinny elf-like girl next to him. ”

"A secret that has been buried for two hundred years will finally come to light."

Standing on the first floor of the bustling bookstore, surrounded by a crowd of loiters, Harry couldn't help but sink into the almost beautiful little articles on the trifold.

"The story...... It's not easy! ”
