Rebirth in America

"In 1937, the British writer J.R.R. Tolkien published the first part of his series of novels about the Middle Ages - "The Hobbit". This was the first part of the "Lord of the Rings" series, and thus slowly started the fantasy world. The era of novels! The whole text is described in a way similar to a conversation, and the content of the story is similar to a children's book, so some people often regard it as a children's story and classify it as a fairy tale."

"Now it seems that this book is actually an adult fairy tale. Today, the American Bantam Company published a children's book written by children - "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone"! It is what everyone is talking about recently. 'Wizard' Alex Capente wrote it."

A novel critic was typing away on his typewriter as he wrote an article for The New Yorker. During this time, news about the Carpenter brothers was everywhere, whether on the radio or in newspapers. As a magazine that reflects the trends of the times, The New Yorker certainly cannot fall behind.

"This novel written by a so-called 'magic boy' is extremely childish and has no aesthetic appeal throughout. However, for eight-year-old Alex, this is already considered an 'excellent' writing. In addition to the novel setting, Some, what can be boasted is that the author's imagination is very powerful. But if there is no fantasy, it is still not enough to be compared with similar works such as "The Lord of the Rings" and "The Chronicles of Narnia"."

Bantam Books, as one of the top publishers in the United States, has very strong sales channels. In line with the recent popularity of the Carpenter brothers, this book has sold half a million copies as soon as it was released, and it is about to exceed one million copies!

Such sales volume makes many professional writing authors very envious. They also bought a copy one after another to see what the merits of such a book were. As soon as I flipped through it, I was stunned by Alex's colloquial writing style.

In this era without the Internet, the articles that can be printed and published are all carefully crafted. Even if the words in them are not exquisite, at least they are not written in such a naive and superficial way.

But the reality is so strange. Such a simple and easy-to-understand novel has been printed and printed again and again, and in just a few months, millions of copies have been sold! The book is still being printed in printing plants, and it is still unknown how many it will eventually sell.

It is said that this book is very popular among children. After they get it in their hands, they can't wait to read it in one sitting. Many children who have finished reading this novel will spontaneously take it to school to show it to other students, and play role-playing games simulating the scenes in the book during their breaks.

Some people criticize, and naturally some people praise!

Some more objective novel critics saw something interesting in this book. At first, their voices were too quiet to attract attention, and slowly, more and more people joined them.

"From the first page of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, readers will be infected and attracted by the mysterious atmosphere. The story begins on a gloomy Tuesday, with a strange origin of the 'Boy-Who-Lived' Harry ·Potter, lost his parents when he was one year old and was sent to a most ordinary citizen family."

"The beginning of the story tells about the male protagonist's grievance life experience like Cinderella. After being adopted by his uncle's house, he has been living in a cupboard at the top of the stairs, with spiders. The story is written very realistically from the beginning It’s touching, and you can quickly establish a connection with the protagonist, and you can naturally be drawn into the characters of the story!”

So wrote another novel critic, who was about to submit an article for a newspaper. When he first started, he frowned at such junior high school-level writing. Fortunately, the sentences were smooth and easy to understand, otherwise he would have put it aside long ago. When he didn't mind this kind of question, after reading a few chapters, the plot became more and more interesting, and he didn't expect to finish reading it in one sitting.

"The writing style is an issue, but if you think about it carefully, this kind of writing style is just right for a book for eight or nine-year-old children. The most important thing is that this kind of fantasy novel is what American children need now, and they like this kind of book."

At first, the reviews in the newspapers were mostly positive and negative, but the sales volume continued to increase. The market feedback was very good, and even "Lord of the Rings", which was selling very well at the time, had to give it three points.

Finally, fantasy master Tolkien noticed this book. After reading it carefully, he wrote an article himself: "It's very interesting. I look forward to writing the follow-up story soon."

As for another fantasy novel author, C.S. Lewis, he also wrote: "Oh my god, this is exactly the novel I want to read! I also really want to know the next story between Harry Potter and Voldemort!"

According to C.S. Lewis, this novel is more interesting than his "The Chronicles of Narnia".

C.S. Lewis once said: "People didn't write the books I wanted to read, so I had to write them myself." In this way, he wrote books that thousands of people wanted to read.

After receiving favorable comments from these two masters of fantasy novels, Alex finally gained some confidence in this novel, which was far from the original "Harry Potter". In fact, at the beginning, he was worried that his writing was not good enough. It would mess up Aunt Rowling's masterpiece. What I didn't expect was that he would be recognized by so many people.

Sometimes, when Alex's conspiracy theory breaks out, he will secretly think: "Maybe the great gods are trying to give Bantam Company face, so that's why they say that? After all, people carrying people in sedan chairs can't say bad things to each other, right?"

In any case, with the inspiration and urging from the master, he will take some time to write the second novel after recording. After all, he has the incredible ability of "complete memory". When he can't remember the plot or gets stuck while writing, he will close his eyes and watch the Harry Potter series of movies again.

When he wrote this time, he was no longer as casual as before. He only wanted to improve his writing skills so as to silence the critics who said his writing skills were poor.

After he had written tens of thousands of words, he looked back and said, "Holy crap! What the hell is this! It doesn't feel good at all. Will anyone read a novel that makes people feel uncomfortable after reading it?"

After all, he is a reader who has been influenced by a lot of online articles. Alex really can't stand the so-called "snowy" tone! In a rage, he discarded all the manuscripts he had written.

"I'm just a novice, so what? Some people just like to see you biting my penis!" Alex cursed through gritted teeth and continued to write in vernacular what he felt like in his heart.

In this way, the second novel in the Harry Potter series - "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" was quickly completed. The speed was so fast that he even surprised himself.

The setting still uses his previous magical world background, and he also specially highlights a major feature of online novels, which is killing monsters and upgrading! This was a major breakthrough in an era when computer games had not yet appeared and tabletop games had not yet become popular in the world. In order to perfect this feature and allow readers to better understand this concept, Alex also specially made character cards of important characters in the book.

Alex said to himself: "Well, now that we have the character cards, how about we take advantage of the situation and get the game rules of Dungeons and Dragons?"

"Forget it, the workload is not small! Besides, if I spend time doing those things, how can I still have time to make money!" In the end, Alex gave up. The input-output ratio was too small and not worth it.

"When you have time and money in the future, organize people to do it!" After Alex made up his mind, he never thought about this problem again.

He spent several more days revising the manuscript, correcting some unreasonable aspects, or laying down some inconspicuous foreshadowings. After doing all this, he called Karl, the editor in charge, and asked him to pick up the novel manuscript.

After all, Alex is now a "big writer" and has a best-selling work. You still have the privilege of asking the editor in charge to come and pick up the manuscript.

"What? You've already written the second part?" Carl was shocked when he received the call. He originally planned to find an opportunity to chat with Alex about how to write later. Unexpectedly, the other party had already written the relevant information before he had prepared it.

When Karl got the manuscript and read it quickly, he was finally convinced. The style of this book is still the same as the previous one, and it also makes people feel so happy to read it.

"What a masterpiece! I was so nervous that my palms were dripping with sweat!" Carl was already attracted by this unique and refreshing writing. He had never seen anyone write like this before. The plot in the book kept readers constantly entertained. Being in a sense of refreshment, like the tide coming one after another.

"Then please follow up on the publishing of the new book!" After Alex received Karl's approval, he no longer wanted to deal with it. He still had a lot of recording work to do.

Upon seeing this, Karl quickly talked about the sales of the first book. However, Alex really had no interest in this. He was just trying to get the first pot of gold when he wrote the book, but he failed.

Now I have made money through music, UU read www.uukanshu. net So he doesn't really care about the sales of the books he wrote before.

However, this book did bring him a lot of money, and he even had to share the share of the first record. However, it is still unlikely to get the money. Faced with the money he still couldn't get, Alex lacked interest.

"Then, I'll take my leave first!" Seeing Alex's depressed state, Carl immediately stopped the topic and left with the manuscript.

Alex found it more annoying. He was tortured to death by Mark's critical work attitude. According to his idea, he only needs to record his most perfect performance, and leave the rest of the work to the producer and tuner.

What I didn't expect was that Mark, this guy, didn't know what kind of stimulation he got, so he had to strive for excellence and record repeatedly. Originally, it was normal to do this. Most of the people who succeeded in making music were perfectionists like this. For example, Michael Jackson and John Lennon are both representatives of this type of people.

It's a pity that Alex Carpenter is not such a person. He felt that as long as he could get by, that would be fine. What's more, when he was at his best, the quality of his recordings was definitely much higher than most of this era. Mark, however, wants to be picky and must achieve absolute perfection. Usually it's the other person who falls short, causing Alex to suffer along with him.

When he started making music, he just wanted to make money. Now he seems to be making a lot of money, and he doesn't care about it that much anymore. He is already thinking about how to use the money in his hands to make more money.
