Rebirth in America

Unable to go out, Alex could only stay at home in New York, unable to go anywhere. Now even if he wants to go to school, he can't. As soon as he appears in front of people, he will be surrounded immediately. Now he is equivalent to a child who is confined at home. He can only regain his freedom after the limelight passes.

The only good thing about this is that Alex doesn't have to go to school. There is no need to go to public schools. With his current fame, people will follow him wherever he goes. His parents found a private high school in New York City. As long as he went there during exams, he could move around freely at other times.

Being bored, he could only spend all his time writing books. "Harry Potter" has been changed beyond recognition by him, only the main plot and some branch plots have been retained. Harry is no longer the boy who deserves a beating. The magic system is not as chaotic as Aunt Rowling described it. Instead, it appears very clear and clear, making people think that magic should be like this at a glance.

As for the description of the battle scene, for Alex, who has read countless online articles, this is just a piece of cake. If he hadn't been worried that the style of his description would not be easily accepted by Americans, he would have described the battle to death.

Originally, many fantasy novels of this era were based on the style of "The Lord of the Rings" and were in the popular literary style. After reading them, people felt that the author's writing style was awesome. What I didn't expect was that Alex's little white writing became a genre of its own and sold very well.

In particular, Alex's power system makes Americans who are deeply influenced by science feel very reliable at first glance, rather than feeling mysterious and unpredictable. His setting was quickly adopted by other authors and became the background setting in many fantasy novels.

Alex's description is wonderful, but there is a flaw in that it makes the story a lot longer. At least one of his books has nearly half as many words as Aunt Rowling's. Those are all habits left behind by Alex's previous watering, and they can't be changed. Unexpectedly, his approach was very popular with Carl, and he even encouraged him to write more fighting scenes.

"Readers wrote in that they liked the fights you wrote and hoped you would write more." Carl said to him.

"Huh? Why?" Alex didn't understand. In his opinion, these contents were extremely boring fighting processes. If he saw this kind of content, he would basically read it at a glance.

"Don't you know? Your fighting style is unique in the industry. No one else can write so many fighting styles. It's such a fantastic idea that people can read it over and over again. ." Karl praised Alex without being hypocritical, and it seemed that he also liked watching this kind of fight.

Alex thought about it and immediately understood. It turned out that fighting, which he thought was boring, was simply a new continent for those who had never been exposed to martial arts novels, fairy tale novels, and fantasy novels. Jin Yong's writing is quite good, but his fighting scenes, compared with the novels in the era of the Internet explosion, are simply like throwing yourself on the street and dying without knowing what happened.

More importantly, Alex's novels are not directly translated from online novels, but written in a way that Westerners can accept. After all, he has lived in the United States for so many years. He hears, speaks, and thinks in English every day, and he has long been assimilated to this cultural environment. What is written can certainly be understood and accepted by Americans.

"Are you sure you want me to have more?" After Alex figured it out, he confirmed with Karl.

"Yes, it would be best if the Harry Potter series could be written more. Many people don't want it to end so soon." Carl asked Alex and knew that this series of books would only be about 12 books. It was only because of his strong suggestion that Alex added five books from the original seven.

It's just watering down. Anyone who has read online articles will know this. Of course, it was not a problem for Alex. He originally only planned to write about five books, but he didn't expect that Karl was not satisfied yet and insisted on writing longer.

From the beginning, Alex wanted to drag out the scene by lengthening the battle, but he later felt that doing so was too obvious. Besides, physical books are different from online texts. If a battle drags on for several chapters, it will probably disgust readers. He decided to rest the original outline and make the story longer. Anyway, he can't leave home now, so writing or something is a good choice.

Drawing on the many online novels he had read in his previous life and adding many storylines, Alex expanded his "Harry Potter" series to 30 books, each containing about 400,000 words. In other words, this will be a fantasy novel of tens of millions of words. It is estimated that at that time, no one would dare to write such a long novel.

After Carl saw Alex's new plan, he just felt that the world was going to collapse. This was definitely a sign of unfinished business.

"Alex, please don't mess it up on a whim. There will be 12 million words now, and you have only completed less than 2 million." Karl almost cried, he didn't expect that he would ask for it. To extend the length, Alex made it so long. If this goes wrong, he will have to bear the responsibility. He seemed to have seen the editor-in-chief asking him to go home. It would be difficult to find such a good job by then.

Alex then explained to him carefully that he was not doing it randomly, but because he had some ideas. The first 10 books of "Harry Potter" he planned to use to describe the grudge between Harry and Voldemort, which is mainly about revenge. The 10 books in the middle are intended to tell the story of how Harry slowly connected the magical world with the real world after his successful revenge. Ordinary people also began to understand magic, and the combination of magic and science benefited both parties. The last 10 books describe Harry's journey to becoming a god, and at the same time, human society has completely entered the era of magical interstellar.

"Actually, the era of magic interstellar is just the beginning. However, for Harry personally, this is already a paragraph. It would be boring to continue talking about it." Alex talked in a leisurely and colorful way.

After listening to Alex's well-founded statement, Karl discovered that the story had a very solid structure, was not as confusing as he thought, and was also appealing.

"But, there are more than 10 million words in total. Can you write it?" Karl was still a little worried.

Alex was killed by Karl in one hit. He knew his character. If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't get out, he wouldn't be willing to sit in front of the typewriter to type.

"Yes, I should be able to do it. At worst, I can write one book a year, so that will be no problem."

"One book a year? Doesn't it mean that it will take 30 years to write? Will you still have passion by then?" Karl didn't believe it. He was also a person who had written something. He knew that when writing a book, if the writer's passion no longer exists, then it would definitely It's a mess.

"How could it take 30 years? Haven't I already published so many books? I just said that if there is no time, write less, and make sure there is at least one book every year. If there is enough time, write more." Eric Si bit the tip of his pen and thought as he spoke.

At the end, he lowered his eyes and said: "If it doesn't work, I will write according to the 12-book plan. When I don't want to write, I will just use the meteorite escape method to kill all the bad guys, and then the good guys will live happily in Together!"

Karl was a little dazed after hearing this, thinking that Alex's plan was just nonsense, but there was nothing he could do about it.

There are four books in the Harry Potter series, and he is currently writing the fifth. He planned to finish writing the first ten books as soon as possible. According to the speed at which he coded every day, he could code about 10,000 words a day. The most important thing is that he has another way, which is to code the words in his mind, write the novel and then type it out on a typewriter. With his complete memory, it is easy for him to do such small things.

With so much free time, Alex can code quickly every day, and can code about 20,000 words at the fastest time. While he was typing, he noticed that Richard seemed a little depressed, but he didn't ask why. Until one day when eating, Richard didn't want to eat, and Bart asked him why.

"I have no appetite. I don't want to eat," Richard said.

"Why don't you have appetite?" Angel was surprised.

"The latest issue of "Captain America" ​​is no longer available," Richard said unhappily.

Captain America is a superhero character in MARVEL comics. It was created by screenwriter Joe Simon and artist Jack Kirby. He first appeared in the first issue of the "Captain America" ​​comic published in March 1941. His real name is Steve Rogers, an American young man who was transformed into a "super soldier" through experiments. He made outstanding achievements in World War II and is often regarded as a symbol of the American spirit.

Richard likes reading comics, especially the comic "Captain America". Like other children of his generation, he has a hobby of reading every issue of comics. Although Captain America has gradually faded out of the comics with the end of the war, there are still a group of diehard fans looking forward to Captain America's return. This issue of "Captain America" ​​is a special issue, released temporarily to celebrate the tenth anniversary of the victory in World War II.

This made Richard happy for a long time. He had been waiting for the special issue of "Captain America" ​​to come out, but he was disappointed.

Bart didn't know much about comics, so he asked, "Why can't you buy one? You have so much pocket money, can't you afford a comic?"

Angel knew something about Richard's concerns. She explained: "In recent years, some doctor said that reading comics is harmful, so many comic companies have been unlucky. Maybe it was influenced, so "Captain America" It must have been chopped off.”

In the 1950s, American comics encountered the greatest challenge, and the "harmful theory of comics" became popular. In the spring of 1954, the Senate held hearings specifically on comic book publishing. Comics companies had to set limits on themselves, and at the same time, there was a movement against comics in society. Publishers closed, and within a year, comic book sales dropped by 75%.

The way Richard sighed made Alex dislike it. He said, "Since you like comics so much, then buy the comic company. Let them draw the comics you like specifically for you."

"Really? Can we do this?" When Richard heard this, he immediately became energetic. He looked at his parents and begged, "Mom, Dad, buy me a comic book company. I really, really want to read Captain America!"

Bart was dumbfounded by them, UU Reading www.uukanshu.net He said: "Stop making trouble, you can't spend money like this if you have money."

Angel didn't think so. She said, "If you can afford it, then go ahead and buy it. However, you have to use your own money to buy it."

After listening to his parents' words, Richard knew that this matter would eventually have to go to Alex. He immediately went to his brother and asked: "When are we going to buy the comic company? Do you have enough money now?"

Alex never thought about buying the comic company, but he suddenly remembered that many science fiction movies in later generations took their themes from comics. For example, Superman, Spider-Man, Batman, Iron Man, Avengers, etc. have all been made into movies, and they have done well at the box office.

"Don't worry, wait until I investigate clearly." Of course Alex knew that if you want to buy a company, you don't just go to the bank to withdraw money and then go to the supermarket to buy it. It will definitely involve all aspects of affairs. Now that the Carpenter family has a lot of money, the relationship between the industries is also quite complicated.

Just talking about where the money to buy the company comes from, this is a very complicated matter. After all, many of the Carpenters' companies are already joint ventures and are not owned by them alone. Even in their company, if more than two people are involved in the shares, it will be troublesome. Sometimes you have to listen to the advice of an accountant, and in order to avoid taxes, you will withdraw funds from a certain company to invest or something.

Thinking of this, Alex felt that it was still necessary to establish an investment company. If there were any acquisitions of companies in the future, he could leave it to this company. This way it won't be too complicated.
