Chapter 265 Devil Chapter
The afternoon in early summer was a little hot, but An Nanxiu's delicate skin was still soft and not soaked by sweat. She held the Tyrannosaurus Rex ant with one hand and handed it to Li Luyou with the other hand.
Usually An Nanxiu is used to pace slowly, quietly and calmly, but Li Luyou feels that she is a little shaky today, and she always moves her heels forward, one in front, one behind, one on the left and one on the right. I wonder why she walks like this, maybe she is in a good mood?
Li Luyou only hopes that her good mood can be maintained forever, and he does not have much confidence in her manuscripts.
He actually hadn't read her novel, and she didn't mean to show it to him, but Mi Fei had read it. Judging from Mi Fei's description, An Nanxiu's description obviously made readers hate the protagonist and feel immersed in the second female lead.
Li Banzhuang also said that An Nanxiu's article is a narcissistic and unscrupulous bragging, as if no one else was around.
Generally, such interviews often mean that the author's manuscript is eye-catching, but this does not mean that after the review, you can really talk about signing the publication fee and other things.
But this is just for others. If the editor calls the author and says that you can't do it here and you need to change it there. You go back and repair it. Let's talk about it. Authors who lack access or are just newcomers are often grateful and excited. However, if this set is used on An Nanxiu, Li Luyou thinks something will happen.
Before coming to the publishing house, Li Luyou looked up and saw that the door was very handsome, and the independent office building was not an ordinary private publishing house. Maybe it had an official background. Now Li Luyou was a little relieved. If it was a private company, it would be impossible for him to leave it to you. Li Luyou would have no choice but to force others, but if it was a state-owned company, it would be easy to say.
Li Luyou is not too indignant about wasting national resources. After all, Sister Qiao changed cars every few days. Apart from the Audi on duty, she is also driving a Maserati GTS. There are too many cars she has changed, not to mention the department that no one knows but is comparable to military consumption.
Register at the front desk, then meet with the editor and talk in the reception room.
The editor is a woman in her early thirties, with her surname Xu and Xu Xiaosi, white and fat, wearing a pair of glasses, which makes people feel like she is sitting in front of a computer and burying her head to read novels.
This editor doesn't seem to be a big name in the publishing house. She pours water herself and receives An Nanxiu and Li Luyou herself.
"It was you who answered the phone, and it was you who wrote the novel?" Xu Xiaosi looked at Li Luyou, then looked at An Nanxiu, and laughed.
"Yes, I am her guardian. She is not yet an adult." Li Luyou also smiled. An Nanxiu was still in his household registration book, and he was indeed a guardian in terms of legal relations. An Nanxiu ignored this meaningless inquiry at all, just sat there holding her ant, watching the tea leaves rolling up and down in the tea water.
"Since your book title is "Beating the Sister", have you read the book "Beating the Princess"?" Xu Xiaosi said to Li Luyou and An Nanxiu at the same time. The reception room is the storefront and displays many works by publishers, including "Beating the Princess". Xu Xiaosi took the book and placed it in front of Li Luyou and An Nanxiu.
"I've read it." Li Luyou nodded. An Nanxiu probably thought about writing it after reading this book. What's commendable is that An Nanxiu did not make a big fuss at that time, but chose to write one by herself to mock Li Banzhuang. She was able to tolerate it. Since she discovered the book, she has been writing her own silently, only using her own book to deal with Li Zi's provocation.
An Nanxiu did not answer, but Xu Xiaosi didn't care too much because she already had an answer in her heart. She just looked at An Nanxiu and became more and more confused.
"Don't keep looking at me." An Nanxiu raised her head and said boredly. Fortunately, there was only a female opposite, and she was able to confirm that the female had a normal mating orientation and was not thinking about anything disgusting.
"Why do I read the more I read the more..." 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 of "Beating the Princess" and has a very different style... If "Beating the Princess" is a heaven chapter, your book belongs to the hell chapter."
Li Luyou turned his head and couldn't help but laugh. Hell... Sure enough, An Nanxiu's style is really terrifying.
"What are the fans? The silver soft silk thread in the dumpling dumpling? I'm not that kind of thing, don't compare me to that kind of thing." An Nanxiu looked at Xu Xiaosi unhappily.
"She has been seriously poisoned..." Xu Xiaosi put down the book in her hand and said to Li Luyou with a smile: "Look, she is like An Xiaoxiu... I just think it looks familiar. Look at the description of this paragraph..."
Xu Xiaosi opened a passage from the book for Li Luyou: the girl in front of her had long straight hair. What surprised Xu Lizi was that her long hair flowed like real silk, with a gorgeous luster in the sun. When Xu Lizi looked at her, she turned her head, and a hint of arrogance flashed invisibly in her cold eyes, and then disappeared, and she treated Xu Lizi indifferently and calmly as a ball of air.
Xu Lizi didn't care. She was the person her brother liked and would be her sister-in-law in the future. Xu Lizi mustered up the courage to say hello to her, but the girl turned around and held a furry toy that didn't know was an ant or something. She sat in her brother's arms and looked at Xu Lizi provocatively.
Xu Lizi later learned that the toy was an ant, and she was called the Great Tyrannosaurus Rex ant by An Xiaoxiu.
"Look, this hair, this toy... isn't it? It's exactly the same. To be honest, we have also organized some offline activities, and enthusiastic readers dressed up as characters in the book, but you have the highest degree of restoration." Xu Xiaosi looked at An Nanxiu with appreciation.
An Nanxiu just looked at Xu Xiaosi coldly.
Xu Xiaosi felt a little uncomfortable when she saw it, and she suddenly understood the feeling of Xu Lizi in the book. This kind of eyes was described by Mrs. Xu, which made people feel much more unnatural.
"Sorry... she was not an imitation... she should be said to be the prototype. She is An Xiaoxiu in "Beating the Princess"." In order to prevent Xu Xiaosi from continuing to annoy An Nanxiu, Li Luyou had to explain, but he did not expect that Li Zi was lazy. Although he did not use his real name, the character appearance and name did not spend too much effort.
Li Luyou glanced at him and changed his surname, and his surname was Xu, and his name was Xu Geyou... Li Luyou suddenly remembered the Li Luyou who was related to the female donkey screaming in the middle of the night.
Xu Xiaosi was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but step back a little to the sofa, and no longer blatantly looked at An Nanxiu. It was only after a long time that he came back to his senses and asked incredibly: "Really... are there really people like An Xiaoxiu?"
"It shouldn't be... After all, although the novel originates from life, after processing, it will always exaggerate to a certain extent to cater to the plot and readers' needs. I think the real An Nanxiu is definitely completely different from An Xiaoxiu in the book." Li Luyou did not read the book "Beating the Princess" carefully, but he felt that he should read it carefully.
"I think so." Xu Xiaosi nodded with relief and said with a smile: "No matter how arrogant the people in this world are, they will probably not say anything that can kiss the footprints left by me. They are already an honor that you cannot surpass in your life, and the root of your descendants' pride for you..."
Li Luyou had to hold back his laughter and held An Nanxiu's hand to prevent her from getting angry.
"What's so arrogant about this kind of words? Just simply tell a fact that is taken for granted. Just like now, I handed the manuscript in your hand. Do you understand the meaning of this matter to you?" An Nanxiu did not get angry, but her expression became more and more deserted.
Xu Xiaosi only felt that the little girl's eyes seemed to be frozen. She suddenly thought that such a person would really say that kind of thing, hugged her arms, and forced herself to face the little girl, "Okay, let's not talk about that book anymore, let's talk about your book."
After hearing what she said, An Nanxiu's expression calmed down a little.
"I first saw your manuscript and thought it was just a follow-up novel... You know that people nowadays lack the most innovative consciousness, spirit of innovation and ability to innovate. They follow whatever they are popular, such as TV series, movies, variety shows, and books are the same." Xu Xiaosi found that the other party was impatient again, and she was a little angry in her heart. She had never seen such a arrogant new author, but she still said patiently: "But this word is indeed well written. Even if I am an amateur, I think the calligraphy is very beautiful, so I read it for a while... I found some of the differences."
An Nanxiu nodded, she only listened to compliments... Of course, no matter how compliments are, in An Nanxiu's opinion, it was just a proper expression of facts. Li Luyou's criticism of An Nanxiu still likes to listen to it, let alone others.
Li Luyou also listened carefully, wanting to see what is different about An Nanxiu's books.
"First, the gorgeousness between the lines is unmatched by Mrs. Xu. Second, the characters are created differently. Mrs. Xu pays more attention to various appearances and details, and you have a little more conversations. The third point is the Paradise and Hell chapter I mentioned. Mrs. Xu's story is told in a casual manner, which makes people feel inspiration and courage. Your writing inadvertently makes people feel despair, as if under the oppression of the heroine, anyone is the same as the second female lead, unable to resist, and that kind of emotion can be very infectious." Xu Xiaosi nodded cautiously, indicating that this was the result of his careful consideration.
"What do you mean is that the heroine I describe looks like a demon in hell?" An Nanxiu glared at Li Luyou who held back his smile, then turned her head and looked at Xu Xiaosi incredibly.
"More terrible than the devil, the King of Hell... the Female King of Hell." Xu Xiaosi nodded affirmatively—
Sorry, I finally finished the third update.
