Chapter 76 Friends

New Jersey.

comic shop.

"Holy shit!"

Leonard fixedly looked at the words 'adapted from Adam Duncan's novel Lord of Mysteries' written on the comic, and for a long time broke out foul language.

Compared with writers in the East who prefer to use pseudonyms, writers in the West prefer to use their real names. Of course, this is not absolute.

As for the reason.

In Dongguo, it was because the early novels belonged to an unpopular literary form, otherwise it would not be called a novel, but a big one, an embarrassing situation for a novelist to use a 'small' character.

Therefore, until the explosion of modern online literature in Asia, the strange pseudonym is still the mainstream of writers, and almost no one is willing to use the real name.

What are the benefits of a pen name?

For those who are on the street, acquaintances cannot recognize you by pseudonym, and you can write whatever you want, saving face-to-face personal attacks from people who don't like novels.

Due to factors such as grades, force majeure and other factors that cannot be written down, you can also discard the existing pseudonym and put on a new vest at any time.

Moreover, a pseudonym with a specific meaning is definitely easier to be remembered than a school with dozens of repeated bad street real names.

Just like celebrities, in order to become famous, many people will change their names to more unique names.

The West used to like to use pseudonyms, but not because of the status of novels like Dongguo, but because it was very yellow and violent, and all kinds of indescribable, so they had to use a pseudonym.

For example, Adam's nobleman, Nora Bean, the queen of color novels, never dared to use her real name before.

The basic flow of her novel, according to her own summary, is, 'Start from describing a few cities in Europe, use 30 euphemistic words to describe the indescribable, and then bang!Your bestseller is ready! '.

It's so simple and rude!

In modern times, the atmosphere has become more and more open, and coupled with the implementation of the grading system, any novel can be written.

At this time, what is most important?

Of course it's famous!

Is there any consideration between taking a pseudonym and using a real name?

Of course by real name!

Because a pseudonym is also an asset, it can be deprived, transferred or ignored, but a real name cannot be deprived in this way.

Any occasion, your work will be stamped with your name and people will know who you are!

Don't underestimate this difference, because 90.00% of nine readers will not love it enough to search for your real name after crossing the pseudonym, and even changing your name will damage your reputation.

For example, Nora Bean divorced her 'enchanting' ex-husband long ago, but why is she still wearing her ex-husband's surname?

Because when she started writing novels and became famous, it was the name Nora Bean that her readers remembered as Nora Bean.

Adam was born again, and he naturally knew this, so when he borrowed the Lord of Mysteries, he didn't use the pseudonym 'Squid Who Loves Diving' to pay tribute, but directly used Adam Duncan's real name.

Today, even if it's a comic book adaptation, the cover says 'Adapted from Adam Duncan's novel Lord of Mysteries', not from Random House's novel Lord of Mysteries.

of course.

Shuren Zhou said: There are two sides to everything. Fame and privacy can only be chosen. In the world of adults, all are the best wishes of children.

Adam Duncan's real name is printed on the comic book, directly seen by Leonard.

So, exposed.

"What's the matter, Leonard?"

Next to him, a boy who also wore glasses looked over curiously.

The comic circle and the otaku circle are highly overlapping, and both belong to the niche circle. They are in the same place, and there are only a few people who buy comics and read comics back and forth, and most of them know each other.

"I know the original novelist of this comic."

When Leonard asked, the anger of 'Adam didn't tell me he published a book and didn't take me as a friend' that popped into his mind at the beginning quickly disappeared, the corners of his mouth curled uncontrollably, and his head was slightly raised. Chest, proudly said: "He is my best friend!"

"real or fake?"

"Adam Duncan is Leonard your friend?"

"impossible!"

The comic shop is just that big. When Leonard said this, everyone gathered around.

"of course it's true!"

Leonard said loudly, "Adam is my best friend. He even helped me beat Jimmy."

"What? Adam Duncan is your cruel friend?"

This time, it's even more frying, because no one will associate the writer with the ruthless person, the contrast is too great, and this plot can only be seen in superhero comics.

"Stop bragging."

There were people who believed that at the beginning, but now few people believe Leonard.

"it is true."

Leonard was eager to get the asthma spray: "Adam is really my best friend."

"How do you prove it?"

Someone questioned.

"I……"

Leonard opened his mouth, but found that he had no way to prove himself.

"Look! It's really bragging!"

The doubters laughed.

"I'll prove it to you."

Leonard took the first comic book of Lord of Mysteries, and after paying the money, he walked out of the comic shop angrily.

California.

Pasadena.

"Howard, breakfast is ready~"

A huge figure was busy in the kitchen, and then shouted upstairs.

"I am coming."

An impatient young male voice came from upstairs.

"Don't yell at me."

The huge figure said, "I'm your mother."

"I know!"

The impatient young boy's voice got closer and closer, and as the stairs rattled, a thin and short figure walked down: "Everyone knows that you are my mother!"

"Come over and eat, we have to see the doctor later."

The huge figure reminded.

"I know."

The emaciated and short boy sat down at the dining table and said after bargaining, "But when I come back, I will go to the comic store, and I have to restock."

"Are you sure you're going to buy comics?"

The huge figure questioned: "You know that the consumption of paper drawing at home is increasing, right?"

"I do not know what you're talking about!"

The short and thin boy froze for a while, and then shouted again: "If you don't believe it, you can follow in, as long as you can enter without opening the door!"

"It's all your goddamn father. If he hadn't abandoned our mother and son, where would I need to eat so much, how could I be like this."

The huge figure said aggrieved: "Now even you despise me, what's the point of me being alive, I might as well die, uh..."

The short and thin boy rolled his eyes helplessly. This was not the first time he had seen this scene. He should have been immune long ago.

But don't watch him yell at his mother at every turn, he still loves his mother in his heart, so this cliché of crying often works.

"I didn't despise you."

The young man said helplessly.

"You just hate me."

The huge figure is unrelenting.

"I can't dislike anyone who can dislike you!"

The young man couldn't help roaring again.

"Look! You also said you didn't dislike me!"

The huge figure accused.

The voice was full of anger, and there was still a hint of grievance and crying.

"..."

The young man was speechless.
