Chapter 26 Themes of Eternal Classics
"No, that's it."
After hearing the staff's doubts, Lilith frowned slightly and raised her head to emphasize it again, as if her mood suddenly changed.
"Our lady means that the latest update of this book is too slow, and she is not satisfied with the content. The kind young man named Gu Bai in the book has a miserable life. I hope you can revise it as soon as possible. Are the living conditions of the residents in your federation so difficult?"
The old man in a butler's uniform behind Lilith also pushed his gold-rimmed glasses when he saw this, and carefully and rigorously helped Lilith complete what she wanted to express.
"Yeah."
Facing the suspicious gaze of the staff, Lilith nodded again to express her affirmation.
Staff: What? ? ?
"Miss Lilith, the books you read are written by authors from all over the galaxy. They are linked to each other through the Star Network and publish each other's works. They are not with us, and we cannot modify each other's works."
The staff could only explain Lilith's misunderstanding when she first came into contact with the Star Network.
"..."
Lilith seemed to try to understand, and even subtly became anxious.
"No, the text must be changed."
After thinking for a long time without any result, Lilith gave up thinking and looked at the other party seriously again.
"What our lady meant is that she is very dissatisfied with the development of the plot. If the lady is in a bad mood, our cooperation with the noble country will end here."
The old butler explained with a smile at the right time, which sounded the alarm in one second.
Threat, this is a naked threat!
It is indeed the legendary Bart tribe with a bad temper!
The staff who realized the seriousness of the problem reported the matter almost without thinking.
Can't the whole cooperation be ruined because of a novel?
So under such a chain reaction, Yu Mian called the editorial department of Huanyu directly on the night when he updated ten chapters.
As a result, the relevant departments of the federal government did not expect that the young author was so bold that he did not change the text at all, but directly updated the next chapter.
Fortunately, Lilith's mood improved after reading the next chapter, and suddenly she didn't care about the changes in the previous chapter at all.
Even after carefully and carefully understanding the principles and existence of the star network, she said that she really wanted a star network.
In this way, you can always see the latest updates of this book.
After this diplomatic incident, which was a complete blunder but a success, almost all senior officials of the Federation knew about this bizarre incident.
The representatives of the Bart tribe, who were invited from that planet with great difficulty, not only did not agree to cooperate in their official activities, but
after their first exposure to the interstellar optical computer surfing, they developed an unparalleled interest in a novel they were following, and then agreed to access the Star Network.
"Now the good news is that the Bart tribe, who have always been conservative and stubborn, finally agreed to access the Star Network system."
"The news that is not bad news is that they hope to bring back a few sets of physical books during the period before they can't see the updates before the Star Network is connected."
So in the Federation Conference Hall, the official in charge of this Star Alliance cooperation announced two pieces of news with a subtle expression.
Who could have thought that the brutal and mysterious Bart tribe in the legend would have such a bizarre request before leaving.
The Federation Galaxy is vast and rich in resources, but they didn't want so many colorful gifts and specialties, but instead specifically asked to take back a few sets of novels
. So the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Federation Government, along with a group of core figures, almost got this novel that was said to have fascinated the foreign guests overnight, and they looked at each other in bewilderment after reading it.
Could it be that the whole universe has always deeply misunderstood them?
This mysterious race with extremely brutal temperament and not easy to show off in the legend is actually a home-reading lover of fantasy romantic love literature?
"But since they want it, let's arrange it immediately."
It's just a novel.
Finally, the high-level meeting of the federal government collectively decided on the decision. After all, this move did not seem to have any other deep meaning.
"But the little daughter of the representative family also wants to meet the author."
Just before the end of the meeting, the contact person added a sentence temporarily, which made everyone hesitate again.
"Well... It is said that they want to read a novel with their Bart tribe as the protagonist, and are even willing to pay for it."
My good man, it seems that they are really obsessed with the update.
Not only do they want to read it, but they also want to spend a lot of money to buy a novel with themselves as the protagonist?
"Another point is that although the Bart tribe agreed to access the star network and even allowed the opening of the channel in the nearby edge area, the entire universe now has a very bad impression of them. I don't think anyone will dare to go there when the time comes."
After another person in charge of the Ministry of Transportation pointed out this problem, there was a moment of silence on the scene.
This is indeed a fact.
Now the entire universe's impression of the Bart tribe is obviously that fear is greater than anything else, and it is not an exaggeration to regard them as a scourge.
"This matter has a long way to go, not to mention that the Bart tribe is indeed different from what we imagined after contact, and it doesn't seem to be that aggressive."
It even seems that it is simply that the life cycle is too long, and they are too lazy to go out and move around, and they like to stay at home reading books and sleeping...
You know, a dark planet with polar night all year round is indeed boring and very suitable for sleeping.
However, when the news was passed down from top to bottom to the editor Shakes, Shakes objected strongly, which was rare:
"No, I don't agree! How can the new book have the Bart tribe as the protagonist? "
As everyone knows, the reputation of the Bart tribe in the interstellar world is generally recognized to be bad. How can readers like to read with them as the protagonist?
"And my author will definitely not agree. He really doesn't like to be designated as the protagonist to create a work."
Thinking of Yu Mian's refusal to write another series of musical instrument protagonists, Shakes felt that Yu Mian might simply not like the assignment topic.
"Shakes, this is the request from above. Now that the author has signed under your hand, you should convey it truthfully. What if he is willing?"
After all, the reward offered by the Bart tribe is astronomical.
Although they have a bad reputation and are cruel and weird, they are rich.
It is said that everyone lives in a castle villa. They are truly prosperous together and rich per capita! So
under the strong request of the deputy editor-in-chief, Shax had no choice but to relay this request to Yu Mian.
It's said, and it will probably be rejected soon.
After all, after being with Yu Mian for so long, Shax is sure that although Yu Mian, the author, seems to be short of money, he is not someone who will be easily moved by money.
On the contrary, he has his own principles, and once he makes up his mind, it is almost impossible for outsiders to change him.
[Fish: Huh? Why does this Bart tribe you are talking about look so much like the legendary vampire? ! ]
[Crispy Shark: Huh? What vampire? ? 】
However, what Shax never expected was that Yu Mian, who got the news this time, actually developed an extremely strong interest! After all,
according to Shax's description, this so-called Bart tribe is clearly the vampire with extremely long lifespans and beautiful women and handsome men in various novels and TV series!
You know, this is a classic protagonist setting in various works, and its popularity is enduring! There is
even a more noble and cold literary term - blood clan.
This is not a second to be full of excitement? !
Therefore, facing the sudden appearance of the Bart tribe in front of him, Yu Mian almost felt very interesting all of a sudden, and even diluted the sadness of receiving the ridiculous daily task just now.
Anyway, there are still seven days, so there is no rush to complete it.
Moreover, Yu Mian found out after searching on the Star Network that how did this race in the interstellar space that was so similar to vampires become like this!
It seems that because they are taciturn, have always lived in seclusion, and refuse to access any interstellar technology, the people in the universe have all kinds of strange prejudices and rumors about this legendary race.
One moment it is said that the ancestors of the Bart tribe were said to be photophobic bats, so these descendants chose to live on a strange planet with permanent polar night.
Another moment it is said that the so-called Bart tribe does not like to show up because they like to commit crimes in the dark night, and even sneak up on ordinary people to collect blood. There are
even interstellar netizens who claim that after an airship accidentally entered the eternal night planet, they saw the Bart tribe drinking a cup of human blood!
It is simply terrifying.
"Hey, are the vampires in the interstellar space and the vampires in Earth culture not the same kind?"
Yu Mian was even a little hesitant as he read.
[Crispy Shark: Anyway, you can think about the new book slowly. There is really no rush. Don't write it impulsively just for the money! Our second book is really crucial! [crying loudly.jpg]]
And Shax even felt a little regretful at this moment. If he had known earlier, he would have wanted to hide the news from Yu Mian.
"The Marriage Agreement" became a phenomenal work. Because of this, countless eyes are staring at the performance of the next new book of Yu Mian, the rising star author.
If the second book is a terrible failure, without any splash, there is no doubt that it will be ridiculed.
And it will also be a huge loss for the reputation that the first book has worked so hard to build.
So it is obvious that writing a similar book as the second book is the safest and most stable option, but who would have thought that the author would not do so.
[Fish: Don't worry, I definitely don't write for their royalties, and I don't plan to accept royalties from Miss Lilith.]
[Fish: If I really write a second novel about vampires, I will not accept any specific requirements for the content. I must be completely free to express myself, but I will ensure that the protagonist is a positive image. Will the other party accept this?]
After thinking for a moment, Yu Mian finally replied to Shax's own plan.
[Shax: Okay, then I will go and ask before I get off work today. However, there is another big happy event to report. The publication plan of "Agreed Marriage" has been scheduled, and I plan to publish the first volume first! Do you want to see the cover and the illustrations? 】
Shax's idea for Yu Mian's second book can only be said to be temporarily stable. The publication of "Agreement Marriage" is obviously the more critical thing at the moment.
And because the publication of this book has been given the highest priority, all processes have been almost smooth and fast.
Wow, even the cover and character design are out?
After seeing this message, Yu Mian instantly sat up straight in anticipation. He didn't expect the work efficiency of Star Era to be so high.
【Crispy Shark: Hehe, and all the best resources are arranged, especially our illustrations! We invited a super famous painter! 】
As the editor Shax's excited explanation, a huge file compressed package was soon sent in the star message.
【Crispy Shark: By the way, where is your address? When the sample book is published, I can send you a copy? Even if it's a distant galaxy, it's okay. We can send someone to carry it to you now...】
However, while Shax was chattering, Yu Mian, who was also excited and looking forward to opening the compressed package to receive the picture, suddenly fell into a kind of mysterious silence after opening the picture.
[Crispy Shark: How is it, isn't it beautiful? It is said that a draft of a big price contract was drawn! 】
What should Yu Mian say about this...
Grandpa Caesar tending to the flowers and plants in the garden, or the loving mother Gu Bai on the hospital bed, these realistic middle-aged characters are indeed well drawn, and it seems that the painter's skills are indeed very good.
At least the old man looks like an old man.
But...
Gu Bai, Caesar, and even the male supporting role Roy, these young people, how come they all look like they were made from the same mold! ?
And it can be seen that it is a typical interstellar aesthetic, with strong muscles and a rugged face. It looks like he can pick up a mecha and run to the battlefield in the next second.
Even if Caesar can be of this style.
But the Gu Bai in my mind can never look like this.
This pair of hands used to play the piano looks like it can hammer ten Caesars in one second.
Yu Mian fell into a deep silence.
This won’t work, this really won’t work!!
But when Yu Mian turned on the light computer drawing board and tried to draw a schematic diagram by himself, after drawing for about seven or eight minutes, looking at the matchstick man on the screen, Yu Mian realized that he shouldn’t trust his drawing skills so much.
After all, my painting skills, like my singing level, are totally off the mark.
I can’t even show them to others.
[Fish: Um, I want to ask if this painter has read the original text of “Marriage Agreement” before painting? QAQ]
Yu Mian could only ask politely.
[Crispy Shark: Huh? I really don’t know, but the drawings are indeed expedited. This painter is very famous and usually draws for various official organizations. This is the first time he is willing to draw the cover and character design for a novel.]
Yu Mian suddenly realized that it was probably because Huanyu attached too much importance to it that they directly found an orthodox big shot to draw the cover, and it is very likely that he is very old.
Then after the publishing house gave the basic settings of several important characters, the painter started drawing directly.
But just like the professors from the Conservatory of Music who expressed their support for "The Marriage Agreement", if you really want to say that these professors in their sixties and seventies are following the novel online every day, it is really hard to believe.
It is more like because "The Marriage Agreement" accidentally brought them a wave of traffic bonuses, so these old people are kind enough to support it.
But now the character design is also drawn by people who have never read the novel, and even if they don’t have the patience to read the original text of the novel before drawing, the characters drawn will have nothing to do with the original text.
It’s a bit of a headache.
Yu Mian felt quite strange when looking at the pile of drawings on the computer that were said to be paid a
lot of money. There is always a feeling that the money has been wasted, and a bunch of completely wrong things that cannot be handled.
[Crispy Shark: Uh... What, are you dissatisfied? But now that you put it that way, it seems that it is indeed handsome, but it doesn't seem to fit the character very well?]
So after Shax got over his excitement, he re-examined these paintings in Yu Mian's silence.
Although they are expensive and famous, they are indeed not suitable?
[Crispy Shark: How about this, please wait a little longer! I will go find the person in charge to see if it can be modified, or find another painter to redraw it.]
After thinking for a long time, Shax sent the message again.
[Fish: If it is possible, that would be great. In fact, the painter does not have to be too respected. It would be most suitable if he can be a reader who has read and liked "The Marriage Agreement". 】
Yu Mian specified the only request to Shax this time, and Shax left thoughtfully.
Find a reader who has read "The Marriage Agreement" to draw it?
In fact, one of the important reasons why Yu Mian did not want to settle for an artist is that if he could find an artist with a suitable style to work with steadily this time, it would be of great help to his second book.
After all, compared to the urban theme of "The Marriage Agreement", if the second book is determined to be about vampires, there will be countless handsome men and beautiful women!
It is simply too suitable for drawing various group portraits, and even making various extremely gorgeous novel peripherals!
If a dozen handsome men with different styles are posted on Starbucks, it will be too attractive, and the popularity can be easily soared.
So in the next week, Yu Mian updated the text while waiting for the new version of the character picture, and frantically thought about how to complete the incredible daily task.
However, as the deadline was approaching, with the continuous accumulation of mental power, the golden ball in the mind really became more and more golden.
There was a feeling that liquid was gradually condensed from gas, flowing slowly under the mist.
Can I really become a human again?
Yu Mian even felt a little expectant and subtly nervous.
Moreover, the serialized plot during this period was also very tight and twisted, and several popular male supporting roles appeared in succession, which made readers dazzled.
Whether it was the gentleman supporting actor Roy whom he met at the previous family dinner, or the elegant elite doctor who performed surgery on Gu Bai's mother, or the newly appeared rich little milk dog junior brother who played the violin and secretly admired Gu Bai... they
were simply more tempting than the other!
Star readers who had never imagined that there could be so many high-quality supporting actors in a novel felt like they were strolling in a garden, with colorful flowers everywhere.
So much so that Yu Mian went to Brand's live broadcast room that day to collect reader feedback before the big climax of the plot, and found that they were indeed discussing the latest plot crazily.
However, the content of the readers' discussion really surprised Yu Mian a little.
"Why do I feel that this Roy is really good! He is a gentleman and gentle, and he is so considerate to Gu Bai in the book. Why doesn't the author arrange for Roy and Gu Bai to be together? Let Caesar regret it!"
The reader who spoke up was obviously a slacker in the real world, and he was still wearing work clothes.
I guess he was using the live broadcast APP to switch around in his spare time, but he didn't expect to be fascinated after listening to Brand's live broadcast room.
Although it was the first time I came into contact with the novel "Contract Marriage", I subconsciously expressed my views on the plot.
And this statement almost caused a thousand waves.
"What? If Roy is OK, then why not let Gu Bai be with the little Naigou junior! They both can play musical instruments and have common professional language! And he has been secretly in love with Gu Bai for so long, I think he is a good match for the little angel Gu Bai!!" "
Ah? If you insist on saying that, I'm really excited. The doctor with gold-rimmed glasses who has been helping Gu Bai..."
What no one expected was that after the contradictions in the crematorium turned around, a large number of readers began to watch Caesar's good show crazily, and even couldn't help but match Gu Bai up.
"No - Caesar is the real spouse, okay? Although our Caesar can't fall in love, his strength is not something that can be easily beaten by any supporting role, okay!?"
However, the resolute mainstream and positive attack party will naturally arrive sooner or later.
Although the plot of the book is about to go to the crematorium, the girl in the red skirt jumped out and instantly became the focus of the whole audience.
Her attitude was so firm that Yu Mian was a little impressed.
Good guy, it turns out that this is a positive party!
There is a future, congratulations.
After all, as a positive party, you will definitely have the last laugh!
However, in the current live broadcast room, this statement almost instantly added fuel to the discussion.
"Although Caesar is rich, who told him not to be long-mouthed!? I want to see him regret it now!"
Most readers are simply disappointed with Caesar at this moment!
On the contrary, the discussion of several popular male supporting roles is simply high.
After all, it is the first time that the readers of Star Interstellar have experienced the so-called popular BUFF, that is, in a book, there will be many kinds of high-quality male supporting roles around the protagonist.
In the transitional plot where Caesar indulges in false love and is completely unaware of the crisis, these male supporting roles just play the role of adjusting the plot.
As the author, Yu Mian was a little amused.
After all, who would have thought that the interstellar people who had never seen a crematorium would spontaneously discuss the replacement of the attackers!
[Crispy Shark: Well, our latest illustration is here! But with this latest plot, can you really control it?]
Even the editor Shax, who came back to Yu Mian with a new illustration a few weeks later, couldn't help but interrupt with trepidation.
Although it has been proven countless times that his concerns about the plot are always slapped in the face.
But Shax never expected that this wave of male supporting roles would trigger such a big topic of discussion. It seems that Caesar's family is about to be robbed.
[Fish: Of course not, because I have special whitewashing skills, which will make everyone deeply love Caesar. [Fish Smile.jpg]]
As expected, Yu Mian gave a slightly smirking answer the next second.
Although Shax was really curious at this moment, how this plot could make everyone love Caesar again, but with the successful transmission of the new version of the illustration, this time it was finally Yu Mian's exclamation that instantly filled the screen with exclamations!
[Fish: Oh my god, this illustration is too beautiful! ? ]
