Culture Conquers Foreign Worlds

Belloc went to visit Harvey. Harvey came down after being greeted by Shirley in the living room. Harvey's face was slightly pale, and his eyes were dull, because he used spells to create "Christ The Earl of Mountain.

　　 Publishing novels at his own expense is different from serial publications. A novel must have a large amount of content, and now that he has completed it before is not enough to fill a volume. Harvey's haggard appearance fell into Belloc's eyes and it became a shocking performance. Such a young novelist must be proud of himself. The work he is proud of is not even qualified for publication. It must be an annoyance and frustration.

　　 Bellok sitting in the living room didn't even mean to stand up, looking up and down Harvey with scrutiny.

　　 Harvey frowned and looked at the uninvited guest questioning: "Excuse me, are you?"

　　 Shirley had already told him the visitor's name, including his last name.

"It's an honor to meet with you, Alexander. It should be Mr. Harvey Adrian. My name is Belloc Leonard, the person in charge of Leonard Publishing. Mr. Adrian talks about your work."

　　 Harvey suddenly: "Oh, but I have stopped serializing novels in Leonard Press."

　　 "At this point, I know that your work is quite outstanding. We would not give up a promising work if it weren't for accidental factors." Bellok stared at Harvey, but he didn't see the meaning of questioning from Harvey's look. Doesn't he care about the condition of his work?

　　 Harvey came to him and sat down, waiting for his explanation.

Belloc deliberated on the words: "If I am not mistaken, do you plan to publish this novel at your own expense now? Although your work is quite excellent, you also need to understand the risks of publishing at your own expense. Excellent novels in history never Less, and most of them only become famous after the author’s death. Unlike Leonard Press, we have a large number of contacts and resources. Even if you just mention the name of the novel in the morning paper, your novel will be More than 70% of the citizens of Roy City saw it."

　　 "Puran Garcia is a young and short-sighted reviewer. He almost missed your novel. I don't understand why you collaborated with him."

Harvey squinted at the slightly contemptuous gentleman in front of him. Different from Diana’s natural arrogance, he was very upset with this contemptuous contempt, and he replied indifferently: "Garcia My husband has indeed been immature, but he has fully proved his sincerity."

"Sincere cannot explain anything, nor can your work appear in front of readers. If you are willing to keep your work in Leonard Press, I can promise to promote your work in three months. The entire city of Elroy will remember your name, a talented and cutting-edge novelist Alexander." Bellok opened his hands and smiled, why he painted a beautiful vision for the future.

"The sincerity is at least shown in front of me, but what Mr. Leonard said about the future is even more unrealistic. I chose to write a novel after seeing Leonard's solicitation. In fact, you have violated your promise of soliciting articles. "

Hearing Harvey’s words, Bellok picked up his carefully trimmed eyebrows. He had already said that Harvey hadn’t paid for it, and his tone was sharp and ironic: “Oh? Do you think your work is better than Is "Wild Rose" better? In this case, what those ladies and aristocrats in social circles often talk about will not be "Wild Rose" but it should be your work."

　　 The origin and popularity of "Wild Rose" is indeed higher than that of "The Earl of Monte Cristo." A novel written by a member of the Elroy family alone can become a good talk for the upper class.

"I do think so, and Mr. Garcia thinks so too." Harvey smiled calmly, tilted his legs and stared at Belloque in front of him and said slowly: "That's why we chose to leave Leonard Press. I am not your Leonard Press. Throw the dog you raised to the side to starve, and then [kindly] feed it when you think about it."

　　 "But some people are worse than dogs alive, what kind of difficulties will be faced by works that are not accepted by mainstream publishing houses, does Mr. Adrian know? Or you plan to open a bookstore to sell your works yourself."

　　 "Mr. Leonard, you may be mistaken a little."

"Please speak."

　　 "I've heard Mr. Garcia talk about the inside story of Leonard Press's call for papers. If I stood in Mr. Leonard's position, I would do the same. In my eyes, works are also used to earn profits."

　　 "Mr. Adrian, then you should cooperate with us even more. It's just a delay in publication. We will compensate you relatively well."

Harvey dismissed it: "But the status of this work in my heart is definitely lower than that of Mr. Leonard. The reason I created this work is just to make some pocket money. In comparison, I suffered from unfair treatment. It makes me feel uncomfortable. Moreover, the reason why I chose not to cooperate with Leonard Press is not entirely due to unfair treatment. Leonard Press has no way to satisfy my appetite. I want to make it myself by myself. Cake."

The smile on Bellok’s face gradually disappeared, and his eyes when he looked at Harvey became as cold as a poisonous snake: “Mr. Adrian is much more interesting than my phenomenon. I’m happy to accompany you to play this game. There will be no publishing house in Elroy willing to print your work. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com Even if you find some small workshops with poor printing quality, I can guarantee that your novels will not enter the bookstore, I think See how you promote your products."

Bellok stretched out his gray-black bow tie on his suit, stood up and smiled and said: "Of course, our Leonard Press has never refused excellent works. If at that time Mr. Adrian regretted it anytime. You can come to me."

　　 "I don't think there will be that time." Harvey smiled and responded to the provocation with a please gesture, indicating that he could leave here at any time.

　　 Bellok walked out of Harvey's mansion, and his face was pale when he heard the door closing. He expected that he might be rejected, but he didn't expect it would evolve into a fierce confrontation like the provocation of the two sides. He boarded the carriage and thought about what caused the situation to get out of control. The answer lies in Harvey's attitude. From the beginning, Harvey's attitude of neither overbearing nor overbearing has annoyed him a bit.

　　A novelist in a small area, what capital does he have to maintain a contemptuous attitude in front of the largest publisher in El Roy, it is time to teach these arrogant young people some lessons.

　　 Bellok was very upset, and after returning to Leonard Press in the carriage, he contacted all the publishing houses in El Roy by telephone and notified the news of the ban on "The Earl of Monte Cristo". Although the publishing houses in El Roy are not monolithic, the combined part led by Leonard Publishing is enough to push a work into the abyss.

"If you order, all bookstores will not accept the novel "The Earl of Monte Cristo". Any bookstore that sells this novel will be blacklisted. In the future, Leonard Press and partner publishers will not give it to them. Available from the bookstore."

　　 Hanging up the phone, Belloc still felt uncomfortable. It had been a long time since he met anyone who dared to be so rude in front of him.
