reborn in america

But before the novel was put on the shelves, Adam went to the school first. He said goodbye to Carol and Brett in the small town, and then went to their own schools.

There are some differences between going to university in the United States and studying in China. First of all, it does not require a certain accommodation, which means that you can live in accommodation, or you can choose to go out to live by yourself.

If you live in accommodation, the school will not arrange according to the college, but you apply for it yourself, and then the school will automatically match you. Of course, if there is a relationship, you can also get together.

However, to be honest, because everyone in American universities is an adult, and the school’s control is not great, so if you don’t have a big heart, living in the school dormitory is sometimes a very painful thing.

Roommates abuse your things, have sex with people, or spend the night with your boyfriend and girlfriend, the earth-shattering movement will definitely make you suffer, and some even exaggerate to hold parties in the dormitory without your consent.

Of course, if you get someone who is good-tempered, polite and doesn't make trouble, then you are definitely lucky.

Adam, who had known this for a long time, would not try this luck. After all, he is more or less famous now, and the money in his pocket is enough for him to squander, so he doesn't need to wrong himself, not to mention that he was already in the office more than half a year ago. I rented a studio and a house near the school, and now they are all renovated. It is only a few minutes' drive away from the school.

In addition, in addition to the well-known full-time study at a university in the United States, you can also choose part-time (part-time) to attend classes between work.Moreover, credits are mutually recognized among universities in the United States. Students can graduate after completing the required credits. They can choose double degrees, return to continue their studies after a period of suspension, change majors, and apply for transfer according to their own needs; You can also choose not to study for a degree, but only take a few courses you want to learn.

It can be said that as long as you pay the tuition fees, it is extremely convenient and humane to study in a university in the United States, but the tuition fee threshold does not know how many people have been stopped.

For example, Brett and Carol are full-time students through and through. They read readers year after year like ordinary college students, until they earn enough credits, get their diplomas, and officially graduate.

And although Adam can also be like them, he doesn't want to spend all his time on it. He didn't come to school for that degree certificate, but to learn some knowledge about directors, so as to prepare for entering Hollywood in the future. bedding.

As for whether he can get a degree, it doesn't matter to Adam, so Adam asked Lydia to help him sort out the time for the few courses he wanted to take, and spend the rest of the time in the newly renovated studio.

The "Druid" cartoon working group in the studio has not changed, and the three novel assistants have not left because they signed a long-term contract. Thousands of years of grievances and hatreds with rigorous logic, reliable plots, and complicated relationships.

Bloodlines, witchcraft, alchemy, potions, magic circles, etc. are also being collected. In order to make it more intuitive, the "Druid" comic group also participated in and contributed to these collateral settings. For this reason, Adam I also had to sign another contract as a novel assistant with the three of Hudson, which means that the comic trio actually have two roles, except for the "Druid" comics that need to be handed over to Marvel every month. , also need to help Lynch and the others to perfect the setting of the novel "The Witcher".

After Adam returned to LA, he spent more than a week to deeply understand the results of their work during this period. Except for some that felt contrary to the theme and needed to be revised, most of the others passed Adam’s acceptance and entered the "The Witcher" is set in the bookcase and saved.

Because HarperCollins has sent the money for the first printing of 800 million copies to Adam's bank account, although part of it needs to be reserved for Tonares to reduce the tax payment process, there are tens of millions of dollars that can be used.

Adam considers himself not to be a stingy employer. Apart from his own contribution, these assistants also contributed a lot to the victory of "The Witcher". Big red envelopes, as a reward, and give everyone a week off to relax.

Although the assistants have left for the time being, Adam has no plans to rest with him. The first part of "The Witcher" will be released soon, so the work on the first part of "The Witcher" is considered, and it is time to open the next page.

During the one-month car journey with Carol, Adam had a lot of blank time for him to diverge his thinking, and he did not waste so much time and inspiration, and recorded them all one by one. .

Before the novel was put on the shelves and during the holidays of his assistants, he needed to read it carefully and make arrangements for the work ahead.

The second part of "The Witcher" is not in a hurry, the first part has just hit the shelves, especially since it is still so popular, it would be better to release the second part at least a year or so, to give the market time to brew and ferment, and raise readers' expectations Spend.

But this is not to say that "The Witcher" has completely stagnated during this period of time. Adam can be said to know the strengths and weaknesses of his own family. The fantasy novel "The Witcher" has achieved excellent readability among European and American fantasy novels. But at the same time, I have to admit that too much emphasis on the readability and sense of rhythm of the novel makes the structure of the whole novel appear smaller, and the setting of the fantasy world is not very good because it focuses too much on the protagonist. displayed.

Therefore, Adam needs to expand and work hard in this area. As for how to do it, Adam already has a general idea, but so far the time is not enough, and we need to wait.

Another thing is that during the long journey, Adam sat in the passenger seat and let his thoughts fly, so he had another inspiration that gave him the urge to write. This inspiration has many shadows when analyzed, but But it incorporates Adam's unique ideas. As for whether the written content can be accepted and liked by people, it is hard to say.

Because, this is not a popular novel like "The Witcher", but a little more personal, and the reading threshold is slightly higher.

Adam didn't make any expectations for the sales volume of this book, he wanted to be more willful and selfish.

Therefore, Adam did not intend to let his assistants intervene in the writing of this book. At most, he asked them to help catch bugs, correct some sentences and basic mistakes, and he did the rest by himself.

Having said so much, let me finally reveal that this time Adam is going to return to the science fiction theme, and the core of this novel is-what will the world be like when human beings are colonized by aliens.

Yes, maybe from this point of view, it is not very high-level, because there are still many novels and even movies with such themes, but Adam did not want to write like them, he wanted to write a novel with his own unique imprint It can be said that except for the core, the content of his novels is completely different from theirs.

Adam remembers reading a book in his previous life, which said a sentence: When people look up at the starry sky, they are not only impressed by the vastness and beauty of the starry sky, but also moved and frightened by their own ignorance.

The ignorance here, maybe the author means that human beings do not absorb enough knowledge, while Adam regards this ignorance as the lack of information in the interstellar world. This lack may not matter much when we are independent from the corner of the interstellar world.

But when an alien civilization arrives that we have absolutely no concept of, this ignorance can be fatal.

And Adam's new book starts from this point.When a strange high-level alien civilization comes to the earth, how will they view the earth and how will they treat the earth?

In fact, this question is not difficult to answer, but it is the most difficult to answer.The reason why it is not difficult to answer is because how alien civilizations treat the earth needs to be based on their needs for the earth, but this demand is often the biggest mystery.

In this novel, Adam divides the perspective into two parts. One part is to stand in the direction of alien civilizations and look at it from their perspective. When they accidentally discover a brand new, different and beautiful planet, what will they do? how to treat.

Another perspective is to put it in a corner of the world under the control and colonization of alien civilizations, what kind of life people will live.If the writing from the alien perspective is more difficult, then in this part, Adam is going to use a completely different writing style from the alien perspective, describing a story in a legendary style.

Adam is very clear that such things are destined to separate the two parts of the novel, but this strong separation is exactly what Adam wants to achieve, because the alien civilization itself is completely different from human civilization. Absolutely impossible to integrate.

The minds of the so-called non-human races must be different, and no matter where they are placed, they are actually the same. Between races and races, between beliefs and beliefs, different types and different types can only be seen, but when two competing wholes meet, On the whole, it is bound to not be good.

It's like the Indian massacre, like the Crusades, etc., but if the gap between the two parties reaches an absolutely unattainable height, how will the condescending party treat and treat the humble party?

There are many, many things that need to be considered here, and these are Adam's later writing that needs to be carefully thought out and designed.And these details are also doomed, whether this novel named "The Colony" by Adam in advance is a classic or is cast aside by others.

The author has something to say: There is another update today, the old time, at six o'clock in the evening, so stay tuned.
