It was a little hot in the early summer afternoon, but An Nanxiu's delicate skin was still soft and moist, not soaked in sweat. She hugged the Tyrannosaurus rex ant tightly in one hand, and handed the other hand to Li Rou.
Usually An Nanxiu is used to walking slowly, quietly and calmly, but Li Rou feels that she is a little wobbly today, always moving her heels forward, backward, left, and right. I don't know why she walks like this, maybe she is in a good mood
Li Rou only hoped that her good mood could last forever, he didn't have much confidence in her manuscript.
He has not actually read her novel, and she has no intention of showing it to him, but Concubine Mi has. Judging from Concubine Mi's description, it is obvious that An Nanxiu's description is to make readers hate the protagonist and the second female lead. There is a sense of substitution.
Li Banzhuang also said that An Nanxiu's article is a narcissistic and unscrupulous bragging.
Generally, such interviews often mean that the author's manuscript can be seen, but this does not mean that it has passed the review and can really talk about things like contracted publishing fees.
But this is only for other people. If the editor calls the author, and then says that you can’t do it here, you need to change it there. If this method is used on An Nanxiu, Li Rou feels that something will happen.
Before arriving at the publishing house, Li Rou raised his head and looked at it. The front door was very imposing. Du Li's office building was not an ordinary private publishing house, and it might have an official background. Now Li Rou is a little relieved. If it is a private company, if they don’t pay you, Li Rou has nothing to do, and it’s embarrassing to force others, but if it’s a state-owned company, it’s easy to say.
Li Rou doesn't have much indignation about wasting national resources. After all, sister Qiao changes cars every three days. Except for the Audi that is on a mission, she is now driving a Maserati gts. There are too many cars that have been changed, let alone that one. No one knows, but it is comparable to a department that consumes military expenditures.
Check in at the front desk, then meet the editor and talk in the reception room.
The editor is a woman in her early thirties, surnamed Xu, Xu Xiaosi, white and fat, wearing a pair of glasses, making people feel like the kind of person who sits in front of the computer and immerses himself in reading and writing novels.
This editor doesn't seem to be a big name in the publishing house. She pours water and receives An Nanxiu and Li Rou by herself.
"You're the one who answered the phone, and you're the one who wrote the novel?" Xu Xiaosi looked at Li Rou, then at An Nanxiu, and laughed.
"Yes, I am her guardian. She is not yet of age." Li Rou also smiled. An Nanxiu is still on his family's household registration book, and he is indeed the guardian in terms of legal relationship. An Nanxiu completely ignored this meaningless inquiry, just sat there with her ant in her arms, watching the tea leaves rolling up and down in the tea.
"Since the title of your book is "Beating the Sister", have you read the book "Beating the Princess"?" Xu Xiaosi said to Li Rou and An Nanxiu at the same time. The reception room is the facade, displaying many works of the publishing house , including "Beating the Princess", Xu Xiaosi took the book and put it in front of Li Rou and An Nanxiu.
"I've read it." Li Rou nodded. An Nanxiu probably wrote this book after reading it. What is commendable is that An Nanxiu didn't make a big fuss at that time, but chose to write a book himself. She can bear to ridicule Li Banzhuang in this way, since she discovered the book, she has been writing her own silently, only responding to Li Zi's provocation through her own book.
An Nanxiu didn't answer, but Xu Xiaosi didn't pay much attention to it, because she already had the answer in her heart, but she just looked at An Nanxiu's appearance and became more and more puzzled.
"Don't keep looking at me." An Nanxiu raised her head and said annoyedly. Fortunately, there was only a female on the opposite side, and she was able to confirm that this female had a normal mating orientation and was not thinking about something disgusting. .
"The more I read... the more I read..." Xu Xiaosi laughed suddenly, "You are a fan of "Beating the Princess". But you actually wrote a work that is completely opposite to the story content of "Beating the Princess" and has a very different style... If "Beating the Princess" is a heaven chapter, yours is a hell chapter."
Li Rou turned his head away, couldn't help but want to laugh, hell chapter... Sure enough, An Nanxiu's style is really scary.
"What is a vermicelli, the soft silver thread in the soup filling dumplings? I'm not that kind of thing, and you shouldn't compare me to that kind of thing." An Nanxiu looked at Xu Xiaosi unhappy.
"She has been seriously poisoned..." Xu Xiaosi put down the book in his hand, smiled and said to Li Rou: "Look, she is just like An Xiaoxiu... I said she looks familiar, just look at the description in this paragraph..."
Xu Xiaosi opened a passage in the book and showed it to Li Rou: The girl in front of her had straight long hair. To Xu Lizi's surprise, her long hair flowed like real silk, shining gorgeously in the sun. When Xu Lizi looked at her, she turned her head, a hint of arrogance flashed invisibly in her cold eyes, and then disappeared, treating Xu Lizi as a cloud of air indifferently and calmly.
Xu Lizi didn't care, she was the person his brother liked and would be his sister-in-law in the future, Xu Lizi mustered up the courage to say hello to her, but the girl turned around on her own, hugging a furry who didn't know if it was an ant or What kind of toy, sitting in his brother's arms, looked at Xu Lizi provocatively.
Xu Lizi later found out that the toy was an ant, which An Xiaoxiu called the Tyrannosaurus Rex Ant.
"Look, this hair, and this toy... isn't it? They are exactly the same. To be honest, we have also organized some offline activities, and there are enthusiastic readers who dress up as characters in the book, but you are the one with the highest degree of reproduction." .” Xu Xiaosi looked at An Nanxiu appreciatively.
An Nanxiu just looked at Xu Xiaosi coldly.
Xu Xiaosi felt a little uncomfortable being looked at by her, and suddenly understood Xu Lizi's feeling in the book. This kind of look was even more unnatural when Mrs. Xu described it.
"I'm sorry...she's not an imitation...she is the prototype. She is An Xiaoxiu in "Beating the Princess"." In order to avoid Xu Xiaosi continuing to annoy An Nanxiu, Li Rou had no choice but to explain. He didn't expect Li Zi to be lazy, Although I didn't use my real name, I didn't pay too much attention to the appearance and name of the characters.
Li Rou glanced at him. His surname had been changed, and his surname was also Xu. His name was actually Xu Geyou... Li Rou suddenly thought of Li Geyou, who was related to the donkey screaming in the middle of the night.
Xu Xiaosi was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but backed away from the sofa a little, and didn't look at An Nanxiu blatantly again, only came to his senses after a long time, and asked incredulously: "Really...is there really such a person as An Xiaoxiu? "
"Probably not... After all, although the novel is derived from life, after processing, there will always be a certain degree of exaggeration in order to cater to the storyline and the needs of readers. I think the real An Nanxiu is definitely different from the An Xiaoxiu in the book." Li Rou has not read the book "Beating the Princess" carefully, but he thinks he should read it carefully.
"I think so." Xu Xiaosi nodded with a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "No matter how arrogant people in this world are, they probably wouldn't say anything. Being able to kiss the footprints I left is already an insurmountable honor in your life, yes A source of pride for your children and grandchildren... ”
Li Rou had no choice but to hold back a smile, and held An Nanxiu's hand to prevent her from being furious.
"What's the arrogance of this kind of talk? It's just a simple statement of a natural fact. Just like now, I handed over the manuscript to you. Do you understand what this matter means to you?" An Nanxiu didn't get angry, just looked It's getting colder and colder.
Xu Xiaosi only felt that the little girl's eyes seemed to be frozen, and suddenly thought that such a person might really say that kind of thing, hugged her arms, and forced herself to face the little girl, "Okay, we don't Let’s talk about that book again, and let’s talk about your book.”
Hearing what she said, An Nanxiu's expression softened a little.
"When I first saw your manuscript, I thought it was just a follow-up novel... You know that people nowadays lack the most innovative consciousness, innovative spirit and innovative ability. They follow whatever is popular, such as TV dramas, movies, and variety shows. So is the book." Xu Xiaosi found that the other party was impatient again, and his heart was a little angry. He had never seen such an arrogant newcomer author, but he still said patiently: "But this word is really well written. Even if I am a layman, I also think the calligraphy is very beautiful, so I read it for a while... and found some differences in it."
An Nanxiu nodded, she only listens to compliments... Of course, no matter how much a compliment is, in An Nanxiu's view, it's just an appropriate expression of the truth. Li Rou's criticisms of An Nanxiu are not easy to listen to, let alone other people .
Li Rou also listened carefully, wanting to see what's different about An Nanxiu's book.
"First, the gorgeousness between the lines is unmatched by Mrs. Xu. Second, the way of character creation is different. Mrs. Xu pays more attention to the description of various appearances and details, while your dialogue is slightly more. The third point is that In the heaven and hell chapters I mentioned, Mrs. Xu's stories are narrated, which makes people feel inspirational and courageous, and your writing, inadvertently makes people feel hopeless, as if under the oppression of the heroine, any Everyone is in the same fate as the female number two, unable to resist, and that kind of emotion is very contagious." Xu Xiaosi nodded cautiously, expressing that this was the result of her own deliberation.
"You mean that the heroine I described looks like a demon in hell?" An Nanxiu glared at Li Rou, who was suppressing a smile, and then turned his head to look at Xu Xiaosi incredulously.
"Worse than demons, Hades... female Hades." Xu Xiaosi nodded affirmatively.
