When Lance came over two days later, Xu An had already completed one-third of "Twilight", but this was only the first draft, because of the problem of name conversion, Xu An deleted some details from the original work, and added many other psychological descriptions of characters and scene transitions, so it still needs to be sorted out and revised after writing.

"You've written another book?" Lance took the first draft of "Twilight" and was amazed, "It's so fast, it looks like I'm going to be busy again." ”

"Lance, you don't need to work so hard, I'll just do the proofreading work myself, and I'm going to hire a legal person to help you take care of the contract issues." Xu An said.

"No, no, no, I like the feeling of being busy every day from morning till night, filling all my time so that I don't think about the past." Lance refused, "But it is still necessary to hire a lawyer, and it is best to leave the various legal terms of the contract to professionals, and now we are only involved in publishing agreements, and it is likely that there will be foreign publications, adaptation contracts, etc., these things I really can't handle." ”

Xu An looked at Lance and found that he looked like a dusty man, with dark circles on his eyes and looking very tired, but he was in very good spirits, and his eyes were bright and bright, "uh...... I don't know what to say, but you ......"

"No, no, Ann, don't say anything, I understand everything!" Lance interrupted Xu An's words, and said calmly: "I won't forget the past, but I won't let it drag me into the mire, I'm still me, I'll have a new life, and after the publication of "Lovely Bones", I'm going to leave Queens and move to Manhattan or Brooklyn to start over, Staten Island is also a good choice." ”

"You're going to sell Heline's house?" Xu An asked.

Lance was silent for a moment, and said, "I had this plan, but I changed my mind, and I was going to keep the house, and when I thought about my wife and Kelly, I could go back and see them." ”

Xu An patted Lance's shoulder hard, and didn't say anything, he could understand the sadness in Lance's heart, that house carried almost all the memories of his family of three, he would collapse if he continued to live there, but he was reluctant to sell it, keep it, at least there was a place to mourn when he missed his wife and daughter.

Lance took a deep breath, regained his spirits, and asked, "Okay, that's not all, I'll have to make a copy of your new book manuscript and find time to register the copyright." ”

"Don't be in such a hurry, Lance, this is a series of novels that is expected to have four or five stories, and you only take a third of the first one." Xu An said, "And I just disposed of the photocopier a few days ago, and that thing is too much of a hindrance." ”

"There's no photocopier, scanners can do, I'll go back and sort out the electronic version, copyright is a big deal, and these manuscripts are enough, this can't be sloppy." Unmoved, Lance looked at the cramped apartment and said, "Ann, your apartment is so small, writing and living are all crammed into such a small room, you should at least have a studio dedicated to writing." ”

Xu An said indifferently: "I'm thinking about this, but it's enough here for the time being." ”

"Enough?" While scanning the manuscript of "Twilight", Lance pointed to the desk he was using, "Look at the entire series of "A Song of Ice and Fire", the new work of "Twilight", the manuscripts, the canon, and all kinds of waste paper, you expect such a large desk to complete them?" It can't even roll out the world map of Fire and Ice...... Well? There's also a little story here, "Mamma Mia"? Is this the outline of the new story? Ann, I gotta say you're definitely a prolific author! ”

"No, no, Lance, this doesn't need to be scanned, it's just a simple script, and it's still a long, long way from being completed." Xu An hurriedly stopped.

Lance undeniably put the manuscript paper with the synopsis of the story of "Mamma Mia" into the scanner, and exclaimed as he worked, "You really surprised me that you even wrote a script?" Movie? TV episodes? ”

"Revue!"

"Wow, you even write a script for a musical show?!" Lance looked back at Xu An in surprise and said, "This is not a simple job, I think it's best for you to put writing first, the song and dance script?" It's so hard! ”

Xu An raised his hand and pressed it a few times, and said, "Don't worry, Lance, this is just an attempt, and it won't affect my writing, but if I can finish it, haha, I think you will be surprised!" ”

"OK, whatever you want!" Lance pursed his lips and said indifferently: "The reason why writers delay their manuscripts has been studied for hundreds of years and cannot be understood, and they will always make all kinds of excuses for their delays, and even the best psychiatrists cannot cure their procrastination." ”

"Hey, Lance!" Xu An glared at this guy with a smile, "Don't babble like a housewife." ”

"And the writer is very unimpressed with the delay, and he can't stand the urging of others......"

"Please, I'm fast enough to write, Lance, you don't need to say that to me!" Xu An said helplessly.

"Nope! You need it very much! Lance solemnly pointed at Xu An, and said seriously: "I'm just taking precautions in advance, I know that you will definitely delay the manuscript in the future!" Take a look at the book reviews on the Internet and in the newspapers, which are full of urging remarks! ”

Xu An patted his forehead helplessly, and said to Lance: "Isn't my speed fast enough?" If you look at "Twilight", it only took me a few days to complete a third of the first part, and it is definitely rare to find such a prolific writer! ”

"But what about A Song of Ice and Fire? How long did you take the first part? Three years or two years? Lance immediately said, "You're only halfway through A Clash of Kings!" This is only the second part, and there are even five more works that I don't know where, but what are you starting to write "Twilight" now, which is clearly a youth romance novel! ”

Xu An was stunned for a moment, he looked at Lance carefully, and found that the other party was really eager, so he asked tentatively, "You like "A Song of Ice and Fire" very much?" ”

"Hey Ann, who doesn't love this novel? Epic setting, colorful characters, The Starks and Jon Snow, Cersei, Daenerys, I've studied your canon set, how can Daenerys have so many titles? Queen of the Seven Kingdoms, Mother of Dragons, Guardian of the Whole Territory, Princess of Dragonstone...... I can't remember the rest, but it's really cool, she was just a little girl in the first part! ”

Xu An looked at the interested Lance helplessly, and understood everything, Lance was not only the first loyal fan of "Lovely Bones", but now he has also become a loyal fan of "Game of Thrones", and he is the kind of person who is quite poisoned, "But Lance, such a good novel, no publishing house is willing to publish it, right?" ”

"That's their short-sightedness! I've been working on Westeros for the rest of the time lately. Lance immediately said, "It's an epic work, everyone will love it, but the publisher has its own concerns, they say that the novel is too long, the background is too large and complex, the setting is thicker than the original book, and they are afraid that readers will not have the patience to study such a complex setting, which is hell, all the advantages of this work have become disadvantages in their eyes!" ”

"Hey, hey, man, don't get so excited!" Xu An soothed: "There is an old saying in China, gold always shines, don't worry, I believe that this novel will always come out one day, readers will like it, I have another idea in my mind that is no worse than "Ice and Fire", it is a story that happened in Middle-earth about a ring with magical powers, do you want to read it?" ”

Lance's attitude made Xu An restore confidence in "A Song of Ice and Fire": since there is a first loyal book lover, there will be a second and a third, this is a good work, Xu An never doubted this, he just didn't know if readers would like it, and now it seems that there should be no big problem.

"I don't want to!" Lance replied immediately, he shook his head firmly: "I don't want to at all, what I want to see now is the story of the Seven Kingdoms, the story of the Iron Throne, not some ring with magical powers, that may be a good work, but not now, Ann, you have to be single-minded, you can't always be half-hearted!" ”
