Chapter 18: Caprice

The next day, Lance prepared the official agency contract, including the agency contract, as well as the agency contract for "Game of Thrones" and "Lovely Bones", Lance prepared very carefully, and the terms of the contract were also very reasonable, and even in Xu An's opinion, some of the terms were a little harsh on Lance himself. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

To put it simply, it means that the responsibilities and obligations of Lance are greater than the benefits he can receive.

Xu An and Lance discussed, simply modified a few details, the two sides signed their names, and notarized, the agency contract officially took effect, and Lance did not delay, after signing the contract, immediately took the relevant materials of the two books, and went straight to a publishing house in Manhattan, this is only his first stop, within a few days, he will visit five publishing houses in Manhattan, and then the scope will be expanded to all of New York, and the farthest destination on his itinerary is even to the West Coast!

In the next few days, Xu An devoted almost all of his energy to the writing of "A Clash of Kings", and the addition of Lance allowed him to regain his confidence.

For a while, Xu An completely incarnated as an otaku, almost staying at home, many times the meal was solved by takeout, and the cash in his pocket could last for a while, and after having confidence, he was not too worried about the cost of living, at least he could swipe his credit card first, without worrying too much about overdue.

Bruce and they have been busy with the rehearsals of the new play recently, and they don't even have time to go to the bar, Xu An sometimes writes late at night, and when they hear them come back, they will go down to say hello, and it can be seen that these people are very careful to prepare for the new play, Emily officially invited Xu An to watch the first performance of their new play on October 25, that is, Veterans Day.

It is said that this is a musical drama about medieval ghosts, Emily calls it a romantic magic drama, Bruce and the five of them, together with a dozen other actors, have been preparing for this for a long time, and recently it has reached a critical moment, everyone is full of confidence in it, on Broadway, not every new play has the opportunity to be performed, there are too many experimental new plays that are stifled in the early stages and unknown, it can be said that the performance is the first step towards the success of a play.

…………

At night, a music café near Greenwich Village in Manhattan.

Xu An stuffed himself at home for a day, and came out at night to breathe, he didn't go to the Lightspeed Bar, where the environment was too noisy, and most of the regular customers remembered him, and if he went, he would inevitably be invited to perform on stage.

His hip-hop dance is inherited from Stephen's talent, that guy is not only a first-class extreme athlete, but also a hip-hop master, especially good at imitating MJ's mechanical dance steps, Xu An practiced for a while in his free time, probably because he and Stephen have the same consciousness, he is relatively easy to get started with what Stephen is good at, plus a good body that has been practiced martial arts all year round, so whether it is extreme sports or hip-hop, it is not difficult for him.

But neither of these things is his cup of tea, and it is the various books that Stevens reads while lying on the hospital bed after being paralyzed that arouse his interest more than these stimulating and eye-catching things.

Just like "A Song of Ice and Fire", Xu An is completely doing it as an interesting thing, he has only read the original book once, and then he has to restore the book through this, and he has to complete a complex and huge set of settings during the period, and watching a wonderful and huge different world be filled up little by little through the tip of his pen, which makes people full of pleasure.

Not only "Ice and Fire", but also some other literary works, the music that Stephen has listened to, the movies he has watched, the TV series, the comics, and even everything in that world, these things exist in Xu An's mind, and they are constantly replaying in his mind, like a treasure hunter who has found a treasure, everything is wonderful and exciting.

Xu An sat on the window seat, listening to soothing pure music, slowly sipping coffee, but his mind flew to an unknown distance, he was playing an interesting game, this is the idea he came up with by chance today.

In his mind, he tried to restore everything in that world through Stephen's limited perspective, and then played a game similar to everyone coming to find differences, looking for the difference between the two worlds.

It's a fun way to play, and it's deceptively simple, but it has a huge set of settings involving two real worlds, and once you find the differences, you can increase the difficulty and continue to try to find out why there are differences.

It's not a simple matter, it's about logic, reasoning, and imagination.

Perhaps, it is more of a philosophical question.

Xu An's head began to hurt when he thought about it, and then he couldn't help but shake his head self-deprecatingly, philosophy? The greatest philosophers probably don't understand all of this, and the so-called philosophers are either mediocre people who deceive the world or crazy people who no one understands.

Neither of these was what he wanted!

Thinking of this, Xu An twisted his body and changed to a more comfortable position, but unfortunately no one could share this secret with him, otherwise it would be very interesting for the two of them to discuss it with each other.

Picking up the coffee, Xu An casually glanced out the window, but suddenly found a blonde girl hurrying through the window of the café, with familiar eyebrows and eyes, and a pure dress, it was the girl I saw in the bar a few days ago, Taylor.

I don't know if it's influenced by Stephen, Xu An is full of interest in this girl, Taylor in the dream has receded from his youth, and he has also lost his pure temperament, he is already a world-class singer, every move and smile affects the heartbeat of the world, like the girl next door now, but not many people have seen it.

But right now, the girl next door seems to be in a little trouble.
