In the warm and bright living room of the Su family, the robot Suning walked in with a suitcase in a hurry, walked around, and was disappointed to find that his son was not at home.
Instead, it saw a pair of golden little tiger decorations on the old coffee table in the living room at a glance, a row of brand-new gold tableware on the dining table, and a few bald and broken soil flowerpots on the window sill were also replaced with A beautiful porcelain white top grade flowerpot.
In the moment, just stay for a while.
Then, suddenly remembering the huge red envelope received from his son in the communicator, Suning couldn't help but put his heart in his throat.
Did your son get rich overnight? !
Then will he be a rich dad in the future [smiling]
Just as he was thinking, the door of the house was pushed open suddenly, several big and full shopping bags were stuffed in, and then—
"Abba!"
Surprised and delighted, Su Tan put down the shopping bag in his hand, almost tripped, rushed over quickly, and hugged Suning tightly and warmly.
With so much force, it almost knocked it down.
Feeling the warm and scorching embrace, the father of the robot felt as if a small stove had been ignited in his heart. It was extremely ironing, tears filled his eyes, and long-suppressed thoughts and concerns welled up from the bottom of his heart.
With a sound of "bang", it hugged back fiercely, hugging the son tightly.
"A Tan!"
I almost thought I would never see my son again.
The robot Suning's chest is hot and slightly hot, but he has never felt such a powerful and steady beating in his chest. Under Dr. Shu's operation, its old and degraded body was completely replaced, and he never felt it again. The feeling of suffocation of the heartbeat and loss of strength.
And all these efforts made quietly behind his son's back finally lived up to expectations and were successfully completed.
Seeing Abba suddenly, Su Tan was overwhelmed with surprise, almost speechless, but his eyes turned red unconsciously.
Looking at the equally moved father, he raised the corners of his lips, tried his best to adjust the atmosphere, and joked with a full smile: "Abba, why did you take a honeymoon trip? You have become so much younger?"
He looked up and smiled carefully at Su Ning's face, and found that it was full of energy and radiant. It was countless times younger than before leaving home. It was obviously in a very good mood, not the appearance he had mistakenly thought he had entered the hospital.
Immediately, Su Tan couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, and the teasing was even more relaxed and happy. With a smile on his face, he quickly glanced at the robot's father's belly, and asked with a smile, "Where is the baby?" ?”
Hearing this, Su Ning couldn't stop his cheeks from burning hot, as if his fingertips were bubbling with steam.
It suddenly felt a little shy, and looked back at Dr. Shu who was at the side of the living room, "Da da, come out to see brother."
Su Tan:? ?
He held his breath unconsciously, and saw a small head slowly protruding from behind Dr. Shu, perplexed and shy, grabbing Shu Heng's trouser legs, a little shy, and ignorantly following Suning with a milky voice. :"elder brother?"
In an instant, a stream of warmth and surprise hit Su Tan's heart.
Then, he couldn't help curling the corners of his lips, his brows and eyes were stretched and gentle, and he walked over, and saw the little robot shy away from Shu Heng again when he saw the stranger, and was hugged by Doctor Shu.
"This is your brother, da da."
The name is taken from the children's story "Unlucky Amy" written by Su Tan. The image of the little robot Da Da is very popular and lovable. The most wanted childhood friend in the eyes of children.
Suning was moved by Su Tan's use of it as a prototype to create such a lovable robot character, so after discussing with Dr. Shu, he decided to name his youngest son DaDa as a commemoration.
At this moment, the little robot DaDa in Dr. Shu's arms and Su Tan looked at each other face to face and at close range, and saw DaDa blushing suddenly.
Su Tan couldn't help laughing, and gently held the warm rubber-plastic shell of the other party's fingers with his slender fingers, and asked with a clear smile, "Want to play games?"
Seeing that the eyes of the little robot suddenly lit up, he was ashamed and couldn't hide his curiosity and anticipation, and subconsciously nodded vigorously.
At that moment, Su Tan smoothly led his new brother to play together.
In the evening, the robot Suning rolled up his sleeves and worked enthusiastically, cooking a table of sumptuous dishes, which whetted Su Tan's appetite and made him feel satisfied.
No matter how good the five-star cuisine in the Imperial City Hotel is, it can't compare to the delicious home-cooked dishes carefully prepared by Abba.
Su Tan ate comfortably, so she obediently stood by the table, seeing his expression of enjoying, she couldn't help but tiptoed to look at the table eagerly.
The cute and cute movements immediately made Su Tan couldn't help laughing.
He chuckled and asked, "Want to eat?"
"Yeah!" Da Da nodded vigorously, afraid that he would not see him, but now he was no longer afraid of his brother, and only looked at him expectantly.
Immediately, Su Tan couldn't help but smile and filled a small bowl of fragrant and delicious sparerib soup with a small bowl, and handed it to him, letting him smell the taste to satisfy his hunger.
Da Da was full of joy, subconsciously opened his mouth wide.
"ah-"
But suddenly, being picked up from behind by someone, left the ribs far away.
The little robot immediately had tears in his eyes, reluctant to part with him.
Su Ning comforted: "You can't eat this, let's go to eat. Dad rewarded you with double power bank today, are you happy?"
However, Da Da still couldn't bear to leave. He stared straight at Su Tan and the pork rib soup in his hand, and suddenly his eyes were red, and he called softly: "Brother."
Su Tan's heart trembled, and he was suddenly stabbed in the heart by this soft and attached voice. "Abba, give it to me, I'll take care of my brother."
With that said, he put down the bowl, and took the little robot in Suning's arms with one hand. Then, under the astonished eyes of Dad, he placed the little robot on his lap steadily, and held up the fragrant and hot pork rib soup bowl and handed it to Da Da.
Da Da rubbed his brother's hand shyly and happily, then tried to get closer to the pork rib soup and smelled delicious, with a satisfied expression on his face.
Robot Dad: "..."
With such an elder brother who dotes on his younger brother, how will he discipline his younger son in the future [laughing and crying]
It is different to have a little doll at home. DaDa is a small growing robot, implanted with the memory codes of his two fathers, and has been very close to Suning and Shu Heng since birth.
But after arriving at Su's house, the closest thing it gets to is his older brother Su Tan, whom he has never seen before. No matter where he goes, he likes to follow Su Tan by the hem of his clothes, taking small staggering steps, trying to keep up with his brother.
When the "Guilia Children's Stories" magazine came to the door, what I saw was that Su Tan was sitting and playing with a small robot on a thick and comfortable long-haired carpet.
Both of them were wearing warm turtleneck sweaters, one big and one small, with wide smiles, talking and laughing with incomparable comfort.
The scene of intimacy and warmth reminded David, the editor-in-chief of the magazine, of his little grandson, who is also full of energy every day, loves to laugh, loves to make trouble, and is very clingy.
Especially after "Unlucky Amy" was published in "Children" magazine, the little grandson's favorite game every day is to listen to his grandpa reading storybooks to him, even if he listens to it a hundred times or a thousand times, he will never get tired of it.
Thinking of this, David smiled. The middle-aged David wore a peaked cap, which suppressed his slightly curly hair and a pair of vicissitudes of life.
As the editor who first discovered the contribution of "Unlucky Amy", an excellent children's literary work, he has been promoted to the position of editor-in-chief of the editorial department of "Children" magazine. It is even more meaningful for Si to come to find Su Tan together.
Su Tan served hot tea for the two of them, sat down with his younger brother Da Da, and found that the shy little robot quietly clenched his fingers behind his back.
He couldn't help smiling, and shook it back.
Chairman Fergus smiled kindly at the two of them, and briefly introduced: "Su Tan, your novel has been well received, and it is now deeply loved by residents of Geulia."
Hearing this, Su Tan nodded, and he had a realization in his heart from the scene he saw at the hot and enthusiastic convenience store magazine sales point yesterday.
However, as soon as David opened his mouth, he said that the sales of popular magazines still exceeded his expectations.
"Last month, the sales volume of "Guilia Children's Stories" has exceeded 10 million copies."
As soon as the words fell, Su Tan couldn't help raising his eyebrows in surprise.
The population of the entire planet Gelia is only 30 million, and the sales volume of the magazine is 10 million a month, almost every family has a copy. "Unlucky Amy" really became popular among all people.
Not only children and parents, but also won the love of a large number of Geulian students, office workers and the elderly, and has become a well-known children's story book.
This result far exceeded Su Tan's expectation.
Come to think of it, the support of the Guilia Literary Committee behind Chairman Fergus is indispensable.
He thanked the two of them, and was even more curious about their reason for coming today. This time, Fergus and David looked at each other and smiled tacitly.
David, the editor-in-chief of "Children" magazine, answered with a smile: ""Unlucky Amy" is so popular, readers are eager to request an animation, so we are here today to discuss the animation adaptation with you. "
This proposal greatly exceeded Su Tan's expectation.
"Animation adaptation?" He asked in surprise. Even his younger brother Da Da, who was hiding behind him, couldn't help tilting his head and looking out.
Seeing the scene of one big and one small, David couldn't help laughing. He introduced unhurriedly: "Yes. Now there is word of mouth, popularity, and the love of a large number of readers. The largest animation production company in Gelia has also found our magazine and wants to cooperate with you. I think, this Very good proposal."
Although "Unlucky Amy" was published in "Guilia Children's Stories", the copyright still belongs to Su Tan's creator himself.
Whether it is animation development or adaptation, it can only be carried out with his own consent.
Fergus and David came together because they wanted to make this happen as soon as possible. They hoped that the animation would be released before the New Year in Gelia, bringing more joy and festivities to countless families of adults and children.
Su Tan thought for a while, then nodded in agreement.
"I think, I have no reason to refuse." He smiled and replied in a clear voice, bending his lips.
He chose to publish "Unlucky Amy" because he wanted more people to see this lively, interesting and humorous children's work. Unexpectedly, this work was deeply loved by the residents of Guilia.
Therefore, if there is a chance to change the animation, he will naturally agree, even if it is to satisfy the wishes of the readers, he thinks it is worth it.
Hearing his answer, both Fergus and David smiled at the same time. David smiled and said: "Before the animation, I am afraid that there are many magazines and societies who want to rush to publish this children's story. You will be busy recently."
Publishing, animation, and transformation into film and television works have always been a one-stop process. The countless details and signing matters need to be handled carefully, and it is best to have professionals check it out.
Looking at the big one and the small one in front of him, the big one still can't escape the fresh and clean temperament of the young man, and is the easiest to be deceived by insiders.
Fergus gently reminded: "Su Tan, you should find an agent."
After seeing off Chairman Fergus and editor David, Su Tan played with his younger brother for another whole afternoon, when snowflakes began to fall silently outside the window.
When Su Tan noticed, the outside was already covered with snow, and the shrubs in the small garden were covered with a thin layer of snow.
The father of the robot hurried in with a basket of gifts from the neighbor's house, patted the falling snow on his coat vigorously, and smiled energetically at the two sons: "Just now I went to the neighbor's house to give a gift, I didn't expect them to give it to you." I have kept good tea leaves, let’s soak them and taste them.”
After brewing a pot of hot tea, the aroma is tangy and refreshing. With the hot berry pie made by Suning, while enjoying the snow scene by the window, it makes people feel extremely comfortable and comfortable.
Su Tan turned on his communicator, logged into his long-lost Weibo account with the real name "Su Tan", and found that the private messages inside were extremely lively. Several publishing houses and film and television companies sent private messages one after another, hoping to obtain the authorization of "Unlucky Amy".
Among them, there are many well-known large companies in Gelia.
And one of the private messages is quite eye-catching.
"Hello, I'm Lance Calder, a professional brokerage agent, do you need a broker to cooperate with?"
The words were concise and powerful, which aroused Su Tan's curiosity in no time.
He clicked on Lance Calder's Weibo, and found that the style inside was just like the other party's succinct speaking style. The entire Weibo page was neat and rigorous, revealing a solemn demeanor inadvertently, not a flashy, strong-willed person.
In the past Weibo, some book information about contracted agents was posted, clearly listing the other party's qualifications and achievements. Su Tan browsed through them one by one, and couldn't help but marvel.
He found that Lance Calder was not an exaggeration. He had been in the publishing and entertainment industry for many years, and he was indeed a senior and capable agent.
But how did he notice himself
The fire of "Unlucky Amy" only made him famous in Gelia, an inconspicuous third-level agricultural country planet in the empire. However, outside of Gelia, many netizens heard about it in a hurry. With his name on it, there's only a handful who love each new edition of the Geulia Children's Stories e-book.
Even, the author's name "Su Tan" is not as loud and popular as "I paint braised pork every day".
Ordinarily, such a small achievement and popularity should not be favored by the well-known and extremely low-key senior brokerage agent in the imperial capital, but he did not expect that the other party would take the initiative to contact him.
Su Tan was surprised, but suddenly became interested, and replied in a private message: "Can we meet and discuss in detail?"
Two hours later, Su Tan arrived at a small, warm cafe on the street. They agreed to meet here.
When he had just ordered two cups of hot coffee, he suddenly saw the door of the cafe being pushed open, and a middle-aged man walked in, covered in wind and frost, surrounded by the whistling wind and snow outside the door, and he laughed dumbfounded in his heart.
Until the other party sat down in front of him, the smile on the corner of his lips was still a little unstoppable, he bent his lips and teased: "I didn't expect that we are so destined."
The person sitting opposite was the man who happened to help him pay the bill at the starship restaurant the week before.
Lance Calder nodded calmly. The shoulders of his well-crafted long overcoat were wet from the wind and snow, but he didn't appear to be in the slightest distress. He looked to be over forty years old, and his tight jaw was a little stern and solemn, but there was a meticulous, serious and focused temperament on his body, which made people feel good about him suddenly.
This is a gentleman, and a gentleman who is extremely strict with himself.
Su Tan suddenly felt something in his heart, pushed the cup of hot coffee he just ordered to the other party's hand, and asked with a smile: "I remember, you once told the waiter on the starship that you are my book fan?"
"Yes." Lance Calder admitted frankly in a low voice.
Hearing the other party's calm answer, Su Tan chuckled, suddenly a little curious. "Which one of my works do you like the most?"
Seeing Lance Calder pondering for a while, the answer had already surfaced in his heart.
""Elf"."
This answer surprised Su Tan even more, he couldn't help smiling in surprise and raising his brows slightly.
After "Unlucky Amy" came out, many readers rushed to be attracted by this eloquent work full of strong Goliath country leisure style. With the lively and funny little protagonist and the robot friends laughing and making troubles in daily life, the children's literature work of "Unlucky Amy" is becoming more and more popular.
On the contrary, Su Tan's first short story "The Elf", which won the first prize in the Georgia Literary Competition, was gradually forgotten by readers, and was overshadowed by "Unlucky Amy".
At this time, hearing that Lance Calder's favorite work was "Elf", Su Tan couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips, his dark eyes were bright and cheerful, shining brightly.
However, he never thought that the other party's words were not limited to this. Lance Calder quietly said another title—
"Also, Jianghu Entertainment Weekly."
Su Tan:! ! !
He was extremely astonished and caught off guard. The author name of "Su Tan" and "Daily Brush Braised Pork" have always been clearly distinguished. One specializes in online novels, and the other publishes physical works in Guilia in a low-key way. Except for family members and big cousins, there are almost no People know the connection.
Whether it is Weibo or pseudonym, they are managed separately, and even the readership rarely overlaps.
How did Lance Calder discover his identity
Su Tan was surprised, thoughtful, but his clear eyes suddenly deepened.
Seeing his slightly guarded posture, Lance Calder pursed his lips and smiled helplessly. He took a sip of the hot coffee, and the bitter aroma immediately permeated his mouth. It is the most comfortable ironing in such a cold winter day.
Lance looked calm and explained in a calm tone: "It's also a coincidence. When I was sorting out the latest hot novel authors this year, I paid attention to your two pseudonyms at the same time, and found clues to the subtleties from the subtle details."
He raised the corners of his lips, showing his first gentle smile since entering the door, and comforted him: "Whether we can reach an agreement or not, I will keep the secret for you, so you don't have to worry."
His expression was calm, his tone was low but unexpectedly firm, and his professional and calm demeanor made Su Tan feel a little relieved.
After discussing in detail, I found that the other party really has a deep understanding of novels and literary works. With a few concise and clear words, I can accurately find the advantages of my novels, and explain the follow-up copyright treatment method in a clear and clear way. .
Not only his professionalism is impressive, but Su Tan's admiration for his keen judgment.
Unknowingly, he was attracted by the erudite and deep conversation of the other party, and then he was determined to hire Lance as his manager.
"I hope we can have a happy cooperation in the future." Under the lamp of the warm and dim small cafe, Su Tan stood up, shook hands with the other party, and reached an agreement.
I saw that Lance Calder's tight jaw finally relaxed a little, and a smile appeared on his face, "Have a nice cooperation."
Lance's rich qualifications and experience have conquered Su Tan, but this can't help but make him even more curious. Before leaving the house, he asked suspiciously: "Where is your former contracted author? Why did you find me?"
A professional work agent like Lance Calder basically signs a one-on-one contract with the author, and is fully responsible for the publication, novel, copyright, publicity, etc. of the author who signed the contract.
If the agent and the author want to cooperate seamlessly and form a tacit understanding, it often takes a very long period of time, and a successful author also requires a lot of hard work and energy from the agent.
Therefore, between the two parties, it is usually not easy to replace and dismiss. A good agent can even concentrate on being in charge of an author for decades from beginning to end, until his death.
Therefore, it is not surprising that Su Tan asked this question, but he did not expect Lance to be stunned for the first time when he heard this question, and then there was a helpless bitterness in his eyes.
It can be seen that the inside story is complicated and tortuous, and it is not humane.
Su Tan tacitly withdrew his mouth, said goodbye and left.
It's late at night outside, and the dim and warm small cafe is like a peaceful harbor in the snowy night where the storm is howling, and people's tense mood slowly relaxes unconsciously.
Watching Su Tan go out in the wind and snow, a tall and slender man who was waiting on the other side of the cafe wrapped her tightly in a thick and warm coat, got into the car and left together.
The car stepped on the accumulated snow and drove out of his sight. Lance Calder just returned to his seat again. The warm coffee cup in front of him was already a bit cold. He sat silently for a long time, watching the snowy scene outside the window in the silent night, and suddenly smiled wryly. Bitter.
Su Tan's words reminded Lance of those muddy days.
He is a senior agent who has worked in the industry for many years. He has a lot of contacts in the publishing industry and the film and television industry. He was even more fortunate to sign a contract with a very potential author, and single-handedly trained him to become the most popular published author.
With the tacit understanding of getting along day and night, the relationship between the two gradually warmed up. Joan is a few years younger, he loves to talk, laugh and show his temper. He lives a wanton and unrestrained life. Lance mostly spoils him and takes care of his basic necessities of life.
Unexpectedly, many years of love can't be worth a moment of fame and fortune. The person he has cared for for many years suddenly turns into the arms of others and marries into a wealthy family. A knife was stabbed in the ground, and the pain pierced the heart.
Not only that, the wealthy family that Joan married into hated his rich and affectionate relationship history very much, so they used ruthless methods to make things difficult for Lance and force him to stay away from the imperial capital.
Lance was depressed, but he couldn't tolerate his own embarrassment, lingering on his last breath under the pressing power of the opponent.
He simply packed his luggage neatly and embarked on the nearest interstellar airline flight.
Lance slightly closed his bitter eyes, and when he opened them again, it was clear. He reached for his coat, put it on, and walked out of the cafe against the wind and snow.
The cold wind was bitter, and the swift and violent snowflakes mixed with the gust of wind blew on the face, like ice blades slashing, which was extremely painful.
Lance's footsteps are calm and firm, and he travels far in the wind and snow.
The past is over, and he wants to start a new future.
imperial capital—
In the early morning, in the old house of the Gu family, Gu Qin got up early and went to the study to review the documents. When the housekeeper respectfully came to ask him to have breakfast, Gu Qin finally stopped writing.
At this moment, the communicator suddenly rang, and the familiar ringtone made Gu Qin's cold eyebrows stretch, and he pressed the connect button.
"A Tan?"
As soon as he opened his mouth, he suddenly heard a voice with a pleasant smile coming from the communicator, "Brother, wait a minute."
Gu Qin was puzzled, looked at the screen, and suddenly saw a cute and soft little robot being hugged in front of the camera, his fleshy arm was raised and waved, Su Tan's clear and smiling voice said from behind: "Call me brother."
Da Da was cute and dazed, obediently and shyly called out: "Brother."
Suddenly, Gu Qin on the side of the communicator couldn't help but smile at the corner of his lips. He coughed lightly, and his quiet black eyes looked at the camera gently, making the shy and curious little robot Da Da couldn't help but look at him a few more times.
Su Tan held his younger brother in his arms, and introduced with a smile: "This is my father's son, my new younger brother." His lacquered eyes slightly raised up, and there was a relaxed and happy smile between his brows and eyes, which made Gu Qin There was a little bit of envy in my heart.
Tens of thousands of light years apart, why doesn't he want to get along with Su Tan day and night, as close as the two brothers in the camera.
But it never occurred to Su Tan to chuckle, with a clear and clean voice, and asked with a smile on his face, "Brother, Dad asked if you have time to celebrate the New Year with us?"
Hearing this, Gu Qin was taken aback. Suddenly, the smile on his lips rose, and he nodded calmly and said, "Okay."
In my heart, it suddenly warmed up.
After hanging up the communication, Gu Qin thought for a while, then tapped his slender and strong fingers on the table, making a soft sound.
The butler of the Gu family stood respectfully aside, his eyes lowered to the ground in silence.
Suddenly, Gu Qin's eyes were calm and firm, and he said slowly: "I have booked a ticket to Guilia for the New Year, and I will go there to celebrate the New Year."
Butler: "Okay!"
He agreed quickly, with great interest, and seemed happier than Gu Qin, and suggested in an excited tone: "Master, should we bring the chef, gardener, and servants to see the young master? We haven't seen each other for so long. When it comes to the young master, everyone in the Gu family misses it very much. Many servants think that they can't take good care of the young master who is away from home, and they all shed tears and can't eat."
Gu Qin's eyes froze.
... You all graduated from the Imperial Film and Television Academy, right
