"So, you've been writing at home?" Emily ate the tortilla in her hand and clapped her hands gently, "Can you show me the book you wrote?" ”

"Woo, no problem, I'll show you later, the original manuscript is in my agent's place, I still have an electronic version here, and now there are only two books in total, one of which is very complicated, you may not be interested......" Xu An fiddled with the notebook a few times, and found the electronic version of the manuscript sent by Lance. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

“《THE-LOVELY-BONES》？” Emily whispered, "Has this book been published?" I mean, it's okay to watch it now, right? ”

"It's okay, just read it, of course it's not published yet, if it's published, I'll show you the book, but I think I've signed a contract now, and the agent called me in the morning...... Hmm, how do you make this barbecue? It's so delicious! Xu An said as he gulped down the barbecue, as for the tortillas? It tasted good, but it wasn't his thing.

"A unique secret recipe, I won't tell you!" Emily smiled slyly, then whispered, "My name is Shamon, and I sound like salmon, and my name is Susie...... I was only fourteen years old when I was murdered. Ann, I guess it's a detective novel, right? ”

"Haha, don't jump to conclusions so early, keep reading." Xu An smiled but did not answer.

Emily looked at him with a smile and returned her attention to the computer, "In those days, people didn't think that children would encounter murder or anything like that......" The concise and smooth text, the reading experience is very good, and Emily quickly became fascinated.

Although this book is a family trauma novel, family, friendship and love are touching, but the style of the first half is gloomy and heavy, Susie is brutally murdered by a perverted neighbor, her family is suddenly pushed to the brink of collapse, but the murderer is still at large, Emily's brow is getting tighter and tighter, and she feels her heart being tugged.

In particular, the description of the murder process and the portrayal of the perverted murderer in the book are chilling, very characteristic of detective novels, and Emily is more and more determined in her guess: this must be a detective novel!

However, she soon found that the content of the story gradually shifted towards Susie's family, and the writing began to become humorous and full of warmth, but the great changes suffered by the family and the impunity of the murderer were still moving, and Emily had large tears in her eyes, and she had to cover her mouth to keep herself from crying.

Xu An silently handed over a tissue, and Emily thanked her in a whisper, and then couldn't wait to read it.

Time gradually passed, in the blink of an eye, it was ten years, this poor family endured a full ten years of mental torture, Susie's friends have also graduated from college and embarked on their own life paths, her father recovered from a heart attack, her mother returned, and the family was finally reunited again, although the haze brought by Susie's tragic death to the family has always been over everyone's heads, they still began to slowly come out of the shadows and support each other to start a new life.

A father who is as majestic as a tree but a little reckless, a smart and strong sister, an optimistic and open-minded grandmother, a childhood sweetheart's boyfriend, and a best friend who is in love with a sister, they are just like those relatives and friends around everyone, ordinary but sincere feelings, but they can resonate with everyone.

In particular, there is a passage in the book that makes Emily feel very good: a family, like the bones of a person's body, even if a piece is broken and missing, but the skeleton will eventually grow whole, as a missing part, although she is attached to this family, everyone also regrets in memory, but the whole family has experienced this disaster and grief, and finally merged.

"Ha......" Emily let out a long sigh, her expression was very complicated, and she looked at Xu An with shining eyes: "Ann, this is really a very, very good novel, really, I don't know how to describe it, but it's really ...... Great! ”

The mood has not yet calmed down, Emily is full of emotion, her voice is still a little hoarse, but her expression is very excited, Xu An looked at her with a smile, and handed over a tissue: "Thank you for the compliment, give, you'd better wipe it again, otherwise I can't explain it when Bruce and Rachel see it." ”

"Haha." Emily laughed, she wiped her face a little embarrassed, and finally simply went to wash it, and by the time she sat down again, her mood had calmed down, "Ann, I really didn't expect you to be so good, it will become a bestseller, now I can't wait to see your other novel, next time I read I must prepare tissues in advance, and then find a corner that will not be noticed." ”

Xu An waved his hand and said, "No, no, no, the other book is a completely different type, that book is more serious, similar to history or biography, I don't think anyone will shed tears about it." ”

Tears over Game of Thrones? Is that excitement, or tears of sadness? Xu An really couldn't imagine that kind of picture.

Emily laughed, "But I still want to see it, honestly, I didn't expect a best-selling author living upstairs, it's really cool, when you get published, I'm going to have to buy it back and ask you to sign it for me." ”

"It's an honor!" Xu An also smiled, "So, how are you preparing for your performance?" ”

"Well prepared, everything is fine!" Emily nodded, then didn't know what to think, her brows furrowed slightly, and she said with some uncertainty: "Each of us works hard, songs, dances...... But after reading your novel, I feel like the story we're going to play out is a little, a little ...... I can't tell, it seems that the whole story is not so coherent and smooth, and that kind of story can be seen everywhere, such as some plots, it feels like it appeared in children's books, and it can also be seen in the discount section of the bookstore, and there is nothing new at all. ”

"Hey, beauty, show some confidence, you're performing a musical and dance drama, not a novel, it doesn't have to be so new, don't forget that many classic tracks are adapted from works from hundreds of years ago, but they are still very popular!" Xu An comforted, and then he laughed again, and said exaggeratedly: "And don't compare this novel casually, this is this year's bestseller of the year!" ”

"But only three months are going to pass this year, are you saying that the sales of your book in three months can be worth the sales of someone else's sales in a year, are you sure?" Emily winked and laughed.

"Uh......" Xu An was speechless, there are still three months to go until the New Year, and his book may only sign a contract today, or tomorrow, and then it will be designed, proofread, printed, promoted, and distributed...... The bestseller of the year, who seemed to be a bit fanciful, hurriedly remedied: "Next year, I'm talking about next year." ”

"Haha, then I'm looking forward to your good news!" Although Emily still didn't feel right, she didn't think about it, their new play has not been performed in public, and the feeling when performing on stage is different from the audience's feelings, today she changed her perspective to think about the new play that everyone is preparing, although it feels like there are some small problems, but she doesn't take it to heart.

"By the way, Emily, do you think my novel is suitable for a musical adaptation? If it's appropriate, I can give you a free license! Xu An then asked.

Emily shook her head and said, "Ah, seriously, I don't know, I'm just a young actor, and you have to find a veteran or ask a screenwriter for this kind of question." ”

"Well, I'll just say it casually." Xu An said indifferently, "One more thing, can you find me some scripts for the song and dance drama?" The complete kind, new dramas, old dramas. ”

"No problem, it's easy!" Emily said, "You're going to write a script?" ”

"Who knows?" Xu An smiled: "I have countless wonderful ideas in my brain, maybe one day I will write a classic heirloom work, and then we will work together to dominate Broadway!" ”

Regarding the song and dance drama, Xu An has seen several through Stephen's perspective, all of which are classic repertoire, but compared with other performance forms, the song and dance drama is more difficult to replicate simply, because it also includes a large number of dances and songs, Xu An only knows piano scores, but he knows nothing about composition and lyrics, and dance choreography is also a complicated job.

"Wow, dominate Broadway?! That must be pretty cool! Emily burst out laughing, and at that moment, there was a sound of someone coming upstairs outside the door, and Emily glanced at the time and suddenly exclaimed, "Oh my God, it's so late?!" ”

Xu An glanced at the time and found that it was almost early in the morning.

"It's Rachel and they, I'm going back, Ann." Emily was a little annoyed, today she just planned to come to see Xu An and chat with him, but she didn't expect a novel to let her read it so late.

"Bye-bye, thank you for the barbecue, it's really great!"

"If you like, I'll do it again when I have time." Emily whispered, then hurriedly said goodbye, and hurried away.
