The Goddess Shines on America

Two flowers bloomed, one for each branch. Just when Alice began to make suggestions for the development of Cisco, the entire American literary world was also quietly changing.

"Jurassic Park", the out-of-the-box novel, has been on the New York Times bestseller list for a long time since its release last November.

In fact, as early as the 1930s, this bestseller list had been criticized for a long time. It seems to have a gift of divine magic, which crowns a book, good or bad, and attracts all kinds of readers. But in fact, many people can feel a little ambiguity from the official reply of the newspaper.

"We select some book dealers across the country and use the data they provide to make a ranking. As for who these dealers are, we can't say."

Of course, there are many benefits of being on the list, and everyone from publishing companies to the general public is staring at it. If a writer is the author of fictional works and is on the list, he will have a steady stream of manuscripts and reprints for a period of time. And if it is non-fiction, especially business-related, will there be less lectures, training, and consulting in the future? Being on the list means more exposure, higher prestige, etc., there is no doubt about it.

Therefore, at this time, a kind of secret business appeared, that is, cleaning the list.

To briefly summarize the steps, the first step is to find a book laundering company and pay them. Then pay again, this time to pay for the books, and then the company started to help launder the books. Of course, it is impossible for writers to buy in bulk by themselves, so the company's approach is to hire workers across the United States, use their own methods at major distributors, and use different shipping and payment addresses to buy books. In this way, "single consumption" rather than "mass purchase" is completed.

Then, the writer who washed the list has already succeeded as a best-selling author, and is qualified to show an elder smile on the list...

Therefore, when a newcomer and new book like "Jurassic Park" was released suddenly, many book companies and people in the industry continued to issue statements, claiming that the author of the book, Alice Wang, must have been washed out of the list, otherwise how could it have been on the list? Stay alone for so long?

It stands to reason that at this time the writers themselves should show up, whether it is to refute the other party's speech, or to emphasize their innocence, even if they admit that they have indeed been washed out of the list, they should generally show up. After all, people like writers are very interested in fame, and no matter what the name is, as long as it is famous... it must be to promote sales, right?

But what surprised everyone in the industry was that the writer was really... very different.

I only left my personal name on the book, not even a photo, let alone an introduction; there was no book launch event, no on-site signing activities, and some were just the standard smiling faces of salespeople; I did not accept any interviews, interviews, or information programs , although the work itself is constantly being reprinted, and even the overseas version has been translated into several versions...

But all interested people were surprised to find that the writer was completely invisible.

Even Bantam made an official statement, saying that the other party is indeed a very low-key person. There is only one editor in the company to contact her, and the other party has almost handed over all the specific matters to the company.

Of course, many media have also made many speculations, such as "Ghost Story" not long ago, many media are comparing the director with the writer. They didn't show up, they all had only one name, and the names were all the same, and even the crew members once revealed that they were actually a little girl...

However, the sensation is the sensation, since the other party still did not show up despite this, any gossip will disappear with the passage of time, and can only stay on the page for a while.

However, people in the entire entertainment industry still remember her, the almost mysterious Alice Wang in their hearts.

"Hey, have you heard, that girl has a new book out again."

"The author of Jurassic Park? It's not surprising. After all, this book has been on the bestseller list for so long. What does she have?"

"Bantam's first promo, a vampire love story, and a suspense thriller!"

"Are you kidding, who would fall in love with a monster like a vampire!? Are you sure you're not mistaken, it wasn't an evil vampire who robbed the demon hunter's protagonist's fiancée?"

"It's absolutely true! And it seems to be... the atmosphere of a young first love. Anyway, just go and see it!"

This type of dialogue was first spread in the small half of the American book industry. God knows how many people in the industry are staring at the rankings. They have been coveting Alice's next novel for a long time. When Bantam Books finally released the news, countless bees focused their attention on it as if smelling the most fragrant flower in the world.

Harry is one of them.

"God, why am I so stupid, why don't I just let the bookstore mail it to my door next time?"

One afternoon, Harry, who had just woken up, was walking on the streets of Manhattan, complaining, while walking towards the Target bookstore. The sandals, flowered shorts and cartoon T-shirt are not very eye-catching, but any passer-by who sees his flowing mid-length hair that smells of sweat has to stay away.

"I have to go out as soon as I get up...Why should I go out obediently. Oh damn, isn't it just to avoid getting up early to earn credits early, why should I make trouble for myself?"

Although he complained, when Harry finally walked to the door of the target bookstore, the sleepy-eyed Harry immediately widened his eyes.

Just at the door, a half-person-high roll-up banner is painted with misty white snow, and a boy and a girl stand with their backs, forming an extremely beautiful picture. Just below the layout of the roll-up, the designer unexpectedly chose bright red English fonts to form a title with a slightly dark effect.

Let-the-right-one-in, by-Alice-Wong.

This is the girl's new book, Harry frowned: "Didn't it mean vampire love? What are two boys and girls standing together?"

Of course, there are more than one or two people who think like this. Just as Harry finished speaking, another person stood beside him: "I found it, Alice has finally published a new book! The love of vampires, haha, think about it." That's cool!"

Harry looked at the man, who was a typical black hippie: "Cool? You already know what this book is about?"

The hippie glared at him: "Oh man, what are you kidding, do you see that I have a trifold in my hand? Or do you think I am Alice's boyfriend who has read her unpublished manuscript Oh man, if you really think I'm Alice's boyfriend, I won't deny it, but..."

Harry hurried into the bookstore.

"Hey Mom, what does that mean?"

The first floor of the bookstore was full of people. As soon as Harry entered, he heard a little blond girl next to him pointing to the top section of the inner page and asking a sentence.

Harry saw its contents keenly.

【Oscar, if I wasn't a girl, would you still like me? 】

The girl then asked, "Why would she say she's not a girl?"

The mother smiled slightly, touched her daughter's head and said, "This means that the girl is a vampire, and there is a racial barrier with that boy. Look, Emily, if you are a vampire and you fall in love with Would you ask a question like this if you lost a little human boy?"

Little Emily was young, frowning and pouting, as if she was thinking about the deep mystery of the birth of the universe, with a face of embarrassment: "This... this... oh, it's really a headache!"

Harry snorted and walked by, picking up a trifold from the shelf.

Although he didn't know how the author came up with the idea, let alone how the plot would develop, Harry was really surprised when he saw this surprisingly long synopsis on the trifold.

"The year and month when the first heartbeat occurs is often earlier than we remember."

After the beautiful first sentence is the continuation.

"Many years later, Oscar may not care about who Abby is and how their future will end, but he will always remember the moonlit night when they first met. Her small and thin figure, long black hair, and cold and bright eyes , Let a warm current rise suddenly in his estimated long-lasting heart."

"Estimates are something that some people are born with, and only estimates create stories."

"She only appears at night. It's cold and windy, but she only wears a thin pink dress. Her skin is as thin as celadon, like a child, but her behavior is old and vicissitudes. She is so beautiful and pure, but she often exudes a A foul stench."

"Oscar was strongly attracted by this weird girl, shared his most beloved Rubik's Cube with her, and taught her to communicate in Morse code, which only they could understand."

"Before we met, he was lonely and cowardly, shrinking under the shadow of campus violence. She was lonely and stubborn, struggling in the world in panic and panic. For the first time, he felt the happiness that was cherished by others, and she also learned from him. Feel the warmth and attachment in the world.”

"Oscar noticed Abby's occasional ferocity. He marveled at her amazing beauty and abnormal aging. He was sad because of her estrangement, and angry because of her avoidance. He didn't expect that the horrific murders that appeared in the small town were all related to those around him. This little pixie-like girl."

"A secret that has been buried for two hundred years is finally coming to light."

Standing on the first floor of a bookstore full of people, Harry was surrounded by people wandering around, but looking at the almost beautiful little articles on the tri-fold, Harry couldn't help but sink in.

"This story... is not simple!"
