Alex, who couldn't go out, could only stay at home in New York and couldn't go anywhere. Now even if he wants to go to school, he can't go to school, as soon as he appears in front of people, he will be surrounded by groups. Now he is equivalent to a child who is confined to the house, and he can only regain his freedom after the limelight has passed.

The only good thing about this is that Alex doesn't have to go to school. There is no need to go to public school, and with his current reputation, there will be people who follow him wherever he goes. His parents found a private high school in New York City, so he was free to move around the rest of the time as long as he went to the exams.

He was bored and could only devote all his time to writing books. "Harry Potter" has been changed beyond recognition by him, but the main line and some subplots have been retained, and Harry is no longer the boy who owes the beating. The magic system is not as chaotic as Aunt Rowling's pen, but it seems very clear and clear, making people think that magic should be like this.

As for the description of the battle scene, it is just a piece of cake for Alex, who has read countless online articles. If he hadn't worried that his style would not be easily accepted by the Americans, he would have depicted the battle to death.

Originally, many fantasy novels in this era were based on the set of "The Lord of the Rings", which was popular and literary, which made people feel that the author's writing was awesome after reading it. What I didn't expect was that Alex's little white text turned out to be a school of its own and sold very well.

In particular, Alex's force measurement system makes those Americans who are deeply influenced by science feel very reliable at a glance, rather than the mysterious and unpredictable feeling. His setting was quickly adopted by other authors and became the setting in many fantasy novels.

Alex's description is wonderful, but there is a problem that it lengthens the story a lot. At least one of his books has nearly half the word count than Aunt Rowling's. That's all a habit left over from Alex's previous irrigation, and it can't be changed. Unexpectedly, this approach was very popular with Carl, and even encouraged him to write more fight scenes.

"Readers have written to me that they like the fights you write about, and I hope you can do more." Karl said to him.

"Huh? For what? Alex didn't understand, these contents, in his opinion, were boring fighting processes, and if he saw this kind of content, he would basically look at it at a glance.

"Don't you know the way? This fighting style of yours is unique in the industry. No one else can write about so many fights, it's a whimsical idea, and it makes people watch it over and over again. Carl praised Alex without pretense, and it seemed that he enjoyed watching the fights as well.

Alex thought about it and immediately understood, it turned out that the fights he thought were boring were simply a new continent for those who had never been exposed to martial arts novels, fairy tale novels, and fantasy novels. Jin Yong's writing is very good, but his fight scenes, compared with the novels of the era of the explosion of online literature, are simply rushing to the street to death, and I don't know what is going on.

What's more, Alex's novels are not directly translated from online novels, but written in a way that Westerners can accept. After all, he has lived in the United States for so many years, and he can hear and think English every day, and he has long been assimilated by this cultural environment. What is written, of course, can also be understood and accepted by Americans.

"Are you sure you want me more?" Alex figured it out and checked with Carl again.

"Yes, it would be better if the Harry Potter series could have been written a little more, and a lot of people don't want it to end so soon." Carl asked Alex, and he knew that there would probably only be about 12 books in this set. It was only at his strong suggestion that Alex added 5 books from 7 to the original book.

It's just irrigation, as long as you have read the online article, you will. Of course, it didn't bother Alex, he only planned to pour about 5 books of water, but he didn't expect Carl to be too satisfied, so he had to ask him to write longer.

Alex first wanted to drag out the scene by lengthening the battle, but he later felt that it was too obvious to do so. Besides, physical books are not the same as online articles, and if a battle drags on for several chapters, it is estimated that readers will be disgusted. He decided to take a break from the original outline so that the story could be written a little longer. Anyway, he can't leave home now, so it's a good choice to engage in writing or something.

Drawing on the many online novels he had read in his previous life and adding many storylines, Alex expanded his Harry Potter series to 30 books, each with about 400,000 words. In other words, it will be a fantasy novel of tens of millions of words, and it is estimated that at the time, no one would dare to write that long.

After Carl saw Alex's new plan, he only felt that the world was about to collapse, which must be a sign of failure.

"Alex, don't mess around on a whim. There will be 12 million words now, and you have only completed less than 2 million now. Carl was almost crying, he didn't expect that he had offered to stretch the length, and Alex would make it so long. If this is messed up, he will have to bear the responsibility. He seemed to have seen the editor-in-chief asking him to go home, and it would be difficult to find such a good job again.

Alex then carefully explained to him that his stretching was not a mess, but an idea. The first 10 books of "Harry Potter" are intended to be used to describe the feud between Harry and Voldemort, that is, revenge. The middle 10 books are intended to tell the story of Harry's successful revenge, slowly connecting the wizarding world with the real world, and ordinary people have begun to understand magic, and the combination of magic and science has benefited both parties. The last 10 books describe Harry embarking on the road to becoming a god, and at the same time, human society has completely embarked on the magical interstellar era.

"Actually, the magical interstellar era is just the beginning. It's just that for Harry personally, this is already a paragraph. If you continue to talk about it, it will be boring. Alex talked about it, and he said it all the way.

After listening to Alex's well-founded statement, Carl realized that the story was very well structured, not as chaotic as he thought, and it was still appealing.

However, there are more than 10 million words in total. Did you write it? Karl was still a little worried.

Alex was killed by Carl with one blow, and he knew his character, if it weren't for the fact that he couldn't get out, he wouldn't want to sit in front of the typewriter and code words.

"Yes, it should be possible. It's a big deal that I write one a year, so it's all right. ”

"One a year? Wouldn't that be 30 years to write? Do you still have passion then? Carl doesn't believe it, he's also a man who has written things, and if the writer's passion is no longer when he writes a book, it must be a bad ending.

"How can it be 30 years? Haven't I already published so many books? I'm just saying, if you don't have time, write less, and make sure to have at least one book a year. If you have enough time, write more. Alex bit his pen and said as he thought.

After arriving at the end, he lowered his eyes and said: "If it really doesn't work, I'll write it according to the plan of 12 books, and when I don't want to write, I will directly have a meteorite escape method, kill all the bad guys, and then the good guys will live happily together!" ”

Carl was a little stunned when he heard this, thinking that Alex's plan was simply nonsense, but he couldn't do anything about it.

Four books in the Harry Potter series have already been published, and he is now working on a fifth. He plans to finish the first ten books quickly, and according to his daily code speed, he can code about 10,000 words a day. The most important thing is that he also has a way, which is to code words in his mind first, write the novel and then type it out on a typewriter. With a complete memory, it was easy for him to do such a small thing.

With so much free time, Alex's daily code words are fast, and the fastest time is about 20,000 words. When he was coding words, he noticed that Richard seemed to be a little sullen, but he didn't ask for anything, until one day when he was eating, Richard didn't want to eat, and Bart asked him what he was for.

"I don't have an appetite, I don't want to eat." Richard said.

"Why don't you have an appetite?" Angel was strange.

"The latest issue of 'Captain America' can't be bought." Richard said unhappily.

Captain America is a superhero character from MARVEL Comics, created by screenwriter Joe Simon and painter Jack Bryant, who first appeared in the first issue of the Captain America comics, published in March 1941. His real name is Steve Rogers, a young American who was experimentally transformed into a "super soldier" who was instrumentally transformed into a "super-soldier" who was a man of great service in World War II and is often seen as a symbol of the American spirit.

Richard loves to read comics, especially Captain America comics. Like other children of his generation, he had a penchant for watching every issue of the comic. Although Captain America has gradually faded out of the comics with the end of the war, there are still a group of diehards who are looking forward to Captain America's return. This issue of Captain America is a special issue that was temporarily launched to celebrate the 10th anniversary of victory in World War II.

This made Richard happy for a long time, and he waited for a special issue of "Captain America" to come out, but it turned out to be very disappointing to him.

Barthes didn't know much about comics, and he asked, "Why can't you buy anything?" You have so much pocket money that you can't afford a comic? ”

Angel had an understanding of what Richard cared about, and she explained: "In the past few years, there has been a doctor who said that reading comics is harmful, so many comic companies have been unlucky. Maybe it was affected, so "Captain America" was axed. ”

In the 50s, American comics suffered the greatest challenge, and the "comic book harmfulness theory" became popular. In the spring of 1954, the Senate held a hearing specifically on comic book publishing. Comic companies had to set their own limits, and at the same time, there was a movement against comics in society. Publishers shut down, and within a year, comic book sales fell by 75 percent.

Richard's sighing appearance made Alex dislike it, and he said, "Since you like comics so much, then buy the comic company." Let them draw you a comic that you like. ”

"Really? Can we do this? When Richard heard this, he immediately came to his senses. He looked at his parents and pleaded, "Mom and Dad, buy me a comic company." I really, really want to watch Captain America! ”

Bart was made to laugh and cry by them, and he said, "Don't make trouble, you can't spend money like this." ”

Angel doesn't think so, she says, "If you can afford it, buy it." However, you have to buy it with your own money. ”

After Richard listened to his parents, he knew that he would have to find Alex in the end. He immediately approached his brother and asked, "When are we going to buy the comic company?" Do you have enough money right now? ”

Alex didn't really think about buying a comic company, but he suddenly remembered that many science fiction movies in later generations were taken from comics. For example, Superman, Spider-Man, Batman, Iron Man, The Avengers, etc., have all been made into movies, and the box office is also good.

"Don't worry, wait until I investigate clearly." Alex, of course, knows that if you want to buy a company, you don't just have to go to the bank to withdraw money and then go to the supermarket to buy it. There will inevitably be a lot of money involved, and now that the Carpenter family has more money, the relationship between the industries is quite complicated.

Just talking about where the money to buy the company comes from is a complicated thing. After all, many of the Carpenter's companies are already joint ventures, not owned by them. Even if there are more than two people involved in their company, it is a troublesome matter. Sometimes you have to listen to the opinion of the accountant, and in order to avoid taxes, you will withdraw funds from a certain company to make an investment or something.

Thinking of this, Alex felt that it was still necessary to establish an investment company, and if there was an acquisition of the company in the future, it could be handed over to this company to deal with. That way it won't be too complicated.
