Chapter 167 Publication
The summer vacation at Caltech is particularly long, extending from late June to late September.
Audrey attended the Handicraft Arts High School for a vacation that was slightly shorter than that of California Polytechnic, but it was also more than two months.
However, even a long holiday will eventually end.
September 2, the Victory Day of the United States and Japan War was the last day of Audrey on the crew of "High Heels Button Shoes".
That night, after the performance, director Abbott announced in public that Audrey would leave the crew and presented Audrey with a bouquet of flowers as a parting gift.
This news surprised many people, for example, the actors who played the chorus with Audrey, and the female lead Miss Fabre.
In their opinion, Audrey is highly valued by director Abbott, and the theater audience is also impressed by Audrey's role. As long as Audrey persists, she will soon become popular on Broadway.
I was about to become famous, but I suddenly wanted to quit. What kind of snakeskin operation is this?
Fabre couldn't understand, what school should he go back to if he had this condition? As long as he became famous and had money, what could he not do?
Or is his noble boyfriend actually not like her coming out to do this business?
Should she be stupid or naive?
Men are unreliable!
Of course, Fabre just complained in his heart, but he didn't say a word in front of Audrey.
Let's go, let's go, no one will come to grab my attention when I leave.
There was nothing to reluctantly give up, nothing to say goodbye with tears in my eyes. The next day, Audrey, Isla and Simran boarded the train to California. Although we had been together for a lot of time, our relationship was not so good.
What's more, the crew will take to perform on stage that day.
"Crazy!"
Audrey was not here, and the performance of "High Heel Button Shoes" was not affected at all. The theater kept laughing and cheering, and the applause was still there at the end of the curtain call.
However, after the first performance, the manager of the New Century Theater came backstage to find director Abbott and asked why the "angel" didn't appear.
"Ange" refers naturally to Audrey.
This is the code name given to Audrey by the drama critic, and it has been recognized by many audiences. Some people even watched the performance several times for her.
Abbott told the truth, and the manager said with a heartache after hearing this: "Abbott, why did you let someone go so easily?"
"Do you know..."
As soon as the manager started talking, Abbott interrupted without hesitation: "I know!"
"It is because I know that I let her come and go freely."
"Sir, Audrey is an angel. Since she is an angel, it is impossible for her to stay on earth forever, isn't she?"
The manager heard something in Abbott's words and asked, "Abbott, if possible, please make sure to make it clear."
Abbott shook his head and said, "You don't have to worry about this until now. No matter how clear it is, Audrey will not return to the crew."
...
Just as the train was moving at a balanced speed, Evan appeared in a bookstore in a department store in Los Angeles.
After more than three months of revision and correction, the first "Brothers Battle" in the official series of novels written by Virginia, "The Battle of Brothers" has finally been published.
The first edition of the novel was not very printed, and this was a decision made by the publisher to be on the safe side.
Of course, as a product that connects physical cards, Magic Seven Company has provided a lot of publicity resources. Not only has novels been listed in "Magic Home", but the bookstore channels developed almost all large domestic booksellers.
However, with the support of these resources, Virginia's novel did not become a hit.
In terms of genre, "Brothers War" is a fantasy novel. At this time, American fantasy novels developed rapidly, but most of them were published in cheap magazines. Popular fantasy novels in the United States include adventure novels with science fiction skins, heroic stories of "sword and magic" full of blood and violence, and the "Cruso Myth" that makes people read SAN values crazy. As for the "Midearth World" with a huge influence in later generations, only the tip of the iceberg of "The Hobbit" was revealed, and the "Lord's Ring" would not be published several years later.
Because I am used to reading entertainment fantasy novels in cheap magazines, the slightly higher-priced "Brothers" sold in bookstores is not very popular.
However, although ordinary readers do not have a strong desire to buy, "Brothers Battle" is of great significance to card players. After reading the novel, you can know the origin of many card faces and the story behind the characters in the card faces.
For players, after reading the novel, the cards in their hands immediately became vivid.
For a moment, is there any "Brothers Battle" the best sign to distinguish whether it is a loyal player in the card.
Of course, Evan came to the bookstore not to buy books, but because Virginia was signing here, so he came over to see the situation.
There were not many readers queuing up to participate in the signing, and Virginia was comfortable to deal with.
Instead of being with Virginia's team, Evan started a bookstore.
He was not alone, Linda was with her.
Linda, who is about to enter the second year of college, has grown much taller than last year, and her sharper body is getting sharper.
However, in front of Evan, Linda consciously restrained the light on her body.
Facing Linda, Evan was a little restrained because he found that Linda, who had not seen her for a while, had become more and more attractive in her mature charm.
Evan searched in the books without anyone else. Seeing that he seemed to be looking for a book with a purpose, Linda asked for the title of the book he was looking for.
"The Hobbit, author of Tolkien."
The book was released in the UK in 1937 and was introduced to the United States in 1938.
Linda recalled and found that she had read this book and was at Evan's home, so she asked with doubts: "Evan, what are you doing for this book? Don't you already have it at home?"
"It's nothing, I just want to see how much it's reprinted," Evan said.
Linda has read the original book and naturally knows that it is also a fantasy novel. Like Virginia's "Brothers War", it also fictions a beautiful and mysterious world. Of course, in terms of worldview, "Brothers War" is even more huge.
However, to be honest, Linda seems to prefer Tolkien's The Hobbit a little more because it's more childish.
As for Linda's "Brothers Battle", it follows the style of an epic story.
"You want to compare how much can you sell when watching "Brothers Battle"?" Linda boldly guessed: "Now the books are sold in a tepid, are you anxious?"
Evan reached out his hand, slid his fingers through the spine on the bookshelf, and nodded, "It's a bit of worry, I admit it."
"However, if you really want to be anxious, it may not be."
