"Can you create two series of novels at the same time?"

Alice laughed in silence and said, "Mr. Domingo, you are asking this question too unprofessional, right? We are not serializing articles in newspapers, writing some today and some tomorrow. Is there any urgent time limit?"

It seems that there are still geniuses in this world, Domingo couldn't help but sigh. The young girl not only achieved such dazzling achievements in the business field, but she could easily make it on the list, but she also didn't know much about the normality in the industry. It was true that geniuses always had outstanding personality and obvious style.

"The problem is Alice," he explained, "You said yourself, the total number of words in this novel is about 500,000. It would take at least a year for other authors to write a work that is 400 pages and 16 paper. You are not a full-time writer, and I believe that just creating these 500,000 words will take a long time."

Seeing Alice nodding humbly, Domingo said, "We haven't started reading your new book yet, and we can't put forward more detailed suggestions. But in this moment, we have reached a consensus that the eleven-year-old boy has lived in the magic campus for seven years, and seven works just run through the growth of a generation of teenagers. If you can't publish a book at an average rate of one book a year, this effect will be greatly reduced, right?"

It turns out that because of this factor, Alice's psychology did agree with it twelve points. You should know that looking at various novels in the global literary world, the thickness of the first book basically freezes the average number of words in the sequel. Now, the "original" "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" has achieved a score of 500,000 words in one book. Don't the following six books have to be of a unified thickness?

In the field of publishing literature, 500,000 words is undoubtedly a novel. It takes almost a year for any writer to polish it out. The seven-part plot takes seven years, and the efficiency is actually very fast. If you want to say that the editors of the bantam are not planning to extend the creative cycle at this moment, even primary school students cannot deceive them.

So, since such a series of works with a total number of words can reach 3.5 million, it will take a whole seven years to produce them. What kind of series of works should be added?

Everyone here knows very well that Alice is not a full-time writer.

"Alice, you must think about it." Brown repeatedly persuaded, for fear that the girl would not be able to control her brain, "Let's take a look at your work first, and then I promise, ah, I believe Domingo will definitely do this, we bantams will definitely run your work well. So Alice, don't conceive another novel while writing this book, otherwise we will be very troubled."

That's right, the editor can only urge writers to write at most. Who can stop him or her from conceiving a new book by himself? For a moment, the editors in the conference room quickly made similar speeches. Everyone was afraid that the girl who had not arrived at the age of 18 could not control her. She wrote this set of books and thought about another set. If she really did this, and eventually it would cause a difficult childbirth or even a broken finish, Alice herself didn't care. The whole publishing house would not cry to death?

"Hey, hey, you are all calm, all calm." Alice quickly raised her hand to block the sound of a blow-out around her, and said with a lot of laughter and crying: "I just just put forward an idea, and you haven't read my book yet. Hurry up, that's it, Brown, don't you still want to copy it? Click it quickly."

Brown quickly went out to work. He had not read the manuscript carefully, but he was deeply attracted by it by the title of "The Boy Who Evered the Misfortune". Of course, of course, the copying work was not something that a senior editor needed to do. After walking out of the conference room and looking around, he stared at an intern who was obviously in pain.

"Yo, Ed." Brown called him: "These manuscripts," thank Alice for dividing them by paper clips: "Print sixteen copies of the first chapter and send them to the conference room immediately, and then copy the first three chapters."

"Okay Mr. Brown," intern Ed took the manuscript excitedly: "Is that girl just now a very amazing writer? Is her name Alice?"

"Alice Wang, if you are interested, just check her works." Brown took off the manuscript and smiled: "But don't miss the direction. She is also an excellent entrepreneur at the same time."

The copying work began soon, and there was no idle in the conference room. Of course, everyone stopped talking about the work. Alice sat in the upper seat, telling everyone about what happened outside the office building this morning.

"Mr. Brown yelled, which scared me at that time." When Brown entered the door again, she heard her say: "I was wondering at that time. Could it be that someone was unable to think about it and wanted to jump off the building? Or did the Japanese really attack here? I..."

"Ahem," Brown, who entered the room interrupted the girl's nagging: "You just said that the Japanese attacked here? What does it mean?"

A word in an instant was caught. Seeing that everyone here looked very interested, Alice said without mind: "It's a purchase. In the past two years, the Japanese have bought a lot of real estate in our United States. How many hotels in Hawaii have fallen? Don't you think they will also take action against the Rockefeller Center?"

What a good guy, he is really a part-time writer and a full-time investment entrepreneur. Alice's words have been far enough.

But everyone accepted it quickly. An editor in the corner pondered: "It is indeed very likely that all of us know the value of the Rockefeller Center. The world's largest privately owned building complex made Midtown Manhattan the second downtown in New York after Wall Street, not to mention that it was just named a national historical landmark last year. The Japanese... There is really no reason not to be interested in it."

"Japanese...haha, let's talk about professionalism, Alice, you can actually write mystery novels in Japan. This is really amazing."

"Yes, yes, we have always wanted to ask, have you ever lived in Japan before? We have read the English translation of "After School" and it is written very delicately."

"The key is that the ending is the most unexpected! It turns out that someone really wants to kill the protagonist, but it is not the real murderer whom the whole text always thinks, but the protagonist's wife!"

"Actually, Alice has set a foreshadowing for a long time. Have you noticed that the protagonist's wife has limited appearances?"

The copying outside continued, and there were various discussions on another work by Alice in the house. However, the topic owner did not insert the conversation between everyone this time, but just kept the spirit quietly until the intern held a thick stack of hot manuscripts and entered the house to distribute it to everyone.

Then she had nothing to do with her. After chatting about various topics for a long time, it was finally time to read it. To be honest, the part-time girl who wrote three books casually easily became the best-selling writer and the winner of the Newcomer Award by relying on three types of stories. How could such a long magic series of a girl who is a genius not make these editors almost impatient to focus on the first page of the manuscript?

So, then there was a long period of silence.

Alice really had nothing to worry about. She slowly opened her bag, took out a Russian version of "Lolita" and started reading it.

Of course, this classic love story was created by Vladimir Nabokov when he was living in the United States, and the most widely circulated version was also in the English version. However, the author himself was a Russian man, and the earliest version was also affiliated with the Paris Olympia Press. Therefore, without considering what kind of language he was good at, Alice chose the Russian version as a collection without hesitation.

After all, this novel is really written very "international." Humbert, the protagonist who immigrated from France to America, always likes to chant long French phrases in the "text"; Lolita's name is actually the Spanish version of the girl's original name "Dorry-Hitz". Therefore, this novel can be read in any language. Anyway, the story itself is just a mess of confession from a mentally ill death row prisoner.

Time passed by little by little. Alice, who was not in a hurry to return to Los Angeles, read the novel with the editors of the Bantam. She watched her "Lolita", while others could not wait to watch "The Lost Glass", then the third chapter, and then the fourth chapter. Anyway, Alice expanded the "Magic Stone" nearly three times, and some of them could watch.

But what was more unexpected was that the editors finally came to their senses from the sea of ​​books, not all the articles were finished reading, but a middle-aged man pushing the door open.

"Gentlemen!" The person who came with a typical entrepreneurial temperament, wearing a well-textured suit, said as soon as he entered the door: "It's a big deal that happened to us today, you all come out quickly!"

Domingo came to his senses in surprise, put down the manuscript and looked at the manuscript, and said in surprise: "Mr. Grayson? Oh my god, why are you here?"

"Don't talk about those useless things, come out and watch the fun." The middle-aged man had not yet set his sights on Alice, but fell into his own mood: "Today there was a despicable high-altitude throwing incident downstairs, do you all know? nypd has found out who bought those Pizza Hut takeout!"

Seeing that everyone was gasping for breath, he announced the answer even more proudly and said, "The Korean Samsung branch upstairs is now going to be famous!"
Chapter completed!
